Adventurous
Having an adventure where your guide is well equipped with knowledge is top tier. The hospitality was excellent. The environment neat. Safety was not an issue because that was covered, so one would feel at ease. Gazing at the stars under the camp fire while barbecuing, listening to the hippos splash while in the ponds from a distance and listening to all the other animals making their sounds, makes one appreciate the different aspects of life offers. Wouldn't mind another trip to the place again. Thank you Khwai. Thank you African Big 5 Tours and Safaris. Until we adventure again together.

We had a beautiful Safari with Nturo
Arriving in Kisoro, we took our time before choosing a guide to take us up to the summit of the Virunga Mountains. After a chat with the hotel manager, she recommended Nturo Safaris to us so we contacted and Emile got back almost instantly. They organized our hike for the next morning, Emile picked us up himself and went on the hike with us. Such a humble and insightful soul. We 100 percent loved the views at the summit of Muhabura, and the crater lake too.

Awesome game tour- thanks to Amiri
We had a 6d safari with stops in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The entire tour was phenomenal and one highlight followed the next. We saw the Big5 and much more….
Our guide and driver, Amiri, was amazing. I can recommend him to each and everyone….or in other words, no game drive without him. He would deserve a promotion.

An exceptional guide who helped us see the Big Five and made the whole safari unforgettable.
We had an incredible safari experience—we saw the Big Five and were blown away by the unbelievable landscapes. Our guide, Adrian, made everything possible, helping us spot many other animals and sharing fascinating facts while answering all our questions. He also had great ideas, like heading out early for a stunning sunrise. Sleeping in tents truly gave us the full safari experience. A special thanks to Pascal as well, who provided amazing food with great variety and generous portions throughout the trip. They also went out of their way to surprise us with special touches for our honeymoon, which made the experience even more memorable.

My MEMORY of a Lifetime
First time ever experience Safari adventure with a friend of mine.
He introduced using this Safari tours Group Africa for our 1 week Tour in Kenya and Tanzania.
It was Fun and adventures yet dangerous and Risky at the same time!
As we BOTH Never gone for a Tour in AFRICA before in our years of travels around the world.
Reaching out First day, the Tour Group leader, Salimu had sat down with us and go through point by point about our Itinerary plan and program for the entire whole week. He was in-detailed and explained very well. We make sure we got what we signed and paid for in the entire weeek of our Tour. Salim did that by going through the itinerary with us.
The Next day , we departed from Nairobi straight to Masai Mara National Reserve and we started to see wild Cape buffaloes lying on the grasses. They came in herds and groups. Follow by going to the deeper Gate of the Masai Mara National Reserve entrance we saw 2 Giraffes neck in neck as if they were in a Fight.
On the ROAD to our camping site which we booked in Masai , we saw some Zebras, Cheetah , antelope and even some Cheetah chasing an antelope actions.
After arrived our camp site, we have a quick rest in our camp then follow by an evening meal. After that , the Next early morning we woke up have a quick breakfast then continue our Safari drive then we FINALLY saw these pride of LIONS hiding inside the bushes with their new baby cubs. As it was about to rain, heavy rain so they went inside the bushes which are almost not visible to us anymore. Unfortunate.
Overall, we got to see Most but not all even the Big Five - Elephants, Lions, Buffaloes , LEOPARD and RHINO. In which, we got to see them at the last few days of our Tour in Africa.
In the SERENGETI parts in Tanzania, we did not see much animals but some wildebeest crossing a narrow, short River to the other side of an area for new plain Fresh grasses along with some Zebras.
Basically, that's the End of our Tour in Kenya and Tanzania!

They had everything covered in their planning, All I had to do was show up.
I took this trip Solo. Which for me was a long time coming. I wanted to see the animals in their own backyard. Figured if I didn't do it now since I am getting older I would never do it.
I researched this trip at a travel slow local to me 2 years go. I gathered all the information and talked to everyone. Then last year (2025) I visited the same travel show and confirmed what I had learned. Then I booked the trip. I took a leap of faith that I could do this and that Go Touchdown was the company to make it happen.
I was right. I made my own flight arrangements but I could have done it with their help. They did help me figure out when I would need to be there on time.
The night before I stayed in the hotel they arranged which was excellent and very easy to find, didn't even have to leave the airport to get to it!
The 2 lodges I stayed in on my trip were different but excellent. The staff at each one was friendly, helpful, did everything they could to make the trip easy. I wanted for nothing.
The game drives could not have been better. We saw animals on the first drive and on every drive after. It varied because they are wild and move around but there was an opportunity to see them every time.
I joined a group of other people, who I did not know, but we quickly became traveling friends. We rode around together, shared meals together and lived the same experiences. Once we got caught in the rain coming back to the lodge and had a great time laughing about it. We were soaked.
We saw all kinds of animals, including zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, cape buffalo, lions, leopard, Zazu the bird (think lion king movie), Warthogs (pumbaa) and Rhinos. Some were breathtakingly close (I never doubted our safety though).
The rangers who took us around were knowledgeable and fun to be with. They are excellent at backing up when needed and finding the best views to see all of the animals.
I took over 1000 photos and now have to download and go through them.
I wanted to stay longer. It was definitely worth going and I may do it again.

Excellent service with very good knowledge
We had an awesome experience visiting the Boma dinner and drum venue . Our host was excellent in service delivery and very knowledgable about Zim.
He took us right to our table and waited outside the venue all the time while we were enjoying the evening for almost 3 hours.
Excellent!
