Great time and Adventurous trip
Starvel Safaris helped us have the most amazing Kenyan safari experience! Starting from the pickup at the airport all the way to helping out with excess luggage and making sure that we had a fantastic time, Esther and her team were with us from start to finish. David, our guide, was very experienced and told us a great deal about all the animals that we saw in Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and of course Maasai Mara.
We were put up at great places either within or a short distance away from the gates of each national park that we visited. Every little bit of our catering needs were taken care of and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. David is a machine! He drove for 6 hours straight and then with just a short gap made sure that we went on a game drive. He was funny, kind and considerate and it was an excellent experience overall for all of us. Highly recommended.

Excellent & Reliable
Our group of 16 people was scheduled to go to Kenya in March, 2020 which got cancelled due to the travel restrictions in place due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Our booking was a very complex one with people coming from multiple destinations on separate dates to meet up in Nairobi before heading to Olare Mara. The team at Chalo Africa never said no to any of our requests and many changes we requested during the course of the booking. They made sure everything was covered. And i knew they were good because i had gone on a trip to Tanzania which was planned by them in 2016.
I am sure there are a few other operators who can provide such service. But the way they kept in touch after the cancellation and worked out various options for us to either get a refund or credit is a statement of their character in such tough times and is truly commendable. My family and friends will definitely make this trip and Chalo Africa will be our agency of choice to plan the trip.
I would like to thank the all star team of Sangeeta, Smita and Malavika for everything and would like to wish them all the best.
Best Wishes

AMAZING- MUST DO EXPERIENCE!!
We were here for a 4 days trip in January with a tour package from Frena Adventures. Having first stop at Bwindi and visited 2 or 3 families of gorillas, what an experience was that on day. The guides are amazing and you do not travel for very long as there are trackers out before you go to find the family. The rule is to stay 7 metres away from the gorillas but they come up to you. The pictures you can get of these creatures are amazing and the money you spend on seeing these creatures goes towards helping them stay alive in their natural area for as long as possible. We only spend an hour with the gorillas but It really is a must do expereince and one I would like do it again!

Bigodi Wetlands - Fabulous Birding Location
The real reason for wishlisting this location was the chimp tracking at Kibale, I had a wonderful morning at the Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary, thanks a lot to our guide Nelson who was very knowledgeable.
The walk takes you through different terrain; swamps and farmland, on mostly flat ground. The varied habitat increases the chances that you will encounter a wide diversity of several speceis. Show stealers were the turacos.
For Advice, Definitely go in the morning. That's when the birds are out and about. In the afternoon it gets quite hot and there is very little shade.

5***** Safari with ATAT!!
We've just arrived from the most amazing holidays ever: our first safari!!!
We prepared our game drives and accommodation with Arlanda Tours And Travel that went far and beyond to meet our expectations. In well conditioned car and with our great guide - thank you Najib! - we were able to see the big five and so many more! Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was overwhelming, Buhoma Kanungu and Kisoro left us in awe and the Kabale Uganda ... well... there are no words to express how excited we were! Food was good very good from Arlanda and the lodges we they arranged were fine. Having a glass of champagne on the middle of the park, while the hyenas were walking around and a mongoose just passed under our room was an unforgettable experience!!
In the end, we left Uganda with just one thought in our minds: to return ASAP!

Sensational destination at Uganda-Lake Bunyonyi
In South Western Uganda, Lake Bunyonyi is one of the best few serene attractions as far as tranquillity and peacefulness goes. We found that they had some very nice affordable accommodation just at a short distance from the lodge, provided by our tour company Freka. We all especially loved the boat trip and would love to do it again and again. I daresay it is quite a long ride from Kampala though and it takes some couple of hours. I could not complain about anything. It’s all loved every thing there.

Rwenzori Mountains are Great to visit
During our 10 days tour with Ngoni Safaris , we visit to Rwenzori Mountains and it was really a great time to be there with my great friends. It was the best thing i have even got in all my life. Rwenzori Mountains are the most highlight of our trip. Knowledgeable, professional, kind and generous guides. The meals were tasty and delicious, and the drinks were very cheap and in plenty. by the time we left Kasese, i was relaxed and rejuvenated for the rest of the year.
