The tour operator, namely Latipher, was communicative and clear, responsive and flexible with the it
Great communication from the tour operator Latipher from the outset, then from the driver- guide after that. He was on time and drove safely (the only storey was that he seemed very tired by day 3 so we were talking to him a lot to help him keep awake - it's a LOT of long hours of driving). We always knew the day's plan, were never left not knowing what war going on, treated like valuable customers. The camping and tour in general was value for money but I traded one night in a big standard tent for a night in a mud- range luxury Lodge and was disappointed - the room was amazing but the Lodge had no views of the crater and we only had a late dinner and early breakfast there, whereas in the budget campsite we spent 3 meal times. It felt a bit short- changed and a huge amount of extra money for not that much extra. I wish I had stuck with the camping (except please bring ear plugs because some other campers in the tent near us were talking loudly and with offensive language until gone 11pm when most people were getting up at 5 or 6am the following day. )
Very reliable from the first communication and a great tour. Would definitely recommend.

Uganda & Rwanda: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey
One of the most emotional and unforgettable journeys of our lives.
The entire route, from Entebbe to Kigali, crossing breathtaking national parks, was a true roller coaster of emotions. Safari drives, trekking, nature walks, boat trips and cultural encounters — every single day brought a new surprise, something new to discover. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something else comes along and leaves you speechless.
What truly made this journey exceptional, however, was Osman, our guide, who accompanied us from day one until today, as we prepare to leave Africa. It is only right to highlight his many qualities: incredibly knowledgeable, always available, kind, friendly and, above all, deeply passionate about his work, nature and his country. If you have the chance to choose your guide, ask for him. He went above and beyond to show us as much wildlife as possible — we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five — and to make our journey as comfortable and enriching as possible. We arrived with a guide and we leave with a friend.
Congratulations to the Destination Jungle team for such a perfectly crafted itinerary.
An experience we will carry with us forever.

An amazing safari with lifetime memories
A group of us, three families, were going to safari in Tanzania and Zanjibar. Our trip was 5 days of safari and two days in all inclusive resort in zanzibar. Our "custom package" included everything (transportation, guide, food, hotels, and whatever else it may be). We had customized every aspect of our trip. Going from the US, we didn't know where to start. I sent emails to a few, about 10, highly rated companies on Tripadvisor and other websites. Only three companies responded. I sent follow up emails as I had more questions. Only Hadija at Avocet came back with desirable and detailed answers. I went back and forth multiple times to iron out minute details on hotels, type of safari jeeps, camps class and location, food inclusion and choices, guide info, and routes to name a few. Hadija always responded with promptly with detailed explanation. I really admired timely communication and descriptive communication.
Part of our deal, we were allocated three safari jeeps for three families. Our three drivers/guides, Michael, Waldon, and Ibrahim Bakari, were simply amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They were quite friendly and conversational. None of them smoked which was an added benefit. All three families felt quite comfortable and at ease with our guides. We waited till last day of our trip to tip them. We were so happy, we tipped twice the recommended amount.
We did have a hiccup with Avocet. One of our flights were canceled due to airline change of schedule and "no refund" was given. Avocet wanted to charge us for the new flights. After back and forth, they agree to "cover" cost of new flights.
Overall it was an amazing trip. We were apprehensive before going to Tanzania. But, Hadija's hand holding made our journey very comfortable and easy. We would definitely utilize Avocet if we go back to Tanzania.

Amazing experience
I had an amazing experience with Loise Adventures during my visit to Kenya before relocating to the USA. From the very beginning, everything was well organized and professionally handled.
The safari planning process was smooth and stress-free thanks to Lynn from Loise Adventures, who was very helpful, patient, and attentive to every detail. She made sure the itinerary matched exactly what I wanted and ensured everything was perfectly arranged.
Our tour guide, John, was absolutely exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very passionate about his work. He made the safari enjoyable, educational, and unforgettable. His understanding of wildlife, local culture, and the best spots made the entire experience truly special.
From the beautiful landscapes to the well-planned safari activities, everything exceeded my expectations. I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the trip.
I highly recommend Loise Adventures to anyone planning a safari or tour in Kenya. If you want a memorable, well-organized, and authentic experience, this is the team to trust. I would definitely choose them again.

Organization was impeccable. From the initial booking, communication was prompt and clear, all my q
My visit to Lalibela was an absolute highlight of my trip to Ethiopia. The famous rock-hewn churches completely exceeded all expectations.
A huge part of what made this experience so special was our guide. His knowledge was incredible; he didn't just recite facts but told captivating stories about the history, symbolism, and legends of each church. He was exceptionally attentive and caring throughout the entire tour—ensuring everyone was safe on the uneven paths, checking if we needed breaks, and answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm.

Responsive, attentive, accommodating
These four days will forever be etched in our memories.
We experienced an absolutely extraordinary adventure in the heart of Tanzania, discovering magnificent landscapes and breathtaking wildlife.
From Tarangire National Park, with its majestic scenery and encounters with elephants, to the mythical vastness of Serengeti National Park, every moment was wonderful.
We had the privilege of observing magnificent herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, eland, antelopes, and so many other animals, not forgetting the little ones, like the dik-diks, affectionately nicknamed "McDonald's" by the guides.
Majestic animals like lions, lionesses, cheetahs, leopards, rhinoceroses, ostriches, and more.
The Ngorongoro highlands offered us breathtaking panoramas, before the intense emotion felt in the Ngorongoro Crater, a true natural sanctuary where wildlife expresses itself in all its splendor.
We were incredibly lucky to see almost all the animals in their natural habitat. An immense privilege, which we fully appreciate, as each encounter was magical and precious.
We sincerely hope that everyone will one day have this same opportunity and experience this unique emotion.
If these four days were so magical, it is also—and above all—thanks to our guide, Sifaël.
Through his passion, his kindness, his impressive knowledge, and his deep love for this land, he transformed this trip into a truly human and authentic experience, far beyond a simple safari.

A wild, peaceful, and unforgettable safari experience.
Our 3-day Selous safari with Gecko Adventure Tanzania was an incredible adventure. Camping in the bush brought us close to nature in the most authentic way. We enjoyed a boat safari along the Rufiji River, spotting hippos, crocodiles and water birds as well as lots of other wildlife along the shores and bogs, and even tried sport fishing. Otto was really an excellent guide, he was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate. A wild, peaceful, and unforgettable safari experience.

The best provider for exploring the most beautiful place in the world
Our Masai Mara trip was perfect from the start! Communication and booking were quick, easy and very reliable. Compared to other providers, it was by far the best offer! The trip itself was simply perfect in every way, and we were well looked after during the car journeys. At the lodge where we stayed, all the staff were more than attentive, courteous and friendly. It had been recently renovated and everything was clean and in working order. Our driver gave us lots of interesting information about Kenya and the Masai Mara.
This was the second time I had travelled to the Masai Mara with Simba Paka and I will definitely book with them again.
