3 day Luxery Safari
Good communication. On time for everything. Guide was great and a pleasure when driving us around. There was a problem with the truck but he fixed it within a 15 minutes and we were back to looking for animals again. Would recommend this company for a future safari.
Very satisfied customer
Encounter Africa were my first point of contact entering Uganda from the UK.
From my first initial contact with Encounter Africa I was provided with clear, useful information answering numerous questions any Production Manager might have entering a foreign country with crew, kit and contributors. Encounter Africa were there as a great support to the production when we needed them and I knew they were there as a fall back to production. I was given a very positive attitude to my queries by their staff who were efficient with communication. I would happily recommend Encounter Africa for film crew fixing services in Uganda.

Excellent Safari with Tai Travellers
When I was searching for a safari company, I asked for a some recommendations from a friend living in Tanzania. He suggested Tai Travellers (amongst others) as one that I should look into.
I had some specific requests about my safari: it must be three days, it must visit Serengeti, it must be a camping safari, and I must be able to travel alone at a reasonable price. Tai Travellers was the only company that would meet those needs. Many of the other companies said that it was impossible to go to Serengeti in three days or estimated the price at much higher than Tai Travellers. Tai Travellers was also the most prompt and clear when communicating.
My safari was excellent. I had a great driver who was knowledgeable about the wildlife and plants life around us. He had a knack for spotting animals. I was able to see the Big Five (although the rhino was further in the distance than one would hope, but thats nature). The chef was excellent, cooking up delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Both my driver and chef were also seemed very well educated. Car and dinner conversations spanned topics like politics, social services, anthropology, cultural icons, and of course, wildlife and plant life.

Perfect
Quest Horizon Safaris is an excellent tour operator, run by a professionnal : Naiman.
From the first contact by mail and the organization of our desires and expectations, to the end of the trip, all is made for our satisfaction. A real "à la carte" safari, with an experienced guide explaining both historical, cultural and natural sights. Far from a mass-tourism safari, all our requests were listened carefully, and we had an amazing safari we won't forget ...
I would definitely advice my friends to go on safari or tour with Quest Horizon Safaris !

A real trip of a lifetime, for learning, understanding, appreciating wildlife as a natural gift
Highly recommended it anyone. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.. Wouldn't recommended to see Sth Africa and Kruger Park without a guide that has Jaco experience, passion and professionalism regarding wildlife and tourism.
Seen all the important animals in our safari and the guided tours in the way for Kruger was excellent too - ended up in a most beautiful waterfall that I couldn't help myself but has to swim in it.
Looking fwd to Jaco sharing some of the pics he took of our trip.

Very nice, pleasant and perfectly organised 4 days safari with Avocet Tanzania Safaris
We made a 4 days safari with 3 people in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro-Ngoro beginn of April 2016 and enjoyed Avocet Tanzania Safaris' services. Avocet was very responsive from the first contact and perfectly organized the safari, including transfer from/to Dar es Salam and thanks to our friendly and competent guide Peter we made a pleasant safari and enjoyed all highlights despite the relatively short duration.

Honeymoon
We had the luck in contacting Land and Lake regarding our honeymoon. Their service was impeccable throughout. We had a twin centre holiday and the transfers throughout went without a hitch.
We whole heartedly recommend them if you want a professional and personal service . Five star.

Indescribably the most amazing experience of Africa with the utmost professional tour guide
From the very first time we met with Lourens in the comfort of our own home we knew we were in for the experience of a lifetime. He was the utmost professional showing his love of Africa in every photo and sentence. He was always available for any information and we even had a group meet and greet before leaving Perth. Every place we visited was magical, the Big5 found easily, the drivers so friendly and Lourens always guiding us brilliantly. It was the very best experience of our life and I don't think we will match it again ... until we go on another African Safari with Lourens of African Big 5 Safaris.

Fabulous safari
The safari operator faced a challenging task to organize a tour for us. We were a group of 7 - two families and a friend, with varying accommodation and dietary requirements. We had a short time (5 days) and wanted to cover a lot of sightseeing and game-viewing. And we were on a tight budget.
But we had a fantastic safari, without out a single blemish. The manager, Noah, planned the tour very well. He answered my emails very quickly and discussed issues over Skype when necessary. He clearly understood our requirements (which we kept changing), and arranged the safari accordingly.
Eustace was a superb guide and driver for the entire safari. He was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Starting from Nairobi we covered Amboseli, Lake Nakuri and Masai Mara within 5 days. Thanks to Eustace, we saw the big 5 and much more.
We stayed in excellent luxury game lodges organized by Noah and Eustace made sure that we were comfortable.
In short, we enjoyed much more than many of our friends, who paid much higher prices.
