A Tremendous Experience
In August 2013, my wife and I enjoyed a 13 day journey with Regional Tours and Safaris, which I would highly Recommend. We travelled from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro to the Central and North Serengeti and then flew from Arusha to Zanzibar and after a day in Stonetown stayed at the Zanzibar Retreat hotel in Matemwe. It was the best vacation of our lives. Maturaf (in Zanzibar) and Alex (in Arusha office) were very helpful and all of the pickups and arrangements worked perfectly. Our guide Amani was a lovely man, a great driver and had remarkable vision and knowledge for viewing wildlife. We saw incredible numbers of zebra, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, and lions and the odd leopard and cheetah. The accommodation was very comfortable and at times luxurious even in the bush of the north Serengeti. We would recommend that rather than backtracking by road to Arusha or Zanzibar, that you fly from the Seregeti and thereby save a day or two and a lot of mileage. Matemwe beach was a long white powder beach that seemed deserted at times and was great for long walks and swimming at high tide with great snorkling/scuba diving nearby. Regional Tours was priced reasonably compared to other companies who used the same land cruisers, provided the same food and accommodation and covered the same routes. I would highly recommend them.

5***** Safari!!
We've just arrived from the most amazing holidays ever: our first safari!!!
We prepared our game drives and accommodation with Soul of Tanzania that went far and beyond to meet our expectations. In our own jeep (with just me and my husband) and with a great guide - thank you Rahim! - we were able to see the big five and so many more!
Tarangire was overwhelming, Ngorongoro left us in awe and the Serengeti... well... there are no words to express how excited we were! Food was good (Soul of Tanzania prepared hot meals for us. All other tourists had packed sandwiches!) and the lodges we chose were fine. I must highlight the Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge, inside the Serengeti park. Having a glass of champagne on the middle of the park, while the hyenas were walking around and a mongoose just passed under our room was an unforgettable experience!!
In the end, I and my husband left Tanzania with just one thought in our minds: to return ASAP!

We were traveling in July 2017 at Kilimanjaro Tarangire and Ngorongoro, was great
Everything we had booked about Furahia has been wonderful. The transfer to the jeep was great. The drivers on the safari communicated very well, explained many things and gave experiences and knowledge of the animals and continued very well. It took us all 9 people very much fun with the trekking company Furahia to travel anytime again kind regards from the Swiss Marc

Safari + Beach Kenya Safari.
First things first. To say I'm impressed with the service you provided is an understatement. My wife and boys have said they want to come back here again. They have never said that before and they have been to many places. Patrick is a great ambassador for bison safari as he's the guy the client meets. He is truly excellent in how he represents your company. I will not only recommend you going forward, but will use you again for our next trip. So as big thank you and please share with Patrick. Many thanks

Tanzania safari
Every thing worked perfectly, guide expert, prudent and friendly, the 4wd toyota was dated but mechanically in good order: no problem occurred during our 10 days trip in Serengeti Lake Manyara Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire Parks.

Lets Go Travel - Kampala, Uganda the only way to travel!
Thankyou Lets Go Travel - Angelica, Charles and our driver and guide Emmy - for sharing your knowledge and Ugandan culture with us. Our safari commenced in Kampala, onto Queen Elizabeth National Park in search of the elusive tree lions. Driving around in search of tree lions was not proving to be "fruitful" until our guide said "I have a feeling to turn around - What is that feeling" We all shouted -" Instinct! Follow your instinct." Emmy quickly turned the landcruiser ("troopie") around - wise move. In the boughs of a fig tree were four glorious fat sleeping tree lions. That's what makes the difference. A guide and driver who will go the extra mile to please his clients. The schedule was tight and in hindsight I should have allowed for more time. Thankyou Let's go travel you lived up to all my expectations and more - the Safari - Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest ( Gorilla trekking) and Lake Mburo where absolutely breathtaking. The Ugandan people, wildlife, unique Ugandan landscape and natural beauty of the forests and lakes will be remembered forever. Let's Go Travel - the only way to travel!

Amazing experience for wildlife
We recently enjoyed an amazing 5 day safari with Natural World and will recommend this to every one out there, as this was a great experience.
The team was lead by Robert, was very welcoming and accommodating with all of our queries before booking.
He answered all our emails promptly and provided information to support us through out the trip.
We booked a tented camp .The tents were kept very clean and everything was good because of the people around that made it comfortable for us.Simple yet great food.
Our driver / guide Fransis was great, he is competent and helpful.
He is knowledgeable on animals and their specific locations-habitat, inside the Maasai Mara reserve, so we were very happy to have seen all the Big Five.
This was one of our dream holidays and Natural world made sure we loved every minute.
Robert from Karibu can make your trip interesting in a country as Kenya.
I highly recommend "Karibu Safaris simply because their package price is quite reasonable.
Overall it was a great experience, and good value for money.I would use Karibu safaris if I was back in Kenya and would recommend them to my friends.

Everything we hoped for and more!
This was our first trip to Africa and traveling with 4 children (ages 13-22) and my wife, I wanted to make sure that I found a company what could meet some very important criteria in putting together a two-week trip to Uganda. Writing an email to someone thousands of miles away and trusting them to put together a package was a leap of faith and it so happens that my leap was well worth it!
I wanted to make sure that first and foremost my family would be safe. I also did NOT want a package that was also sold to many other people and just be crammed in with several others. I wanted a private experience with my family but realized I couldn't go it alone. I also wanted to understand the culture, animals, have some flexibility if we wanted to stop somewhere and see something and not always feel like I was on a schedule.
I wrote several companies I found on the web but immediately felt drawn to Kevin at Experience Uganda! He was very responsive to my requests and endless revisions to schedules and accommodations. He would not just answer my questions in a timely manner but his responses also indicated that he understood Uganda well but also understood the western world standard of living, customs and expectations (having grown up in New Zealand) and did very well at explaining what the expedition would entail and guided me through the whole process of putting together this incredible adventure.
Kevin even called me to help answer my questions and calm my concerns about a trip of this sort. When he realized that my 13 year old would not be able to trek Chimps in a certain area he had planned, he quickly found another location which would allow my 13 year old to go. He was very accommodating and very pleasant and patient to work with.
Kevin's place, Karibu, is very welcoming and clean and well run with a great staff. His wife Leslie is very charming and I loved speaking a bit of French with her and experiencing a bit of French influence in the very delicious and well-prepared meals. They were very attentive to our needs. Kevin arranged an amazing driver and guide for our family who was with us the whole time in a very comfortable Land Cruiser. Patrick, our driver, understood Uganda well - history, animal behavior, geography, all the bird species, politics, and seemed to be well connected with people everywhere we went. It was clear as we would see other guides and drivers that we had someone above and beyond the ordinary! It was a great learning experience for the entire family. Patrick took the time to connect with our family including the children and when he found out that one son really wanted to see a Leopard, Patrick went the extra mile and with some patience found us a leopard in the evening and watched him for about 90 minutes as he scoped out his prey.
I can't imagine this trip working out any better and I have no regrets about my decision to work with Kevin and Experience Uganda and would do it again in a heartbeat! It was a trip of a lifetime and met all of the expectations we had for it.
