An amaizing experience
The service was very nice from my arrival in Nairobi to the end. Erick tried really hard to make me go through the itinerary even though I was the only person for the Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park. I did have a good safari tour and hope to have another one soon.

A Gateway to Unforgettable Adventures and Lasting Memories
I had the pleasure of embarking on a 2 night, 3 day tour of Murchison National Park Safari in Uganda with an exceptional tour guide. This experience was truly unforgettable, thanks to the guide's Living from Uganda Family Tour extensive knowledge, professionalism, and passion for the region.
Throughout the journey, the guide demonstrated a deep understanding of the park's flora and fauna, enriching our exploration with fascinating insights and anecdotes. Their ability to spot wildlife and point out significant landmarks added immeasurable value to the trip.
Moreover, the guide's friendly and accommodating nature created a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for the entire group. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the journey.
The itinerary was well planned, allowing us to witness the park's diverse ecosystems, from the powerful Murchison Falls to the vast savannah teeming with wildlife. The guide's commentary provided context to our surroundings, making the experience both educational and awe inspiring.
Overall, the tour guide played a pivotal role in making this excursion to Murchison National Park an enriching and memorable adventure. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a well guided and immersive experience in this remarkable natural habitat.

Safari experience met bucket list expectations
We travelled March 1 - 15 2017 with Go Touch Down, one week in Capetown and one week on the Johannesburg tour which included 3 days safari at Kapama River Lodge. Our stay in Capetown met more than our expectations from the one bedroom apartment to the "Gordon Ramsay" meals to our efficient guide. The only bump in the road was our two day stay at Dunkeld Estates prior to our safari. We travelled as a group of 4 and had booked the trip in 2015. Upon arrival we were told that they were overbooked and that we would have to stay in a Fisherman's Cabin 10 min walk away from our friends who were put in a guest suite. When I questioned the manager why we were separated from our friends when the booking was placed in 2015 she told me room assignment did not have anything to do with when the reservation was made, and that it was not her problem. What we found in the cabin was one hanger in the closet, a front door that would not latch, to keep it closed one had to lock it, no safe, television that did not work, and no phone to call someone for assistance so we had to walk the 10 min back to reception to get someone, no lighting at night to walk back to the cabin all the while hoping that we were able to spot the horse dung that had been deposited along the way. Service in the restaurant very slow. We were the only table for all 3 meals we had there, and dinner took 2 hours to complete. Our friend who was in a guest suite found what looked like potato bugs walking on the bathroom floor both nights of our stay. I sent a letter to the C.O.O. of Go Touch Down 4 weeks ago outlining my experience and to date no reply and at this point do not expect one.
I found Go Touch Down in Oakville to be more than accommodating and organized. I would recommend travelling with them for the Capetown tour, but as Dunkeld Estates is owned and operated by Go Touch Down
avoid the Johannesburg tour, and book with someone else. The safari portion at Kapana River Lodge was outstanding . It provided excellent accommodations and the thrill of seeing 4 of the 5 Big Five up close and personal. Never did I expect to have a male lion walk right passed the safari vehicle or a giraffe standing two feet away.

Well organised Safari
This was our first Safari and it was a nerve wrecking experience to book something suitable within our budget. The booking procedure by Safarihub was very straight forward and their assistance in tailor making a Safari was second to none. Our tour driver was very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed what the Tanzanian National parks have to offer. We look forward to booking our second Safari in the not so distant future.

12 day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire
We wrote off to half a dozen companies, most of whom came back within a couple of days, however, Simon at EASTCO seemed to have a more professional approach and the accompanying explanatory documentation was extremely helpful and just what we were looking for. Although his was probably the most expensive, we preferred his suggestion of starting in Mwanza rather than Arusha. For the first week we stayed in ‘special’ campsites which means that you take in everything you need – water, food, dig your own loo and a much more basic way of living. A bit more expensive than staying in public campsites but so much nicer. We also stayed in a couple of beautiful lodges during the second week - Boundary Hill in Tarangire was one of the most stunning places I've ever stayed in. In terms of equipment, the tents could do with a bit of repair and the Landrover was old but serviceable but it wasn’t an issue for us. We stopped a few times to help the newer Landcruisers who had broken down but our Landrover drove through anything and, to be honest, in wet season you would need this type of vehicle to access some of the places we went to. Tanzanian people are the loveliest, friendliest ever. I felt incredibly safe and everybody we met was helpful and courteous. Our guide, Cosmos, was absolutely superb and I cannot speak highly enough of him – cheerful and hugely knowledgeable. EASTCO is a good organisation and I would certainly recommend them and use them again. All accommodation was well organised and any minor issues were sorted out very quickly.

Efficient and friendly
The booking process was easy we used a great lady by the name Robi, and our reservation were sent on time. She was reachable by phone and tracked our arrival day and departure day. One of the hotels was not aware of our arrival day but a call to Robi and it was immediately sorted.
