Excellent Experience with Moabi from Steenbok Safaris
We had an excellent day trip with Moabi from Steenbok Safaris. He arranged for transport from Victoria Falls and then met us at the Botswana border. We did a morning game drive, had a delicious lunch, and then did an afternoon river boat safari. We saw lions, eleohants, giraffes, buffalo, Hippos, impalas, kudos, and many other animals. It was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Moabi.

Fat Rhinos Travel took care of - and guided me through - every last detail. They're brilliant!
My experience was more than I imagined and absolutely, wonderfully unforgettable.
Once my booking was confirmed, an ahead of my trip, Dennis gave me a guiding itinerary to help me decide what I wanted to do, which was very helpful, particularly this being my first visit to Amboseli. He advised me that mine being a private trip, I would have the flexibility to make adjustments with my Driver-Guide as we went along. I did, indeed, do so, and having set an intention made it easier.
Fat Rhinos Travel paired me with Sam Mwangi Migwi, of Half Maasai Kenya Safari Transport and I could not have asked for a better pairing. Sam is a brilliant Driver-Guide. By the time we got to Emali, en route to Amboseli, I realised that I had more than a driver guide - he was a delightful travel companion. He's knowledgeable, a great storyteller and his own passion for photography made the game drives a shared experience. He has a very generous spirit and went over and above to ensure that I got the best of Amboseli.
Ol Tukai Lodge was beautiful and I cherished my elephant view room! The hospitality was great: all the staff I interacted with were kind, friendly, helpful and - most importantly - efficient.
My one wrinkle with the Lodge is that on my first night, I woke up to an uncomfortably hot room in the middle of the night because there was no power and so my fan had gone off. I fell asleep again, eventually. What was worse, though, was that I woke up at 5am to get dressed and ready for my 6am game drive and I had to get ready using the flashlight on my phone because I was still in pitch blackness with no power.
My second night was fine. I had power through the night so my fan worked and I slept comfortably and woke up to working lights.
The food was good, the room beautiful, welcoming and comfortable and other than the one wrinkle, I had a wonderful experience.
Thank you so very much!! And I love my hoodie gifted to me by Fat Rhinos Travel!!

Good communication and service
I reserved a safari for august for me and 5 co-travellers with Reny Safaris. During the whole booking process they were very kind in responding to additional request swiftly and creatively. Unfortunately we had to cancel the tour for a number of reasons. Since it was still within the cancellation policy period they reorganised everyting as quickly as they could, cancelling the lodgings and reimbursing the money to me. A professional approach with empathy and a good sense of humour. I'm sorry I never got to go on safari with you, but hopefully in the future!

Full dedication for the guests
Jambo - I wanted to show my family the Heart of Africa and we received so much more! We loved every minute. Hotel Pick-up, flight and fantastic game drives in Nyerere NP left unforgettable memories. Highlight was a night safari with dinner in the park.
The guides did everything to show us the beauties of this unspoilt place on earth!
After many hours in the car searching for animals we finally even found a big group of simba! We will never forget these 3 days-only possible because of passionate people who love what they are doing and that can be felt. Asante sana for everything! Also to Safaribookings for the connection with Nkollo Tours!

Informative interesting and fun
It was a great experience, I was staying in Pretoria and booked the tour for one day I was picked up at 7 am and was home by 5 pm. I got to go on 3 hours safari had a lunch at a restaurant and met the most amazing people on the tour.
I’m a solo female traveler and I had such a nice safari experience
I’d recommend that you get binoculars, you own bottle of water and snacks.
I’d appreciated if the schedule was explained more in detail to know what to expect at what time.

Excellent
We had the best experience exploring the Safari with Africa Marvel Tours. Really well organised. Accommodation was perfect, very clean, comfortable and had amazing views. It was well structured throughout the day. Our tour guide Mike, went above and beyond for us to get the best experience and see all the different animals whilst also giving us great information on the safari, animals and history. Highly recommend!

Wonderful 4 Day Uganda Trip with Dav Safaris
Our trip with Dav Safaris was wonderful! My friend and I did a 4 day/3 night route - picked up in Kigali and driven up to see the chimpanzees in Kibale National Park; then drove through Queen Elizabeth National Park to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where we saw mountain gorillas; and finally an afternoon/evening/morning at Lake Bunyonyi before heading back to Kigali. From the moment we decided to book with Dav Safaris, communication with Reagan was quick and smooth, and we felt well taken care of. Along the journey, everywhere we stayed was lovely, especially the absolutely gorgeous Seeds of Hope guest house on Lake Bunyonyi's Itambira Island! The food was also great throughout the trip, with plenty of non-meat options available everywhere we went, as both my friend and I are vegetarian.
Most importantly, I want to thank our incredible guide, Shafiq, who shepherded us between each park and kept us entertained along the way. Our trip involved a lot of driving, and at no point did we feel bored or overwhelmed, thanks to Shafiq's truly endless knowledge about the vast wildlife, nature, and cultures of Uganda and Rwanda (and his knack for pointing out any animal he spotted along the way, no matter how small). He had an answer to every single question we asked, regardless of how obscure it might be. And, crucially, he got us everywhere we needed to go on time and comfortably. It was such a pleasure to spend for days with him!
I cannot recommend Dav Safaris enough for your Uganda/Rwanda safari trip, we would absolutely book with them again if we are lucky enough to travel through the region once more. Thank you so much Reagan and Shafiq!

Magnificent tour in Ol Pejeta & superb service!
After looking at various options on this site, we opted to ask for a quote from Kichaka Tours & travel for a 3 day/2 night safari in Ol Pejeta. From first contact and through all communications, Wilson from Kichaka has been super swift & supportive, being our contact throughout the planning process, payment, and until after the safari was completed. He also came to greet us when our guide for the tour, Victor, picked us up at the hotel in Nairobi. Which brings us to the main event, the safari tour. Victor was an amazing, experienced guide who really made an extra effort to ensure we had some extraordinary sightings. On the different drives he communicated well with other guides & park rangers along the way. We saw lions, elephants, rhinos, girafffes, zebras, buffalo, impalas, antelopes, gazelles, water bucks and theough extraordinary effort a cheetah too! On top of this, he knows a lot about all the birds too, He was a steady, safe & realiable driver on the roads between Nairobi & Ol Pejeta. We give our highest recommendations to Kichaka Tours, Wilson & Victor!
