Sept 2016
We just spent 15 days in South Africa, Botwana, Zambia and Zimbawe. Debra, from Born Free was our agent. She was a gift from heaven! She was never pushy or trying to sell us anything. She quickly foundout what our interest was and came up with a plan and itenerary. Then proceeded to help us with all our preparations. Visaa, pass ports, money, immunizations, ect. She left nothing out. The trip went perfect. We had NO worries. We had such a wonderful experience. Her advice and assistance was exceptional. She obviously was an expert and proffessional. If you are ever planning a trip to Africa, Debra should be your agent. I will be returning and She will definitly be planning my next adventure! Debra, Thankyou for making our trip so wonderful and perfect!

Amazing experience and service
Climbed Kilimanjaro as part of a charity expedition and the moment we landed received such a warm welcome. The guides and porters were very friendly and helpful, even when I struggled due to altitude sickness I received nothing but support and motivation to carry on. Without their help I wouldn't have made it to summit day! 100% would recommend this company and experience!

Fantastic Safari to Hluhluwe/Imfolozi and St. Lucia
We had a fantastic 3-day/4-night trip to Hluhluwe/Imfolozi an St. Lucia with Endless Summer Tours. Our guide Steve was wonderful. He is personable, knowledgeable, very hard working and a great cook. He really went the extra mile to provide a superior experience. While Hluhluwe/Imfolozi may not be as well known as Kruger, we lost count of how many animals we saw in so many species. We were at times surrounded by a herd of elephants, saw three lions from a distance of 15 meters, and had a long and clear siting of African wild dogs, the most endangered carnivores in South Africa. At evenings during the braai at Mpila Camp, we had to keep the hyenas away by shining flashlights in their eyes. Rhino, buffalo, monkeys, baboons, impalas and warthogs wandered through the camp. All of this without the crowds of Kruger. In fact, for most of the time we saw no other cars on the roads. In St. Lucia we added hippos and the endangered samango monkey to our list of species encountered. I absolutely recommend Endless Summer Tours.

Amazing Kenyan experience.........
This was my first trip to Kenya - land of safaris and amazing adventure.To add on to the delight of our trip was the very well managed tours Namnyak Safaris headed by Mr.Clever and his very efficient driver Mr.Ali.
Things were coordially planned throughout the tour though there were a few loop holes ( food management).
Must appreciate the Hospitality of Mr.Clevers.
Cheery on the cake - Delicious dining experience at Gilani's at Nakuru.
On the whole we had an extremely memorable experience-amazing sights of wild life, insight into the Masai culture, the lovely lake Naivasha and last but not the least Nairobi city.
All credits to Namnyak tours and travels.

Unforgettable Experience
I made a Safari for 2 days in Maasai Mara Reserve. It was excelente! The service was excellent, very punctual, organized, with great programming, hosting and script. The guide knew very well the best spots to view the animals and did everything he could to show us as much as possible in the time we were inside the reserve. We did the two-day itinerary and one night, and we still could see many lions, elephants, zebras, buffalo, rare birds, gazelles, and dozens of other animals! Sunrise and sunset are also unmissable show! Reliable and competent company. Thank you for this experience!!! I will never forget the emotion I felt when I saw the lion so close to me. Amazing! <3

Wonderful time with Wildebeest Safaris
My husband and I booked a 5 day trip with Wildebeest Safaris about a week in advance. Luckily it was the off season so there was availability. Noah was so gracious in accommodating us on such short notice and was always prompt about returning emails and staying in contact. On the morning we were supposed to leave, my husband was very sick. I called Noah early in the morning to ask what our options were because we did not want to leave Nairobi that day in case my husband needed medical attention. Noah and our guide, Eustace, were SO nice and understanding and were able to push the trip back a day without sacrificing too much safari time. Mind you, this all occurred about 1 hour before we were supposed to leave and Eustace was already en-route to pick us up. When he got to our hostel he was updated on the situation and even though he had made this trip for no reason, he asked if there was anything else he could do to help us. I was so grateful for his kind words! Luckily, my husband was good to go the next day. We had a wonderful time visiting Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru, and finally Masai Mara. Eustace was full of interesting information that added another dimension to the trip. It was clear that he has a passion for his job. We could not say enough good things about Wildebeest Safaris and our wonderful guide. We are so appreciative and hope to come back to Kenya someday!

Tour experience
My experience was very wonderful in general. The local staff were very knowledgable and responsive. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone's safety and satisfaction with the tour. Particularly, Ninah and others were very open and friendly, ready to help with anything and answer any questions. I had a wonderful experience and thanks to all the staff that made it happen!

Great Safari Experience
Communication with Geoffrey was great - he responded very quickly to emails and clarified everything before we arrived. We were met at the airport by a friendly driver which was very helpful!
The safari itself was an amazing experience - we were looked after at every point and our driver was very informative. We will definitely be recommending this operator to our friends and families!

Safari perfect, nice country and guide was really preparated
Regarding the safari, our feedback is completely positive.
We have apprecciate all, the lodge were really nice, room clean and really nice place.
Also the plan was apprecciate, as we had time for relax and we did lots of thing.
Maybe the only day we'd changed is the first day in MAUN ( the second day of tour): we arrived in Maun at 1pm, so we spend all afternoon free. as it's the first day, maybe some game drive during the street to arrive in Maun would be nice.
Or something to be done in the city( we did a walk throught the city and there wasn't lots to do..) but maybe somewhere also to buy some souvenirs would be nice.
all other days were fine, also in Victoria fall's in our opinion time for optional activities was enough.
Our guide in Botswana was fantastic: he is available, nice with us and give us opportunity to spend some time as we prefer.
We really apprecciate all axpect of the tour.

6 Days Kenya Tour
Clever was an amazing guide who really assisted us well on our requirements. We were reluctant at beginning but the choice turned green for us. The accommodation and food was upto mark, although the picnic lunch needs improvement. The driver assigned to us was amazing. He had good knowledge of places around. The pricing were very economical or, to say, it was best in town. However, I would advice you to confirm the accommodation in advance to avoid any later havoc. Overall, a big thumbs up to the guide and driver and the arrangements they did. Definitely worth a try if its your first or consecutive visit to Kenya.
