Amazing Day at Hell's Gate and Krater Lake
We are a Family with three teenagers and had a wonderful day with our guide George. He has shown us great spots in Hell's Gate National Park and tell us interesting things about the region, the plants and the animals. Later we were at the Krater Lake, where we enjoyed a incredible lunch with seaview, before we walked to amazing view-points and through a magnifique nature area to see lots of animals. Georg is really a very committed and open guide who has a great knowledge about what he is doing. We can only recommend it and would do the tour with Georg again.

Excellent Trip
We chose this travel agency to arrange our trip because we wanted to combine both Mount Kilimanjaro trekking and a safari—and they delivered perfectly. The itinerary was well-designed, and all transportation throughout the trip was smooth and reliable.
During the trekking portion, our guide Living was highly professional. He conducted daily health checks, planned each day's schedule, and gave us clear advice on what to wear. He even helped carry our backpacks during the climb and kept our spirits high with songs along the way. The tents provided were top-notch, complete with a private flush toilet. The three meals a day were plentiful and delicious. Thanks to his support, we successfully reached Stella Point.
On the safari, our guide Festo was equally enthusiastic and responsible. He went out of his way to ensure we spotted the Big Five, and we were lucky enough to see them all! The lodge accommodations were luxurious, and both breakfast and dinner were served with great ceremony and style.
All in all, it was a truly wonderful trip!

Commendable effort for a memorable safari experience!
I had an amazing 11 days safari across Kenya and Tanzania. My plan of the safari started off by searching and contacting a few of the tour agents that have good reviews from Safari Booking website for their itinerary package proposals. My criteria for deciding on the tour agent was budget of proposal, promptness in response and flexibility in modifying itinerary to suit my travel plan. Global Threads Safaris attracted me because of their willingness to assist in making my trip come true. Madelyne of Global Threads had been the main figure in ironing out all questions before and during the safari to ensure a seamless and smooth journey throughout the 11 days starting from Nairobi in Kenya to land border crossing into Tanzania ending in Arusha. I thank her for the commendable effort she has provided me!
During the safari, I saw many wild animals including the Big Five and Ugly Five too. The daily game drives, transfer from park to park and the optional activities like Maasai village and hot air balloon experiences were well coordinated. For these, the credits go to the competent and experienced driver cum guide, Mike for Kenya part of safari and Kwabe for Tanzania part. They were the mainstay for me enjoying the game drives due to the ease in mutual communication and their knowledge of the animals and symbiotic relationship amongst some of these animals. Their extra effort provided in sighting as many animals as possible and in experiencing closer encounters with the animals had exceeded my expectation. I too wish to thank them for the job well done.
Lastly I would definitely recommend Global Threads to anyone who is interested in a memorable safari experience in Kenya, Tanzania or both.

The Guide Who Saved My Trip
I had the absolute trip of a lifetime with Arre Tours. I initially had booked with another tour guide but they were such a disappointment, and I'm so relieved I canceled with them and booked with Arre instead!
Arre is a guide like no other. His love for life and adventure is contagious. He's punctual, professional, and he's passionate about what he does and giving guests the absolute best experience possible. Over the course of two days, we visited key sights in Axum like Stelae Park, St. Mary of Zion Church, King Ezana's Tomb, and saw breathtaking landscapes. Nothing felt rushed or performative. He also included extra experiences beyond the itinerary, and those became some of the most enjoyable parts of my time in Axum.
What impressed me most was the level of care he brought to the experience. Arre consistently looked out for me, made sure my needs were met, and did so naturally and without any fuss. He had a way with people that put you instantly at ease, and it was obvious from the start that his real priority was making sure I truly enjoyed my time — and that, I certainly did!
I’m already planning another trip to Ethiopia, and the fact that I intend to book Arre Tours again says everything. Next time, I hope to book with him for other places I’m dying to see, like the Danakil Depression, the Tigray churches, and Gondar.
Arre is the real deal, and I'd recommend him to anyone without a second thought.

they listen to your need and adjust the itinerary accordingly. They are very responsive
Excellent Service from White Horse Safaris
After encountering some serious issues with our original tour operator, we were fortunate that our hotel management referred us to White Horse Safaris.
From the very beginning, they listened carefully to our concerns and understood exactly what we needed. They acted quickly and professionally to put together a new itinerary for us, despite the very short notice.
What impressed us most was that they went the extra mile to add Amboseli National Park to our itinerary and arranged the specific accommodation there that we wanted. Considering everything was organized at the last minute, the itinerary was very reasonable and thoughtfully planned.
We truly appreciated their responsiveness, flexibility, and willingness to accommodate our requests. They helped turn a very stressful situation into a much more enjoyable safari experience.
Thank you, White Horse Safaris, for your excellent service and for going above and beyond to make our trip work. We would definitely recommend them to other travelers looking for a reliable and responsive safari operator.

Wonderful experience
Sudi is a reliable guide with 20 years of experience. He knows how to find animals and secure the best locations. He is friendly, not talkative (to me it’s a plus) but quite knowledgeable - he recognizes every animal and is well-trained to understand their behaviors. Both hotels he chose (Golden Safari Camp & Karatu Villas Lodge) were very nice. We saw almost everything even the rarest ones. It was an unforgettable experience. I’d def recommend Dendea.

Amazing safari experience - into the wild
During the planning and booking process Filipa helped by answering any question and tailor the Safari to our wishes. During our visit we were fortunate to see lots of animals and enjoyed the game drives in a comfortable 4x4 car with open roof. If we had to pick a highlight it would be the first full day in Masai Mara with the early hot air balloon. Big recommendation to add the balloon flight to your itinerary! That being said, we loved every bit of it and were sad we had to leave. Special thanks in particular to Shuma (our guide) who looked after us exceptionally for the entire journey.
