Easy communication for an amazing safari
Esther was really nice and helpful. We saw lots of animals, the accommodation was really ok for this price, and the vegetarian food was amazing. Our guide, Maxwell, was really nice as well. I recommend it 100% !

Experience of a lifetime
My husband and I had a marvelous experience with Lion King team. Very professional, we learnt a lot of things thanks to Khalifa, saw all the animals we wanted to discover. Everything was perfect. When we arrived in Kili airport I had a bad surprise because my luggage was missing and Anna took care of everything! Thanks again

Amazing Safari - worth every cent
I can highly recommend doing a safari with „smile with us in Africa“. The communication before arrival was smooth. They were very helpful and flexible.
During our safari we experienced some extraordinary sceneries. Lake manyara, Serengeti and ngorogoro are very different and have a great variety of animals and nature. Also our driver did a very great job in getting us close to the animals.
The accommodations in which we stayed were very comfortable and cozy. The service of the lodges was extraordinary - staff was very friendly and thoughtful.
We can definitely recommend the 4days trip! The service we received was above our expectations and worth every cent!

East to communicate, knowledgeable and flexible call back service. Great English as compared to other operators we had contacted.....We recommend Safarihub for people who want to visit Kenya.

The best tour operator in the region. Proper planning, very reliable. The best DMC.
Real time communications. Javiva Adventures always responds to emails and calls on time. I recommend this company to anyone, that's why am booking my next safari with them for Easter holidays.

Amazing Northern Tanzania safari
Our trip was arranged by the manager Elias and our outstanding guide was John. Elias was amazing in setting up a ten day safari that fit our travel schedule and desires and in responding to our flight delays, missed connections and lost luggage (none of which were his fault). Once our lost bag finally arrived, he made sure we got it, even though we were well into our safari and nowhere near the airport. The itinerary he suggested, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater were each unbelievable and every day presented us with a new adventures and surprises. The accommodations - a mixture of hotels, lodges, tented lodges, and tented camps - were all quite comfortable (some bordering on luxurious) while at the same time giving us a sense of staying among the animals we came to see.
John, our guide, gave us the perfect combination of looking out for the needs of a couple of 70 year-olds along with the skills and patience that allowed us to see some amazing things. He would start out early, but not too early, in the morning and had the knack of taking us back to the lodge for a nap or a swim when we began "running out of steam." We saw each of the "big five," some on numerous occasions, as well as dozens of other animals and birds. We had the good fortune of seeing multiple lions, giraffes, herds of elephants, the birth of a wildebeest, and a kill by two cheetahs. This was more than just good luck but also the result of John's sense of when to stop, wait, and see what was about to happen, along with his patience in being willing to wait long enough for it all to unfold. He was a fun and informative companion for each of the 10 days of our safari.
As much as this was a "once in a lifetime" trip for us, we had such a wonderful time we are trying to figure how we can repeat it.

Excellent, just like previous experiences
Gathering initial requirements and building a plan around the thought was very good. Quickly came to agreement and booked. Hints and recommendations made were greatly appreciated.
The safari itself was amazing and all the organisation went according to plan. The attention to detail on the transfers was very good.
All in all and excellent booking process, safari and experience.

Gametrackers is a great safari company with highly skilled and professional staff.
My husband and I would highly recommend Gametrackers for your safari in Kenya and Tanzania. The communication with the staff during the planning phase was excellent. Stacy and Judy were responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. Our guides during the safari were fabulous. We did a 10 day excursions with our own guide and cook and both were amazing, If we ever returned, we would request both of them by name, Daniel and Benard, as they were the ones who made our experience phenomenal.

Excellent service
I hired the services of this company to go to Bwindi - the Impenetrable Park to watch the Gorillas. They organized a 3 day private tour. The driver picked me up at the Hotel in Kampala. It takes about 6 hours to go to the Park. We made two stops. The first one in the Equator where one can purchase some handcrafts at more or less reasonable price. The second stop was for lunch. The place - which I cannot remember the name -- offers a reasonable buffet. The package included the driver, transportation, lodging and 3 meals. It did include wine, beer or any other alcoholic beverage. At the Park we stayed at Bakiga Lodge. The surrounding are beautiful. It has a combination of solar panels. The water is heating burning wood which it is not very environmentally friendly. The bed is quite uncomfortable. The food and the service is very good. The experience to watch the gorillas is amazing! The walk is challenge and something that one must do. I recommend to use gum boots instead of sneakers or hiking boots. Gloves is a must. Plenty water. The park offers people who can help you to carry the water, the food and maybe can help you in the walking. The help in the walking can be less useful, but the help in carrying things is quite important. The rangers open the way using machete since there is no path. I would recommend to bring cash and low denominations. The rangers seem not have money to provide change....The passport or any ID is needed to register in the Park. Plastic bags are needed to protect personal items including the cellular. It rains. Long leaves is recommended to protect from insects. The second night I stayed at Bunyonyi Rock Resort. This lake is gorgeous. The hotel uses solar panels for all (heat and water). The food is very good and the rooms and bed are excellent and so the service. This is a place to stay longer. So beautiful. Now, lets talk about the company. The car was in very good conditions. They send a picture of the car and copy of the driver license of the driver. Robert, the driver was excellent. He drives very well and carefully. He is very respectful and well-educated who can entreating with well-informed conversation. On the return we stopped again at Equator, but this time for lunch. The place offers poor food. Almost all is fast food. I hired this company talking to Nicholas one of the managers who is quite efficient and accountable. I will probably use this company again. Enjoy the beautiful sightseeing of Uganda. The country side is amazingly beautiful.
