It has been really efficiant with the agency GILTEDGE. Very good contact.
My first time in RSA, with 2 of my daugthers. I was expecting a wonderfull trip, with a stay in Kruger Park, at the BUHALA lodge, and it has been amazing !
Eveything was perfect, in time, and i was informed all the time for the details.
A woman was waiting for us at the Tambo Airport, and it was very pleasant.
The rental car was perfect.
Many thanks to all the GILTEDGE team.

Excellent organization and support
Most of local guides were very knowledgeable some were less and when asked Tanya and associates changed the guide.
Hotels choosed and recommendation were very good and in the case of problems that arose during our tour we have been fully supported by Faye and problems have been dealt to our full satisfaction .
The Kruger Safari was incredible.
Fully recommend this company.

As my teen sons both said, "the best week and the best experience of their lives"
I had no idea what to expect, but the Lion King team delivered more than I could have imagined. We had a spreadsheet of 15 options and choice to contact a few that were headquartered in Tanzania and rated by the national tour board. We then compared prices and mid-range options, and went with LKA because they had the best communication and most flexibility. We were a bit nervous sending $ overseas to some unknown group, but when David appeared at the airport to collect us, we were relieved, and then embarked on the trip of a lifetime. The accommodations in Arusha and Karatu were better than we could have imagined. Eileen's Trees Inn in Karatu may be my favorite inn on any trip ever. The hosts were welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Our tour guide, James, contacted ETI in advance to arrange a cake for our 12 yo son's birthday! James - what can I say. He was patient, professional, informative. He knew where to go, how to time our travels, and patiently adjusted our travels to suit our requests. He knew a ton about the animals, the botany, and the Maasai culture. We peppered him with questions and he always had an answer. Plus, he was a fantastic driver, navigating crazy rocky dirt roads and fording streams. Thank you Anna for providing us a perfect itinerary, thank you David for transporting us to and from the airport, and THANK YOU James for fulfilling our trip of a lifetime!

Great organization with a super tour guide (Jackson)
Me and my wife arranged our safari only in Masai Mara in order to see the wild life and not to spend our time traveling other locations for 6 nights and 2 different hotels. Maggie was very helpful and responsive in the process of arranging every single detail of our safari. For me, the most important thing in the safari is the guide/driver, what you are going to see is in his hands. Jackson was our guide and I think he is the best. He understands the animal behavior, always listens the radio talks from other guides and always know where and how the animal goes.
Thanks to him we saw 5 big (Rhino was the hardest for our period but he tried a lot and managed to find it), live lions wildebeest kill (if you are with your wife or girlfriend, close her eyes because they are all crying ), live cheeta gazelle kill and every single animal in my Masai Mara check list.
It was totally a perfect experience and decision to arrange our safari with Tekko Tours.

Visit to Kibera..like a local experience!!
I visited kibera with my friends, just to experience the Kenyan culture and see the way people live in the slums. I had an amazing time of touring kibera and eating ugali with sukuma wiki (local delicacy). The people of Kibera have a very warm demeanor despite the many challenges they face. I highly recommend this visit with Like a Local Safaris :)

Great Service and Amazing Experience
We booked with Fair Travel Kilimanjaro based on serious internet search. From the very beginning, through countless emails and revisions, the coordinator, El was prompt, professional and helpful. His hand was felt throughout the tour, as he checked in with our guide and even met with us a couple of times.
I research and requested itineraries (and quotes) from 10 different tour companies. I knew what we wanted and that was a safari to go down as our best vacation ever and a few nights on a beach just for fun and relaxation. Fair Travel Kilimanjaro delivered this and SO much more.
They also provided a “Detailed Travel Journal of 10 pages” that helped us make sure we were appropriately packed with everything we may need and made the VISA (immigration) process so smooth. Their communication and detailed itinerary matched every aspect of our safari and Zanzibar beach fun!
Jacob was our guide for the safari and he was amazing! His knowledge about animals and birds, and driving skills were very good. He was excellent at spotting animals and knew all the species. He was very humble and friendly and made us feel extremely comfortable during the entire journey. He never pressured us and gave us time to enjoy his beautiful country (Tanzania).
We visited Tarangire National Park, L. Manyara N. Park, Serengeti (2 nights camping too on the Serengeti), and Ngorongoro (crater). We spent 2 nights on the Serengeti and woke to sounds of the animals and saw different ones also right from our tent! The links Fair Travel Kilimanjaro provided to us matched the places we were going and staying at.
Everything was up to date and current. The food was diverse and so good also. At the end of our safari Fair Travel Kilimanjaro also coordinated our beach family time in Zanzibar. They arrange a driver, room, air travel, and provided everything we needed to relax and enjoy the beach! I would recommend this company to ANYONE who wants a memorable experience. The memories that they helped us achieve will stay with us forever!

Amazing experience perfectly organized by Bee Eater and Honey Guide Safaris!
The communication with Rade during the planning phase of our trip was perfect: I did always receive very precise and quick answers and recommendations, if we were not sure, what would be best for our tour.
Even after everything was set, I asekd for a little change, which was quickly realized.
Also the organisation at the Kilimanjaro was perfect: The airport transfer by Ali was very nice and we were picked up in time one day later by our tour guides for the start of the tour.
All in all it was an amazing experience, which was greatly supported by Bee Eater and Honey Guide Safaris!

Perfect Safari Tour! Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro 3N/4D
I had a great experience on each day.
We traveled with a driver/guide and a cook.
They were very experienced and friendly.
Thanks to Louis (Driver/Guide), we could see so many animals.
We found a rhino in Serengeti and many cars followed a rhino.
Louis decided to stop following the rhino so that we can find lions.
After that, we found many adult lions and their babies eating a buffalo.
We could see them very close so we could even feel the smell.
Thanks to Jimmy (Cook) , we enjoyed delicious food every day.
I will never forget that moment we had a breakfast in from of many zebras.
Highly recommended Company!!!!

A thoroughly memorable experience at Masai Mara
Our booking for seven people was very efficiently handled by Ms. Leonorah. From initial inquiry, she was very helpful and prompt in answering all queries. Everything ran smoothly from the pick up to the drop of.
The only negative point was that we were not informed in the confirmation that the $80.00 entrance fee for the Masai Mara national reserve was not included in the package.
The Spirit of the Masai Mara lodge is a truly fantastic place with very friendly and helpful staff. Mike was an excellent driver and passionate guide. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals and very good at spotting animals in the distance, in the bush and at following tracks. He was always willing to share his enthusiasm with us.
We had a great time. Thank you.
