Wonderful views, great horses, beautiful stars. A great experience. Very well organised.
Crossing the equator the first time. The rider from Solitair to Swakopmund was a great experience. Wonderful horses, a group of nice people all well into riding. Perfect organisation, good crew and Andrew who looked after us all, checked and guided us though the dessert. Too bad it only lasted 8 days.

Wonderful guide, professional service
We had a fantastic holiday organised by Amko Safaris. In spite of only contacting them 10 days before Easter weekend, we wished to go, they got the whole holiday sorted very quickly. Furthermore, customer service was extremely helpful: emails were replied to quickly and they sent lots of helpful information about making the payment.
The holiday itself went without a hitch, and accommodation was better than we were expecting. The highlight for us was our guide, Mr Jones Muli, who was great company, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure we had a fantastic time. He was extremely flexible and we were able to organise our time in the lodge/ on safari in a way that suited us.
Overall, I'd recommend Amko Safaris without hesitation.

Unbelievable Fantastic Trip
This trip has impressed my family beyond our wildest imaginations. We did not think that the stories that we hear about Serengeti and Ngorongoro are true but we have finally experienced the moments and they are wow.
Our guide was Melkiot was very good, very knowledgeable and eager to please. He made sure we weer happy and kept on asking what we wanted and then he would get if for us!
The Jeep was in top condition and did not break down even once despite being driven on some bad roads.
The Lodges were very good and served excellent food. I particularly enjoyed the service at our campsite in Serengeti.
We saw very many animals and in the end we were thrilled and wowed by the adventure.
I recommend Vervet Safari Tours with no reservations. They are a great company and put together an amazing itinerary for us.

FANTASTIC ADVENTURE WITH VIVA SAFARIS
We had a fantastic experience with Viva Safaris. We hired Tremisana 4 days and it really was the adjusted thing, although we were left wanting for a few more days (especially my daughter). All the planned activities were as they were offered by Viva Safaris. Excellent punctuality, guides, food and accommodation. I would do it again without a doubt.Thank you to all staff.

It was excellent.
We were in the Congo two weeks ago and it was great. We watched lowland and mountain gorillas, as well as chimpanases. Everything was well organized and without any problems. You have a guide Serge was excellent, intelligent and always willing to help us with everything we needed. I highly recommend it, we will surely return here.

Incredible experience from start to finish!
Our trip was just just fantastic, when our driver Mr. Daniel came and picked us up, Chaz Tours and Travel had some gifts for us, they gave us the Masai blankets and some maps or books for information. Our children loved Mr.Daniel, they even made a Mr. Daniel song for him. He had an eye of an eagle, his eyesight was so spot on, we didn't need any binoculars because he can spot like cheetahs and small animals far away. On our way to our 4 day trip Nairobi - Lake Nakuru -Masai Mara - Nairobi trip we first stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, it was such a sight and if you read up about the Great Rift Valley you will be amazed. Next stop was lake Naivasha with island stopover to have a close encounter with giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles and water bucks. Lots of different bird species at the lake, we even had the chance to feed fish to an eagle. You will see some hippos soaking up at the lake too. We had lunch as a stopover and grabbed some coffees in one of the malls on the way to Lake Nakuru, remember to grab some drinking bottled water to Lake Nakuru - Mara or snacks and fruits and bring your own shopping bag as they don't provide this in shops in Kenya (plastic free). In Lake Nakuru, you will see the pink flamingos, we spotted a black rhino and serval cat, we stayed at Lake Nakuru lodge. Water is not drinkable but its so soft and made our hair and skin so soft. Next stop is Mara, Mara is a long journey with mostly rough roads and it takes around 6 to 7 hours drive from Nairobi, it is also very dusty. April is supposedly rainy season but for the entire week we were there, there was no rain. It can get a bit chilly in the mornings but after that it gets hot during the day. Mara was amazing, it's a dream come true to see the animals in their natural habitat. We stayed at Masai Mara Sopa lodge and it was a great place to stay. We visited Kekoorok air strip where we bought some souvenirs, try and bargain if you can, we visited also Masai Village and had some look around their livelihood. we learned so much in this trip and would use the same company again and recommend them in the future. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

An awesome day and a must do experience
This drive in the Kruger was the highlight of our time in South Africa. Picked up at our hotel very early in the morning by Keegan, our guide. We were so lucky and saw so much. Keegan is so knowledgeable on the animals, birds and plants and shared it all with us. His love for all wildlife is so genuine and just wonderful to be around. I don't know how he did it but he could spot the wildlife from afar, even seeing a cobra snake striking at a bird on the roadside, sad but incredible to see how nature is. It's a must to do this drive with these guys. Keegan also had great recommendations of places to go around Hazyview. Over and above our expectations for the day and memories that will last forever

Spectacular Safari with Migration Venture Africa
Two words- Absolutely amazing describe our experience on safari. Our guide Erasto was better than perfect. He picked us from the airport where we had come in from Uganda and from that time we did not have a dull moment. He drove us beautiful Maramboi tented camp just outside Tarangire National Park where we wound down and rested. The following morning took us Tarangire where we spent the day tracking wild animals and we saw so many elephants and some herds must have been close to 100 animals. We then went to Lake Manyara and did the board walk. This gave us the advantage of watching the animals without spooking them and also a 360 degree view of the surroundings. Ngorongoro Crater was so fantastic. From the moment you step on the rim begin the wonderful journey that takes you to the crater floor. There a huge variety of animals enclosed by the walls of the crater, including the rare black rhino.
We then went to Serengeti where we spent 2 nights in a tented camp and visiting different parts of the park and enjoying different scenery and animals.
This was an awesome experience and we got it for a very reasonable price.

Awesome and Byond Expectations
Awesome experience thanks to the wonderful arrangements made by Teacher and amazing guiding by Shaban. Everything went smoothly from the timely pickup from airport, transfers, game drives and cultural exchange visits.
Our itinerary took us to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Arusha National Parks. We also visited the Hadzabe Bushmen and a Maasai boma. The whole experience from watching wildlife in close proximity, learning about the different communities and different ways of life are nice memories that I will not forget in a hurry.
We think that this is one of the best safari companies in Tanzania today and recommend them to everyone.
