A week with the best eyes of the bush ;-)
We have spent an incredible week visiting the National Parks of Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha with our guide Richard Thomas Boniventure.
We have greatly valued his thorough knowledge of the area, his accute sense of observation and his highly reliable driving. He has always given us all the time we wished to admire the species we had already taken pictures of so many times !
Aside from all the animals we have seen, the highlights of our safari were the chance to get a very close look to a cheeta and to see a leopard go down from a tree after having been waked by the distant noise of our vehicule during his nap. The incredible starry sky we have seen at Ruaha is another wonderful memory.
The journey from one park to the other has given us the opportunity to discover beautiful landscapes and to get an idea the local population's life. The lodges where we stayed (Selous Kingalodge, Vuma Hills, Ruaha River Lodge) is everything one can dream of.
We can warmly recommend Richard's services and wish to thank him once again for his excellent job.

Great Guide and nature Safari experience

Excellent 5 day safari
We had a wonderful Safari experience from Wildlife Oasis Tours. Humphrey organized everything for us and one other couple, and it turned out better than expected. We took a 5 day camping safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks and I don’t think we would have found a better safari for this price.
The highlight for us was the hot air balloon safari our second morning in the Serengeti, well worth the extra price!
Some things to note:
Since the tour company is young and small, they hire tour guides/drivers from other tour companies who are available. For instance we had a really awesome guide/driver and cook (Salim & Salim) from Kili Slopes and we could really recommend these two.
If you can, bring USD$ with you from your home country, almost no one takes card here. We thought we could withdraw what we needed from ATMs, but it turns out you can’t pull out enough to pay for a Safari, so we had to find a hotel to withdraw the other half which was very expensive (around 25% fee).

This trip was out of this world !!
My family did a week long safari to Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and The Masai Mara National Parks. Our guide John Kabiro was very professional, knowledgeable and skilled and from the very beginning we felt very comfortable with him. He promptly picked us up early in the morning from the airport in Nairobi and took us to our Hotel. He was with us the entire trip and we thank him for making this one of our best safaris we have gone in Africa. We saw an amazing variety of animals and birds, including the Big 5, crocs, Hippos in their natural habitats. We took a hike and cycling in Hell’s Gate National Park and it was also full of fun. The Masai Mara is so stunning and as a friend who has been here told me, you'll struggle to get what you see out of your mind once you've left. That is very true.
The accommodation,food, customer service and even the vehicle we used were all excellent and thanks to Daniel and all the staff of African Sermon Safaris for arranging such a wonderful trip. This is the best experience of our lives! We would definitely use African Sermon Safaris for another African Safari.

Great experiences !!
5 days of trekking on Mt. Kenya with such beautiful mountainous scenery and a great support team was the best experiences of our lives! The guide, cook and the able porters were very pleasant and knowledgeable and they made us feel very well-taken care of.
The food was excellent and varied, tasty and filling and much as this trip was tough, everything was over-shadowed by the beautiful scenery and experiences. The sunrise at the top was magical - it was a dream comes true.
Big thumbs up to Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions for organizing this unforgettable trip for us and highly recommend this company. With the company you’re assured of a hassle-free expedition, just as we did.

Great Safari experience
Prior to the safari, Castro was great at communicating, and is able to change the itinerary if required. We booked the 5 day 4 night lodge safari, which was well priced compared to some other companies. We changed the first accommodation, which looking back at it now, there wasn't any need to do this as we had very little time at the accommodation. Our Driver and guide was Rashid, he was knowledgeable and helpful. Whilst at the national parks, all the guides would communicate with each other so they knew where the animals were. We had a Chef cook us lunches every day and dinner while we were at Serengeti, and his food was great - some of the best food we had all holiday
Day 1 we had a safai to Lake Manyara, it was a long drive from Arusha, we were told the drive was 2 hours, however it took 4! Didn't see loads of animals here, however we did see a young baby elephant which was a highlight of this park.
Day 2 we had a safari at Tarangire, lots of animals here, and we were lucky to see a Cheetah and lions.
Day 3 , we drove to Serengeti, long drive, but was worth it, and lots to see on the way. We stayed at Serengeti Research Hostel, which was great, there was no web site, so we didn't know what to expect, but it was a nice surprise. I think there were 4 en suite rooms, a shared lounge and a kitchen area, however no one else was staying there so we had the place to ourself with the guide and chef. We were surrounded by wildlife it was great. The Chef cooked us a lovely dinner, took a while, but was worth the wait!
Day 4: We had a couple of game drives in Serengeti - We were lucky enough to see a Leopard and lions in the tree!
Day 5: Ngorongoro crater - amazing park, lots of wildlife and great views. We saw a few male lions close up, and a Pride of lions walked right past the van. Didn't get to see the Black Rhino though
We stayed at Rhino Lodge, nice place, however it does get cold here at night and early morning so pack something warm!
Overall, we would definitely recommend this company for booking a safari, wish we could do it all again

Everything went smoothly
What I appreciated the most is that Ute was always very quick to respond to my inquiries.
I was a bit worried pick-ups because I had to make changes few times due to flight schedule changes and activity I decided to include in a last minute, but there was nothing to worry about. We got picked up pretty much on time every single time.
I will recommend Roho Ya Chui to anyone. I will definitely use them again next time I plan African safari.
If I am to give my personal advise to people who are planning to visit Kruger, get an accommodation inside the park.
If your budget allows, go to a private game reserve instead of the Kruger National Park.
There were too many tourists there, which makes it very difficult to see rare animals.
We missed a leopard siting while waiting on a very long queue, and had to wait for a long time to see sleeping lions.
It was crazy.
I had so much better experience at Sabi Sands.
