A trip which ticks all the boxes. A dream.
Our trip with jockey tours was amazing.
Our guide Khalifa was amazing and really made our Safarai brillant. He got us to see all the big 5 along with a leopard attack. Along with all the big 5s cubs such an amazing journey being so close to such animals.
The Accom along the way was great as well as the food which was all super value for money.
Could not recommend more to Safarai with jockey and ask for khalifa a top guy and a great guide.

Kenya visit
I recently visited kenya. We travelled with the help of David's comoanu and Loved the service and friendly behaviour of all the staff. All the guides were very experienced and mainly Alan who was our guide for Masaimara was very friendly and he helped us to create beautiful memories on our first trip to kenya.
Hats off to David and his team 🙏🫡

Excellent experience
Before coming to Kenya, we thought this country would be hot, but this feeling was not right when we arrived. The climate is cool, the natural landscape is green and so beautiful. The tours to the Masai Masa and Nakuru lake conservation areas are very interesting, the tour guides are experienced and enthusiastic. Manager Jancita is very hospitable to her guests. Good hotel, delicious meals.
My overall feelings are very satisfied with the trip.

great safari experience
Our group of friends had an unforgettable safari experience. Our guide Mbwana knew every possible road through the vast Serengeti and knew where to take us to make sure we saw every type of animals there in the park. The camps in the bush were all quite good with tasty food and basic but good facilities. Every day was an adventure. We had two small children in our group and Francis paid special care to make sure they were comfortable and happy. Our trip could not have gone better and we highly recommend this tour company and especially our guide Mbwana.

Better than I could have dreamed!!
Highly recommend! I just got back from a 5-day curated itinerary with All in Africa Safaris, and it far exceeded any and all expectations I had for the trip, which included gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, visiting the Batwa people, a guided boat tour down the Kazinga Channel with elephants and hippos, and 2 game drives through Queen Elizabeth National Park. It was my first time in Uganda (and Africa), and it was fantastic. Accommodations were better than I would have picked out for myself, the itinerary was full but not overwhelming, and my guide Ksam was the best. As a solo female traveler, Ksam made me feel safe, advocated for, and kept me well-fed. I cannot thank him enough for making the trip so amazing. When I got back to my home base in Entebbe, Ksam worked with Nicholas to add a bonus day in Kampala to my itinerary, which was unexpected but such a great add-on to learn more about Ugandan history and culture.

AMAZING!!!!
We decided to do the Kilimanjaro Trek and the 3 day Safari with trek2kili because they are fully licensed, insured, and I had an adventure of a lifetime!!
Every day on the mountain is different. Some days were very challenging, but every day was so worth it. AND I was honored to meet such amazing people during this journey - the porters (that carry equipment and large duffle bags, prepare camp and always willing to hold your hand), the guides Andrew and Amnnaay kept me on a pole pole, slow, slow mode with big smiles on their faces, and thanks to that I summited Kilimanjaro feeling great and strong.
Every single member of the trek2kili team were amazing from the cooks that prepare fresh nutritious meals 3 times a day, and pack snacks for you, our host, Izungo, who gives the best hugs and brings you hot water for washy, washy and hot drinking water for tea, coffee or hot chocolate while you get ready in your tent. The admiration I have for these beautiful people is UNMATCHED.
The Safari guide Octavian went above and beyond, he is experienced and extremely knowledgeable, he took us to the best spots to experience wildlife and all the majestic creatures in their natural habitat, we saw 43 lions. We were even lucky enough to see all of the big 5 - the African Elephant, African Buffalo, Rhino, Leopard, and Lion.
Thank you Trek2kili and Aventure Discover Tanzania, I will cherish this experience forever!

A beautiful adventure
Last month, we had the incredible opportunity to spend four days in Rwanda, exploring its stunning wildlife with Peter from Silver Bird as our guide.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Peter guided us through each visit, sticking to the planned schedule with precision and without any hiccups.
We visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial and then traveled north to seek out the majestic mountain gorillas and the enchanting golden monkeys.
Throughout the journey, Peter was exceptionally accommodating, fulfilling some of our special requests and even adding a few extra stops.
Our experience exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend Silver Bird for planning your adventure.

Not listened to, safaris cut short despite my requests.
Very disappointed with the guide David in Tanzania. Did the Manyera park safari quickly. The guide did not stop at the sight of animals and even less in time for my photographs. Transport time too long which shortens our safaris. It does not overtake heavy vehicles and maintains 40-50 km/h and necessarily reduces its speed on slopes. Parc Manyera was very quick. I had to ask him if he was in a hurry because he was driving 40km/h in the park and wouldn't stop when he saw animals. He walked back slowly to the entrance of the park to take another path. To finally turn back this way quickly and return to the entry point because he had to leave at 6 p.m. No satisfaction for this outing which was agreed in the contract with Tours Chanteclerc. A visit with the boss of Classic journey informing us of the tip to give to the guide at the amount of $20/day. In addition, no one was at the designated restaurant of the head office, I received a spaghetti with tomato sauce instead of a pizza ordered. Unnecessary meeting in my opinion. I don't need to be told how much I should pay a guide and especially when I'm dissatisfied
The guide in Kenya (Moise) was excellent in every way. Very much appreciated this guide. He also deserved an excellent tip from me.

Amazing Experience and Service
I highly recommend Wanderlust Safaris. We had an exceptional experience. Our guides were knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything we wanted. We're spent a majority of our time on drives and we had so much fun. Our camp was super comfortable and unique. It far surpassed our expectations. The food was delicious and we felt very cared for.

Home to Africa Tours served as the complete tour company from introduction to tour completion.
Home to Africa provided a portal to the beauty of Uganda for our two adult daughters, their spouses, and my wife and me. We had much trepidation and concern prior to engaging their services. After communicating with them, reading the reviews of other travelers, and discussing with our party members, we made the trip and were very pleased with the total experience. Karim (pronounced KA-REEM) retrieved us from the airport at 0230 with a smile and reassuring, calming demeanor. We saw rhinos, elephants, water buffalo, leopard, lions, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles and a wide range of other animals that support and allow the ecosystem to flourish in several parks. We got up and personal with chimpanzees and mountain gorillas, an experience that our group may never have another chance to experience in our lifetimes. Our budget-midrange lodging provided us warm and welcoming hospitality and service, and there was always warm, tasty and comforting food for nourishment. During our trip, our guide, Karim's, mother passed away, and that's where we witnessed firsthand the care Home to Africa owners and management had in making sure Karim was able to travel home to be with his family and address his late mother's affairs, while ensuring we had another competent guide assume the guide role for our trip. This may seem trivial to us in more modern countries, but in the bush, hundreds of miles away from mass transportation, this was quite the logistics achievement. Home to Africa, provided us a safe and memorable experience that I know our family will be talking about and remembering fondly for the rest of our lives. We appreciated their prompt and thorough communication, attentiveness, and great guide service provided by Karim before his departure.
