unforgettable 4-day safari in the Serengeti with Nkollo Tours & Safaris
We had an unforgettable 4-day safari in the Serengeti with Nkollo Tours & Safaris. Our guide, Emmanuel, was simply amazing—a charming, calm, and patient guy who answered every single question we had. His professional knowledge of the wildlife and nature made the experience truly special. We felt in good hands the entire time. Highly recommended!"

Highly recommendable!
We had an amazing 5-day safari experience with Meru Slopes. From the very beginning, communication with the company was excellent.
The safari itself was fantastic. Our guide and cook took care of all the practical details, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience.
Overall, this safari was absolutely worth the money, and we highly recommend Meru Slopes to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized safari adventure.
A special thank you to Lobulu and Buka. I have been on this exact trip twice with Lobulu as my guide and he is phenomenal. Together with Buka as our cook, they made the perfect and most authentic safari experience you can imagine. THANK YOU 🙏🏻

Excellent, great communication, provide good operator, camps and guide
Lydia has been so helpful with everything, the Communications are great. I was really lucky in amboseli to have view almost everything. Kilimanjaro with giraffe in front of our camp, lioness and cubs, even hunting cheetahs. Thanks to the guide, Anthony I had a great pictures of kili and lions and elephants in one frame just as I wanted. Eventhough there was a little misscommunication about dropping off Arusha, and some glitch with the shuttle, but doesn't really matter. They make sure I got through the border fine. They even offer an upgrade, and give me a heads up about the camping, and I was really satisfied with the mid range camp and lodge, didnt have to do the basic camping. Serengeti and ngorongoro crater was great. The guide Isaac in Tanzania was marvelous, even Saw the rhino. And the Tanzanian team make sure that my shuttle is not like the ones before, even got lucky to be dropped off at the hotel in nairobi.

Our guides were very good and funny, and explaining everything very well to us!
We had a great time at Safari through Mankq Safaris solutions! They were very helpful and with everything from start to finish. We chose a 3-day safari with Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Lake Maynara, and it was everything we hoped for! We saw so many animals up close, such as lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, cheetah, sebras and so much more! It was of great value for the money, specially with the budget solution. We hade nice breakfast, lunch and dinner included and tour guides who were very social, funny, and nice. I can really recommend using Manka Safari Solutions if you want an excellent safari experience with great guides, reliability and value for money!

This safari experience was truly beyond all expectations.
We were incredibly lucky and got to see all the animals we had hoped for, and more. Seeing elephants up close was so nice, watching giraffes move so gracefully across the landscape and spotting lions in their natural habitat was an unforgettable moment. We were even fortunate enough to see cheetahs, which was something I never expected to experience so clearly and closely. The landscape itself was stunning, and being out in the wild, surrounded by such powerful and beautiful animals, was an experience that was very special! The guide was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and professional. They shared fascinating information about the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem, while also making sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and fully engaged throughout the safari. You could really tell how much they cared about both the wildlife and giving us the best possible experience.
Overall, this safari was far beyond anything I imagined. It exceeded every expectation I had and left me with memories I will treasure forever. If you are considering a safari, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, it is absolutely worth it and truly once in a lifetime.

Extremely bad experience with the Tour Team's planning
Echoing some other travellers concerns, there were things several things that are terribly planned. If the owner (Gashaw) asks you if you wish to let him book your flight on your behalf, do NOT get him to book it for you. Both my guide and I suffered as we had to run in and out the domestic terminal security gates, rebook all the domestic tickets since he booked my Ethiopian flights using Ethiopian National, and he did not add my international Ethiopian airline flight in. In the end, I had to repay all the tickets.
Flights impacted: Addis -> Gondar, Gondar -> Addis, Addis -> Lalibela, Lalibela -> Addis, Addis -> Merkele, Mekele -> Addis (6 tickets)
When I contacted him to get him to pay my guide the money, he tried to feign ignorance and even not returning the call. There was a cancellation of Gondar -> Lalibela flight, causing a huge delay. Requested his assistance to provide the itinerary outline to me to claim against insurance, but no response for 2 months. Missed my flight from Mekele to Addis due to the domestic ticket issue and had to stay extra night incurring additional costs. This is an extremely unprofessional behavior as the issue was not rectified immediately from the 1st instance or 2nd instance. It continued to be an issue for 6 times. This whole delay caused me to miss my cross-continental international flight out of Addis as well.
Do NOT book this Tour, if it goes smoothly, it is luck, and the ill-planning by Gashaw has caused huge losses to me and guide, till now no response has been given.

An experience that makes me want to return to Ethiopia
The tour to the Omo Valley tribes turned out to be a broader and more interesting experience than I initially expected.
The tour was very well organized. Robel was always one step ahead, and Taye proved to be an excellent driver. I believe they were able to adapt to our interests and pace. It is also worth highlighting how meaningful it was to have local guides for each of the tribes and for other activities.
In a one-week trip, we came to know many different worlds. Different tribes, languages, customs, and traditions. In many cases, it was more than just getting to know them—it was also an opportunity to reflect on our own lifestyle.
I highly recommend Omo Valley Experience Tours, and after this tour, I am certain that I want to return to Ethiopia.
