Increadible insights into the pearl of africa
We, a group of 6 friends, did a 3.5 week tour with Home to Africa through Uganda and Kenya with a major focus on Uganda. In Kenya we only spent 2 days in the Buffalo Springs NP and the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. We choose Home to Africa based on its positive reviews and the good price performance ratio.
In a nutshell, the trip was an unforgettable experience, both in terms of wildlife experience as well as in getting insights about the incredibly rich and welcoming cultures of the two countries.
Having done already safaris in Tanzania and Botswana earlier, our focus in Uganda were the primates. But as we went through the different parcs, we quickly understood the Uganda has far more to offer than just Gorillas and Chimpanzees. We were actually discovering as many animals there as we did in Tanzania or Botswana. The two parcs in Kenya proved to be good choices to avoid the crowds in Masai Mara.
Not knowing anything about Uganda, we went there open minded and we were startled by the varity and richness of this country. It offers anything from mountain rain forests to plane savannas in the rift valley, lakes and hilly regions with honest, heartfelt and respectful people. We felt save at any point in time.
I would definitely choose Home to Africa again as a tour operator if I choose to go back into one of the two countries and I would like to thank Derrick and Jeremy for guiding us through this tour. Not only did they have a deep understanding of the wildlife but they also provided us with a lot of information about their countries and their cultures (something I was missing on the other safaris).
I really appreciated the way Home to Africa included the local villages into their tours by offering them the opportunity to act as local guides. This gave the trip a unique touch and left us with the feeling that we did something good for people living next to parc.
Thank you again to Derrick, Jeremy and the entire Home to Africa team!

Superb from start to finish
I stumbled upon MoAfrika Tours online while planning a safari as a birthday trip for my mother. This being our first trip to Africa, we were a little apprehensive and wanted to work with an honest and competent tour agency. Within 24 hours of requesting a quotation on MoAfrika's website, I was contacted by Anthony, a founder of the company, who promptly and proactively provided detailed information about the available packages and offered thoughtful, useful suggestions. Formal quotations were issued quickly, and were all-inclusive; no hidden fees. The team was polite and responsive without exception, even as our plans evolved, and would often respond to my messages even outside their office hours. The prices represented very good value (confirmed by independent comparison), and the team was always reasonable and flexible in accommodating the exigencies of our trip (e.g. an early morning arrival). We were met at OR Tambo Airport by Arnold, who went the extra mile to give us a warm welcome to South Africa after our overnight flight by pointing out interesting landmarks, sharing some of the history of the region and allowing plenty of time for photographs and rest stops during the transfer to the Shepherd's Tree Game Lodge in Pilanesberg. After an incredible four days at Shepherd's Tree (an excellent recommendation by Anthony), we were taken on a lovely closed vehicle game drive by a MoAfrika guide before being collected by Arnold for the transfer to our hotel in Johannesburg. The following day, we were taken on a wonderful tour of Johannesburg by another MoAfrika guide, Cpho, who shared his personal experiences as a resident of Soweto to bring an already very informative program to life. At every stage of our trip, the team checked in on us and politely sought feedback. They were always ready to help: when our hotel in Johannesburg cancelled our fully-paid reservation on arrival due to 'overbooking', I reached out to Anthony, who immediately coordinated the change in pickup location for the following day's tour even though the MoAfrika office had closed for the day. In sum, MoAfrika Tours went above and beyond in every possible way, offering exceptional value for money, unfailing reliability and first-class service. They have truly earned my unreserved recommendation.

A perfect trekking experience with Alpine Chat Adventure!
I just came back from the 6-day Machame route trek with Alpine Chat Adventure, and I can confidently say that my expectations were not only met but exceeded in every possible way.
I was initially drawn to Alpine Chat Adventure due to their incredible reviews, and it was important for me to support a local Tanzanian-based company. From the moment I contacted the owner, Erick, he responded promptly to all my questions, and provided me with a clear and detailed itinerary.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro airport, I unfortunately found that my suitcase was lost and it was just a day before my hike was supposed to begin. However, thanks to Erick, who took charge and personally handled the situation with the airport, my suitcase was located and returned to me in time for the hike.
Alpine Chat Adventure went above and beyond to ensure I felt secure and cared for throughout my entire journey, which was especially important to me as a young solo female traveller. From the friendly drivers who transported me to and from the airport, the amazing hotel I stayed at before and after the hike, and the attentive crew accompanying me up to the top of Kilimanjaro, I felt comfortable and well looked after at all times.
During the trek itself, my vegan diet was catered to with delicious meals, and all of my questions were addressed during my daily briefings with my guide Yaky. Yaky was a truly amazing guide, providing me with valuable insights, guidance, and support every step of the way.
If you're considering trekking to the top of Kilimanjaro, I cannot recommend Alpine Chat Adventure highly enough. Choose this amazing company, and you'll be rewarded with a perfect and personalised experience. Thank you, Alpine Chat Adventure, for making my Kilimanjaro trek a dream come true!

Incredible! We had the best experience ever - everything we hoped for and more!
Our time with Joagro Safaris was the most amazing experience. We spotted everything we wanted to see including lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe the list goes on. Our tour guide made sure we spotted everything and seemed to know all the right spots to ensure we spotted the wildlife we wanted to see. He was also really funny and great to spend time with. The service was fantastic, beyond what we imagined and can’t thank joagro enough for the best holiday we’ve ever been on. The accommodations and staff at all of these were amazing, the food was great and above all the safari experience was incredible. What an adventure - thank you!

Best overall experience
A really enjoyable experience! Communication with Jocky Tours was very easy, they were quick to reply to emails and well coordinated as a team. They were also great at accommodating a last minute change.
Our driver Joseph was amazing, a lovely person, an experienced driver, and great at spotting the animals at Masai Mara. When you book, opt for the Land Rover option, it was a lot of fun!
We stayed at Lenchada camp and the experience was exactly as described, with good food and friendly staff.
Totally recommended overall!

Emphatic, kind, high expertise
I went to Masai Mara on a group joining safari with David. He was very emphatic, kind and humble. He was caring about our group as if we were close friends. Also, through his very high expertise, we were lucky to see many animals and amazing views there. I would recommend to everyone to go with them.

Perfect!
We booked a 6-days safari with Multiways in June. Communication was easy, and Romeo had some good suggestions to tailor the safari to our wishes. We were so lucky to have Pius as our driver! He has a lot of knowledge, is a good spotter and is a nice guy (also not unimportant , because you share a jeep for some very long days). He made an effort to make it good days and tailored it well to our interests. We visited Arusha NP, Manyara, 2 days in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire. All parks are different, and added something to our trip. Accommodations were amazing, we especially loved the overnight stays in the tent in the Serengeti.
We absolutely recommend Multiways Safari, and hope to come back some day!
