Dixon was a kind fun and helpful, knows a lot about animals
I'm Ida and I'm ten. I really enjoyed lenchada Safaris and I think that we had the best guide for it - Dixon. The animals were super and it was good to learn about their habitat and how we can help it. All in all the experience was amazing.

This was a perfect Safari with outstanding organsiation and an extremly friendly, knowlegeable guide
We have discovered African Big Cats Safaris in the internet and were immediately impressed by their quick response behavior. The tour was organized to our schedule, but mainly we relied to the expertise of the tour operator - which was a good decision.
A last-minute change - our 18-years-old son arrived one day after us - was managed professionally against a moderated extra-fee. The managing director Immanuel personally picked up our son at Kilimanjaro airport and drove him to the lodge where we spent the 2nd night. This made us feel very good.
The tour itself was impressive and we would always recommend the same itinerary (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara) with Serengeti/Ngorongoro being the highlight. Our experienced driver Vanance was extremely friendly, customer-oriented (drinks had always the perfect temperature!) and answered really every question we asked – he has such a great knowledge about Tanzanian wildlife and culture. Vanance made us feel very comfortable from the first minute and it was a big pleasure to spend the 5 days with him.
Accommodation was exactly how you expect this from a safari – charming, rustic, clean, very good food, very friendly people around. The car (Landcruiser) was in very good shape and cleaned every evening.
Wildlife is amazing and we even saw the big five – here the professionality of our driver Vanance paid off combined with a little luck!
Managing director Immanuel showed up at the airport before departure to get direct feedback – another good and professional move.
A safari isn’t a cheap event, but we have the impression that we received good value for the money we paid.
We definitely recommend a safari with African Big Cats!

Excellent Safari Company!!!
Our wonderful safari trip would not have been possible without Tazama. We had a 10-day safari starting with Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Lake Navasha, and ended with Amboseli. Our driver/guide (Andrew) was able to find animals in every park including the Big 5! Andrew is a highly skilled guide and driver. He was patient with us, even when we were late having breakfast (smile). He is kind, generous and has a great sense of humor. He has great instincts and has great communication skills. He gets along with other drivers and even helped changed a tire for another driver while we were out looking for animals.
Prior to our safari, Anthony was patient and very responsive to our numerous questions! It was just a joy to actually communicate with someone who understood and addressed all of our concerns. We were able to PayPal our final payment a day before our departure which as many travelers know is not allowed with other travel companies. This how accommodating Tazama is. As for the value/price, it was an excellent deal. We were in a clean, reliable and comfortable vehicle and the lodges where we stayed were wonderful. Anthony also arranged our hot air balloon ride which I strongly recommend for Maasai Mara. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a wonderful safari company. The Tazama team knows how to take care of people! I would definitely recommend Tazama to anyone looking for a safari in Kenya.

Trip of a lifetime
This was an amazing trip. We went during the great migration. It is really something to see. Every place we stayed was wonderful but my personal favorite was the tented area. We woke up to giraffes eating right outside of our tent. Exaud was simply the best. He always provided us with wonderful meals and everyone of them was an experience. He just took care of all the details. Exaud is extremely knowledgeable about the area the animals and the locals you will meet. You will not be disappointed with TX Safari.

Better a than Expected and more!
Shaun is our go to guy. He was always available and heard what we thought we were looking for. From transfers to flights, accommodations, tours, food and being blessed with fabulous animal sights this was our bucket list trip. When we needed advise while on trip, Shaun was quick to respond. Hat’s off to EastCape Tours for our special experience.

They fulfilled our expectations!
The accommodations were superb. The price was very reasonable. Every day was filled with a full schedule, all the activities were exciting but plenty of time to rest. I highly recommend this tour guide for all ages.

Perfect Tanzanian Trip
From first contacting Jane at Kenan Travel and Tours until we left Tanzania at the end of our holiday, we had a great experience. Jane listened to our wants and needs and organised our safari perfectly. She arranged for us to have Steven as our driver guide. We wanted to do birding and Steven knew a lot of the birds and had good eyes to find them. His knowledge of Tanzania and the history and facts of the parks were second to none and we learned a lot from him. The vehicle was comfortable and seemed well maintained. We stayed at Meru View Lodge, Sangaiwe tented camp and Country Lodge Karatu and all three were brilliant!
Thanks again Jane. We unreservedly recommend your company to anyone looking for an East African Safari at a good price.

21 Days Grand Uganda Rwanda Safari
I had a truly wonderful 21 day safari with Bugoli Adventures. It was a last minute decision to visit Uganda and Rwanda. Without much preparation time, the booking process was still very personal. Michael has put together the perfect itinerary taking into account my preferences: a mix of different wildlife and cultural experiences as well as some hiking activities.
My safari then started at the airport in Entebbe, where I was picked up by Michael and my guide Silver. Silver was absolutely great: As a very experienced driver, he knew all the best routes and made my trip safe and comfortable. In addition, he has eagle eyes and could spot wildlife from a great distance. So I saw all the Big Five and collected a lot of amazing photos. My personal wildlife highlight of the trip was definitely visiting the gorillas in Bwindi.
As a solo traveler, I opted for budget accommodations to cut down on my expenses. However, the accommodations selected by Michael really exceeded my expectations: the rooms were spacious and clean, mostly with a great view. Ideal for relaxing after a long day of driving. The 3 course meals at their restaurants were delicious. The meals were carefully selected in personal consultation with their chef.
In closing, I would like to highly recommend Bugoli Adventures to help you create an unforgettable safari experience.

Ute is a pleasure to work with!!!
We recently returned from our second safari booked through Ute. As with our first trip in 2018 to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia, Ute provided a wealth of information and wonderful recommendations for our trip to Kenya and Tanzania. Ute was always prompt and courteous when replying to our numerous emails. We would not hesitate to use Ute again!

Smart Voyage and Safaris are very Knowledgeable, helpful and work with the community.
The sun was finally out after almost 3 months of the cold weather. My mum had suggested we go for an holiday but we never settled for a time till last month. Smart Voyage has been our travelling agent for almost 2 years now so they planned our 3 night holiday to Diani. We stayed at the breathtaking Sands at Nomad Hotel. Being a wine person I enjoyed the extensive wine collection from the owner's wine cellar. The food was so good that it was almost impossible to stop enjoying. Our second day had to be the highlight of our trip. We went scuba diving, this is was one of the best experiences,we got to see the beautiful marine life as we interacted with the local communities.We were so impressed that the hotel promotes sustainability by supporting the Diani Turtle project, a local organisation aimed at protecting fragile marine life. We enjoyed the dinner by the ocean as well. The rooms were absolutely fantastic ! Time went by so fast we didn't even realise it. Our overall experience was so smooth and relaxing. We definitely got what we needed. Asante sana Smart Voyage team.
