Kuda is a great guide!
Kuda was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. He told entertaining and fascinating stories about Victoria Falls and his life in Zimbabwe. He also took great photos of us. I highly recommend him. Many thanks to Kuda for making our once-in-a-lifetime experience of visiting beautiful Victoria Falls even more memorable.

Unforgettable and in good hands at all times
We went on a five day safari with Gideon from Morindat Tours. First two nights in Amboseli National Park, then two nights in Tsavo West National Park. It was a wonderful experience from planning to saying goodbye in Nairobi.
We felt that we were in good hands at all times, be it when it came to planning, picking us up at the hotel in Nairobi, during the safari... Either Titus or Gideon were always there to help and advise.
Gideon is a wonderful guide who is very respectful and reliable. He also explains everything wonderfully and sees the animals without binoculars! Our highlight: The Kingfisher, who pointed us to the baboon and finally to the leopard in the tree :-) . Thanks eagle-eyed Guideon! It was an unforgettable experience.
We thank Morindat-Tours and especially Gideon, who made our safari a highlight of our lives.
We unreservedly recommend this company. Reliable, punctual, respectful, informative, trustworthy - what more do you need...?

Wonderful Safari Experience
Fantastic 5-day Safari experience with our guide Geoffrey. Parks visited were astonishing and full of animals, especially Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We were able to see all the Big Five animals. Slightly below the other site is the Lake Manyara park: if you are fan of animals they are more difficult to see there.

It was more than we expected, and an overall excellent experience, that i will recommend to everyone
It proved to be a great experience. We had excellent sightings through out the trip. The tour guide, Peter, was not only an extremely friendly person but was a very seasoned and knowledgeable guide. And was able to take us to the right spots for these sightings. Our camps were best in class with the available amenities made our stay extremely luxurious.

Professional, positive, supportive, top class!
We had an amazing two weeks trip with Kilimanjaro Adventures Heroes!
First week being the ascension of the Kilimanjaro, and the second a 5 days safari.
We chose to take the Lemosho route for the ascension as we were advised it was the nicest and the less crowdy of the main routes. We were so pleased with this choice! And we couldn't have dreamed for a better team with us. Each of them were always so supportive, positive and professional. The happy team! We will never forget them. And our guides Siza and Dominic have been amazing to us from the start to finish.
The safari with our guide Georges was also very nice, with impressive sceneries and animals going close to us. We would definitely recommend people to go to the Ngorongoro park.
We would add that the communication with Evarist was very easy and effective during the organization of the trip.
We highly recommend any people interested to go with Kilimanjaro Adventures Heroes!

Remarquable experience through Uganda with Gorillas and Beyond Safaris
We had an excellent time travelling with Gorillas & Beyond Safaris in Uganda and our guides, Hillary and Duncan!
The seven-day safaris trip brought us to three different locations: Murchison falls NP, Kibale NP, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP. All three locations were amazing and the tour also contained cultural experiences in local communities, a diversity of activities we appreciated. However, the long distance between the different parcs required long drives, we would therefore recommend to invest more time to visit those places.
We were also very satisfied with the general organization of the tour and our guides, who were friendly and knew when to provide informations, fun facts and others, but also when to let us some private time. The quality of the accommodations consisted also a very positive discovery since all were confortable, even luxurious.
We appreciated our adventure and would recommend discovering Uganda with Gorillas & Beyond, Hillary and Duncan!

