We would advise others to avoid Silver Spark. In our experience, their conduct felt unethical
I booked almost 8k worth of trip and got cheated by this company . Bad broken van, terrible transfer from Kenya to Tanzania via rural road to save toll fee, worst of it is to cheat us out of hotel that we paid for to a cheap hotel in a weedful beach in Zanzibar. After promising to return 300 dollars for 8 months and 50 msg exchanges, I had to pay my friend on my own as I booked the trip . I feel terrible and stupid to have trusted them

Once in a lifetime experience
Our wonderful tour guide Tom took us on an adventure of a lifetime. We contracted a 5-day safari to experience the Wildebeest migration, and experience it we did. Tom was knowledgeable, fun, and so patient. We can’t wait to return to Kenya and check out the parks we missed this time.

The tour operator is an excellent and amazing professional.
This was the greatest safari of my life and an unforgettable experience at Kruger Park. I saw many animals and took plenty of photos, all safely with skilled professionals. Choosing you was my best decision. One of the best moments of my life—I hope to return with you, friends.

Very committed
We absolutely had an unforgettable time on our safari!
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The guides were incredibly friendly, attentive, and very respectful – you could immediately tell how much experience and passion they have for their work. Thanks to them, we were able to experience so many amazing moments.
The camp was also fantastic: The entire team was warm and helpful, and we felt completely at home. I would especially like to highlight the food – morning, noon, and dinner – always fresh, delicious, and varied.
Many thanks to everyone who made this trip such a special experience. I highly recommend it!

I recently had the pleasure of exploring Uganda's breathtaking landscapes with Great Lions Safaris, and I'm still pinching myself. Our 6-day adventure took us to the majestic Murchison Falls National Park and the enchanting Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
From the moment we arrived, our guide( David) , was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing Uganda's natural beauty. The game drives in Murchison Falls were exhilarating, with incredible sightings of elephants, giraffes, and lions. The boat cruise along the Nile River offered stunning views and a chance to spot hippos and crocodiles.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi. Witnessing these gentle giants in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide's expertise and care ensured our safety and comfort throughout the trek.
Great Lions Safaris exceeded our expectations in every way. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a reliable and experienced tour operator to guide you through Uganda's wilderness, look no further than Great Lions Safaris

Luca was a very knowledgeable guide that was dedicated to find all the things we wanted to see
Our safari trip consisted of 3 days, where we visited Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. We had a small delay in the beginning of the trip due to the airline, but Midiam and his team did everything possible to get us to our final destination without any more delays. Our guide, Luca, was affected by this but he did his best in order to show us as much as possible of the Serengeti. With a mix of his experience, knowledge and luck, we were able to have the most unforgettable safari in only 3 days.

Professional and trustworthy
We are a group of 18 from Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Decided to try Fancina Africa Tours and Safari (FATS) on recommendation of a friend
We chose the budget safari tour.
6 of us flew in early and stayed in Acacia Tree Lodge, which gave us a wonderful 1st impression of Kenya’s hospitality. Love the place ( see my review of the place)
Our 1st safari with FATS was to Amboseli Nat park. Terrific. Saw alot of game there.
With the rest of the group, we travelled via 3 vans ( 6 per van) to Masai Mara. Spent 2 days there. Didnt know the entrance to the park was USD 200 per pax per day! ( it the peak season)
The accommodation outside MasaiMara was very basic. Imagine the lock on our door was just a bend nail! The ladies understandably felt insecure.
The Nakuru Nat park was awesome. The wildlife there blew us away. The optional boat ride and Sanctuary walk was amazing. On our last day, we cycled in Hell’s gate and visited the gorge
We were touched FATS presented a cake to our birthday girl.
In summary, even-though, we chose a budget safari tour, we managed to see more game that we expected ( and more than those on the luxury tours). The food including breakfast/ lunch/ dinner was palatable and adequate and there were free H2O in our vans.
My group was lucky to have Mike as our driver. He was knowledgeable, polite and most importantly a safe driver. ( traffic in Kenya is terrible)
This tour by Fancina Africa exceeded out expectations and most us had a great time.
Will definitely recommend them

2-Day Short Safari after Kilimanjaro Climbing
Having finished my Kilimanjaro ascent, I needed a brief but memorable safari to relax and see Tanzania's wildlife. I reserved the 2-Day Short Safari on with guide Mark, and it proved to be the ideal post-climb adventure. Since the very start of our journey, Mark's energy and extensive knowledge of the area made the experience unique. His friendly nature and ability to narrate made the landscapes and creatures come alive. On the initial day, we toured Tarangire National Park, renowned for its enormous baobab trees as well as great herds of elephants. We saw giraffes walking elegantly across the savannah, zebras feeding at a distance, and even caught a glimpse of a pride of lions sleeping in the shade. We spent our overnight stay in a cozy lodge with breathtaking views. The staff was welcoming, the food was great, and the ambiance was soothing – just what I needed after climbing for days. The second day brought us to Ngorongoro Crater, a stunning natural wonder. Mark knew the prime viewing spots and was swift at detecting shy animals such as black rhinos and hippos. The absolute number of animals in the crater was staggering, and Mark gave us ample time for photographs and reflective moments to absorb it all. What impressed me most was how smoothly everything was organized – from transportation to meals – allowing me to simply enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this safari with Mark and Bwana Na Adventures. It’s an ideal way to celebrate a Kilimanjaro summit and immerse yourself in Tanzania’s incredible nature.
