Excellent Customer Service
I took my family on safari and we chose Viva Safaris to make our arrangements. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari and our accommodations. The staff was very professional and kind. Victor and Preti did an awesome job of making us feel welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for the good service.

3 days Nairobi city tour - safari Masai Mara sopa
Perfect time in Kenya. It was so interesting in Nairobi. Vincent did the best. But of course safari was the unique experience for us. Amos is a very good driver and an extraordinary guide, knows his stuff and loves it. He was also very flexible and attentive. The amount of animals we saw was beyond our expectations.
Thank you guys, I would definitely recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris, and especially Amos, to anyone!

An amazing experience thanks to Ker and Downey
My Husband and I usually book our own holidays but not knowing enough about travelling in Africa we thought we could use some help organizing our tour. We asked Ker and Downey to put together a tour, giving them an outline of what we wanted to see and do in a tight time frame. What Terri -Ann suggested and came up with was fantastic and just what we asked for. The accommodation was lovely, the transfers on time, the game watching terrific and everything was just perfect. With good email communication from Razaan, our personal concierge, they held our hands all they way, and we were so pleased we booked with them.

Amazing 3 day tour to the Maasai Mara Safari
We had an amazing 3 day tour to the Maasai Mara Safari. We couldn't start on time as our flight came in after the start time so we arranged with the company to pick us up from the airport and chase up to the group which was very handy :)
The ride to the Maasai Mara was an adventure in itself!! Navigating through pot holes, rough gravel roads, crossing rivers and going through local villages it was bumpy but a fun experience.
The campsite had a built in toilet at the back of each tent! We thought it was luxurious! Food was great!! One of the most tastiest egg omelettes i've had :) Dinner had a good variety too.
The safari was magnificent. We had an afternoon safari the day we got there and saw a lot of animals already, 3 out of the 5 Big Five animals; the lion, buffalo and elephant, as well as many other animals; the wildebeest, giraffe, gazelle, hippos, zebras, mongoose and antelope.
The next day we had a full day safari with a packed lunch. Our driver, Peter, was really good in the sense that he would introduce and explain the animals we spotted and also keep in contact via the 2 way radio with other drivers on where the animals were spotted and quickly race to catch it! Was exciting! and we caught the leopard which is rare at this time when we went (20-23 April)
We had the option the next day to do an early safari (or Game they call it) but we chose to sleep in because we already saw a lot of animals, we were just missing the rhino and a lion killing but we were very happy already :)

Uganda tour
We had a great overall trip and experience. We were very pleased with our drivers especially Big Sam. We enjoyed all the places we stayed and especially liked hearing the animals at night at our various lodges. Lake Mutanda lodge is incredibly beautiful and the food was excellent. Their internet was down while we were there but otherwise everything went well. We had great weather the whole time and loved spending time with the many animals including monkeys, chimps, lions, hippos and of course the mountain gorillas. They were so close and very gentle. I have nothing but great things to say about the people of Uganda who were warm and friendly. We also got to visit a Batwa orphanage where a child we sponsor is living. They performed for us a welcome dance with songs that was heart warming. Matoke tours did a fantastic job with everything on our itinerary. We were very busy and packed a lot into our short time in Uganda. I would recommend your tour company highly.

Unforgetable Nyiragongo
Thanks to Congo Discovery Safaris and Barack in person my long-held dream to climb Mt. Nyiragongo came true - and it was just fantastic. The hike with very friendly and good english speaking guides takes you within a few hours to different vegetation zones and a breathtaking landscape. Even if the way is steep: the first look around at the summit will make you forget every effort and the overnight stay surely is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The organization was perfect and everything was taken care of - beautiful accomodation in Gisenyi (Discover Rwanda), food shopping for the hike, trouble-free border crossing and visa, permit, transport to/from Congo. Just ask Barack and you will get your perfect personal programm!

memorable times with Summer tours
I would recommend Summer Tours and Travel for any one who wants a great African Experience. Myself and a small group of friends did a 3 days trip to Murchison falls. The tour its self was amazing. Prisca was so helpful and knowledgeable, with a personal touch throughout the trip. Summer has excellent services

A souvenir for life!
James was really available and helpful to answer our needs since the first contact. We could design our perfect safari with him and for a really good price. The whole service was answering all our expectations and we were really happy with the three days spent in Amboseli National Park. If I had the chance to come back to Kenya for more experiences like this one, I would definitely contact Alliance Destinations again. Be ready to enjoy a relaxed, well organized, flexible and amazing Safari with their team!

Amazing experience!
Michelle organised our safari to Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta (Botswana) in March 2017. We had a wonderful time, saw lots of game (including a leopard with two cubs, lions, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, hippos and lots more) and really enjoyed the experience. The accommodation, food and activities were all fantastic.
I was a little nervous about booking and paying for our trip online, but I had nothing to worry about… The trip was seamless, with everything going exactly to plan. Michelle was professional and helpful, and everything was organised easily via email.
I would definitely recommend Thorn Bush Safaris!

Far beyond expectations
We booked a budget 3 day safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Kombi Nation, as a side activity to our stay in Uganda. They were great during the booking process, as we knew nothing about what was available or even what we really wanted to do - they presented options and helped us work through them (with a lot of patience). The trip itself was well beyond what we expected for a budget tour, including the vehicle, accommodation, knowledge of the driver/guide, food and the wildlife experience.
