Trustworthy tour operator who listens to what you need and provides the right solution!
We made a last minute decision to go to Masai Mara and were lucky to be provided a reference to for Misach Narboth who runs Filao Adventures. Within a few hours he put together an itinerary that included travel to & fro from Nairobi in a Land Cruiser, accommodation in Masai Mara, park entry, all meals and water for the trip. Above all he paired us with a driver/ guide who was a Mara native with deep understanding of the animals and landscape. We saw Lions, Leopards, a Cheetah, Giraffes, Zebras, Wildebeests, Elephants, a Rhino, Hippos. Great job Misach - thanks!

The most unforgettable trip!
Hands down, one of the best tour operators to work with! Nsavi safaris was absolutely fantastic - they were organized, personalized, and incredibly friendly!
I had a work trip to Kampala and had always dreamed of seeing gorillas and chimpanzees in the wild. I only had 4 days to do an excursion (within Uganda) and learned of the trip without much time to prepare. My family also wanted to join. I emailed many tour operators and learned the hard truth about how difficult it was to secure permits on such short notice and travel between multiple parts of the country. Sarah from Nsavi Safaris was different - she responded extremely quickly, learned of what requirements our group would need, understood our budget, and quickly turned around an itinerary that completely encompassed what we had hoped! We loved the promptness of her communication via email and WhatsApp and her professionalism in crafting itineraries, building a customized website, and walking us through an international payment. She is very well connected with UWA and was a huge help in getting us permits! But do book in advance if you can!!
We did a 4 day adventure - flying in the morning on a small plane from Kampala to get to Kibale for the chimps, driving to Queen Elizabeth National Park to get to Bwindi, then trekking through Bwindi followed by a next day morning flight back to Kampala. We got all of the highlights, stayed in very comfortable guest lodges/camps, and had an incredible experience seeing wildlife. Jasper, our guide, was there throughout the trip - he was very excited to share his experiences with us, chat with us about Ugandan culture, stop at the side of the road so we could take photos of the views, and even stopped for a mini-unplanned game drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park. I also had the chance to get lunch with Sarah and chat about her business. She and Jasper also helped me pack a souvenir, which was above and beyond what I expected a tour operator to help with.
Thank you Sarah, Jasper, and the rest of the team at Nsavi for an unforgettable experience! I was extremely happy to support a female-run small business that exceeded my expectations! We highly recommend others to book with Nsavi!!

It's a wonderful tour with detailed plan and considerate care.
I arrived at Kilimanjaro airport one day before the start day. The driver who picked me up named Eben. He was kind and patient, and he taught me many things in Moshi town with patience. Later, I met Mr Wang. He is a gentleman with politeness and wisdom. Mr Wang and Mrs Wang prerared a hearty dinner with delicious pizza, toast pork and fresh fruit for me. We sat around the campfire and shared our life experience. I was impressed by their attitude towards life and I regarded them as philosophers. During the second day , Mrs Wang, who had caught a heavy cold, got up very early to make breakfast for me. I was very moved. Then I came to the airport to pick up my friends. The driver Walter is an enthusiastic and optimistic man. He told me that "pole, pole" means 'slow, slow' and 'hakuna matata' means 'nothing to worry'. I was enlightened by him when he said" If God wants us to worry about the future, he will bring us eyes with a future sight; but all we can see is the things in front of us. So we have to live and enjoy at the moment. " Our Safari began at 8.23. Our first destination was Natron Lake. We saw a lot of flamingos with pink feather. Luckily, we witness the beautiful sunset and sunrise nearby Lake Natron. We arrived at northern Serengeti on the second day and took a brief break at the Yoyo hotel. We got up before the sunrise to see the crossing of wildebeast. Our guide Venance adviced us to spend the third day waiting for the crossing and thanks to his experience and intution, we finally witnessed the great crossing. It was a remarkable scene
and we saw the cruel face of mother nature. There were at least 200 thousand wildebeast waiting for crossing the river. Under the water lay several crocodiles waiting for their hunt. I really love this tour and next time when I decide to climb the kilimanjaro mountain I will definitely choose West Wild.

