Memorable experience in Kenya with Monkey Adventures
I started to get in touch with Monkey Adventures in Dec 2019 and Nyani used to handle my safari plan. He was patient and kind enough to answer all my queries. Provided that I had only 2 months to plan my safari in Kenya, I should appreciate his help towards clarifying all my queries, and the whole process booking and payment was smooth. Finally I booked 5 days Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha safari. I was flexible with the accommodation options and hence I found no issues there.
Once I landed in the Nairobi airport, Yvonne picked me up from the airport and I went to my Nairobi accommodation. She briefed about the tour in the evening. It was a warm welcome from them and I felt home and relaxed for the night. My tour started the very next day and I'm still as excited I was on that day.
On the safari starting day morning, the guide Joseph accompanied me throughout the tour. I had booked the Land Cruiser and it's truly a beast in that terrain! I was made aware that the last few kms towards Mara wouldn't be a pleasant drive. This vehicle manoeuvred through that road and the drive was manageable.
As a wildlife enthusiast, I know that the sightings are based on luck and it was definitely a lucky day for me. I spotted 4 of the big 5 animals (except rhinos) on the very first day. There was a leopard that was about to hunt a Gazelle but it missed the target somehow. Lucky day for the Gazelle but sad for the leopard. The endless Savannah would make even the giant elephants look tiny. Joseph was a knowledgeable and calm person. He spotted many species and explained about the rare species briefly. The next day when I was on safari, he contacted some others over the radio and we spotted a group of cheetahs. I was very happy about Masai mara as it was a dream visit there. Lake Nakuru and Naivasha didn't fail to surprise me either! I spotted many Rhinos, flamingoes, baboons, and Giraffes in Nakuru. And plenty of birds in both lakes.
It was truly a great experience and I would definitely visit Kenya many times again! Got to know that Monkey does safari in Tanzania and Uganda also. I've planned for Tanzania safai in Oct 2020 with them and hope everything goes as planned!
I'm already excited about my second safari and I would certainly recommend Monkey Adventures to my friends. Thank you everyone who were involved in making my safari experience special.

Unforgettable experience in Tanzania...!!!
We spent 9 days with East African Jungle Safaris and we had a wonderful time! We planned the tour with Ruth and everything has gone as per the plan. Everything was perfect: at the arrival we meet to our guide, Frank and just with in some time we became friends! He proved to be pleasant and experienced: he has taught us everything we needed to know about Tanzania. He told us the story of Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro and everything about wildlife. Whatever we had saw, so many animals, tribes, diversity and many more,,, we just have to thank him. This company gave us the opportunity to visit two tribes of bushmen with our guide. He told us about uses, costums and history about them. It was a beautiful experience! Lodges and tented camp provided by Ruth has been really comfortable and characteristic. Thank to the staff, we lived a beautiful experience in Tanzania... they made our stay unforgettable! We suggest to travel with EAJS because of professionalism, experience and excellent price/quality. Thank you Ruth and Frank!....and EAJS!!!

Wonderful and Friendly trip and good organization.
We were planning for a tour in Tanzania and we found out East African Jungle Safaris on internet, then immediatly we contacted Ruth for planning our safari-tour in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara Lake. We bought an individual trip (we were 2 of us) and we spent 1 week around with our amazing and friendly guide Eddy. We had a lot of fun, and we met many animals during the trip. The trip wasn't expensive and well organised. We chose some medium level accomodations and we spent 2 nights in a tented camp (kati kati) and it was an amazing experience:the dark of the night, the silence and the shining stars. All lodges and the tented camp were nice and clean. Food was good and diversified, we could choose among a lot of things. I think that to plan another safari tour booking through East African company and I also recommend this company to everyone looking for true experience ,,,, you will be sure to have a lot of fun with this serious organization.

Akagera NP trip was truly magnificent!!
We were able to spend a full day in Akagera. The best part of the trip was the boat ride on Lake Ihema to see aquatic animals. Our guide Apollo with us in Akagera Park was amazing! He was so professional and knowledgeable about the animals, especially the birds. His passion when talking about the birds, animals and the land is unparalleled. You could tell the love and respect he has for this park and it’s animals. He was even able to take us to see a bull elephant playing in the water.
The complete tour was wonderful. Everyone was polite, professional and fun! Our safari tour guide, Apollo, with Frena Adventures was knowledgeable about the animals and the area and he was so much fun to be around!!
I would highly recommend Akagera for anyone who wants to go on safari and do this with this company and guide and experience the animals and the land of Rwanda.

