Excellent half-day shoebill trip
We had a wonderful time with Patrick on our half-day shoebill tour. It was a well organised trip and the highlight of course was to catch the elusive shoebill in all its glory alongside other birdlife. Communication with Patience over email was excellent and very prompt, which we really appreciated. Payment was also easy. Highly recommended if you have some time to spend in Entebbe.

Outstanding team for a most memorable experience
I did a joint safari and there are some things that made porcupine outstanding against the other operators:
I was provided with some extra items such a binoculars (extremely valuable) and also, they checked in with me every second day if everything is well.
I felt extremely well taken care of during the entire experience: from the planning through the journey and also afterwards, the communication was quick, honest and they would rather suggest feasible options than promising anything and say later, that things might not be possible. (Which happened to other people in the group.)
What you have to know about joint safaris: you join with clients from other tour operators, so they might adapt the itenary slightly. I had the luck to not only have an amazing group, but have one of the most experienced guides and a very ambitious chef.
The guide Ismail Chalamila knows many Lions in Serengeti by their marks, knows the family relations and most important: where to find them. We saw about 6 times lions catching food and plenty of more with their cups. Ismail is not average but is extremely knowledgeable about all the species living in the northern circuit and he just loves nature and their creatures.
The Chef Eric provided us with breakfast and two warm meals per day and produced a perfect mix of local, traditional and fusion kitchen.
So all together this was a most memorable and outstanding experience, thanks to porcupine and the experienced team in the field. They even prepared a birthday surprise for me :)
Some tips: if you book camping, make sure to bring a torch or headlight and maybe a cotton sleeping back as you will be provided with sleeping backs and mattresses on the camp site.
Bring a jumper or so, as nights may be cold. Refrain from blue and black color clothes as the tsetse fly is attracted to that.

Amazing
Shannon from Indigo was amazing.
Nothing was too much trouble. As we had not been to Africa before she gave us different options and stepped us thru all the way. Itinerary was detailed with all contact numbers. Very easy and comfortable to deal with. We had an amazing stay and loved every moment of it.

A tour operator with a top guide, but areas for improvement in communication and organization.
We went on a 5-day safari and it was a fantastic experience. Our driver/guide, Bakari, was truly fantastic. He did his utmost to show us the Big Five – and he succeeded! Communication was also very smooth, and he explained everything along the way in a fun and clear manner. This really made the safari extra special.
Dave, our private chef, also deserves a huge compliment. He provided delicious meals every day, which was a real luxury after long safari days.
Most of the accommodations were excellent and well-maintained. Unfortunately, there was one campsite that was very disappointing: there was no light or running water in the toilets, and after a long, dusty day, you couldn't shower properly. I thought that was a real shame, and this could definitely be improved.
Furthermore, there were a few organizational points that could have been improved by the tour operator: The beer and wine that were included in the trip were forgotten at the beginning. As a result, we had to pay for our own beer and wine for four evenings, even though it was included in our price. On the last evening, beer and wine were brought, but this was meant to last the entire week, so we ultimately didn't get much use out of it. I found that rather disappointing.
The tour operator also indicated they weren't aware of our flight details. We were picked up at 2:00 AM for a flight scheduled for 5:00 AM, but it turned out to be delayed until 7:00 AM. This change hadn't been communicated to us, so we were awake all night at the airport. We then had to go on the first day of safari without any sleep, which was very tiring and unpleasant.
Despite these issues, the safari was generally well-organized, and we look back on it with very positive feelings. Again: the driver and the cook made this trip truly unforgettable. Absolutely recommended, with a few points to consider regarding the organization.

Excellent guide. Interesting and tailored the tour to the group’s requests. Made sure we had all the photos we wanted before continuing. Accommodations were wonderful, delicious food and drinks and very comfortable place to stay. I would highly recommend. I will be using this tour for my next safari for sure!

The place were trust and happiness come together
A safari is an incredible experience, but to enjoy it to the fullest it is essential to be in good hands. We were extremely lucky to find Safari Africa United. Cornelio inspired confidence from the very first contact and tailored a private safari perfectly to our preferences. I truly don’t think there is anyone better to help you plan your trip.
Once in Tanzania, our guide Laurian was the greatest gift. He had an exceptional depth of knowledge about the wildlife in the parks we visited and an enormous heart.
I am absolutely certain that I will return to Tanzania, and I will do so with Safari Africa United.

Nice trip
I had a great experience with Super Eagles Travel and Tours. Their communication was clear and timely from the beginning, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. The team was professional, friendly, and always ready to answer questions or provide guidance.
The service was excellent and well-organized, and everything went as promised. I found their packages to be good value for money, with no hidden charges. They were reliable throughout the journey, and the tour itself was enjoyable, comfortable, and well coordinated.
I would definitely recommend Super Eagles Travel and Tours to anyone looking for a trustworthy travel company that delivers quality service and memorable travel experiences.
