I went bananas about Uganda
I just spent ten days in Uganda, courtesy of Grassrootz with Patrick as driver/guide. Over 2000km travelled, enough to give an excellent overview of the country. Was met with friendliness everywhere and widespread English-speaking, a benefit to an anglophone monoglot. Lush countryside but the climate was comfortable for a European, one being over 1000m altitude most of the time. Much of the wildlife was quite different from adjacent countries such as Kenya and Tanzania. One could get close up and personal with wildlife, ranging from white rhinos to chimpanzees to banded mongooses. The Murchison Falls in full flow were awe-inspiring. The Kazinga Channel was notable for its plethora of animals and birds. Two of my stays were in tented camps, with private facilities, which provided extra intimacy with the natural environment. But at all stays there was an abundance of wildlife, ranging from butterflies to elephants. My guide/driver Patrick was excellent, invariably courteous and well able to answer any questions. I was a single traveller but never felt unsafe. I also came to learn the importance of bananas to the local economy!

Customer oriented tour operator
Lilly helped us to organize a 13 day self drive along Namibia letting us discover and visit the most famous place of this amazing country.
The cars we had were well equipped and well maintained.
Lilly helped us to solve some problems we have at the last minute communicating with her in a very simple way. I can not give 5 stars ( this make also the review more realistic)because one of my request has been not realized, I asked to organized a night in a private reserve where predators are present (was my dream), unfortunately the location selected (new) was in an wonderful place but empty of animals. Lilly tried to help to solve the problem but was too late. BTW is a trustable agency that works in a good way.

5/5 Stars - Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Experience!
We recently went to Masai Mara Safari along with my family (5 members). We stayed for 5 nights/6 days. The tour was arranged by Twinkle Tours and Safaris, and I must say, it was truly an experience of a lifetime! From the initial planning stages to the execution, James at Twinkle Star took care of everything. He was very professional, prompt in his responses to any questions, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of.
The safari itself was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and unforgettable moments that will stay with us forever. Our guide and driver Daniel was knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled, making sure we got the most out of our time in Masai Mara.
We had a wonderful stay at the La Maison Royale Mara Camp. The rooms and washrooms were clean, and their service was awesome. The hotel staff was always ready to go over and beyond and made sure that our requests were taken care of. The view from our Balcony was breathtaking. We could see the wildlife from there.
I will highly recommend Twinkle tours to anyone looking to plan Masai Mara safari adventure. Their expertise, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences make them truly exceptional.

Best time we ever had!
It was the best experience we ever had! The guide was very nice and patient, always on time! The car was very clean every day, they serve good food and the drinks were always very cold! We had wi-fi and book guides to read about the animals in the car! We saw the big five and we could see the great wildebeest migration! Lomo was always very helpful to sort anything we needed through WhatsApp, Erasto, Annette and Hellen were great! Don’t have anything to complain! Just have good memories and we already want to come back! Our guide was David, and we miss him a lot!

Review of Our Incredible Honeymoon Safari Experience with Karibu Travel
We just returned from an unforgettable two-week honeymoon in Zanzibar, and I can confidently say that our experience was absolutely extraordinary, thanks to our travel agent, Shivangi, from Karibu Travel and Service.
From the very beginning, Shivangi went above and beyond to ensure our trip was seamless. She was a joy to work with and incredibly responsive, staying in contact throughout our vacation. This was immensely reassuring, especially since we were in a foreign country where we didn’t know anyone. Shivangi guided us towards trustworthy locals, making us feel safe and well taken care of.
While my research was minimal, Shivangi took care of every detail and planned a wonderful week and a half-long itinerary on Zanzibar Island. She made sure to book us into different hotels, allowing us to experience the best that the island had to offer. One of the highlights was our stay at Zuri Zanzibar, where we enjoyed the luxury of private bungalows. The setting was perfect and truly felt like paradise.
Shivangi even arranged for us to have upgrades at several hotels, calling ahead to ensure everything was perfect for our stay. One of my favorite memories was the private beach dinners she organized as a surprise for my wife, which added a beautiful romantic touch to our honeymoon.
We also had the opportunity to enjoy a safari experience, which was simply amazing. We had a private 4X4 vehicle, complete with a friendly and knowledgeable driver who made our safari truly unforgettable.
In short, our honeymoon was a dream come true. Shivangi’s expertise and dedication made all the difference, and I can't recommend her and Karibu Travel enough. If you’re looking for a personalized travel experience filled with incredible moments, look no further!

Efficient, friendly, welcoming with attention to detailto detail
From start to finish of a 5-day tour of the Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park, Marvel and Busani were brilliant. Accommodation, travel arrangements and liaison with partners (e.g. Hwange guide and lodge) were all excellent. Accommodation was great in both locations. And Marvel and Busani went the extra mile and mothing was too.much trouble. All at prettyvresdonable cost. We'd highly recommend the company.
