It was an amazing holiday.
I found Paul website on safari bookings and they have received nothing but five star rating. This is deserved rating. Everything was really well organised from start to finish. Gave really good advice on our first trip to Africa. This was our honeymoon and it was a holiday I will never forget. The safari lodge, ikuka was a big part of this (recommend to me by Paul). Ikuka lodge was quite simply the best place I have ever stay. I can't recommend the place enough.

Good operator
Jockytours helped me organize a lodge safari to Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara. The price was very competetive. We liked our guide: he was very knowledgable and professional. Everything was organized according to the program we had approved beforehand. The only drawback is the quality of the minivan that could have been in a better state.

Highly Reccomended, Great Guide/Driver, Great Experience
We had a four day/three night Safari including Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Inpenitrible Forest and Lion Tracking along with the standard drive and boat ride. It was extraordinary. We were several feet from a family of Mountain Gorillas, including a small baby and mother, a Silverback and a teenage boy who demanded our attention. We were in their home and we were honored to be there. We were twenty feet (in a van this time) from lions. Our entire experience was wonderful. Our driver/guide David was knowledgeable, friendly and creative in figuring out how to make our experience even better.

Superb service from Cardboard Box
Extremely efficient.Could not have asked for more. We really gave Anita the runaround when changing bookings en route and she came out tops! The information we received was much more than we expected and came as a surprise

I will come back in Southern Africa with Biwakwango
We contacted Thierry at Biwakwango in order to organize for our family (2 parents and our 2 youngest children a 2 weeks trip in South Africa.
The target was to have a first impresssion of this beautiful country, choosing small strutures along the way.
We did a clockwise trip starting at Kruger Park then Swaziland, Thonga Beach, Drakensberg and finishing by Cape Town.
Our teenagers were enthusiastic (and it is not so easy !) especially by the Rhino walking trials experience in the Kruger Park. We saw the big 5, Ugly 5 and more than expected.
All lodges chosen were very good (and not too big).
Thank you very much Thierry.

“Fantastic, Amazing, Brilliant!”
Where do I begin to explain just how fantastic African Scenic Safaris are. From start to finish they excelled in making our trip an experience of a lifetime. I am glad I did not use a third party agency, went with my instincts and booked direct.
Amanda who help create/organise our spectacular trip was faultless. Always quick to reply to my questions and queries. Knowing the right type of places to stay and which parks would best suit our time in Africa. She was kind and so helpful. Amanda helped with our accommodation before the trip began and also helped organise the magical hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. We chose a 4 night, 5 day trip in Tanzania which included Tarangire NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, staying in a mix of luxury camping and lodges. Thank you Amanda for all of your help. The safari car which we spent so much time in was comfortable and clean. With plenty of space. Binoculars were also available in the car which was a handy added bonus. Bottled water was also provided. A very special thank you goes to our guide for the duration of our trip. David was by far the most knowledgeable, funny, charismatic guide we have ever met. There wasn't much he didn't know. A font of knowledge on all things flora and fauna. He always wore a wonderful smile even on the very early mornings. We expected a lot on our trip armed with a long list of animals we wanted to see and David always delivered. We got to see the big 5 which we felt may be impossible but not with David on the lookout. He knew where to look and always had interesting insights about what we had found. Forget about the Superb Starling it’s all about the Superb David! If you plan to book your safari through the company I would strongly suggest you ask for David to be your guide. He made our trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend African Scenic Safaris for your trip.

Great safari! I highly recommend this company.
We are back from a fantastic ten-day safari visiting Taranguire, Manyara, Serengeti (both, Seronera and Mara regions) and Ngorongroro. Beatrice was excellent and helped us planning the itinerary and selecting the accommodation, which was all very good. She always responded very quickly with precise information. Our guide, Adrian, was marvellous. He is an encyclopaedia of knowledge about fauna and flora (he could tell you the name of a bird from far and then show it to you in his book), and also about culture, history, geography and whatever you want to know about Eastern Africa where he has travelled extensively. He made sure that we all had a great time, which included being super patient and accommodating with our seven-year-old son. We drove in a quite new eight-seat Toyota Land Cruiser just for us which was very comfortable and worked impeccably throughout the trip. Everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great holiday. I definitely recommend Easy Travel.
Accommodation: we had a mix of hotels and tented camps. Personally, we liked the latter best because they allowed you to be in the middle of bush. They were super comfortable and safe (despite wild animals grazing all around).
Season: we travelled in late August/early September, which is the dry season. Serengeti is quite dry and looks brown, but still full of animals (somehow more concentrated around waterholes). Going north (to the Mara region) is the best to see the migration. At this time of the year roads are dusty, but the temperature is very pleasant and there are very few mosquitos or flies. We were in these four national parks about a decade ago in February, and it was greener but also much warmer and with mosquitos.

Phacochère
We wanted to do the southern parks to be away from mass tourism and a tour that is affordable for a family. And with Grassroots we did a very good choice. Micky arranged our 9 day trip as we wanted it, he is well experienced and mailed us without delay. We had a very safe driver with an outstanding knowledge of wildlife, good English and a perfect "picture hunter". We saw the big five (besides the rhinos, they are only in the north), lots of birds and lots of other animals. Our accommodations were all comfortable, even the one night in a tent. We loved Hippo Camp; sleeping by the sound of hippos snorting in the river is something unforgettable. Our cook was the best. He prepared the most delicious meals.
