Eye Opener
The tour was simply amazing. It did not only enable me to reconnect with nature, but it also helped me to learn a lot. So it was a funducation I.e fun and educating. At the end of it, I felt like there was more I could have done, so I can't wait to have another go at it some other time.

A splendid experience!!
We definely had an amazing 5-day guided safari to Selous GR and Mikumi NP.
Mr. Lenard has demonstrated to be a super professional guide and driver, conducting us into remote areas of Selous and Mikumi.
With his modified Landcruiser 4x4's with pop-up roofs that can be closed when travellling long distance we always had the feeling of comfort and safety. Accommodations were also super nice, especially in Mikumi Bastian camp we had a really nice stay, with kind staff and excellent food. Bungalow were always provided of a private bath with warm water. Beds were comfortable and provided of mosquito net. Staff was super kind and even food was excellent.
In conclusion I highly reccomand such a splendid safari experience with Going Green Safari Tour to everyone!

Being on safari in Uganda us like watching a spectacular movie
We have just has a twelve night safari with Richard from K-Safais in Uganda. It has been a memorable experience. We are retirees and were a little apprehensive about how we would cope with the pace on the road and managing in a different environment. Before we left home people who heard of our plans would warn us about security and health issues we would encounter. Let me say now that their ideas were formed without any knowledge.
Once we met Richard we knew we were in good hands. He visited us on the evening before we set out and his enthusiasm for showing us his beautiful country and its wildlife was most inspiring. Richard made our trip very interesting and a lot of fun. He anticipated all our needs in a very hospitable way. He focused on giving us an "experience" and he far surpassed all our expectations: entry to national parks, arrival at accommodation, connecting with local communities, answering all our questions were all smoothly and cheerfully achieved. Richard showed us so much wildlife and taught us a lot. He made sure that our trekking experience was manageable and successful!
Four wheel driving in Uganda proved to be fun and interesting and mostly quite comfortable. We had a great driver in Richard. I felt that I was watching a spectacular movie from my seat in the vehicle.
Now that our holiday is over, I am amazed at the memories we have and very grateful to Richard and K-Safaris. We highly recommend seeing Uganda with K-Safaris and we are confident that anyone who travels with Richard as a Tour Guide will have an amazing experience.

Flexible, Budget Friendly, VIP Services, Great Accommodations and FUN
We went with group of 3 for 10 days, 9 nights for both Kenya and Tanzania with customized itinerary base on our interest with the good price.
Everyday is very enjoyable and excited even it is the same route. Driver/Guide have very good eye-sight and know wild animals behavior in each area and this led us to see variety of action and nice scene everyday. Not just only see wild animals but he also give us some information about character or species of animal.

What could have been a dream trip, ended a disaster
The wild life, the sun stets and sun rises, the scenery were spectacular. All this, that could have been the trip of our lives, was immediately reduced to a "not doable again", because of the following history. This was a 2 week trip to Zanzibar with a passage on Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Every days were scheduled, by the minute. The Safari was scheduled for 3 days and 2 nights. We were arriving at Arusha at 9 o'clock, and we were supposed to join a group for the safari. In the day after the safari, the agency called us, saying that we couldn't join the group, because we were arriving at 9 and it was not possible to delay the safari because of us. We were really disappointed because we had the written confirmation by the agency, and now it was not possible... We force them to get a solution for us because everything was planed, and at the time, nothing was possible. So we managed a solution with another jeep just for us, but we had to pay 800 dollars more for this solution. In the day we arrived at the airport, there was the guyed and the agency lady, that in the moment asked us for the money of the safari, and the extra money for the change that it was not our mistake, it was theirs. We pull out a credit card, and we were about to have another problem. The machine wasn't working and we had to go to the near bank, that it was a 50 minutes drive. So if were late at 9 we were late 3 hours more for this trip to the bank. At the bank we couldn't withdraw money in the bank, we had to do it form an ATM machine. we had to use the card 8 times to withdraw money and we paid 12 dollars of taxes more for each withdraw. It was an extra 300 dollars for the safari. After this we were really late to arrive at the park to set up the tent. The trip was a completely adventure, the pour guyed that showed us the park had to drive like mad to get to the park on time, we had to lunch during the drive, we had to stop to pick up our materials for the tent.
So we arrived at the park, and of course it was dark already. For our surprise and one more time the agency lied to us, we had to set up the tent instead of having dinner and have the tent prepared after it. After a dangerous travel by jeep, and a very quick but very taste dinner from our chef, we had to set up a tent. After this we sow that there were no wood beds for us, just like the ones we sow on the picture that the agency sent us before confirming the safari on tents. We sleep on a small mattress in the floor of the tent, that didn't had any time to clear the air inside of it, the smell was really bad. Despite all this in the next day we had to pick up and disassemble the tent for the 1st day in the safari, we were more tired than the day before. We visit Serengeti, and we enjoyed it very much, but of course we arrived at another park, where we saw all tourists with their tents set up, and we had to set up our tent once again and in the next day to disassemble it once again.
What could have been a dream trip ended up like a tiring one.

Urbema Safaris a Scam-Avoid
Urbema Safaris are a scam. When I arrived in Nairobi, I arranged a safari and made payment ($1100.00), only to be told by the shady owner Benard Orero that the lodge was full. It is over three weeks later, with multiple conversations with Benard Orero, and no refund. I’m having to file a criminal complaint with Kenyan National Police and charge it back through the bank. Avoid Urbema Safaris and Benard Orero at all costs.

I never thought my trip to Kenya would be so incredible until I met Wildside
Johnson and Wildside Kenya Safaris made my time in Kenya unforgettable.
First, Johnson helped me with a fantastic safari, then I spent 2 months living with him and his family and touring various eco-tourist and agricultural-tourism sites and events across Western Kenya. Johnson is a loving and caring host and businessman. You are sure to have an incredible experience - whatever you end up doing in Kenya. He is well connected and ensures top-quality experience and care. I would recommend Wildside to anyone wanting a local, culture-based tourist experience. I experienced and learned more in 2 months with hime and his family than anyone I could have imagined.
Thank you again Johnson.

Everything is very well organized and the communication is great.
It was an incredible safari. Everything was arranged very well. The accomodations were great and the safari guide was amazing.
We have seen everything what we wanted to see. We highly recommend Makasa as a tour operator.
Without Makasa the trip will be not the same.
