Owner Bernard, a reliable person to book your safaris in East Africa
Hello, have been in Kenya already several times, period between 2005 - 2013 - mostly January/February, first acclimatize a few days at Diani Beach and visit Gichmak to book my safari - wherever you want to go - Gichmak makes your tour to either Kenya-Tanzania or Rwanda unforgettable - if you are with a small group of people - you get your private car - even for 2 or 3 people - you can discuss and make your own decision about the lodges you want to stay. Really booked all my safaris in the years I have been in Kenya with Gichmak - Shimba Hills - Tsavo East - Lake Nakuru - Mount Kenya - Masai Mara - Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater - the last one with guide John - will never forget him, a great guy - service meets expectations - have seen big five in Masai Mara and partly the migration of the wilde beast. Beside the Gichmak safaris - I could easily book a flight and resort in Zanzibar for a couple of days. Bernard is for me a friendly and honest man - what ever trip in East Africa you want to do - he make you dream come true - visit him at Diani road.

Obsolutely fantastic
Having travelled to many parts of the world, Africa was probably one on the most memorable. From the greeting at the airport to the tour guides, from the hotels and accommodation to the food I was pleasantly surprised. The manners, service, and general knowledge shown was impressive.

A smooth, fluid and unforgettable experience
I first contacted Deo with a few questions and options for a Safari itinerary that matched my family’s schedule and specific interests. I soon received a detailed and personalized itinerary that met all our expectations. We contacted additional references who highly recommended this small local company and we were set on our Earthlife safari. Communication leading up to the trip was professional and timely and payment went smoothly. Soon we were in Tanzania and our safari began. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable on everything from culture to the amazing wildlife we saw in all of the parks. The accommodations were more than suitable; many had amazing views of the landscapes and good local food. Deo and the people at Earthlife ensured that everything was taken care of and we were able to fully enjoy our safari!

Uganda truly is the 'Pearl of Africa'
Africa Adventure Safaris provided a wonderful tour of Uganda. Our guides Robert and Cris took excellent care of us and were very knowledgable; we learned a lot from both of them. The gorilla trekking experience was amazing and well worth the difficult hike. We were very satisfied with the accommodations and the food was fantastic! While we had already been on safari in Kenya in 2013, this experience allowed us to see many new things that we did not see in Kenya. The boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel allowed us to get closer to hippos and crocodiles which was very exciting. Uganda is a beautiful country and we are so happy we chose Africa Adventure Safaris. I would recommend this company and tour to anyone who wants a comprehensive, first rate tour of Uganda!

Our first time in South Africa, what a great experience!
We booked our 24 day self-drive tour with Tailor Made Safari’s.
A few weeks before departure we received our self- drive pack, including a GPS and wonderful travel guide book, written specifically for our itinerary.
Our whole tour consisted of highlights, but our favourites where our stay at Leopard Mountain Lodge and Tembe Elephant Park. And we really enjoyed our first guided drive through the iSimangaliso Wetland Park with a great guide and lunch at the beach.
But our visit to the Drakensberg and the whale watching at St Lucia was also superb!
We saw lots of animals, but we have not seen the leopard from the Big 5, a good reason to go back again!
It’s likely we are going to book another tour with Tailor Made Safari’s. We would recommend this tour operator to anyone, everything was perfectly organised. We have experienced the booking process to be very convenient and personal, especially the personal visit by one of their representatives whilst staying in St Lucia
Overall a fantastic holiday!

Absolutely great 3 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
After few days in Zanzibar we decided to book a 3 days in Serengeti and Ngorongora. We chose Bestday Safaris among the long list of agencies and we made the very good choice!
Peter was quick to answer our emails and provided all the infomation we asked. Once arrived in Arusha, he meet us at our hotel to discuss with us the latest details in order to make the trip the more confortable for us (we were 6, 2 adults and 4 kids)
The driver was very friendly and spoke a very good french. He even known the french name of every birds we saw in the parks! The hotels in Serengeti and Ngorongora were just perfect! Far more comfortable than we expected. Everything was great during these 3 days!
We definitively recommend this safari agency.

Fantastic guide for a technical climb up Mt. Kenya (Batian)
I used Archtrek Safaris as a guide up Mt. Kenya. James was a pleasure to work and converse with and my technical guide Joseph was excellent. He was trained by NOLS and is on Kenya's search and rescue team. He knew his stuff and made good decisions even when a bad storm rolled in and we had to do an emergency descent. The food was excellent and they were really flexible in arranging my itinerary and logistics.
Excellent communication. Dependable. Trustworthy.
My daughter and I traveled to Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls. Our trip was short, 1 night . We used Falcon to book our hotel room and our transfers to and from the airport.
Our room at the Victoria Falls Hotel was beautiful and exactly what we had asked Falcon for.
The driver was waiting for at the airport on arrival and again at the hotel exactly when they said they would be there.
Communication with John at Falcon before our trip was excellent and made us feel very confident about everything we had asked for.
I would definitely use Falcon Safaris again if I returned to Zimbabwe.

Great time, good service, good prices
We are very happy to have choosen with Meru Treks in Tanzania.
The company and Ibrahim, the manager, are very reliable. They have organized our safari (5 days in Serengeti, Tarangire and the crater) and our Kili Trek (5 days trek on the Marangu Road) in a few days, just before doing those trips…
So we could book everything in Arusha and that was very very much cheaper than doing it from home.
The service was great and the guides (Olé for the safari and Julius for Kili) were perfect !
After a few talks with different agencies, we could bargain the price with Ibrahim and he was ready to do it.
It's note the most luxurious agency… it's simple, comfortable, reliable and not so expensive
Enjoy !

Perfect organization and great safaris
Many thanks to Kathi at African Welcome Safaris for planning a wonderful two-lodge safari in Kruger: great accommodation (Thorny Bush River Lodge and Narina Lodge at Lion Sands) and spectacular animal sightings. A very special holiday that allowed us to sit back and enjoy the experience as everything had been looked after to perfection.
