Monkey Adventures: Reliable, highly professional and caring at fair price
From the very first email to the final drop-off, our safari with Monkey Adventures was simply outstanding. Fauziah replied to every email promptly, friendly and very professional.
Everything was so well-organized — from the itinerary to the lodge bookings — that we never had to worry about a thing.
We were picked up and dropped off right at our airport hotel. The safari vehicle (a Land Cruiser) was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped — there was even a fridge with plenty of cold water bottles and charging ports for our phones.
Our guide, Edwin, was absolutely fantastic! Extremely experienced, calm, and attentive, he made the safari both educational and relaxing. He was always checking in on our comfort and preferences, and thanks to his deep knowledge of wildlife and sharp eyes, we saw so many animals up close in both Amboseli and Tsavo East. On top of that, he’s an incredibly safe driver — we always felt secure, even on the rougher park roads. Truly, Edwin couldn’t have been better!
Monkey Adventures offers several lodge options depending on your budget, and the two we chose were both great — clean, comfortable, with delicious food and welcoming staff. But the absolute highlight was Satao Camp in Tsavo East. It’s an unfenced camp by a waterhole, so you have impalas, monkeys and other animals just roaming freely through the camp.
All in all, this safari was an unforgettable experience! Monkey Adventures is a truly reliable and professional tour operator, and we always felt safe and well taken care of throughout the journey.

Thoughtful, well-suggested itinerary following our wishes and with knowledgable input.
We really liked working with this company very much; the staff was attentive and wanted to fit in all that we wanted to see in the time we had, including suggestions for more sightseeing in areas we were not familiar with. We had never-to-be forgotten experiences with the Chimp and Gorilla trekking in Uganda, all the animals we encountered in the Serengeti in Tanzania, and the beautiful culture and beauty of Morocco. Pendo was always making sure we were taken care of throughout the trip, and we can't thank the guides and drivers enough who made sure we saw all that we could in these 3 countries..
That said, we would like to highlight the most amazing guides and drivers we had the pleasure of traveling with! They were easy to communicate with:
Uganda: Shamim (wonderful driver and guide!)
Ronnie (Swamp guide, monkey & chimp trekking)
Emmanuel Mpatswe (gorilla trekking)
Tanzania: DISMAS Mally!! He was GREAT!! Among other sightings, he got us to see the crossing of the Wildebeests and Zebra in record
time, 2 days in a row! He was very knowledgeable and sensitive to what we wanted to see.
Morocco: Aissam Charach, our FANTASTIC guide all the way through the cities we visited, and our driver, Ismail, also FANTASTIC!
They were wonderful to work with. Both were so attentive!

Safari in Tanzania
The trip to Tanzania with Gecko Adventure Tanzania was very well organized with an excellent mix of cultural and wildlife related activities. The lodge that were booked in were excellent relaxation spots with comfortable rooms and great food. Right from fantastic dinners and filling breakfasts. For lunch we had boxed picnic lunches which were okay. Our guide, Musa was fantastic, and he showed us more animals than we expected. He was also great with the local tribes as he knew the local languages.
I highly recommend this trip,

Moloko was the absolute best!
This tour is something every visitor to SA should consider. It’s well organized, the guides are wonderful and you get to see amazing animals in the wild. Specifically our guide, Moloko was nice, knowledgeable and could spot animals like an eagle! After lunch she told us she heard about a lion sighting far away and got us over there in time to see them. She really cared that we had a great experience she really came thru. It was an amazing day!!

Spectacular tour and staff
My family and I booked a tour with Africa Moja and it was truly amazing. There’s a bunch of different options to book which was flexible depending on budget. The itinerary was detailed we were given all the information needed in a PDF. Everyone was prompt, professional, and kind. Ben initially picked us up at our hotel and was super great. He told us a lot of information about South Africa while we were on our trip to Kruger. The hotel was decent, staff were friendly, about a 10 min drive to a Kruger entrance, gave us lunch when we arrived early afternoon. Our safaris were with Given who was spectacular. Our first afternoon safari we saw the big 5 thanks to Given. He is consistently chatting with other guides on where the animals are and took us to the action. Most of the time we were with other people on the safari but the car was not cramped, it was nice to meet others from different parts of the world. Two of us booked a last minute night safari and David and Given were super accommodating by promptly booking/coordinating the night tour for us (safari is given by a park ranger) - which i recommend doing a night safari if you get the chance.
Overall, truly a great experience and I would definitely book with Africa Moja again.

Amazing and so organised. Salehe made our trip so incredible!
Straight away from booking the communication from Lion King has been great. Lots of very useful information so that when we arrived it was all easy and we were prepared.
This was truly a trip of a life time. We travelled to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Seregngeti and Ngorongotlro crater. Our guide Salehe was brilliant, he made sure we always knew what was going on, he was very knowledgeable about all of the wildlife and we managed to see the Big 5!! He really made this trip for us, never rushing us and we got to see everything that we wanted.
I cannot fault anything on the tour the food, hotel, people have been excellent. I only wish it was longer!!! It was definitely worth the money!

Our guide Francis made the experience incredible as we imagined. Antonio makes you feel very welcome
The communication with Antonio was always smooth and clear by email. If anything, you can give a WhatsApp call too, he will answer.
Value for
Money was good, in our 3 days and a half we were always well sorted and looked after.
We booked with Antonio Safari as all his reviews are positive, his instagram page is packed with real safaris and after trying it ourselves, we can assure the tour is extremely reliable. They are very nice people.
The Safari has been amazing, we visited something different everyday ( lake navaisha, crescent island, hells gate, Masai Mara and the masaai village). The best day has been in Masai Mara national park where our guide Francis put his long experience in place and gave us the best sights ever. With him we have seen 2 black rhinos (very rare) and 2 cheetah (very rare), one leopard (rare) and many lions (one of them was eating his fresh prey! Super rare to spot! We’ve seen them mating too!) of course we have seen all the big five and more, even some rare birds. If you choose Antonio Safari, ask for Francis as your guide, you will be grateful!
