Splendid organisation with Splendid vacation
From the quote to the post holiday period, I have been extremely happy with Splendid Vacations. The quote was very detailed and easy to modify to adjust exactly to our needs and budget. The holiday itself went really well, with Rono our great guide , really nice accommodation with very available staff (almost too much at times!). Sammy communicated frequently to make sure everything was on track, ready to make changes if needed. Warmly recommend!

Amazing
The safari with Telly Africa Safari was amazing from start to finish. The communication with them was clean and simple, they really take into consideration everything you tell them to prepare the best tour for your needs. We did a 2 days/1night safari in Nyerere staying at Selous Lodge with the flights from and to Zanzibar included. The day before the safari, the agency called us to go through the itinerary to make sure that everything was in order, and it was. We had a bit of a delay the second day due to some problems at the park’s entrance gate, but it was quickly resolved. The guide, Mr Martin, and the driver are extremely prepared and know where to go to spot the animals you want to see. We spent the second day searching for the lions and sure enough, we found them in an area were no other cars were, so we were able to see them for more than an hour very close and alone. A similar thing happened with the elephants, we went into the forest to look for them and we were able to see them from really close and with no one else around. I highly reccomend them.

Hooves for Africa is a professional, reliable, and exceptionally well-organised tour company.
My husband and I recently completed the 7-day Rwanda and Uganda tour with Hooves for Africa, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organised, and the entire trip ran smoothly. Our guide, Brian, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about the places and wildlife we visited. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and looked after, and by the end of the trip he truly felt like part of the family!
Seeing the incredible wildlife was an unforgettable experience. Trekking to see the golden monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees was absolutely magical, and the safari game drives gave us the opportunity to see so many amazing animals.
We genuinely felt like VIPs throughout the journey. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the adventure.
We have absolutely no complaints—this was a fantastic trip from beginning to end. Thank you, Hooves for Africa and Brian, for creating memories we’ll cherish forever. We highly recommend this tour to anyone considering Rwanda and Uganda!

professional, friendly and warm hospitality
Highly recommend! Rosemary gave us very clear pre-departure briefings. Our guide Mali was professional, gave great explanations, and kept us perfectly on schedule during the 5 days. Chef Ally took excellent care of our food. A truly unforgettable and rewarding safari experience!
Jeremiah is enthusiastic, helpful, understanding and keeps his customers at the front of his mind!
The safari has been excellent everything I had expected it to be but better! And I think my guide Jeremiah made that, as a first time safari goer he took the time to understand all my thoughts and do his best to fulfill them, listening to me, wanting to help me. He didn’t just want to just work. With a smile on his face all the time he made us feel all comfortable and it really felt he went the extra mile for us, if all colleagues are like Jeremiah I’d be sure not one trip won’t be throughly enjoyed. The wildlife has been excellent as per thanks to the great guide Jeremiah!

An unforgettable safari with an amazing guide and a wonderful travel agency!
Everything was well organized from the very beginning. Winnie was always quick to respond and patiently answered all my questions before the trip. Our guide, Robert, was fantastic—he had incredible eagle eyes and always got us to the best spots for wildlife viewing. He shared so much about the animals and gave us a deeper appreciation of Kenya. Highly recommend!

A trip of a lifetime, thanks to Venance and African Big Cats Safari
We recently spent our honeymoon on a trip through Tanzania planned by African Big Cats Safari. We had the absolute best time!! From the very start, African Big Cats helped us plan our dream vacation. Naomi was incredibly helpful in tailoring our itinerary and very responsive with our (many) questions and concerns. The actual logistics on our end could not have been simpler. We arranged our flights and when we arrived our driver was ready to pick us up, from there African Big Cats handled everything else.
We spent several days with our driver, Venance, traveling across some of the national parks of Tanzania. Venance was an incredible guide. He was well organized, polite, and wonderfully friendly. His sharp eye and expansive knowledge of the history, wildlife, and culture in each of the different parks ensured that we did not miss a single thing while we were out in the bush. If we are ever so lucky to be back in Tanzania, we will definitely be asking for Venance specifically.
Because our itinerary spanned so many locations, we stayed in a different lodge almost every night. Every accommodation that African Big Cats booked for us was perfect! We got to experience a lovely variety, from the private villa at Kitela Lodge up in the hills near Ngorongoro Crater, to the deluxe tented cabins of the Nyota Luxury Camp in the Central Serengeti. Each place was unique, but they were all equally wonderful. African Big Cats communicated to all of them our dietary restrictions and excursion plans, we never had to worry about a thing. Our only regret is not getting to stay in the beautiful accommodations longer!!
Once our safari adventure was (sadly) over, African Big Cats arranged for our flight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar and a driver to the resort they booked us at. Once again, they handled absolutely everything and it could not have gone more smoothly. Our stay at the Melia Zanzibar resort was the perfect way to relax and decompress after nearly a week of bouncing around in the back of a Land Cruiser. When our trip finally came to an end, African Big Cats again arranged a driver to the airport and we were on our way home.
If you are considering a safari trip, I cannot recommend African Big Cats Safari enough! Our honeymoon was a truly once in a lifetime adventure; and Venance, Naomi, Emmanuel, and everyone else at African Big Cats were a huge part of why it was such a success. Tanzania is a beautiful country, we were so lucky to have had such a wonderful trip exploring it!

Professional, Reliable, and Highly Recommended
Our experience with Dextrip Safaris was simply excellent from beginning to end. The entire trip was exceptionally well organized, and every detail was carefully planned, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our holiday without any worries.
Our guide, Paul, was outstanding. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and always placed our safety and comfort first. His expertise in spotting wildlife, explaining animal behavior, and sharing insights about Kenya's landscapes and culture made the safari even more enjoyable and memorable. He was patient, friendly, and always willing to adapt the itinerary to our interests.
We were also very impressed by the quality of the accommodations. The hotels in Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha were all excellent, offering a high level of comfort, beautiful locations, and outstanding hospitality. A special thank you to the hotel staff, who went the extra mile to prepare delicious halal meals for us throughout our stay.
The vehicles were comfortable and well maintained, the itinerary was perfectly balanced, and the communication before and during the trip was excellent.
We highly recommend Dextrip Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused safari operator in Kenya. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would not hesitate to travel with them again on our next visit.
Thank you to Paul and the entire Dextrip Safaris team for making our trip such an unforgettable experience!

Jophride has put together a really lovely and varied tour for us. It combined a safari with gorilla trekking, sightseeing and a good insight into the lives of the people in the country. Any time again with pleasure .

The most amazing trip ever!
My husband and I had a lovely time on the trip. Nelia was lovely to work with and tailored our trip to exactly what we wanted. The lodges were amazing and the staff was so friendly. What I loved about the trip was the lodges kept getting better as the trip went on. We did the 11 day safari and everything worked out perfectly. We got value for money and everything was so smooth. We stayed at 4 different lodges and all were completely different which was nice because saw all sorts of animals. We are definitely blessed and will be booking with Indigo Safari again.
