Above and Beyond
As Malawi residents, we have seen and done a lot of local exploring and already have a vast knowledge about the bush. We are therefore not the easiest to please with standard Malawi options. However, Mike and his team go above and beyond with their customer service, hospitality and knowledge of our beautiful country. We have always been so chuffed with our experiences booked through them and come away feeling like we have had a real break. Well done Mike to you and your great team.

Nelson was a fantastic tour guide, friendly, helpful, filled with information and just an credible
Apodiformes Adventures were great to work with. From the back and forth with Silas choosing lodging and changing dates they were so accommodating! We were greeted at the airport very warmly and journeyed on for 2 nights of Safari and 3 nights in Diani Beach. All of the places we stayed had great food and wonderful memories. I definitely recommend this company to others. Thanks again Silas and Nelson!

Great Tour, great Guide, Hakuna Matata
Me and my family did a 5 day Safari, from Nairobi to sweetwater lake, to lake Nakuru and to Masai mara. Our tour guide was Benson, and he was always trying to make us familiar with the country, the cultures, the history, the language and of course the animals. After we got to know each other there was a very enjoyable atmosphere which has been perfect to go on a safari. Benson always had to tell us a lot about the animals and the surrounding and attempted to make it possible to see every animal (which he managed to do).
I really enjoyed the experience and will definitively come back one day and I think Benson was a main reason we all fell in love with Kenia the way we did.
Some general facts and experiences were for example its always good to take some extra Schillings for Tips around with you and the Into Adventure Safari is very reliable. I'´´ have never felt insecure and we were always on time. Everybody we met and talked to spoke english very well, so you can coma along with anybody. If not, Benson was always a great translator. Do not forget your sunscreen and enjoy your trip!
Thank You Benson or how you would say in Swahili, Asante Sana!

I keep coming back to Kenya with the Africa Kenya Safaris, 4th trip coming up :)
I am a travel/wildlife photographer and on my last 3 trips to Kenya, I used the Africa Kenya Safaris for all my activities. I can highly recommend them! The level of attention to their client's needs is second to none. From the first e-mail contact to the departure drop off at the airport, everything went smoothly and efficiently, and all my (often not small or trivial) requests were met and fulfilled promptly and professionally. Joseph Mbotte was my driver/guide on all occasions and he was truly amazing - I am happy to now be able to consider him a friend! I should mention that my first trip with the Africa Kenya Safaris was a leisure family trip and it was handled just as impressively too. My wife and I enjoyed every moment of it. The staff of the Africa Kenya Safaris are just as good at organising luxurious, pampering events as they are with handling the adventurous side of your Kenyan trips :)

Unforgettable African adventure
For my third trip to Africa I chose the luangwa valley and Malawi. You will never forget the valley, even the light is special. Every game drive was awe inspiring. I met so many new friends, many I am still in contact with.Then, Mike drove me through Malawi to an awesome 3 day Mount Mulanje camping hike, Blantyre, Liwonde national park, then Cape Maclear. Boating, diving with the cichlids & exploring the exquisite lake coast. All with the eyes of a professional expert. I wish I could have seen Likoma island and the Northern parks. Next time. I learned so much about the people and culture of the section of Africa. I highly recommend the heart of Africa with Crafted Africa

Gorilla encounters exceeded expectations!
The highlight of my adventure in Uganda was gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. A storybook location made famous by the movie Gorillas-In-The-Mist. Rushaga Gorilla Lodge was right out of the movie set, with amazing views of the rolling hills in the Rift Valley home to the Mountain Gorilla. From the moment I arrived, I felt the mystical atmosphere of this idyllic location. Greeted by a chorus of local women performing a traditional welcoming ceremony, I knew this was going to be a very memorable adventure.
As the sun rose over the valley, mist appeared to shroud the nearby hillsides, as I prepared for my gorilla tracking experience. What an amazing start to a truly spectacular adventure. On my two, very different, tracking adventures, I experienced truly unique encounters. Silverbacks fighting over territory and mating rights and a silverback enjoying the pleasures of Babylon, along with the interactions and playful nature of gorilla families. Sign me up for another adventure.
While viewing gorillas was my primary reason for taking this trip, I thoroughly enjoyed the other highlights of white water rafting on the Nile, chimpanzees interaction on two separate occasions, game drives in two National Parks, with tree climbing lions and interaction with local community activities.
All of this was made possible by my enthusiastic and excellent guide, George. We spent 13 days together during which he opened my eyes to all that Uganda had to offer. DON’T let your preconceptions of Uganda dissuade you from experiencing all that this country and tour has to offer.
Just DO IT!

Amazing safari experience
This was our first time doing a safari and it was a truly remarkable experience. Communication with Jocky tours was really smooth, as they were very responsive and provided information for all the questions we had ahead of the trip. The schedule and the plan was followed as per what had been agreed and even when we had a mishap getting stuck in the mud during the safari, they offered to extend the duration of the safari for that day and add a complimentary visit to the Masai village. It is always difficult to book such a tour online, but there were no unpleasant surprises and overall I would say they are a reliable company.
Our guide was James and I would highly recommend him. He was very easy going, friendly, knowledgeable and tried to accommodate all our requests and to make sure that we get to see as much as possible and as many animals as possible. At the end of the tour I believe that everyone was really pleased with all the animals we got to see. And although he had to drive us through difficult road and weather conditions (both within the park and on the way there), he made us feel safe the whole time and that was very much appreciated.

Highly recommend! Very enjoyable experience.
I would highly recommend going with KT Safaris for your Kenyan safari experience!
Dicky our tour guide was super friendly, provided excellent communication, and was very helpful throughout our whole trip. We chose to go from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park, then from there to Tsavo East and then be dropped off in Diani. Even though it was a lot of driving we were able to see a lot of Kenya. I would say don't expect luxury with the transport or accommodation but we loved it and it's all part of the safari experience!
We were also very lucky to see so much wildlife. Dicky had a good understanding of where the animals were likely to be.
Overall we had a very enjoyable and memorable experience!

Wonderful experience
Here in Africa we experienced amazing adventure, we saw lot of animals, including the big five. We visited all the national parks so we could saw all the bio types that are here. We could recommend this trip to everyone who loves nature and animals. Really wonderful trip. Also I am on gluten free diet and there was no problem to provide it to me.
