Excellent
The 5-day safari to the 4 main parks of northern Tanzania (Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire) was a wonderful experience: accurate and precise organization, no unexpected events, hotels consistent with the expected standards. Our Mainer driver/guide was very kind to us and attentive to our needs. He guided us to discover the main animals in the parks, also illustrating the characteristics of each one. Cautious driving and tireless energy!
Super positive opinion!!!!

Amazing Kenya Safari tour with Africa Marvel!
A wonderful adventure, made possible by the awesome Africa Marvel Tours team! I started planning the trip by contacting several tour operators. Before any other company even responded to my queries, I had already exchanged multiple messages with Perminus from Africa Marvel. Perminus provided helpful tips (and detailed itinerary proposals), always answering our questions almost immediately (amazing how timely his responses were!). He made excellent hotel and itinerary recommendations in line with our preferences, while keeping our budget in mind. With Perminus’ help, we settled on a 6-day trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
Once we arrived in Nairobi, Perminus continued to provide assistance even before our safari started.
Once on safari, Joe was an awesome guide and safe driver, and a great travel companion for our family. He recommended (and then facilitated) additional things along the way (e.g. a visit to Navaisha) and he made sure that we saw the Big Five (and many more animals) by taking us to the right places at the right times. Bottom line: We would recommend Africa Marvel to anyone planning a Kenya safari adventure!

they really care about you!
The experience was better than expected. Jairos came himself to fetch me from the airport. Later I met my guide, Ezekiel, and he wanted to know about my preferences, what I am interested in, etc.
The Camps and Lodges were carefully selected and all better that I expected. The tour was very well organized.
Ezekiel is a experienced guide who is really good at spotting animals.
Jairos then met me at the end of the tour asking me if everything was according my needs.
That is what I call taking care of the guest!
All the Jairos Team did great and I will get back to them asking to organize my next trip!

Very helpful and professional - had an amazing experience
We had a great experience with Mouintain warriors, from the beginning to end. Felt safe and organized. Rosemary were very helpful helping us arrange the trip, customized after our wishes. Friendly and easy going. She helped us book everything and the trip went smoothly. Always there to answer questions. The safari was amazing. Our guide Simone really had knowledge about Serengeti and he had many friends in the park, reporting good sights over the radio. We learned a lot about the animals. We recommend you to stay in a lodge (tent) for a fantastic wildlife experience at night.
We saw 4/5 of the big five. Missed the leopard (it was raining a lot). However we enjoyed the trip. It’s a memory for life. Great food, comfortable car all day. First day we were able to see cheetahs. Also experienced a lion pack hunt and eat a gazelle, a rare sighting thanks to our guide. Got great photos and memories.

Mellivora African Travels is highly professional and well organized
My husband and I booked our 5 day 4 night safari adventure by flying into Serengeti airport from Zanzibar via Arusha and flew back to Zanzibar through Arusha (Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire). During the booking stage Francesca has been super helpful and informative every step of the way, every email, every question/ concerns was answered promptly. We were able to customize our safari booking such as make changes to the lodges we were staying at, to adding hot air balloon experience to our itinerary, Fran was nothing short on assisting and ensuring that we were happy. At the start of our safari in Serengeti, we were met with our safari guide Ludo and the first thing he said to us was "We will be family for the next 5 days, so anything you need please let me know", he did in fact deliver an exceptional safari experience, he was super friendly, warm, very attentive to our needs and our own pace. Ludo is a very experienced guide (very informative) driver and he knew the all parks very well, we actually seen other drivers stuck in mud holes but he had no issues navigating around it. He also ensured that after each game drive the truck was clean for the next day, he definitely made this Safari experience a memorable one!! The hot meals that was provided during the game drives was also very delicious as we had dietary restrictions (Gluten allergy).
One more thing to point out is that this company also arranged for our flights and pick up and drop offs to and from the airports. Abdul our driver was super helpful and friendly, he found us easily and ensured we were on time for our flight and he was also on time for our pick ups from the airport.
Overall, we could not be more pleased with this company and the service that Fran and her team provided. I would highly recommend Mellivora to anyone that is looking to plan their Safari adventure.

A wonderful trip with a outstanding tour operator
We have chosen Buyaga Safaris for our 11 days Uganda tour.
We have visited the major national parks such as Murchison fall, Kibale Forest, Bwindi impenetrable forest, lake Buyonyi and lake Mburo.
Since the beginning Peter has provided a lot of useful information to arrange our tour and satisfied all our requests on the changes for the accommodations.
On top of this, our guide Derrick really made our days special! He is a young man really kind, polite and passionate about animals and his country, always providing us details about everything we saw. He has always been really attentive to our needs and security, and we really felt secure traveling with him.
We loved everything we did in our 11 days tour from the activities, places and accodomations arranged by Buyaga so we strongly recommend this tour operator.
Last but not least, we will never forget the beautiful Uganda landscape and people from different communities who has always welcomed us with a big smile!

Breathtaking safari
Our 5 day safari was breathtaking. We took the tour with Suricata Safaris through 4 national parks, so we saw beautiful and, above all, different landscapes. We were briefed in advance by Daniel and looked after well. The hotels on the tour were great, especially the new and own Suricata Lodge is a real dream, and spending the night in a tent was also exciting. The food could be a little more varied. Nevertheless, with our great guide Freddy, we saw all of the Big 5 and many more.
It was a fun and unforgettable trip!
