Super organized Safari
I went on a 4-day safari with my wife with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris and it was great. We went to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Ive been on safaris in South Africa and Uganda but this one was the best. The accommodations were so relaxing and had a very thing we needed. Our driver, Fadhiri made it extra special as well with his knowledge of the parks and surrounding cities and towns, and his fun personality.

Jocko is a truly impressive person who is both extremely knowledgeable and fun to hangout with!
Our group had a very good experience. Of course Kruger was amazing but Red Safari does a great job of making the rest of the trip amazing too. They break up the driving with unique stops along the way and have picked out some really cool resorts you stay at that I don’t think you would find without them. I also can’t say enough nice things about our guide Jocko. He made a great trip even better with effortless charm, easy going attitude, and vast knowledge of the bush. It is easy to see that he really loves what he does.

Fun and professional!
Our trip with Ekibungo tours through Uganda was amazing. All accommodations were clean and cozy. Our guide Kiiza had everything perfectly arranged down to the smallest detail. A trip we will never forget!

Great tour operator with excellent communication and fantastic packages
My 3-night Masai Mara safari with Trav-Interactive was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, John did a great job communicating the different package options, payment, and answering any questions I had. I was able to confirm that Trav was a member of the TRA on their website. John was also able to customize a package for me from their standard options. David picked me up on time on the day of the safari from my hotel on time and was waiting for me at the airport to send me back to my hotel despite the plane being late.
The safari itself was amazing. I was able to see almost every animal in Masai Mara that I wanted (except the leopard and rhino, those are hard to find!). My game driver, Gabriel, was also very friendly, enthusiastic, and skilled at finding animals. Because it was low season, I was luckily upgraded to the Little Zebra Plains Camp, which was a very comfortable camp with very friendly staff, great food, a very nice tent, and a nice communal area with a bonfire and amazing stargazing.
If I had to complain, I would say that the Wi-Fi at the camp was effectively non-functional and the water you use to shower is salt water, so your hair will be sticky if you wash your hair. However, these problems are mitigated by very good 4G cell service (so you can still do basic work if needed) and ample free bottled drinking water (that you can wash your hair with). I would not consider these problems to be serious, and personally, I did not feel they detracted from my enjoyment of my safari.
All-in-all, I would 100% recommend going with Trav Interactive to book a safari and would absolutely book with them again the next time I come!

Environment, wildlife, and scenery amazing
Kenya is a beautiful country. The people are wonderful, we felt very safe here and every day was an experience. All of Kenya's famous national parks were amazing, the atmosphere was relaxed, the wildlife and scenery were simply amazing and there were so many great places to stay and the staff were so helpful. Norelle's Untamed Escapades was fantastic.

A+ Experience with Altezza on Safari
We did a 7 day trek on the Lemosho route to summit Kili with Altezza and then followed it up with a rest day, then 3 days of Safari with another rest day before flying back to the US. Altezza exceeded our expectation on both activities. We were booked in great accommodations: Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge for the two rest days and Mawe Mawe/Sound of Silence for two in the middle. Our guides were Rahim and Carlos. Rahim drove the Land Cruiser that I was traveling in and was excellent at driving, finding the animals and telling us about them. We had a group of 8 with two vehicles. The Land Cruisers were very comfortable - big windows that open, pop up roof, and refrigerator stocked with our requests as well as complimentary water and sodas. We visited Arusha National Park the first day and had a bush walk with an armed ranger. This day was about baboons and warthogs. The second day was Torangire where there are lots of elephants. Make sure your guide stops near a watering hole/large mud puddle as the Elephants will stop to spray themselves. The third day was Ngorongoro Crater which had everything except Giraffes (but we saw them at the two previous parks. The Lions were the big attraction at the Crater as well as more large herds of Zebra, Wildebeest and Water Buffalo. I had an excellent experience and the rate we paid for the safari was more than fair especially considering that many safari's are 10-15K. I could have done a few more days, but 3 was perfect, especially if you like to hike and want to make a run at summiting Kili. I also want to put in a special thanks to Robert who was our driver to the airport. The roads are easily blocked as they are just one way. Robert navigated a traffic jam by taking us down the backroads to get us to the airport on time.

The parks were very green and full of wildlife
We did a full 10 day 10 night safari with Sanzori Adventures visiting Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Tsavo National Park, Samburu, and Masai Mara National Reserve and we were very happy with the arrangement! Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about Kenya from him. He showed us all the animals we wanted to see. The parks were very green and full of wildlife. What we enjoyed the most was the wildlife and nature. We never thought we would see thousands of wild animals and zebras. We were overwhelmed and very happy to travel to Kenya with Sanzori Adventures.

Lamby was clear in his sharing of history of all the landmarks. He was very good!
Very orderly. Professional. The tours were done timely and explained well for foreigners who do not know much about Africa and its heritage

Trustworthy and affordable
I had a great experience with Ekibungo tours. It is a local owned business which made a big difference for me. Much more flexibility and time for spontaneous plans. Everything was well organised and we had a great experience of Uganda this way. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal
Unforgettable 4 days in Murchison Falls National Park with Roads of Adventure Safaris, 5/5. Eria was super flexible on bookings which made planning easy. We tracked rhinos at Ziwa on day 1, then 3 epic days in the park. Our guide Ronald’s spotting skills are unreal — lions, leopard in a acacia tree, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hyenas, and even a shoebill stork on the delta cruise. The boat trip to the base of Murchison Falls plus the hike to the top were breathtaking. Ronald is patient, fun, and a walking wildlife encyclopedia. We saw 5 of the Big 5 plus 50+ bird species and didn’t miss a thing. Great 4x4, perfect timing, cold water always ready. Murchison Falls is stunning, but a great guide makes it. Ask for Ronald and definitely book with Roads of Adventure Safaris
