Madagascar is a unique country in the world, 13 days in Madagascar in mid-July
Travel is not all about comfort but it’s all part of the adventure. We had a lot of fun on our trip, we were a group of friends of 5 people. The agency offered us a trip according to our budget, the hotel is average category, not all hotels are welcoming but the main thing is that we had everything. What I loved was the sunset over the baobab avenues, it was magical and exceptional. Thanks to our guide Gervais, and our driver Rija, funny and professional people. Thanks also to Theresia, the agency manager who is always available for us and always satisfies our requests. Madagascar we will come back for another tour :)!

A very friendly professional company

Accommodation was amazing, and the food wonderful. The driver was knowledgeable and again very friendly. Whilst on Safari driver listened to what we wanted to see and do. Cannot praise them enough. Once in a lifetime experience and glad we went with peak seasons

Outstanding company and service ensured an unforgettable experience and the holiday of a lifetime!
My husband, son and I have just experienced the trip of a lifetime organised by Speke Uganda & Rwanda and our UK tour operator Turquoise Holidays. We spent four wonderful days gorilla trekking and seeing the golden monkeys in the Virunga National Park in Rwanda staying at the breathtakingly beautiful Virunga Lodge as our base.
We would like to give a special mention to our outstanding guides, Gerard and Africano, with our local agents Speke Holidays Uganda & Rwanda. They accompanied us from the moment we arrived at Kigali airport, throughout our trip each day until our return flight. Their warm welcome, extensive knowledge, passion for their countries and wildlife as well as their genuine care for us made this an unforgettable experience and one we will treasure for a lifetime. All of our needs and requests were fulfilled and they showed marked flexibility and understanding in ensuring our itinerary was just perfect. They are both very special people and a credit to their company and country. Our sincere gratitude will remain with them always. As we left them at the airport to return home, we sensed we would hold their presence forever in our hearts.

Unforgettable Kenyan Adventure with Exceptional Service
Our three families (13 pax) had the most incredible trip to Kenya, exploring Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Amboseli. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and memorable, thanks to the meticulous travel arrangements and the selection of hotels.
A special mention must go to our tour operator, Judy. Her dedication and commitment were truly impressive. When Kenyan Airways left our checked-in baggage in Dubai, Judy went above and beyond to ensure it was delivered to our hotel in Masai Mara. Her assistance was invaluable, and she made what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and manageable one.
The accommodations were excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the wildlife experiences were beyond our expectations.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable Kenyan adventure. Kudos to Judy and the entire team for making our trip so special!
Helpful Tips for Future Travelers
1. If you're flying with Kenyan Airways, be mindful of your checked-in luggage. We faced a delay with our bags left in Dubai. Pack essentials in your carry-on just in case.
2. Your safari experience largely depends on your safari driver. Be choosy in that.

Very good
The guys at Suricata are spectacular. We did a 5-day safari (4 nights) with a stay in a lodge.
Everything was excellent from the welcome, to the lodges, to the food.
We recommend booking directly with them without going through agencies.
Last mention for the guys who accompanied us and for those at the lodges: we left a piece of our heart there.

Spectacular Safari with a Great Guide
We just returned from a fantastic safari and Zanzibar beach holiday with Serengeti Smile. The safari experience was truly spectacular, especially thanks to our amazing guide Joseph. In addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of the wildlife and his eagle eye for spotting animals in the bush, Joseph enriched us with his perspectives on Tanzanian culture, history and politics—and his great sense of humor. By the end of our safari, we felt that we had made a real friend in Joseph, through many hours of conversation in transit, over meals and even drinks at a local bar in Karatu on our last safari day (at our request, thanks Joseph!).
The comprehensive itinerary was well designed, covering the awe-inspiring, diverse landscapes of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. While we weren't lucky enough to catch the Great Migration, we came home with countless memorable moments, including two male giraffes fighting neck-to-neck, more lions than we expected to see, a wildebeest stampede at sundown and elephants so close you could practically touch them. The quality of the accommodation and food throughout was exceptional. Many thanks to Albert for his engaged responsiveness both in the planning stages and during our trip.

A perfect safari with sightings of all the big five thanks to knowledge, contacts and efforts.
The Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club (KASC) made all efforts to provide the best possible safari experience through a very knowledgeable guide, Justin, who seemed to know all the other guides and thereby obtained tips about sightings of animals through continued contacts. Justin was also very responsible and helpful to other Safari participants who had run into problems like flat tyres, which I suppose contribute to being on excellent terms with so many other guides. As a result we saw loads of animals, both the ones easily visible in very good perspectives and the most rare and difficult to spot, like leopards, including all the big five.
Justin and the KASC were also extremely helpful and saved no efforts in getting my suitcase, which KLM /Air France had lost on the way from Europe, all the way up to Serengeti from Zanzibar.
In our programme (mid range/luxury) some of the hotels were more luxurious than others but they were all very nice and situated in a wonderful environment. They all also made great efforts to adapt to food intolerance etc and the staff was very nice.

Amazing day, really well organised
I booked the Radisson package with moafrica and it was lovely. The hotel is amazing and the coordination to get me everywhere was incredibly smooth. I always know where to be and when, and they even called the hotel to have them remind me in the evening.
My Kruger tour was lead by Stan and he was amazing. Really cheerful and found so many animals! I really recommend the company and the package.
