big five plus more
Saw many animals, beautiful sunrise. Comfortable tents, nice group and professional guide. Roads are a bit rough at times and there are many tourists but it did not bother us.

Fantastic
We booked Beacon Safari through Safari Bookings for a 3 day safari to the Maasai Mara in Kenya. Beacon was very responsive and delivered on all promises. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw. The Maasai Mara is very beautiful and we saw all of the Big 5 within 24 hours of arriving in the park. We also saw a wealth of other animals and birds. All in all, we really enjoyed Kenya.

Amazing Uganda experience with Shoebill Safaris - thank you so much
We had a fantastic trip with Shoebill Safaris - Allen and Richard were professional and very helpful from the start putting together a bespoke trip for our group. They understood our needs well and were also flexible throughout the trip to make changes if we requested them. One of the highlights was a homestay, where we did all sorts of activities including preparing food, basket weaving and making mats. We met so many friendly people and even had a football match against a local team. We also did wildlife safaris, walks and cultural tours and rafting on the Nile.
Richard is incredibly knowledgable about birds and wildlife and also about Uganda in general. He has an open top safari bus which was really comfortable to travel in and we got great views when we were in the parks. We also had an excellent chef (Robert) and other guides (Laetitia and Joram) who helped to make it an unforgetable experience. Thanks to all of you and I thoroughly recommend Shoebill Safaris

Very responsive and helpfull, they recommended very good hotels and itinerary
Sylwia was very helpful, replied promptly to our queries. We enjoyed very much our safari - Sylwia proactively proposed to change the itinerary due to the migration not being present in serengeti (we would have appreciated though to have received this information at the time of booking). The hotels were very good, food excellent and overall we were very happy with our experience.

Everything perfect! Excellent price! Highly recommend
Everything was perfect, they helped with transfer from the airport, they were always available for every questions we got. All the staff is very nice and friendly, the manager went to pick up the money for the safari the day before, and we were afraid but it is normal. She helped with another trip we were planning, the driver was very careful and responsible and the owner was always available to all the changes we wanted to do. The place we stayed over the night was above all of our expectations, we really liked it and highly recommend it. All the staff there wanted to make our stay amazing and the camping is in renovations so it can get only better . I spent months comparing prices and offers and this one was without any doubt the best and the cheapest. Thank you Hello Tanzania for the great experience

Amazing safari, unforgettable experience, trustworthy and ambitious company and good value for money
Our private safari with Rhino Explorer was a very exciting and unforgettable experience. We planned the safari with Daniel, the manager of Rhino Explorer. All our questions were answered immediately. Daniel provided helpful information and assisted our preparations. He really cares for his customers. We (2 adults and one teenager) spent 8 days / 7 night in the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater area. Everything went to our satisfaction and worked as it was planned (pick up from the airport, hotel accomodations and the safari itself).
With David we had an exellent driver and guide. He has a comprehensive knowledge about fauna and flora and he has very sharp eyes. He always sighted the animals before us, although he was driving the car. We liked his humour and we had good and interesting conversations in the evenings. Also our chef was exellent. He provided us with delicious meals througout the safari.
The landscapes, animals, impressions and memories we will never forget. We saw the big five apart from many other animals. The most exciting highlight was thegreat migration of the wildebeest and zebras. You can get an impression of our experiences by watching the short movie of our son (https://youtu.be/cqBxKS4XWPk).

Communication and service were top notch!
I had a group of 23 traveling to Africa that I was planning a vacation for! Before talking to Ben I really didn't know where in Africa I even wanted to go. Ben gave me lots of ideas to research. He spent many hours on the phone with me going back and forth with my thoughts and ideas and his suggestions, The thing with Ben is he has been to all the places, the parks and the tents or hotels so he knew what he was talking about and not just a salesman who wanted my money. I had some ideas that I wanted to run with and Ben was very accommodating to my ideas along with some of his suggestions. We had to plan the trip 20months out because of the size of our group. It was a long wait but then so worth it. Ben and crew picked us up at the airport. We had a total of 4 jeeps and guides,David, Ali, Eli and Dennis. They were all amazing in their own way and felt like family til the end of the 2 weeks. All 4 of them were accommodating to our requests and very helpful. they were also very patient with us! A group of 23 who every day changed which jeep we were in and asking probably the same questions over and over they never got tired of us, never bitter and always smiling from sun up to sun down. Ben and his guides are top notch. You can see it when you are there and the other drivers in the parks weren't as animal smart as ours were or very good drivers. They are very safety orientated and very knowledgeable. We will forever talk about our trip to Africa with E-Trip. They were amazing and don't hesitate to book with them.

A truely professional company made more so by the expertise of tour guide Anthony
It was a good balance between game drive and other experiences. It is a beautiful country and the landscape is amaising from the Atlantic to the largest sand dunes in the world, to the wildlife to the wilderness. All was run very professionally and the accommodation was in the majority 5 star. Cannot streets that Anthony our guide made it a wonderful experience. It lived up to and went further than our expectations.

Excellent Safari on a Budget
Great if you are on a budget but still want to get the full safari experiance! Super service, very nice staff, delicious fresh cooked meals, action and a lot of wildlife. They try to show you every animal and choose the best spot, so you can take great pictures. Would definitely book again and recommend to my friends and family. Thank you very much William, Victor and Geoffrey
