Amazing trip.
Namibia – fantastic introduction to Africa.
Our first African safari exceeded our expectations; it was simply wonderful. Of course it could hardly have been anything else given the sheer beauty of the Namibian landscape and the wonderful wildlife in Etosha. But we have to thank Safpol Safaris for putting it all together so that we could experience so much of that incredible country. The organisation worked perfectly, the program was very well prepared. The accommodation was excellent, particularly some remote lodges like Hohenstein, Ugab or Opuwo. Every one of them with magnificent views. The food was also good in almost all lodges. Surprisingly we had lot of rain in Damaraland and Etosha but our Toyota Cruiser and our guide Peter handled lakes of water without a problem. Peter’s experience and exceptional knowledge of Namibia allowed us to relax completely in those remote areas.
Our initial apprehension to Namibian safari changed into outstanding experience thanks to Safpol and our guide Peter. Truly fantastic holiday which we advertise now to all our friends.

Well organized. Good guide and nice tents in the campsite.
It was the 2nd time we went in safari with Lenchada Safaris. And it was again a good experience. The guide Evans was always on time, had well informed us on animals. He was careful with us and friendly with my children. Our tents were nice in the campsite. I hope we will travell with them in the future.

Perfect from A to Z
First, we arrived in Kenya without stress as we had a lot of email exchange with the company. MR.OTIENO LYSANIASH, the owner, has its office in Nairobi. He is working with 5-6 people. Each time I had a question, the answer came within hours.
At the airport, our guide Benson was waiting for us. We were two friends and we had a single bus for us. Benson, aka. Baboo is a very skilled driver. We always felt very safe. The man has lot of explanations to give about the country, about the animals, about nature. He is also able to understand when you don't want to speak or when you want to rest.
Our 10 day tour went according to the plan. The guide made some light changes to enhance our experience. For example, he added a game drive to the day's program. We paid around 1900 USD each, and I have to say that we have spent each night in a luxury environment. Our safari was 10 DAYS SAMBURU, LAKE NAKURU, CRESCENT ISLAND, MAASAI MARA, LAKE NAIVASH, AMBOSELI. We spent the nights in Samburu, Nakuru, Naivasha in luxury lodges rooms. The Maasai Mara and Amboseli where under a luxury tent (the one you can stand inside, and I am 1.90m (6.3 ft) high). Those places were so beautiful that i didn't want to leave in the morning.
There are two things I want two write about, to show how professional is the company.
When we booked, we booked for to. Usually, the company books one double bed room. But when I booked, I specified that we wanted one room each. When we arrived at the first lodge, only one room had been booked. The guide called his boss and I sent an email. The following days, 2 rooms were booked in each place.
The last day, the clutch broke down. Our Benson tried hard to go to Nairobi, but he was forced to stop at 60km from our final destination. 1 hour after, we were in a spare vehicle sent from the company.
All of this to say that I book by chance with this company. Because of the price, I was expecting good quality, but not more (you can pay up do 4,000 USD for the same trip). It was much more than good, it was excellent !

Wonderful time in the DRC!
For me travelling to the DRC and seeing the gorillas and Mt. Nyiragongo has always been a dream. Last month this dream finally came true...
Both experiences are absolutely incredible and very humbling. I would recommend this trip to everyone!
I was extremely happy with Barack and the team. As you can imagine there were many questions and changes before hand (some even last minute) which he handled perfectly. The organisation was perfect and on top he is also a really great guy! My driver was Fidel who I can absolutely recommend. He was with me for the entire trip and a lot of fun!

‘Lucky For Us’
We love Luckyand GoTK! In 2016, a group of four of us enjoyed a magical 6 days of mobile safari camping with Lucky and his team of three. So when returning to Botswana in 2018, we booked Gifts of the Kalahari before we did anything else.
Nine days this time. Three nights in each of Kwai, Savute and Ihaha and again, we were treated to great food, friendly staff and magical game sightings. But not only did we have sightings, we also learnt so much about the wildlife we were seeing.
The tents and stretchers are comfortable and this time we had our own ‘ensuite’, short drop toilet and bucket shower...luxury.
If you like adventure, have a sense of fun and humour, and don’t mind being ‘out in the bush’, with lions roaring and hyenas wandering by, GoTK is the tour company for you.

Amazing trip ! We travel a lot and this trip was the best.
Even it’s the wet season, the weather was great, always sunny . When it rains it’s only for few minutes and it dries quickly.
No words can describe the wildlife , seeing the animal in their own place is amazing , it’s like nothing else. Just amazing. We were in 4 seasons lodge in Serengeti very good you don’t expect this quality of rooms and food in this place of the world. Top Top Top !!!
Our guide Aaron was just awesome, very listener to our requests and very patient with the kids !! Lucky we were with him
The car was in very good shape very confortable.
The small flights from Dar salam to Serengeti and from Serengeti to Zanzibar are by themselves an experience. Too scary
We highly recommend the travel agency Safari Hub. If you want to have the best trip ever ask for Victoria !!!

Very organized and professional
After researching several companies online, I am glad I chose this one. The communication by Chris was excellent leading up to my gorilla trekking experience. I even emailed a few people who left reviews and got some great info and tips. Patrick was great and prompt to pick me up for a rather long but scenic drive to Bwindi. I learned alot more about Uganda culture and its people. The gorilla haven resort was clean and ok .. great view of the forest, food decent, electricity was scarce and didn't have hot water one day. If you can, you must do the 4 hour habituation experience for 1500$.. it was unbelievable.. I was the only one signed up that day so it was a private tour.. there were 7 guys with me, including the guide, porter, gorialla trekkers with the machetes, and the security guys with the guns.. we trekked for 2 hours ( it was 1 hour the day before) to the gorilla family . I went during rainy season and it was muddy, slippery and even with my porter, slipped and fell 4 times. Definitelly hire the porter for 20$, and worth a good tip!. Not only did he carry my day pack, he helped me over fallen trees, throught the streams, held my hand going through the fallen leaves and branches, mud and slippery rocks and helped me to keep up with the guys. I found out that after our 7 hour experience , he had to walk 2 hours home. We first came to the silver back, it was unreal!, we then observed the gorilla family of 10 for the next 3 hours, including the 3 babies.. truly words cannot describe. Encounter Africa was perfect to the last detail, felt prepared coming into the trip and totally safe as a single female traveling alone. The trip is reasoably priced, staff professional and would definteily recommend to anyone.

We have just returned from an amazing holiday in Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda and we have Safarihub to thank for organising such a fantastic and stress-free experience. From the minute we began planning this trip a year ago the staff at Easy Travel have been very professional, prompt in replying to all emails and helpful in every way.
