Excellent service, communication, planning, and support from Emile, who showed us Rwanda's beauty.
From the moment I spoke with Emile as I was planning our trip, I knew that he would be an excellent tour operator. He has years of practical experience in coveted roles with Rwanda's national parks; he speaks English, Kinyarwanda, French, and a bit of Spanish (very talented with languages); he has many contacts in the travel and hospitality industries; Emile's explanations of everything we asked about was very insightful and educational; the communication with him was always prompt and informative; excellent value for money; high reliability; the tour itself was fantastic!

An exceptionally professional, attentive operator that go beyond expectations
I started looking for a travel agency in Kenya to plan our honeymoon, and we found the best option. From the moment I reached out, Amos and Betty were incredibly attentive and professional. They sent us options based on our budget and always helped with recommendations, answered questions about visas, and more — all very promptly. We always had someone picking us up at the airports, and we had our own guide, John, who was the most attentive, helpful, and friendly person. Our safari wouldn’t have been the same without him. He shared facts about the different animals, birds, etc., talked to us about the parks and the local people, and answered all of our questions.
The lodges they booked for us were very comfortable, always clean, and the food was quite good. As a suggestion, ask about the travel times between parks and the option to fly between them so you can compare and choose what best suits your experience.
They also took us to some amazing restaurants in Nairobi, and we had the opportunity to get to know each other better — that was truly valuable and something we deeply appreciated.
I highly recommend hiring them to have one of the best experiences of your life. I also believe they are very good at adapting to your budget, which is extremely helpful when you’re a foreigner and not very familiar with the local country.

Another Unforgettable Safari with Chalo Africa – Our Trusted Partners for Africa Travel
This was our second trip with the Chalo Africa team, and this time it was a magical safari through Kenya. For us, any trip to Africa is planned with Chalo Africa by default—they know the continent inside out and always go the extra mile to create something special.
This was actually the first time I’ve ever booked a trip six months in advance. That kind of early commitment only came from the trust we have in the team—we knew that if anything went wrong, they’d be right there to support us. And true to form, they delivered flawlessly.
From the very first calls with Smita and Sangeeta, they took the time to understand our preferences and needs. We were traveling with a 6-year-old and a 75-year-old, so we had unique requirements. The team made thoughtful suggestions and crafted a perfectly balanced itinerary that catered to everyone.
The entire trip—from the camps to the logistics—was smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. The stays were top-notch, and every little detail was taken care of.
The transparency in pricing and the value delivered made the entire experience even more rewarding. In fact, after each trip, we come away feeling we’ve experienced more than we expected.
The Kenya safari itself was incredible, but what made it truly memorable was the way Chalo Africa brought it all together. We’ll continue to recommend them to friends and family, and we’re already looking forward to our next adventure with them.

The best!
My experience with Welweit adventures was nothing short of incredible! From the very moment I contacted them, they made us feel so welcome to their beautiful country, Tanzania. We had booked a one day hike to Kilimanjaro; a trip to Chemka hot springs and a Maasai village; and a day trip to Arusha National Park. The three guides who accompanied us during those activities, namely Mathew, Joseph, and Jift respectively, were very knowledgeable in their field of work apart from being friendly and approachable. All three of them taught us so much about the local culture, traditions and the way of life. Baraka, who heads the team at Welweit also kept in contact with us way before our trip and well as throughout our trip, to ensure everything ran smoothly. One important aspect I must mention here is how Baraka went out of his way to get us information related to our visa, which we believe was very thoughtful of him, despite his busy work schedule. He kept us informed of the situation and that in turn helped us be at ease. By the end of the trip, we felt like we were made a part of the Welweit family! Asante Sana (Thank you) Baraka and team Welweit for the memories for a lifetime, and more!

Great tour, personal touch
The tour was very well organised. Both drivers were very nice they started out with an explanation and a small gift. We then drove to the locations in a very comfortable car and we were never left alone. The locations were great and we had an amazing experience.
The words hakuna matata were in place.

Eddy was super nice! Amazing energy throughout the whole tour, making a great effort so that we could see as much animals as possible. Super friendly guy, with an amazing sense of humor! During the stops he would give us very nice information about the animals and the place. I would definitely recommend him! If you have to chose someone, go for Eddy!

Excellent trip
We were a big complicated group with many special requests, and Africa Zim arranged everything perfectly! Pamela was our guide for the week and she was great. She got us last-minute game drives, vegetarian options, and amazing accommodations. We could not have asked for a better person to show us this beautiful part of the world—highly recommend her!
Speaking of this part of the world—it’s truly special and highly worth the visit. Victoria Falls was so impressive and all of the national parks had incredible wildlife and we had an amazing time.

Perfect from start to finish!
We really enjoyed our entire trip—from booking to activities to accommodations. We were able to modify the trip ahead of time to suit our needs. Very responsive service.
When we arrived, Pamela was our guide, and she truly made our 8-day experience special. She knew all of the best local spots which made a huge difference. She was super flexible, friendly, and knowledgeable and helped us see everything we wanted to see.
The trip offered a lot of variety, so we were never bored. Chobe is amazing, so is Victoria Falls, and elephant sands. All of the food was amazing and so were the accommodations. It’s hard to pick a highlight. Cannot recommend this trip enough.
