Great experience
Our first safari trip and we were glad we chose Aardwolf Africa. Esther was friendly and helpful. Our driver/guide/friend Paul, experienced, helpful and of course friendly, made us feel very welcomed and made the effort to show us as many of the wonderful creatures and sights as we "demanded" ; ) Even entertained us with a few Kenyan songs. Nice, clean and problem free land cruiser.

Amazing experience in and around the Maasai Mara
Transtrek Safaris are simply unforgettable. Daniel was fantastic at making sure for our 4 day 3 night safari complimented the rest of our time in Kenya (for example we were already going to visit Lake Naivasha). Our guide Tony was extremely knowledgable and enabled us to have a wildlife experience beyond our dreams. The leopards we saw just made you speechless. We had really great accomodation and were welcomed everywhere with extremely comfortable tents (if you can really call them that, with ensuite's, flushing toilets and wooden floors!) and were very well fed. We would particularly recommend the Mara Naboisho conservancy, which with its strict entrance policy and work with the local Maasi was a very personalised experience. We particularly like the Wilderness Camp as were felt even closer to nature and enjoyed the small nature of the set up. Thank you so much for so many amazing memories in only 4 days.

Tanzania safari good, but...
I booked a 4 days safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Right Choice.
On the day of the departure, I discovered:
1 The tour was to Tarangire and not Lake Manyara.
2 I had to travel with "Meru Slopes" and not with Right Choice.
3 The other travellers of my safari booked directly with Meru Slopes and had free pick up at the airport, hotel included...
So, if you travel in Tanzania, book with Meru Slopes directly!

A definite " bucket lister" but do it long before you are about to kick it- fabulous and physical
The logistics and organization needed for this amazing ride across remote Damaraland to the Skeleton Coast boggles the mind -but Andrew and his team make it look effortless . Every detail is thought of for the comfort of horse and rider. Fun, fellowship,good food and those incredible long gallops across extraordinary landscapes- nothing more needed to make this an experience of a lifetime.

First class adventures arranged by Let's Go Travel!
Everything about our experience with Let's Go Travel was great, from the arrangements to the drivers who accompanied us, and of course the Gorilla's were a once in a lifetime experience we will never forget.

Highly Recommended
Gorilla Bookings was a genuine five-star adventure - if you want to see gorillas in Uganda, this operator is definitely the way to go. My driver Ben's professionalism was impeccable and he really went the extra mile to make sure I had a fantastic experience.

Unique, off the beaten track and staggeringly beautiful
I work for a UK tour operator and have been on most of the riding safaris in Africa. This Damaraland Elephant Safari stood out as one of the highlights of any trip I've been on in the last 11 years of working in the industry. The team looking after us were superb, Andrew our guide was excellent and the horses were responsive and good fun to ride. We didn't see a lot of wildlife (although that's not what you come for), but the scenery is stunning. So diverse and changed dramatically everyday. Another particular highlight was sleeping under the stars every night - watching shooting stars and gazing at the full moon from bed is unforgettable.

Great experience with Bella Africa Safaris!
After a lot of e-mail contact with the office of Bella, finally we had a wonderfull time with our two guides: Donna and Richard.
Everything we liked to be arranged was possible. They picked us from the airport and the next day we drove to Tororo. We visited the place where our daughter during 4 months had done her internship at the hospital and the hospice of Tororo. It was great to get the opportunity to see this place.
The next days we had a wonderfull safaritrip to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls for a game drive, a boat safari and a hike to the top of the Murchison falls.
Then we drove to Kibale Forest Camp. The next morning we did a chimpansee track in the rain forest and an afternoon swamp walk.
The day after we hit the road again for an African massage (the african roads are different as we are used to). The following destination was Queen Elizabeth National Park. We did a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel, where we spotted a lot of animals. Next day we enjoyed an early morning game drive. The afternoon we stayed at our Bush lodge to relax and we where surprised by seeing lots of elephants in our front yard.
Our final safaritrip was at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where we hiked to see a Mountain Gorilla Family. Also this was an unforgettable experience.
We stopped at Lake Mburo to see some zebra's and ended our trip in Entebbe.
Our guides told us very many things about Uganda, nature and the animals, fantastic!
We were very happy to have Richard and Donna as our drivers/guides. We were also happy with the stay in different Lodges Bella booked for us.
We recommend Bella Africa Safaris to everyone!

Awesome trip to the Mara.
I had an awesome experience with the company. The driver was very professional yet very friendly. We got everything as promised and they were always on time for our pick up. My husband and I would definitely recommend them for anyone going to a Kenyan Safari.

Roberto the best!!!
So ... we organized our Wedding Trip with Roberto ..... and we could not have been more lucky !! I'll explain it from the beginning !! We were looking for a local agency so we could save, but we were organizing our honeymoon trip to Africa so it was hard to be able to trust !! We read many reviews from various agencies, but they did not allow to tailor the journey according to their own ideas !! Then one day we read about Savannah Explorers and it was tough because this review was perfect, but Savannah Explorers did not find anything on TripAdvisor (in fact my advice is to sign up) !!! In short, we contacted the agency and found out an absurd availability !! Roberto not only responded to over 30 emails but also called me by telephone to give me every detail! And so it was: the trip we customized us by choosing the lodges we most liked among many !! Obviously it is important to also stay at their advice because being in the place know what is best and what not !!! All the holiday (North Parks + Zanzibar) were organized to perfection without giving anything to chance !! A great thanks to our guide Jamesy who with his experience has been able to see us all: lions (more than 50), leopards, cheetahs, lion cubs, migration gnu through Mara River and also rhinoceros (very rare) .... .and then all the rest that Savana can offer you !!! Not forgetting 3 lioness horses !!! Roberto also organized the Night Safari (experience you can not miss) !! Last tip .... do not miss the camped tent camps Ang'Ata Camp .... the night at 2 there were gnu and gazelle in front of the tent entrance with hyenas at 20 meters !!! Thanks Roberto and thanks to all the staff and I hope to reorganize something together soon !!!
