Incredible safari and even better customer service
From the start, Fiona’s attention to detail was unmatched. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and wants them to have the best possible time out on safari. Booking a budget safari, we expected some possible issues, but with Inspired Feet, she was on top of everything. She was in constant communication with us, our tour guide, and our accommodations to ensure every detail was accounted for. Highly recommend booking with Fiona for anything from your budget to luxury safari!

Really organized and authentic!
Kima Adventours organized an amazing trip for our group all the way from Tanga and back. The hotel were really authentic with good service and food. The drivers drove safely around in the park and had a lot of interesting knowledge of the wild life.

Amazing!
Our safari with Jocky tours was an amazing experience that we will never forget. We had a 5days/4nights tour in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha, the communication with the company was great from the beginning, easy payment, punctual start. I cannot be grateful enough to our guide, Geeman, who made an excellent job taking us safely from one place to another, meanwhile sharing his knowledge about the animals. The food was really delicious all the way, vegan options available at all sights.

Ozon provided us with our trip of a lifetime. They took our wish list and made it happen efficientl!
Our communication with Ozon was always quick, organized and efficient. We were able to custom design our Tanzanian safari and extension to Zanzibar as we wanted and within our budgeted costs. The trip went above and beyond our expectations in terms of everything, the guide (Albert was exceptional in his knowledge, driving skills and diligence), our accommodations (such great tented camps), food (so much) and of course, wild life experiences. We witnessed cheetahs stalking and hunting impalas, a wildebeest so young it’s umbilicus was still in place, giraffes fighting for dominance, lionesses ‘hanging from trees’, almost too many ‘raucous’ baboons, black and white rhinos, hippos having fun sliding down a mud edge and splashing into the water, and on and on I could go. The landscape is exceptional and ever changing.
This trip was so stress free and we had developed such a trust in Ozon and its people, that we just relaxed and knew that we were well taken care of. I don’t think you can ask for more than that. Thank you so much, Ozon.

5 star experience, knowledgeable tour guide, amazing stays, lots of animals!
These guys really take care of you. From the moment we arrived at the airport, taken to our first nights stay, everything was explained in great detail and the safari planning was discussed. Our guide Freddie took us around the national parks and was very knowledgeable about all the animals. We saw loads of them and took amazing pictures. The lodges we stayed at were really nice as well with very friendly staff. Overall amazing experience, I would recommend anyone to go with Suricata!

Really professional and caring before/during and after the service!
Our experience has been fantastic with Kihindo Tours. I was exchanging emails with Winnie for quite a while, and she was very patient, answering all my queries clearly and really fast, providing different options to match what we wanted, and being accommodating.
We were picked up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam by Winnie and Michael (our guide) promptly (they actually got there earlier than expected!), and after finalising payment and dropping Winnie at the offices, Michael started driving us to the camp where we'd be staying. He was very chatty, there were lots of water in the car and we stopped a couple of times for lunch, a break, etc. It is a bit of a long drive to Mikumi, but well worth it. A few kms before arriving to the camp, we started seeing animals (giraffes, zebras, impalas...) and Michael very kindly stopped so we could start taking pics. The accommodation was great. We had a nice bungalow, with the basics. It was really charming and all we could hear was birds and insects. It was lovely. food in the camp was very nice (buffet).
the safari - Amazing .Michael was great, really knowledgeable and explaining lots of things. He made the whole thing really interesting, easy and really cool! We were very aware that it's a safari so maybe we wouldn't be able to see some animals (sadly we didn't spot leopards), but it was amazing. Our first day we saw elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, impalas, crocodiles, monitor lizards, hippos, wilderbeests, storks...and other animals and birds I can't remember haha .
We also did a walking tour of the nearby waterfalls. It was great view and really quiet, as it was low season, so we had the waterfalls just for us to swim
All in all, we believe it's great value for money, they were extremely reliable, helping us with all the queries we had before/during/after the safari...Would absolutely recommend. We even met Mr Kihindo, who is a very nice young man!!!

Fantastic safari
I organized our first safari in Kenya with Julius and it was a great choice. I discussed and agreed with him a 5-day program from Nairobi to Diani crossing 4 parks: Amboseli, Tsawo west, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Tsavo east, sleeping every evening in a different camp (Kibo, Kilaguni, Saltlick and Ashnil).
The program we agreed upon was perfectly respected, exceeding all expectations. The driver George proved to be a very expert guide, pleasant and capable of identifying animals, even the most hidden ones, such as the 3 lionesses on the night trail at the Taita Hills. Julius was very attentive texting me every day to check that everything was ok. The Land Crusier Toyota, although not brand new, was still perfectly efficient and perfect for the purpose. I definitely recommend it.

Jartan is the best guide I’ve ever met, by far!
Jartan is so knowledgeable about the country, the culture and the people and he goes out of his way to make sure visitors see as much as possible. He is passionate about what he does, he’s personable and his communication skills are amazing. If something isn’t quite right, he will find a way to fix it. If I could go on all my trips with Jartan as a guide, I’d gladly do so. If you’re going to Africa, I highly recommend Jartan as your guide. There really is no one better

Fantastic experience with Mandela & Salim
We had a fantastic 4-day safari with the absolute best guide: Mandela! He has 11 years of experience and, not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals and birds, it’s obvious that he truly cares about animals and nature. He was so committed to making sure our group was always happy and saw all the animals that we wanted to. He was also an excellent driver and mechanic who refused to let washed out roads stop us! Such a nice man with a great smile.
We also had the best food I’ve ever had on a safari (and this was my fifth)! Salim is an incredible chef and produced the most amazing meals three times a day. I have a wheat allergy and he constantly made me special things that I could eat. He is also fun, caring, and committed to excellence.
I highly recommend Mandela and Salim to anyone and I’ll request them the next time I go on safari!
