Avoid them
This company (Clement in particular) are thieves in my opinion. They cancelled our holiday at the last minute at Xmas time and are still yet to refund me over $11,500 (AUS) They as previous writers have said can not be trusted at all.
My name is Steve. Follow the comments on Trip adviser for more terrible experiences with them.

Lemosho route - 7 days
Enosa Expeditions provided everything for me, including airport transfers, accommodation (a very nice hotel called Park View Hotel, located in Moshi town), camping facilities and all staff in mountain.
I climb Mount Kilimanjaro through Lemosho route for 7 days and my guide "Benson" made everything to reach the Summit of Mount Kilimanjaro!
I've travelled alone, but Enosa includes me in a very friendly group.
Enosa Expeditions fulfilled all deal details and at the end offered me two T-shirts and some fridge magnets.
Last meal at hotel was offered by Mr. Noel.
Comparing with others companies, the price was very reasonable.
I want to thank Mr. Noel by serious and professional way they deal with your customers.
We have 21 people in our group. We did wonderful overnight trip with Chabo Africa to Ruaha Natl Park
We had a fantastic experience. Ruaha National Park is truly beautiful and the entire Chabo staff was great throughout the planning process. Our drivers were also very knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. We spent the night in the park: some of us in the park-owned bandas and some of us in the park-owned cottages. The rooms in both places clean, comfortable, and inexpensive and the park staff who hosted us were also great. Finally, the whole expedition was very affordable. I would absolutely go on safari with Chabo Africa again.

Awesome 1st safari!
Chabo Africa was a great pick! There was 21 of us, and they understood our needs and time constraints to work with us. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Ernest was awesome: he definitely strayed from the path to help us find all the animals we wanted to see. He didn't mind that we were a rowdy group of 23 year olds and wanted to play some tunes on the ride to and from the park. He also didn't mind that we stood all over the seats of the car to get a better look! Great experience. Would definitely recommend.

First trip to Africa
Liselle at Sun Safaris helped us with our first trip to South Africa. We were so pleased. Every step of the way it was perfect. Not knowing where to start or where to go we trusted her judgment and we're thrilled with her choices. It was a trip of a lifetime and no doubt we will go back. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable trip we have ever been on. We didn't have to worry about a thing. We highly recommend Sun Safaris! Liselle makes it easy and Simple. We love Africa!

Absolutely Amazing
There are no words to truly put to describe the experience Comfort Zone Safaris gave me. It was a childhood dream to visit Kenya and the Masai Mara. The game drives were amazing, the people friendly and experience unparalleled. John made my experience by taking care of me from the minute I landed in Nairobi to checking on me even now that I am back home in Canada months later. I was so pleased to use this local tour company to show and share with me the experiences of their country. My favourite part, which was tailored by John, was getting to meet and do a home stay with the Masai People (Alex) and hearing childhood stories of becoming a Masai Warrior and sharing a meal.
John you are amazing - I miss you and Alex

Unbelievable Adventure!
This truly was a once in a lifetime experience. Seeing the great migration first hand is something I will never forget. Nature at its finest with some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen. Amazing experiences of lions eating their kill and taking shade under our vehicle. More elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions than I ever expected to see...and so close!!! Our guides were the BEST. I've never left a trip so desperately wanting to stay longer.

a Must for elephant lovers
We fell in love with South Africa when we first visited the country in 2011. Since then we returned almost every year. During the last years, we visited a large number of national parks in South Africa. Addo Elephant NP was on our itinerary almost every time, with ever increasing time spent there: the first visit, we stayed only one night, and on our last visit during Dec2015/Jan2016, we stayed 6 nights. The park's main attraction are the elephants, and you will not be able to miss them due to their huge numbers. There are also lions and rhinos, but they are very rare. There a no giraffes. We can spend hours at the waterhole simply watching the elephants interacting with each other. Their social behaviour is very much like humans. We particularly like watching the little ones, and there were always many of them.
The bird hide next to the restaurant is also worth a visit. Lots of red cardinals and weaver birds.
We always stayed in one of the park's chalets. They offer sufficient comfort and you are close to the animals. Although outside the park there are more luxurious accommodation for almost the same price, we always opt to stay in the park, because there is a major advantage: People in the park are allowed to enter 1 hour earlier and leave one hour later than people staying outside (this is because the gates between street and Addo rest camp close earlier/open later than the gates between rest camp and game area). Add the driving time from your accomodation to the park and you can easily calculate that good light for photography is impossible when you stay outside.
A typical day as we organize it looks as follows:
- get up 30 mins before the game gate opens
- have a coffee and some cookies or light breakfast (kitchen available in the chalet)
- enter the park when gate opens (usually at or shortly after sunrise)
- stay in the park (mainly at the waterholes) until 9 or 10a.m.
- return to the restaurant for breakfast
- during the day, get the sleep you missed (aircon available in chalet)
- around 4p.m. start the afternoon drive (some cookies and coffee before come in handy)
- leave park when gate closes
- have shower and dinner at the restaurant (but self cooking at chalet would also be possible)
- sleep
It is advisable to bring in your own supplies, especially if you want to cook yourselves, because the shop has only minimal choices.
Queen Elizabeth national park is beautiful
My first time to visit in Uganda and i visited with my daughter to Queen Elizabeth park for 5 days. I visited the kyambura gorge to see the chimpanzee and also the walk in the gorge where we found many birds. This park has about 606 different bird species and very wild selection of animals. Visit it and enjoy everything
