Bogdan was the backbone of our trip! Incredibly knowledgable, fun and a true delight!
The tour through Swaziland to Durban was a bore. Otherwise, the package was well worth every cent spent. Memories of a lifetime!

Hakuna Matata! Savannah Explorers will take care of you during your Safari! <3
It was our first time in Tanzania and after an internet search we discovered Savannah Explorers and we chose them for our 3- days Safari in Tanzania.
We visited Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro with Riccardo, our guide.
Riccardo is a skilled guide, he speaks italians and english and he's great at finding animals: we saw alle the Big FIVE!
Lodges and tented camps were over our expetations, especially we would recommend the Serengeti Tanzania Bush Camps, a tented camp in the middle of Serengeti where you can admire a suggestive landscape.
It was a terrific experience and we really loved it!

.::Best tour company to choose for your holiday::..
I booked a 3days safari with Bencia Africa adventure and safaris to witness wildebeest migration in Masai Mara , this was my first time in Kenya, The company is so organized and punctual to ensure their client fell at home when they arrive, the time i was arriving at the Airport 6am, the safari tour van was waiting for me and i received a warm welcome. more so i cant forget to recommend about the safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara, peter was our well professional guide and he could explain everything we asked him, had a lot of background information about the animals, birds good interaction with people in addition he made us smile every moment. Food which was prepared by chef John was delicious. The accommodation was of full comfortability and i truly thank Alfred for ensuring our safety. I would like to Thank the Bencia company for offering us good tour service, thank you

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - THEY WILL ROB YOU!
Do not use Bella Africa Safaris as Bella basically took our money and left us hanging high and dry.
We found this out the day after our arrival in Kigali when it turned out that nothing was paid for: no car, no permits, no activities. We did have phone calls with Bella herself who told us that she had financial problems, but all would be solved within 3 days and we just needed to advance $2000 for the first 3 days so that she could sort herself out. She would meet us in person back in Kigali, apologize and ensure us we will have a fantastic trip. Needless to say that never happened. We had no choice but to pay for everything all over again it was that or taking the next flight home. We were lucky to still be able to get gorilla permits and I wont mention the financial impact of having to pay for this trip of a life time twice.
We sent the deposit back in February to ensure all permits would be bought well in advance but nothing was done. So this was not a last minute problem with cash flow as one of the versions of the story we were provided with
I repeat DO NOT use this company they are a sham. Rwanda is amazing but our trip was spoilt by Bella’s dishonesty and greed. We went to Rwanda and have been back for 3 weeks and the last thing we heard she was going to ask for a loan and reimburse us every penny. This was 2 weeks ago. We will never see our money again don't waste yours as well, find another company.

Worry-free travel experience from beginning to end!
The trip was excellent! We didn't have to worry about a thing once we arrived in Nairobi. The only problems arose after eTrip Africa had delivered us to our final hotel, and the problems were with the hotel! eTrip Africa provided us with a congenial, knowledgeable, safe driver who was endlessly patient and accommodating. The member of our party who chose eTrip Africa as the tour organizer let eTrip Africa choose our accommodations, and although the second place was not exactly to our aesthetic taste, they were all actually very nice places to stay, very comfortable, with great staff, excellent food, and stunning settings.
As far as the "safari" parts of our trip, well we sure lucked out, seeing many animals that are exotic to North Americans. The two camps that eTrip Africa arranged for us had excellent sites for viewing African savanna wildlife, and we saw soooo many! However, one couldn't blame eTrip Africa if we hadn't have seen so many. We ran across another tour group that had gone four days in the Maasai Mara Reserve without seeing a wildebeest! Wildlife is wild, and they move around. A lot.
The person who arranged our trip had used eTrip Africa for a previous safari, and chose them again for this trip because it had worked out so well. He is planning to go to Kenya again, and is planning to use eTrip Africa again for the tour.

An awesome and authentic experience!
In honor of our 25th anniversary, my wife and I chose to celebrate with a yoga safari. Days were structured with morning and evening game drives, sandwiched around a daily yoga flow with some of the most tranquil backdrops you could imagine. Wipe away any misconceptions of roughing it in the bush. "Glamping" wouldn't do justice to the level of accommodations. Our "camp" was on par with elite hotels I have had the luxury of staying in. Shaun and his staff (Lindsay as our personal chef and Patrick as our safari tracker) were exceptional, always demonstrating professionalism and courtesy. Food was in abundance, with Lindsay serving multi-course locally inspired dishes. The detached bungalows were fully appointed.
As for the animals, the big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo) were checked off our list within the first 2 days!. We not only saw them (multiple times over!!), but witnessed them authentically. A lioness and her cubs feasting on their earlier kill. Hyenas taunting these lions in an effort to steal their meal. Watching the courtship between a male and female rhino. A herd of buffalo along with a rhino and elephant (3 of the big 5!!) at a watering hole just after sunset. A leopard protecting its meal, perched high on a rock cropping. Wildlife was in abundance beyond the big 5. Kudu, impala, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles...the list was endless. Shaun and Patrick's ability to rely upon their expert tracking skills and instincts led us not only to sighting of game, but to an authentic display of the wild.
It is this authenticity that was priceless. Sightings were never with the assistance of aerial spotters or from feedback of team members on the ground. Every encounter was driven by Shaun and Patrick's accumulated knowledge of tracking wild game in the bush. Finding a fresh track in the dirt or making note of vultures circling in the distance. For all of these reasons, and so many more, I would recommend Moriti Private Safaris!

Very good Experience!
It was a very good safari. Mr. James was very responsive, always provided quick feedback at the stage of booking and he came personally to pick us from the airport. Safari was organized very well and made some good friends. Our driver was great - special thanks...

Amazing experience!
A world class service, thanks to Caroline’s restless effort and dedication!
The attentiveness, responsiveness and passion of Caroline has brought us an excellent gorilla trekking experience. Moreover, the whole trip was planned thoroughly and we were well taken care of by Robert, who is a great guide with good knowledge and experience.
We have no doubt to recommend Gorilla Link Tours to our friends who is considering to visit Uganda.
