Great rates & friendly service
You will be in safe hands with Madukha Tours. From the moment we contacted them, they were responsive to requests via email & offered us the same safari as other groups for a significantly cheaper price. Upgrading to private & a land cruiser was a no brainer & made our experience extra special. As people who are used to life in the UK, we did find the lack of "official" confirmation of e.g. payment a little strange, but once we arrived in Kenya we understood that this is the way things work there!
Our driver was incredibly friendly (Paul) and knew how to find all the animals, including catering to our perhaps unusually high interest in birds and antelopes. We saw leopards, cheetahs, lions, serval, giraffe, elephants, rhino, buffalo, hippo, 15 species of antelope (including the delightful dik-dik) and 100+ species of bird. Paul was there for us the whole time & we always felt safe with him. We did have a copy of "The Safari Companion", which together with my partner having a PhD in biology provided me/us with a particularly detailed account of the animals we were seeing & why they were behaving in certain ways. I suspect if you want that experience, you may want to request a specially trained guide who has a bronze or above certification from KSPGA.
The lodges booked for us by Madukha were all great & above our expectations.
We were very pleased we went with Madukha and not others!

Our first safari was unforgettable thanks to safari Soles
Our 8-day safari with Safari Soles was an incredible adventure, and much of that is thanks to our fantastic guide, Godlisten. From sunrise to sunset, he worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible. His keen eye for spotting animals was impressive—he seemed to notice wildlife before anyone else, and thanks to him, we saw the entire Big 5 and many more animals!
The vehicle added to the adventurous feel of the journey, making every moment of the safari exciting. We also appreciated Safari Soles' eco-friendly practices, such as using reusable packaging for our meals. It's great to see a company committed to sustainability.
Another highlight was the flexibility in adjusting our accommodations. We had a few specific requests, and Safari Soles was happy to make changes for us, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
While the experience was mostly flawless, there are a couple of small areas for improvement. We sometimes had to remind the staff that we are vegetarians. Additionally, the two days we spent primarily on travel routes could have been communicated better in advance to manage expectations.
Overall, we had an unforgettable safari with Safari Soles, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a unique and well-rounded experience!

They are professional and excellence
Rocktrek Safaris offered and rended a service I will remember for a lifetime. Their professionalism, dedication and care was exceptional. They care about my wellbeing by always keeping in touch with me from my country of origin to my destination. My handler made sure I get every information concerning my trip from time to time.
What I enjoyed and loved most was the time dedication, they were always on time and on point.
They were affordable but package well with every good thing one needs on a trip

Enthusiastic and really helpful!
I first met Barack when he picked me up from the bus station in Kigali. From the very beginning, he showed genuine care and asked if I had any plans or needed assistance in Rwanda. When I shared my travel itinerary, Barack immediately proved invaluable, arranging our permits and helping my friend and me find budget-friendly accommodations near Volcanoes National Park. He even secured a driver for the rest of our trip.
When we returned to Kigali, Barack went above and beyond once again, helping me obtain a permit to see gorillas in Uganda. He connected me with his local contacts, ensuring everything was well-organized. Throughout the trip, Barack consistently offered helpful advice, valuable information, and ensured we got the best deals wherever we went.
I wholeheartedly recommend Barack to anyone in need of a trustworthy and resourceful guide. His dedication made our journey truly seamless!

Enthusiastic Guide with lots of experience in spotting animals.
After our first Game Drive with John we decided to make 2 more with him. He is reluable, enthusiastic, has a lot of experience and has an incredible eye for spotting animals.
As a photographer I appreciate that he is not rushing you and you can take your time for a picture. If I would come again I would go with him all over.

He was friendly, accommodating, attentive to our needs,prompt and reliable.
Tongesai was very quick to answer our emails and answer all the questions we asked. Our adventures started within hours of being picked up from the airport. Our days started early and we stayed busy enjoying the activities throughout the day with enough time to telax a bit before dinner. Our safari guides were very knowledgeable and were able to answer any question we asked. The accommodations were first class at every stop. The success of our trip was due to the expert planning by Tongesai. Everything went as planned and there were no unexpected hiccups. It was a trip well worth the money spent. We would highly recommend Cultural Vibes if you are planning a trip to the Botswana, Zimbabwe area. In fact, we are already working with Tongesai for a return trip next July starting with Kruger National park.

Great safari experience with Suricata Safaris!
The safari arrangements by Suricata were very professional. Even though our arrival flight was delayed, the communication with Suricata worked out and they were waiting for us at the airport. Accommodation worked out well in Arusha, Suricata Boma Lodge as well as in Angata Tented lodges in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Suricata Boma Lodge was particularly nice! The food was great in all of these places and in our picknick lunches. Our guide Elias was great and had a very good eye for animals. Definitely recommend their services to anyone. Thank you Suricata Safaris!
