It was a truly wonderful moment
We recently had the pleasure of joining Abner Safaris for a 3 day trip to Amboseli National Park. This adventure was an incredible experience for us. Amboseli National Park is one of the most historic places in Kenya. We were lucky enough to see a lot of wildlife here including elephants, lions, cheetahs, buffalo and numerous species of birds. The view of Mount Kilimanjaro was not only breathtaking but also breathtaking. It is one of the most amazing places on earth. We did not make a mistake by booking a trip with Abner Safaris. We got everything they told us and thanked them so much for giving us such a memorable adventure. For such a professional, well-organized, and heartwarming safari experience.

Provided a wonderful and memorable trip!
I recently went on an 8 day Victoria Falls/Botswana safari planned by Compass Odyssey. My friends and I had a wonderful time, and I really enjoyed the itinerary and the 3 lodges recommended by Compass Odyssey. Darren was very helpful with the planning and very responsive to my questions. The guides were all terrific, and I would definitely recommend Compass Odyssey for trips in Africa.

Very good, informative tour.
Our your guide, Thomas, was knowledgeable and professional. We learned a lot about the history of Soweto. Highly recommend.

Professional, personal, phenomenal and trustworthy - we can't recommend them enough!
We had the most phenomenal time on safari with Afrikan Accent Adventures and we cannot recommend them enough.
We were a little unsure with what to book when looking for a safari, as there is so much choice out there and it is hard to know that you are going to be guaranteed a good experience or how reliable it will be. After looking for a while on SafariBookings we decided to send a booking enquiry. Hellen replied to us promptly and with a thorough amount of detailed information. We only had a short amount of time on safari as we were attending a wedding in Nairobi after, so wanted to make the most of going. We were able to customise our package in terms of what we did, where we went, and when we did it. The tailoring to our own budget, schedule and plans was really easy and made possible by Hellen. Because of this, we decided to go with the company. Hellen sent our itinerary and was in regular contact leading up to the booking, and once we had landed.
We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi by Nicholas, our tour guide for the duration, and also met Hellen. We were given personalised gifts which caught us by surprise and added to the excitement. Nico then embarked on our long drive to Masai Mara. We were very lucky to have the vehicle and Nico to ourselves for the duration of the safari, making things even more personal. The vehicle was perfect for the long journey, with comfy reclining seats, loads of water, and a couple of comfort stops along the way - one of which being a great viewpoint. The time actually did fly by, with Nioo giving us an insight into the areas we drove through.
We arrived into Masai Mara and had no issues getting through. Our lodge (Mara Serena) was a bit of a drive once inside, meaning we got to see a lot of animals on the way in! We had shuffled our itinerary slightly and had the game drive first, before we were then taken to our lodge, which was absolutely beautiful. We won't talk too much about the hotel here as it was one of many options available through booking with AAA, but will definitely recommend it.
The next day, we had the hot air balloon safari, with some of the other hotel guests. This is an absolute must-do and was beautiful and serene. We then landed for a champagne breakfast, before being returned to our hotel to go on another game drive with Nico. We then parked up for lunch in the plains of the Masai Mara, which was totally surreal. We then had an afternoon game drive before returning to the hotel.
We did get very lucky with seeing a lot of wildlife, however we must give credit to Nico, who went above and beyond to take us round and seek out more and more. He was in comms with the other safari tour guides to listen out for any tips, but seemed to know where to go without them anyway! The vehicle was the best out of the ones I saw in terms of how it is kitted out for safari.
Our final day, we were taken for breakfast by the Hippo river, and then back to Nairobi, incorporating a game drive on the way out again. We were then taken for lunch. This was meant to be at the Carnivore restaurant, however due to delays in crossing the Mara River due to it being too high, by the time we got to Nairobi Carnivore was closed. However, AAA organised somewhere similar and also very good for us to have lunch. We met with Hellen again and were given more gifts, before waving an emotional goodbye.
We were a little anxious in booking the trip purely due to not knowing how it would pan out, but have absolutely no regrets. AAA are amazing. The staff we met were such lovely people and did their utmost to ensure we had the best time. Everything described above was included in the package we booked - there were no surprise expenses or charges. We had so much included in what we paid for the trip, we couldn't really believe it. We would absolutely go again and recommend them to everyone. They were such amazing, genuine people and we felt lucky to meet them and spend time with them in the most beautiful of places.

A bit of delay in responding after payment but Soweto tour itself was educational
If you are ever in Jonnesburg, a tour to Soweto learning about apartheid is a must, in my personal opinion. Our guide, Tinyiko, is passionate and so very well versed in the history of apartheid, its fall as well as the development of the township. Which is a huge plus, along with opportunities to interact with local residents. The reason why I am giving 4 stars is that there was some delay in responding to my questions from the office after I had made payment. Nonetheless I'd still recommend MoAfrika for the Soweto Tour

Amazing tour by a world class operator, Savannah Explorers!
This safari was perfect! Our guide and driver, Emmanuel, was outstanding! He navigated to every animal we wanted to see. The lodges were great, clean with friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff! The food was delicious, the people very friendly, and the views incredible. Highly recommend Savannah Explorers!

My first Safari, Best time ever!
From the very beginning of this fantastic Safari, I knew it would be special. There was always great communication and I felt like my adult daughter and I were well taken care of. Our tour guide, Edward was the best ever. He was always professional, patient, and could answer our questions and anticipate our needs during the trip. I would ask for him personally when I visit again. The accommodations were awesome with food and staff that were top notch.
