Once in a lifetime experiencie
It was very difficult for me to find a company that could give me advice and have enough patience to help me organize my safari, having in consideration that I travelled on my own. Vanessa was very very helpful and kind. She has patience and helped me designed the trip, acording to the time I had available.
I was very lucky to have Joseph as my driver and tour guide. He is extremely kind and polite. He shown his knowledge about the fauna, and the area in general. He also was aware if I ate or not, if I was feeling well or not. He went beyond his duties and always with a smile, trying to find as many animals as possible, and we did! I could see the Big 5 and even more animals. It has been so amazing.
Every activity was done according the schedule, very organized. I do not have complaints about that. Regarding accomodations, the least I liked was Lake Nakuru Lodge because the bedrooms were quite old. At Amboseli Serena did not have any problems...just the baboons, which I really do not like.
The best for me was Ilkeliani Camp. I will definitely go back. It was very pleasant and quiet. I wish I could have stayed longer.
About the food in all accomodations, to me...breakfast was the best. Regarding to lunch and dinner, there were interesting options.
Thank you for the experience and I am looking forward to go back to Africa next year. I will definitely book it with you.
I will send you some pictures about my experience....can´t wait to go back, so feel free to send me information :)

Fantastic!
There were a few in the big 5 that we didn’t get to see so that was a little disappointing but we still enjoyed our time.
I wasn’t able to sit by my mother on the safari Jeep. I didn’t like being separated from her at all.

Outstanding experience!
We had absolutely the best time in Mikimu. It was mostly because of our guide Davis. He had answer to everything we asked him, made sure we saw as much as we could (and it was a lot). He puts his heart into the job, it’s his passion and that’s why our trip was so special.
Tanzanian scenery is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed our stay in the accommodation as well as food! :)

Totally The Best
My son dealt with all the communications which were excellent. Everything ran smoothly and our guide Oneasmas was fantastic. He kept us fully informed at every stage and was a real ambassador for the tour operator.

Flawless Execution for Family Fun!
Seka helped me plan a climb up Kili combined with a Northern Circuit safari for my family and me. Email communication was quick as he answered all my questions (and I ask a lot!). We were picked up on time for each leg of the trip and all tour guides were knowledgeable and kind. Choice of places to stay were wonderful and we ate very well! Everything was seamless which is saying a lot for a large group on such a long holiday. I'd definitely recommend Taste of Afrika.

Good communications and put together a fantastic itinerary
Giltedge proposed an itinerary and managed to tailor it to our needs. The pick up went to plan and then every transfer from camp to camp were handled seamlessly with no lost time . The safari tour was excellent and all aspects handled in a professional way. Very happy with the service from Giltedge.

Tour of Masai Mara reserve exceeded our expectations.
Communications were good throughout. Transport arrived at our hotel as scheduled. We joined 2 others making a group of 4 which was perfect for our van leaving a little bit of rattle room - these vans are amazingly robust and can glide over most terrain. The guide, James, was very good throughout and all arrangements and timings worked out well. Our hotel at the Masai Mara (comfort level) was excellent. The safari was first class and exceeded our expectations. Our driver got us to the right place at the right time and nothing was too much trouble. We saw just about everything the Masai Mara has to offer - there seemed to be a special on fresh zebra and wildebeest because we saw numerous groups of cheetas and lions gorging themselves over the 2 days were were in the reserve. We also spotted a leopard sleeping in a tree! Overall an excellent tour and we have superb photographs to remind us of our safari

Benson is the best!!!
Benson was fabulous and went out of his way to make our Safari everything we could want.
At our request he interviewed and hired Erasto Martin as our Safari guide, and we saw many, many animals- cheetahs and cubs, lions sleeping, walking, mating, hunting, and Cubs. We witnessed the wildebeest crossing, saw elephant troops, saw a female in estrus, babies, elephants bathing and eating. We saw baboons and babies, vervet monkeys and babies, blue monkeys and colobus monkeys. We saw giraffes, zebras, hippos, and many many birds.
Our accommodations were great. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot with plenty of water, but what made them all so memorable were the friendly staff!!!
Benson met with us near the beginning and at the end of the Safari, and made additional arrangements for us when we wanted more.
