An amazing experience
It was an amazing experience. Our guide (Joshua) was very knowledgeable and friendly. He always answered all our questions and was very expert about all the animals in the parks and their habits. He was also an excellent driver in the parks and a careful driver when traveling on normal roads. Our vehicle was also very good and never gave us any problem. The cost of this package was reasonable. The food and accommodation were not luxurious but still compatible with what we paid for. We started with the Masai Mara National Reserve and our experience there was incredible. Joshua was always connected to the radio and was very efficient in quickly moving to the locations where interesting animals were reported. The boat ride on Lake Nakuru was also extremely interesting. Amboseli National Park was also very nice although it could not compete with the Masai Mara in terms of variety of large animals and the game drive was much less eventful. However, we were able to see a huge herd of elephants, about a hundred. Also, with Kilimanjaro in the background, the views were really impressive. The last day was mainly dedicated to taking some of our group to the border with Tanzania, and then taking us back to Nairobi in the early afternoon: for this reason, the last game drive was rather short.

Superlative organization and experienced guide
the Safari organized by Savannah is truly organized down to the smallest details, nothing is left to chance, the accommodation facilities are of a high standard. the food, cleanliness, comfort and friendliness at the Marera view and the kifaru tented lodge are truly exceptional and make you fully enjoy your holiday. our guide Thomas led us on a breathtaking safari, introducing us to the heart of Tanzania with its animals and its territory. the experience of more than 15 years in guiding Safaris can be seen and felt, and in an experience of this type it is an essential characteristic. Thomas did his utmost to try to make us see the greatest number of animals, leaving us time to enjoy the view and to take photographs both real and in our memories. as Thomas says, in the serengeti what you will see not only washes your eyes, but above all washes your heart. thank you very much. Asante Sana

The best experience possible
Everything went smoothly since the moment I asked for a quote on the website. Barack responded almost immediately and his emails were always very sincere. I asked a lot of question about the tour and payment and everything was explained to my satisfaction... sometimes even before I managed to ask.
My trip to Akagera National Park started exactly on time, as we agreed. I was picked up at my hotel in Kigali and I enjoyed the drive to the park with a stop for breakfast at the nice lodge. My guides Lydia and Gerard (I am very sorry if I messed up your name) even taught me a few words in kinyarwanda, and I do remember them until today, so they have really done a wonderful job. The morning was rainy, but the weather was gradually improving and we managed to see a lot... lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, a lot of antilpes and monkeys. We crossed the whole park from the south to the north and back. I am really glad I also joined the boat trip where we have seen hippos, crocodiles and hundreds of bird species. We had a great conversation during the day and I have learned a lot about animals and Rwanda. On the way back to Kigali they were so nice, that we stop at couple of stores for me to buy coffee.
This was definitely one of the best experiences I ever had. Rwanda is really worth a visit and the people there are soooo nice. I strongly recommend Expedition Rwindi Voyage, the whole team is very professional and lovely.

The essence of Ethiopia "erved" with caring approach, support for all you need and a positve vibe :)
We (I was a member of a group of 13 ) had a magnificent Timket experience, inspiring Gondar and Bahir Dar deep dive with the must see sightseeing + out of the beaten truck visits to enjoy local gourmet, fun dancing in a bar and everything else the cities had to offer:).
For the 3 days with "Essence of Ethiopia Tours" I felt greatly treated and well supported with information, overall assistance and all this accompanied by positve vibe and personal attitude :).

The only way to see Africa's wildlife and enjoy its friendly culture!
As I was excitedly telling a friend I was going on an African Safari in January, a woman overheard me and told me she goes to Africa yearly. She warned me I was making a mistake by going during the rainy season and said I wouldn’t see any wildlife. Her advice couldn’t have been more wrong!
Visiting Botswana Central Kalahari Reserve and the Magkadigkadi Salt Flats with David Shaw (Lead Photographer) and Sam Mopalo (Owner of Early Kingfisher Safari) was filled with incredible wildlife experiences! Sam, an accomplished naturalist who grew up and lives in Botswana, knows the wildlife in this area like the back of his hand. He can spot a lion, leopard, or any African beast from afar with his naked eye. It took the rest of us binoculars and the directions given by Sam and David to find it. The magic was getting close to this wildlife, close enough to photograph it. Sam’s tracking skills are beyond comparable. We were almost the only vehicle following the wildlife for days and never shared a viewing opportunity with anyone else.
David and Sam made a great “tag team.” What one missed or didn’t know, the other did. David, the avid and excellent photographer, ensured we had the best angle for the best shot, although Sam often nailed it before he said a word. And I came away with some remarkable photos, my favorites being those of the lions interacting with one another. I never guessed they could be as affectionate as a house cat!
Sleeping in tents with our every whim taken care of by Sam’s crew kept us close to the action. It was easy to be up early to photograph wildlife while it was still actively enjoying the cool morning light. While we rested in the shade of the sun during the middle of the day, we were back at it until sundown.
It was the best mobile safari camp experience possible. Sleeping in the bush, with everything we needed brought in—lights, food, warm and cold water, and shelter—the night rewarded us with a dark sky filled with stars that looked close enough to touch. The sounds of wildlife rocked us to sleep and gently woke us in the morning.
During the trip, we also spent a few nights in comfortable lodges with excellent food and hospitality. Still, the best food was cooked over an open flame or baked buried with coals underground. Sam’s cooks were the best; their tasty flavors for various grains and vegetables heightened the rest of the meal.
David and Sam’s cheerful, friendly personalities brought the rest of us into the fold, and we all became friends with stories to tell for the rest of our lives.

Living, breathing, planet
A privilege to be in the Eden of Africa (the Ngorongoro crater), in a nomadic camp staying inside the Serengeti park!, the proximity to a breathing, dying, breeding, living planet, with so many animals, birds, trees, flowers. Before even further mass tourism, go!
