Knowledgable, responsive and helpful
Wonderful!!
In a word, our recent 2-week trip to Kenya with Simba Paka Saffaris, was WONDERFUL!
Although this was our third safari trip to Africa and we had a good idea of what we wanted to include for our grandsons, (ages 13 &11), Sarah crafted a schedule that expanded on our ideas. We needed to stay in Kenya to include 4 days in Mombasa on our own to visit schools and students we sponsor. All the coordination of transportation. airport pickups, accommodations, and meals was taken care of by Sarah/Paul. They were even somehow able to get a needed prescription that was lost on our plane. Our lodges were exactly what we wanted, especially Mara Simba Lodge in Maisa Mara.
Our excellent driver/guide Frances conquered all the driving challenges of the city and the national parks and was successful in finding all the Big Five multiple times. The safari van accommodated the 6 of us and was always clean with plenty of water. Highlights on this trip were a lion kill of a baby warthog, the Sheldrick Elephant Refuge, watching a leopard in a tree with its antelope kill, and the hundreds of elephants in Amboseli National Park.

The tour operator did an excellent work
I have been living in Nairobi for most of my life and I rarely go outside of the city. I recently joined a group of friends after constant pursuation. I was picked up from my house and the Abana group had sent a driver. The driver constantly told us that we'd have a great time and his passion for wildlife could easily be seen. It turned out to be an exciting adventure. Abana safaris had carefully crafted a program that included visiting various landscapes, wild animals etc. Service was excellent and I would recommend anyone who wants to travel to use Abana Safaris.

Very exceptional guides and service
Our trip to lake Mburo National Park was remarkable and memorable. The guide was very knowledgeable and good at time management. Everything was according to our expectations, the car, the hotels, the game drives and boat cruise was all amazing.

Amazing experience from a great team!
Amazing 12 days in Africa with an itinerary from Monique. Initially scheduled for June of 2020, finally went in 2023. Monique and Giltedge did a super job helping facilitate all the changes due to Covid. When we finally went, it was simply stunning - the trip of a lifetime. We loved every minute of Africa - Giraffe Manor (everyone should kiss a giraffe), Mila Tented Camp with lions roaring outside the tent in the middle of the wildebeest migration, Mahali Mzuri with the fantastic animal sightings and ending with trekking for gorillas in Rwanda at the One&Only Gorillas Nest (a resort beyond any I have ever stayed). Simply the best experience every. Thank you so much to the team at Giltedge and the staff at the different resorts.

The very best anyone could want, every step of the way.
From the minute I considered this tour till I was dropped off at the airport the service was superb. Being a solo traveler I was concerned about connections, safety and communications. Joshua was my coordinator and walked me through everything. He was available for any questions and answered promptly. I had a problem with connecting flight and he assisted me, I took a bus from Nairobi and met me at the bus drop off. Meals, understanding how the safari worked different transfers and even getting groceries. He was so positive professional and helpful. I would encourage anyone considering a safari in Tanzania to check this company out and the go as far as to as for Joshua. A wonderful experience and hope that more people get the chance to see what this country has to offer. Again thank you so much Joshua you are truly one of a kind.

100% Highly recommended!!
If you feel overwhelmed because there are so many tour companies and options, especially if this is your first time and you dont have much information, STOP scrolling down and choose this company!!! Highly 100% recommended. I was in your shoes a few months ago and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have selected this company. It is owned by a local, Bartho who is truly amazing. He is not only a genuinely good person but also incredibly knowledgeable. Feel free to ask him anything!
Our drivers, Benjamin and Abshir, our chief Dullah, Such an amazing crew!! OMG I dont even know where to start. They will treat you like a family. They will do anything for you to have a great experience. My trip was amazing. I hope yours too! Tanzania has my heart now <3
