VERY LEGIT COMPANY! GREAT EXPERIENCE IN MADAGASCAR
I have been in Madagascar for 2 months now and love it. It is truly a unique place to visit, in terms of culture and wildlife. On my first day we went on a snorkel on home reef, saw loads of anemone fish, a giant puffer and a hawksbill turtle.
We then went for a walk to a local village, on the way spotting a family of black lemurs and a Chameleon. Not too bad for the first day! Since then, I have been able to explore further afield through science work and seen even more wonderful creatures.
The local village that we live next to have a strong sense of community, inviting us to parties, celebrations and even a carnival! Out here you get sun, sea, sand and science! Perfect combination!
Working within the marine staff here has been an absolute eye opener and one which has allowed me to experience many new things. From the moment I arrived on camp I was taken away by the beauty of our surroundings- the green forest surrounding the back of the camp and our views out over the ocean and the surrounding areas.
The diving is not the most amazing in the world but there is a wide variety of extremely colorful fish, rays and occasional turtles. I have genuinely enjoyed every dive I have done here and some of the dives have amazing coral formations so I would not overlook Madagascar as a diving location.
Being able to carry out science whilst on the dives is also a really enjoyable experience and has allowed me to learn more about the reef fauna and flora in the area. The marine crew are also extremely fun to work with and the mixture of people on camp means that there is plenty to learn and never a boring moment.
I would recommend Madagascar with Go Volunteer Africa to anyone, but be prepared for basic living standards! This is genuinely not a problem and I believe it has added to my experience here- but maybe bring a few luxuries from home with you!! Enjoy!
Thank you, Paul, Herbert and the entire Go Volunteer Africa for making this happen!

Poor contact, changed plans with no explanations.
Incredible places but the timing was not good. For visiting the 3 parks you should stay at least 2 nights in each one of them. We could enjoy Masai Mara because we did stay for 2 nights. The jeep we had assigned was not in good conditions, we even had a panne, so we lost more time and arrived really late to one park, had a very late lunch, not so yummy and had few time to visit the park. The operator was not very communicative, only answered fast when we told him about the transportation problem.

Great stay travelling through Uganda
We hired a supercustom and had great service from Pamoja whenever there were problems with the car due to very bad roads.

Absolutely fantastic adventure!
Serengeti Smile perfectly prepared a tailor-made offer for our group of 10 people. We wanted to see not only the safari but also the Usambara Mountains. Everything went according to plan, we had good, comfortable accommodation and really good food. Our driver guides - Ayoub and Baraka were wonderful! They answered all our questions with a sense of humor. We are impressed by their knowledge of animals and their habits. Riding with them off-road was a great adventure! Great team! Lots of smiles and laughter!

More than you expect
The tour organised by Serengeti Smile was tailored to measure and give us much more than we expected. Places we have visited, hotels we have stated in show us real Tanzania. Our guides and drivers - Ayobb and Barraka were perfect - their energy and sense of humour was like an extra added value to our trip. Strongly recommend this tour operator.

Much recommended
I went on 7 days Great Migration Winter Safari and it was very well organized. Contact with Micky from the office was great. Thanks to our experienced safari guide Jackson I saw more than I expected. Thanks again! Very good accomodations, both hotels, lodges and tented camps.

This Safari extended all our expectations
We booked our Safari trip before our travel to Zanzibar- months ahead actually, and when the date arrived, we were a little concerned, if everything would fall into pieces. But our concern was totally unnecessary. We were picked up at our hotel at the scheduled time, everything at the airport went smoothly and at Selouse in Nyere Park we were picked up by our driver and guide. Both were outstanding, and went all the way in their effort to give us the very best adventure. We can for sure recommend this tour. We went for three days a two nights in a very authentic African lodge.

Well organized. Friendly, helpful and great value for money
We booked Junglers 6-Day Kruger, Canyon and Panorama Route Explorer Trip - for our group of 6 - but with their help we adapted the tour so we could spend more time in the Kruger.
Junglers were very easy, helpful and accommodating to work with whilst we were planning our trip and very quick to respond to any questions we had
We had some special dietary requirements in our group too which were worried about - but these had been planned in advance by Junglers and were accommodated for without any fuss at each of our stops
The trip was superb. We were picked up from our hotel near the airport by our guide who was knowledgeable, friendly and kind (and a very good cook too!) and were joined by additional guides and trackers at different points within our trip (who without exception were excellent and knowledgable too - adapting and changing their plans to help enhance the experience for us.)
The trip was very good value for money and Junglers had obviously put a great deal of thought and planning into were we went, who the guides were and where we stayed each night - As a result we saw and experienced much more than we could ever have expected
I would absolutely recommend Junglers to anyone planning a similar trip
