MY
Highly Recommend Animal World Safaris
A whole 15 day safari and the quality of everything we received was top notch. We did 3 countries, and 9 parks. Our dream was to do Gorilla trekking, Maasai mara, Amboseli, Ol Pejeta, Giraffe Center, Serengeti and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Then in addition, we visited Nairobi National Park, and Diani beach. The highlight of my safari was feeding Giraffes at the Giraffe Manor. Interacting with orphan Elephants at Sheldrick Elephant orphanage was magical. All this because Animal World Safaris listened and understood our interests. Thank You!
MY
Worth every coin
My 8 day safari with Dallago Tours was worth every coin. I was in Kenya for work and i decided to take a break and tour East Africa. This company is really amazing for they keep it professional. The guide I got was very friendly and we really bonded and became friends. The company's cars are well maintained, the drivers are experienced and you get exactly what you paid for. They make sure you have the best treatment whether at the parks or hotels. I got a chance to learn so much and interact a lot with so many wild animals.

Did not meet expectations
After a year delay due to the pandemic we finally made out trip to South Africa. I would first like to say that the Go Touch Down staff were friendly and accommodating. We started our tour at the Seasons Resort and Spa, we would not rate this as a five star resort there were many small maintenance issues that needed to be corrected, from loose door knob, no wash clothes for 4 days, towels not replaced, animal droppings on the miniature golf course playing area, bricks sticking up on with walking path. The restaurant on the property (only one) had a very limited menu offering and than a lot of the items were not available. The elephant sanctuary tour was fantastic, would highly recommend, also enjoyed the hot air balloon ride. The drive from Seasons to Dullstroom for the panoramic route was long however the sights were very beautiful. It started with a grab and go breakfast to enjoy while driving, ( a cheese sandwich, hard boiled egg and an apple) , not a usual American type of breakfast. Made three stops along the way. The Dunkeld Lodge was very nice, we had a late lunch in the 1883 dinning room, in the evening we had an outdoor fire with a dance performance and retreated into the bar area to enjoy the bbq that was prepared. Was a cool temperature for the time of the year but the fireplace in the room kept it warm and cozy. Next morning we left for Humala River Lodge, stopped in Dullstroom, would have enjoyed a longer stop in town, only had 30 minutes to walk around. than a long drive. Once we got to Humala we had to transfer from the van to the game jeep for a 45 minute ride from the entrance out to the lodge. The lodge was everything we expected it to be, little cold as it got down to 39 degrees one night, the game drives we great. The only negative might have been at there is no menu , you get what the cook prepares. For us luckily it was all good and we enjoyed everything but for some people it could be a problem .
Humala was what you expect Africa to be. We again had an outdoor bonfire and Swaziland dancers did a show. Since this is a game reserve the amount and type of animals are limited. Than a long drive back to Seasons Resort. with a stop at Lion and Safari Park. The animals here are in large fenced in areas that you are driven through, have a good variety of animals but it is a captive situation. Next day it was drive to Pilamesberg National Park. again we had grab and go breakfast to eat in the car (tuna sandwich which no one ate) at the park we choose the open jeep and had a very good guide. Highlight here was watching the parade of 17 elephants going to the water hole, the restaurant at the park was closed so we ended up at Blimpies a fast food hamburger restaurant. Next day it was off for the hot air balloon ride which had been delayed from day to until the next to last day. We originally received a very detailed itinerary for the trip, it was however in constant state of flux as tours changed, and due to the pandemic some tours were cancelled or only parts of them were available.
Overall for the cost you get a lot with the tour, meals, transportation in country, some tour guide local tours it is not a high end tour but it is a good tour, more detail to the property maintenance at Seasons and what US visitors are expecting could be improved. Expect to spend a lot of time driving 6 people plus the tour guide in a 2 row van.

Mount Kilimanjaro Climb
Almighty Kilimanjaro did a great job planning and organizing our trek. From airport pickup till when we were dropped off again at the airport to carryon with the rest of our trip. We had a team of 10 people; 2 tour guides, 6 porters, a chef and chefs assistant. Each person on the team made us and our safety a priority. Our tour guides, Innocent and Dianna were very patient and encouraging throughout the climb which made it very comfortable for us. And we had a liaison, Ralph who did an excellent job executing our itinerary and along with Innocent, showing us around town and introducing us to the culture!
The only suggestion for improvement I have is to provide a bit more variety to the food choices we had.
Great experience overall and would absolutely recommend them!

Touring and camping with the best tour company;Bovid Africa Safaris.
Was privileged to join a group of friends who went camping with Bovid Africa Safaris. Our journey started and first destination was compas resort at Ngong hills where we enjoyed several activities including archery and zip lining. Thereafter we hiked up and down the seven hills to Kona baridi. The hike was enjoyable to evryone. After refreshment we headed to Olorgesailie Prehistoric Site for camping and arrived there safely.The beautiful tents were quickly set and Bonfire was lit.As the staff prepared dinner we enjoy the bonfire chatting.After dinner we went to rest. Early morning we toured Lake Magadi then later returned back for lunch. Our camping was over and we traveled back safely. For camping try Bovid Africa Safaris you won't regret, thank you.

Unbelievable Safari Experience!!!!!
I would highly recommend Best Day Safaris for your next safari. This company went above and beyond to make sure my experience was one of a lifetime.
The accommodations were excellent with friendly and professional staff. My tour guide Jackson was incredible. Super friendly and outgoing as well as incredibly knowledgeable of all the animals, plants, and surroundings. Coming from the US I was very concerned about obtaining a Covid test to return. The travel.gov site indicated that I would not be able to get my test back within the time required. Best Day Safaris not only assured me I would receive the results in time; they took the responsibility of taking me to pay for the test at the bank and then escorted me to the hospital to get the test. This was not included in the package I purchased. They did this out of complete kindness.
I loved every minute of my vacation from the breathtaking landscapes to the vast amount of animals in their natural environment. I was hesitant to visit the Massai but I can tell you that they were extremely welcoming and excited to invite us into their village. I would recommend stopping in to learn how they are living with the land.
I will be returning to the Serengeti and will be doing it with Best Day Safaris has my tour company of choice!!!!!

Courteaous and attentive with great game sightings.
Trina Concepts offered us a wonderful experience touring Nairobi National Park, with prompt pick up from our complex in Nairobi at 6:30am in a very impressive Toyota 4x4 truck with raised roof for viewing game. Both driver and our guide (Susan) were attentive and knowledgeable, sharing further information on the animals we were seeing giving greater depth to our game viewing experience. They were also quick to accomodate the needs of parents traveling with children. We finished our tour with a picnic next to the very moving site where tonnes of rhino and elephan horn/tusk have been burned to curb the trade of ivory so an educational experience for us all. Thank you for a very memorable day out! We hope to return.
