A most meaningful and special trip to Kenya's Sheldrick Elephant Orphanages
Planning at the height of covid and traveling in between variants, all 5 of us on this safari had some trepidation about procedures, tests, and online entrance/exit requirements, etc. Sangeeta of Chalo did an exceptional job of helping us through all the steps and lining up the covid tests so it all went without a hitch.
Five of us planned the trip together along with Sangeeta, so we had a lot of input on what we wanted to do. Sangeeta provided us with unique and interesting options that we might not have thought of ourselves. Some of these also were money-savers to keep the costs in check.
The trip itself was superb in all aspects and I have many safaris in my background for comparison. There were some unusual needs on this trip, such as credit cards that malfunctioned, a participant running out of money, a missed international flight and very dire health issues requiring sudden special accommodations. Sangeeta on the ground with us and Chalo members back in the office made sure everything was attended to so all of us could enjoy the trip to the utmost.
The Sheldrick facilities and nearby accommodations were tremendous and far exceeded our expectations, allowing time for both elephant and keeper interaction plus ample more traditional wildlife viewing safari activities. We ended with four nights in the Mara, for a 3-week trip. Some of us did our own thing for parts of this trip and another traveler joined us for just the Mara. So there were lots of moving parts that Chalo made sure flowed seamlessly.

George was exceptional. He took very good care of us and was extremely knowledgeable.
I recently went on a safari trip with Taswira. We had an amazing time for two weeks. We went to five national parks and saw every animal imaginable. Including all the big five. We also spent time with the local tribes one day and another day touring Arusha. The trip was well crafted. The lodging was comfortable, and the food was very good.
Our guide George who is one of the owners of Taswira took very good care of us. He spent extra time looking for different animals and had a great knowledge of the culture and wildlife.
There were four of us and two of the guys had some physical challenges including one of them in a wheelchair. George came up with a system to make getting in and out of the Land Rover simple.
I would give them a five-star rating. This was a trip of a lifetime for me.

Our tour operator Mr Jackson is such amazing person, honest, kind and helpful!
Since we booked the safari tour until we left every moment was great! Our tour operator Jackson helped us a lot! Everything he promised is true and all staff are so friendly, food is great, tour is amazing! We saw a lot of animals, and our guide is professional, he explained almost every animal we saw, and he took nice photos for us! 3 days safari tour is definitely unbelievable amazing! I lost my bag in Serengeti with money inside, Jackson helped to find it back even and after we back to our country he sent me the money by bank transfer, he’s such a wonderful person and very honest. You can totally trust on him, we highly recommend Topy Tour, they arrange the trip very nicely!

Best safari ever!
What an amazing experience. The most beautiful trip ever. Lion king is very well organised and helps you with everything (& responds very fast through mail). You can ask them anything and they will take care of it.
We were so delighted to have Mashoke as our guide and Karim as our chef. Mashoke is a great guide that answers all of your questions and gives you fun facts about the animals. Mashoke will do everything in his power to deliver what you want. Karim is the sweetest man and makes his food with a lot of love. Unfortunately we can’t take Karim with us and make him our personal chef for the rest of our lives ;). In short, thank you to make our trip this amazing.

Great Adventure
Suricata was a perfect Provider. We had big luck with our Driver Levis, who is really passionatet in his job. He drove the car save, could tell us very interessting Details about the animals and took care about our wishes.
Also we had a lot of luck with the cook, who came with us. While other ppl had Lunchboxes, the cook cooked every lunch and dinner for us, which was really delicious. I would recommend Suricata Safari again!

Excellent Tour in Uganda
Uganda is a beautiful country, we’ve visited the country for 6-days. With the Gorilla-tracking as Highlight of our trip.
Francis and his company managed to provide us with an unforgivable trip. Feeling save all the time. Beautiful mid-range lodges and amazing trips to Queen Elizabeth park , the cruise, chimpansee-tracking and wildlife spotting, and ofcourse the Gorilla’s.
It was worth the money!

Wonderful Experience on Kilimanjaro thanks to Yohana and Anna!
Very gladly we look back on a great experience on Kilimanjaro. Thanks to our excellent guides Yohana and Anna and the whole team we actually reached the summit. We can recommend Yohana and Anna without reservation. They have a great experience and motivated us. They know very well about mountain guiding but also about vegetation. We have learned a lot and have returned with many beautiful memories of a great time.
