Smart, friendly and hard-working!
Our 4 day, 3 night safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was fantastic. We combined some camping in the Serengeti with a stay in a terrific lodge in the Crater. Our driver/guide and our cook both did wonderful jobs. Warrior Expeditions owner -- Pasa -- also checked in on us and arranged for transportation to and from the Kilimanjaro airport. Highly recommended and good value for $ spent!

Amazing Experience, Excellent Guide
Me and my friends recently returned from a 3 Day Kruger Park Safari with Wild Wings Safaris. First of all, the booking was easy, I had many questions and changed options many times and they were always polite and friendly and quick to respond. The tour itself was incredible. Our guide Simon was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and even a great cook. I would recommend this company to all. I hope we get the change to go back and use Wild Wings Safaris again in the future.

A professional, reliable and helpful tour operator
I booked my Tanzanian safari through Safari Infinity after receiving 4 different quotes. I found Lucia, one of the owners, to be prompt and helpful with each communication. Throughout the process I was very pleased with the suggestions made and information provided. I felt that the safari itinerary overview provided detailed information about what to expect in each location.
Once in Tanzania we were thrilled to meet our guide, Kelly. He is a wonderful, expert guide who entertained us throughout our safari. We were met in Arusha by Kelly, and then later also met Lucia and Simon. This was a wonderful, personal touch that allowed us to put a face to the name.
Even while on safari Lucia was never far away; keeping in touch with Kelly to check on our progress (one day we just had to brag about all of the amazing things we had seen!), providing us with a credited mobile phone in case of emergency (which was highly valued as a family member needed to have a heart operation) and providing assistance to us even after our "safari" aspect of the trip concluded (we included Zanzibar and a fly-in visit to Selous).
We had some unforgettable moments while on safari, made even more special by sharing it with Kelly. As a guide he has been our favourite (we have also travelled in Kenya). He knows how to approach the animals to provide the best viewing and is also mindful of getting the best light to capture the best images. Kelly had a thorough knowledge of all the areas that we travelled to, resulting in us been the first ones to spot lions, leopards (male and female mated 3 times), jackal pups and cheetahs (mother and her cub playing and then Mum hunted for and caught breakfast).
For our safari we travelled to Arusha (2 nights), Tarangire (2), Ngorongoro Crater (2), Northern Serengeti (4), Zanzibar (5) and Selous (3 nights).
I would highly recommend you book with Safari Infinity and request Kelly as your guide. You will not be disappointed!

10-day Safari in Kenya & Tanzania - Fantastic Experience!
We recently went on a 10-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Big Time Safaris Ltd. The process from start to finish was fantastic. In the early planning process they helped us cater the tour to cover exactly where we wanted to go and package it to our budget and time constraint. The staff (especially Martha) was quick to respond to us and helpful in all communication. When we arrived, they were so friendly and made sure we were very comfortable throughout our stay. Our tour guide Wanjau was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and really made our trip a once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for the best safari company.

The power of nature and a wonderful culture...karibu in Tanzania!!
We chose to go on a Safari in Tanzania as a destination of our honeymoon...A Safari in Africa was a dream of mine since I was a child, and what we actually lived was even better than my dream! Savannah Exploreres, especially Rama, our guide, made our week spent in Tanzania the most moving experience in our lives. The Nature is so powerful that makes you stir, Rama explained us everything about the animals and about Tanzanian culture, which now we are in love with!! A good guide makes the difference, and in our week spent together, Rama has become our friend (or better, our "rafiki", since we lernt also some words in swahili!!)
We completed our journey with a 4-day stay in Zanzibar, in the peaceful village of Uroa...beautiful seaside and another great cultural experience...now we know that "African homesikness" exists...and there is no treatment for it...just thinking of the next journey to Africa!! Thanks to Savannah Explorers we made our dream true...Asante sana!!!

Outstanding experience
Our safari with Natural Track safaris was outstanding. During the organising phase Elisabeth kept in contact with me and never tired answering my frequent questions. She always came up with a good solution to my queries. The safari itself was well organised, we were met at the airport by Michael, our driver, who took very well care of myself and my daughter during our 11 days travel through Kenya. The hotels and lodges we were booked in exceeded my expectation and the wildlife and vistas we saw were stunning. Michael was very knowledgeable and patient, never hurried and always out to show us the best wildlife. He drove very safely and our car was excellent for the purpose. I could not have wished for a more successful and satisfying safari.

Amazing trip!
We are so happy that we chose Encounter Africa Safaris! This trip was so well organized, and we had no issues at all, which - to be honest - really surprised me. But what a nice surprise :)
Day 1: Arrival
We got picked up from our hotel in Entebbe early in the morning, and started the long drive to Bwindi forest. Our driver, Hassan, was super nice and knowledgeable. We had lots of questions on our way to Bwindi and he answered them all very well. He told us about plants, animals, culture and the life in Uganda. The trip took about 10 hours, but it really didn't feel that way. We arrived in Bwindi late in the evening, and was welcomed by the staff at Nkuringo Gorilla Camp. They served us a delicious 4-course dinner and some nice wine.
Day 2: Gorilla trekking
We got up early and had a really nice breakfast. Then the ladies from Nkuringo Gorilla Camp gave us our packed lunch, then we were off. We drove for about an hour to attend the introduction meeting we had to have before the trekking. We then drove back towards Nkuringo, and started our trip up the mountain. We walked for about 2 hours before we found the gorillas. I am still amazed by the moment when I first saw the gorilla. And it wasn't just a gorilla - it was a beautiful silverback! My heart pounded so hard for the next 3 hours - I was that excited. In the end, we saw 2 silverbacks and 12 other gorillas, even a little baby :)
After the trekking, we went back to Nkuringo to have dinner which was even more amazing than the day before. We were sitting around the fire talking about our gorilla experience for hours and hours.
Day 3: Departure
After breakfast we started on the long way back to Entebbe. We stopped on the way to take photos of the zebras that Hassan pointed out for us, and even got a sightseeing trip in Kampala before going to the airport, because Hassan felt sorry for us (our flight was not until 5 AM) and wanted to let us stay in the car for as long as possible (the EBB airport is really not great... :/). When we got the airport we sat down in the waiting area, and after one hour we suddenly saw Hassan coming in. We didn't understand why - his job was done so why wasn't he at home? Turned out we had left our GoPro in the car (he found out when he got home), so Hassan drove all the way back to the airport to give it back to us. What a great man :)
So thank you Encounter Africa Safaris for making our trip amazing, especially Jerry who has helped us from day 1. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.
But, we will come back, and we will definitely use Encounter Africa Safaris then as well!:)
