Even more incredible than my best expectations
I booked a 10 day Safari in Kenya with BCL Bluerange and I am 100% sure I did the best choice.
I made the reservation in June for me and my family of 4 (kids with 4 and 7 years old) to go in November. The communication was easy, via whatsapp and the 30% deposit was easy and enough so all the arrangements could be done.
I kept communicating with Willis- the BCL manager, until the day we went to Nairobi.
At Nairobi we were promptly received by our guide: John who drove us to the hotel. Next day we started our safari way to Samburu. Here I have to state not only in Samburu but all the accomodations booked by BCL along the ten days were incredible. Lodges in the middle of the savannah, (some of them we even could see the big animals) with picturesque views, sympathetic staff, swimming pool on most of them and nice rooms. We were two days and a half in Samburu and the last night there, it rained like it didn't in years, so everyway out was flooded. We noticed at that time the expertise of John's driving as we made the park out over rough terrain and mud. We then were in Lake Nakuru, Masai mara, Lake Naivasha and finally Amboseli. Last day we went back to Nairobi. We could witness the greatness of Kenya flora and fauna, the big 5 and the amazing landscapes, namely the different habitats and the magnificent Kilimanjaro. Along the 10 day Safari we had the unique experience of visiting a Masai village and to go on a boat ride in Naivasha lake. I have to state from all that went good in this safari, the top of the cake was John. Apart from of the already stated driving skills, John was always very friendly, helping us in all matters. We became great friends and I will recommend him and BCL to everyone who wants to have an adventure of their lifes in Kenya.

Frank and team were everything we hoped a tour operator would be: caring, responsive, honest
GoldenRwanda were excellent tour operators, as good as we hoped for. Frank and Gad were extremely responsive and communicative by email, always got a response within a few hours. They were able to adapt quickly to our changing plans both before and during the trip. The trip was exactly as promised, no "bait and switch", and given the expense of individual permits, was good value for money. The residences were stellar and top quality even in remote areas, clean and with great hospitality, Our driver Jean-Claude became our friend and family. The cars were very comfortable and we felt completely safe and secure even on poor roads. Our tour covered Kigali and 3 NPs in 3 different corners of Rwanda, Nyungwe, Volcanoes, and Akagera. The encounters with gorillas and chimpanzees we shall remember for the rest of our lives. Our experiences in Kigali, including the genocide memorial, were unforgettable, and Rwanda is a moving tribute to the human spirit and its ability to move beyond unimaginable horror to recover humanity, humility and hospitality. Rwanda is one of the most beautiful places in the world, both visually and spiritually, and noone should miss the opportunity to visit if they can. And for those who do visit, GoldenRwanda will be among the best possible hosts and guides for the trip.

Wonderful experience
I recently went on a 5-day-safari tour with Serengeti African Tours and it was an amazing experience. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro national parks, and each one was unique and unforgettable. Camping in tents in Ngorongoro National Park and in the center of the Serengeti was a highlight of the trip. We saw the big five, walking and swimming hippos, cheetahs, ostriches, hyenas, giraffes, zebras and many lion and elephant babies:). The driver was very helpful and knowledgeable with a great respect for nature and animals, and the organizer, Safina, was very friendly and made the experience stress-free. Overall, I highly recommend booking with Serengeti African Tours for a great safari trip.

Helpful, A lot of knowledge about the African countries. Professional. Kind.
African Travels helped us create our dream journey travelling through Namibie, Botswana and Zimbabwe/ Victoria Falls. All the necessary documents, guidelines and information was provided in advance to take with us. We also had an app with all the information provided by African Travels.
They selected some beautiful camping sites en lodges for us and helped us put togehter the route through Namibia and Botswana. Also booked some excursions in advance for us.
When we needed help, which we did at one point, they were there for us immediately to help us out. I would highly recommend to take a GPS-phone with you when you travel through Africa by car.
Very quick response before and during our trip. African Travels works with local agents in the different countries.
We would recommend African Travels for your future journey to Africa.
We had some troubles with the car and African Travels backed us up.

Unforgettable experience
This is the third time we have gone on safari with Matata (in 15 years) and everything is always perfect.
Matata does everything to satisfy its customers and adapts to everyone.
We returned delighted from 8 days of Safari (Mikumi - Ruaha - Saadani): we had the price of a mixed lodge and bandas formula in autonomy with an outstanding cook.
Matata is a former ranger and therefore knows the wildlife and the terrain perfectly. Kindness, flexibility, availability and very good value for money.

I could not imagine a better experience
Ignorant about South Africa, but with a deep memory about the apartheid and Mandela, I was looking for a guide to discover the related sites of this history and to discover more about the region. The "Best of Gauteng experience" proposal over 6 days was fully matching my expectations and has been such a great experience ! This is also thanks to Thabang himself, my private tour guide : he is a nice, highly skilled, and well educated guy and he could answer all my questions, transparentlly. I highly recommand you to book the 6-days tour ! And I wish Thabang all the best ! He deserves it !

Amazing adventure in Tanzania’s company Suricata.
Hi. I'm Kim, I went for 4 nights and 5 days.
I thought it was a very big adventure, not a trip. Suricata was very fast and detailed even before the reservation.
The round-trip pick-up service to Kilimanjaro Airport was excellent.
Our guide was Mandela, he was very happy that he has very very very special ability for game drive.
This course was a camping course, and I traveled all over the Big Four National Park, and I could see so many animals.
In particular, we were lucky to see rhinos in the Serengeti.
And our chef Musa’s food was so delicious that I felt like I was going to gain weight.
If you are going to Tanzania game drive,
I would recommend Suricata safaris.

Kind and efficient
Our tour operator was timely and efficient in getting us to our destination. He was very kind in accommodating for our needs along the way. The bus itself was spacious and comfortable for the long journey. I would highly recommend this service as it’s a great value for long distance transportation.
