The most professional guide and the best driver, thank you for the great time, Onesmus!
Gofan is the first operator who get back to us and most responsive destination management company that has replied to our inquiry, very patient, clear communication, flexible and thoughtful.
After arriving at Nairobi, our guide+driver Onesmus came to the hotel on time and very helpful. We had the best time ever in life to visit Masai Mara national reserve. Onesmus is an extremely experienced guide, an animal expert, and the best driver. We're very touched by how he is offering support to everyone all the time, and he is warm to all the people we met. By his expertise, we was lucky to see all the wild animals and amazing landscapes.
This is a great journey and hugely appreciated Onesmus for he's knowledge and made us had an incredible time in Kenya. We're definitely coming back and will stay longer to discover more places.
We're very lucky to choose Gofan and met Onesmus!
Best Regards,
Mai

Perfect tailor made trip within budget
Perfect tailor made trip within budget
Our trip perfectly matched our expectations. Marieke and team are good listeners and being very experienced, while living in SA, she could translate our wishes in a very nice tailor made journey. Everything was perfectly organised, rechecked and double checked. She knows most accommodations herself. Because she lives in SA it is very easy to contact her by Whats-app, mail of phone. Next to that African Travels provides a very handy - offline - app with all necessary data in it. Marieke contacted us regularly to check if everything was still OK, and it was !!

Excellent experience
I highly recommend Sunup Adventures. Easy, convenient communication via whatsapp in planning the trip, with no hard sell. Once in Kenya our guide Josh was excellent. Very knowledgeable not just about the wildlife but also able to answer any questions about Kenyan history and society. The roads were pretty treacherous at times after heavy rains so his accomplished driving skills were also needed. We were lucky to see every animal possible in our 3 day safari.

Very reliable and extremely good driver. Saw all big 5 and had a wonderful group and a lot of fun.
The car was fine for the budget, but we would recommend to use two drivers at least for the parts with the very long hours. Our driver Tony never showed any signs of tiredness and we always felt safe, but it just seems to much of driving for one person on one day.
The accommodations where fine for the budget. Only the last two nights at amboseli national park the mattress was way too soft. Here the bed bases need to be fixed!
The trip to lake naivasha was quite boring, uninspired and expensive. We would recommend to skip this for your clients, as the rest of the group felt like it was a waste of time.
We also felt like Massai Mara + lake Nakuru would have been enough for seeing all animals and experiencing the nature of Africa. The additional Amboseli NP was fun, but not really necessary.
A big big compliment goes out to our driver Tony. He knew a lot about the animals, was very reliable, always on time and an exceptional driver. Where other cars got stuck or couldn't drive he managed easily. We felt very safe with him.

Lizette was very knowledgable, responsive and covered all the details well.
The safari experiences which Lizette recommended for us fit our purpose and expectations perfectly. Our emails were always responded to quickly, even after hours or on the weekend. The safari tours changed our lives in what we learned and the conversations we were able to have with locals... and definitely the game we were able to observe.
The only suggestion I would make is to ask the client ahead of time if they want to be met and chauffeured through the airports. This can very uncomfortable for some people due to cultural differences and understandings.

We were really well looked after , and shown some the most incredible wildlife and culture.
The tour was amazing , stayed in some beautiful places and saw some of the best wildlife on the planet.
We really enjoyed our trip with Mamaland, could not imagine it to have been any better.
Would recommend this company highly.
Thanks to all

4 day Safari was excellent
It was a trip of a lifetime! We would like to thank Wilson from Saso for arranging our amazing itinerary. Also, we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Michael for the safari part of this trip. He was knowledgeable about the animals and a very cool guy. Michael made the long and bumpy ride entertaining for everyone and lighten the mood when it was very hot and dusty. We will definitely recommend them to family and friends here in Singapore. Thank you for giving us a memorable trip. Already dreaming about our next safari trip!

Saso Uganda safaris is the very best option for travelling in Uganda
After two years of persuasion and then planning for an eight-day safari in October, 3 curious American friends were greatly enriched by their time with Saso team in Uganda. Lavish lodges cannot match the magical experience offered by Saso Safaris. The breadth of knowledge and passion about every aspect of the bush challenged the intellect of the group, particularly the keen birders; we also had unique opportunities to enjoy the animals and nature in relative solitude; and we were entertained over many wonderful meals.
This is the very best way to see Uganda with highlight sightings being the Gorillas, Chimpanzee and Lions.
