Perfect organisation. Flexible timeplanning. Valuable suggestions. Experienced ans helpful Guide.
We enjoyed our Safari Experience and can warmly recommend Uhuru Travel in DarEsSalaam. We wanted just visit the Mikumi Np but the recommendation from Uhuru Travel to visit Udzungwa Mountains turned out to be a Great choice! The driver and guide Julius was very friendly, helpful and experienced and with very good knowlage of wildlife, fauna and culture. The car was an older Land Rover without ac but with excellent offroad qualities and the missing ac was absolutely no problem in June . The accomodations Udzungwa falls Lodge and Stanleys Kopje was excellent. We definitly would book our next trip in Tanzania with Uhuru Travel.

5Day Gorilla tracking and nature wild safari Uganda
Supportive team from Wal-Mark Africa safaris, helped us save and do the Gorilla tracking in the low season and loved the Kazinga channel boat cruise on our Queen Elizabeth park game drive. Beautiful selection on accommodation in the parks.
I do recommend them for other travelers for Uganda safaris

One of the best experiences i had in my life
The service and the communications were very good, you get a lot of information about the animals and the food you get is really good.
You are sleeping in Tends in the Serengeti which is a great experience. But if you wanna have higher comfort you should book by a different company where you can sleep in apartments.
I have seen the "big five" on a three day Safari and all the other animals you can imagine.

Direct and highly professional communication with nature and african culture.
The firsts contacts by email with Kikwetu were always fluid and friendly. The safari details were discussed and clearly explained. Once in Nairobi, since the first day, me and my wife received a friendly and kindly treatment by all the staff . During the Safari itself, the service and expertise of the guide were exceptional. I really can say that we recieved what we expected for a trip in the deep and alive Africa. Beside the richness of the animal and vegetal diversity, I specially enjoyed the different geological enviroments, since very old metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, to very young volcanic deposits associated with the Eastern African Ridge.
I strongly recommend Kikwetu.

Far beyond what I'd been imagining.
There's no question that many before me have ridden the rough roads of the Serengeti, and there were many times when I found our safari car surrounded by a dozen others and this or that favorite hippo pool. And it was not a thundering herd of buffaloes or elephants but instead a caravan of cars raising that plume of dust off in the distance. Never you mind; this was my safari, my discovery, my Serengeti, just the same as it was for the half-dozen other explorers in our beefed-up, raised-roof Toyota Land Cruiser.
One visits the Serengeti on the plain's own terms. It's an elemental place, and despite the myriad rules for safari-goers (stay in the car, don't use noises to try and turn animals' heads, be very quiet when the car is stopped, windows go up in the presence of baboons, don't toss food to them or leave any behind, wear full body armor, or is you can't then at least wear a hat and slather yourself with sunscreen, drink a lot of water, but never from a tap), the Serengeti is a dangerous place. Big cats and angry elephants are the obvious dangers, but what about the snakes that slither everywhere unseen? Or the stinging insects or the relentless burning sun? Or the cute little vervet monkey that might jump in your car and rip your face off.
It is a dangerous place, and that's precisely why the Serengeti is such an exciting, personal place. Humans, who could so easily tame the landscape, have voluntarily agreed to leave the animals to be animals, very wild and unpredictable animals. And if one follows all the rules set up to minimize human impact, then one can suddenly be very close to animals quite indifferent to human presence as they stalk prey right there less than a stone's throw from a vehicle.
The Serengeti is a place where something exciting is promised to any safari rider who is willing to sit and wait for just a few more minutes. Like the time my car waited a good 45 minutes as a nearby cheetah seemed to be stalking a far-off flock of Thompson's gazelles. Then she suddenly changed her mind and direction and bolted 50 yards in the blink of an eye to nab a healthy -- and stunned -- African hare. So quickly did it happen that as I checked my camera I saw that I had a great shot of the cheetah leaping from a low crouch into a takeoff, followed by the cheetah standing in a cloud of dust and clutching a struggling hare in its jaws. No exposures in between. It all happened too fast. Things can take a while to unwind; nature follows its own timetable.
When one goes to the Serengeti, and leaves the wristwatch and the iPod at the lodge, the adventure is for him or her alone. There is a lot of land out there. And on the land are myriad animals always hunting or being hunted. One can see the struggle all day long. One can hear the struggle continue into the night. It is not for the squeamish. And it is very personal.

Amazing holiday with Go Explore safaris
This was a well-planned holiday and the service provided by Go Explore safaris and it was world class. Everything for the hotels locations to the standard of service whilst on safari we couldn’t have gone any better. I would recommend the service of Gorilla tour booking safaris to anybody thanks to the team and our driver Dickson who was so professional in taking us all over Uganda.

Wonderful safari to Amboseli and Tsavo East and West
We recently completed a week long safari with Transtrek Safaris and had a great experience! We were looking for a week long add-on in Kenya after traveling for 5 weeks in other counties in Africa. We contacted several companies we had found on Safari Bookings. We choose Transtrek because Daniel was wonderful to work with; he really took the time to answer all of our questions -be it on the phone or email - to ensure that we would be getting exactly what we wanted in out of our trip. We had already been to the Masai Mara in the past, so we wanted to explore other parks in Kenya. We choose Amboseli and Tsavo East and West, and Taita Hills. We really loved both Amboseli and Tsavo East and West. Amboseli is absolutely beautiful with loads of wildlife (try to stay at Ol Tukai if you are looking for a gorgeous lodge with spectacular views of Kilimanjaro). Tsavo East and West are much larger so your chance of seeing wildlife is a bit slimmer so you'll want to consider spending more time there. However, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous in both parks; you really feel like you are in the quintessential Africa bush. Serena Kilaguni Logde in Tsavo West was our favorite lodge - it is a gorgeous property with a watering hole that provided so much natural entertainment we even debated whether we should head out on our afternoon safaris!
In short, we were very pleased that we choose Transtrek as Daniel took into consideration all of our needs and requests and was really terrific to work with. Our guide was Peter who was also terrific - he was very enjoyable to be with for a week and took really good care of us!