African Big Cats made our Safari Experience Exceed our Expectations!
From the very first enquiry with African Big Cats, we knew we had chosen the best! Throughout the planning, they responded promptly and efficiently to our enquires and requests for information. We booked the 5 day/4 night luxury private safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara) and it was perfect. We started our Tanzanian adventure in Moshi. Emmanuel met us there the day before to give us our briefing and our guide Kanti picked us up to begin our adventure the next morning. Our vehicle was a comfy and well equipped Land Cruiser.
Huge kudos to our guide Kanti, he was so incredibly knowledgeable about all the wildlife, the birds, the landscape…we learned so much from him. I don’t know how he was able to spot things of interest so quickly and often from a distance! He made sure we had an opportunity to stop whenever we wanted to for photos etc. It was clear that Kanti’s goal was to make our safari experience the best and he most certainly achieved that. He was funny and kind and it was a joy to travel with him.
All of the accommodations arranged by Emmanuel and staff were first rate! The staff at all the lodges were kind and helpful, the accommodations exceeded our expectations, the meals were five star + (out of five!)
We began our safari with Tarangire National Park and it was our favourite. We saw soooo many animals. Zebra, elephant, lions, hippos, giraffe, wildebeest and close up! The landscape of the park is varied and beautiful. Our first night was at the Escarpment Luxury Lodge, wow. Gorgeous huge bungalow with our own little patio from which we watched a family of baboons stroll by. The best dinner ever sitting outside overlooking the landscape as the sun set. Next day we were off to the Serengeti…a long drive but so much to see as the view changed. We spent two nights at the Serengeti Mbalimbali Soroi which was magnificent (sorry, loads of superlatives but they are well deserved). After a long day in the land cruiser it was lovely to return to our rooms and have an outdoor shower (so cool!) and then sit out either on our own balcony or on the lodges’ huge patio and watch the amazing sunset. Many thanks to Emmanuel at African Big Cats and the Soroi for arranging for/accommodating a last minute request regarding our booking there. Our days in the Serengeti were all that we had hoped for with so many animals in their natural environment. Then we were off to the Ngorongoro crater which is such an amazing site…a very different landscape from the Serengeti, lush and lots of animals in large groups by the water. It’s where we saw our first rhino (at a distance). Kanti made sure to get us in the best spot to watch the rhino through our binoculars. Our last night was at the Ngorongoro Retreat Lodge…I think our favourite lodge because we were able to walk around their beautiful grounds, something you can’t safely do elsewhere due to the other lodges’ more remote locations. Again, the staff and food were fabulous. Last day was Lake Manyara which was unique but there were fewer animals out and about and we had been so spoiled with the sights on the first four days. Then to Arusha to end our safari at the Cultural Heritage Centre. This place is a shopping experience and museum…our recommendation for the best opportunity to buy your gifts/memories. Beautiful craftsmanship and very good prices. We met with Emmanuel as he wanted to get feedback about our experiences (all 100% plus) and then Kanti took us to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar.
In summary, the safari exceeded our expectations. It was well worth the cost. It was apparent from the very beginning that African Big Cats is dedicated to ensuring we had the best experience, and they did.
Tips for travellers. Bring comfy clothing for hot weather and remember it’s quite cool overnight and in the morning. African big cats provides a list of items to bring with you…they have covered it all. There was a pair of binoculars provided but I was happy that I had brought along my own small ones so we could both watch the goings on. The people of Tanzania are some of the most kind and helpful people we have met in our travels. They made us feel so welcome.
Please don’t hesitate to contact African Big Cats to help you achieve the experience of a lifetime. Thanks to Kanti, Emmanuel and Naomi!

Thanks
I had a valuable experience. We stayed in Masai Mara for 5 days and 4 nights.
The first driver had a lot of trouble and was the worst, but the second driver gave us the best service.
If I have another chance, I would like to visit the Masai Mara.

just perfect!!!
When you start looking at safaris... doubts begin which agency will be the best? Will they be serious and meet your expectations and with their word? .. and the truth was that it was a complete success. From the first day they resolved my doubts, anything I asked they wrote to me at the moment to solve them, a great professional from the beginning to the end. They have made my trip perfect. He made me feel at home, being so far away and not knowing what would happen... he complied with everything agreed and more since he solved a problem with the room last night. He picked me up and changed me to another hotel where I was great. all kindness and excellent treatment! The guides are also super professional, being able to see a multitude of animals and experience wonderful moments. just thanks for everything. If you have any doubt about which company to choose, choose them! I will recommend it to my relatives!
