Brilliant Safari
The safari was really fantastic. Our guide Godson was very knowledgeable and guided us to all places, animals and places of action. He also was a safe driver and very willing to do his best to do whatever we were asking for.
Our group of 7 people was as put together from bookings of different operators. Do I ended up in different lodges that the others. I didn’t know this before and found it a bit strange. So better check before.
Everything else was really perfect!!!

Perfect family experience
Amazing in every way for our family of four with kids aged 14 and 11. Petra setup a wonderful 10 days in Namibia at great locations with everything taken care of. She was also wonderful adjusting things to meet our needs.
Our guide, Lownan, was fabulous. We could not have asked for a better experience as he showed us all the main sites and the sides of Namibia most tourists never see. 5 stars for Petra. 5 stars for Lownan. 5 stars for Nature Travel Namibia.

Great time
We had a wonderful experience on the safari. Pavilion Safaris made fantastic arrangements for us, especially Peter and our guide. There are no words to describe their punctuality and the quality of the accommodations. Additionally, I have to mention that mobile phone coverage was fantastic in all the parks.

An An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya!
When booking a trip to Africa the most important thing you can do is to make sure you have booked the absolute best Safari tour company and I believe we did exactly that!
Safari Update Travels gave us a journey that was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Even before we began our journey, the manager, Silas was available for all my questions. He helped us with packing essentials, vaccines, and he even checked on us throughout our booking - even made sure to check on us when we arrived back to our home. Silas, thank you so much for everything!
From the moment we landed in Kenya, everything was thoughtfully organized and flawlessly executed. The team made sure every detail was perfect, and their hospitality was second to none.
The package we selected included travel starting from Amboseli Park, to lake Naivasha, then to Lake Nakuru, and we finished off our trip at Masia Mara Park. Lake Naivasha even included a private boat ride to get up close and personal with the hippos and a ride over to crescent island where we got to walk the whole island with giraffes, zebras, impalas, wildebeest and even saw python nest!!!!!
Our accommodations were a mixture of hotels and tented camps. They were comfortable, clean, and close proximity to the parks. The food we ate was absolutely delicious. Enough variety for every one! The unbeatable views of the African landscape plus waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunrise near Kilimanjaro is something we’ll never forget.
We had the pleasure of having two guides throughout of booking, Francis and Kennedy both men were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, but also passionate and engaging—making every game drive feel like a true adventure. We saw the Big Five (plus so much more!), including breathtaking moments with lions, elephants, and even a rare sighting of a leopard!!
This trip exceeded all of our expectations, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, look no further than safari Update Travels —they will make your dream trip a reality!

A truly amazing experience
David our driver/guide went above and beyond. We were able to see all the big animals we were hoping to see, while also seeing and learning about ones we didn't know existed!
Peter organised the Safari very well, with every hotel and activity all sorted for us, so we could just enjoy the experience.
There was a lot packed into the 7 days, so we'd say we more than got our monies worth :)

Family safari chobe and vic falls
The trip was amazing and really well organised for us by African Fairytale Tours.
Jonathan at African Fairytale Tours communicated with us excellently and always kept us up to date and was very accommodating for our requirements and potential changes. Jonathan ensured everything ran smoothly and was on time. His colleague Ivy also communicated well on email.
The experiences suggested and booked and timings of the game drives, walk around Victoria falls, river cruises, rice safari in Chobe and the helicopter ride were all timed perfectly.
Everything ran on time and was professional.
The guides were amazing.
The accommodation was good and suited us as a family really well.

In Love with.. Tanzania
I booked my Safari with Issa of Destiny Explorer, who found a solution for all my requests. I choosed the Serengeti for a very special moment of my life: the engagement with my girlfirend under an unforgettable sunset. Tarimo, our driver and guide, was very calm and gave us a lot of information about wildlife during the safari. We felt safe all the time during the safari. I suggest this agency for the professionality of its staff and the organization of the trip.

An incredible experience with a small downside
Our 7-day adventure was truly unforgettable, featuring waterfalls, ponds, lakes, a safari, a hot air balloon ride, and even flights and boat trips. The highlights of our safari included Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti, which were absolutely breathtaking.
Benson Safaris did a fantastic job organizing the entire trip and making sure everything went smoothly. A special thanks to Zablon, our tour guide, who was more than just a guide—he was an adventure partner! He was kind, attentive, and instrumental in ensuring we saw the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. We celebrated together, shared meals, and enjoyed beers under the African sky. It was a fantastic experience, and Zablon played a huge role in making it special.
The only downside was the flight from Serengeti (Seronera airstrip) to Zanzibar. Despite our early planning and multiple communications well in advance, the flight tickets were purchased too close to the departure date. As a result, we had to take three separate flights on the same day, instead of the direct flight we had hoped for. This added unnecessary stress and made our journey to Zanzibar more tiring than expected. We essentially lost almost an entire day in transit, which was frustrating, especially after such an exciting safari.
But all in all, it was an incredible trip. The minor flight issue didn’t overshadow the incredible experiences we had. Highly recommend Benson Safaris for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania!

The company as a whole was very good, but Casper was great.
My wife and I booked three days of tours and activities with Fuhara. With everything going on there were several chances for things to go wrong, but the company as a whole was always responsive and very easy to work with. That being said we were lucky enough to spend most of our trip with one employee in particular named Casper. He was very kind, professional, caring young man who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. If you book with Fuhara and get the chance to interact with Casper consider yourself lucky.
