A great experience
We had an amazing experience thanks to a very professional tour company. We had a driver since we landed in Nairobi untill our flight back, and he was a marvelous guide. The hotels were very good and the general planning of the trip was perfect.

Absolutely spectacular!
Everything was perfect. We saw all of the animals I was hoping to see and much much more our guide, Leslie, spoke perfect English and was incredibly adept at spotting animals and getting us very close. He knew lots of litte facts about the animals that were great to hear on the trip. Moshi, our chef, created spectacular meals that I still remember fondly. Fantastic safari and I would absolutely recommend!!!

Amazing experience -- Galloping Safaris is the best option!
I highly recommend Galloping Safaris. I went to Tanzania with my wife for our honeymoon and everything worked perfect, just on time. Mazzatu, which was our guide, was very friendly and provide us a lot of information about the animals we were watching. The lodges were exceptionally comfortable, clean, and luxurious.
I would recommend Galloping safaris to everyone looking for a safari operator because of three main reasons: (i) the services are exceptional; (ii) it is not expensive considering the prices of other operators; and (iii) the people who manage this company are from Tanzania. This is not a foreign company.
I really enjoyed this experience and I hope other people can do the same.

wonderful experience during the holiday
we booked a 5 days Kenya safari via Khanga safari,and had a wonderful experience! Lawrence the coordinator was very professional,patient and cautious with our questions and provided the best price among all operators we had reached out to.Tom,our tour guide was always on time,friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals ,culture and parks.The jeep was in good shape and had no issue during the tour.
overall,we loved our holiday,the preparation as well as the coordination.We took so many photos and really enjoyed our time.thanks to Lawrence and Tom they are the best.
Overall we are happy with the trip
Overall we are happy with the trip, it was exactly what we wanted. The program was excellent, the accommodation first rate and logistics handled seamlessly. there was a small issue with the transfers between 2 towns, but it was sorted out very quickly as soon as we pointed it out.
Camping in samburu
Mobile tent camping in the wild of the Samburu game reserves was an experience that we could not have had if we were safely packed into a permanent tent on a platform in a significantly expensive accommodation. Learning to use a bush shower and toilet was fun and adventurous.
My Tanzania safaris
I travelled with my husband's parents, a total of 3of us, in October 2015. Our guide onema, drove us through Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater over 6 unforgettable, wonderful days. I don't know why people focus so much on The Big Five, but we saw those and so very much more! We were so glad to have a guide who has an eye for the critters because we would not have known what to watch for in looking for the less common animals and we might otherwise not have spotted them. Rukia has a good eye for places to stay. My all time favorite place was maramboi Tented camp and I was so sad to leave after only one night there. Everyone at every location except The Rhino Lodge was exceptionally attentive, showered us with personal attention, and bent over backwards to make our trip as rewarding as possible. The only thing I wish were different is that, although the food was good in the evenings at all of our locations (some better than others!), we were served African food only a couple of times, and instead served a solid interpretation of Western food. Morning was always Western foods which was nicely done but forgettable. The worse food was the box lunches. Some research should be put into packable food items and suggestion of variety. Although we were hoping for more authentic dining options, I am aware it would be difficult for them to accomodate the variety of dietary restrictions they are presented with and still remain authentic. So in summary, we weren't there for the food, thus the food didn't effect my "take away" from the experience. I loved this trip and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates nature, wildlife, and who wishes to preserve memories of these animals while they are still around. Helpful information for travelers: Because so many are involved in the upkeep of each place, many working in the background, tips are given at the time of departure from each hotel/tent camp, including tips for meals, housekeeping, etc, you leave it in a designated box and the owners (or someone) distributes the total to all of the working staff.

Madagascar Safari
organisation was excellent from the time we stepped off the plane in Johannesburg until we departed on our way home. Arrangements in Madagascar were everything that we could hope for with every little detail attended to by our wonderful tour guide,Anthony. This tour is more of an adventure trip and requires a certain amount of fitness but all aspects are adequately covered and at no time did we feel that we were not able to cope with the demands of the tour. Wildlife and scenery were spectacular and we were made to feel like family.
