I was looking for the best and perfect place to celebrate my special anniversary from,Mr.Graham Kalande was the person that came to my mind.I contacted him and he executed more what I wanted.I really enjoyed my timely travels,hotel room where I spent my two nights,the delicious meals at AA Masai Lodge and not forgetting the bonfires that was spiced up with a Masai dance,the cake and fine for the event.
Then came the game drives,aawww!!what a feeling one could crave for.The driver/tour guide Mr.Martin really just did a perfect job.We enjoyed seeing wild animals,perfect sceneries,park lunches and bot forgetting the wonderful interactions with tourists from other nations.What a moment that was!
Last but not list,we had the rare chance if learning and understanding the Masai traditional culture.It was a real time experience I have been craving for in years.The Masai ornaments I bought will act us the best memories for the years to come.We left the Masai Mara on time and arrived at our home on time and safely.Thank you so much Extra Miles Unique Adventures,Driver/Guide Mr.Martin and one Mr.Graham Kalande for the best package that served our need.Excellent experience.

excellent
First of all, communication with Arnold was excellent, he kept all his agreements.
We had a very nice safari, nothing to complain about.
The price quality ratio was good.
I was pleasantly surprised by the food during the safari, they have never disappointed us, the food was prepared on site by an excellent chef.
The driver was always very cheerful you could ask him anything it was never a problem.
Very very friendly people I recommend it to everyone.
Thanks for everything.

Megan and Steve are professional, friendly ,helpful ,listened to our needs and gave excellent advice
We discovered Discover Africa in October when we first went to the south of Namibia . They organised such a fantastic trip then that we decided to use them again. It also gave us a flexibility that you needs in these covid times if you need to change your bookings due to covid. We chopped and changed our dates a few times but they were always accommodating and fitted in with our requests. Their service and communication is excellent.
Our accommodation ranged from basic ( our choice on 2 occasions) and luxurious.
Discover Africa organised a Toyota Fortuna for us in Windhoek and we drove to Okaukuejo camp inside Etosha for 2 nights ( our choice ) Megan managed to secure us a waterhole premium chalet even though they were very busy. Even though it was basic and very busy because of school holidays , the premium chalets are really worthwhile to stay in for the early morning light and the animal viewing. Thereafter we drove through Etosha to Onguma the Fort which was magical and luxurious. So many opportunities for game viewing at their waterhole and game drives. We would definitely go there again.
Our travels took us north along the Kunene river and then back south again.
Other places we loved staying at were the Kapika falls lodge at Epupa falls and then further south at Camp Kipwe near Twyfelfontein. Camp Kipwe was isolated , loved the desert landscape , the sunsets, the staff , the food, the accommodation, everything. Other highlights were the desert elephant tour and the tour to burnt mountain,organ pipes and Twyfelfontein rock engravings. We would definitely go back there again.
Our last stop outside Windhoek was Omaanda hotel - luxurious , relaxing , beautiful pool , lovely staff and opportunities to do game drives walks etc
We had so many different wonderful experiences which can’t be captured in a short synopsis
Thank you Megan and Steve for making our trip so memorable

They really care
I love baboon safaris. I even went 3 times with them. The owner is very, very kind, he even met me for coffee!!, and he always gave me great drivers,one was called Dennis (for a 1 week trip and a 3 day trip) and he was the best guide ever and one was Anthony and he also was stunning. They REALLY cared for me. I went alone and so it is important you can trust. You can. I d always choose them again. The more expensive the accomodations the better the experience will also be, so I plan to choose their best accomodations always. They really help you immediately, even if it's just a stop for a coke. Anthony identified the tiniest grey birds for me. We saw the wildebeast migration, guess Dennis gave me the best place to film it, he was so motivated to make it the best for me. Miss you all. Hope to be back soon. Dennis wanted to drove non stop from 6 to sunset so that I get the most out of it. Really really so devoted.

Caring, knowledgable and always had our best interests at heart.
Exceptional Service from a Company that Cares
Gorilla trekking has always been a high priority on my bucket list. My friend and I began our research for a trip to Uganda in October. After corresponding with several companies it was obvious that Edison, the owner of Bamboo Ecotours Ltd., was the first person to go above and beyond answering every question (and there were many) that we put forth. He suggested we search for the best price for airfare and he would then suggest our itinerary. He did not disappoint ! A major hurdle at the beginning of the trip necessitated overnighting in Amsterdam as our flight from Newark was delayed by three hours to Brussels. We were delayed by one day and Edison managed to rearrange the complete trip. Just the task of moving permits for the Gorilla trek was a huge task not to mention our three other treks or hotel accommodations.
Finally arriving a day late and standing in line at lost baggage for over one and a half hours our adventure was to begin. As luck would have it the lost bag contained clothing I had sent to bring to the Batwa Village so my personal items were with me. Edison to the rescue again. When the bag finally arrived four days later he retrieved the bag from the airport and managed to deliver it to us along the route.
Everything from this point on can only be described as magical.
From the time we met our driver Fred at the airport to the night he returned us luggage and gifts in tow he stood by until we had passed through the strict Covid testing procedure. The company scheduled our test and made sure we were taken to the sight. Just one of the many gestures that made the experience stress free.
From trekking to see Rhinos, Gorillas, Chimpanzees and the most beautiful Golden Monkeys in the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (where the Gold meets the Silver) every day was a new and exciting adventure. Safari drives, boat cruises and excursions by canoe to the Mabamba wetlands to discover the elusive Shoebill. When we weren’t accompanied by a ranger our driver Fred was an excellent spotter and pointed out so many wonderful bird species as well as wildlife. The first beautiful view of 1/1/2022 over Lake Mutanda with the mist topping Mount Muhabura, Mount Sabyinyo and Mount Gahinga will forever be
etched in my memory.
Every thing Bamboo Ecotours Ltd. promised was delivered and more so much more. Thank you so much Edison and Fred. The people of Uganda are gentle and welcoming. This was my fourth trip to Africa and I have to say do not miss a chance to visit Uganda - “The Pearl of Africa”.

We went on two safaris for our honeymoon and this was by far THE BEST.
My wife Julianna and I went on our honeymoon in Uganda. Khuzair was THE BEST safari guide ever. We left as friends. He was so knowledgeable, funny, professional, and fun to be around. A safari requires a lot of time in the car and we were so happy to spend our time with Khuzair and Africa Adventure Vacations.

Refueling our souls on safari with Benson's
We were now already for the second time on the road with Benson Safaris (first time in 2019). It was not only about landscapes, animals and impressions. The special challenge: We shot professionally. This only works if safari guide and photographer/filmer form a perfect team. In both cases we were lucky to have Peter as our guide. Very quickly he understood how we think and what we need. Peter's profound knowledge of the Serengeti and the crater gave us lots of great opportunities for sightings and he made (almost) every wish possible with a lot of commitment. Also vehicle and organization of Benson Safaris are perfect. We always felt safe and cared for. Our son learned a lot including some Suaheli. If you wonder when to visit the Serengeti, now is the time, as not too many people were around. We will be back again with pleasure!
