Adventurous and professional
Charlie's travels organised our honeymoon in Tanzania. It was a great adventure and they were with us every step of the way. Simone was very professional and helped us to make the perfect program. We drove our own car, which was a great adventure. When we had a mechanical issue with the car they arranged everything and we didn't have to worry about it. Accommodations were great and probably not that easy to find if you would try to book it on your own. Communication and preparations are good.

No regrets!!
The communication prior to the trip was regular and informative. This lead to all our expectations and needs been met. The operator ensured that all our requests were fulfilled, even the fussiest of ones. All aspects of the trip were met beyond expectations I.e. meals were lovely, safari drives were awesome (in most cases breathtaking), ranger and tracker were amazing. On the whole the operators provided us with a 5 star experience!

We visited 3 Ugandian national parks for gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking & game drives.
We had a fantastic tour with Home to Africa Tours. Kareem, our guide, was personable and knowledgeable. He ensured that we saw everything we wanted to and answered our unending questions about the wildlife, culture, terrain. Hedmond was responsive to all my inquiries before the tour, helped us to make modifications to our original itinary and always replied within 24 hours. We enjoyed all of the lodging and couldn't have wished for a better trip.

Safari Big 5 showed us the Big 5!
Imran at Safari Big 5 was great! He set up everything for us and was very, very detail oriented. He was very responsive (given the 10 hr time difference) to our questions and checked in with us frequently during our stay. Our accommodations were excellent, the food was good and plentiful and felt very safe the whole time. Our safari guide, Nurdin, was very knowledgeable of the area, plants, animals, you name it you knew it or found out what it was. Plus a really interesting guy to get to know and we felt like friends by the end of our tour.
They also planned a break in Zanzibar. The guide of old stone town was funny! Also very knowledgeable and obviously a local as everyone seemed to know Abdi! It felt like getting a tour from a friend. Also felt very safe there and had a great time.
We would use them again in a second! Was truly a trip of a lifetime!

Unforgettable gorilla & chimp tracking with Fred
We were introduced to Tony at Maleng Travel by close friends who were living in East Africa at the time. Tony was responsive and detailed during the planning and booking process, and came to meet us at our hotel in Kampala before departure. Our route was Kampala > Kibale (Kyaninga Lodge) > Queen Elizabeth (Katara) > Bwindi (GFC) > Lake Bunyonyi (Bird's Nest). Fred was an incredible, friendly and knowledgable guide. We were glad we opted for the higher end lodges - while expensive, they are totally unforgettable. Our favorite activities were obviously the gorilla and chimp tracking, but hiking around / swimming in Lake Kyaninga, sitting around the camp fire listening to a local musician at GFC, and meeting Fred's family were also highlights.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
We opted to go on a private safari with VERVET SAFARI & TOURS, (travel agency based in Arusha – Tanzania) because they provided excellent tours. We went on a 6 day Northern Tanzania Safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Arusha. We communicated with Basili Agustino, very friendly and helpful, with we made all plans and accommodation for the trip. He was flexible and she make the trip to all our requirements. Our guide Evance, was a good person and very friendly, educated us with the history of each park, the environment and the animals. We were very lucky to see lions rest, flamingoes, pelicans, baboons, impala, cheetahs and lions hunting. Our guide was very flexible to our wishes and needs. The tour was amazing, we stayed in a mix of wonderful tented camp and lodges that were comfortable and had excellent services. It was the first time in Africa for me and my boyfriend, our experience with Vervet Safari & Tours was phenomenal and we will be recommending the company to all.

A great, thoughtful and experienced agency
We had a great 11 day honeymoon in Tanzania which included a city break, safari and time on the beach. The last 4 days on Mafia Island was our favourite part. We were treated very well by the staff at Pole Pole. The food was delicious and the snorkelling was fantastic. Wayfairer were extremely helpful before, during and after our stay. I particularly liked how easy it was to get in contact with them by email, phone or WhatsApp throughout my time dealing with them. Thank you.

Amazing experiences through Rwanda and Uganda
The tour was very easy to set up. Edrissa worked with us to accommodate our wishes. We had an 18 day private safari, starting in Rwanda and ending in Uganda. The guest houses, local guides, variety of activities and field experiences were all that we hoped for. Paul was an excellent driver especially on the mountainous roads of Rwanda. Golden monkeys, gorillas, lions seeping in trees and rhinos were some of the highlights. We also had the opportunity to interact with the local people and visit several schools. An unforgettable experience.
