Gorillas in the mist
I took a solo two day trip to the see the gorillas in Volcanos National Park, Rwanda, and it was incredible. I'd highly recommend the company - and in particular my wonderful driver and guide, Enos. He was extremely knowledgeable and a real gentleman. I was travelling solo and he made sure I was looked after every step of the way. And of course - the gorillas were amazing! We got to see an entire family after just 30 minutes of trekking - and were privileged enough to see a baby that had been born the night before. It was a truly unforgettable experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gorilla Trek Africa to anyone.

Amazing and fabulous Safari vacation
We were 2 families and Flash planned every detail of our vacation with professionalism and caring. As a smaller more flexible company, all special requests were met with understanding and a smile. Flash not only arranged our safari with a fabulous and wonderful guide named Adam - but all lodges and the tent camp were perfectly chosen to give us an amazing overall experience. They also handled our Zanzibar portion and that was carried out with the same professionalism and perfection as the rest of the trip. I can't say enough good things about Flash - from the moment we contacted them via email and until we were on our plane home we felt Flash with us, and how important it was to them that we have an amazing time.

great service
Amazing experience in Amboseli National Park. Patricia, the operations director met us in the airport for a quick pre-briefing and was very nice to show us the best places for dinner around Nairobi. We ended up having dinner in an Italian restaurant which I do not remember the name but had awesome food and great Italian wine. Driver Faral was everything we needed: Knowledge, experience, humor and kindness in the same package :) Experience was top notch on all aspects.

Amazing, out of the ordinary safari for a multigenerational family!
We just returned from an indescribable safari with Safari Infinity. Our group was a multigenerational group of 6, so it was a tall order to meet the needs of an 11 year old and 75 year old grandparents. From start to finish, Safari Infinity was just spectacular. I researched quite a few safari companies, and Lucia at Safari Infinity was so great with communication and I never felt pressured to book. It really sealed the deal early on that we would choose them as a company.
Lucia did a great job of guiding us towards an itinerary that worked for all of us and was also within our families budget. No question was too silly for her to answer, and it was so great to have such good communication because, while our family has traveled a lot, we had never planned out a safari.
Once we got to Tanzania, we were met by Kelly, who made us feel at ease at once. I don't know how to describe Kelly other than he's really a special human being. His excitement about being a guide is intoxicating, and we never felt like he was just going through the motions like some tour guides. My parents, who have done extensive traveling in India and Asia said that Kelly was by far the best tour guide they'd ever had. Kelly is very bright and an expert in wildlife, and was able to navigate questions and conversations from my political science professor dad about Tanzanian history and also do a foot race with my kids. He went above and beyond to show us his country, help us understand the people and also taught us so much about wildlife. Kelly did not take us on a standard tour, but really went beyond what we expected. Many days, we were the only jeep that we saw for miles. He would get his binoculars out and find animals for us. His tenacity allowed us to see the unexpected…a lion eating his kill, 2 wildebeest crossings, a dung beetle, rhino, leopard..the list goes on an on. Kelly really made the safari a real trip of a lifetime. We all felt like it was so much more than a safari, but really an educational experience, an adventure (the day our truck got stuck in the Northern Serengeti), and a bonding experience for our family. By the end of the trip, he was truly a friend of our families.
The safari itself was fabulous. Lucia chose accommodations that met our budget, and to be honest, they were much nicer than I expected given that our family did more of a "low budget" safari. The accommodations were really nice and the food, especially at Kati Kati Camp and Mara Under Canvas was fabulous. I had no idea that we would eat so well while on the trip. We loved the tented camps, and the service was incredible, especially at the tented camps. We loved the sundowners and the popcorn (who knew Tanzanian's loved popcorn so much!).
After our safari, our family went to Tanzania for a week. We planned this separately, but Safari Infinity picked us up to transport us to our flight back home. Our guide/driver en route back (can't remember name), was also fabulous. My daughter developed a rash in Zanzibar, so the Safari Infinity driver went out of his way to find us a chemist so we could get some medications. It really was great because being sick in a foreign country is the worst.
All in all, I cannot recommend Safari Infinity more highly. We have only been back a week and have given their name to numerous friends of ours after they saw our photos. We truly hope that our safari experience isn't the trip of a lifetime, and that we'll be able to go back with our kids again and hopefully our grandkids. If so, we will certainly use Safari Infinity again!

Amazing Serengeti.
A well maintained park with teeming wildlife. Roads are very rough and dusty. Toilets and lunch areas well maintained and clean . No off road allowed so areas are in good condition. Great weather.

Our guide Tony, was very flexible and educated us throughout the entire trip. We had a great time!
Tony always listened to what we wanted to do and suggested different things along the entire trip. He was very knowledgeable about many topics from wildlife,birding to history and politics. we thoroughly enjoyed his company and laughed together throughout the trip. He was always considerate of our needs and was constantly attentive to us! it seemed like everywhere we went ,everybody knew and respected Tony and we kidded him by suggesting he should be the Minister of Tourism!We highly recommend Mamaland Safaris!!!

Wonderful trip
I was with Gametrucker in Turkana Lake for a cultural festival there. We spent 7 days travelling in Northern Kenya by a truck and sleeping in tend. The travel went very well, the agency team is professional and friendly. All passeggers were extremely interessing people and we enjoyed time together helping the team in daily activities preparation such as tend camp setup, as a family. We discovered amazing lands in remote area of the country and we have always the security standards in place. Definitely the most serious travel agency i have esperienced in east africa.

Fantastic!
Jackie was great, she answered all my questions quickly and efficiently. She is kind and she will do her best to make your adventure one to remember. I went on a 8 day tour, trekking for Gorilla's, game safari, trekked for Chimpanzee's. The treks were hard for me but the end result makes it all worth it! The accommodations we chose were budget but honestly they were amazing. The service was great, everyone made sure we had everthing we needed and more. Our guide Richard was the best! He went above and beyond for us. We told him we loved avacado, he stops along the road and gets a bag of them for us. He made sure I had the best adventure trekking for gorilla's. He made sure I had a porter and that the guide kept and eye out for me, and Sara did, I will never forget this adventure. Thanks Katona for making my first trip to Uganda an memorable one. I will defiantly be back.

Amazing travel with ANDA in Tanzania
I surely recommended to everyone ANDA AFRICAN ADVENTURE for a trip in Tanzania.
From the first e-mail Remsi from ANDA has been very kind and very professional; he always answered to all my questiones and he organized a perfect tailor made travel for us.
Pita, our tour guide and driver, was as well very professional and competent and we enjoyed every day of our tour!
