Climbing Kili with Kiliclimb Africa Safaris truly felt like the best experience it could possibly be. I was able to enjoy the beautiful landscape, the exertion of the climb, and the act of living out in the wilderness. Any form of discomfort was countered by Moses and his great crew. Months later I still think about the traditional chanting the porters would break into after each day of climbing/walking. The food that was supplied was so delicious and plentiful for being on a mountain. They surprised us with pizza and popcorn at one point and every night there was a new type of soup to be served. From start to finish they exceeded all of my expectations.

AFTER 15 YEARS IN NAMIBIA AGAIN! Beautiful changes already at the airport: extensive, comfortable and most important
Namibia welcomed me warmly. Representatives of Wind Wild Safaris were waiting for me. The adventure has begun:
-First Swakopmund and a dream come true: a parachute jump!
-lagoon and salt extraction from the Atlantic, flemingos.
-Picnic on the beach and then the Crystal Gallery.
-Wolvis Bay and a paradise for anglers.
2. Transfer to Etosha National Park and a complete overview of animals and birds.
3. Route to Opuwo and overnight stay at Opuwo Country Lodge. In the morning, a dozen or so kilometers to a natural and original village of the Himba tribe, living according to old customs. There were dances and sightseeing of the entire village, and souvenirs.
Return to Windhoek. And going home. Sad to leave. Thank you Marta and Philip for the wonderful experiences and your care. I will come back to you soon!

Wonderful Pearl of Africa 10 nt. tour
We (2 seniors and adult son) had a great time in Uganda. Booking our personalized itinerary with Sander via emails was easy. Both the deposit and final payment could be paid by credit card. Our mid-range lodges and food were all excellent. Our guide Bob was knowledgeable, helpful, a safe driver, and could even predict the weather!
The whole trip went like clockwork. We saw all the wildlife we imagined, and were able to walk among some of them, including rhinos and giraffes. The primate treks were strenuous, but not to be missed. All the people we met were warm and welcoming. Thanks to Grassrootz and Bob for an unforgettable time in beautiful Uganda.

Organised pure quality, don't miss out
This was an amazing tour from start to finish. So well organised with everything being accounted for with excellent guides (creds to Evans) who went the extra mile on countless occasions and excellent contact from Kelvin informing me and guiding throughout the process. This trip honestly changed my life no negatives!

Beautiful country!
It’s a beautiful country, with so much adventurous activities. The wildlife sightings are a dream come true for any wildlife enthusiast. Avoid travelling to Mombasa in Jan-Mar, as it gets very hot in the day.

Trip of a lifetime perfectly hosted by Spirit of Kenya
We booked 5 day trip visiting Amboseli NP, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara via Spirit of Kenya. Team was super responsive to every query I had before the trip started.
During the trip, from the moment we exited the airport to the moment we reentered it, everything was planned and hosted perfectly by Spirit of Kenya. Our guide, Joseph was extremely knowledgeable & friendly, while he also knew when to give us our privacy & let us enjoy. He helped me plan the proposal & picked a perfect spot for the same for me, while also capturing the moment.
Spirit of Kenya provided us with great hotel & travel options as per our budget and can't praise enough the hospitality we enjoyed at every place we visited.
Highly recommend Spirit of Kenya for the safari experience and we can't wait to be back soon.

He was absolutely exceptional and felt like family.
It was an awe-inspiring, life-altering journey. This is something everyone should experience at least once, and it doesn't have to break the bank. From the exhilarating game drives to the cozy tents we stayed in, every aspect was flawless. We felt entirely secure throughout, and our guide was always available for assistance. Witnessing the Big Five was truly transformative. We saw Lions, Zebras, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, rhinos, buffalos, just to name a few.

Highly responsive and trustworthy
Just returned from a wonderful trip to Kenya. We were very pleased with the service provided by Bison Safaris. I think it would be difficult/impossible to organize a trip from the US without the help of a company and working with a local company was great. The agent was always very responsive and we organized a rather complicated trip (because we were traveling with my wife's large family they live in Kenya). Everything went so smoothly and we had a great time. Will go back in a few years and will definitely use Bison Safaris. Highly recommend!

Carol organised a trip of a life time that exceeded our expectations- awesome
From the first moment that we contacted Carol, she impressed us, her communication which was spot on, a lot of other companies can learn from her professional approach. She listened to what we were looking for and suggested a fabulous itinerary, which went above and beyond that suggested by the big UK companies and for a much fairer price, and for us we hoped for any $ we paid for our trip would go to Uganda.
From the moment we landed in Uganda we were looked after and made to feel special and looked after, from the welcome and flowers on our dinner table on our first night to the fabulous guide Richard, with whom we spent 9 days. Richard, our guide was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, good company and informative, he guided and looked after us keen to ensure that the trip met our expectations, it exceeded them! Carol’s attention to detail was evident, my husband loves birds and Richard guides bird safaris so was able to point out and provide information on all the birds we saw of which they are over 600 species in Uganda. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to see not only the big 5 at close quarters, but the Uganda Cob, Water Butt, wart hog, Hippo, Rhino and so many more. The chimp trekking was magical, we were lucky as a mum and baby, came down from the tree and sat with us for a few minutes almost showing off her baby, all the more special as it was Mother’s Day. The gorilla trekking was breath taking and it felt a real privilege to spend time with them in Kibale Impenetrable Forest. The animal high lights, were spotting two lionesses on the hunt on a night safari, being woken at 5.15 by an elephant snoring outside our lodge, then a stand off between a lion and buffalo, the chimps and gorillas, in fact there were too many.
The lodges we stayed in were all very different in character which added to the trip, in each the staff bent over themselves to make you feel welcome, the food on offer was always delicious and varied, the beds comfortable always 5*.
The Ugandan people without exception were friendly and welcoming and as interested in us as we were in them, the majority of Ugandans are leading very very simple lives, that we westerners were living at least 150 years ago and we lead very different lives that neither can comprehend, yet still they smiled and waved welcoming us.
Ugandan scenery is stunning, varying from lush green to savanna and everything in between and the trip gorilla link had organised ensured we got to see all the beautiful gems along the way.
Carol organised a fabulous tour for us and if we go back to Uganda I’d have no hesitation to ask Carol to look after us, as that’s exactly what she did. 10* from us.
