8-day game safari
I did an 8-day game safari tour with Empirical Tour and Travel across the amazing land of Rwanda. As a white female solo traveller I was very pleased with the way this travel agency handled all the little details of my travel. Accommodations were nice and transportations between destinations were smooth. Eraste and Joseph made me feel safe and comfortable the whole journey. With their travel plan I was able to experience Rwanda as a local, which added priceless value for this trip!
Excellent experience, everything on time and as planned, friendly service, the best.
Ruth was excellent with all the arrangements. Eddie, our guide, excellent driver and host was the best, friendly, knowledgeable and everything was on time and as planned. The gorrila trek being the highlight, as well as the chimps visit. Ticked many off my bucket list, incredible time. Will definitely recommend them and use them for future trips. Thanks, I had an awesome time. Food and accommodation on the budget option was beyond expectations. Great overall experience.

African hospitality is the best!
I'd like to add one more review for Morningstar. They gave us a T-shirt and some African tea and coffee as gifts. On our way to the airport at the end of our trip, the Director Robert and the consultant Dennis came to meet us in person and took us to a local restaurant for a complimentary lunch. What a surprise! How sweet they are! People, just book with Morningstar. We are very glad with our choice!

They were fantastic! Everyone was very knowledgable and accommodating to our group.
SO AMAZING! We had just done a week-long safari in Kenya, so weren't sure whether we would want another one in Botswana. We were so glad we did! In particular, the water safari was unreal. We were able to get very close to swimming elephants. Absolutely unforgettable experience

Aman will personalize your tour requests to fulfill your bucket list !
I did 2 very different tours with Aman 1) 5 days of Northern Ethiopia and Simean Mountains National Park, and 2) 4 days of the Southern Omo Valley Tribes and Mago National Park.
Both tours included day tours in Addis Ababa so I really got to see a LOT of the vastly different cultural, historical, geographical, political and rich religious history of Ethiopia.
All I can say is WOW!
Ethiopia is beautiful in nature and rich with culture and Aman did an amazing job of squeezing in as many experiences as possible in the time I had.
I had learned very little about Ethiopia growing up - only the famine of the 1980's and a vague realization of Haille Selassie 's role in world politics. Aman's guides are amazing and have bachelor's degrees in tourism and Ethiopian history. I learned SO much and they were engaging, caring,
answered our every whim and were flexible with our interests and daily desires.
I would describe Ethiopia as "the most amazing country you never knew was on your bucket list!"
I highly recommend Aman Ethiopia tours for the most comprehensive, caring and flexible experience possible.
Acting as your host, Aman will have you feeling like family and well-cared for! I would give him 10 stars

Incredible trip, over all expectations
We were on a 7-days trip with wakanda tour, and it started with an amazing trip to Materuni, were we saw a beautifull waterfall, got to meet some local guys who showed us how they made coffee, and ended the day in a beautifull hot spring were we could swim.
The next day we were picked up and started the safari! From the very beginning we got great service, and an incredible Guide named Felix. He took us to all the best places, were we saw all type of animals very close by the car. He knows the places, and animals so well, that he is allways at the right place, at the right time. He is also a great company, and it was so great to have him with us, with all his experiense.
We also got the best food you can imagine on a safari. All of the dishes was soo good, and he really makes the best food, and puts inn all of his efford to do it. You can really see that he loves to make good food. We even got dessert every day.
So a big thankyou to Felix and Machete for the best week. We will be back!!

Trip of a Lifetime
Johan was incredibly helpful in helping me plan my first safari excursion. With all of the safari options available in Africa it became very overwhelming. I reviewed a number of pre-planned itineraries and decided that building a custom tour was the best option for my party and Johan was very receptive. He provided a number of lodge options at different price points so I could look at everything and make the best decisions for our budget. We stayed at two different lodges and had different experiences at both which we really enjoyed. Umkumbe River Lodge - was quaint and we had the best safari guide who was very invested in making sure we could get as close to all the animals as possible. Kapama Southern Camp was out-of-this world with their level of service. They met all of our dietary needs and the food was incredible. We loved the boma experience in the evenings and the entertainment provided.
Overall our experience with Wild Kruger was top tier - payments were easy, transportation to airports and other lodges were seamless and all of our questions were answered so we felt well prepared. I have already forwarded on Wild Kruger's information to friends to help them plan future trips. I would absolutely recommend Johan and Wild Kruger and would use them again.

Excellent budget safari with all big 5 spotted
My wife and I are pleased with the budget 7-day safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli.
Clinton our guide & driver in the safari served us professionally and always drive safely throughout. We didn't even get carsick despite the long drives on sometime bumpy road. He also always give clear instruction (when & where to gather, what is upcoming etc) and organised manner to make our safari trip smooth.
With his guidance, we were very happy to see all the big 5, even the leopard which is rather elusive, for which he made sure that we reach it quickly (but safely) upon hearing the radio chatter.
All the extra costs (for boat trip & walking in Crescent Island / L. Naivasha) and cycling Safari are clarified in advance.
We had plenty of food through the trip (drink is extra). When departing Nairobi, do stock up on some snacks and a bit of extra water if you'd like as it will be more expensive in the transit stops / camps.
If there are points to improve it would be:
- during Masai Mara part, there were 8 pax vs 7 seats (1 pax need to sit beside the driver for the journey, but understandably in the park everyone would like the 'open roof' access so we kind of juggle / take turns for the 7 seats at the back). Naturally, it would be more comfortable if the back part of the van does have 8 seats (which another van does in a 3-2-3 config instead of our 2-2-3), or stick to the original 7 pax.
