Simply the best and even better
A good trip starts with the great booking experience. I know we were not the easiest costumers as we had far too many requests and modification requirements and individual preferences, but all these were not only taken into account but for every e-mail and whatsup message we got a reply within 1/2 hour but often within minutes. The payment procedure was also simple and easy.
On our midnight arrival at Addis Ababa airport we were greeted by our driver and transferred to our hotel. The real adventure started the following morning when Yhun the company’s manager joined us and became our guide for the entire Omo Valley tour. What an experience! We decided to skip the domestic flights and the journey was done with their comfortable minibus (or rather midibus), more than enough space for 3. Before reaching the tribes of the Omo Valley region we had a stop in Hawassa and also in Arba Minch, at both places we stayed in the Haile Resorts. Great properties, completely up to European standards. Once you reach the Valley one can feel that he/she is part of a time travel while visiting beautiful people and their villages. The accommodation options are simple, but the cleanliness is never compromised, also we always had great breakfast, 24 hr electricity and wi-fi. It is almost impossible to explain how mesmerizing it is to meet the various tribes and see how they live their everyday life. Been to 162 countries, this is among the top travel experiences. Our guide Yhun was the most professional, he shared with us lots of stories, information, but never too much. He has a great ability to sense his guests wishes and intentions and he can immediately react on them and accommodate any ad hoc requests. In extra we got a great introduction to Ethiopian jazz and several times we were surprised with delicious fruits, honey sweet banana, mango.
The whole journey went exactly as it was described in the accepted itinerary, only minor modifications needed because of the circumstances. E.g we swapped programs within the day. We got what we paid for and much more, a professional tour, a safe journey, loads of laughs and great conversations, I should also mention our driver, who navigated us safely through the sometimes challenging roads. (Never seen so many cattle and goats crossing the roads) 😂. Ethiopia is great country it should be proud of its heritage and it offers a wonderful time to its visitors. Would return anytime and would recommend Liyu Ethiopia Tours to everyone who looks for a safe, well organized, rich and fun experience.

Unforgettable Gorilla & Chimpanzee Tour – A Life-Changing Experience!
Our 5-day, 4-night tour with Gorilla Tours was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Moses, who was truly exceptional. He was the perfect guide—extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful throughout the journey. His passion for wildlife and deep understanding of the region made the experience even more special.
The highlights of the tour were, of course, seeing the chimpanzees and gorillas up close. Words can’t describe how breathtaking and humbling it was to witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. It was truly a life-changing experience!
I would highly recommend Gorilla Tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable wildlife adventure. Everything was well-organised, and the team went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. I would 100% do it again—thank you for an unforgettable trip!
If you’re thinking about booking—do it! You won’t regret it.

Intense but great memories !
We loved our 7-day safari tour from Nairobi to Mombasa, discovering the many animals in Kenya's largest game reserves. The program was quite intense, with the aim of seeing as much as possible, and the roads were not always pleasant, but the richness of the landscapes made it all worthwhile.
Our great guide Nicholas informed us about the way of life of the animals and the customs of the local populations, teaching us a few expressions in Swahili. He gave us a taste of Kenyan street food along the way. He was always ready to suggest ways of improving the program. He gave us good advice throughout our vacation in Kenya.
We are very happy to have been only my partner and I in the car, with the guide, for an experience as close as possible to our desires, all for great value for money.
Thank you for this wonderful experience !!!

The Absolute Best of Safari organizer!
If you come across this review it's possibly because you are trying to find your way around the infinite number of offers on the subject. Please read this through because Roko Safaris allowed us to live truly the most incredible experience.
We did ourselves our fair share of research and in the end decided for an 8days hiking and safari tour with Roko.
We didn't know what to expect but what we did really blew our minds and we are so grateful we did it. The first six days of hiking are truly magnificent, you want meet other tourists where you go because Roko will bring you in a quite remote area where you'll be able to see how and where the masaai families live and have lived for the past centuries. For many of the kids you'll be the first tourists they see. The different landscapes we passed in those days where hard to believe how beautiful and immaculate they were. Camping, hiking time, food and rest we'll be tailored perfectly by Roko and his team according to your needs and he'll make all the adjustments to make you happy and as comfortable as possible. The last two days you'll be joining the big tourism of serengeti and ngorongoro, they are a must see of tanzania and the number of animals we spotted in 48hours was phenomenal thanks to Roko tracking skills. I personally think we couldn't be luckier. Thanks Roko, thanks Miranda, it was a real blast, we'll never forget it.

