Professional, courteous and friendly service.
We went on two safaris, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe and Chobe National Park in Botswana and a river cruise on the Zambezi among other short trips. All three were worth it with experienced drivers/ captain who knew the terrain well and we got to see four of the big five and so many other animals in their natural habitat.
The safari experience was better than what we had expected, on time and in good vehicles.
The service from Touch the Moon Tours was even better than expected. The team were very friendly and went out of the way to make our tour truly memorable.

Excellent and memorable private safari experience
It was my wife's and my first ever safari experience and Zippy and her team made it so easy to plan a safari.
We always got a quick email response for every query. Zippy and her team organized the 4-day Mara safari for me and my wife very well.
Airport pick-up, flights to and from safari destinations, camps, hotel bookings and above all actual safari game drives were all perfectly organized.
While returning from the safari, I forgot my backpack at an airport in Nairobi. Zippy went all the way back to pick up my bag and return it to me at my hotel and that too in heavy Nairobi evening traffic. I highly appreciate her helpful gesture.
Our safari guide Symon was very experienced and passionate about his job. He tirelessly answered our numerous doubts and questions.
He made it an informative and very exciting experience. We would love to visit other parks in Kenya again with him.

Masai Mara in July 2018
All Seasons came recommended from a good friend who had used them to plan a safari for his family. We just returned from four nights in Masia Mara and enjoyed every moment of it. We stayed at the Entim camps (two nights in each) and would highly recommend them. If you are the Lodge type these are not for you. The camps are very comfortable, come with a very high level of service (excellent food) and are situated on the banks of the Mara river. And, if you time your visit well, you can view the migration from a lounge chair. Our guide (Ben) was knowledgeable, an excellent spotter, and flexible. We drove to the Masia Mara and flew back on the return; I would recommend skipping the drive and flying both ways. The drive is long, tedious, and bumpy. If there is one area where All Seasons could improve on, it is with its follow through communication. While the trip came together smoothly, I felt that I had to send in more reminders than I should have. It is quite possible that the problem was in the spotty internet access that seemed to plague them. Fortunately, Meshack stepped in and more than compensated for the occasional communication hiccup. If you are looking for a customized safari experience in east africa, I would strongly recommend giving All Seasons a good look. I have already booked two additional safaris with them (one in November 2018 and another in February 2019) and look forward to returning.

An amazing safari with Nyasi Adventure!
We would highly recommend Nyasi Adventure for any Tanzanian safari. We booked a 3-day/2-night safari to Selous Game Reserve and it was absolutely amazing. Robert and Gaston were with us the whole time on our private safari. They picked us up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam and drove us to Selous where we stayed at the Kinga Lodge. The Kinga Lodge is an amazing place with wonderful rooms, staff, food, and views. Even before our trip we knew we made the right decision to go with Nyasi Adventure based on their responsiveness and thoroughness. We were able to customize our safari how we wanted and Robert was fantastic with providing options. We were provided a full itinerary for all three days of our safari before we left for Tanzania so there were no surprises; from what time we would get started each day, to what we would be doing, to what meals would be provided. Once we started our safari we were not disappointed. On our first day Kinga Lodge provided an evening boat safari where we saw hippos, baboons, crocodiles, and plenty of birds. The next day Robert and Gaston then took us on a day-long safari in Selous Game Reserve where we saw lions, an elephant, giraffes, impalas, kudu, wildebeest, hippos, zebras, and many more. Gaston did an amazing job driving and talking to the other guides to find out where animals had been spotted that day to make sure we saw as much as possible. He is an incredible guide with a wealth of knowledge about the local flora and fauna, and he got us closer than I ever thought I would be to some of these animals. On the last day we took a wonderfully educational and entertaining walking safari with some local guides before Robert and Gaston drove us back to Dar es Salaam. We could not be happier with our safari and our decision to book with Nyasi Adventure. If you're going to do a safari in Tanzania, book it with Nyasi Adventure.

A very reliable tour operator with a great price!
A travel manager for specialized tours in Canada. I have headed many tours to different countries but this tour operator deserves a 5 plus!
3 countries in 12 days - Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana .
Touch the Moon is one of the finest operators I have dealt with.
- Good hotels, good vehicles Had a representative from their office for the entire trip:)
Personalized service from their director Isabella Mukashuri and all the staff was perfect!
Constant touch with TTM at any time made the tour so comfortable and stress free:)
Their suggestion of hotels, Safari Lodges, and arrangements for sightseeing was wonderful - They made sure that it was not just a sightseeing tour but a true experience of their culture too.
Although the agency is a small operation,their service was par excellence and would definitely recommend TTM!

You"ll come home with the biggest smile and long life memories that you will not stop talking about!
Karumuna Safaris showed my partner and I a life time experience that will be in our memories and hearts for ever. Can’t fault our 13 day safari tour as we saw the Big 5!! Elephants galore, giraffes, zebra's, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, primates Gorilla’s & Chimpanzee and all the extra wild life that Uganda houses. The breath taking country side and the amazing sights, with all the National Parks as well as the local community. We did extra as we wanted all the highlights and wonders of Uganda from seeing the Shoe Bill Stork to White Water Rafting on the Nile in Jinja and so much more. Wow Wow Wow!!!
Karumuna Safaris top priority is you the client, they are not happy unless you are happy and they make sure you are happy!! Which was easy for them as all the staff from Karumuna Safaris, Richard the principal, Jonah, Onan and Mosses, are very friendly and helpful with any queries just like the rest of Ugandans. They make sure you see and do what you have requested and their driver/guide (Mosses) has an amazing insight and has friends at every stop which made our Safari even more enjoyable. This Safari was more than we could ever imagined.
A Big Thank You to Karumuna Safaris and we look forward to our next visit :-)

Excellent local company to do your East Africa Safari
Richard put together a great 9 day trip around Uganda which has the most stunning scenery and wildlife. Steven our driver & guide made sure we were safe and well looked after. We wanted to choose a local company to ensure all our money paid was going to Uganda, rather than a large foreign company & travel agent commission. We weren’t disappointed and can highly recommend Gatatu Safaris.
