Mountain Gorilla in Bwindi Impenetrable National park
Travel Explore Africa Safaris (T.E.A) planned for us a great safari 8 days/7 night’s safaris to Track in PNV and Bwindi impenetrable National park. Everything was well planned and organized -- which we appreciated! And, we highly recommend Wilson Bisaso as a driver! Not only is he an excellent driver with a very good solid car, he is God fearing and very personable and knowledgeable. He is willing to go the "extra mile" for the customer. Really his calm demeanor and reliable services made our tour/trip seamless.
For lodging, we loved the Mountain gorilla view lodge and the Chameleon Hill Inn. These were both highlights. We did two gorilla treks -- one at Volcanoes Park in Rwanda and one at the Bwindi Forest in Uganda. Both were amazing. The guides and rangers were very informative. We were glad to be able to trek in both countries, as the experiences were different. If you go on these "hikes", bring hiking boots if possible, as the terrain is very slippery. There are no "trails" -- the guide simply clears the forest using a machete. And, the gorillas don't follow any set routes. Be sure to hire a porter as well. These local people are very helpful and they depend on the income.

The service with regards the booking was efficient and friendly.
All of the arrangements worked out well. We saw several different parks across two countries and all ran as smoothly as could be expected. The drivers were authentically knowledgeable and interested.
I would recommend this company. They do their best to make everything special.

With Wildlife Safaris you are in good hands
My son and I did the 4 day classic Safari. From the first exchanges, through the Q&As, organisational aspects, paperwork and tour itself Wildlife Safaris were responsive, helpful and very professional. We were a group of 6. Hoppy was a great guide, very friendly and good humoured. He was worried that the food at the camp might not be good, but it was perfect. We saw all the big five, and much more: cheetah, hyenas....Standard accommodation (bungalows) was well equipped and tidy. Weather was cold in the morning and evening and pleasant during the day. Day 4 consisted mainly in a quick last safari on the way out, breakfast and travel back. Hoppy is a fast driver who should keep more distance with the vehicles in front. I am satisfied with Wildlifesafaris and happily recommend them.

Great safari, lots of wildlife.
The communication we received with the company was very good in the run up to the trip. All emails were answered promptly and efficiently. The safari went reasonably smoothly and we saw lots of wildlife, as we had hoped. The tour guide, Stanley,was very helpful and was able to identify most of the wildlife we saw. He worked hard to make our safari pleasant and comfortable. The travelling between the parks was very lengthy and I think it is better to spend longer in each park rather than to try and fit too much in and end up spending an awful lot of time in the safari van. The roads are not good and the traffic often very heavy too. The accommodation ranged from quite good hotels to basic tented camps. Upgrades might be preferred in these cases. The company provides good value for money compared with other quotes we received. I would recommend this company to others.

We are very lucky and we see all kind of animal in Mikumi.
The driver was really kind and helpful.

Flexible and nimble staff
We requested Africa-Zim to organize a tour for us to Vic Falls and a visit to Chobe park in Botswana. We gave them 3 days to complete arrangements, and we began the trip at the end of the 3rd day. It was a moderately priced trip and we got excellent value for money. We had an afternoon to see Vic Falls then went onto Chobe park where we had 1 night at Water Lily lodge (4 star) in Kasane, 2 nights camping in a tent in Chobe, with the elephants and lions nearby, and 2 nights back in Kasane at Toro lodge (3 star). Our connections throughout were all done well and the people at each place knew Blessing quite well. I give this team 5 stars for their resourcefulness and good services.

Wonderful experience. Value for money.
Dear Jaoa,
It was a wonderful experience we had at Tanzania, thanks to you & your wonderful team. We had a great time during the safaries we took. Of course food was a little bit of a problem as we don't take beef & pork. The overall experience was quite good. The driver / guide was very accomodating. We were with three kids, but still the driver had adhered to a flexible timetable which was really appreciated. The stay was quite ok, considering the remotness of the region. The vehicle provided was quite good, except a small hitch one day. Thank you very much for a nice and wonderful family vacation. We will definately recommend you to anyone who wants to go for Tanzanian Safari. I will send a few other snaps.

Tour around Kenya - Big 5
Seven by far is a professional service provider and they have a facility of arranging travels in a very short span of time. Timely and speedy responses from them are guaranteed and the service levels are up to the mark. I would like to really recommend our guide - Nicholas, who is so well learnt and so passionate about his work. He knows Kenya inside out and is a friendly and approachable person. We really enjoyed our 6 days around Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Naivasha.

Good Safari
We had a great safari with Northern Circuit Adventure with 9 people & 2 cars. First we had a organisation who was cheating us, i'm glad we found this company and we can trust this company. We stayed at Sakina Campsite. Robbert, a very nice guy of Sakina Campsite, introduced this company.
In one hour we booked our safari, the director of Norther Circuit Adventure just asked his wife to make 9 lunchboxes as fast as possible. So sweet.
Our trip (5 days, 4 nights, based camp) was great!!! We saw the big 5. Unfortunately we were very lucky to see the Rhino. Very far away, but we saw him!!! We saw so many lions, buffalo's, cheetah, elephants and pumba's. And so close to the car. :)
The only thing that could be better.... We had not enough of water at our trip. They said: 1,5 Liter pp a day. We didn't have that much bottles... In fact we should bring our own water bottles because we ran out of water....
Thanks Director, Guides and Chefs!

We enjoyed 10 days in Uganda
I would like to recommend Travel Explore Africa as well! We spent 10 days with them going on gorilla safari. It was very well organized and all the staff members were very professional, making sure all the questions and queries were responded in the most professional way. I really liked Diana, I delt with her when making the bookings via e-mails, lovely and very cheerful lady! Thank you so much Sweetie Diana! JJJ