More Than Advertised!
Thanks to Apodiformes and our guide, Dickson, we had an incredible time. Dickson was sensitive to all of our concerns, questions, and desires. He anticipated our needs and was both personal and professional. We always felt safe and well cared for. He was also an expert at finding animals for us to see and photograph. Our hotels were first-rate, the service was terrific, and the flexibility of the private safari made the trip very enjoyable. We saw a diverse and multitude of animals, including both the big and ugly five. We cannot recommend Apodiformes enough. This was the trip of a lifetime!

Unforgettable Family Safari with Friendship Safari Experience & Nelson!
Our family had the adventure of a lifetime with Friendship Safari Experience, and our guide and driver, Nelson, made it truly unforgettable! From the moment we met him, his warmth, expertise, and passion for Tanzania’s wildlife shone through.
Thanks to Nelson’s incredible spotting skills, we saw the Big Five, a cheetah cubs from a 2 fit away, and a breathtaking elephant encounter. His smooth driving and deep knowledge made every moment special. The lodges and camps were excellent, with great food and stunning views.
If you’re planning a family safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Friendship Safari Experience—and if you get Nelson as your guide, you’re in for a truly magical journey!

Amazing Experience
We loved Big Mama Safari. The communication was excellent, every additional request we had was accommodated, and the safari experience was amazong. We got paired with an amazing guide who was knowledgable, and made sure we get to see as many animals as possible! I would definitely recommend this and would book with Big Mama Safari again if I ever come back!

Excellent organisation
It's the 4th time I spend at The Better Inn, the hostel attached to the Company, and again I am perfectly happy with the service they provide.
Normally the company offers private hand tailored Safaris, but due to the length of my planned safari and my budget I decided to go for a joined safari and luckily Amos, the owner, could organise one for me.
It was a 4 days camping and balloon safari and Amos did all the bookings, like the balloon company, the camps, but also transfer and pick up.
During my stay he would regularly check up on me if everything was good and I had a good time.
And I did have the best time of my life and enjoyed the safari to the fullest 🙏

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Vibrant Holiday Safaris!
Everything was perfectly organized, from the first contact to the end of our journey. Their team was extremely professional, attentive to every detail, and always available to ensure we had an unforgettable experience in Uganda.
A major plus was the help they provided even before the trip – they assisted us with visa applications, making the entire process much easier and stress-free. On top of that, the price-quality ratio was excellent, with services that far exceeded our expectations.
The safari itself was perfectly planned, and our guide was exceptional – highly knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to share interesting insights about the wildlife and local culture. The accommodations were comfortable and well-located, allowing us to fully enjoy Uganda’s breathtaking landscapes.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vibrant Holiday Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and worry-free safari experience. We will definitely be back!

A perfect trip
I am blown away by Golden Rwanda Safaris. From the moment I first contacted them the service and professionalism were amazing. I initially was going to do Rwanda only, then decided I wanted to include Kenya. Frank created a perfect custom itinerary for what I wanted. Throughout the process, Frank always responded quickly and answered any questions. All of the accommodations in Rwanda and Kenya were excellent. Throughout the trip things were adjusted and customized to exactly what I wanted. Tafeque, my guide in Rwanda, was fantastic. In Kenya, I was with a partner company, African Hartebeest, and the service was just as good. Beverly was my point of contact with them. She was just as helpful and responsive as Frank. My guide in Kenya, Edwin, was also phenomenal. I will surely be back at some point in the coming years and have already recommended to friends and families to use Golden Rwanda.
