Fantastic!
From the moment I arrived at the Airport I felt welcomed by my guide Ayelew. We explored the beautiful churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia. Ayelew, gave great descriptions of the history of the location, building of the churches, and answered all of my questions. He was great with taking my photos to capture memories. I highly recommend visiting Lalibela with Ayelew as your guide!

Excellent private safari with great value for money and unforgettable wildlife moments
Before choosing Enkarewa, we contacted several safari operators in Kenya. We finally decided on Enkarewa because of their friendly and personal approach, the clarity in communication, and the excellent value for money they offered from the very beginning.
The communication prior to the trip was very smooth and in Spanish, which we really appreciated as we are not fluent in English. They were honest, attentive to our tight budget, and never tried to push unnecessary extras. On the contrary, they focused on making sure we enjoyed the experience. They even upgraded one of our accommodations compared to the initial budget option.
We did a 3-night safari (2 nights in Masai Mara and 1 in Naivasha). We were picked up early in Nairobi and already did our first game drive that same afternoon. The owner of the company, Nelly, was very kind and attentive — she personally came on the first day to introduce herself and present our guide, which gave us a lot of confidence.
We chose a van to reduce costs. It had a pop-up roof, but we would recommend choosing a jeep if the budget allows it, as it provides better access to more challenging roads, especially when leaving the main tracks. The van had a fridge, but it was not prepared for use and we did not use it, and the USB charging ports were not working, which was disappointing after full days of safari taking photos (fortunately, we had power banks). Overall, the vehicle could have been in better condition.
The safari was private (just the two of us as a couple) and conducted in Spanish. It was comfortable for us, although we believe that paying extra for a Spanish-speaking guide is not essential if you have a basic level of English, as there is not constant conversation during the safari.
Our guide was Brian. There was a small initial misunderstanding regarding pick-up times, as we discussed it with the owner instead of directly with him, which created a slightly uncomfortable moment. Aside from this, he explained the animals and surroundings well and showed great dedication in tracking wildlife, especially lions, which were the animals we were most excited to see. He made a huge effort to reach them, even when road conditions were difficult.
We saw the Big Five, as well as cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants, lions and lionesses, some of them very close. We also witnessed very raw and authentic moments, such as animals next to their recently killed prey or feeding on it.
One of the most special moments of the entire safari was witnessing a lion and a lioness mating, completely alone, with no other vehicles around. It was an intimate, natural and respectful scene, truly unique and absolutely unforgettable.
Overall, the experience was excellent and very well organized. We give it a 9/10, only deducting one point due to the initial misunderstanding and the condition of the vehicle, which could be improved. Despite this, we would definitely repeat with Enkarewa Luxury Safaris and highly recommend them.

Great and responsive company with excellent itinerary
We were very happy with the program Big Apes Africa was able to put together for our five-day trip to Rwanda and Uganda. They were responsive and easy to talk with when looking at different pricing options and itineraries, and were able to put together a package that made us very comfortable in choosing Big Apes Africa instead of other operators.
The trip itself went smoothly, as our guide met us at the airport in Kigali, was friendly and knowledgeable, and went with us for the duration of the trip. Big Apes Africa had to provide us with different bookings than in the original quote due to availability issues, but we felt that they handled the issue well and were able to find alternatives that were just as good or better than the original places.
Over five days we visited a cultural village, saw golden monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees, and went on game drives and a boat trip. The program was varied, and we couldn't be more satisfied. As we spent a lot of time on the road, I think the only thing I missed in the itinerary was an estimate for transport times.
All in all I can absolutely recommend Big Apes Africa!

Amazingly Efficient Tour Operator in Arusha
A mesmerising experience with Pooja Tours. They organised a wonderful safari for us for 5 Days.
Kudos to Hitesh for his constant guidance and support throughout The Trip.
We were lucky to see all Big 5 in Tarangire, Ndutu and Serengeti. The driver was efficient to the hilt and the vehicle was fully fit.
We faced flooding roads but our Driver handled it very smoothly.
Last but not the least, his charges were very very reasonable and very cheap compared to other operations.
Strongly recommended for overall satisfaction.

Wonderful trip
The early online communication of Kale voyage is very timely and smooth. Even if there is a time difference, Oscar is also very efficient to solve the problem for us. The important thing is that the price of Safari is also reasonable, which is very cost-effective among the same kind. The whole Safari made me very unforgettable. Thanks to our guide Festo, he was very experienced and took us to find many animals, and the explanation was also very detailed. Overall, it was a very unforgettable trip.
