Excellent, professional and friendly service.
If you are planning to travel to Kenya, do yourself a favor and let JORADO handle it. They did our trip and we had one of the best time in Kenya.
First off, the team is quite professional. The driver arrived on time. The vehicle was in perfect condition complete with a red carpet, accommodation was fantastic.
Absolutely everything went as planned, we were basically taken care of from start to finish making it easier for my friends and I to kick back and relax.
This is my second time with Jorado Safaris and am happy I chose them again. I highly recommend JORADO.
Our only regret is not taking this trip years ago.
Thank you for your hardwork helping to organize our trip.

Amazing trip with Easy Travel & Matoke
It was an incredible trip in Tanzania with Easy Travel & Matoke. The whole plan and process were well organized. We almost see all the scenes and wild animals that we expected. Thanks to our guide Adrien. He is so kind, experienced and professional. During the trip, we saw many cars which were broken down. And we only changed one tire. Highly recommended!

An unparalleled, once-in-a-lifetime, experience!
Thank you, Easy Travels, for the most incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our honeymoon surpassed every expectation thanks to Hellen’s impeccable itinerary and Gerald’s, our driver guide, exceptional depth and breath of knowledge. Gerald has 30 years of experience as well as a real passion for all wildlife. He can recognize and explain all animal behaviors, imitate their calls, and identify nearly 500 different kinds of birds! I highly recommend asking for Gerald to be your driver-guide, his descriptions, lay of the land, and generosity is unparalleled. Thank you, Hellen, Gerald and EasyTravel!

Spectacular safari experience
My wife and I had the most wonderful Safari experience for our honeymoon.
EasyTravel did an excellent job arranging the entire trip. They prepared pre-travel travel checklists, arranged all hotels and airport transfers, and answered any questions i had.
Our safari guide, Gerald, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeably about animals and birds (Gerald is a bird aficionado!), and his 20+ years of experience enriched our Safari adventure. I highly recommend asking for Gerald when booking!
Overall, EasyTravel was professional and exceptional in every way.

Excellent trip
Serengeti Smile customized our trip to fit in the short time (three days) we have and adjusted the trip within constraints to accommodate the delayed flights of our group members from the U.S. due to the weather condition. It is very responsible and did everything they can to accommodate us. Our guide Gama Said did a great job to show us the wonderful wild animals in Tarangire. We liked very much the camp Tarangire Safari Lodge. Perched by a cliff, it provides a breathtaking panorama view of the valley and Tarangire river. It is also close to safari drive.

The guide made our experience pretty disapointing
The organization and comunication with Karibu has been great. The lodge we stayed at was also very nice and price for the services was also fair.
We are disapointed at the guide. Was not explaining anything to us unless we were asking for something specific and even then he could be wuite rude sometimes. He did not explain what was our program, what we were doing that day, what were we trying to see....nothing at all. He was in the phone all the time and not cooperative at all. Even after the lunch break all the people would be ready and waiting for him to keep going and he would be talking to others, or just chilling or on the phone.
We gave him tip just because we were suppose to and was highly recommended to do so, not from the heart. If I would go back in time I wouldnt give him a cent. He did not do a good job and he knew it, and despite that he was acting quite arrogant. So sad that such a experience was not enjoyed to the fullest.

Can't trust Silas
Sadly I have to agree with some of the reviews about Apodiformes Adventures.
During the hiring process, Silas, the owner of Apodiformes replied to my messages right away, adapting to our needs and promising an exceptional quality of service.
Being our honeymoon, we hired a safari considered luxury (over 4000 EUR for 5 nights), requesting booking at very specific accommodations.
Until we formalized the reservation (transfer of 40% of the total) evething was fine. Once the payment was done the problems started to show up. The most wanted accomodation, Enkewa in Masai Mara, did not accept the reservation for not complying with their conditions (minimum 3 nights stay and take care of safaris in Masai Mara). Silas lied that they knew the accommodation and had previously worked.
The alternative was Olengoti Eco Camp, this accommodation has two types of room, tent and bungalow. The bungalow was requested (and paid for). Upon arrival at the Camp, the staff informed that our booking was at the inferior category and that they had no availability to manage the changeo of room. Silas lied again saying that the fault came from the camp (they showed me the booking made from Apodiformes) and that all rooms had the same price.
The third day of safari we had an incident with the car, we were standing 6h waiting for the repair. The guide asked us to take it easy and ask us to eat/drink in the cafeteria that the agency would cover. This never happened, not only that, Silas knowing the issue never got in touch with us in the whole week to check how things were going. We lost one day of safari and he didn't even care.
In the agreed itinerary, later that day we had a stop at Tompson Falls for lunch. We had to argue with the guide because Silas had not informed him and did not want to stop or pay the tickets.
With all the above being said, the overall experience was very good, thanks to John (our great guide) and the staff of the camps/lodges, but I would never hire them again for the lack of honesty and service provided by Silas.
It may be slightly cheaper than other companies but the price difference does not justify having to be constantly alert, feeling cheated and with the sensation that if there had been any problem the agency would not have helped or solved anything.

Perfect safari!
My boyfriend and I went on safari to Tanzania with African masterclass tours and it was absolutely amazing trip we ever done!
Everything was well arranged and planned by Brenda and happened as planned from the day we arrived to the last day of our safari.
Livingstone who was our guide made this safari tour every enjoyable, he's very professional with excellent knowledge on animals and parks, we were lucky that we spot all the big five and other animals. Also he answer all the questions we asked about what we saw during the safari.
The accommodation and food were excellent too!
We would highly recommend African masterclass tours

Amazing, exceeding expectations
We had a wonderful private Safari to Namibia organised for four people.
Landed in Capetown, spent the day to visit with a guide, flying to Windhoek the following morning.
Also half a day on the way back.
Then our Namibian guide took over in Windhoek and looked after us for the next 12 days.
We had a very comfi 4x4 car, 8 seats, air conditioning.
Drove through the Namib desert. Our guide made the most of it. We were the first ones hiking the orange dunes at sunrise, then running down to the petrified trees.
We were the last persons climbing the Dune 45 at sunset, amazing colours and landscape.
We then drove through Namib desert to Swakop. Wonderful cruise experience watching Flamingoes, Dolphins, Seals....
Then a few days in Damaraland desert, watching wild elephants and learning from desert plants, animals, and engraving stones 4000 years old.
Finally a few days in Etosha park, watching so many wild animals : Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Spring box, Cheetas, Lions, Rhinos, Oryx, Hyena,Chacal.....
Our guides were fantastic making the most of it, very attentionate, organised and knowledgeable.
We can't thank enough Darren and Kate who have organised our trip and given us excellent advices.
The Hotels and guesthouse were very comfortable.
We came from London and had a stop in Capetown. We then flied with Airlink to Windhoek.