Super good safari ever!!
After a lot of consideration we decided to go ahead with MangiEMPIRE Adventures for our vacation. Our 5 day safari was tailor made and focused exactly on what we had asked. Right from our first email exchange with the trip organizer to the time we said our goodbyes, everything was given special attention. What's special about MangiEMPIRE is that when they say - full board/Half Board - they mean serious business. We had hot lunches everyday with new dishes and a mini fridge at our disposal, which was always stocked with beverages and fruits!
Our guide Daniel who was truly a professional, left no stone unturned in order to get us up close and personal with the 'Big 5'. His knowledge about the flora and fauna of Tanzania coupled with his hospitable and friendly nature was more than we could have asked for.
We had a six seater land cruiser to ourselves. It had charging points that really helped in charging our cameras and phones. All national parks have checkpoints and picnic areas, which are quipped with clean Bathrooms, which was a blessing!
I would recommend booking with MangiEMPIRE to not only our friends and family but everyone out there who wants to experience African wildlife in it's full glory. We would never be able to forget how this experience made us feel.
Most definitely, this wouldn't have been possible without MangiEMPIRE Safaris Tanzania!

memorable safari holiday with Speke Uganda
The wildlife in Uganda is absolutely stunning. Far exceeded our expectations. We booked with Speke Uganda Holidays and Kasamba our driver was very very helpful through the journey. We were picked up sharp on time from our Hotel in Kigali Rwanda and then drove to Uganda.
Kasamba was previously a ranger attached to Uganda National Parks therefore his experience was unparalleled We were lucky enough to see most of the big mammals at the Queen Elizabeth National Park and got to see many animals up close. The accommodations were great, particularly at Kasenyi Lodge. My wife celebrated her surprise birthday in the bush land Kasenyi Lodge. Being able to wake up and see the animals right outside or hear the lions roar at night is something very memorable. Kasamba knows so much of the animals and has an incredible eye. Since the grass was high, it was sometimes hard to spot the animals and he would see a leaf moving and knew something was there! He made our trip much better! I really recommend Uganda , you get to experience the real thing far away from the maddening crowds of other African National parks. Theres no better way to do that than with SPEKE UGANDA HOLIDAYS.

Amazing Safari we had in Africa!!
We had an amazing Kenyan safari with EAJS, just got to posting a review now! Ruth was very helpful in arranging the itinerary and changed it many times as per my requested! Without a doubt, Apollo was one of the best tour guides and drivers we've ever come across on any tour, anywhere!
We would highly recommend to our tour guide,,,, to travel at Tsavo National Park, amazing place and we were lucky enough to spot a leopard! During the safari we also saw the falls in Thompson Park, the wildlife at Naivasha and Lake Nakuru plus Masai Mara. Thanks to Apollo our tour guide we were able to get up close to lions, hyenas, rhinos, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, buffalo and many more! Amazing safari all round, and looking forward to visiting again! Will definitely be booking through EAJS again - amazing value for money and no complaints!
Thanks again to Ruth and Apollo!

Akagera - Exceeded my expectations.
Before visiting here, I had read that, this was a small park and the wildlife population was recovering and so I didn't expect so much but I would say It's not something like this,,,saw many animals as we did. We did one game drive and a boat safari and it wasn't disappointed any. Our short time there limited us to visit a short part of the park so we weren't able to fully explore the area but were delighted that on a short drive we saw an elephant, giraffes, zebras, impalas, hippos, a crocodile, antelope, baboons, monkeys, several birds and water buffalo and even a few others,,,.. I am forgetting. The boat safari was also a pleasant and relaxing surprise and afforded us to come up close views of hippos, crocs, and water buffalo along with some great bird viewing. This was my first safari so I don't have much else to compare it to but everything this company made for this tour was perfert and I came away satisfied wishing we had more time to visit up to the northern section of the park in hopes of seeing the lions and rhinos.
