Very professional and accommodative experience
Great value for the money. The guides Living and innocent were great in communicating other things to see and do. They were able to capture a lot of the experience for me, so I could live on the moment

A lifetime experience
We booked a three day safari with Go Makini Tanzania Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Killimonjaro forest. Lulu organize everything so perfectly and was super helpful. During our safari, Lucas was our driver, in addition of being amazingly kind, he was full of nice tips regarding the parks and the animals. For the Killimonjaro, our guide was Godlisten and the experience was absolutely incredible we loved. Everything was even better than expected and I highly recommande booking with Makini!

Traveling Kenya's Samburu and Masai Mara National Reserve with Ramble Africa was fantastic.
When we visited in May, we received warm welcome, and the experience was breathtaking. The tour guide and driver, Domnic was quite informative and being a native Masai knew the wilderness with an experience second to none. The company organized for us a free Masai cultural visit which Domnic did well. I love every aspect of the safari and it was worth all my money. I highly recommend Ramble Africa Safaris!

Great experience, perfect time!
Beautiful country with nice nature, friendly people and amazing wildlife! Had a three days tour with Norman from Oshisli Tours. Great time in Etosha! We have seen them all. Weather in June was perfect for travelling. Can be recommended to 100%. I will come again!

The lost treasure of nature in the human world.
My son and myself have visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Serengeti in Tanzania. It has been a special experience different from any other travel we made which follows from the nature and wildlife we experienced and the people we met. The wildlife is unique, you cannot see anywhere else and it crosses your mind for how long will it exists in its current form. Whether the wildebeests will have enough grass once the temperature increases? For how long can you smell the trees and the grass, see the trees and bushes going green and hear the voices of the wild once the sun goes down at Serengeti. People live a life different from the western life-style, they link to the nature in their everyday life and instead of the individual they appear to focus rather on the community.
Lion King Adventures organised our Safari and they made a perfect job. I highly recommend them as well as our knowledgable and kind safari gide, Yusuph with whom we always felt save, comfortable and indulged.

Nairobi Park 1/2 day tour----The Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour.
It was advertised as a 4-5 hour tour, it was less than 3 hours in the park.
Our expectations were not high so the bar was set low and they couldn't even meet that.
After everyone was picked up at 1:30 we were told "all the animals are asleep now and the best time to start is 3 pm." So to kill time we drive to a small souvenir shop/snack place for about an hour.
First question is if there nothing to see until 3 then why not pick us up at 2:30 instead of 1:30? Obvious answer---to take us to some place to spend money where I suspect the driver and/or company is getting a kickback. THIS ANNOYED ALL THE PASSENGERS (we talked about it) since it was very obvious what was going on.
So we get to the park entrance at 3 and by the time everyone has paid the entrance fee we head in around 3:20. Funny thing is there were numerous vehicles in the park already and we pass a few LEAVING. Didn't they know the animals were all asleep when they arrived a few hours ago? lol.
Long story short what we saw was: Virtually nothing, certainly nothing of interest until 30/40 min. in when we saw a pride of lions sleeping (they should be awake, don't they know what time it is?). There were long stretches of nothing but in the end did see both black (2) and white (2) rhinos, lots of zebras and 3 giraffes only because we happen to see them far off and luckily they were headed in our direction so we stopped and waited. We pass that area 30 min. earlier or later and we don't see them. We also saw lots of Impala, one Ostrich, a couple of hartebeest and 3 hyenas.
They tell you up front in their ads there are no elephants so we knew that.
All we saw of the "big 5" was Lions and Rhinos so no leopards or buffalo either. Also no cheetahs, wildebeast, Hippos, baboons or crocodiles or well....anything else. Of course there's luck involved and no one should expect to see everything but this was pathetic. We headed out of the park before 6 pm so the tour was less then 3 hours long.
The whole thing was more like a Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour gone wrong then an interesting African safari of any kind.

Incredible Tour!!
We had such an incredible experience with Sopai Safaris! Raja was an awesome guide, he went above and beyond to make this trip a trip of a lifetime. From the start I contacted Raja with a lot of requests to adjust and create a tour to specifically what we wanted with a particular budget in mind. We emailed back and forth and he gave me many options, and was very accommodating to help us create our ideal itinerary. I really wanted to experience some tented safari camps in the mix of accommodation but worried about our budget, and he was able to make that work - all of the accommodation options exceeded our expectations! They were always quick in responding and on time whenever we wanted to leave in the mornings, and always professional. Being a smaller company too I loved how they made an effort to stand out amongst the competition - they provided hot lunches (which were actually really good and we were so grateful) everyday instead of the same box lunches most everyone’s else had. We also had Vincent with us as our driver and co guide and he was excellent as well! They were able to spot 4 leopards for us - how they’re able to spot some of them I have no idea - but we were also lucky enough to witness a pride of lions hunt and kill a warthog! They both had a wealth of knowledge about all the animals we came across, and found us an authentic Maasai boma to visit that was not touristy in the slightest. They helped translate some of the stories and information from our local Maasai guide, which was an experience I’d recommend to anyone. We were so happy to have Raja and Vincent as our guides and would highly recommend them and this company to anyone out there!!!

Perfect
This is our third trip to Africa. Just finish our 13days trip in Uganda with our guide Charles fr Lulu safaris . We had a wonderful time with him, he made the trip even more fun n memorable. His knowledge make us understand Uganda more. We enjoyed all the activities, gorilla trekking, game drive and last day at ctc conservation. The lodges we stay so far has been ok but some are below our expectations, cleanliness is a concern.
