My first amazing african safari of my life
As Jacob and Wilson well know, a few weeks ago they were the first time I was in Africa.
As a biologist and photographer, when I travel to look for animals, I always try to lower expectations so as not to get frustrated, because I know how difficult it is to locate certain animals. And WildTouch Tours And Travels surprised me and a lot. Their knowledge of the territory, the fauna, the customs and traditions of every corner of this amazing country that is Kenya made it possible for us to see things that in normal season would take months.
Obviously, the effect of the pandemic and the consequent decline in tourism around the world must also have influenced, but thanks to these incredible guides, we have been able to witness animal behaviors that I personally would never have imagined seeing beyond documentaries.
I can only say, thank you very much for this adventure.

Excellent game drive with an experienced, knowledgeable and lively guide
The tour and game drive with Bush Explorers was fantastic. Piet was a excellent guide who was knowledgeable about the Kruger National Park. He had amazing abilities to sight animals even in the distance and kept the drive lively and entertaining.

Everything was perfect! Great people and beautiful country
Snow Africa Adventures are the best tour operator in Tanzania. Florent was patient with me when planning this trip, explaining different aspects of the various activities. We finally created a perfect itinerary after very many emails and skype calls.
The actual trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire was a great adventure, the guide was very good, smart and very professional. He taught us a lot about Tanzania’s people, wildlife and nature. He kept us safe at all times.
Hotels were perfect……… I could go on endlessly because it was perfect!

Unforgettable trip to Kenya
We returned a few days ago from an incredible 13 day trip through Kenya organized by Jacob and Wildtouch Tours. I have no words to describe all the feelings I have, but the first thing that comes to my mind is "thank you." Asante Sana Jacob and Wilson (our guide) for this magical and unforgettable experience. It has been very hard times due to the covid and border closures. Many moments that we thought we could not make this trip, many impediments, but finally we did it and the trip has been 10/10.
Once in Kenya, everything went smooth and easy thanks to Jacob's professional and friendly treatment and management. The whole tour was perfectly planned and we didn't miss a thing.
The choice of accommodations was perfect, adjusting to our budget but each and every one of them was incredible. And the food included during the tour was just perfect. We cannot ask for more.
Our guide Wilson went out of his way for us and found all the animals we asked for. We focus the safari on photography and Jacob and Wilson understood that from the first moment, leaving the camp always before sunrise and returning after sunset so that we had many hours of game drive and the best possible light for photography. It is a very tough schedule and we must thank them for all the effort they made for us.
The car, a van, is comfortable and spacious. It was in excellent condition and never caused any problems. In addition, Wilson always kept it clean and impeccable.
The route planning was unbeatable for 13 days. We started in Meru NP, then Samburu, Lake Nakuru and ended with 4 days in Maasai Mara. This way we enjoyed a very diverse fauna and many different landscapes. Thankfully we followed Jacob's recommendation to include Meru NP, a remote and wild park very different from the others, where we were completely alone in the middle of the wilderness!
And Maasai Mara, speechless. Wilson knows the Mara as if it were his home, all the roads and shortcuts and he finds lions without more cars around to sit alone with them, and spend the afternoon watching and photographing the cubs' games, avoiding the crowds of cars in other parts. No words to describe this.
In terms of planning, it was really all very easy. We started with WhatsApp messages with Jacob half a year before the trip and everything really flowed by itself. Jacob is a great professional, he doesn't take more than a minute to answer all my questions (and I must say that I had so many, all the time!). This was one of the first reasons that made me choose this company and not another, the fluency in communication at all times. I thank Jacob very much for this, since finally I must say that the choice was more than correct.
I must DEFINITELY recommend Wildtouch Tours and Travels to everyone who wants an unforgettable trip to East Africa. They are a serious, professional company that put the customer's interest first. And also, I must say that they are very friendly. Jacob is a wonderful person that I will never forget and that I hope to see again soon. I'm going to start thinking about a new trip with them for next year or the next. In fact, I can no longer imagine travelling to Kenya or Tanzania if it is not with them.
Thank you very much Jacob and Wilson for everything, I hope to see you again soon, and if you ever come to Barcelona, here you have a house and a friend!

Amazing Safari
Our positive impression with Furaha Tours and safaris from our first contact with Phil, our travel consultant, he was very responsive to all our communications and helped us create a wonderful private safari according to our wishes. We were not disappointed as our 5 days family safari was even better than we expected. Accommodations were amazing. Our guide Didas took excellent care and handled the whole trip flawlessly. We highly recommend Furaha Tours to anyone looking for amazing safari to Tanzania.

This is the best vacation in a long time
We found Edward of KWESA very attentive and informative during the booking process. Together we made an action packed itinerary at the right cost and staying in mid-range lodges which turned out to be exceptional. During the trip the company gave us a reliable and safe car with an incredible guide. He is knowledgeable and funny making us laugh a lot during the trip. He also drove carefully at all times. We did not miss any activity in the program and asked us what we wanted to see.
I am glad to have gone on safari with KWESA and recommend them fully.

Exceptional
I got value for money and the team was great in how they understood the park and general tour guiding.
Amazing tour to visit the gorillas and chimpanzees
Twaha arranged a truly remarkable trip for me to see the chimpanzees and gorillas. Even though it was very last minute, he quickly and efficiently arranged the entire tour including the trekking permits, hotels etc in less than 24 hours. I was the first to visit the gorillas at the Buhoma Gate in Bwindi and the third for the chimpanzees in Kibale.
The selected resorts were very nice local midrange places with great service and good food. In Bwindi I stayed at the Haven a great community based resort. The addition of an additional stop / night was easily arranged. Twaha is a great safe driver as well.
I was extremely happy with the overall trip from beginning to end. I highly recommend this company for locals or internationals looking for a tour guide and company.

Serengeti Heaven
My wife and I went on our honeymoon in Tanzania, first an 8 day safari with Earthlife and then 5 days in Zanzibar, basically because no where else would let US citizens into their country.
I chose Earthlife because it's a local operator, and one of the most reputable in the biz. I worked with Caudence on our itinerary for 2 months getting it just right. Earthlife is definitely the way to go in terms of service and quality. During the trip our guide Jeff worked to get our tickets from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam worked out... something that had nothing to do with Earthlife and they were only able to do because the owner had a relationship with the owner of the airline. Earthlife makes things happen.
Speaking of Jeff, he was an incredible guide! He was tireless, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, positive, and funny. He was often first to the scene of awesome sights and he'd go the extra mile - one time we were headed back to camp and he heard there was a rhino on the radio and we went back like an hour just to try to see this one rhino and round out the big 5 (they're pretty rare here). You need to request Jeff.
Tanzania is gorgeous and now is the time to see it. Every game park is like your personal wildlife paradise. The people are very kind and unobtrusive. They've been suffering from the Covid economy and you're going to get awesome rates and personalized service. Jeff said the number of vehicles is about 10% of normal. It's like going to disneyland some random mid week vs the saturday before Christmas. The risk of getting Covid is nil from the locals. (Obvi you need to get tested before you come to protect them).
Earthlife and Jeff, remember the names!

Absolutely perfect
Rose suggested me to travel to Kenya in these months as it would be a new experience as very few visitors. I found an excellent suggestion because I. Found a very secure country for covid problem and very few visitors, each one with a jeep, a lot of animals and so I really enjoyed my stay.
I preferred loboisha camp as I saw more animals and really no people, rekero camp was maybe in a more beautiful location but in Mara there was more
Traffic and animals less interesting, both camp perfect for quality of services and food.
