Amazing experience!
I can’t count, how many times we could see lions in a very close range during our safari in Serengeti. Anthony knew exactly where to find them. He was our guide, organized our trip and without a doubt he did both of these tasks perfectly! We have seen the Big Five and lots of others animals, for example dozens of hippos, chilling in the water. Also, these four days of safari were a great lesson about the local flora and fauna.
I simply loved the place Anthony chose for us to stay, which is Pamoja Serengeti Luxury Camp. After our arrival, the manager ensured that the stuff wants us to “feel like home far from home”. And that really happened! The whole team, especially our concierge Jacob, was taking care of us perfectly. Our tent was very spacious, with a super comfortable bed. The food was delicious and prepared individually for us, bearing in mind that I’m vegan. I could stay in that place for a month!

Once in a lifetime safari experience!
We had our safari in Masai Mara in a perfect moment: during the Great Migration. Seeing thousands of wildebeest passing just next to us was a once in a lifetime experience. Although, during these four days, there were many other highlights, like watching how cheetahs hunt.
Experiencing that wouldn’t be possible without Chris, our great guide, who easily recognized animals in what for us was just a dot on the horizon. He not only has a big knowledge about Masai Mara, but also about all the animals which live there. Nevertheless, Chris was flexible, punctual, super friendly and drove the car without any discomfort to us (the roads are sometimes challenging).
Also, the accommodation was simply great. In Zebra Plains Mara Camp we were falling asleep listening to the sounds of nature and in Maria Serena Safari Lodge, which is perched on a hill, the view was simply breathtaking.
To sum up: the company went above and beyond to make sure we were having an amazing time. Everything was perfectly organized.

Provided memories for a lifetime!
We contacted three companies here on SafariBookings and choose Sunset due to price and their itinarary. We had really good communications with the company from the very beginning. Excellent English in every email and the possibility to transfer the deposit and final amount to a European bank (saving us a lot in exchange rates).
Our guide was punctual and knew a lot about the animals and parks. He seemed to know every guide, park ranger and employee at all of our stops, making us feel welcome and safe. He was also really good a finding the animals we wanted to see.
Our vehicle was old and did not seem as comfy as the others in the parks, however this was not really an issue for us - it was very authentic - but watch out for the hard brakes!! ;)
All in all, we had the adventure of a lifetime. Everything we hoped for - and more! And at a very reasonable price.

Very attentive to our wishes and needs and very personable.
Communication with Sarah Morris at Ker & Downey was extremely comfortable and helpful from the first time she contacted me. She arranged an itinerary for us according to our needs which fit perfectly and she adjusted for our feedback on the first suggested itinerary very well. The whole trip was a wonderful experience and very memorable in large part thanks to the good organisation and perfect choices for accommodation, transport and pace of trip. The whole team was attentive to us before and during the trip and made us feel very well taken care of. I could not recommend anyone better to organise a trip to Namibia.

Unforgettable!
James organized for us the classical package; Nairobi-Massai Mara-Diani Beach. Drivers were amazing, specially Jonathan at the Massai Mara. Hotels were rightly choosen.
A trip in my list to repeat with my kids!
Personalized and helpful attention to our trip
We loved our trip~ it was very special, and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. We are residents of both South Africa and USA, so we have experienced only "budget" safaris and the occasional travel splurge. This was a 5 start safari! But good value all the same. Karina, who helped us decide and book, covered all the info we needed, and kept us up to date. Highly recommended.

Great Trek
Taste of Afrika did a great job on our Kilimanjaro trek. Great guide and driver. Seka even arranged for our transport to the airport the next day and coordinated our PCR test. They took great care of us and we highly recommend them.

Incroyable !
Kilimanjaro and Safari with Meals: just incredible!
Popote is a local agency, with no European intermediary, and that's exactly what we were looking for. The exchange with Sabino was very easy, he was always available to answer all our questions quickly. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, whether for transfers or hotels.
KILIMANJARO
We climbed Kilimanjaro Machame route in 7 days. The whole team were great and caring to us from start to finish, with lots of attention throughout the stay.
The tent was very comfortable with good mattresses. The food was excellent with 3 hot meals a day, and plenty of it.
The ascent would not have been possible without our 2 extraordinary guides Mtey and Omari and without all the superb team of cooks and porters: Emmanuel the future guide, Jérémia the cook, Rachidi, Issa, Pau, Msorongo, Junia, Ibrahim and Emmanuel .
It has been a wonderful week by your side. Beyond a trek on the Golden Roof of Africa, it is a real human experience. We will not forget you. Neither yeyeeeee!
SAFARI
We made 5 days of camping safari (one day in Tarangire, 3 days in Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro crater) with our French speaking driver guide Denis and our cook Ali.
Denis, a real ace at the wheel, allowed us to see many animals and observe them for as long as we wanted. We didn't expect to see so many and so close it was amazing.
The car was very comfortable, as were the tents we slept in. The campsite allowed us to be as close as possible to the animals and to hear them at night. Finally, Ali's meals were delicious.
We had an unforgettable experience with the Popote Africa Adventures team, whether for the ascent of Kilimanjaro or the Safari. We recommend them 1000%, you can go with your eyes closed and your stay will be amazing!

Best of the best
Amazing experience. Everything was great. The guide/driver Endeni was professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind and full of sense of humor.
The lodges were outstanding. The safari was stunning. We felt as if we are on the national geographic channel. The vehicle was spacious and luxurious.
The communication with Justice prior to the trip was fluent. He is very professional, responsive and answered all the questions we had. All the information he gave us, was found to be accurate.
