Meeting the Maasai and safari in Amboseli
Our full day trip to meet the Maasai and experience Amboseli National Park was nothing short of amazing and an experience we will never forget.
Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and had a great sense of humor. The Safari was spectacular. We saw a huge number of animals including lions, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, zebras and elephants. Lunch was at a lodge in the park which was a great african inspired venue serving good food.
The visit to meet the Maasai was really good. Entertaining as much as educational about the way they lived, their culture and how they treated disease and sickness. An experience that won't be forgotten. The downside, and Im being picky here was at the end when we were pushed heavily to purchase items they pretend are made by the Massai in the village at extremely expensive prices, when they are nothing more than mass produced souvenirs found at every airport throughout Africa. Otherwise, and extremely good day from start to finish.

What a luxury Treat
One of a kind! I stumbled onto Dav Safaris when I was searching the web for a tour that would cover the primates & Masai Mara. Reagan, who coordinated my tour was amazing! He was very communicative and professional. If you are having a hard time deciding what level trip to do, I highly recommend the luxury trip, it will be worth every penny! The lodges are with it!
Uganda
I was picked up from my hostel in Entembee by Arafat, my driver. He was great and made sure I enjoyed my experience. The vehicle was always clean and comfortable. We heading from there to my first lodge, Turaco Treetops. On the way we stopped at the equator then when we were closer to the lodge, for a cultural experience which was nice. I wish I had arrived at the lodge sooner because it was that amazing, one night is not enough time there! The next day we headed to Kibale National Park for the chimpanzee hike, which was unforgettable! After the hike we headed to the next lodge, Mahogany Springs. Along the way we used a through road in Queen Elizabeth National Park and was lucky to see elephants, water buffalo, lions and a hippopotamus! The next morning I went to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park for the mountain Gorillas. I saw a family that had a 6 month old baby and 2 silverbacks! After the hike I did another cultural experience which was also nice. The following morning we headed to Kampala for a sleep before heading to Jinja for whitewater rafting, which was the most amazing reading I have ever done!
Kenya
I was picked up from the airport by Henry, my driver. He was great, he made sure I enjoyed my Safari's and the vehicle was always in great condition and comfortable. He dropped me off at a hotel in Nairobi and the next day we headed for my lodge, Zebra Plains, outside of the Talek Gate to Masai Mara National Reserve, where I stayed for two nights. On the way we stopped to see the rift valley. Once I got to my lodge, I checked in, had lunch then headed out for an afternoon Safari. The next morning I did the hot air balloon experience out of the Fig Tree Camp, within the Reserve. If you are on the fence with this experience, do it! After the balloon ride we had a champaign breakfast then I was brought to my driver and we had a full day safari. The next day we drove through the park from the Talek Gate out the main gate, shortly after we stopped so I could visit a Masai village, which was very enjoyably. We then headed to Nairobi where he dropped me off at my hostel.

TRIP OF A LIFETIME
Sarah and her team have been nothing short of incredible. I booked my entire 2 weeks of a Kenya tour with them. Everything down to the T was effortless and precisely detailed. I have previously worked in the travel industry so had a hawk eye on all the operations. It was perfect!! We had David kibe as a driver, he was soooo informative and knowledgeable. He was an excellent driver and patient.
I am already looking to book my next trip with Bamba

Unforgettable Botswana Experience
We had an incredible 6 days / 5 nights safari organized by Uncovered. Muza, our guide did an excellent job, trying to fulfill all our needs and requirements, he is an excellent driver and a very good company. Archie, the Operations Manager, was very quick with his responses and able to offer alternatives at all times. The trip was well organized, the accommodations well-chosen and the value for money was fair. We recommend Uncovered Safaris unconditionally for trips to Southern Africa and are looking forward to come back. Thank you sou much, Archie an Muza!!

EXCELLENT
Mansoor was an excellent guide who I would recommend to anyone. Currently living in the East African region we will also travel with him again. He was a true professional and incredibly knowledgeable of the environment and animals. He had excellent recommendations for accommodation and any other queries we had. Best guide we have ever had

Travel with the experts - simply made my holiday
When you only have a short time for travel, you can’t afford to make mistakes. Garth and the Jenman Safari team went out of their way to ensure I was well prepared for the trip and went above and beyond to ensure the trip went as soothly as possible.
Zimbabwe is a gem, but travelling with the experts ensures you get the most out of your trip in the time you ar their. Often in travel you get what you pay for, my experience with Jenman Safaris is you get way more for your money. Their passion for what they do is on display all the time, for that reason some they are the go to for me. The guides and staff zi encountered along the journey paid great attention to detail, had great knowledge of the area and the wildlife with no request to big to deal with.
I absolutely loved my trip, I would not do it with anyone else. Five star service all round Jenman Safaris

The most genuine humans ever
I booked a safari Samburu, Ol Pejeta , Masai mara and Nakuru with Nelson however after Samburu I went out on my own and my drink got spiked by a stranger and got robbed and drugged and my whole bank account emptied and everything stolen
Nelso and his beautiful sister immediately stepped up for me , more than my own Australian embassy and the corrupt police and stood by my side day and night and took me to every relevant department to get some help.
They even stepped up financially considering I had no money left after the robbery.
Safari in Samburu was amazing and spotted all the animals I wished to see and I don't think I would have survived this whole ordeal without the help of Nelson and his sister Monicah. I truly can't thank them enough for the immense kindness they have given me

Incredible!
We had a great experience with African Polecat. Booking a trip like this from a distance is not easy and James was very communicative and made everything clear, which was decisive when choosing their company.
The safari itself was absolutely incredible, our guide Aron went over and beyond to show us the most authentic wild life in the Taragire Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
We were super lucky and saw some really rare and raw scenes, we came back to Arusha completely amazed.
Food was great and the accommodation organised by them was too.
Super recommend!
