Awesome safari!
We enjoyed our experience so much! We booked a tent, and it was perfect. Little hot, but we had a fan. The food was great, so was the wine! Our guides were more than awesome and very knowledgeable. It was way more than out expectations. A very special thanks to FJ, Johannes, aderto, thami and Dirk. ;)

Brilliant Safari with an excellent company
We did a 5 night 6 day safari and had a fantastic time. From start to finish Richard the owner was excellent , he was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome , he is a true gentleman. He even changed our flights for us while we were on our safari.
On our safari our guide Aron was very friendly and knowledgable. He spoke great English and nothing was too much trouble for him he did everything he could to make our experience special. The meals we had , cooked by Moussa , were also very good and we had plenty of food.
Overall we had an excellent Safari experience seeing everything we wanted to see and would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone.
Professional, Knowledable and friendly, adventure with peace of mind.
African Ubuntu Safaris is the most professional and friendly travel company I have dealt with, everything from the moment we first made contact with Cuan for a quote to receiving an email from him the day we returned home and everything in between, exceeded our expectations. We love Africa and all it has to offer and will certainly be traveling there again and look forward to dealing with Cuan and his team in the future. If i have to rate African Ubuntu Safaris service I would give it 10/10. I would highly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to anyone wishing to have an amazing adventure in Africa with complete peace of mind.

Fantastic Safari
With so many Safaris to choose from and so many operators to go with we are glad we chose Safarihub. The staff in London and Arusha did a great job for a brilliant Safari holiday. Recommended.

"Best Family Vacation Ever" as described by my two teens
We are a family of 4 - including two teenagers. Our 4-day camping safari with Tanzania Expeditions was fantastic from start to finish. Justin was super responsive by email as we made plans, and was helpful every step of the way. Our guide Hilary was knowledgeable, flexible, and did a great job of getting us to some wonderful sitings in Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater; and answered my endless questions about local culture. Dioniz, our cook, prepared beautiful meals at our campsites, and made sure that we all had something to enjoy. We wanted the trip to be a bit rugged - to keep it affordable and give us something to remember. Our two teenagers THANKED us at the end of the trip, saying it was the best family vacation we've done. Huge thanks to Justin and his team for making it wonderful!

adventure and thrill
Really, it's good tour operator, specially it's driver very guided and generate thrill within trip.
Lots of supportive operator and enjoyed nice Christmas holiday with safari masaimara.
Thx,
From January 11 to 18th 2015 for 8 days It was awesome.
I and my hubby just returned from an 8 days Kenyan Safari and I am very happy we booked with Alligator Adventures Tours and Safaris.
I read about the company on TA but the information was not enough so I was a bit nervous booking with a company that is so many miles away and having to send money through bank transfer.
Though they had initially asked for 40% deposit upon confirmation and the balance cash on arrival it came as a great relief when they finally accepted that I could send 20% and the balance cash on arrival.
Compared to what I was getting from other agents their cost was much much lower but the service was the same.
I can now say the service was beyond our expectation.
Meshack was very fast in responding to all our questions and was very patient with us in the whole process.
One thing I liked about him was the flexibility to be able to work with me until we finally agreed on the suitable itinerary.
We visitited Amboseli (AA Lodge) Lake Nakuru (Flamingo Hill Camp) Masai Mara (Basecamp Explorer –our favourite)and finally Lake Naivasha Sopa.
All accommodations were very nice and clean and the food was excellent but we loved our accommodation choice in the Mara which Meshack had recommended. Basecamp is an Eco -rated that is also supporting and empowering the local communities. Taking a shower under open skies was very special.
Our driver/guide Simon was very nice to us and very knowledgeable. He always took good care of us and we felt very safe with him.
I highly recommend Alligator Adventures Tours and Safaris for anyone looking for a Safari to Kenya and East Africa.

Perfection Realized
Viewpoint responded to our inquiries right away. Donna is very attentive and did more than expected to help us organize our adventure. We chose a private safari for 2. It was amazing. Having the pop top truck to ourselves enabled us to get the best views of everything along the way. Also, not worrying about holding up a group, and making our way to breakfast at our leisure was a plus.
Idi was our guide and teacher. He is the best of people, proud of Tanzania, and happy to share all it's wonders with you. It feels we acquired a lifetime of experience in less than two weeks. Exploring Arusha. Tarangire. Lake Manyara. Visiting a Masai boma. Exploring Mto wa Mbu with Abraham as our guide. Spending time with locals. Learning about banana beer and it's relevance in the culture. Meeting artists and artisans. Shopping. Driving the Countryside. Absorbing the Serengeti. Mbuzi Mawe tented camp. Unforgettable tastes and smells and an awakening of the senses. Lunching with Lions. Observing countless animal and plant life. The Sights. A walking tour of the Serengeti with a Park Ranger, and Nature Guide! Ngorongoro Caldera. The Views. Visiting a primary school and an orphanage. Appreciating how precious life is and how lucky we are. Feeling in the middle of your life that it's just beginning. Enjoying the beautiful and relaxed Zanzibar. Learning the history of and exploring Stone Town. Forging lifelong friendships. This truly is an adventure that may you may not better.

Our most exciting trip yet - made effortless thanks to Jonathon and his team at Encompass Africa.
Jonathon Wilson and his team at Encompass Africa really gave us our best trip yet. Initial telephone conversation with Jonathon was enough for us to choose this company. Jonathon was warm, informative and engaging - a pleasure to talk to and later to deal with. He advised us that Tanzania would suit all our requirements for what we wanted from a safari, and we truly loved every single minute. The whole trip was effortless from start to finish thanks to Jonathon and his team and we can't wait to book again! The whole process (about a year in the making) was exciting as Jonathon was always available to talk to and no question was too trivial to be answered. Look no further if you are considering travelling to any country in Africa as Encompass Africa are highly professional, highly knowledgeable and lots of fun!

We had a most wonderful individually and expertly guided nature tour in Uganda.
A magnificent trip took us to Uganda July 15 to July 29, 2014, expertly guided by Muhumuza Deogratius; Deo for short. We had intended to book our trip through a local Ugandan travel agent and were lucky to find Deo recommended on the www.birdingpal.org website. Deo responded to our inquiries immediately and to our satisfaction. He booked our travel route according to our wishes and the accommodations selected by him were all very pleasant, clean and located in beautiful and safe environments. Every detail of the planned itinerary in Uganda was provided as promised.
Being interested in nature, birds and anything else that flies and walks, Deo was the perfect guide for us. He could spot and name any bird just from hearing its song. He also showed us many mammals in the various diverse national parks of Uganda. As we had requested, he took us to the mountainous forest vegetation and animals therein, and with great patience let us enjoy nature at a relaxed pace of driving with many stops and observations on foot.
It was a pleasure for us to realize that Deo was very open to our special interest in insects. He was fascinated and eager to be introduced by us into the world of little critters that he had never paid attention to or seen close-up through a magnifying lens. Therefore, the marvel of learning and enjoying was reciprocal and made this trip one of the best of our many travels. And we are sure, by traveling with us Deo became a more broadly interested, and interesting nature guide.
For any visitor who wants to enjoy African nature Deo is the best and most dedicated guide that we can think of. We highly recommend him and wish that he will be able to guide many more nature-loving tourists through his beautiful homeland of Uganda, and thereby enhance the mutual understanding of the people in this world.
