Predator and Prey!
Thanks Mark, Taga Safaris Africa connected us with Africa on Foot. We spent three nights with delightful drives and walks. Perhaps the best summary: Predator and Prey!
We saw leopards stalking impala, wild dogs chasing impala, hyenas feeding on impala and giraffe, and lions feeding on zebra. Gotta appreciate the life of predators and prey.
As to communication and service, when some of our flights were delayed, Mark kept everyone informed and our transfer from the airport worked out without a hitch, despite the flight delays. Much appreciated from our end.

Perfect safari
Coming to Africa and doing a safari has always been a dream for us, and since we are from New Zealand and it's such an effort to come here, we wanted to do it right. Upon reading the reviews for African Traits we decided to go with them, and were delighted with how everything turned out.
First of all, Godfrey's communication has been fantastic right from the start. This is our first time in Africa, and had an enormous amount of questions for Godfrey including transport, weather advice (since we came in the rainy season) and available safari packages that would work best for us - we ended up doing a 3 day Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire safari. Godfrey was very quick to respond, with incredibly detailed messages. We felt like all our questions were answered satisfactorily.
Secondly, our guide, Hassan, was excellent. He was very knowledgable, spoke great English (which was fantastic given our rather poor Swahili) and always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. He constantly communicated with other drivers to make sure we spotted all the animals we could - including doing some swift (but safe) driving through mazes of roads to make sure we spotted a leopard at the end of our final day, completing our Big 5!
Despite being the rainy season, the weather held up brilliantly, only starting to pour with rain at around 4pm - i.e. as soon as we had finished spotting animals each day! We initially planned to tent but Godfrey very generously upgraded us to a lodge for free because of the evening rain. The lodge was excellent too - great food, and even entertainment at dinner time.
The parks themselves were amazing - the personal favourite had to be Ngorongoro Crater, but Tarangire had spectacular scenery and animals too - and this was in March!
All in all, we highly recommend African Traits to anybody. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing safari
We went on a three day safari which Abraham organised to fit exactly what we wanted. We went to both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and had a good amount of time in each place. The driver was amazing and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. We were even lucky enough to see 2 leopards! The food was great and the tents, sleeping bags and mattresses provided were very comfy. I would definitely recommend this company for your safari.

Simply amazing!
Hi Lennox,
Safari was great! A very nice experience. We got to see the Big Five and we were actually surprised how many animals we got to see, like all the time we had animals in sight. The entire programme was very nice and the places we stayed was awesome. Very good stuff you put together!
Of cause I have to mention our driver Evans Ngigi. He was simply awesome. First of all he was very good at spotting animals. Second of all he drove very well. And third of all he was the nicest guy on earth taking his time to be social. A very big applause to him!

Seeing the wonders of Uganda with Ugandans
Our group of eight really enjoyed our 2 night 3 day safari to Murchison Falls National Park. Moses and Israel looked after us so well and are so knowledgeable. When planning the trip, via email, all our questions were answered and the competitive price delivered just what we wanted. What finally clinched it for Love Uganda was the fact that some of our money was going to support an orphanage. So many good things done by Ugandans !

7-days individual safari
Perfect organization! The tour was prepared according to our wishes and Eric's advices for the season: Masai Mara, Nakuru, Bogoria, Amboseli.
Awesome driver/guide. Very good choice for lodges. The driver took care about us since he picked up us at the airport and till our next destination in Mombasa.
Clear price. After payment during safari we didn't need any extra dollar to pay for something. It was also pleasant surprise to get breakfast before the tour and lunch on the way to Mombasa.
On safari we saw all animals we wanted. Big five and flamingoes were the target) Saw them all very close except leopards.
