Excellent local company to do your East Africa Safari
Richard put together a great 9 day trip around Uganda which has the most stunning scenery and wildlife. Steven our driver & guide made sure we were safe and well looked after. We wanted to choose a local company to ensure all our money paid was going to Uganda, rather than a large foreign company & travel agent commission. We weren’t disappointed and can highly recommend Gatatu Safaris.

Wonderful Mount Kilimanjaro & Mount Meru Trekking
May 13th I had planned & booked a family trip to Tanzania from Migration Venture Africa Ltd, and guess what? got the best deal on Mount Meru trekking and Kilimanjaro trekking or climbing for 3 Days & 2 Nights. Tanzania has the best tourist places in Tanzania such as Serengeti wildebeest migration, Lake Manyara national park, Serengeti National park, and Selous game reserve.

Excellent customer service and focused on my personal wish list!
I traveled with Orongai Africa Safari for 2 weeks in June/July 2018. They helped arrange everything on my wish list which included tours and diving in Zanzibar followed by safari on mainland, Tanzania. Martha is fast and thorough in her responses and always worked for my interests versus a set agenda/plan. Her warm personality sets the tone for the company and makes you feel like you are a friend and not just a customer. The logistics of the trip were all organized and at an excellent pace. The vehicles were reliable and perfect for the terrain and a special shout out to drivers Azizi (Zanzibar) and Noel (Mainland) who were friendly, professional and highly knowledgable! I learned so much about local culture and the animals. Accommodations were excellent throughout the entire trip. I could rave on about the trip and everything I was able to do and see! It was a trip of a lifetime and I thank Orongai Africa Safari for arranging all of it. It was everything I wanted and even more. They even surprised me with cake, champagne and beautiful flowers on my birthday! It is the thoughtful approach and personal touches that set Orongai Africa Safari above the rest! I highly recommend you contact Martha and her team at Orongai if you want to experience Africa your way! :)

Worst driver and operators I have experienced
I, along with 5 friends had booked what we hoped to be an unforgettable safari experience. Unfortunately it was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. The first day we were given a pop top van instead of a 4WD, with not enough room for more than 2 people to stand and our trip to our first lodge was terrifying with our driver who hardly spoke to us passing at great speed on blind corners nearly hitting oncoming vehicles. There was no communication from him about any of the wildlife in the parks. Our accommodation on several occasions was changed (downgraded) with us only finding out on the day. On the last day before going to the border with Tanzania to continue our safari that had been organised through Solaris we had to travel 9 hours instead of the 3 we were told as the vehicle could not go through the National Park - no 4WD.
In Tanzania the company who had been contracted by Solaris, Cross to Africa, had not been paid for our park entrance fees so our guide was constantly trying to get them to pay up. Our organiser, Judy, ended up paying for the park fees and after much persistence received a repayment a month after the end of the safari.
Our accommodation was also downgraded on several occasions in Tanzania by Solaris. It is a pity this experience has caused us to feel we cannot recommend going to Kenya.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Christian
After having seen Ruaha which definitely is the most beautiful and most scenic we were not quite as impressed from Mikumi.

Safari was perfect.
The safari in chobe national park was awesome. The wildlife was quite perfect. We didnt see leopard, but the rest we saw everything. The guide was extremelly kind and wise in the explanations about wildlife. Everything was good and i have nothing to complain about.
