Amazing guide and a well organised tour company
I would just like to express my sincere thanks to Safari With Us for the holiday.
South Africa was the 50th country that I have visited and I have to say that we really enjoyed every minute of it. We enjoyed it so much that we all rate it as the best family holiday we have ever had.
When we have travelled to new countries we have had a tour guide with us for approximately 75% of the trips, and I have to say that Machiel has been the best guide that we have had. Great work Machiel - well done.
It was a great pleasure to have such a friendly, funny, warm-hearted, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide. Machiel really did a fantastic job and we all appreciated his service.
The organisation of the tour was excellent and the whole two weeks experience ran like clockwork so a big thumbs up to Andre for that.
Thanks a lot guys….it was a real pleasure and a truly memorable experience.

A wonderful experience!
After browsing online to decide on a safari tour, we came across Africa Flash MC. We really liked the tours and the prices - relatively the ones with the most value.
We contacted them to see if it is possible to arrange different pickup locations to better suit our needs (we started off from Malindi). Peter replied to all our queries and was incredibly helpful, creating a custom safari combining all the locations we wanted to visit.
Our safaris were guided by Simon, and we must say, he was an amazing tour guide! He was always prompt and on time; he answered all our questions, and he went the extra mile to give us the best tourist experience. He always went out of his way and never tried to cut drives short in any way.
The van was comfortable and was cleaned even during the 5 days we spent with Simon. Drinking water was available, as well as binoculars and a lovely animal checklist where we ticked off all the animals we saw, from lions to cheetah, zebras, giraffes, elephants and much more!
All this + the incredible customer service and friendliness from both Simon and Peter made our experience memorable and a great one to share with our family.

A flawless Adventure booked with Right Choice, a great company to deal with.
Excellent communication between myself and Millicent to complete the booking and make changes once deposit paid. The level of service is absolutely excellent and makes the safari adventure perfect with the itenary. I would recommend Right Choice Tours to everyone due to the way everything is done for you and they go above expectations. As for the actual Safari, our driver Jacob was brilliant, great knowledge and history of the Masai Mara park and animals.
Would definitely book again and recommend.

Day tour in Kigali
Hello,
Had a short business trip in Kigali and managed to get a free day for me. Silverback Expeditions was very quick to book this tour for me just the day before and planned an amazing day for me exactly how I wanted including that sushi I was craving for to end the day. Thanks so much!

It's such an amazing tour company that is keen and cares a lot about their clients.
From the MangiEMPIRE Adventures showed their high standard by answering fast and accurate on all email communication. We choose a 4 days Mid-range safari covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. All accommodations from lodges to tented camps were very good, sometimes better than we expected. As we were 4 persons we had a private vehicle to ourselves. Our driver/guide did his utmost to give us the safari experience of our life, being extremely good on spotting animals and knowing where to go in the parks. He took us safely between the parks, and did not take any unnecessary risks in the traffic, as we saw other drivers do. He was always very correct and easy to be around! The best park was Serengeti! We found ourselves in the middle of the migration which was a big bonus and we saw the big five and many, many Lions, one big experience was a cheetah jumping up on our car, talk about close encounter. We had high expectations when choosing this Safari, and MangiEmpire Safaris delivered all the way; I can really recommend This Company!

The best experience in Africa
My experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris was great. From the beginning to the end. I arrived in Kenya on Monday 3rd morning and I did not have much time to be in the country, all I knew was that I wanted to do a 4-day Safari and could not waste time. I researched on the Internet and got the number of one of the organizers of this company (Alex). I wrote very late the day of my arrival and wanted to book to start the next day (Tuesday). Alex told me that he did have available space and that they would pick me up at 7:30 am. They were very punctual. On the way to Masai Mara our transport had a mechanical damage, we had to wait a couple of hours but they sent a new vehicle in the indicated time. Our guide, Richard, was always aware of us and did everything possible to visualize wildlife. The accommodation, the food and the schedules of the game drives were as indicated in the description that was sent to me and filled my expectations. I thank Jocky Tours and Safari and especially Richard for making my experience in Kenya fascinating and unforgettable.

Can’t say it was the best experience in my life
Things I liked:
- beautiful nature and animals;
- accommodation was perfect;
- the car was new and safe;
And what spoiled my impression:
- our guide wasn’t a real guide. I would say that it was a driver. I don’t remember anything interesting he told us about wildlife.
- a lot of cheating everywhere. It would be nice if a travel company or a guide warned tourists against all those beggars on every step. In a massai village native people literally extorted 40$ from us. It’s one of the points of the tour and I felt unsafe there.
- 5-days tour is very long. In fact, 3-4 days is enough for what we have seen. On the 3 day in serengety the driver dragged time and we drove with the speed 20 km ph. At 3 pm he brought us to the lodge. The only thing we saw on the fifth day is massai village (15 min) and then at 11 am we arrived in Arusha.
- there were a lot of misunderstanding with the guide and the manager. They asked additional money for massai village (100$ pp) inspite it was included into our package. Only my email to another manager helped. Plus, initially we agreed to leave us at the border with Kenya after our tour. They said that it’s no problem, it’s on our way. At the end of our trip our guide asked 100$ for it. That’s so miserable.

Incredible 2 day safari - great for your first safari
We had an incredible experience on our 2 day safari in Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater with Taste of Afrika. From start to finish everything was well-organised by the company - Seka kept us well-informed and arranged absolutely everything! From airport pick-up and drop-off, lovely hotels (particularly Farm of Dreams, wow) with such friendly staff, tasty food, to the safari experience itself, we couldn't have asked for a better service. Temba was a brilliant guide on our travels, telling us so many interesting facts about the local flora and fauna, getting us into great positions to see the animals, and driving very adeptly over the sometimes bumpy ground. As a first safari experience we couldn't have been happier, and we'd highly recommend this short safari to other first-timers. We'll be signing-up to a longer one next time for sure.
