Our 5 days trip in Uganda with Africa Adventure Vacations was a perfect choice
Our 5 days trip in Uganda with Africa Adventure Vacations was a perfect choice. Special thanks to Robert, who from the beginning was very helpful and responsive, which allowed us having a memorable and confortable experience, including meeting us at the airport, fluid communicatiion, organized schedule and arranging our Covid test on time. Our highest gratitud to our guide and driver Frank, who was simply brilliant and his friendliness and vast knowledge of wildlife safari in Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi NP, Bunyonyi Lake, Chimpazee and Gorilla trekking, exceded even our highest expectations. During our game drives with Frank we had the chance to watch the tree sleeping Lions, the pray eating lions, leopards gazing Cobs, elephants, herds of cobs, buffalos, hippos, pumbas. Our eco friendly safari lodges were always comfortable, with extremely friendly staff and delicious meals, always surrounded by nature. Our best experience was in Pumba Lodge and Ride for a Woman Lodge. Overall, we really enjoyed traveling with Frank and discovering much of the countryside by road over the 5 day trip and he made us feel always safe and confortable. As we had a real adventure, we highly recommend Africa Adventure Vacations ’s exceptional services to anyone.

Matthys van Aswegen organized a tour of Botswana and Zimbabwe that exceeded my wildest expectations!
A friend and I booked the Botswana - Zimbabwe safaris in 2019, then COVID grounded us. But Matthys and I kept in touch for three years as we rescheduled, and re-rescheduled our journey until April, 2022. Matthys was exemplary in keeping us informed of COVID guidelines and making adjustments in our schedule to arrange some special activities I wanted to add to our schedule. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. The staff at the places we stayed treated us, not like tourists, but like guests in their homes. The warmth, the humor, the adventure, were all part of this wonderful experience. I so enjoyed this trip that I am already working with Matthys to plan a similar trip for next year!

A Trip of a Lifetime
My wife and I did a 10-day safari with Twinkle Star Tours for our honeymoon while in Kenya. We had an incredible experience during the safari and it was a trip that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Shortly before the tour was set to start some hiccups happened with the payments, and James (tour organizer) spent hours upon hours with us making sure everything was settled and taken care of, one way or another. This is a company that truly cares about its customers, and the overall experience.
During the safari itself our guide was also called James. This dude was honestly one of my favorite things about the whole trip. He was extremely knowledgeable about anything and everything dealing with the animals and the locations we visited, and had an answers to all of our questions- and we had lots of them. His contagious laughter and easy-going attitude made the 10 days we spent together an absolute joy, and i could tell that he truly enjoys what he does.
The lodging booked for us was also on point. All of the places were extremely clean and comfortable, with breathtaking views on just about all of them. It was the perfect mix of adventurous tent-like places you’d expect on a safari, with just the right luxury touch. Just as an extra, I would also highly recommend stopping by the Maasai village for a meet and greet, which was an optional stop for us. It was life changing….
Thank you James and James for making this absolutely incredible experience possible.

One word needed : Amazing
The safari was wonderful! We were on safari during the rain season, but the weather was nice and there were not to many cars. It was nearly empty of cars and full of animals. We saw almost all the big 5 and so many other animals. The pick up service was very nice. The guide gave us a lot interesting information. He always had an answer to our questions. We also had our own cooker who made such nice food! We felt very safe and well cared at any moments of the trip!
We recommend to choose this company!

Fantastic experience, very well taken care of!
From the moment I contacted Jolie, I felt very well looked after. She answered all of my questions quickly and professionally and with great understanding and patience. Wonderful communication! The trip itself was once in a lifetime and our guide Eddie was calm and knowledgeable, fun and made us feel safe and welcome. The Haven Lodge in Buhoma is set in breathtaking scenery and was so peaceful. The staff there were so friendly and the food was delicious and well needed after the trek! Hot water, great WiFi (I mean, who needs it out there???) We visited a local community and it actually felt like they wanted to show us their story, not like some places where its a gimmick. We were welcomed and it was so much fun. My only down point is that I didnt have the time to stay longer. The travel is far, so if you can, stay for a few days and really explore the area. The gorillas are an obvious highlight but when I return, I know there is more magic to be uncovered!!! Highly recommend Achieve Global Safaris!

A safari to remember
I write this review while I am heading back to Nairobi after our 5 days Safari which organized by Native Africa Safari company and specifically by David “Mwangi”. and I can’t be more grateful or thankful than now.
When we planned to go for safari l, we contact many companies and we chose David’s itinerary and plan because of it was diverse and include the best reserves to do safari in Kenya and Africa plus it was the most affordable price comparing to all other companies with even better accommodations options than others.
Before our trip we had mixed opinions about the country and also about the weather in May ( heavy rain season) but we are thankful for David who communicated, answered and explained every questions we had about the trip.
Our trip was for Masai Mata for 2 nights , one night Naivasha , and last night Nakuru .. and I highly recommend to visit each of them and will find that each reserve has its own beauty and diversity.
By David’s long experience in Safari, we were able to see the big five animals and for many rounds. Also we we were lucky to see lions kill and haunt. In addition to this, we were able to see most animals babies. To be honest, I need full blog yo mention this spectacular experience and what I saw in it.
Now on our way back home .. we regret that we didn’t make our safari trip more than 5 days and many of this unforgettable experience credits goes to David who make us feels home and represents a real bright image of the Kenyan people by his caring, friendly, experienced and professional attitude.
And definitely.. I will back soon .. for more Safari with my new friend.. David “Mwangi”
