Absolute once in a lifetime Safari experience!
I decided to go for a 10 day safari on my own and hell I do not regret choosing this tour operator! As it was my 1st time safari, I had a little doubt and pressure going into the unknown. however, Stephen, Abraham and Elrie were fabulous in managing this safari inside out. Guide, China was very reliable and organised, always informed us with extra knowledge or stories of each animal through his vast experience, which he finds with excellent eyesight from afar; this made long hours of driving fun and interesting, if a case occurs that some customer may get bored of the magnificent endless grass view of Serengeti bedded with countless of wild animals.
For Tanzania, I was offically conracted for 5-day Safari (lake marnyara, Serengeti and ngorongoro crater), but due to a misunderstandings they were unable to find my group ( budget safari), therefore I stayed in Arusha one extra night, which was not in the itinerary. However, Abraham was quick to review the confusion and gave me a free upgrade to a luxury lodge for Serengeti and still gave me an extra one day of safari experience! Abraham was true to his words and very helpful in sorting out mistakes if arises.
I would highly recommend Shengena travel anytime for any occasion of safari experience!

A really memorable Uganda safari arranged flawlessly by Home to Africa
I was planning a Uganda safari for myself, my wife and 4 close friends. We decided on Uganda as we have been to the more mainstream safari destinations and wanted to try another up and coming African destination. I contacted several Uganda based safari companies almost 12 months ago and Home to Africa was the best at almost instant communications. After a few email discussions, we settled on a 12 day safari plus 2 days before in Entebbe and then 3 days on Sesse Islands at the end of the safari. I wanted to use a local Uganda company as by doing that one ensures one's money goes to companies based in Uganda rather than using an international company. I did make some enquiries before sending off quite a large deposit to secure the holiday and accommodation and was assured Home to Africa was a very trustworthy company. All the logistics and bookings were flawlessly done by Hedmond at Home to Africa and when we arrived in Entebbe we met our guide, Karim, who was to be our travelling guide for the entire safari time. Karim was fabulous throughout. Unfailingly polite and such a knowledgeable guide for all animal and bird species found. He also discussed how people live in Uganda. The lodge accommodations were all perfect and we saw so much wildlife as well as stunning scenery. We all had a memorable holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending Home to Africa to anyone thinking of booking a Uganda holiday.

Great Safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater
We very much enjoyed our two-day Safari with LongWay. Abu did a great job explaining everything, answering questions, and giving us great views of the animals. We based out of Farm of Dreams in Karatu which I also recommend if you are going to visit Lake Manyara or the Crater.
Thank you Ann and Abu!

Monkey Adventures 5
From my first contact, through negotiations on a plan and eventually booking, then meeting their representative in Nairobi and following flight to the Maasai Mara triangle and meeting our excellent guide Richard, everything was very clear, open and professional, my dear wife and I felt safe at all times and the knowledge of Flora, fauna, location/routes etc was extensive, he knew just the right places to go even though these were somewhat limited due to un seasonal heavy rain fall well into what should be the dry season. I recommend booking with these guys, they'll take care of the whole package as they did for first timers like us but I expect provide exceptional service to seasoned safari folks too. The truck was pretty new, easily dealt with challenging off road conditions and was spacious and comfortable, endless supply of drinking water on board, and handy guide books to help confirm identities of all sorts.
Excellent tour organiser and the guide, highly recommended
We had an amazing experience visiting Kenya for holiday. From the start we were picked from the airport as arranged, the communication was very clear from the beginning of our enquiry until the last minute. When we arrived at the national park we met our wonderful guide Richard. He was extremely experience with nature, knowledgeable about the animals and spotting beautiful creatures. We felt safe with his driving and confident about whatever he was organising. We will definitely be back in the future and using Monkey Advanture and request to have Richard as our guide. I am sure other guides are all meeting a very high standard. We met some of the team and they are so helpful and friendly.

Amazing experience - special thanks to Raymond!
What a time! We spent 2 weeks trekking, safari-ing and relaxing around Uganda and Rwanda. We couldn't have had a better time! Our guide, Raymond, was top-rate, making sure our experience was perfect. Our gorilla, chimp and monkey treks were mind-blowing. Still can't believe we were so close to the wildlife!

Amazing tour company and safari experience
We had an amazing trip with Safari Ventures! We got excellent advice on where to visit and what time of year, and after those decisions were made, Safari Ventures handled everything! It was an amazing trip that was well planned and organized, with incredibly knowledgeable guides, and fantastic lodges. I can't recommend this company enough!
