Amazing trip. Exceeded expectations.
As a group of 4 we did a 19 day trip to Kenya, Rwanda & Tanzania. Our tour did not skip,a beat. Everything was planned perfectly, and out guides were extremely adept drivers and incredibly knowledgable in regard to all animals and their habitats. Our accomodation was excellent and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We saw every animal imaginable, even 5 leopards which are quite rare to see. We saw a whole pride of lions which we had all to ourselves and there were many highlights. Thankyou Fred for your many emails answering our many questions. Many thanks to our expert guides, Leonard, Douglas and Bakari for making our trip one we will never forget.

Memorable Experience!
Our experience with Affordable Kilimanjaro was even off to a wonderful start before the day we arrived. When I called about reservation options, Victoria also provided a lot of helpful information about hiking Kilimanjaro and wonderful meal recommendations.
Our guide, Julius who led our group of two, was very inviting, addressed questions throughout, and let us know of upcoming spots we'd want to ensure we snapped a picture.
Thank you for a wonderful, memorable, relaxing but also exciting climb!

Memorable Trip
We took our family of four on a seven day trekking adventure to Mt. Kilimanjaro. When we first began planning our trip, Victoria was great to work with making sure we had all the proper gear and information to be fully prepared for our trip. She answered all of our questions promptly and professionally. Then when our trip started we were also impressed with both of our guides -- Joseph and Ibra. From the moment we met them we knew it was going to be everything we wanted for our family adventure.
The guides had ability to motivate everyone to continue when it was difficult was incredible. Ibra's positive can-do attitude and strong work ethic really made for a very pleasant experience. Both of these gentlemen went out of their way to make sure our family had a memorable trip.
Choosing a high quality guide company is critical because when something doesn't go right that's when you really need them to be able to step forward. Affordable Kilimanjaro provides highly qualified guides that have not only experience, but are well trained and personable.
Thanks again for a memorable trip and we look forward to our next family adventure!

Great Job - Safari well Organized and Great Employees
We booked a safari with several options for a family of four. For my kids it was a first trip to Africa and we were concerned about all the accommodations and service we would get. We were pleased with the outcome and were glad we chose Skylink tours. Irene was of great help and stayed in communication with us throughout our trip from Nairobi to Serengeti to Mount Kilimanjaro. WE also went to Zanzibar and Dar es salaam. Isaac was a great driver for our safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
They provided us with full driver service and tours . I would highly recommend this tour company and their great services.

5-star perfectly planned safari in South Africa and Botswana!
From our first email communications planning our family's first ever safari in South Africa and Botswana to helping locate a misplaced lens rental and its return, Ute's expertise and advice were impeccable! Ute planned the perfect safari for our family, and the intimate lodges and safari tours more than exceeded our expectations! The lodges were absolutely amazing. Food was delicious, even catering to one in our party with serious food allergies. The lodge staff and guides went out of their way to ensure that our safari experience was most memorable. Ute responded promptly to our inquiries and was extremely helpful! Our next safari will definitely be with Roho Ya Chui! Highly recommend Ute and Roho Ya Chui!

Perfect in every way.
Our experience with Mwema Africa was excellent from start to finish. After deciding to go to Ol Pejeta, Samburu, and Meru, we reached out to 5 companies for information and quotes. Simon provided the most comprehensive and helpful information by far and one of the lowest quotes. He gave us tips for saving money, and made a great suggestion to upgrade one tent camp for a slight price increase, which we found very much worth it. Simon's communication was prompt and thorough from inquiry through departure, making recommendations when we wanted them and booking things we decided on. We stayed at Serena Sweetwaters, Samburu Inrepids, and Ikweta in Meru.
Our driver James was incredible. Unlike me, he was always early - and waited patiently. With 25 years experience, he knew Samburu and Ol Pejeta inside out. Meru isn't as commonly visited (we only saw one other car in 1.5 days of game drives) and he competently navigated that park as well.
Our safari far exceeded our expectations from day one. James was a superb spotter and freely shared his vast knowledge about all types of wildlife. We saw the last two northern white rhino, a huge male lion, several prides of lions, approximately ten cheetahs, tons of elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, all species of antelopes, and many rhinos and hippos. James went to great lengths to also find an elusive leopard in a tree. We saw a number of Somali and regular ostriches and were treated to a mating dance by a pair in Ol Pejeta. That is quite a sight! We were in a safari van, not a land rover, and he still got us very much offroad for the best viewings.
As we spent 6 days together, James also answered various questions about the Kenyan economy, life in Nairobi, etc.
And for anyone wary of aggressive driving, James is a 100% within the speed limit type of driver (who very competently navigates Nairobi traffic as well as the many unpaved, challenging roads shared by cars, motorbikes, pedestrians and livestock.)
They are a small company that has been around for 20 or so years. I hope to return and would absolutely book with them again.

Great!
Our time in south Africa was spent in Kruger NP which was terrific with many wild animals and birds to view. 4-5 days in Kruger is a perfect amount of time.

Once in a life time experience
Kenya is an absolutely beautiful country and we had an unforgettable experience thanks to our guide! Our guide Benson went above and beyond to make our trip amazing from start to finish and was so knowledgeable about Kenya’s wildlife. We have travelled around the world and our trip to Kenya is one of the highlights of our travels.
