Thank you for a wonderful 7 day safari. Godlove (Gordi), our guide, was well informed, polite patient and good humoured. Consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to view the big five. Thanks also to Moses who during our stays at camps made sure we were all well fed. All in all an unforgettable and recommended experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An unforgettable experience in Madagascar!**
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An unforgettable experience in Madagascar!**
Five stars, absolutely well deserved! We had an amazing trip, the perfect combination of adventure, breathtaking nature and unforgettable experiences. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire journey.
We had the chance to explore the incredible **Kirindy Forest** and the spectacular landscapes of **Tsingy de Bemaraha**. Two completely different places, but both absolutely stunning and unforgettable.
A special thanks goes to **Anatolin**, our guide. He is a young, knowledgeable, friendly and always-smiling guy who made the whole experience even more special. His passion, positive energy and attention to detail made us feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy every moment to the fullest.
We also stayed at **Akiba Lodge** and **Olympe du Bemaraha**. Despite some negative reviews we had read beforehand, our experience at both places was excellent. We were genuinely happy with everything: the hospitality, the service, the atmosphere and the overall experience. We really have no complaints!
An authentic adventure full of wildlife, nature, discovery and memorable moments. Highly recommended to anyone looking to discover the real Madagascar, beyond the usual tourist routes!
Thank you, Anatolin, and everyone involved for such an incredible experience! 🙏

Memorable safari
Our cycling club regularly looks for activities that allow members to spend time together beyond our usual rides. We wanted an outing that would offer a change of scenery and give everyone an opportunity to relax, socialize, and enjoy a different kind of adventure.
After discussing several possibilities, we chose Kenya Tour Budget Safaris. The booking arrangements were clear, and the planning process was manageable for our organizers. We also appreciated being able to communicate our group's expectations before the outing.
Although we normally spend our weekends concentrating on cycling routes and fitness goals, this experience allowed us to enjoy the journey without worrying about performance or distance. Members shared stories, took photographs, and discussed future club activities.
The outing was particularly valuable because it brought together members who did not always have much opportunity to interact during our regular rides. We returned feeling more connected as a group.
These guys helped us arrange an enjoyable alternative to our usual weekend activities. I would recommend the company to sports clubs and recreational groups looking for organized experiences outside their normal routines.

Nine Days of Incredible Wildlife and Beautiful Scenery
We recently went to the 9-Day Ndefu Expedition in SAFARI360. Everything was awesome from start to finish. The driver and guide were very friendly and knowledgeable. They gave a lot of information about the behavior of animals and the surrounding environment.
Huge herds of elephants and giraffes in Tarangire, the beauty of Lake Natron, the migration to Serengeti, and the Big Five at Ngorongoro Crater - all will be remembered forever. The lodges and tented camps were clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious.
Being a private tour, we have taken time as per our wish. I got a lot more than the price. I would highly recommend this tour to those who want to visit the Northern Circuit of Tanzania.

Amazing
Choosing Dav Safaris was the best decision; they handle everything perfectly, and their guide, Isaac Habiyaremye, was truly exceptional attentive at every moment. Thank you so much for giving me one of the best days of my life.

Professional
Our guide, Richie, was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to his rich experience and close communication with other guides, we were able to spot an incredible number of rare animals—and we even managed to see all of the Big Five! On top of that, the tour was much more reasonably priced compared to other companies. I couldn't be more satisfied and highly recommend them!

Sit back, relax and let yourself be guided – everything is taken care of for an unforgettable experi
Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. We booked a 4-day safari, starting in Tarangire, then heading to the Serengeti, and finishing in the Ngorongoro Crater.
From the moment we arrived at the airport, everything was taken care of. We didn't have to worry or think about a thing\! Every day, we received a WhatsApp message telling us what time to wake up, when breakfast would be served, and then we were ready to go. It was so nice to simply relax and enjoy the experience.
We absolutely loved all three parks\!
Day 1 – Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is very dense with wildlife. You can see so many animals, often very close, in a relatively short amount of time. It was a fantastic introduction to the safari experience. We spent the night in a hotel.
Day 2 – The journey to the Serengeti
This is when the real safari adventure begins\! The only thing I hadn't quite anticipated was the long journey. The Serengeti is quite far away, and it takes around 5–6 hours by car to reach the park before starting the game drive.
Only about an hour of this journey is on paved roads. After that, the real African massage begins\! The bumpy tracks make you realise why a proper safari jeep is essential.
That evening, we stayed in a bush camp. It was a wonderful experience, especially hearing lions roaring during the night\!
Day 3 – A full day in the Serengeti
An absolutely incredible day\! We spent the whole day exploring the Serengeti and saw so many animals. Our guide took us to some amazing spots and showed us spectacular wildlife encounters. We saw some truly unforgettable scenes.
In the evening, we drove towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where we stayed overnight, roughly halfway along the return journey. We also had the option of stopping at a Maasai village, which was a nice additional experience.
We spent the night in another camp, which was a little more comfortable than the previous one.
Day 4 – Ngorongoro Crater
The final day was the perfect way to end our safari\! The Ngorongoro Crater is absolutely breathtaking, with incredible landscapes and an amazing concentration of wildlife. A truly spectacular finale\!
What we particularly loved:
- Unlimited drinking water available in the vehicle.
- Freshly prepared meals cooked by a chef who travels with the group throughout the safari.
- An experienced guide who knew exactly where to find the animals and brought us incredibly close to some amazing wildlife encounters.
- The guide's explanations and knowledge about the animals, which made the experience even more interesting.
- Above all, the excellent organisation: we never had to worry about logistics or what was coming next.
A few things worth knowing before you go:
- Remember to budget for tips for both the guide and the cook, as these are not included in the safari price. As a guideline, expect around $5–10 per person per day for the cook and $10–20 per person per day for the guide. This is how tipping generally works on safari.
- Bring a sleeping bag liner for the nights in the tents. Sleeping bags are provided.
- Bring a face mask or buff to protect yourself from the dust, especially during the long drive on day 2.
- Be prepared for quite a lot of driving\! A safari can be tiring due to the bumpy roads, noise and dust. It's all part of the adventure, but it's good to know beforehand.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we couldn't recommend this company more highly\!
Everything was incredibly well organised, the guide was excellent, the food was great and the value for money was outstanding.
A huge thank you to the whole team for making this such an unforgettable experience. We would recommend this company without hesitation!

Great hosts providing memorable experiences
I had a great tour with Monteero safaris. I booked a 6 day budget private tour which included a tour of Kampala, boat cruise and game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park, gorilla trekking in Bwindi impenetrable forest, and walking safari in Lake Mburo national park. It was a great experience, and my guides Dennis and Alvin were brilliant, and great company given I was travelling solo. I learnt a lot from them about Ugandan culture and history. The wildlife and scenery on the trip were fantastic, and although I booked the budget tour option, all of the accommodations exceeded my expectations, with all the lodges we stayed in offering spacious rooms, great views and fantastic hospitality. I would recommend a tour in Uganda to anyone, and Monteero safaris left me with a memorable experience.
