Fantastic Trip - Well organised and tailored to our liking
Two females travelling Rwanda for 8 days. The trip was tailored exactly to our request and everything was extremely well organised with daily itineraries, hotel details and contact numbers as well as emergency numbers for the Agency. I was extremely impressed and plan to go back to East Africa next year with the assistance of E-Trip Africa. We had a great selection of hotels and activities and not a single glitch throughout the trip. ETrip Africa know what they are doing when it comes to the region! They have clearly traveled the area and are familiar with the field and organise your trip accordingly. They have access to great Guides on the ground which is critical. We had an amazing guide, Kevin, with us for the entire duration. He was friendly and full of interesting and useful information and was able to talk to us about our political, historical, environmental and social curiosities about Rwanda.
One of the best organised trips with friendly, accommodating and pleasant agents - everything was simple and easy and they will ensure all is taken care of and well organised so you can enjoy completely worry free. Sent them a lot of emails with questions and they were extremely responsive with all queries. Thank you for everything! Highly recommend ETrip Africa and highly recommend Rwanda - dont let the press and general perceptions misguide you. The country is one of the cleanest, most efficient, friendliest, socially developed and safest countries I have travelled (and I have travelled to approx 50 countries).

Excellent Experience with Hello Tanzania
From beginning to end, we were very well taken care of by Mwajabu and Hello Tanzania. Two members of our group had food allergies - soy and gluten - and they did a great job taking care of us. In particular, we loved our guide on the safari - Richard. We were in great hands, saw amazing wild life, and never felt unsafe.
Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Excellent Safari with a good guide with humor and broad knowledge of nature.
The Safari was well organized. Savannah Explorers listened very well what we want to see and came with all kind of suggestions. Together we made a beautiful safari. Our driver/guide Ibrahim has a great knowledge of animal live in general and he was always a happy person with a lot of humor. Savannah Explorers arranged everything really nice. It was for us a great experience.

Great short safari
I set up a last-minute safari to Mikumi National Park with Gecko Adventure. They picked me up in Dar and we drove to Mikumi (about 7 hours because of all the heavy traffic leaving Dar). The accommodations at Camp Bastion were great and the game drives fantastic. My guide, Anthony, did a great job and I was amazed at all of the animals we saw - lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, impala, eland, baboons, jackals, etc. Overall, it was a fantastic trip.

Canoe trekking experience
If you are looking for a great, easy to plan, and reasonably priced safari, Gatatu is definitely the a company for you. We only had one day to plan a trip on, so we took the canoe trekking tour on Lake Bunyoni. It was the most beautiful, enjoyable experience of my life. Fred, our tour guide, grew up in the area and was very knowledgeable about the place and its surroundings. It was a great hike, with some cool stops along the way. We traveled the lake in dug out canoes. Lunch was provided, and it was very good. An entire days trip, for a very good price. If I do a trip like this again, I'll definitely go Gatatu!

Big 5 made this the trip of my life!
My experience was wonderful and I could not have asked for more. From the begining everything was explained and itinerary shared so I knew what was happening step by step. Everything went smoothly from the flights to the guide (Nordean spelling ?) meeting us to check in at all hotels. The hotels were wonderful and food was great. I can not say enough about our guide, he was knowledgeable, kind and was definelty out to show us amazing safari. He was very patient even after 2 hours of me taking pictures of the same elephants and zebras! Being two woman alone on the Safari and twice having to go to a local shop he was with us for every step to assure not only our safety but making sure the local people were not over powering. He was such a gentleman, on the third day we wanted to go to the Maasai Village and then to the shuttle to the airport. He not only took us to the Maasai Village but told them to give us the full welcome which was amazing but when we arrived early to Arusha he dropped us for coffee and waited outside until it was time to meet the shuttle even though he was in his home town and I am sure would have loved to go home to his family. He was truly incredible and I would request him again next year if I am lucky enough to to go again. Thank You for this amazing adventure and fullfillment of my life long dream!

Good experience
We spent a very good time in Tanzania with Lesaga Adventure Safaris. We did a 7 days tour visiting the best parks of the North. Our children lived a dream because it was like “the Lion King”! All the team was kind and receptive before the travel (with Sylvie) and during the safari (with Gasper). It was a good experience.

easy process for an amazing experience
Booked on line with James, who was able to make changes after the initial booking, he organized Charles to be my driver and guide. Charles made this trip into a great experience in parting he knowledge of culture, wild life etc, I spent an amazing time seeing the great migration in the Maasai Mara, the Rhinos near Sweetwater camp, and several other parks, all hotels great, and food amazing. The Safari I would do again, and would love to have Charles as a guide and James organise it, and Sopa hotels were in great spots.

First class communication, organization and service from 1st email of inquiry to arriving home
Having never been on a safari or to Kenya before I came across Doyan Safaris by chance over the internet. It was a last minute decision to do this trip. I found Edwards communication to be extremely efficient and he helped to tailor a safari experience based on the requirements of my trip with ease and at a great price. Edward was also very easy to work with in terms of payments and arrangements. Personally met us at the airport and gave us a lift to the hotel in Nairobi, and then again the following morning before starting the 3 day Masai Mari safari. The road trip on day one took approximately 6 hours to the camp which was located about 1KM outside of the National Park. Evening safari, full day on day 2 and early morning day 3 was enough for us personally but it was a fantastic experience. The tented accommodation was fine and as expected, don't expect luxury, but for two nights then no complaints even if the food wasn't that great.....take some snacks!. Lots of interesting people to talk to in the evenings all doing the same thing. Food wasn't great but . The safari guide who drove us for the whole three days was excellent, friendly, helpful, experienced and committed to making the safari the best it could possibly be for all of us. After the drive back to Nairobi we flew to Mombasa and had two nights and days at the Diani Sea Resort which was very good and all inclusive. Edward organised all of the internal flights, taxi pick ups and transfers and everything ran smooth, Edward was also very attentive in calling regularly to ensure everything was going well with the trip. If we were doing the same trip again then we would probably have looked to fly from Masai Mara to Diani Beach to save the time traveling. I would strongly recommend Doyen Safaris to anyone, I believe Edward could and would tailor a trip to your exact requirements, ours was last minute budget and he delivered admirably.