Magnificent
The guide was prompt, enthusiastic and impressively knowledgeable about the animals and their habitat. He responded to all questions and went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable throughout the day. He gave us the best chance to experience a lion kill even with all the commotion around that. I would definitely recommend the operator especially to those who are really keen to learn about these animals

Extremely Knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring we saw as much animals possible!
From the very start, everything about our safari experience was absolutely amazing. Gideon, who handled all of our bookings, was incredibly responsive and professional. He made sure that every detail, from arrival and departure airport transfers, to coordinating with the hotel for a birthday suprise cake for my husband and the safari itinerary, was handled smoothly. Our drivers were always on time, polite, and safe, and the vehicles were spotless and comfortable.
Once the safari began, we were in the best hands with our guide, Walter. He made the experience enjoyable, and his deep knowledge of the parks and wildlife made our experience enjoyable. Walter made it his mission to ensure we saw everything possible, and he delivered! Not only did we see the Big Five, but we also saw servals, giraffes in abundance, elephants, ostriches, flamingos, buffalo, warthogs, a pack of hyenas with a pup, hippos, a bat-eared fox, several species of vultures, and endless herds of zebras and wildebeests. Watching the wildebeests attempt to cross the border (again and again!) was a sight we’ll never forget.
Our journey took us through Tarangire National Park, the Central and Northern Serengeti, and ended with the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where we were lucky enough to see two rhinos in the distance. All the camps we stayed at were great and better than what we envisioned and the food was amazing. We visited the Masai village, which was rather enlightening and educational. Each location had its own magic, and Walter always went above and beyond to make sure we had the best views and photo opportunities. His passion for wildlife and dedication to giving us an unforgettable trip really shone through.
A few takeaways: if you are staying at Ngorongoro Crater, take a jacket; it gets cold regardless of the season; take hand sanitizer and a rag, it will come in handy, as dust is unavoidable; be prepared for locals wanting to sell you their crafts, which is common throughout Africa and Asia - do not be afraid to negotiate.
Overall, I have been on safaris in Kruger and Chobe, but this one was without question the very best. From the seamless planning with Gideon to the expert guiding from Walter, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this team to anyone considering a safari, you will not be disappointed!

The service was very warm and welcoming, and every aspect exceeded my expectations.
This is our first time in Africa, and our first experience with a safari. African Accent Adventure made this an incredibly wonderful and unforgettable African safari journey for us.
Our driver was extremely warm, outgoing and highly professional, with rich experience. Throughout the trip, he helped us spot many amazing animals, allowing us to capture countless wonderful moments. Even before this trip came to an end, we had already planned to book our next trip to Tanzania with them.

Amazing 4 day safari experience
We booked the 4 Day Kruger Park and Panorama Route adventure safari (however we were easily able to swap the panorama route for 2x Full Day safari drives which we were grateful for as we wanted more safari time). The tour was amazing from start to finish - the accommodation was very nice, all modes of transport were comfortable, the included meals at the lodge were delicious (breakfast and dinner every day), all staff were lovely, and it all felt very organised and safe. The communication with Wayne throughout the booking process was also fantastic. If we return to South Africa in future, we will definitely be booking through the Kruger Safari Co again.

Amazing Experience
Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club made booking an adventure of a lifetime effortless. From the initial contact, they were very responsive and helpful in creating an amazing trip. They created a beautifully detailed itinerary with pictures and expectation for each day. We were a party of 4 and booked a 8 day luxury safari including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti national Park with a balloon ride over the Serengeti and a day hike at Kilimanjaro. We were met at the airport and taken to our first hotel by our kind driver “Safari”. At the hotel we were warmly greeted by Aenea ,the sales director. He gave us information what to expect, including who our guide would be and answered all of the questions we had.
Justin was our guide and driver for the entirety of the safari. When he introduced himself, he said: “You are now family” and that is truly how we were made to feel. Justin made every effort to make us comfortable and to get the most out of our game drives. Always collaborating with colleagues and fellow guides to ensure that we saw the all the animals. He even tweaked our itinerary a bit to ensure we had optimal time at each park. There is a lot of time spent driving to the camps and lodges, and we always felt safe with Justin behind the wheel. If your safari doesn’t include a balloon ride, be sure to add it! Soaring peacefully above the Serengeti gives the most spectacular views. The balloon ride concluded with Champagne and a the most delicious breakfast. KASC partnered with Serengeti balloons for this unforgettable experience.
Our Safari ended with a day hike at Kilimanjaro. Julius was our hiking guide for the day. The views of Mt. Kilimanjaro were breathtaking and inspired my daughter and son in law to set a goal of returning one day to summit the mountain. All of the accommodations were beautiful and exceeded all our expectations! The only regret I have, is that we didn’t get to stay longer!
I highly recommend booking your experience of a lifetime with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club you won't regret it!
