Great safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania
We had a great time in Africa (12 days in Kenya and Tanzania).
Our first tour guide, Ben, said that he was there "to make it count". He and the two other guides certainly made it count.
The general organization of the tour was OK, the guides were present on time on every appointment, great accomodations, good food. All this for a reasonable price.
There were one or two problems but they were quickly forgotten thanks to the beauty of the landscapes and the animals. And that's the most important, we did not think to see so many animals so close and that's a fantastic experience.

Fantastic, memorable, ethical, responsible, sustainable and one of the best guides we've had in 40
Excellent all round and a complete 10 out of 10! My husband and I have just spent seven incredible days on safari with Saimon as our guide and Abdul as our cook. What an experience that will truly live with us forever! We advocate ethical, responsible and sustainable tourism and they delivered completely. Loving all forms of wildlife from small to large and birdlife we saw the big 5, huge number of birds and so much more. Saimon's ability to spot from a distance was brilliant and his immense knowledge of Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara gave us many advantage points away from others. Abdul was a great cook and we enjoyed a varied menu including lovely local dishes and we certainly didn't get hungry! All our campsites were in beautiful locations and extremely clean so don't discount basic camping as an option. We cannot recommend Saimon, Abdul and Gladiola Adventure enough!

It exceeded my expectations.
Booking online can be a bit scary because you’re not sure if you’re dealing with a reputable company or not. I was so happy to find that the Baboon Budget Safari staff were everything you could possibly hope for, even though the cost was very reasonable. Our guide, Stanley, was an excellent driver and shared with us so many interesting facts about the animals we saw. He was also very good at spotting animals from a considerable distance, and I couldn’t believe how many species we were fortunate enough to see. Stanley’s work days on safari were long and demanding, yet he handled it all like it was easy. 5 stars for Stanley!! Our accommodations at Mara Sopa and Lake Nakuru Lodge were wonderful - attractive, clean, and the food was delicious and varied. I would highly recommend this safari company to everyone. They go out of their way to ensure that their customers have a happy and memorable safari experience. Thank you so much Stanley & Teddy.

Memorable 3 Weeks in East Africa
I wanted to visit Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda in one trip. In early 2018, I arranged a customized program for the coming November with Obed – who was recommended to me by a fellow traveler. Originally from the DRC, but now residing across the border in Rwanda, Obed had the contacts and expertise to make my plan happen. In addition, he was competitively (and reasonably) priced. From the planning process to the time of booking, I received nothing but excellent customer service. Obed listened and made sure to deliver. He appropriately took care of the required permits for me – no problems anywhere. Communication was never an issue – he replied to my emails and messages in a timely fashion and made sure to address each question, comment, and concern. This continued into the tour. He showed up on time every single day. Obed’s friendly, welcoming personality and energy radiated from the moment he greeted me in Rwanda. Conversations were easy – we shared the same sense of humor. He was informative, yet listened to know when I had enough. Furthermore, he was able to answer all of my questions without any hesitation. He made sure that I was comfortable throughout the trip – whether in the car or checking in to the accommodations. The vehicles used for transportation were comfortable. Most importantly, he was flexible. Anytime that I had an idea, or wanted to add or get rid of an activity, he made it happen. No questions asked. Overall, Obed was a delightful guide and lived up to (and exceeded) my expectations. I strongly recommend Obed and Kumbukumbu Tours if you need a fixer or a tour operator/guide for the area.

Very efficient and well organized trip
We had a very good trip in the end of november to Okavanago delta thanks to Kenosi. He was very patient with us when we prepared for the trip and changed our plans a couple of times because of flights to Botswana, and at the end of the day we enjoyed a very nice safari. Unfortunately we have not seen wild dogs, but apart from that we were lucky enough to see lots of other animals and in general the trip exceeded our expectations. If we go to Botswana ever again, we will try to use the same agency again.

Great service, nice people
I had a great experience with Ngoni Safaris in Uganda.
The staff were really friendly, helpful and offered great travel advice at a good price.
I would recommend this to anyone, any day!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Monika
Lot of animals! The scenery is very different, given it's a crater you can see far and wide which also means seeing a lot of animals. It does, however, mean that there are not many surprises hidden in the bushes, or the other side of a hill (as there are none).

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Monika
We saw a lot of baboons and elephants, as well as many zebra's, wildebeest and bufallos. However, having been to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Maasai Mara it felt that there wasn't as many animals as in the other parks, possibly because many were hidden in the bushes of the lake Manyara Park.
