Unbelievable experience
We booked a private safari for 5 days by Bartho (Serengeti, ngorongoro, lake Manyara, and Arusha) Direct from the start I felt very comfortable. Many companies, which I asked for an individual offer, didn’t listen or rejected my request or offered my an another one for much more money. Bartho has listened and offered everything like I wanted and made it possible. I could choose whatever I wanted and also change this very flexibel. All my questions were responded very quickly and kind. At the end we got an unbelievable tour with Malisa as our guide and driver. We had everything we need, water, wine, lunchboxes and place for charging our cameras and smartphones. Malisa has entertained us in very right way, he knew at what time it is better just to enjoy and not to talk and when was time for discussions. He explained everything about the parks, animals, birds and flowers with a huge knowledge. We also got a lot information about the culture and people in Tanzania. We had a lot of fun, because of Malisas humour and laughed a lot. He is a very experienced guy, but we didn’t have that feeling that he sees the parks every day and this is just business for him. He was highly motivated and also impressed as we were, but for us it was a first time and for Malisa this is a 10000 time. We saw a lot of boring guides in on other companies, So this is a huge difference here. We could share our passion for animals with our guide and highly appreciated that Malisa were very “right in his mindset” regarding the animals. He was respectful to them, and we were happy to see the animals in a free nature. Other companies were not so respectful they were hunting the lion on the road with their cars, very sad to see. In total - thanks a lot Bartho & Melisa for this great experience. We will keep this in our hearts!

Amazing And Meticulously Organized.
Let me start with my organizer Rose who deserves due credit here. I revised my itenary so many times but not once did she complain. She was absolutely patient and made sure all my requirements were met which required to be tailored. She even picked us up personally from our hotel on the first day. The service was very personalized and makes you feel comfortable in a foreign land. Accomodation at Masai Mara was budget, but no complains here, it was worth the amount. Food at this Accomodation was good as well. Our guide Simon did an amazing job too in showing us around, we managed to see the BIG 5. Lake Nakuru was beautiful with the Rhinos, flamingos and we even managed to see a pride of Lions with its cubs, that was amazing, this was possible with our guide Boniface who made sure we got the best view of it all. The hotel at Nakuru was good, clean and the food was good too. All in all, I definitely recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to Kenya.

The are the best and experienced tour company
Excellent Tours, Great person
Lonwabo Madock were recommended by friends from the Addo who had toured with him previously. I toured Port Elizabet and Addo with Lonwabo, and stayed in Africanos Guest House (Felleng) for 2 nights.
I started with one night and liked it so much that I returned three weeks later before driving back to western cape .
The Nqabas are knowledgeable and experienced tour guides; and a real pleasure to be around..
I rate their hospitality and service most highly. You can't go wrong if you choose Nqaba Township and Safari tours!

Outstanding and caring, they got me and my 16-year-old daughter to the top!
This was a five star service with brilliant assessment and support throughout and without which we would never have made it to the top. We took the Whiskey route, which was more scenic, and we had the most memorable extraordinary trip. Food was great, support was outstanding, I can't recommend highly enough.

BEST TRIP EVER
My couple and I contacted last April Encounter Africa Safaris ("EAS") because we wanted to visit Uganda in August and two friends of us went there last year with this tour operator and reccomended them to us.
We booked a three day gorila treeking tour and also we asked them if one of their guides/drivers could join us on our journey (15 days in total). Specifically, we asked for Ambrose, who was the driver who accompanied our friends too.
We are really grateful for all the great job that EAS did for us. Starting with Chris, who works in the office and is almost 24h/7days attending the clients needs (the fact that we received a prompt reply everytime we sent an email, gave us great peace of mind and gives EAS a great added value), and continuing with Ambrose, our friendly driver.
Ambrose is a very responsible and prudent driver who is always happy to help. He took care of us during our whole trip. He also surprised us because he has a deep knowledge of the country, its people, traditions and wild animals, specially birds (I can say that I can hardly remember a name of a bird because of the countless bird species that he showed us). Ambrose is a nature lover and we strongly appreciate his respect towards animals and the whole nature. Be also sure that with Ambrose you will arrive on time everywhere, even if you are not a very punctual person, because he knows how to manage time very carefully.
EAS and its team made it possible for us to remember this trip as an unforgettable one, and to fall in love with Uganda (what a country, no words).
We only have words of thanks and we would highly reccomend it to all those who want to visit this amazing country, which certainly is the pearl of Africa.

