Unforgetable experience!!
I had a work-related trip to Kenya and decided to take this opportunity to go on a safari. I searched for tour companies online, and finally decided to go with Africa Flash McTours. I have to admit I was a bit nervous - this was my first trip to Kenya, and I was traveling alone. It was an amazing experience! My flights changed and I had an extra day in Nairobi, and Peter made arrangements for me to have a driver ($60 for the day). I went to the elephant orphanage at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the giraffe center, and the Maasai market. I selected the 6-day tour. Maasai Mara was amazing - I saw a group of cheetah withing a half hour of entering the park! My driver, Patrick, was an excellent driver, knowledgeable about wildlife and the park. We had had some heavy rains for a couple of days, and I saw several other vehicles getting stuck. Patrick was able to navigate the vehicle through the park without getting stuck, but making sure I had excellent viewing opportunities. Lake Nakuru was amazing - I saw 2 male lions right on the road! And of course, flamingos, rhinos and a host of other species. Finally I spent a couple of days in Amboseli. I highly recommend Africa Flash McTours. The accommodations were great, and everything had been arranged so I could enjoy the experience and focus on the wildlife.

5 Night Safari
Safari Star Tours helped plan out our five night safari that took us through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our tour guide and founder of Safari Start Tours, Roger, was the best we could have asked for. He was super knowledgeable about all the animals and birds, and had extra material in the car to help us identify even more.
This was not our first safari but it was certainly our best thanks to Safari Star Tours. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful experience
We enjoyed a wonderful climbing on the Kilimajaro mountain. It was one of the best experiences in our life. The guides were very good and we had a excellent assistance. Best compliment at the chef (fresh and vaired food) and the waiter ( always present). In Arusha Roberto organized a short safari for us at the moment with a perfect guide. Ngorongoro is absolutely worth seeing. We recommend savannah for the excellent organization and because they also speak Italian!

Life Changing Philanthropy Experience
My life changed after visiting the beauty of Zambia in ways I was not expecting. I saw everything from a tiny bee to the magnificent elephant and met kind and electrifying local people of all ages. Being with Dazzle Africa sparked a wonder and thirst to educate myself on the lifestyles of children who didn’t have the luxuries I had growing up, such as eating healthy meals. Mostly, Dazzle Africa reignited my passion to save animals from unnecessary suffering by educating us about the dangers of poaching. I am forever grateful to the leaders who head Dazzle Africa for helping me fall in love with Africa so deeply that I’ve been twice!

Well organised, communication could be better though.
The accommodation was great, well organised trip, our driver was excellent, good car. The communication and pre-trip information could have been better. We were not aware of mandatory tipping (which is quite high), also not aware of an additional guide for Rwanda - certainly didn't need one.

Great safari with great company!
Journey started with planning. I reviewed a lot of proposals on Safaribookings and liked the one proposed by Soul of Tanzania. Unfortunately it was only for 4 days and I wanted for 6 days. I sent a request for custom journey with some personal wishes and immediately got and answer from Sandy with the custom proposal. We discusses many detals before the trip, Sandy always answers immediately.
Then we made a payment and came to Kilimanjaro. Our guide Edward (a real professional!) met us in the airport. After this moment we could relax and thought only about which animal we can see today)).
We could see leopards twice, one time even with kids. We've seen cheetahs, many lions, elephants and many other animals.
We had no one issue during our journey. Just relaxed, didn't worry about anything. It's very important for us that the journey was exactly how we planned, no even minor changes. Accomodation as planned (I could check the ratings beforehand on Tripadvisor), planned routes. No surprises!
Clean and new car, as many water as I need, and I espessially like hot meals for lunch instead of lunch box.
There was a power socket in the car, we could charge camera batteries and phones. It's very important as our Serengeti camp had problems with charging.
We took standard accomodation variant and found all camps and lodges quite acceptable. The staff was friendly and rooms comfortable.
Next time I will go to safari only with Soul of Tanzania.

Uniglobe was professional and accommodating -- a pleasure to work with!
Simon Njuguna gave us a number of options within our price range, with detailed information about each and very clear instructions about how to proceed with making our booking, including flights, payment plan, etc. We had a wonderful experience in the Masai Mara at Basecamp Masai Mara -- beautiful natural and cultural experience of the Mara. Thanks for all your assistance in making it happen, Simon!

We got high level of service from the beginning til the end of our tour. Fully met our expectation.

Selected hotels were perfect and our guide helped us during the check in.
All our questions about animals and Kenya life were ansvered also during the way from park to park and to he final destintion in Mobasa.

Unforgettable self drive safari well planned!
We booked a 16 day self driving tour, starting in Kampala and going via lake Mburo, Bwindi Impenetrable, Queen Elizabeth Kibale and Murchison Falls around the country. It was really worth travelling to Uganda both for the nature and the people, who were very friendly and open. Highlights of our tour were the Gorilla tracking, the chimpansee tracking and a balloon flight at the end. All accomodations were nice with friendly staff and good food, and situated in good locations with stunning views.
Chameleon Hill Lodge made us dream of living there because you can swim in the lake, the climate is not too hot and a lot of activties around.
The whole tour was well prepared by ACROSS Africa, they were also very helpful when we needed support (we had some trouble with our car), so we will definitely book them again.
