Great experience!
It was a very good safari. We took the option at $ 800 (4 days safari + 2 days hotel in Arusha).
It was in English. We knew it.
Humphreys coordinates the whole thing with Ali. They are very friendly and accommodating. Humphreys found us a free driver for our return to the Kilimanjaro airport in the middle of the night for example :)
To talk about the safari, the first day we did tarangire. Then we went to sleep in a nice camp with "beds" on the heights of Lake Manyara. The program planned to sleep in Tarangire but I think what we did was better because that way we drive less the next day to the Serengeti. Camps correct at Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The cook was excellent. The guide was good even though we punctured 4 times. Fortunately there is a lot of car to help so we have never waited long. The tents are spacious and my bedding comfortable and clean. As a bonus we had 2 bottles of wine offered by the team :)
The negatives that prevent me from putting five stars are:
1 the first day at the hotel dinner is not included and we are made to understand very directly that the tip of 80 (40 guide, 40 cook) dollars per couple is mandatory. It could be interesting for you to simply pay the employees better by letting the customer freer as we were on a safari in Selous
2 Even if it were good, it would be necessary to better train the guides to the knowledge of parks and animals (going further than: "the lion sleeps almost all the time" or "the elephant is a dangerous animal"
3 The program announces 5 game drives but there are only 4 (which is more than enough and I do not know how we could do one more)
In summary I highly recommend because for this price it was still almost perfect! Very good performance compared to the competition.
Thank you !

Thank you.

The most beautiful roadtrip through Kenya!
Off the beaten track!
Our wish for the summer of 2019 was to make a roadtrip through Kenya. The two of us ... without a driver
and without a guide. It was not easy to find an organization that could help us with that.
It soon became clear to us that it is not usual to travel this way.
And then we found Charlie's Travels! Together with this great travel agency, and in our case
with Simone Langejan, we have put together a fantastic trip.
We travel all over the world and are quite critical ... but Simone helped us enormously
when selecting a car (Landrover!), compiling the route and finding the most original overnight places.
During this great trip, she and Dorcas (the Kenyan employee) were ready to immediately solve
the problems that came our way (this is Africa ... :)). Despite the (mostly) bad roads, the chaotic
traffic and the bad car that regularly let us down but thanks to the beautiful,
versatile country, the extremely friendly people and the enormous amount of wildlife, it was one of the best journeys ever!

Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience. The gamedrive is something we will always remember. We liked the basic treehouse at Mbega camp. The food was beyond expectations. Diana was our tourguide. We couldn't have wished for a better guide. She is a lovely person and arranged everything we desired. She told us everything about the african culture with her endless energy. Thank you Diana!

Incredibly well organized and professional operation that focuses on customer experience!
We were referred to Tony and Maleng Travel from a friend that had an incredible experience with the company. From our first interaction with Maleng you could instantly tell it is an A+ operation with many years of experience. The itinerary is incredibly well thought out and you are supplied a ton of great information before leaving through an app they use. Our driver Donna was a joy to be around and very knowledgeable. All the lodges that Tony picked were absolutely stunning and far exceeded our expectations! We did a 6-day safari and every day was very different and we got to see a great variety of animals. I would highly suggest Maleng Travel for any safari throughout Uganda!

Instant reply, well organized trip and experienced, patient, professional guidance to our trip
Thanks for Joe's trip plan and it is really helped to see almost every single animal in this country. Cheetah, Leopard, Elephant, Lion family, Vulture, White Rhino, Giraffe, Buffalo, Buck, etc....
Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara are the selected places to be visited. With Edwin's guidance, we were to able to take tons of splendid pictures in those areas in limited times. and most importantly, we are lucky to see the wildebeest migration and crocodile killing and preying one of them in the river.
Camp accommodation and services are far beyond our expectation, good experience there.
I definitely will recommend my friends if they have any interest of visiting this magical land.
Regards,
Peter