The Proprietor, Rose Agunga planned our itinerary meticulously and exceeded our expectations
Rose understood our needs, our schedule and carefully planned our trip.
She attended to every detail exhaustively, from the hotel and travel bookings, to the tickets and visa requirements and other nitty gritties relating to the various visits. She was very informative, respectful of our desires and attended to all bookings promptly. She communicated about all the requirements in good time which afforded us ample time for preparation.
The level of integrity was top notch. We felt comfortable through out the process.
We had an amazing trip, we loved all the proposed destinations. The tour guides and other service providers were courteous and informative. It was very clear that All Over Africa Safaris has established good partnerships in its operations, both locally and internationally.
I was blown away by the fact that she kept in touch at every important moment - just after landing (to ensure we had arrived safely), at pick up (to ensure our airport and hotel transfers were smooth) and in between visits to ensure we did not miss any item. For me, this was just exemplary!
I would recommend All Over Africa Safaris to my networks again and again.

A great experience with Karibu World, with a personal touch that tailors to individual needs
With so many tour companies out there, booking with Karibu World was definitely a good choice. From the onset when planning the safari, Karibu World did all they could to help tailor it specifically to suit our requirements and making suggestions along the way. I opted for a 3-day safari at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The pick-up by the driver was from Mwanza where the driver met us a day before to introduce himself and go through the itinerary. The car was very comfortable with a fridge, Wi-Fi, binoculars, drinks, snacks and sanitisers. The driver/guide was very informative, as he had a huge amount of knowledge and experience that gave us all especially our kids the best experience.
Both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro was breath taking! Including our accommodation at the Serena lodge, waking up to see a zeal of Zebras outside our room, and a Buffalo drinking water from the pool was just priceless.
Half way through our trip, we got a phone call from Karibu World to check if everything was ok, which I thought was a very nice touch. On our last day, we had a lovely picnic at the Ngorongoro by the Hippo pool, surrounded by outstanding scenic views.
Throughout our journey, our driver/guide was very attentive. On the last day our flight out from Arusha was late at night, so we requested for him to stop over so that we could get some dinner, he was more than happy to accommodate this, but one thing that will stick with me always was how he made it possible to pass by my boarding school in Arusha for a quick visit after 32 years! What a trip down memory lane!
I also booked a trip to Zanzibar through Karibu World and again was not disappointed. Overall, an amazing experience with lifetime memories!
Our personal thanks to Sona Thakrar and Outhman (Safari driver/guide) for making our trip very personal and special.

Excellent package on an easy budget.
We are so happy that we picked Mufasa for our Kenyan Safari. Jospeh, who helped plan the entire trip was so accommodating and ensured to include everything I wanted to do on my trip. He was always available on WhatsApp and any questions or doubts I had were cleared immediately.
I would definitely recommend Musfasa to anyone looking for an amazing kenyan trip on a budget. The places we stayed at were clean and all of them were in excellent locations.
If you're planning a trip, especially to kenyan, I would definitely recommend Musfasa for a wonderful experience.
And you should insist on having Kephar as your guide. He was not only experienced, which meant he had a keen eye but also had an amazing sense on humour.
Overall great experience with Mufasa. :D

A great experience in a beautiful place
The people who organized this tour were very nice and our driver was very competent. The accommodation are what we were expecting (not charming but it is accordance with the price). We had a great time and I think it is a good value for money deal!
