Fantastic Safari with small kids
Explorer Kenya Tours has done a great job with the planing and execution of our 6 day family safari to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park.
From the first contact Mrs. Purity was allways quick and patient in responding to my e-mails Some personalized changes of the initially proposed program where quickly incorporated.
The selected superior quality Lodges where up to the mark.
Our guide and Driver Jonathan did a fantastic job. He was patient with our small daughters, a good and safe driver.
In the parks he knows many persons and all the places. This knowledge and his love for photography helped us to spot and click everything we dreamed for from close range: Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards , Elephants, black and white Rinos, Hypos, Buffaloes, Giraffes, Crocodiles, Impalas, Zebras and many more.
We all loved it!

Reliable, Caring and Punctual
Dume's response was quick and precise. They went all the way to research about the best place to watch flamingos and had the plan B option ready . I travelled solo but during the seven days trip, I didn't feel alone. Henry even introduced lots of info on birds. The accommodation were all good. I highly recommend Dume Africa Trails to anyone who wants to go safari in Kenya.

An experience of a lifetime - brilliantly organised
My wife and I recently did a 10 day safari across Namibia and Botswana, ending with a visit to the Victoria Falls organised by Nature Travel Namibia. Their execution was flawless despite the complexity of the trip we planned. Nicolette, who organised our itinerary in collaboration with us, was extremely responsive to all our requests, made excellent choices for us in terms of places to visit and accommodation, and provided us with a superb guide, Marius, who was friendly, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, and responsible. Everything worked like clockwork, and we had the trip of a lifetime.
With regard to the trip we covered Etosha, Caprivi (BwaBwata National Park), Savute and Chobe before ending at Vic Falls. While Savute was the highlight in terms of game viewing (amongst other things we saw the rare African Wild Dogs) we had spectacular game sightings in all parks covering all of the 'big 5'.

Magical journey in Tanzania
Just completed an extraordinary 8 day tour in Tanzania arranged by Gosheni Tours. Traveling with our 20 and 24 year old daughters and Onesmo, our incredible guide. Amazing sightings so far which include the Wildebeast migration and stampede, lioness hunt and four (!) separate Leopard views. Lions with cubs and of course, hippos zebras giraffes and all the rest. Never a dull moment we saw everything we hoped to see and much more thanks to Onesmo's expertise and vast knowledge of Tanzanian wildlife. Communication was easy due to his excellent language skills and he has a wonderfully broad knowledge base about the culture and history of Tanzania. This feels like a National Geographic tour. I will add that the roads on safari are really rough and we saw many many vehicles with flat tires. We never had an issue as Gosheni is extremely vigilant with the upkeep of their tires and vehicles. This is an important consideration as you can lose a lot of time when dealing with flat tires. It was also clear that our guide Onesmo has a good deal of mechanical expertise should any problem arise which was reassuring. Accommodations were all excellent, huge comfortable beds, wonderful views and great food options. we will return and book a trip with Gosheni Tours and Onesmo again!

Journey of our Livetimes!
What a Journey! We made the first part of our honeymoon with Mazingira Safari and had the experience of our lives. The contact with Johari was very good from the beginning, she is very nice and made as a custom tour through 3 different national parks. The accommodations the Company picked were outstanding beautiful and clean, we loved every Single minute of our stay. In difference to other companies where we requested an offer, Johari was the nicest one of all competitors and answered very quick and respectfully. Our driver, Thom, was outstanding friendly and is very experienced. He told us things about the animals, what they‘re going to do or where they will walk before it Even happend. Only because of His Knowledge and Patience we were able to See and capture the Most amazing photos and memories during our Trip. Thom also waited for More situations, when other drivers in the Park has leaved the scene, so Most of These amazing Moments we could enjoy Even alone or with maybe 1 or 2 other Cars. Thom knows everything about animals and the environment - ask him everything, he can always give you a detailed answer. His goal was to Start as strangers and end as friends, he sure achieved this goal. Also, he made this journey unforgettable. I can honestly recommend this company!
(P.s.: We’re germans and booked directly from germany without any problems. We always felt safe, secure and respected)

Breath-taking & Ultra Accommodating
Before I go on THANK YOU JOANNA for being the best guide we could ask for.
Prior to arriving, Frank was very responsive, helpful and professional when making our itinerary. This process was the start to a very carefree trip where we didn’t have to worry about a THING.
From the moment we landed in Rwanda the team was by our side, there was no moment where we felt confused nor felt lost in a new city. They were always ready and willing to go the extra mile for us.
For example we planned a day in Rwanda just to ourself , easier said than done in terms of getting around. As soon as we told them that we planned to check out the city they asked if we wanted a driver to show us around. What was supposed to be a day of just checking out the place turned into a tour where we learned so much.
The accommodations at each destination were top notch and the service was unreal especially where we stayed to see the gorillas!
The days were well planned but also flexible if we needed to modify. It was all about the details! For example: There were always fresh bottled water in the car. And having the resource of a local guide at all times gave us a deeper appreciation for the country and culture.
A perfect example of the level of thoughtfulness:
While in Akagera we wanted playing cards. Joanna and our local guide went so far out of their way to get someone in town to buy and deliver a pack of cards all the way into the national park. It was BEYOND our expectations.
Jonna and team are super thoughtful. We were able to totally customize our trip to our schedule and spend our time the way we wanted.
Thanks again Joanna and team for being guardian Angels.

Always looked out for us on our fantastic tour!
We went on a 13 day tour of Rwanda and Uganda with Mega Wild Safaris. This was the trip of a lifetime for an unbelievably reasonable price. We saw everything! In Rwanda we drove on safari and tracked chimpanzees. In Uganda we spent time with mountain gorillas (sitting right among them), went lion tracking and found 2 prides plus 2 leopards, multiple safari trips and two boat safaris, one on the Nile. Saw so many hippos, crocodiles (huge), elephants, giraffes, rhinos, jackals lots of monkeys and birds. We were up close with all of them.
Our tour guides (James, Dalson and James) were so attentive and friendly. They were always watching out to make sure we had a perfect vacation. Our hotels were great and the food excellent.
No bugs, no issues at all! I highly recommend this tour company for African tours. The 13 day tour would be great for families or groups of friends, even alone if you so desire.
