Well organised and easy to deal with tour operator, responds to queries quickly.
This was our first trip with Rhino safaris and I was very impressed. Passage through the airport and meet and greet by our guide was simple. The vehicle used was spacious clean and well laid out for photography. A guide was knowledgeable friendly and a pleasure to be with. We stayed at Kibo Safari camp and this was very nice. The food was good the stuff friendly and the accommodation good. My wife particularly enjoyed visiting a local Maasi village. I will definitely be doing another Safari with Rhino tours.

Unique experience!
We would like to sincerely thank the entire Suricata Team for an absolutely unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations in every possible way!
A very special thank‑you goes to Edward, who planned our safari. His extremely thoughtful, flexible, and reliable planning made everything feel effortless and perfectly tailored to our needs. We felt in the very best hands from the very first contact.
Our deepest appreciation also goes to Amiri, our safari guide. His incredible experience, deep knowledge, and calm confidence, combined with a wonderfully warm and friendly personality, created an atmosphere we will always remember. Traveling with him was not only fascinating, but truly joyful.
The entire experience—from the initial planning through the final day—was flawless. Absolutely recommendable in every way. It was an experience of a lifetime, and we would choose you again without hesitation.
We are already looking forward to coming back for our Kilimanjaro climb—without question, it will be with you again.
Thank you for everything. We will remember this safari forever.

Incredible Uganda safari with abunda discoveries
I had a memorable trip with Abunda Discoveries Uganda visiting Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park. The team was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, making everything smooth from start to finish. The journey itself was beautiful,lush landscapes, vibrant communities, and amazing wildlife. Bwindi’s forest experience was unique, while Queen Elizabeth offered stunning savannah views and diverse animals. Everything was well-paced, and the long drives were made enjoyable with scenic stopovers. Abdul is an excellent guide ,very professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He made the trip comfortable and engaging, always sharing interesting insights and ensuring i had the best experience throughout. Uganda is truly a beautiful country, and Abunda Discoveries made me experience it in the best way. I’ll be happy to visit again. Highly recommended!

A tour operator you can trust. Thanks David
David and his crew were attentive to our needs at all times, responding very quickly to our questions and concerns. He handled all our requests promptly and professionally. The safari was excellent, Kenia & Tanzania, and we were lucky to see many animals thanks to the skill of the profesional drivers, who were very good. We stayed in budget camps, where the value for money was fair. If you’re unsure which operator to choose, you can feel confident choosing David
Amazing

Three fascinating weeks of nature and culture
Back from a three-week solo trip through Ethiopia, filled with fantastic memories...
Although planned relatively last minute (just under three weeks from the initial idea to departure), Franziska from Simien Eco Tours managed to perfectly blend nature, culture, and my main requirement of "no stress" into the tour plan. She even accommodated a slight change of plans because the hippos weren't where they were supposed to be...
So, after arriving in Addis Ababa early in the morning, I didn't immediately catch the next flight – even though Addis isn't exactly the place for relaxing. I took a stroll, lazed around a bit, and then, refreshed, traveled to Lalibela the next day. The unforgettable experience of Orthodox Easter, including participating in the age-old ceremonies, wrapped in a white robe, among thousands of worshippers, was probably my most memorable moment.
So, after arriving in Addis Ababa early in the morning, I didn't immediately catch the next flight – even though Addis isn't exactly known for its tranquility. On the journey to the Simien Mountains, the air became noticeably thin (lodge at 3300m) and cool. A morning hike led to a close encounter with a large troop of baboons (my guide: "No problem, you can go slowly closer" - why was the local guide armed again? Oh yes, potential leopards...) and a fantastic view of the mountains.
We continued by car to Lake Tana - an extensive boat trip, just the right prelude for me, a native of Lake Constance, to an impressive visit to one of the many monasteries on the islands.
The strenuous drive to Tis Abaye was more than compensated for by the hike to the Blue Nile Falls. Here, too, it became clear that the common practice in Ethiopia of hiring a local guide at every location makes for interesting stories. Here, too, the guide seemed to know everyone we met and always had a friendly word for us.
The drive through the Great Rift Valley to Hawassa and a hike along the rift rim to the hot springs really brought home just how ancient this land is...
Arba Minch then became my "no-stress" base for several days of interesting excursions on Lake Abaya and to the Dorze and Konso villages. Thanks to the local guides, the experience was relaxed, fun, and full of warmth – and in the afternoons, I enjoyed a few laps in the decadent tourist pool ;) ...
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, never felt unsafe, and always felt well taken care of. Throughout the entire journey, I had an exceptionally attentive ("you have to drink more!!"), knowledgeable, and friendly guide. Even the significant impact of the Iranian crisis was handled well thanks to the perfect organization by Simien Eco Tours. Even bringing binoculars (think carefully about whether you really want them) was made possible through the patient efforts of Marco at customs and my guide on every single domestic flight.
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, never felt unsafe, and always felt well looked after. My sincere thanks to the whole team and here's the sixth star "*", because I could only give five.

Trip of a lifetime to Kenya
We had the most incredible experience with Imara Africa Safari and truly made memories that will last a lifetime. From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless and stress-free. The team was extremely responsive and accommodating, happily amending even the smallest of details to ensure everything was perfect for us. Before we even arrived, they went above and beyond by assisting with a visa issue, having it sorted for one of us within just 30 minutes, which was absolutely amazing.
Our itinerary was thoughtfully planned and executed with outstanding attention to detail. We visited the Masa Mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Diani Beach, with every stop organised flawlessly. We were even met in Nairobi upon arrival, which made everything feel smooth and welcoming from the start. The accommodation, food, and people we encountered throughout the trip were all fantastic, and the entire experience was excellent value for money.
The highlight of our trip, without a doubt, was our driver, Anthony. He was patient, kind, and incredibly generous with his knowledge. He truly made our trip. Anthony is a complete gentleman and a real credit to Imara Africa Safari. We loved spending time with him, both during our game drives and in the evenings getting to know him. He made sure we saw absolutely every animal possible, and many of the unforgettable moments we experienced simply wouldn’t have happened without him. One particularly special touch was when he went off track to show us tea plantations after we mentioned how much we enjoyed Kenyan tea, something as Irish people we were very grateful for! He waited at every point for us to observe the animals in our own time, take photos and never rushed the experience for us. We enjoyed his calm and relaxed nature and it added to our experience.
We cannot recommend Imara Africa Safari highly enough. This was a truly special trip, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make it perfect. We are especially delighted to have made a new friend in Anthony.
