Evans was extremely helpful and knew exactly how to make the trip great!
My time with Lenchada safaris exceeded my expectations! We saw all of the animals and got extremely close. We needed to get a covid test and they arranged everything as well as arranged airport drop off for us! The whole trip ran extremely smooth and was a fantastic experience!

Awesomeness!!! Safari56 knows how to make each trip eventful and fun for everyone
I have used Safari56 numerous times for other hikes. The most recent one to Lushoto.
Pre travel they are great at keeping you updated logistics as well as things you might need for the trip. Building up the anticipation.
I especially enjoy that they know how to keep time and are specific about picking up points and security.
The Lushoto trip was a great example of good organisation and mobilization.
Safari56 true talent lies in turning groups of random strangers into friends. Fun events that keeps everyone engaged and the hikes are done at each persona pace so you don't feel pressured to keep up.

Amazing!!
My first African safari experience was magical and its all thanks to Tazama African Holidays. Our tour guide was Andrew, and i honestly had the time of my life. Andrew went above and beyond for us. Always reassuring our safety, very knowledgeable, very attentive to details and friendly. Everything went so smoothly, from the arrangements, to booking, to checking in to our lodges just everything in general. The most important thing for me is memories, and this experience is a memory that i will NEVER forget!

Kindly arrange everything
The guide John did the all the great jobs, including accommodation and safari tour, get everything on the right track.
Such an tour is a cost-efficient option, it cannot ask more...
The last one is impressed that the Axis Safari has arranged last picked up in Nairobi. It's a good management and coordination.

Careful
We've had wonderful time with Suricata. Even tough we had problems on arrival and departure we felt safe and sound thanks to the careful attitude of our guide and driver. We were driven with comfortable land cruiser with fridge on board. The cold einr for the dinner was always there.
We've had a chance to get to know how life in Africa looks like and were delighted with the stories of the guide.
Excellent food made at the spot has also been provided.

Amazing kilimanjaro climbing with colours
The amazing Mount Kilimanjaro Trek with Colours Africa Tours. They advised us to take 7 days of Machame trek because of a higher success rate and we were all successful in reaching the summit. Our guides, cooks, and porters were kind, caring and interesting people to do the mountain together with. The climb was challenging but with the support of the expert crew, great equipment (tents, sleeping bags, chemical toilet…), delicious hot meals and constant care and motivation we did it. There were many remarkable individual moments on the climb however nothing beats sunrise at the summit. It was amazing! Unforgettable! I highly recommend Colours Africa Tours and Safaris!

They know their business, are reliable, responsive to your needs, respond fast and are trustworthy
Zambia is a beautiful country and its people are nice and pleasant. MJ organized an African dream for me in Lower Zambezi after first discussing all options with me. I chose the expensive option which was Kayla Camp and luxurious Anabezi Camp, going up by road (including three and a half hours of pure bliss in the savannah on bumpy dirt road ) and returning by taking the boat down the Zambezi then by road. Pricey but what a memorable stay! Anabezi is inside the national park so you can go game driving anytime you wish. The animals visit the camp and you can sip a drink while watching wild life from your tent or the common areas. MJ organized a beautiful stay in Kafue National Park (not as pricey as Annabezi which was perfectly OK for me but quite nice) and they were on call ready to assist and facilitate my stay while I was doing a few things on my own while visiting Zambia. I highly recommend them as your travel operator in Zambia. I particularly recommend Patience who is simply a star in the business. She made my stay in Zambia extra-special. Don't fret: go to Zambia and organize your stay with Memorable Journeys! You will be so happy you did.

Gosheni far exceeded my expectations!! The Safari Experts indeed!
My son surprised me with a 5-day Safari in Tanzania visiting Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara - & I couldn’t have been happier with the service provided by Gosheni and our Safari guide, William.
William was our biggest advocate for maximizing our time that we had on Safari - as reluctant as we were to wake up early every morning - we were elated to have seen the cheetah, lions, zebra, wildebeest and gazelles early in the morning. Undoubtedly, we accredit seeing the “Big 5” and so many more species of animal, to William and his knowledge of the landscape as well as habits of the animals.
Additionally, we were served hot meals in the bush for an authentic feel, provided a top of the line vehicle for viewing animals and were granted more than necessary opportunities to take as many pictures and selfies as we possibly could.
After all, it’s not only the company you choose that is most important factor - it’s your Safari guide that you’re going to be spending the next ‘x’ amount of days with. William was very communicative, understanding and ready to impart his wisdom at every opportunity. Thank you!
Overall, we were given peace of mind knowing that our accommodations were guaranteed, every safety measure was being taken to protect our well-being, and we received much more in services and William’s cordial hospitality than we paid for - 5+ stars!
P.S.: To all of the anxious travelers (myself included), it’s understandable to be concerned with the dynamic circumstances that we face when booking holiday vacations in this current time, HOWEVER, with Gosheni + William, we did not have to worry about how we were going to secure Covid-19 tests, whether or not we could be accommodated for any whim, and whether or not we would see any animals - the staff at Gosheni are truly the experts that you should rely on!

Perfect trip, wonderful company, incredible country
If you're planning a trip to Uganda Gorilla Bookings is the way to go. They can take you on a one or two night chimp or gorilla trek, or plan a whole 10 day visit like they did for me. I knew little about Uganda and was going by myself. Justus is incredibly efficient and was patient as my plans kept changing. He responds to emails very promptly which gave me a sense of security before the trip that I was in good hands. I told him as long as I saw some gorillas and chimps, I didn't care what I did. He planned an incredible itinerary which include games drives (lions in trees!), boats rides where I saw hippos and more exotic birds than I can count, and provided options for community visits, etc. It was perfect. I stayed in wonderful small lodges with gorgeous views, incredible people and world class food. Allan, my guide, was wonderful. He was incredibly knowledgeable, positive and kind. He provided real insight into the communities and culture of Uganda and had a whole network of people to call on when something came up. (Park Ranger Jane to find the lions in trees; a quick results COVID test clinic that I wanted to visit 2 days before I arrived back to Entebbe for my return flight so that I wouldn't stress about time on the last day.) I don't like to repeat countries because there are so many more places I want to visit, but on the drive back to Entebbe I was already creating an itinerary for my return visit to Uganda. There is so much to do and see, a 10 day visit is not nearly enough. It's the most beautiful country I've seen. And some of the lodges were so great and the people there so nice that I want to return to spend more time in each. Next time I might fly into or out of Kigali, which I hear is also wonderful (and would enable me to see another country). Gorilla Bookings can arrange that too.
