Good memory forever
My wife and I traveled to Kenya for safari about 4 years back, time really flies. Mr Li invited me to write a review about the last trip. Let me tell you, it was really fantastic trip! Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. Driver was called Mike, showed us everything he could, the service was good, hotel was perfect, and Mr Le really care about us, call us everyday to make sure we are happy. I could remember his company's name but Mr Le has a really responsible team, care for his clients, solve problems quickly. We really enjoyed. We might go back to Africa this year, and we will go with Sino Africa Safari for sure!

Fabulous holiday.
Great experience seeing the animals on the savannah and our guide/driver was incredibly skilled.
The camp was good with very helpful staff.

Spectacular experience
We had the most fabulous time Jaco collected us from J’burg and took us to the Skukuza camp, giving us information on the way about the areas and then what we would be doing. There were 8 of us and we had a private full day tour which was spectacular see all the big five in the morning and again in the afternoon, our guide Trevor found a dead impala in a tree and kept returning to see if the leopard that left it their came back. It did and was the highlight of the day, we have some fabulous photos to remember our time and would certainly recommend Red Africa Safari’s. We would all love to return tomorrow.
Only negative was accommodation was a little tired but after a long and exciting day somewhere to sleep was all that was needed.

Well organized experience
We were both really happy with the whole experience.
From the start where we were collected from the airport, to the excellent safari camp in Selous (Ngalawa) and drop off to our next destination in Dar Es Salaam we had a brilliant time. We could not recommend these places highly enough. On Driving safari we were able to see lots of wildlife and our driver and guide Charles did what he could to make it exceptional. The game drives were excellent. February was a great time to visit - there was some rain but it did not detract from the experience and it was uncrowded.
We havevspent 2 nights in Ngalawa tented camp. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Private outdoors pool. Staff really polite and helpful. Food was bland and every day almost the same with instant coffee for breakfasts.
Gombe safari did a superb job for us. Worth the price.
Thanks again.

William was an excellent guide 10 stars
Very good and fast communication prior to the tour and during the tour with William! Overall a super good experience. Good accomodation, food and jeep! And most important a very flexible guide who did a great job (and I have travelled a lot before and work in tourism myself so I have good knowledge).

Benson is absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable. It was a trip of a lifetime! Excellent!!!
It was very easy and painless. The trip went beyond expectations and if you get Benson as your guide - you are beyond lucky as well. My favorite was the Cheetahs to watch them run - saw about everything I wanted to see. And with Benson’s knowledge- it’s also very educational. The visit to the tribe was incredible- sat in their elephant dung tent and learned first hand about their lifestyles. Best decision we made was to choose This company. Great food and lodging.

Affordable, reliable, caring, professional
agency, fast , affordable, reliable, caring.
I contacted the agency and literally could book a 5 day safari the day after. More then that they helped me with tons of information (&connections) to fix accommodations, transport, flight, etc.
The price for safari is affordable and fair (given that the entrance fees to the parks are very high).
The safari itself was lovely, the guide/driver was very experienced and made the adventure very interesting while the chef caped us fed with well prepared meals (given the conditions).
All & all i was really lucky choosing Adventure Makers

Average !!
We went on a 11 days Safari with AAA in the end on September 2019, Tanzania. We are ardent wildlife lovers and had pretty high expectation from AAA considering the earlier reviews. However, I must admit that the experience was pretty average.
Day 1 - Travel to Tarangire from Arusha - Stay in Tent in Lake Manyara
Lots of time wasted in Arusha (picking up food for next 3 days). This should have been arranged before picking up us. As a result we reached Tarangire pretty late - Past noon. Tarangire is a pretty nice place for game drive. We were staying at Manyara, which was 2 hours of drive from Tarangire, so we were forced by the driver to leave before the usual time of park closure. Again a disappointment - the road from taranire to Manyara is a highway and no reason the drive cannot be taken after dark. At camping site, the tent provided - we had fight with the zipper to close it. These are basics of camping. Dinner was good.
Day 2: Started Trip to Manyara around 630 in the morning, Breakfast was good. Lunch packet was good. Game drive was nice. But again the driver/guide was too keen to leave early before the closing time of the park. We missed the bird watching walk. Dinner was good.
Day 3: Manyara to Lake Natron: Start of the trip was delayed - as the chef informed that the driver found some defect in the car. Was wondering why the maintenance was not done in time and vehicle not checked in time. We started at 9 (wanted to start at 7) and reached Natron at 1.30 pm. We wanted to directly go to the Natron lake for Birding - but again the driver/guide played the spoil sport. We were not taken to the location before 4 pm. We were frustrated. The entire plan and experience was ruined as the day got wasted. The camp site arranged was horrible. Worst toilet possible. Food was OK.
Day 4: Natron to Serengeti North: Started at 7 and reached around 1400. Game drive was good. Stayed in Heritage Mara Tented Camp for 3 days. Superb location and staff.
Day 5-6 - Game drive was good. Watched the Mara river crossing. The driver/guide always found it difficult to find the correct spot suitable for photography and filming. I did not find the guide passionate about wild-life.
Day 7-9 - Central Serengeti - Again the game drive was nice. Arranged stay was at heritage Tented Camp - Fantastic location and experience. But same story with driver/guide continued - missed spotting birds, driving past / stopping late - we missed quite a bit of shots. And this was heartening as this was the sole purpose of the trip.
Day 10-11 - Central Serengeti / Ngorongoro - Stayed in Rhino Lodge - Great location again. But was again amazed by the drivers behavior at the dinner table - don't know if he was high - but whatever. Ngorongoro game drive was nice.
Over all - I would say the trip could have been much more satisfying & fulfilling. In Serengeti all the vehicles communicate over radio and once something interesting is spotted all vehicle comes to know - so don't worry you will have a lot of sightings for sure.

Great experience for a good price
I'm travelling with a friend around Tanzania, and we book a 5 days safari with Nelson (Focus in Africa).
Everything was great, Herman (the guide) find all the animals for us, and Peter (the cook) made great meals each day.
The camps were confortable enough for these amount of days.
