Thanks
It was a beautiful experience with lots of friendly people and great service. I am happy I booked wi
Straight from the beginning we were communicating well from the site and email, upon my arrival we were treated with smiling faces and I remember Mr. Richard greeting us with a smile and ushering us to the tour van. I enjoyed the tour and got to see the Kibale chimps. It was fantastic

A beautiful trip in Uganda with Matoke tours
My wife and i had a perfect trip with Matoke Tours in Uganda. We have been in different country's in Africa before but we were very surprised about Uganda. Our guide and driver Frank is very proud of his country and showed us all the beautiful wildlife and perfect accommodations. He brought us in contact with the local people.
The trips to the chimps and the gorilla's were unforgettable.
We will be back in Uganda (with Matoke Tours and Frank)

Tanzania Safari!
I enjoyed a well organized safari with Felix in the National Parks of Tanzania. He offers well equipped cars and camping gear and the staff is very friendly. We had a very nice journey without any troubles. I would recommend Felix as a travel agent for safaris in Tanzania!

Thank's for all your help during our stay in Kenya, you were so thoughtful, nice and dedicated. We felt so welcome and the safari was just wonderful. Excellent jeeps, sovereign drivers, thrilling accommodations and yummy food. We'll come back, just be sure about that. Bye from Hugo and Marina from Perth Western Australia.

The best you can ask for
We chose Savannah Explorers as our safari operator in Tanzania. That was a great decision in all aspects!!!
First, Roberto the manager is a nice man. He is very responsible and taking the whole thing seriously. From the beginning, he gave us a very detailed plan and quickly answered with all the information we needed. We could feel he is much more serious then few more safari operators we tried to talk with. The price was also better.
The Safari experience was magical!
We had a privet great guide named Mdoe that was also our driver. Mdoe was amazing, very kind and profesional, we saw many animals from all kinds thanks to him and he could answer any question. He was also a very good driver, we felt safe.
All the accommodation we were in were very good. Actually we were even surprise from the very good level and great service. Part of the time we slept in tents that were very beautifull inside with privet bathroom.
We can sum up and say that strongly recommend Savannah Explorers as safari operator.There was not even one bad thing to say about them.
Savannah Explorers is the best you could find, dont think twice!
And have fun in your safari!

ETrip gets ALL my Africa business - They are the BEST
Ben and Aurelie, Aurelie especially this time, put together a superb itinerary for me from start to finish for Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania (my second time there). ETrip knew me and my preferences from a previous trip in 2013 and did a terrific job of putting a smorgasbord of options from rafting the Nile to horsebackriding to gorilla and chimp tracking, and a return to do a longer camel ride with Mkuru Camel Safaris. Their guides speak excellent English, worked extremely hard to ensure that I got everything I paid for and that I enjoyed my trip. Alex, my Ugandan guide, took matters into his own hands when I got seriously ill and couldn't gorilla trek on the day I was scheduled. He worked diligently to make sure that I was able to go the next day- that's the kind of dedication that I truly appreciate.
Both Ben and Aurelie stay in very close touch during the planning process. One of the things I love about working with them is that they ask for a budget number and your days in country. They do their best to stay inside your number, but you also have to be realistic when you have desires, preferences and a lot of time to fill. I ask a lot of them and I also give a little when they send me their numbers back, and we end up with something I can't say no to. I also appreciate that they give me tipping guidelines so that I come prepared.
As for the tour itself, this was my fifth trip to Africa, so I'm no stranger to many of the challenges and issues of African travel. My expectations are very realistic, and I do a lot of reading in advance. Its important to balance what ETrip does for you with your own research and commitment to being open to new cultures and experiences so that when you run into bumps that inevitably happen, you aren't disappointed.
Aurelie was very open to my requests for less expensive places to stay, and also made sure I had a nice hotel waiting for me when I really needed one after a long time in the bush. There were times I think I can handle more time in a tent than I think I can and they plug in a nice place, and invariably I love them for putting me into a place with a fine bathroom and good food. They listen carefully, respond quickly, and after that it's up to us to make the most of our experiences.
This time I tracked gorillas, chimps and golden monkeys. I was also provided multiple opportunities to do village visits which were rich experiences in understanding the culture, language, and interaction of people/forests in the areas I visited. In some cases these ended up being as emotionally valuable as seeing the gorillas and chimps.
Visit a masai village for one day
Hi,
I had an inspiring and humbling time in a Masai village with my husband. We just returned from a conference in Nairobi and had one day to spare and ISIA took us to a masai village for a daytrip. We asked for something not very touristic, a bit out of the beaten track and that's what we got. We learned a huge amount of stuff from the village leader, we understood how they got food, made medicine, healed the wounded, avoid lions and things like that. It is such a wonderful experience to see these people living with so little, having to walk miles to get water, while at home we just waste so many liters just washing our teeth. This is something I recommend to everyone who has the opportunity to do it and change their perspective over life a little bit.
