Reliable, well organized and taking our wishes into account
We (family with two adult children) made a private camping safari with AAA Express Adventure. It was our first time in africa and our first safari: It was a great experience!
The communication with Jalala, the owner of the company, was very good and he considered all our wishes (not only game drives, also walking and canoing; also some cultural insights). We made a 7-day safari, starting with the Arusha NP including a walking safari with an armed ranger and also a canoing tour at the momella lake. We stayed inside the Arusha NP at the public campsite, in the middle of the jungle, all alone, no other campers were here! An incomparable feeling! At the third day we visited Lake Manyara NP, the next day Norongoro Crater and afterwards we made a walk at the crater rim with an ranger. After this we drove to Lake Eyasi and visited the Hadzabe tribe (we went hunting with them ) and also a traditional blacksmith, also very impressive. The next day we visited Tarangire NP and stayed the night at the public campsite inside the park and after a last game drive we went back to Arusha.
Our driver, Peter, was very pleasant and showed us a lot of animals. Sanga cooked delicious meals. Everything was very good.
Overall it was no problem to start the tour not in Arusha, because we spent the nights before in a camp about 1,5 h outside Arusha, also they brought us after the safari to the next station we've booked (a little bit outside of Arusha). And Jalala organized the bus tickets for us to travel to Tanga.
The price was absolutely reasonable.
Thanks a lot to Jalala, Peter and Sanga!

Across the Wild Safaris and Fina are wonderful!
We did a second safari with Across the Wild in August 2022 on our first post-COVID trip to Kenya. We had an absolutely marvelous time. Fina was absolutely wonderful in attending to every detail in planning our safari experience and assuring that it was perfect. We stayed at Serena lodges, which were ideal. Our guide, Dedan, was superb, and all in all, we had one of our best safari experiences that we have ever had. We explored different parts of the Masai Mara than we had previously and had wonderful observations of all of the animals, including a river crossing by wildebeests and zebras (patience and keen observation by Dedan really paid off!) We are already planning our next safari adventure with Across the Wild when we hope to return next year.

Helpful and efficient
This was a family reunion that was delayed by 2 years due to Covid. In spite of repeated postponements of this trip, Ute was very helpful in making all the bookings and provided great travel tips to us. The trip was a smooth, wonderful experience and we truly enjoyed every moment of it! Thank you!

An amazing experience like nothing else.
We chose Maasai Mara Train and Mr. Wilson because of the first impression he gave us. Very charming and nice to speak to him. So we booked our Safari to Maasai Mara two months before. All this time we have small chats with Mr. Wilson, he gave us tips for the Safari and also we did a video call with him.
The day before the safari he picked us up from the airport with his friend David and he helped us to find a SIM card for our phone. Then we went to the Giraffe center.
On the first day of the Safari we went downtown and met with our driver Steven. Steven was an AMAZING guy. A great driver, great animal spotter and storyteller. We had a joined Safari, so we had company some really cool guys from Nepal.
The Safari was an amazing and extraordinary experience. We saw a lot different animals and three from the big five thanks to our driver Steven. The infinite feeling of the savanna it's something that you can't forget.
On our full Safari day, we had a problem with the car, they took us on a luxury lodge inside the park to take a brake and after a couple of time, they brought us a Jeep and took us to the Mara River to see the migration. So they encountered the problem fast and find the best solution for us to continue our Safari. We found a spot to have picnic lunch near the Mara River with hippos in front of us, crocodiles and the migration on the move on the other side of the river. What more to ask for?
On the last day we asked for a small change, we wanted to go to lake Naivasha. Our driver Steve arranged things fast and in the morning we were in the lake with boats for Boat Safari. We saw hippos, giraffes and huge eagles near the lake shore.
Mr. Wilson and Maasai Mara Train helped us to have our first Safari encounter and it was amazing. Hope to do more in the future. Hope to see you again Mr. Wilson! :)

Fantastic - Professional and well organized tour.
The tour was very well planned, with a nice balance of activities, and was orchestrated without any hitches.
Accommodation that was organized, and beyond expectations.
Our guide was Longie, who was very professional, and knew how to find the best, and utilize the time well. We were able to see lots of interesting things, including the Great Migration - viewing a spectacular massive Gnu crossing of the Mara River. Besides his sense in finding the "action", he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, and gave a lot of interesting information about life in Tanzania.
Would very highly recommend this agency.

Safe, great value, always on time
Going Green is professional, they kept us safe, and they were on time the entire way. The Mikumi safari was amazing, as we were able to make multiple rare views of lionesses, hippos (though they were underwater the whole time), giraffes, elephants, baboons, water buffalo, zebras, and many impalas. The lodging was decent and we slept great. The dinner and breakfast they set up for us was excellent!

Amazing company and tour guide
We did a six-day safari tour including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. The experience was a 10 out of 10. The company’s contact person Roselyne was very responsive upon our inquiry, and provided us plenty useful information to prepare for the trip. Our tour guide Dan was the best part of the trip. He’s not only knowledgeable and willing to share, but he also took great care of us, and always put our needs as the first priority. We had an amazing experience watching wild animals and would strongly recommend him and the company to anyone who’s interested in safari tours in Kenya.

Great natural wonder adventure
In August we had a 3 days and 2 nights hike in MT kenya National Park reaching the Lenana Point through the Sirimon route.
The tour was organized by Kenan travel and all the details were perfect. They provided us a perfect team with drivers, cook porters and guide.
The experience on MT kenya was unique although the weather was tough during the afternoons with strong Rain showers. Still, the combination of landacapes, ecosystems and Animals is one of our highlights in our kenyan trip.

Wonderful experience
We stayed in the Tangala safari camp as part of a trip organised by Wayfairer travel. The safari was the first part of our trip to South Africa (before we went to Cape Town and Hermanus). The safari was the highlight of the trip with great sightings of the Big 5 but overall the trip was fab. It felt like 3 very different trips in one holiday and each part of the holiday was wonderful
