A Dream Come True
I did a 4 day gorilla and chimpanzee tour in Rwanda with Bamboo Eco Tours as well as an add on 1 day safari to Akagera National Park. Edison was so extremely helpful, patient and informative from the very start. I started planning this trip several months in advance. I had so many questions about the different tour options and Edison always responded so quickly! He helped me to choose the perfect tour for all my needs and wants.
Jackson was my driver for 5 days and he was absolutely wonderful. He was always on time or early each day for pick up. He was patient and kind and catered to all my needs throughout the trip. He was also a very safe driver and a friendly person. We had a great time throughout the trip.
My tours were beyond a dream! I saw many gorillas and chimpanzees as well as the safari animals. I could not be happier or more satisfied with Bamboo Eco Tours! This was a trip of a lifetime complete with amazing tours, tour guides and porters!

good, very good, everything is good.
The experience was great, the food and accommodation were all very good. The boss was very thoughtful and even arranged two Chinese dishes during the period, which were perfect. I want to share them with everyone. Keep going, business is thriving!

Dream safari
This year, my wife and I decided to go for a safari in Kenya, and after some research booked out trip with Iyara Safari.
We believe that we made the right choice as Iyara Safari lived up, and indeed even exceeded our expectations on some areas.
The 6 day trip was carefully orchestrated by the team. We were assigned a very experienced guide/driver -Samson- and a private 4 wheeler land cruiser, who thoroughly looked after us throughout the trip,, was able to excellently answer our questions related to both the safari as well as general ones about Kenya. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the animals we can across, their names, habits, and even where they were likely to be found!
We stayed in 3 different lodges (hotel resorts) picked by Iyara, and all met again our expectations.
We were fortunate to come across many beautiful creatures like lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, buffalo crocodiles, elephants, many species of antelopes, hippos, and various species of birds
We definitely will recommend Iyara to our family and friends should they plan a safari to this beautiful country and thanks again to The Iyara team for having us get a great experience

Good quality and good guide
My mother and I went on safari in the Masai Mara for the first time, for a 3-day, 2-night trip, and it was absolutely fantastic! Francis was our guide, and from the very first moment it was clear that he is a great guy.
On the first day, he gave us extra time in the park and did an amazing job of spotting as much wildlife as possible. We actually saw more animals on the first day than we had expected to see during the entire trip. Super cool!
The second day was a bit more relaxed, which was also really nice. We spent the day in the park from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m., with a delicious and extensive lunch box that we enjoyed together on a picnic blanket under a tree in the park.
All in all, it was an incredible experience. Francis, thank you for sharing your knowledge, for creating such a great group spirit, and for putting so much effort into making sure we could see as many animals as possible — including the Big Five!

Fantastic organization and wonderful experience!
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience! The organisation was fantastic from start to finish, and everything was very well planned.
Our driver, Simon, was excellent — made sure we had the best possible experience. Our guide, Megan, was also amazing. She shared so many interesting facts and stories about the animals and the surrounding area, which made the safari even more fascinating.
It was a truly unforgettable experience, and I learned so much during the trip. I would highly recommend this safari to everyone — definitely an experience worth having!
