An unbelievable experience!
Firstly, the organization from Silas was fantastic. He made sure that the whole trip was tailored to our needs, and was happy to review and adapt the itinerary until we were happy with every step of the journey. He was professional, helpful and did his best to get us the best quality for the best price - he didn’t disappoint!
Secondly, our driver, Sammy, was superb. We cannot speak higher of his knowledge of Kenya, excellent driving, incredible ability to spot all the animals in the Maasai Mara (including 2 leopards in 2 days!!) and his kindness and care throughout the trip. He was just fantastic from start to finish.
Finally, every Accomodation and every meal we ate was high quality. We always felt safe, well looked after, clean and healthy throughout the trip due to the excellent service of all staff involved both from Apodiformes and the hotels and lodges chosen.
We cannot rate this trip any higher. Thank you for the memories that will last a lifetime!

A memory never to me forgotten…
About our African journey: it was a trip of our lifetime with three generations. My daughter and granddaughter and I chose REAL AFRICA TRAVEL and had the trip of our lifetime!!! We started with a Safari in the Masai Mara then proceeded to Siaya, Kissumu and Eldoret, where we have various Missions in place. Real Africa Travel booked us into the best hotels that I didn’t even know existed. Our driver Mike was tops and we all liked him so much. If we ever get a chance to go again it’ll be Mike we go with.!! I want to say many, many thanks to all of you at African Safari Travel Co., you exceeded our expectations in every way and made our trip most memorable. Carole

Much more than we dreamt of
Doing a safari was a dream since i was a kid and i was more than happy to finally be able to realize it with my 14 years old son. The animal observations were outstanding and more and closer than we ever dreamt of. Everything was organized in the best way, starting from water supply in the car up to regular breaks on long roads. Special thanks to the person, who made all this possible:
Thank you so much Alex for this wonderful trip to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara. Thanks to your excellent driving, your background as a vet and your very good german we had fantastic experiences. You are liked by other guides and staff in the camps and your relaxed attitude does not prevent you from having fun with your guests. Thank you also for making sure that everything went fine even after we left you for the next place. Kwa heri na tutaonana baadaye

Very helpful and keeps in touch
I did the: 6-day Big 5 budget tour.
Dosasha tours was very helpful in getting everything ready for my tour. After asking for a quote I got an almost immediate response and the most professional response of all the quotes I did. Furthermore as a backpacker I could leave my big backpack in their office, big plus.
As solo traveler I was placed in a combined safari group, which I really appreciated, we were with 6 travelers total. From this group I had the most affordable price. The day itinerary’s were the same across the board, the only difference was in the accommodations. All accommodations I stayed in were good and, according to me, even a bit above expectations.
There was however a small problem with an overbooking of one of the accommodations. However this fault lay with the accommodation and not with the tour operator, as more people of my tour group had the same issue. The problem was quickly solved in collaboration with our guide Peter (who was a great guide).
As a final note, they kept in touch with me via WhatsApp during the full safari to ask if everything was alright. Which is something I greatly appreciated.

Wonderful and Experienced staff - well planned itinerary
We had an exciting and well planned trip. Our guide was experienced and safely navigated the various routes and wildlife interactions. The staff were very courteous and great hospitality overall. As vegetarians our dietary needs were met reasonably well with.The Ngorongoro Mountain View Lodge was beautiful offering scenic views. The triple room we were in had a rug under the bed which was not gripping the floor surface, which may lead to accidental fall. Additionally, there was no phone in the room to call the staff in case of emergencies.
Fortunately, we saw all of the Big 5, an unforgettable experience for us, thanks to our wonderful guide Semle who was an excellent tracker, highly knowledgeable, and expert driver. We are highly content with the experience overall.

Amazing experience with a great team!!
Mike and his team made our trip a great experience and made sure we had the best time. They were very respectful, attentive and accommodating to our needs. The team spoke Spanish and they also taught us some words in Swahili. It was a great experience full of great memories. Recommend 100%.

Great experience
Everything was well taken care of and went smoothly. It was awe inspiring to see all the animals and observe their behavior in their natural environment. Our guide Ismail was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals, and we really appreciated his expertise. He had a lot of fascinating things to tell us all along the way. He was also very knowledgeable about where to find the animals and how to spot them. The lodging was very comfortable and pleasant, and the staff at each lodge were very welcoming. They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions for the meals. The Land Cruiser we rode in had extra cushions to make the seats very comfortable, plenty of drinking water, and even a charging station. Ismail drove in a very safe, careful way, which we very much appreciated. It was a fascinating trip. Overall, the value of the service provided was excellent, and we would recommend Savannah Explorers to others based on our experience. If we have a chance to return, we would be very happy to have Ismail as our guide again.

A well-run, reasonably priced and reliable tour operator
We took the accommodated Zimbabwe and Botswana "Game Tracker" tour with Sunway Safaris last month and were very pleased with the experience. Everything was extremely well organized. The days were long, but a free day at Victoria Falls in the middle of the tour allowed some respite. Our guides, Alois and Jonas, were efficient, well trained, intelligent, gracious, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the countries we visited and their wildlife. Jonas, who was the driver, did a wonderful job of navigating difficult roads over thousands of miles. In those places where we did not have a local guide (these were also good), Alois provided detailed explanations about what we saw.
Overnight accommodations were varied but always comfortable, most frequently in the form of large permanent tents/cabins with bathroom. Often the guides cooked for us, and helping with the dishes etc. created camaraderie among the tourists.
If you plan to take this tour, be aware that it involves very long drives over roads that are often potholed and sometimes unpaved. Our truck (the "Red Elephant") was reasonably comfortable but could be very bouncy in the back seats---luckily there were nine of us in a vehicle that seats twelve, so only one had to sit in back, and we took turns. Moreover, the air conditioning was not really adequate on sunny days, even though it was winter. That said, it is well worth while traveling overland to get some understanding of the geography (natural and human) of the countries visited.
We saw many different animals as well as other sights, were charmed by the local people, learned a great deal, and were well taken care of. We can recommend Sunways as an experienced and reliable tour operator.
