Highly recommend David and Salomon
We went on a 5+2 day camping safari with Kilele Savanne (one night before and after the actual safari in Arusha). We had a wonderful time and it was a great experience.
We can highly recommend Kilele Savanne and especially the team we went with: Our driver and guide David and our cook Soloman. Both of them are truly experts in there field and were highly motivated to make our safari an unforgetable memory.
We were lucky enough to even spot the big five although we can say, that if your just after the big animals and just want your driver to be on the radio and then race from spot to spot, than you'd probably be better of with a different team. We truly enjoyed David's way of game driving, which is to just try to spot the animals yourself.
This does not mean that everything went perfectly smooth like a swiss clock, but compared to all the other stuff we experienced in four weeks of travelling through Tansania - the Safari was pretty good organized! We were more than happy doing that little journey with Kilele Savane.
Our trip:
Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire.
I'm shure you'll have a good time on Safari with this company!

Excellent Service to Help Us Plan the Trip of a Lifetime
Terri Ann and Lee were incredible to work with and provided top of the line service. My husband and I planned to do a safari and then head to Mauritius over the Christmas holiday and were overwhelmed for choice. Terri Ann sent through a beautiful presentation with lots of options and price points and Lee set up a conference call with us in the UK to help us identify the best place for us. They provided very organised information and payment reminders ahead of our trip and sent us a thorough pack with all the detail we needed to get around easily. We headed for Kapama which 5 star plus some. Outstanding service, incredible food, luxurious but rustic surroundings all at the same time - I couldn't rave about the place more. I hope we can come back someday and I would absolutely be in touch with Ker & Downey to help us coordinate. Thanks to the team for planning a trip of a lifetime for us!

Great two weeks in Botswana!
The first impression is often crucial. When I started planning our safari trip to Botswana, I contacted a few local tour organizers in the internet. Mark from Gondwana answered promtly and came up with some tempting suggestions and good description of what to expect. So, it was easy to select Gondwana to work with. Our itinerary underwent numerous changes and last minute alterations and every time Mark patiently and quickly responded to our needs and wishes. The end result was great and everything worked as planned. We had wonderful time in Botswana. Visited 5 camps, all different, all with comfortable and spacious accomodation and good meals. Flew on small planes from one place to another, did safari drives with knowledgeable and helpful guides every morning and evening, saw lots of animals, gulped sundowners with spectacular sunsets, etc. Even the weather was on our side. Then it was nice to finish our safari with a visit to Victoria Falls and to celebrate the birthday of one of our travel companions with a sumptuous dinner on the terrace of Victoria Falls Hotel.

A gorgeous place with wonderful people.
The Makoa farm is again and again the destiantion of my travels. Meanwhile, I visited this special place four times. The people are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is very familiar. The many possible activities make every visit to be something special. The hosts try to make every wish come true and organize a special program for everybody. In addition to riding and horseback safaris there are a lot of things to do. For example a monkey walk with some of the baby and teen monkeys, watching fruit bats in a cave, take a jeep or walking safari in nearby Arusha Park, visit a giant turtle, explore the village or the market in Moshi , take a bath in the Hot Springs and many, many more. The accommodation is gorgeous (early morning tea or coffee in the bed or on the terrace overlooking Kilimanjaro) and the food is phenomenal. Both riders and non-riders could have very special days (or weeks..) on that place.

Great Tour Company, thrilling gorilla trekking in the mist in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
I and my friends were overwhelmed by the exhilarating tour to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Under Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd, we went to Trek the gentle giant - the mountain Gorilla - we were professionally handled by our tour guide Joseph Olupot who was friendly and helpful. The Gorilla Trekking was well organised and the park rangers were magnificent. Should you desire to have a great experience while on holiday, consider Uganda and Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd,you will not regret your decision.

Amazing honeymoon! Safari and Beach combination
We were really, really impressed with Africa Odyssey. They knew exactly what to do for us and got the itinerary spot on. There is so much choice and it's so confusing but Dave, our consultant, made the perfect trip for us. We saw incredible animal sightings. All the predators and antelope! Our beach lodge was breathtaking and exactly what we wanted after a safari.

Awesome Amboseli Trip
I wish to congratulate Helinas Safari for their good work, My family and l visited Amboseli and we had a beautiful tym, went for game drive and it was lots of fun. The hotel was 5* with excellent Service and plenty of delicacies. We dnt mind taking another tour with Helinas Safari cos we found it very easy to travel as all arrangements were made on our behalf and ours was only to present ourselves. On behalf of my Family l'd wish to congratulate the Helinas and Pray that God blesses them as they save Families the trouble of planning Safaris. For those who only see Helinas Safari adverts and nvr bother to knw what they do as l used to, kindly give them a call to find out abt their packages and you'll be surprised how easy they'll make your travel.
