Wildlife with Beauty
Kenya as a country is just beauty with beasts.
The wildlife is mind blowing for adults to kids.
The scenic view of Mt Kilimanjaro or beaches of Diani can't be expressed in words.
Hospitality was to an extent which no one would imagine.
One needs to visit to feel it.

Beautiful and very diverse scenery, amazing wildlife.
We visited Namibia in late October on a self-drive tour, wonderfully organized by Jangwa Tours. The scenery was breathtaking, very diverse, we saw lions, giraffes, elephants, hippopotamus, kudus, oryx, impalas and a number of other animals in their natural habitat. The people are very friendly, very clean everywhere, Amazing experience.

Tanzania isn't so much a vacation as a land of awe and wonderment!!
Our tour company was Williamson Adventures. I would very highly recommend them! The owner William and our driver Didas both went above and beyond to make sure that we were provided with the best experience possible. The different lodgings were all top notch. We were able to see the "big 5" which was one of our goals. The people of Tanzania in general were very hospitable, one person I still correspond with! As far as the different National Parks, I went to bed every night and joked to my wife that I was on "animal overload". So much to see and experience!

Extraordinary in terms of natural wildlife and scenic beauty
I've visited Masai Mara, Nakuru, Hells Gate, Naivasha and Amboselli and best safari experience I've had was in the first two (10/10, exceeded any expectations). Others were fun and Kilimanjaro is definitely worth seeing in Amboseli. Ukunda and the Indian ocean shores were fine, but not that unique as national parks. One thing worth mentioning when traveling to Kenya is that local people will desperately try to convince you to buy something or help them in some way. They are kind and friendly, but while visiting country and roaming in public areas expect constant attention.

Unforgettable Uganda with Lineage Gorilla Safaris
Our Surcos Tours group spent two amazing weeks in Uganda, made magical by Lineage Gorilla Safaris.
Their deep knowledge, heartfelt warmth, and flawless coordination made every day memorable. From comfortable vehicles to excellent hotels with delicious meals, every detail was cared for.
We not only enjoyed the beautiful sceneries and the national parks with their incredible animals and vegetation, but also went rhino, chimpanzee, and gorilla trekking. We greatly valued the interaction with the communities and the laughter of their loving children—experiences that deeply touched our hearts.
Chrispus, Derek, and Andrew, thanks to your passion and professionalism, you turned our dream adventure into a reality. Keep on going!
Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, enriching Ugandan journey!

Very professional
Our 7 day Safari was incredible from start to finish! We experienced amazing wildlife in the Mara, stunning flamingos in Nakuru, a peaceful boat ride in Naivasha and unforgettable elephant view in Ambroseli.
Grace made the whole trip seamless by answering every question patiently, helped us choose the perfect itinerary for our budget and ensure our accommodations and transfers were perfectly arranged. Throughout the safari, she checked in to make sure we were comfortable which made us feel truly taken care of

New Rwandan friends!
I started planning my trip with Emile. He was so accommodating as I had to change the usual way for the trip I took. He sent a driver for me who was excellent! Emile was so good at communicating with me through what’s app. He was patient , kind, informative, thourough, and professional. He chose Iris to drive me.
Iris was so easy to talk to. He had wonderful English and explained many things to me about his country. He was very knowledgeable and could answer all my questions. He was fun too! We laughed about things! After the golden monkeys trip he suggested I see the Dian Fossey Museum which was excellent. We also stopped at some small shops so I could pick up a few gifts for home.
I will definitely call Lion Safaris my next time to Rwanda!!

Incredible experience, thanks Chaz and Tito
I did a 5-day mid-range safari as a solo traveler, and it was an amazing experience. Everything was well organized from the moment I arrived at the airport until the moment I left. I always felt safe, looked after, and supported throughout the trip.
Before I arrived, I also received very helpful instructions about what to pack—like bringing warm clothes for early mornings, choosing the right colors, and having cash ready for tips. This made it much easier to prepare for the safari. It seems not all customers get this information, which is a shame, because it was truly useful.
The lodges were very comfortable and a great place to relax after long days of driving. We stayed two nights in lodges within national parks which was an incredible experience. The other two nights were at Suricata owned resort which is outside the parks but it’s so gorgeous and luxurious. During the safari our chef, Tito, cooked delicious meals every day, and it felt so special to have fresh food prepared just for us.
Our guide, Chaz, was one of the best parts of the safari. He worked really hard to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. Thanks to him, we were even lucky enough to see rhinos. He shared lots of interesting facts about the wildlife, along with personal stories that made the experience even more enjoyable.
Tanzania is a “pole pole” (slow and relaxed) country, so sometimes plans change or things can’t be explained in advance. But in the end, everything came together perfectly. I was also very impressed by how well the team managed all the logistics, especially with many tourists doing different routes, trip lengths, and staying in different types of accommodation. They always knew who needed to be where.
Overall, my safari was unforgettable, and I would recommend it to anyone. It was well planned, full of great moments, and made me feel completely safe as a solo traveler.

Zara Tanzania Adventures gave me us unforgettable, supportive, and truly top-tier experience
I traveled to Tanzania in early May to attempt the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro with Zara Tanzania Adventures, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were welcomed at Kilimanjaro airport by Juma, who drove us to Springlands Hotel, a clean and comfortable base with great beds and an excellent breakfast.
The climb was challenging but incredibly rewarding. October meant fewer crowds, and although the weather changed constantly—hot, cold, wet, and dry—it made the mountain scenery even more beautiful. We enjoyed stunning views every day, from dramatic valleys and ridges to sweeping clouds and occasional glimpses of the snow-covered summit.
The support from the Zara team was exceptional. As a vegan, I was impressed by the fresh, delicious meals prepared daily, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and hearty dishes that kept us energized. Our three guides—Yesse Lema, Jacksn, and Freddy—were outstanding. Their expertise, encouragement, and patience helped us through tough moments, including a challenging descent from the Lava Tower in heavy rain.
Zara Tanzania Adventures also provided top-class equipment, including sturdy tents, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and well-organized camps each night.
I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures for their excellent service, reliable gear, great food, and warm, professional support throughout this memorable adventure.
