Awesome experience
We did a 8-day safari in September 2016 with Benson safaris. Our trip included 1 day at Lake Manyara, 1,5 days in Tarangire NP, 1,5 days at Lake Natron, 3 days in Serengeti NP and 1 day in the Ngorongoro crater.
We had an awesome time with our guide Issa and our chef Waziri.
Issa is a great guide and able to spot animals at any distance. Thanks to him we saw the Big Five and also a cheetah after a hard days work of finding one. He stopped our car for photographs whenever we wanted and so we could spend time to enjoy the animals close-by. Issa has an amazing knowledge about animals and the Tanzanian landscape as well as the culture. He was able to answer all of our questions in a very competent way. Waziri was our chef for the time. It is amazing how he was able to prepare great meals in the given conditions. We were always looking forward to open our lunch box at noon. We also loved the fresh scones and daily soups he prepared on our trip.
The planning of the trip with Benson was very good as well. Benson was quick to answer our emails and helped us to prepare a great itinerary without pushing us to do things we don't want to do. From beginning to end we had a very good feeling with Benson and always felt safe during our time. The car we had was well equipped and accompanied us through Tanzania safely.
Overall we had an awesome experience with Benson safaris. If we ever do another safari in Tanzania, we will definitely take Benson Safari and ask Issa to be our guide and Waziri to be our chef again.

“Had great time...highly recommended.”
It was a well organized trip covering 3 National Parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara) in a week.. Credits goes to Mr. Noah Kuti who have organized everything perfectly.. It is very hard to find tour operators like Mr Kuti who will patiently answer all your questions and arrive on time for your trip.. Package price found to be the best compared to other companies providing Land Cruiser for safari.. He took his sincere efforts for providing us the best accommodations in all the parks and also arranged the hot air balloon ride thru Masai Mara, which was really a lifetime experience.. I also thank Mr. Elinjo, our driver cum guide who was very friendly and enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable about parks and the characteristics of all animals & birds.. As a traveler, I strongly recommend others to utilize Wildebeest Safari's services as they are flexible for our different needs & professional at their services. Once again, I thank Wildebeest for providing us such a beautiful trip..

Maximum attention to our wishes and full cooperation and professionalism.
All previous information was clear and useful. The preparation by Kate and Darren that everything would go as planned, was maximal. Our expectations were surpassed by the magnificent trip prepared by Compass Odyssey. Thanks a million for Kate and Darren.

A Fascinating, Unique Experience
I was absolutely delighted with the impeccable service provided by Joseph and his dedicated team at Bamboo Ecotours.
The drivers and tour guides are extremely knowledgable about the spectacular natural environment of Kisoro and the fascinating cultures of the people and they share their knowledge generously with curious visitors.
Joseph was flexible and willing to customise any tour for members of my group; from transporting us to the national park for gorilla treks, tours of coffee farms, kayaking on the beautiful lake or visiting the Batwa tribe who live in a remote corner of the surrounding hills.
Joseph and Godfrey took my friend from Mexico and I on a visit to the Batwa tribe, which tourists rarely encounter. We were deeply touched by their plight and the challenges they face and also overwhelmed by their gift of friendship in singing and dancing for us.
Bamboo Ecotours is an extremely professional, conscientious service dedicated to excellence in tourism and devoted to protecting and caring for the beautiful region of southern Uganda.
I feel very privileged to have visited this idyllic part of East Africa and very grateful to Joseph and his team for making my stay so amazing.

Stunning Trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
We recently went to Tanzania for a Safari trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with my husband and our friends from Canada. I think we can call it the best trip so far and we already plan to return to Tanzania next year. Our guide Lawrence was an amazing spotter. He spotted some very difficult sightings of leopards and the most incredible was a Rino in the Crater. We are going with him again next time for sure. Great plan created by Paul and Mike in the office to cause minimum inconvenience and give us enough rest through the trip in very comfortable yet within our budget accommodation. I really appreciate Paul's patience with me and my constant haggle with staying in the budget. We couldn't have asked for more really. KatiKati camp was our best experience with accommodation. I can keep writing about it, but truly Tanzania has to be experienced to know more. We are so overwhelmed with our trip that we wish to come back as soon as we can. Thanks for making it memorable Mike!! Good luck for Migada.

Seeing the animals in their habitat was the most incredible experience i have ever had !
I must say thank you, to Private Kruger Safari's for their support and assistance made my safari, a life experience. It was my first trip to Africa. PKS shared with me a most warm welcome upon arriving, to the special care given me right up to my departure at the airport,PKS made my trip outstanding. Their knowledge of the bush allowed my safari experience to be the most incredible trip i have ever taken ( i have traveled all over the world). i was able to see and photograph all the big five and what i learned from them , the magnificent seven . The time spent on the hunt for these animals was well spent because i learned about each one in a very special manner from guides that knew the bush , as one guide, named Arrno said "the bush is my office" I look forward to going farther in to the bush with PKS on another safari.
self drive safari to africa
My Husband arranged our self drive tour through Africa with Fleetfoot Safaris. Hennie arranged everything for us including hire of the 4WD which we picked up in Capetown, everything Hennie booked was spot on, border crossings were made easy with his guidance and information. He even contacted us several times to make sure we were ok and that all bookings were as planned. I cant thank Hennie and Fleetfoot Safaris enough for all the effort they put in to make our safari a success.

7 day Safari - Kenya & Tanzania
Mr Otieno and his team were really attentive, caring and extremely nice people. When organising the safari tour he was more than willing to answer our constant emails of questions and was very quick to respond. Also very flexible and knowledgeable on how to best tailor a safari itinerary to our needs and places we wanted to see. The accommodation provided was really nice and we felt safe in an unknown country, especially as it we were only two girls travelling independently.
This trip was made so much easier and stress free having OT and his team.
Thank you!
