Seeing Gorillas in Uganda with Encounter Africa
I had an excellent trip with Encounter Africa to see gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable forest. They provided an excellent guide for the trip (I traveled alone), all transportation, and booked my hotels and gorilla tracking permits. The costs were reasonable and they were flexible, polite and responsive. I would recommend them.

Great personal service
We used Compass Odyssey to arrange a trip to Chobe and Victoria Falls after we had been visiting Capetown for two weeks in March. From the initial enquiry we had a phone call from Darren on a Sunday morning to discuss (a great surprise as we aren't used to such an approach to follow up an enquiry so quickly) and over a period of weeks worked out the best plan for ourselves with him (he showed great patience andgave us the advice we needed to make a good choice). The choice of accommodation and safaris was great and we ended up with an excellent safari guide (Brave) who drove the 4x4 and the boat for the evening safari cruise. Mortimer, who Compass use as a guide in Victoria Falls came to pick us up from Chobe and got us through the immigration process, helped to organise some additional activities, took us around, and was our guide visiting the falls. He and his family members we met were very friendly and we enjoyed their company. A very good personal service, and extremely good communication. I would recommend to any friends or family wanting to organise trips around southern Africa.

Kenya Migration!!
To be able to witness The Great Migration in Masai Mara was always on my list, and I was finally able to tick it off last year in August. Active Holiday did great right from the word go! The accommodation was great, and the entire trip execution was seamless. Looking forward to another Active Holiday in the future.
Highly Recommend
We booked our safari through East Cape Tours, who provided excellent service, managing to fit in our dates by swapping us between lodges and the free transfer from Port Elizabeth was an unexpected - and reliable - bonus.

Unforgettable safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha National Park
My friends and I went on our first safari adventure with Takims Holidays recently and it was absolutely amazing. We had amazing encounters with wildlife and the accommodation recommended by Takims Holidays was perfect. We also had a great guide who was able to answer all our questions about the wildlife and local ecosystem. Although all the parks were amazing, I was surprised that Arusha national park was so quiet being so close to the city and for that it stood out as being the hidden gem for us.

Zane Posthumus: great support /communucations
I had the unfortunate event of serious back injury just 3 weeks before the trip. The on-line rep, Zane Posthumus, was very sympathetic and helpful / accommodating when rearranging the trip. She assured that pick-up/drop-off to and from Sabi Sand of my fellow traveler, who spoke no English and traveling alone, would be on-point without any confusion. He had no trouble getting there and had the time of a lifetime! Thank you, Zane!

Wonderful Safari at a reasonable price
Overall, we were quite pleased with our safari experience and with Swift Travel and Tour Management. Peter was very responsive to all of our questions prior to our trip, and we enjoyed our guide and driver, Bedan. The Safari camps where we stayed were lovely, and the flow of our trip worked well. There were some slight adaptations to our itinerary, and nothing too huge. I would use Swift Travel again, and recommend others to utilize them for a great safari at a reasonable price.

“Great Tour Company, thrilling gorilla trekking in the mist in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest”
I and my friends were overwhelmed by the exhilarating tour to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Under Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd, we went to Trek the gentle giant - the mountain Gorilla - we were professionally handled by our tour guide Joseph Olupot who was friendly and helpful. The Gorilla Trekking was well organised and the park rangers were magnificent. Should you desire to have a great experience while on holiday, consider Uganda and Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd.

Review about Ruaha National Park by Sergej Osipov
Ruaha was probably the most splendid park we have spent time in. Beautiful Baobab valley on the way there and hundreds of elephants inside the park along with all other kind of wild life did make a huge impression.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Sergej Osipov
We have stopped in Mikumi 2 times on our way to/from Ruaha. It is a beautiful park, we probably encountered a little bit less of the wildlife than in other parks, but this could be due to seasonal changes and animal movement.
