amazing experience
We went on a three-day safari in the Masai Mara. We are actually in the reserve for a day or so, the first day is a 5 hour drive. And an hour and a half in the reserve and the second day a full day in the reserve. On the third day we went to a Maasai village, an interesting experience but not mandatory and a bit too touristy, and from there we returned to Nairobi. The overall experience was good but we would have been happy for a little more time inside the reserve and to see more animals. We got the guide Jimmy who was just amazing! He knew how to answer every question we asked and took us to see all the animals we wanted on safari and took care of everything we needed during the days with him. Highly recommend asking him as a guide!

We had a excellent experience with pooja travel plus the guide given by them Mr. Godfrey was a good, soft spoken and knowledgeable about the safari . We had gone to serengetti and ngorongo crater with him , he showed us every corner of this places and saw many animals . We enjoyed with him. Thanks pooja travel and tours to give us this guide.

The operator went out of their way to ensure we were happy clients.
I'm grateful to have had the experience of visiting Rwanda and Uganda. My husband and I live in NZ while our friends we travelled with were from New York. Our view is that a safari should last for about 3 hours. Then we should either return to a lodge and food, or, have a picnic that includes good food. Our friends from New York didn't care about food. They wanted the safari to last all day and go into the night. Some days the safaris lasted 7 hours. No food! No pee stops! I wasn't happy about this. Itn would have been tough to keep two entirely different couples happy. The guides were excellent. My husband and I were diagnosed with Covid and missed seeing the Chimpanzees in Rwanda. We tested again 24 hours later and were negative. Covid is another challenge. We were anxious about our fitness levels but a porter kindly hauled me along (for $20 US). Our hikes to see the gorillas and chimps in Uganda (after Rwanda) were short and manageable. The guides in both Rwanda and Uganda were very, very good people and would have done anything to ensure we had a memorable experience. I would have preferred a newer Toyota Land Cruiser and also morning and afternoon teas. Leaving a lodge at 6:30am, or earlier, and not returning until 1pm from a safari just doesn't fit with my blood sugar levels. I like to eat every 3 hours. There's more to life than searching for elusive lions and leopards. The lunches provided by the lodges were depressingly unpleasant. The evening meals were usually quite nice. Don't expect good quality wines. Sometimes I was offered 'box red dry or sweet, or box white dry or sweet. The lodge staff were magnificent. All the people we met were just delightful and no doubt marvelled at our petty little issues.

Great experience to have in Kenia, got to see the big five, 4 of them in one day at Masai Mara. Jimmy, our guide was always helpful and ready to give us tips and info at any time. Having a good guide is always a must and Jimmy won't let you down . Couldn't ask for a better experience for my first safari a the beautiful Kenya.

Amazing, excellent communication and service
Sandra is a true professional and her communication and level of detail from our initial enquiry was exceptional.
We were really impressed with Elephant Plains Lodge in Sabi Sands. It really was more than we expected, from the accommodation to the staff and food, everything was just perfect.
Thank you so much for your wonderful service, it has really been a great experience for both of us and we have recommended you to all our friends and family and look forward to travelling with you again in future :)

Duteni Tours was a great experience for my family and I. The service was top notch. Everyone was friendly and open to answering questions. I would definitely recommend their tour service.

Recommended SA Tour Company!
Used this tour company for our first ever trip to SA from the UK. We chose the package that included 3 nights at the fantastic Ivory Tree Game Lodge, in Pilanesberg National Game Reserve. Communication was mainly via Whats App, which was so quick, easy and convenient & we also managed to get a very competitive rate/price. Everything ran smoothly & our drivers/guides were friendly & helpful. Unfortunately the return shared Airport transfer was slightly chaotic & we ended up changing mini-vans off the side of the motorway, However this was mainly due to the other guests (sharing transfer) running late. All in all, I would definitely use this company again & would recommend it to others, especially the regular visiting Virgin & BA Cabin Crew. It was worth every penny & a once in a lifetime trip. Thank you !
