Unforgettable First Africa Trip
We only start looking for local safari agencies one month before the trip, so insead of go through hundreds of agents on KATO, we only sent several inquires to the agents with high rating based on Tripadvisor, KATO etc. Robert responded quickly with detailed iternary and recommendations on accomodation and a reasonable price. After tens of emails for details confirmation, we confirmed the booking and with a 30% deposit.
Althought we were a bit worried about the arrangements since all communications were done through emails only, everything went smoothly once we arrived at Nairobi. Our driver Simon picked us at the airport and after settle the rest of the payment with Mary on the way, we started our safari right away. Simon was enthusiastic and most importantly very experienced. Not only did he guide us all kind of animals, birds spot during safari, he also guide us for photograph, i.e when and where to take the best shot. Though I only manage to fully utilize my camera on last day, still got tons of good pictures during safari.
The logde/camp were all great, food, services and accomodation were quite nice.
The only unexpected thing was the weather. Though this time should be the dry season, it kept raining everyday during our trip and sometime even the roads were flooded. Again, thanks Simon for his excellent driving skills which help us to pass the road before it was flooded. But it's a pity that we were unable to see any sunrise or sunset during the whole trip and also sometime need to rush on the road due to the rain. Maybe next time should choose the lodges/camps which are closer to the parks.
In general, would definitely recommend Explorer Kenya and Simon. Looking forward to seeing you again for the next Africa adventure.

Such an amazing experience!
The communication with the team before the safari was very good, they helped us with all our questions and were always very helpful.
When the actual experience started, we had the best luck when having James as our driver. He took us to all the dreamy places, always helped us when needed and assured that we were having the best experience. James is such a kind, patient, and smiley person that made us feel great all the time.

A very well organized tour. They picked us and dropped us at the hotel.
Communication was so well and they got me a cake organized to surprise my friend for the birthday.
The accommodation was neat, clean and cosy too.

Great Team and an Unforgettable Trip
Enchanting has been spectacular from the get-go. I have communicated with them extensively before the trip to customise the trip to our needs. Edna has been truly wonderful and accommodating to everything which was very reassuring.
Our guide, Freddie, was really great. He is very experienced and helpful. We learned so much and saw everything we have dreamt of seeing. The arrangement, the car, the food and everything was just superb.

Very supporting and reliable company for a safari-tour
We had booked a 7-days tour with Kaara Adventures in December. The company had organised and arranged our trip in a very speedy and efficient manner. Jose was a professional and friendly nature man, our communication with him was organic and pleasant. He arranged the tour very well and accurately, including some great activities and also the lodges he chosen was so well and super nice with beautiful interiors. We had an excellent and experienced guide Samuel on our side during the complete trip and also, he is an excellent safe driver. And according to his knowledge, I can say he's an expert who knows all about the diversity of his country's nature and animals and he helps to spot almost everything that’s possible during the trip. We truly enjoyed our tour with him very confidently and he makes sure we had a great holiday.
This travel company is so reliable and their staff members are also very helpful. Everyone who is going to plan for a trip to Uganda can visit and get help of this amazing travel company Kaara Adventures.

Fantastic safari in Tanzania
We had a wonderful safari in Mikumi, Mountain walk in Udzungwa and great safari in Ruaha. All the way from we started planning a safari in Africa, we got the best information from Tanzania Explorer. We got answers to all our questions, and a very good communication all the way. From the minute we sat foot in Africa, we were taken very good care of. Great to have a house to stay in, a couple of nights before we went off to the wilderness. We were four persons in our own car together with our own guide. And he was great. Gave us a lot of information on the way, good knowledge and a very calm an good driver.
We stayed in Vuma Hills tented camp close to Mikumi, Hondo Hondo lodge close to Udzungwa, and Ruaha River Lodge in Ruaha.
All places were great, clean, spaceous rooms/tents and very nice food. All places had full control of our food allergy ( glutenfree, eggfree) - impressing. After a week on the road we took a small plane to Zanzibar and beachlife.
We also had a contactperson in Zanzibar 24/7 if we wanted to go somewhere.
We all would love to go to Africa again with Tanzania Explorer .

Had a great experience, would def recommend
They were great. David was awesome. They were flexible in working with me and delivered an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. After climbing Kili, I decided last minute to stay for safari, a life-long dream of mine. That afternoon, I spoke with several places, trying to find a group to join the next day.
David added me to an existing safari, directed me to Arusha, which hotel to stay at, and it all came together perfectly. With no real planning. I did 3 days, one night in Serengeti and then Rhino Lodge at Ngorongoro crater. The Tented camp in the Serengeti was amazing. My tent had power, warm shower, separate shower/bathroom, great bed. It was immersed in the bush, I absolutely loved it. Rhino Lodge was totally different but great also. The back patio opened right up to the jungle. The community room was awesome.
We saw all Big 5. Male lion from 3-5 meters. A pride of 10+ females and a couple cubs dining on a Grant's Gazelle kill. A huge herd of elephants. Leopard in a tree all in Serengeti and rhino's in Ngorongoro. More lions. A bunch of giraffes entering Serengeti. Maybe we got lucky. But it was absolutely everything I had hoped for.

Very special Holiday in Uganda organized by Ecovic Tours and Travel
We very much enjoyed our special holiday in Uganda Organized by Ecovic Tours and Travel. There were very excellent programs of prepared by this tour operator like safaris by car, boat and on foot. In between we enjoyed the car trips throughout a beautiful country with a variety of landscapes and beautiful sceneries. Uganda people are very hospital and friendly. The organization by Ecovic Tours was very excellent and the guide told us a lot about the country, Sceneries, customs and history. The accommodation and meals were of good quality. We highly recommend Ecovic Tours to everyone!
