Terrible! Fraudsters. Do not book!
I paid $5k for a safari to the Serengeti. They gave my money to a fake safari guide. He did take us but he was terrible. I've been on lots of safaris before so I know the quality of service that is normally provided. He knew nothing about the animals. He tried to take us away from an amazing hotel we booked and put us somewhere cheaper next door. He was angry when checking in and the hotel manager told us he was aggressive towards him. African Sunset travel pretended they cared but they didn't. They offered zero compensation. They are a fraudulent company do not book!

Excellent service!
Excellent Service by Hyrax
Six of us went on a safari. Hyrax was our safari company. From the begining, they were very responsive and caring. We went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha boat ride. The lodges they have selected were classy. The jeep and the guide was friendly and fun. Owner of the company never failed to respond any of our service calls. Very responsible and I recommend them. This was my second tour and I can say Hyrax company is much better than the company i went before. All the best to them.

Best African Safari Operators in Uganda
I and my friends have peculiar tastes and were not sure find the best fit for a tour guide on our trip to Uganda. However, Freka African Holidays get full marks for their tailor-made African tours that had us enjoy a lot during this trip. Eddy, our tour guide, was the best, knew what will keep the group occupied and having the time of our lives. I’d highly recommend them to anyone who wants a phenomenal safari experience.

Amazing safari with an outstanding, heart warming and experienced guide
This was my 1st safari and first one with Sino Africa Safari and it was amazing. We took the private safari to visit five national parks(Samburu, Masai Mara, Nakuuru, Amboseli, and Naivasha). All hotels we stayed in were excellent! Our driver guide Solomon was very profesional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He made sure that we have a lifetime experience and it was. We could feel his effort to show us the African Big Five, cheetahs, elephants and the migrant animals.
Thank you Sino Africa Safari and Solomon for being part of our safari. Thank you for your knowledge, help and your outstanding service!

Amazing Rongai Route.
It was our wish to trek Africas rooftop, having seen different routes and after excellent guidance from Biko Adventures tour consultant (Martin) we chose the Rongai route because we wanted to be on a less-traveled path. Being a group of six we wished to have a great guidance so that we all summit.
From the pickup at airport the treatment was lovely then we herd to Rongai.
Our Biko Adventures guides were really accommodating, friendly, generous, and amusing. We were a little envious of the cabin dwellers with nice mattresses to sleep on when we arrived at Kibo camp. Our guide was really attentive as we struggled with altitude issues. We finally made it to the top, but It wasn't easy getting there. To keep us secure, our guide, helper, guide, and cook joined us. and sang us a cheerful song to encourage us all the way to the summit. We had a great time, and the Biko adventures guides could not have been more accommodating!
I recommend Biko Adventures for their professional service from the time we start chatting to the time we summited.

We would like to say that our guide Richard was first class
We spent 5 days with Richard our guide and he was an absolute gem. His knowledge and thirst for more knowledge was astounding; he knew so much about the flora and fauna and also about other aspects of Kenyan life. Seeing our enthusiasm for these facts, he told us the first day that he would test us on the final day and so he did with much humour. I hope we lived up to his high expectations of us!
But more importantly he was a guide who was very sensitive to his customers' needs: anticipating when he thought we wanted to have a longer look at something (and always getting it right), finding beautiful spots to have the picnic lunch, being flexible, caring and inventive when our daughter wasn't feeling too well and he was a very safe driver too which is important in a country where drivers sometimes do their own thing. All in all, we were very very lucky to have him as our guide and would highly recommend him. Dear Richard asante sana!

"Surpassed our expectations a wonderful experience"
Having spent our first week in Cape Town, we flew to Zimbabwe for the second week of our South African adventure. Waiting at the airport for our party of six with a minibus to take us to our hotel was Fortune Ndlovu from Forche Tours and Travel. On route to our hotel Fortune gave us a bit of Zimbabwean history, their cultural customs, and traditions.
He had arranged a bespoke compact itinerary for us. Although the programme changed slightly, this was well co-ordinated by Fortune, who organised different vehicles and drivers to take us to and from our destinations. Everything went like clockwork.
On our first night Fortune arranged a fantastic African cultural evening at The Boma Dinner and Drum Show. This was an interactive evening; the food was tasty, and we had fun getting on down playing the drums – it was a vibe!
We experienced the wonder of Victoria Falls, it was awesome. The spray from the force of the water came at us from all angles - we got absolutely drenched. We definitely needed raincoats! We also flew by helicopter above the Falls – this activity was recommended by Fortune, the view was breath-taking.
Other highlights of our trip were the stunning views from The Lookout Café at Victoria Falls; a sunset cruise with dinner along the Zambezi River; vintage train journey with drinks and canapes on the Zambia side of ; safari cruise along The Chobe River.
Our trip also included a full-day safari, with a picnic lunch. Unfortunately, we didn’t see all the big-five, but it was amazing to see birds and animals in their natural habitat, up close and personal.
Overall, Fortune did us proud and we would definitely recommend his services if you are interested in visiting Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia.
A ‘BIG’ thank you to Forche Tours and Travel for a memorable holiday.

Professional, trustful and qualitative safari company
We loved our time with ‘Smile with us Tours’. We were with four friends and had a great trip. Msese was our guide, and he did whatever was needed to make us enjoy every moment and feel great and safe. He showed us all good places, and he knew Nyerere Park very well. He brought us to places where nobody else went because our 4x4 car was strong, and he knew the car very well.
The communication with Jakub, the owner of the company, went nicely. He gave us a reasonable price. Much better than other companies. We met people in the lodge that went with other companies. They paid more for the same lodging. Also, the car we had was much better than other safari companies were using.
All in all, we loved it, and we would advise everyone to work with Smile Tours. Thanks!
