Fantastic Caring and Attention to detail
We had a great time with Banok Safaris. Right from customizing the package, they are very adjusting to the customer budget and gave good camp/lodge options within the budget. Benson and Sky helped to curate a good package. We has a 7 night 8 day package and it flew by very quickly.
Tip: Always try to stay as much as possible inside the forest and try to choose Camps than Lodges.
Jackson the guide, the driver, the specialist, the expert, was awesome. He made our game drives fun, thrilling and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him for the tour.
We saw the big 5 and many others even though we went in the lean season. Even when we had some small issues in the lodges in Nakuru and Naivasha, jackson helped us through the lodge guys to fix everything for us.
All in all a great trup and we will definitely come back and travel again with Banok Safaris.

Great Sightings
Great sightings, saw the big 5 including 28 lions. Apparently not everyone witnessed the amount of wildlife we saw. Got to know our guide Caleb is known as Jungle master in the area. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable; he ensured we entered the park at the earliest and exit at the very end. Very lucky to do the safari with him. During the week, we were among the few jeeps who saw 2 cheetahs outside the Amboseli park.
Highly recommended to do private safari with Jungle roam and Caleb!

Remarkable Big Five Sightings and Excellent Service
Our trip to Tanzania with Enticing Journeys was amazing. From Arusha to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, their management was absolutely perfect. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. In every safari, they took us to the right place at the right time, so that we could see many Big Five.
The car was clean and comfortable. Accommodation and food was very good. I would definitely recommend Enticing Journeys for those who want to do luxury or mid-range safari.

Exceptional Service for Large Groups and Student Travel
Andrew and the Usoke Explorers team were fantastic throughout our two-week university trip in Uganda. They helped coordinate transportation, guided excursions, safari experiences and other activities for a group of more than 35 students, and professors.
What impressed me most was how easy they made everything. We simply had to show up on time, and they took care of the rest. From organizing activities like quad biking and horseback riding to guiding us through the day-time and night-time safaris, Andrew and his team were professional, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife.
They were also great at helping us spot animals, answering questions, and even taking candid photos throughout the trip. Managing a large student group is not easy, but they handled it effortlessly and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.
I would highly recommend Usoke Explorers to students, large groups, or anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable experience in Uganda. Thank you, Andrew and team, for helping make our trip so special.

Our guide was incredible, very knowledgeable about national parks, animals, and very friendly
My 2 adult sons and I had the most wonderful 8 days in Kenya! The weather was perfect the last week of May. Kenyan people are very kind, humble, friendly. We were at Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara. 1st 2 nights stayed at 5 star hotel in Nairobi to decompress after 22 hour flight from Boston-Amsterdam-Nairobi. We saw over 40 different species of animals, including giraffes, lions, elephants, cougar, rhinoceroses, hippos, hyenas, ostriches, pelicans, impalas, gazzelles, warthogs, zebras, cheetah, wildebeest, storks, monkeys, exotic birds, mongoose. The scenery in the national parks was incredible. We loved all the lodges we stayed at and the food. I highly recommend booking a safari for minimum 7 days with Morningstar!

Fine Bush Tours knocked it out of the (game) park!
I was introduced to Fine Bush Tours through a friend that had used them in the past. Booking an Africa safari trip can be overwhelming. Ihani took all of that stress out of the equation. She gave me a few different options to choose from at each stop but also gave me her opinion on which the best choice was, and boy did she nail it for each one! The itinerary she put together was perfect and the experience was the most amazing trip I have ever been on. She is incredibly knowledgeable about each park and camp and made the exact suggestions that made the trip unforgettable. If you are planning a trip to Africa there is no better tour company to use.

Lovely journey with professional arrangements
The experience was professional and all the arrangements were pretty nice, with a reasonable price. The communication was also very smooth. The safari was quite a memorable experience thanks to our friendly and knowledgeable guide Fred.

Awesome experience!
We had the most wonderful experience with Galilaya Expedition. The communication and organization before the trip were smooth and the tour operator was very helpful. The itinerary fit perfectly to our wishes (8 days, all National parks + Materuni waterfall). The safari trip was unforgettable - everything went just as it was planned and even beyond that. We were especially satisfied with the service of food, sleeping arrangements and the comfort of the tour.
And yes, we saw all the big 5! :)
Last but not least - we really mean it - we got the best possible tour guide and cook.
Tour guide: Riziki. He went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted and that we are safe. Apart from that he has an amazing knowledge, great English and we had the best time with him.
Cook: Benedict. A young guy, who treated us unbelievably well. And on top of that, he cooks like a chef. We really believe we had the best meals of all groups that we saw.
To sum it up: This was an unforgettable trip. Great organisation from Galilaya Expedition and an amazing choice of personnel. We warmly recommend it to everyone, who is trying to visit Tanzania. Thank you!
WELL-ORGANIZED AND MEMORABLE KENYA SAFARI EXPERIENCE
I was one of three travelers who joined a safari organized by Travast Adventures last month. The booking was initiated by Collince on our behalf and from the very beginning everything was well coordinated and professionally handled.
The itinerary covered Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, all of which were smoothly arranged and executed without any issues. Each destination offered unique and unforgettable wildlife and landscape experiences.
We were accompanied throughout the safari by our experienced guide, Thomas, who was knowledgeable, patient and ensured we had the best possible game-viewing opportunities, including remarkable sightings during the trip.
Overall, the entire experience was seamless, well planned and highly enjoyable. I would confidently recommend Travast Adventures to anyone looking for a reliable and well-organized safari in Kenya.

Fantastic safari, well organised and lasting memories!
We had an amazing time, so much better than expected. Joseph our tour guide was outstanding and the best guide we've had on our trips. So fun, hakuna matata and Joseph's experience real shone through. Knowing the National Park hotspots, he was so easy to talk to. A real credit to the company.
Fanuely, was great from his first contact, gave great recommendations and made my dream safari a reality.
Everything was so well planned, all went above and beyond to give us a magically and memories of a lifetime.
Accommodation was brilliant, we went for the upgraded package, which was well worth it.
