More than Expected
I had the most extraordinary and unforgettable experience with Amshar Serengeti Adventures during their 10-day Africa's Big Five Safari and Zanzibar trip. From the moment we landed in Tanzania, every detail was meticulously planned and executed. The safari itself was a wildlife enthusiast's dream come true – we witnessed the awe-inspiring sight of the Big Five in their natural habitat, from the majestic lions and graceful elephants to the elusive leopards and powerful rhinos. Our knowledgeable and passionate guides made sure we had the best vantage points for viewing the wildlife, and their in-depth knowledge of the region's flora and fauna enhanced the whole experience. The accommodations were superb, offering a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the wilderness. After the exhilarating safari, we were whisked away to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar, where pristine beaches and turquoise waters awaited us. The seamless transition from the safari to the beach vacation was a testament to Amshar Serengeti Adventures' impeccable organizational skills.
The trip's highlight was undoubtedly the sheer dedication of the Amshar Serengeti Adventures team. They went above and beyond to ensure our safety, comfort, and satisfaction at every step of the journey. It was evident that they were passionate about their work, and their love for the land and its wildlife was contagious. I returned home with not only incredible memories but also a newfound appreciation for the conservation efforts in the region. If you're looking for an authentic, well-planned, and life-changing African safari experience, I therefore recommend Amshar Serengeti Adventures. They surpassed all my expectations and delivered a trip of a lifetime.

Unforgettable!!!
Prior to coming to Burundi I communicated with the company a year beforhand. Eraste was receptive to all my concerns and answered all my questions promptly. He suggested a program that he thought we would like and we loved the program. We were able to see almost every part of Burundi. Apart from the popular tourist attractions we did many things that tourist don't typically do.
It did seem that we were the first guest that did this tour; exploring every corner of Burundi. Having that said there were some challenges we encounter along the way but Eraste managed to resolve them.
I highly recommend Empirical Tour and Travel as they will accommodate your needs.

Very helpful and knowledgeable
Hallmark travel was a breeze to work with from my initial request all the way up until we arrived in Kenya. Our guides arrived on time and got us to our Safari on time despite a serious traffic jam. It was impressive how they worked with the people in town to get us around the traffic and back on track. Our guides had answers to all of our questions and were very knowledgeable. We also received nice gifts from the company which was a nice surprise.

Outstanding!! Out of this world!
We had visited South Africa a few years back and while it was nice, nothing can compare with this trip. Our tour guide, Saruni, was awesome. He knew where to look, the names of the animals, the sounds that they make. He was extremely professional, funny and we had a great time together. Accommodations were very good. Everyone was pleasant, He made the trip a perfect one. accommodating and extremely nice. We will go back. I give Gamewatchers a 10. We particularly love Porini Rhino Camp with David being a tremendous host. The food was a surprise and it was delicious. The Trive Hotel and the ark were superb. Actually we loved every resort where we stayed. Booking and planning this trip was made easy with the help of both Wayne and Brad. We visited a tribe and that was an amazing experience too

By far one of the best tour companies we have ever used!
Our family of four booked a 7 day / 6 night tour package with Kojuu Safaris Africa; their customer service and attention to details exceeded our expectations. Hotel accommodations were fantastic (5 star ratings). Their jeep was brand new with wifi, charging ports, snacks and all you can drink (beer, water, soda, wine) during our game drives.
Godwin (our guided driver) was exceptionally brilliant at going above and beyond to find every animal on our bucket list. Godwin's wealth of knowledge for the parks visited made it that much easier at finding all the big cats; from lions, cheetahs to leopards (you name it, we saw it). Godwin is a highly experienced driver with 15+ years in the business. We felt safe at all times and would definitely recommend him as your guide.
A special shout out to Judith for organizing our tour and making it a memorable experience for our entire family. Judith was extremely accommodating and super responsive at all times. She would check in with us daily to ensure everything was running smoothly. We were celebrating our son's 16th birthday along with our 20th anniversary and Judith ensured that every hotel would either celebrate these special occasions during dinner or greeted us with a cake on arrival. I am beyond grateful for everything Judith did for our family.
Couldn't imagine going on this adventure with a different tour company! So grateful we chose Kojuu Safaris Africa!!

Everything you want in a guide-kind, knowledgeable, fun
I had an amazing time during my family trip to Kenya. Arch Treks and Safaris provided a safe, fun, once in a lifetime experience. We had a large group so had multiple cars/drivers, we loved them all. All of the accommodations were wonderful, we not only saw many animals on our drives but were learning about animals and plants from our guides during the drives. Our time in Nairobi was also carefully crafted and wonderful. The trip was planned to perfection- the perfect amount of days at Mara Serena and the perfect amount of time exploring Nairobi. Our trip included game drives, a hot air balloon safari, a nature walk, hike and visit to a Masai village. Our time in Nairobi included an informational tour of the city and a couple museum stops. Even the stops to and from Nairobi/Mara Serena were planned to perfection- moments to grab a snack, use the bathroom and stretch your legs while picking up a souvenir or two.
Everyone made us feel welcome and at home.
I highly recommend using Arch Treks and Safaris!

Amazing experience, highly, highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our Kenyan Safari was amazing!!!! Janet is extremely kind and personable. She takes great pride in ensuring that her clients have the most wonderful experience possible, and we did! She was available to communicate prior to our trip. I felt completely comfortable and confident before we headed to a Kenya. Our driver was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. We loved each experience that we had and we saw many remarkable animals. If you plan on shopping, I would recommend asking to visit the city market, instead of shopping at the stops along the way on the safari. We loved the Sopa lodges, especially the one in Lake Naivasha.
My husband and I travelled with our children - a 7 and 9 year old, as well as their two grandparents, who are in their 70’s. Everyone’s needs were accommodated for and we all had a wonderful time.
We would HIGHLY recommend Javiva adventures! Thank you so much Janet!

Go with the Flow - simply amazing
We only had a short window of three days for a wonderful trip in north Rwanda and western Uganda. Peter was an amazing guide. Creating a flow for our small group of five with incredible experiences to spend time with a family of 17 mountain Gorilla, deeply moving and renewing my commitment for conservation and environmental stewardship. Swimming at sunset in lake bonyonyi was the dot on the “i”. I’ll definitely come back for a much longer trip with Peter.
