Unforgettable trip with ETT
Exciting and full of impressions and adventures trip through 3 countries. A great experience of meeting gorillas and chimpanzees, but also an amazing experience from a boat on the Nile. Photos with crocodiles and hippos near the waterfalls will remain in our memory for the rest of our lives. Thank you Erast for taking care of us and for the wonderful time together on the island near the volcano in DRC.
Good luck.

EPIC TRIP WITH WITO
Gorilla Treking in Uganda & Rwanda
I found Wito Africa Safaris by chance on instagram. It appear to me by chance and caught my attention. It was a post regarding gorila treking in Uganda and Rwanda. I sent a DM for further info and Abdullie immediately answered my inquiry. Later we had a live chat to get to know each other. In this interview, I spoke of my expectations regarding the trip and received a beautiful e very detailed email with the trip plan, hotel, parks, etc. And prices and payment schedulled. My trip started on august 6h, in Entebbe, Where Titi pick me up Around 3am and drove me to the hotel. Titi is very polite, respectfull and excelente driver. The next day, Viriano met me at the hotel for a briefing and the next morning we started our drive to Bwind Mountains Where I would do the gorila treking. ON the way, we stopped for chimpanzee treking. Viriano is na amazing driver, very polite, spetacular, Always concerned with my well being. The experience was epic and amazing, unforgettable. After the gorila treking, I was driven to the border of Rwand and Uganda, where I was handed over to the driver-guide Cristian who was responsible for my visit in Rwand. Cristian is awesome! He loves Rwanda and knows just how to transmit his love to us. Actually, he knows all about Rwand, Rwand history and actuallities. There I visited Dien Fosse´s Museum and the Genocide Musuem. We had lunch at a restaurant where the food was superb. I strongly recommend WITO. The organisation and choice of accomodation by Adullie was perfect. My three guides, Titi, Viriano and Cristian were spectacular. I had such a good life experience, and as I Woman travelling solo, I felt extremely safe and respected by my guides. During the trip, the Wito team was Always in contact with me on whatapp to check if all was good. At the end, in Rwand, I was given beautiful souvenirs “a gift bag” with variou souvenires from WITO to take home. Definitely, recomend and my next safari will be with WITO, I have no doubt, because I am sure it will be amazing.

One of our top trips ever!
I have to say, our trip was one of our most memorable and fun trips ever. We had been on safari years ago through another operator and were very disappointed. But Natasha did not disappoint. The lodges we stayed and the hotels she chose were spot on. In addition, our transfers were flawless. The one time a driver was running late because of a traffic jam, we were told when our flight landed and had an easy solution. Natasha really knows South Africa and also really spent the time to craft a trip that was right for us! It was a milestone birthday for my husband, so this mattered! And everyone knew where we stayed and he was treated to cake, singing, etc. And can I say the animals are just amazing!!! Thanks to Natasha and the team!

Excellent but ask about tips!
7 day Machame route on Kilimanjaro followed by 3 day safari at Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Trek was excellent. Guide was great, food fantastic (especially given we were camping on a mountain!). We finished in 6 days which we appreciated (as we were all able to summit successfully). Only issue here was with tips. We tipped the recommended amount according to the Tanzanian Porters Association but the guides and porters had been told to expect two-three times more. I would encourage speaking to Cubs when booking to clarify what exactly the expected tipping situation is. Especially as the staff were all so fantastic!
Safari was great. We didn’t see as many of the rare animals as we had been hoping but not through any fault of our guide. The camping was fine, but be aware that if you are in a group with an odd number of people you will be asked to share a tent with someone else. Perhaps to be expected for a shared safari but I think worth mentioning upfront.
Overall, we definitely recommend Cubs for both trekking and safaris (especially given their low price compared to most other companies) and it would have been 5/5 if the above issues had been mentioned to us beforehand so we knew better what to expect.

Very personalized planning and realisation
Maleng Travel have realized a very personalized and individualized journey for me. My trip was organized centrally for Uganda and Kenya. Maleng Travel also responded to all my short-term requests for amendments and adjustments while we were on tour.

To be honest, it was our first experience and speaking with the Moostroll Manager I explained what me and my family were looking for and our badget ...now we can say that we received more that what we expected !!!
MR. Ben , the guide and his camp team were always on time about the day schedule because they were well prepared with food with water with the camping gear leaving my family the perfect timing to enjoy the space around . Ben is a well trained guide over 17 yrs through this amazing country , he knows about the history of the country and all about the animal world that you can and can't see during the journey . Chef cooked 3 meals a day in a heavy black solid pans on the wood fire so the food is really taste special to get you defenetly into the magic place where you are . Thanks to All , thanks Mr, Monametsi ...you and your team deserve more than what i could wrote but I wish you to bring more people in your tour in order to receive better comments Buona Fortuna Frankie Fede Pietro e Giovanni

Attentive operator who understood and was able to implement our individual wishes.
During our very comfortable stay at the Kiteme Comfort Lodge we came in contact with Erasm and Geoffrey from Brown Noddy Expeditions. They heard our vague ideas of what we want to see around Arusha and immeriately provided a thougtfull proposition. Together we discussed the options, where we felt very heard and Brown Noddy Expedition customized the tour for our individual wishes. For our trip to the Mulala Cultural Tourism Program the Operator organised a knowing and motivated young tour guide who showed us around in the village, its farms and gave access to the community. The excursion was longer than expected but absolutely worth the time and the money. Local food and drinking water was provided throughout the day, as well as the transportation with private driver there and back.
During our stay in Arusha at the Kiteme Comfort Lodge we could profit very much from the network, knowledge and tips from Brown Noddy Expedition, what helped us to move to and in other parts of the country such as Lake Natron or Lushoto.

Young Operator with cusomized solutions
Brown Noddy Expedition organised a very interesting excursion for us to the village of Mulala. We could see how coffee is produced from shrub to cup, how honey is harvested and how the fields are worked. The connection to the community with Mama Anna and her Cultural Tourism Program was very inspiring.
Overall we enjoyed a carefully organized day.
