Friendly, Reliable. I would highly recommend Cheneso and her team ...
We travelled to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. To be honest, we initally chose Chenese by chance as our previous provider cancelled the service at the very last minute. We couldn't have been more lucky to find Cheneso Safaris. Cheneso is an amazing person. Very knowlegeable, very kind, very helpful. The same extend to her team. We've done several tours and, in the end of the trip, they drove us to Botswana, helped us to cross the border and also arranged transfer for us from the border to our destination in Botswana. I really look forward to use their services again.
The comany was very flexible and put all the efforts to adapat to our group needs. Very reliable, great company, nice car. I highly recommend them.

Once in a Lifetime Family Safari
We booked a five-day safari through African Big Cats and had the most incredible experience. Our family of four (mom, dad, 11-year-old and 9-year-old) had every expectation exceeded.
Our guide, Obed, was INCREDIBLE. He was patient and kind with our two very talkative kids, spending literally hours every day answering their questions about animals. He realized I love birds, and made sure to stop and point out interesting and rare birds and tell me everything about them. He was a great driver. navigating rough and windy roads with ease. He was generous and shared stories about his family and childhood, giving us a really special look at what growing up and living in Tanzania is like.
I know you can't predict what animals you will see, but Obed found EVERYTHING! Mama and baby elephants! A leopard hunting warthogs! Hippos playfighting! Lions lounging in trees and eating wildebeest just feet from our Land Cruiser! Rhinos!!!
If you have the opportunity to take a trip with Obed, DO IT. He is amazing, and I cannot say enough good things about him. Our safari experience was exceptional because of him.
Our accommodations were fantastic - everywhere we stayed was welcoming with great food. My family has dietary restrictions (no gluten, no dairy), and the chefs and staff at each lodge were so helpful and attentive, often going off menu to make sure we had wonderful meals.
We also spent four days in Zanzibar, which African Big Cats also planned for us which was also wonderful.
If you are planning to travel to Tanzania with kids, I highly recommend African Big Cats. They were communicative and accommodating both while planning and during our trip. This trip exceeded every expectation - truly an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Excellent service and communication.
We loved our experience with Hagyko. Bernard was very responsive and communicated frequently throughout the booking/planning process that gave us peace of mind and confidence that everything was being handled. From our pick to drop off we had an u forgettable trip. Our driver James was very knowledgeable and provided us incite into the culture and information about the animals throughout the trip. The accommodations and food were exceptional. I would highly recommend booking with Hagyko.

We really enjoyed the safari.
We were a little apprehensive when we started, but everything was perfect for us. Our guide Chombo picked us up at the airport on time and was helpful throughout the trip.
He even handled the language barrier well (we don't speak a foreign language well). It was perfect value for money. We highly recommend this tour operator.

Amazing
I had such a great experience with Amafrick Getaways. They were easy to communicate with, organized everything smoothly, and made the tour really enjoyable. The service felt personal and reliable, and it was excellent value for money. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle-free, memorable trip.

Attentive to his surroundings and understood client expectations
Every second is a memory made with savannah adventures. They made sure the excursion was a meaningful one. Tracking wildlife and making sure we got value for the package. The tour wasn't rushed it was breathtaking and for a moment we forgot the worries of the world.

A Great Way To See Uganda - Bucketlist Trip
Booking was easy and safe. The tour plan was totally customized to our needs. Isaac made several suggestions that were perfect. (Frankly, I had no idea what a Shoebill bird was...but having seen one, I highly recommend that excursion.) Some of the highlights were gorilla trekking in Bwindi national park, chimpanzee trekking (Kibale NP), a game drive in Lake Mburo NP, seeing rhinos in the reserve, and seeing 4 leopards! We also added a white water trip on the Nile just north of Jinja and the "Source of the Nile".
Dress for much cooler weather in the mountainous southern part of Uganda, and for much hotter weather near Murchison Falls in the northwest. Long safari pants and hiking boots are a must when trekking for gorillas and chimps. If you fill out the visa form online, then getting your visa at the Entebbe airport is easy. Access to ATM machines is decent (and Isaac knows where they ALL are!!). Also, we use T-Mobile for cell service in the USA and international access to 4G and 5G was plentiful.
And don't forget to pack a good attitude! This is a once in a lifetime trip to one of the worlds best places to see wildlife up close and personal.

Amazing Safari with Plex Safari and Francis the Safari Guide
Incredible experience with Francis as our Safari Guide. We could not have asked for a better driver or nicer person. He is also one of the best Safari guides with vast experience of the bush and Tanzania in general. Plex Safaris is a Great company to work through for a Safari. Well organised and very helpful. I would suggest flying part of the way as distances are vast. Southern part of Tanzania is unspoilt and you can view the game without the disturbance of other vehicles. We were privileged to see game in quantity with some very special sightings of leopard, Wild dog, Bat eared fox and more lion sightings than I have seen before. What an incredible experience. 5 star rating goes to Francis our guide and Plexis Safaris. .

Great experience
We booked Frena Adventures for our trip to Uganda and Rwanda in December 2025. Ronald, our guide and driver, was our first point of contact. Communication before our trip via WhatsApp was clear and easy - all our questions were answered.
Ronald picked us up at the airport of Kigali and from there our journey started. He is a great guide and driver, with good knowledge of the different areas, the distances that needed to be travelled and the time it takes to reach certain destinations. He made sure that our (very packed) travelling schedule was possible and gave us clear input on timing and visiting times.
During the trip, the car we were driving had a defect on the steering wheel (however we never noticed anything about this and were able to keep on driving). Frena Adventures arranged to swap cars mid-journey without losing any time or making any detours.
Ronald was also very helpful in arranging the best possible options for our visits to several national parks. It was very clear that he has good connections with the local guides, which resulted in smooth transfers and professional reception at all our destinations.
We would certainly recommend Frena Adventures for travels in Uganda and Rwanda.

AMAZING
I have traveled the world and have had many tour providers, this was by far the best experience I've ever had! From the moment I reached out to book until I was dropped off at the airport, the experience was seamless and stress free. I missed my flight and Sam was flexible, giving me peace of mind.
We did a safari in Nairobi, and the Masai Mara. There was glamping, the equator, Masai village, downtown Nairobi and a few unplanned stops. Sam and our driver James were knowledgeable and friendly the entire trip. Initially I thought I hired a tour provider, but I quickly realized I gained life long friends!
I would highly recommend Samton Safaris to anyone! I'm looking forward to going back to see more of Kenya as well as seeing my new friends while having a cup of coffee!
Thank you so much Sam & James!
