Great organisation and amazing guide!
We went to Kenya in a family trip (6 people) and had the most amazing time during our Safari with Jocky Tours & Safaris! We went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli, for 5 days, and every moment was great.
Jimmy was our guide and we would choose him again if we return, he is incredibly nice, always available for any question, patient and has great knowledge on the animals and the wildlife. We got to see lots of animals and even a hunting!
The accommodations were nice, we loved Enkorok (Masai Mara) and AA Lodge (Amboseli). Both had great rooms and good food. Lanet Matfam (Nakuru) was not out favorite since it was a bit noisy and the rooms weren't great.
Just one thing that didn't go well - we had asked for a 4x4 and got the normal van since this request was made via whatsapp and they forgot to arrange it - make sure you email every important matter. Despite that, overall the organisation was incredible, the price for quality is totally worth it and we recommend this company!

Very easy to deal with, friendly guides, amazing trip
We found Peafowl through safari bookings, they were responsive, friendly, flexible and found us a package that suited us. The guides were on time, knowledgeable and lovely. We managed to see so many amazing animals, really enjoyed our trip.
Professional and very reliable
Makario staff are very wonderful people and made my tour experience worthwhile. Communication on all matters was on point - this included pickup and drop off time from the hotel, they arranged for packed lunches and breakfasts directly with the hotel and just informed me of what to expect, the names of the drivers and numbers were promptly shared and so many other nitty gritties that made the tour easy.
I feel I got more value for money than what I actually paid for and Mwaka came to meet our team to have a one on one chat on the last day to find out about our tours and if there was anything more they could do. This was very personalized and we felt valued.
The tours were excellent (Volcanoes National Park for Gorilla trekking, Kigali City Tour (Kigali Genocide Memorial, Moshions and House of Tayo Fashion, Choose Kigali (Terra Carta House) and Rwanda Art Museum), Akagera National Park and Azizi Life. The tour drivers Joe and Isaac were very conversant with the areas we went to and had loads of information about the areas and tours which they shared with us. It was like the tours started in the car before we even got to the destinations. It was a reall eye opener. Joe and Isaac are very friendly and kind, true ambassadors of Makarios and they deserve a pat on their backs.
Thank you for making it an experience of a lifetime.
Alex was always polite, happy and ready to help with any questions
Our one day safari in Ruaha NP was brilliant but far too short
Our guides were very professional and efficient
My dietary requirements were well met

Unforgettable experience
Lion King Adventures created an exceptional 7-day safari for us. James, Rose, and the entire team were very professional and responsive at all stages of the organization. Our trip took us from Lake Manyara to the great migration at the Mara River, through Ngorogoro, and on to Tarangire. Our young guide, Enock, was unfailingly energetic and professional, always alert, smiling and enthusiastic. The welcome in the lodges was particularly warm. A very nice trip. We recommend them.

The ultimate in professional travel services
The team at Experience Africa were incredible and ensured that our trip lived up to expectations. We decided on our route but the team provided us with accommodation recommendations, travel tips and secured accommodation for our group. The team were always on hand to guide us and answer all questions ahead of and during the trip.
Just a great experience for us as a group.
We have already engaged Experience Africa for our next trip, a real indication of amazing service we received from the team!

Highly Recommend!
We decided to spend our wedding anniversary in Kenya last minute and Joel was super accommodating. We decided to go on 6 days/5 nights safari. He addressed all the queries, was always available, the communication was smooth and timely. He was attentive to all the details shared and arranged the best rooms and special treatments for my husband's birthday and our anniversary. So he went far and beyond to support us.
Joe was our guide and he was amazing. Super professional. he managed to find the best spots for us to watch the animals. We did our Big 5, thanks to him. He showed us great places, was always caring and he has very nice music in his car.
We stayed in 4 different lodges during our safari. All of them were wow. The Cliff at Nakuru is the top. We recommend staying there at least for a night to enjoy the views. We stayed at KIBO in Amboseli, which is also great and has a Kilimanjaro view. Ilkiliani (Masai Mara) - highly recommended, it's a boutique lodge (they have only 12 lodges) with great food, and great service and they recently renovated their premium lodges, which are very comfy and stylish.
We had a great time and the company is trusted.

Great tour with amazing wildlife and very professional guide / driver
Very good experience with African Big Cats Safaris. Very professional, good and up to date communication.
Our guide for 3 days (Sandrine) was very reliable and knew everything about the parcs, animals. Very flexible.
The accomodation in the parc was superb as well as the food! The prices for safaris in Tanzania are relatively high, African Big Cats Safaris is no exception in that. Anyway, altogether a beautiful experience!

A great tour organized by friendly helpful knowledgeable people
I have worked and lived in Tanzania for some years, but wanted to finally get to Gombe National Park to see the chimpanzees made famous by the research of Jane Goodall. Safari bookings linked me to Colours Africa Tours and I am very thankful they did. The agent here in Arusha was helpful and flexible as I had to change my plans a couple of times. When I arrived in Kigoma he was there. He himself went to Kigoma to be with me the whole time and make sure I had a good experience. I was travelling alone and am 84 years old, and it was great to have his help. In fact, the chimpanzees don't stay near the finished trails in the park, and to get the full experience one has to get off the trails and into the bush, and for me, the rough terrain was difficult and he helped and I was able to stay up with other tourists and get the full wildlife experience. Colours Afirca Tours also brought along a very good chef, and the lodging tent was comfortable too. I recommend them without reservation.
