Very quick and professional trip organisation for good price
I recommend this company for everybody. We had two days Safari in Mikumi park. We travel with child 9 years old. We came to Dar-Es-Salam and I wrote e-mail to this company. They answered very fast and came to our hotel at same day, and next day we went to park. Also they took us before to supermarket. From all that I watched the price was the best. The guide was very professional and caring. We felt safe.
The car was without air condition, but with opened windows was very comfortable.
The food was good.
We lived in a house in the park. Fed the monkeys, and in the morning came the giraffes. We have seen many animals - lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and others.
Thank you very much for the professional work and quick trip organization.

Amazing gorilla trek with 12 year old!
We were so lucky when we found Encounter Africa Safari. They arranged for us a self drive car and - what is most important - worked hard to ensure a speciale permit for our 12 year old son for the gorillla trek (it is generally allowed from 25 years of age, but Enconter Sagaris arranged smoothly a special permit for us). We were amazed at their professionalism. Although we only rented a car, not a package tour (for budgetbreasons only because we heard that they are great), we were extremely well taken care of. They arr professionals in every aspect. Special thanks to Patrick Atalyeba wjo was our guarding angel during the whole trip helpingbus a lot, recommending places to hisit, accomodations to book and answering patientky milliondbof questions. This trip was amazing and meeting gorillas was a lifetime experience! Thank you again guys. If it wasn't for your help, we wouldn’t hava had such a wonderful time in Uganda. Its a 100 percent safe and extremely friendky destination for family vacation, wither on a tour or even self-driving.

Amazing safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro
Roam Serengeti Safaris has organized us an outstanding journey through Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks.
Mussa was very responsive and thoughtful while email communication as well as while our trip. As a guide Mussa is extremely good - we saw all the big animals live in the parks, he shared with us a lot of interesting facts about flora and fauna, local specificities and customs - it was a pure pleasure listening him.
We had a nightly accommodation in a nice hotel, food, everything was just great!
We will definitely ask him as a guide the next time we visit Tanzania.

We were fortunate to find Mmilo Tours by searching the Internet. Professional with great integrity!
First impressions were enhanced by the prompt and helpful responses to our many questions. Because we were new to the country we bombarded Mmilo with dozens of emails, all of which were replied to quickly and helpfully. We soon established a 10-day programme for Cape Province where we were ably guided by Charles. Up North in Gauteng we were firstly guided by Wilhelm and then by the boss himself, Patrick Hanratty. Our tours varied from penguin colonies, to wine tasting and from game reserves and conservancy projects to deep-sea fishing. We even managed a historical tour to Robben Island in the wake of Nelson Mandela. Throughout 3 weeks we were enchanted by the country and not least by the guides who are so committed to show the best of their heritage and fauna.
We were not an easy group - early on in the programme, one of us suffered an accident at our hotel, necessitating short-notice changes to the programme - which were handled with the customary professionalism and care.
We do not hesitate to recommend Mmilo Tours to visitors who will be able to rest easy in their hands as we did.

Best value deal
I’ve booked a 4-day safari tour including Masai Mara national park and lake Nakuru. Although the itinerary was adjusted slightly, everything went very smoothly. Due to our exceptional driver/guide Richard, we were lucky enough to see more animals than expected. Richard has a broad knowledge about the wildlife and was always concerned about our wellbeing. He was always happy to answer all our questions. Thank you again. Would definitely recommend it.

the tour was perfect organized and kindly handled by our guide Grace and driver Innocent
We had a wonderful 3-week-holiday in the beautiful country Uganda. Everything was perfect organized. Whenever we asked for individual things, it will be arranged just in time. We felt all the time very safe and good informed. Also the Lodges were very nice. Thank you so much for a perfect journey, which we enjoyed so much.

TOP SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE - WONDERFUL SAFARI
TOP SERVICE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE TRIP.
Mahlatini arranged for my family a Safari-style vacation in South Africa and Zimbabwe during 2018 Christmas holidays. I was more-than-expected satisfied by their assistance. Their proposed solutions were wonderful and they adapt them to our actual needs, they took care of all the details in order to have everything set and safe before the trip, and stayed in touch during and after the journey to guarantee their continuing assistance.
I had no idea about travelling in Africa and no time to learn about all the necessary details. They did it for me and I could just enjoy! Places and lodges were so beautiful…
I strongly recommend Mahlatini if you desire to enjoy a top class experience and do not want to lose your time in organizing or risk to take wrong decisions.
Thank you to Monique van Eeden and all the team!

Custom trip that included so many beautiful experiences in Uganda in 5 days
My wife and I wanted to plan a custom 5 day safari focusing on gorilla tracking and the Virunga volcanoes, starting and ending in Kigali. We reached out to Matoke and Madeleine was responsive, patient and knowledgeable in helping to create the perfect itinerary from several options. She and the Matoke team generally excelled with pre- and post-trip communications.
Our guide for the safari, Big Sam, was super nice. We relied on him mostly as a driver since we were staying at lodges and doing locally-guided activities arranged by our lodge or through the park system. We were so happy that he was such a safe and responsible driver! Our vehicle (a Land Cruiser) was great too, with no issues on the dirt roads off from Kisoro.
Oh... and the trip/safari were AMAZING!! Uganda is such a beautiful country and our experience was so special. It was even more special than we thought it could be. Some highlights: (1) getting so close to the gorillas (we tracked the Nkuringo group, one of 1 groups from the Nkuringo gate), (2) all the kids waving at us from the sides of the road, (3) the football pitch on a hilltop in Nkuringo, which we discovered through our lodge in Nkuringo (Clouds), (4) the Mt. Gahinga Lodge area, which is in the shadow of 3 Virunga volcanoes and was absolutely stunning, maybe the most beautiful place on earth (4) climbing/hiking Sabinyo (thankfully the weather was perfect for us), (5) the Kisozi caldera walk, and (6) all the nice and smiling people we met, including the Batwa in the forest in Nkuringo. We loved our trip and we loved Uganda!!!!
