Antonio is a calm knowledgebale tour guide who always finds the best spots.
Our tour with antonio was amazing. We visited amboseli and tsavo west nationalparks and were amazed by the beauty of the nature. With antonio we always found some animals and saw from the classics like giraffes and zebras to lions and even a jaguar. Would highly recommend doing a safari here.

Our guide was knowledgeable, kind & helpful.
If you’re dreaming of an experience that blends awe-inspiring wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and exceptional hospitality, look no further than Tanzania Choice Safari—it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
From the moment we left, we were warmly welcomed by our guide, Leslie, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about conservation and the local culture. Both days, the game drive felt like a new discovery—lions lounging in the tree, elephants marching across the plains, giraffes grazing gracefully, and some close encounters with the monkeys during lunch. Leslie knew exactly where to go and always prioritized the animals’ well-being, which made the experience feel respectful and authentic.
The accommodations at Simba Lodge were stunning—luxurious yet perfectly blended with the natural surroundings. Falling asleep to the sounds of the wild and waking up to the soft glow of sunrise was surreal. The food was exceptional, with delicious local dishes and thoughtful touches like sunset snacks and fireside relaxing under the stars.
What really stood out was the heart behind the operation. The staff treated us like family, and we learned so much about the culture, history, and efforts to protect the land and animals for future generations. It was more than just a safari—it was an inspiring, soul-filling journey.
If you’re considering a safari, don’t wait. This one left me full of gratitude and peace and I am already dreaming of when we will do it again. Five stars, without hesitation

An unforgettable safari with great guide, but the logistics and accommodations should improve
The safari experience itself was amazing! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had the best possible wildlife encounters. Communication was smooth before and during the trip, and the team was always available to answer questions.
However, there were a few issues with logistics and accommodations. In the first lodge, our luggage was locked in a room, and no one could open it for about 12 hours, so we didn’t have access to our personal items. Also, in both accommodations the water pressure was very low, making showers difficult.
On the way to the airport, there weren’t enough seats in the van, so one person from our group had to sit on a bucket for the whole ride.
Despite these problems, the overall experience and the quality of the safari were great. If the operator improves the logistics and comfort details, this would be a perfect tour.

A highly professional agency that made our trip seamless and memorable.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this travel agency. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Midian, our trip coordinator, arranged the entire journey with great care — everything was safe, reliable, and managed with genuine responsibility.
Our guide Papa was another highlight of the trip. He accompanied us throughout, impressing us with his deep knowledge, friendly and enthusiastic nature, and incredibly sharp eyesight that helped us spot countless animals we might have otherwise missed. Papa is also remarkably strong and efficient, always handling tasks quickly and safely, which made us feel very secure along the way.
This was our first time visiting Africa, but it certainly won’t be our last. From the end of June to early July, the weather was pleasantly cool. We’ve heard that the great migration usually peaks around mid-July — a perfect reason to return. Throughout our travels, we could clearly see the benefits of a well-established tourism system, refined through many years of experience. It made everything run seamlessly and ensured highly professional, mature services.
We were also delighted by the quality of facilities and hospitality. The restrooms at attractions were generally very clean, the local food was delicious and full of character, and hotel staff everywhere were warm and welcoming. The hotels themselves were spacious, spotless, and offered excellent comfort.
All in all, it was a fantastic journey with many memorable moments. We are truly grateful for such a wonderful experience — thank you!

Very efficient and friendly to deal with.
What an amazing experience! Everything went perfectly. From booking a year in advance and all the follow up questions I had until our actual trip, Edison (owner) was wonderful to deal with and very speedy communication. When our tour started, Fred was our guide. Fred was a wonderful guide, everything from answering questions, to providing information. He made sure that we completed everything on our to do list. At the end of each day, he went over what the game plan was for the next day. The highlight of our trip was the gorilla trek, which we saw a very large family. The chip trek was equally as enjoyable. On the Akagera Driving safari, Fred did a great job finding and pointing out animals to us. Bamboo Ecotours offers a great variety of tour options and we were able to customize the tour a tad with changing up one of the hotels. All lodging and food provided on the tour exceeded our expectations. Planning with Bamboo Ecotours was easy and worry free. If we ever plan a trip an Uganda, we will definitely use you. Thank you Edison and Fred for a wonderful trip. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience.

Organization of tours and rides was great, contact was very responsive.
Moses was a great organizator and very responsive.
Most of the tour guides were amazing, kept us engaged and provided all the necessary information and answers to our questions.
The drivers took us to destined places and helped us get in touch with guides on site. Some minor challenges occured during our trips, like a missing seat in a van, not enough room for our suitcases, but together we managed to have a good time.
The accomodation during safari wasn't ideal, there were issues with water, but they made up for it by being very adjustable in hearing our requests (e.g. earlier breakfast, providing rides).
A great experience if you aren't travelling with an agency but still want to attend some guided tours around unknown land.

Unforgettable experience
A truly unforgettable experience. We managed to see practically all the animals even though we only stayed four days. The three parks we visited allowed us to see the various animals in completely different habitats, yet all three were wonderful. The food was delicious. The accommodations were also very beautiful. The one inside the Serengeti National Park, where we stayed for two nights, was truly enchanting.
Kelvin, the organizer, was very helpful and prompt with his responses even before departure. Ezechiel, the guide, made everything even more beautiful: kind, helpful, an incredible driver and a wonderful person, as well as extremely knowledgeable. Truly a magical experience that I would recommend to everyone.
Amazing 😻 they know what they are doing very professional always there for their clients satisfacti
I had the absolute pleasure of working with 261 EXP for my trip to Madagascar in May 2025, and I can confidently say it was one of the most enriching and seamless travel experiences I’ve ever had.
From the very beginning, the team at 261 EXP demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep local knowledge, and a genuine passion for showcasing the beauty and diversity of Madagascar. Every detail of the itinerary—from the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters to the handpicked accommodations and warm local guides—was curated with care and precision.
What truly stood out was their ability to balance adventure with comfort. Whether it was tracking lemurs in Andasibe, cruising along the Pangalanes Canal, or relaxing on the pristine beaches of Nosy Be, each moment felt thoughtfully crafted and deeply authentic.
261 EXP not only delivered a flawless trip, but they also helped me connect with the heart and soul of Madagascar. I can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to discover this incredible island in a meaningful and memorable way.
