5 days tour in Kenya
I have booked several tours with Gofan to different places within Kenya. Their service is reliable and trustworthy. I visited masaai mara, nakuru and naivasha which were unforgettably beautiful.. Special thanks to Gofan staff, Maria, for her support and guidance.

Great value and hassle-free experience
I’ve been dreaming of going on a safari forever and this trip exceeded my expectations! Went on a 5 day safari to 4 parks, so was able to see all that the region has to offer. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the animals and their whereabouts so we saw the big 5 and others in abundance. We had a cook with us who was very talented and the fresh meals were very large and much more appealing than the box lunches other groups had. Relaxing with a few beers around the campfire after a long day in the car was also very fun and unique to this tour. Bartho was very responsive and accommodating, which made this last minute trip for me possible. Being picked up from the airport and having lodging included before and after the trip was very convenient. Overall this trip was fantastic and I’m very glad I booked with Serengeti Wakanda!

Budget option, elite experience
One can hardly have any objective expectations as a first-timer going on a safari. I had been loaded with my companion's experiences of Africa and its wilderness long before we even booked the trip. I expected to see many animals and catch some unpleasant infections in almost two weeks of my adventure, so I took a whole pharmacy and an extensive survival kit with me.
Even my first impression was beyond my expectations: although we landed in another country, 6 hours drive and a state border away from the starting point of the safari, the driver was already waiting for us at the exit gate and took us directly to the apartment we had rented half a year before. All transfers were organized to the last detail, so we did not have to bother ourselves with finding any means of transportation from Kenya to Tanzania, and putting up with double prices that tourists must pay for everything.
The safari itself was almost out of this world. I really had not imagined, let alone expected to see such a diversity of wildlife. It has something to do with luck, I was told, but it also has a lot to do with our guide Francis and his assistant / apprentice Twalbu. They really did everything to fulfill all our wishes and enable us to catch many excellent photographic opportunities. I have to thank our excellent cook Ali for the delicious food that gave me no digestion problems at all, so I was able to spend my medicine on treating our hosts.
Mr. Humphrey does not only organize safaris, but also manages a hotel in Arusha, so one does not have to worry about accommodations while waiting for the adventure to begin and taking a short rest afterwards. Although my adventure was a budget option, it offered an experience that was above my expectations and I would recommend it to everybody. If it is absolutely impossible for you to put up with cold water or no water at all in some camps, you still have many options to take more luxury accommodations if you can afford them, of course. But spending nights in tents at open camps, never knowing if there will be any night visitors who might find you delicious and nutritious, is by itself an exciting experience. For your information: there actually were some hyenas, a buffalo and three Maribu storks that visited us, but no harm was done to anyone. Lyons decided to roar about a hundred yards away, but otherwise I did not get the impression that they would find humans to be interesting at all. Most of the time they simply and quite royally just ignored us.
I would sincerely like to thank the entire team: Humphrey, Francis, Twalbu and Ali for trying to make us happy guests and succeeding. I now understand all the addicts to Africa: after my first experience I might just well become one of them.

Safari in Selous
We booked everything through the fantastic woman Mwajabu Sultan at Tanzania Mwangaza Safaris & Tours. She arranged our days in Dar Es Salaam perfectly and then we went on a safari. Easy transfer by plane to the park. We had two fantastic days at Yoho Ya Selous which is a fantastic camp with wonderful rooms and staff. After the safari, we flew straight to Zanibar simply and smoothly for a week of relaxation.

6 Day 5 nights Private Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngoro and Lake Eyasi
Selected a private budget tour with Greg Adventures for me and my wife. We are seasoned safaris travelers and do at least 2 safari's a year in Southern Africa. Had a wonderful experience in the parks and saw amazing sightings, the Serengeti is an amazing place with the vast open plains which allows for great sightings especially for the cats. Anwar our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience a great one with some perfect alone sightings. Raymond was a great cook and companion and his cooking skills in the bush with limited resources is amazing. Put on a few kilos and there is so much variety of food at every meal.
The vehicle was a little on the old side with limited air conditioning. The tents and stretcher were comfortable and despite the heavy downpours at time, kept us warm and dry.
There is a tremendous amount of driving as the distances between the parks are far and the roads as one would expect in the wild are very bumpy and dusty. The ablutions in the parks were of a good standard and Tanzania Parks must be completed. I could imagine it gets very busy in the high season. The picnic sight toilets where the best on the trip. Our visit to Lake Eyasi was a little disappointing as the camp sight was not great. The experience with the bushmen was interesting. In retrospect could have missed this and spent another day in the Serengeti or visited Lake Manyara.

A excellent safari
The company attaches great importance to the feelings of the guests, which is very good. It is very convenient for Chinese sales agents to communicate in advance. The lunch box with hot rice and hot dishes is very suitable for Chinese stomachs. Our director William was very good this time. He had good driving skills and took good care of us along the way. Even when we had a picnic outside, we were very ritualized and took pictures, leaving us many wonderful moments.

14 day Uganda -Rwanda Gorilla, Chimp and Wildlife Safari
We recently completed a customized tour of Uganda with a volcano hike in Rwanda all arranged by Wild Jungle Trails Safaris. Our guide, Moses, did an amazing job of finding interesting wildlife for us to see, arranging boat trips, meals, lodging and answering all of our many questions about the wildlife, culture, geography, plants, foods etc of Uganda. Possibly the most amazing thing was to watch him navigate the roads - he was a true expert in driving up and down sheer mountains on bumpy unimproved mud roads and through the most crowded congested roads in Kampala that I have ever experienced. I remember Thanking God that he was driving over and over!! The lodgings provided ranged from adequate to downright luxurious. One tip - take some form of noise reducers - they don't insulate any walls here so you hear everything anyone does in the bathroom clearly and the nearby villages play music or preachers over loudspeakers well into the night.Thank you so much Teresa the lady in the office who organised the tour with my wife!! i truly recommend Wild jungle Trail safaris
