Trustable, you have what you ask
I asked for three quotes to three different tour operators. Going Green Safari was the first to provide feedback, and the only one to provide individual contact and all the information I wanted. Leonard, my contact, was absolutely polite and available to all the changes I had during the time. I changed date, safari and requirements. Everything was accomplished without hesitation.
Safari tour in Mikomy was very well organized. The guide was superb, describing all the animals and habitat all the time. I also noticed, I had personal driver and in addition personal guide. Two people at my complete disposal all the day. Instead all the other jeep we met had only one driver.... Accommodation was great, a nice cottage in the green, very suggestive, even if simple.
I really recommend Going Green Safari.

3 day Gorilla trekking tour
What an absolutely amazing experience I had doing the 3 day Gorilla trekking experience with Lulu safaris. From start to finish everything was perfect.
First of all I have to mention Samuel my guide for the 3 days who was brilliant, very friendly and made the 20 hour round journey very pleasant and very interesting with all his knowledge on Uganda & all its different cultures. The accommodation, staff, food and facilities at gorilla mist camp were incredible and extremely good value for money.
The day spent tracking the Gorillas was amazing, our group tracked down the Mishaya family and the hour spent with them is something I’ll never forget. Overall what an incredible experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering doing it! Thanks Lulu safaris for an epic experience.

Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Memories with Bienvenido a Ken
I had an incredible experience with Bienvenido a Kenya Safari Tours, and I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for their outstanding service. Our guide, Martin, was truly exceptional. He demonstrated an immense passion for his job and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best wildlife experience possible. Martin's expertise and enthusiasm in locating various animals were truly remarkable, and his knowledge of the Kenyan wilderness added an extra layer of excitement to our safari adventure.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to Purity, who handled our communication through WhatsApp. She was incredibly friendly and always available to assist us with any queries or concerns we had. Her prompt and helpful responses made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our trip.
Overall, I highly recommend Bienvenido a Kenya Safari Tours to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. The exceptional service provided by Martin, along with the warm and efficient assistance from Purity, made our experience unforgettable. We will definitely be returning for another adventure with them in the future.

Well Organized Professional Safari
Me and my friend met Greg on the beach in Zanzibar and he told me about all the great options for safari in Tanzania and mentioned he had a safari company based in Arusha. We decided that we could not leave Tanzania without doing a safari so we decided to book one through Greg. We flew to Arusha where he picked us up and then took us to some comfortable accommodation that he also manages before starting our safari the next day. The safari was wonderful, two days one night in Tarangire national park, and it exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend booking with Greg. He has all the details figured out and things ran so smooth, no stress and we had a great time!

If you have found Early Kingfisher, you have found the best safari to book with
I had no idea what to expect when going into my family’s safari with Sam. But by the end of our trip, I knew that we could not have had any better experience with any other company.
The level of expertise, dedication, and passion is what makes Early Kingfisher so uniquely fit to provide the most enjoyable and memorable experience.
Over the course of our trip we found ourselves repeatedly grateful for having Sam as our guide. Having someone so knowledgeable about the bush, animal behavior, and everything in between made each moment particularly special. The Early Kingfisher name rings true, but for good reason. Though we were awoken before sunrise (to a good breakfast might I add), it meant that we not only had the opportunity to witness some truly spectacular morning skies, but it also allowed Sam to utilize his skills in tracking. We had the chance to witness a pride of lions relaxing after a meal and wild dogs searching for packmates, before any of the other safari cars made it to the spot and crowded around. If anything was an indication of Sam’s skills and keen eye to find animals and understand their movements, it was the constant call of “Sam Sam” over the radio by OTHER guides looking for his expertise and finds. The moments we experienced in the bush were also so dependent on the level of understanding Sam had. We had the incredible chance to see multiple ‘ceremonies’ of meeting and hunting as Sam knew when to hold out beyond snapping a few photos.
I cannot overemphasize Sam’s knowledge. Every question I asked about the animals behavior, evolution, and more—often times unsure there would be an answer—would be answered expertly in turn. And if you are an ornithologist, Sam has got you covered with his specialty in bird identification (even those not particularly keen on bird watching will find themselves interested I guarantee!).
This utter commitment to craft extends to everyone in the Early Kingfisher team. I truly do not think I have had better food (seriously delicious), more comfortable sleeping arrangements while camping, and service than what Sam’s staff provided. Honestly, it is something you just need to experience firsthand. You will never for a moment worry about being hungry or tired, with hearty meals and tea-times well-timed.
Our safari lasted seven days, and I believe that is the bare minimum that you should go for. I cannot more highly recommend Early Kingfisher, in all aspects imaginable. The opportunity to encounter Botswana’s beauty in such a powerful, well-attended way should not be passed up.
I would love to give a massive thank you to Sam and his team for giving me and my family an experience that will not fade from our memories!

Botswana offered a total immersion in the bush with tracking of animals in their natural habitat.
We did a self-drive from S. Africa to Muan, Botswana in order to go on a mobile camping safari in Moremi Park in the Okavango Delta. The 7 hour drive to Muan was an experience in itself. Wide open country with salt pans and bush on the fringe of the Kalahari desert. Easy driving, good roads and very few cars or towns. Muan was a bustling centre serving the tourist trade for the Okavango delta. We stayed at Cresta Riley's coming and going from our camping safari, a lovely hotel with great food & service and full amenities. We went on safari with Boteti Safari's who were fabulous. The game drives in the Moremi Game Reserve were supherb. We saw all kinds of wildlife up close. So many elephant herds, giraffes, zebras and all sorts of deer. In addition to seeing lions, a highlight was a mother leopard and her cub coming out of the bush right next to us. We just can't say enough about Bostwana. The people are lovely and very welcoming, the scenery and night skies are breathtaking, and the wildlife is spectacular. Best of all was the camping experience with no boundaries and with wildlife around you. Needless to say we kept our tents well zipped at night. After 5 days in Kruger Park, S. Africa we found Botswana a much more natural and immersive experience.

Probably one of the last bastions of wilderness on earth where you can still see the big five.
