It was a wonderful experience!!
It was a wonderful experience, thanks to the entire Shengena Adventure team! Everything was handled very professionally; they respond incredibly fast to every email and question, and they are great at solving any issues. The accommodation and food were unbeatable, and best of all was our amazing guide, Stanley! We recommend them 100% and would undoubtedly do it all over again!

A highly professional, reliable, and knowledgeable that made our safari unforgettable
We had an absolutely incredible experience on our 11-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour operator to make it so special.
From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organised and handled professionally. Derrick was friendly, attentive , always reachable and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the journey.
Our guide(Dennis in Kenya and Adam in Tanzania) was particularly outstanding — knowledgeable, patient and passionate about wildlife. They went above and beyond to help us spot, get the best view and understand the animals, while also sharing fascinating insights about the local environment and culture. Their experience really made a huge difference to the safari.
The accommodation, transportation, daily arrangements and overall planning were all excellent. Despite the long days and early starts, everything ran smoothly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the incredible experience.
Over 11 days, we saw some truly unforgettable wildlife and experienced moments that we will remember for the rest of our lives. It was a fantastic adventure from start to finish.
A huge thank you to the entire team for making our safari such a memorable and special experience. We would highly recommend ETA adventure safaris to anyone looking for a well-organised, professional and genuinely unforgettable safari experience!

Very nice safari experience
We had a great time during our 7 days safari in Masai Mara, Amboseli and Nakuru.
Our guide Musa was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, made sure to show us every animal and explain the story behind it. Musa was also very friendly, reliable and was always happy to help. I think, having him as a guide made our experience especially good.
Also the overall organisation was done very well. The coordination with hotels, transportation, extra activities was great. So we left the safari very happy.

Once-in-a-Lifetime- Experience
I would highly recommend booking your safari through GoTouchDown. Lucia and crew did a wonderful job getting everything booked and our drivers, rangers, and game lodge employees did an excellent job in making sure we had a once-in-a-life time experience. We traveled with our young adult children and stayed at the City Lodge the first night, 3 nights at the Royal Morubisi, 4 nights at Siyela/Tskududo and another 4 nights in Cape Town. We loved each place as much as the next.
Our drivers/guides, James and Tony, were so informative, helpful and friendly. Our rangers, Lucas and Dan, were amazing and spotted all of the animals on our list. We saw lions, cheetahs and leopards several times and got so close to them. It was an awesome experience. We saw the Big 5: elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards and buffalo at both private reserves. Plus countless giraffes, zebras, impalas, wildebeests, and warthogs. We also saw a few crocodiles sun bathing, a herd of hippos in the water with only their eyes above water and a male ostrich doing an extravagant mating dance. Plus my favorite bird, the lilac breasted roller.
Cape Town was also an amazing experience. We went to the Cape of Good Hope, saw penguins, went up to Table Mountain, went to a dinner theater with amazing local dancing and drumming along with wine tasting.

Above and Beyond
Leisureway was great. The process of booking the trip was smooth, our accommodations were comfortable and our tour guide was great. We also worked closely with Esther who was a God-send. Unfortunately we had a health emergency during our time there and Esther went above and beyond to make sure we could access medical care in a timely fashion and even came to visit us afterwards. Just a PSA that you are quite literally in the bush, so the closest facilities are in Nairobi. The terrain is also quite rugged on the drive there so be prepared for that. Overall we had a good experience with this group and would highly recommend them.

Tapestry is competent, caring, talented and reliable in planning and executing the perfect safari.
Tapestry of Africa, though being a relatively new tour company, has assembled a very talented and caring team of safari tour guides and administrative staff. We felt very safe, well informed, and comfortable throughout our safari. Their ability to find the animals, immerse you in the local culture and foster relationships with your fellow travelers and Tapestry staff was unlike anything my wife and I have ever experienced in our all of our travels. Accommodations were excellent and the Tapestry Team made us feel at home in every way. Pricing was very reasonable and included funding for local ministries that support human service needs, especially dental services for those who otherwise don't have such services available to them. During the entire adventure, we felt well cared for by a reliable and caring Tapestry team. We give them 5 stars in every category and strongly recommend them for your African adventure!

A Memorable Safari
Rafiki Tembo organized a memorable Safari for my family of 13. Lowassa was available every step of the way and was open to my suggestions and modifications. Our Guides, Deo and Athuman (aka Simba) were very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with throughout the Safari. I am grateful to the entire Rafiki Tembo Team for an outstanding experience.

Lion King adventures is an exceptional safari tour operator with professional staff.
We recently returned from the most amazing 7 day Serengeti great migration safari with our 9 year old son. Lion King Adventures exceeded all of our expectations and made the entire experience an adventure we will never forget. From the initial planning conversations, to the airport transportation, to the actual safari, everything was communicated and organized professionally. Each day was a new adventure and we couldn’t wait for our game drives, exploring new sites, and seeing what the next accommodation would have in store for our us. We travel several times each year as a family and this was by far the most moving experience yet. What really made this trip special was our guide Joseph. He was incredibly professional, caring, knowledgeable of the local cultures and wildlife, and one of the most skilled Serengeti drivers you will find! By the end of the week we had memories that will last us a lifetime and it was incredibly hard to say goodbye to Joseph and our daily Serenegti adventures. If you’re looking to have a once in a lifetime experience in the Serengeti, we highly recommend Lion King Adventures and hope you are as fortunate as we were to have Joseph as our guide.

Highly recommend for an amazing safari
We went on a 5 day safari with Kiliclimb around mid-August and it was the most amazing experience! Janeth, our tour consultant, was great and helped answer a lot of questions, and provided us with options as we settled on the final itinerary. She checked in with us during the safari and made sure we were comfortable. The safari was awesome! Our guide, Bakari, was excellent, and took great care of us during the safari as well as beyond. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and it was wonderful to have him as our guide. We highly recommend Bakari! We saw the big 5, and were lucky enough to witness a wildebeest river crossing during the migration! Our stays were great and we had tasty packed lunch. A very memorable trip!

Overall good
Overall the experience for good, just that the first and second night tent could be better. The hot shower is full of metal smell and they have cut of time for using the electric power.
