Thoroughly Satisfied!
The greatest thing that I can say about Big Time Safaris in Kenya is that they have such an open style of communication. It is their desire to meet ones travel needs and to assure that each is treated well. Another aspect that I absolutely liked is the great variety of tour opportunities as well as the differential in prices depending on how much one enjoys being catered. The Kenya tour focusing on Masai Mara was outstanding both with the venues and guides. I could not ask for more.
This was an amazing trip and I recommend Kenya Walking Survivors without reservation to everyone!
Kenya Walking Survivors Safari put a trip together for us that was in our budget and surpassed our expectations. The director responded promptly to our questions, picked us up at the airport, at the border, and made us feel like family. Our guide and cook were great and we always felt taken care of. I have only positive things to say and hope everyone gets to experience this type of trip!

This tour was a very informative, low cost, but comfortable & enjoyable experience.
A good choice of scenic areas, including Drakensburgh mtns, & Kruger N.Pk., where animals were prolific.
The tour operator Darren Humphries, is an excellent guide, with a wealth of knowledge of Africa.
Meals prepared by the crew were plentiful & tasty. Accomodation was clean & comfortable, a mix of cottages & resort/lodges. Every effort was made to ensure the passengers were kept safe, & enjoying their adventure in a friendly atmosphere.

You won't be sorry about booking a trip to Africa with Taga Safaris
We have used Taga Safaris 3 times now going back to 2004 when Mark helped plan a trip of a lifetime for our Silver wedding anniversary. He was so helpful that we used his service again in 2010 and 2012 and we also got a discount off some of the lodges we stayed at. It is so easy to do everything for your trip through Taga and it has a much more personal service than some of these bigger companies.
We really recommend using Taga Safaris and will do so again on our next visit to Africa. Thanks Mark, you do a wonderful job!
Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Radul
Flamingos were in plenty and the white rhino.
Review about Kenya by Radul
Very easy to spot animals and they are in the wild not like our country they are kept in the zoo

Great birding trip to Uganda
Deo drove us hundreds of miles and with his and Robert's expert bird finding skills we clocked around 480 species and saw all the main mammals as well - including the fantastic Biwindi gorillas. Communications, food and accommodation were all excellent and, overall, I was thoroughly impressed. Would strongly recommend this company.

Great individual Kilimanjaro tour + 1 day Safari (Ngorongoro)
We booked a very individual tour on mountain Kilimanjaro. We decided for the lemosho route and reached the summit! :-) Our two guides were very experienced and we had much fun with them and they with us. The big advantage of a small group tour is, that we could align the starting time and the pace for every day. So it was also possible to add acclimatisation walks in the afternoons. Food was delicious and we wondered how our cook could provide us with such tasty and various food over the whole tour. Also the whole team was very friendly and obliging.
After the kilimanjaro tour we added 1 day safari at Ngorongoro crater, also a individual tour for us.
Andrew - the boss of the travel-agency - was very flexible in arranging our whole kili tour and safari including all needed transfers, hotel accommodations, etc. Especially the way back to the airport early morning at 3 a.m. was organized by Andrew quasi overnight. Thanks a lot for that again!
We could highly recommend this local agency.

Uganda 2 week Birding and Mammal Tour January 2014
Hi my name is Peter Saunders from Nottingham England--we booked this birding holiday a year in advance with Deo. The participants were Peter and Lorraine Saunders, Jonny Price and Will Price.
From the time we initially committed to the holiday Deo (Uganda Eco Tours) kept us upadte with news and answered any queries etc very quickly!
As for the tour the combination of Deo and Robert Nuwagaba made for a brilliant and facinating experience. Both brilliant birders knowing all the bird calls and habitats with an amazing gift a actually location the birds. Deo has a great mindset for detail and orginisation with the trip running without any significant problems. In 2 weeks we saw 470 species of birds and lots of mammals including Shoebill, Green-breasted Pitta, Finfoot (which was unexpected), Chimpanzee and Gorilla (amazing experience) and lots lots more. The accommodation and food were excellent with wonderful views from most places. I would strongly recommend the service of Deo if you are planning a trip to Uganda-Deo and Robert are really nice people with a great knowledge of the wildlife of Uganda. They both have a good sense of humor, very polite and look after their participants very well!
Thank you both for a great trip one we will never forget!
Good birding Pete Saunders
