A very successful 16 days wildlife super safari for one person
The result of wildlife rating should be very much better if I would have taken part on gorilla or chimpanzee tracking. Without the mentioned
animals you can'' t compare the wildlife with countries as in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia or South Africa. But also with a smaller animal kingdom you can have wonderful experiences. So I had the possibility to watch in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary my smallest rhino
I have ever seen before in Africa, in one of the lakes or channels my smallest hippo, without the mother you could carry the cup away with
both hands, a fish eagle with a too tall fish just in front of our car, not more than three metres away, twice the fish fell down in front of our car
when the eagle started to safe the fish and in Rwakobo camp I had the luck to watch a two months old waterbuck, found from the manager of
the camp in a age of 1,5 weeks without a mother. Two times a day the little buck came to the manager of the camp and was asking for bottles
of milk. Because you could touch the cup and give to the animal some milk, it was one of the main attractions.
The safari was organized with one of the best, perhaps even the best travel agency in Uganda. For nearly a year, the manager Jackie was
planning with me together my tour of Uganda. Jackie was a amazing and patient, with unusual prompt replies to my emails and with her help
I booked the best safari to suit my needs. With one of the best cars, a 4x4 wheel driven Toyota Landcruiser, we - the driver and safari guide
Martin - started our safari, when he picked me up at the airport around midnight. For road conditions, which I haven' t seen before during
nearly fifty years in Africa the car and the driver was the best what could had happened to me. Very often without any signs Martin found
without any difficulties his way and brought us without any breakdowns back to Kampala and Entebbe. Under no circumstances I felt unwell
or there was a fear of not enough security. Wether for lunch or dinner I had to eat meat, with his help I could always pick up a piece of fried
fish with chips.
The accommodations, with Jackie I had agreed with "moderate", were always very clean and comfortable, but only the accommodations in
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Rwakobo camp where a little bit more simple and older.
The mountains and lakes of the southwestern part of Uganda are postcard perfect. Katona Tours and Travel is a very experienced Tour Opera-
tortor and travel expert for East Africa. I would definitely use Katona Tours again.

South Africa Botswana adventure with World Escapes
We had a great time! Cape Town was unbelievable! Our hotels were outstanding and the World Escapes did a great job with all our day trips. Sam our guide was top notch. Please let World Escapes know that he was great!
Chiefs camp is the best camp that we have stayed in way much better that mombo. The camp and the rooms were excellent, We can say the same thing about the staff and the quality of food.
Duba was great, Dynamics have changed since the hunting Tsaro pride had aged /passed away and the next generation is in charge. The food by the chef Oliver was one the best food we have had in all of our safaris. Every dish that he prepared mouthwatering. Please let the World Escapes know that many of us wanted to take Oliver back in the States with us because he was that great. The rooms at the camp were nice… However the camp Managers were new and didn’t handle some sitituations as proffesionally as they could have although they were fine nonetheless. Baboons broke into Herbert and Paula’s rooms and the way the managers handled it made it seem like that were trying cover it up. Maybe /maybe not who knows?
We finally hit the rainy season and it showed, wildlife viewing wasn’t as pleasant but we have to give it to the guides who tried really hard to show a good time. they were honestly great. The food looked nice but needs a lot of improvement. it just didn’t taste as good. The camp also needs a facelift. The floors were not as clean including inside the shower, they need to pick this up with the house cleaning who need to do a quick daily sweep of the fllors. The only reason that I have decided to point out these faults is to help the camps to raise their standards. The were all very special camps and we loved every moment of our trip. Thank you all for all you did to make it happen. We will recommend you to our friends.

Excellent budget safari
Overall the safari was great. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we saw so many animals. We were picked up from our Airbnb outside of Nairobi and driven to the office the morning we departed. The amenities at the camps outside the parks were not luxurious, but certainly adequate. The food was substantive and lunch was provided each day, as promised, while on game drives or driving between parks. Communicating with Robert was very easy as he was very responsive. One thing to be aware of is that if you’re doing a multi-day safari visiting different parks then one day may not include a game drive, but just driving between parks. We did a 5 day safari to Masai Mara and Amboseli, which actually was 1.5 day drives in each park. The morning of first (6 HRs) and all day of third day was driving (11.5 hrs). That’s inevitable because of the distance - but whereas some safaris may fly you into the parks, this safari route is all driving. Also, with these types of safaris you may be picking up and dropping off group members as not everyone is on the same schedule. We did encounter one miscommunication where our transportation to Mombasa wasn’t as we expected. We actually had to backtrack a few hours and pick up an intercity bus for 8 hours to get to our destination, where as we thought the Safari van or transport associated with the safari would bring us there. It was a bit of an added stressor and if we had known it was a public bus we may have arranged other transportation for that last day. All in all it was a great adventure, and a great deal for what you get, but just make sure to be clear on transportation and your agenda!

Unforgettable four days in Masai Mara.
Great experience for our first time in Kenya. The safari was well organized and service was great. Joe, our guide from Right Choice Safari did a fantastic job of helping us see the BIG Five. The entire experience on Safari Bookings.com was flawless. Awesome job. Keep it up.

Safari was as expected. Booking and lodging was not managed well at all.
Kenya was worth the trip. We saw different environments, Lush farm areas, African Bush (including dust), and green mountainous landscapes. Food was good and most important..People were very hospitable.
