My overall experience was above my expectations
I did a 5 days safari with my girlfriend (from Burundi) and with my father (from Canada).
Mgona was our guide. He was really kind to us and very knowledgeable.
At our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport, Mgona was already there to welcome us. Our trip/itinerary was already settled.
The choices of hotel and the food were perfect.
I had the chance to visit between 35 to 40 countries around the world and I never encounter a place with that kind of customer services. Sometimes, it was a bit too much, but let's be honest, everyone likes to be treated like a lion king.
Cornelius, the owner of Safari Africa United, was always quick to respond on WhatsApp or via email.
The safari itself is not cheap but worth every penny. We saw hundred of thousand of animals.
Suggestion : 7 days Safari would be even better. You will be running less and spread the travel time over more days

Amazing tour with Jimmy! He knows how to get around and serves the best experience!
I just got back from a 5-day safari in Uganda and Rwanda, and it was incredible. Our guide, Urban, made the trip really special. He knew so much about the animals and the parks, and he always made sure we were having a great time.
Trekking to see the gorillas in Uganda's Bwindi National Park was amazing. It's hard to explain how it feels to be so close to these incredible animals. They're so powerful, yet so peaceful. It's something I'll never forget.
In Rwanda's Akagera National Park, we saw the Big 5 – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes. Each sighting was exciting and special in its own way. Urban was great at spotting the animals and telling us all about them.
The places we stayed were really comfortable, and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The whole trip was just perfect.
I'd definitely recommend this safari to anyone who loves animals and adventure. It's a short trip, but it's packed with unforgettable experiences. Thanks to Urban and everyone else who made it so amazing!

Best Tour Guide We Ever Had
William was so thoughtful, he provided us all the essentials (like hiking stick, water bottle, lunch/snack, etc), he also carried all stuff by himself, leaving us climbing with ease. He always waited for the last of our group before any branching route or difficult sections. We also like his knowledge on all the birds and plants/trees on the route, we learned so much from him.

The very best
I went on a Africa safari last year my tour guide Jartan was the best my adventure took me to Kenya and Tanzania for 23 days
He arranged everything from start to finish
He is very knowledgeable and took time to explain details and answered all our questions
The lodgings were first class and the meals were delicious if you have a desire to visit Africa request Jartan as your guide and you will experience the best African Safari experience ever .

Group tours include many changing itineraries and the require flexibility
Karibu Safaris was responsive in the lead up to my tour and picked me up on time.
One thing I wish I knew beforehand is that a "group tour" includes people from different travel agencies with different itineraries. I thought it would be a group of people with the same itinerary, sharing the same experience. However, we would sometimes have to drive people out of the way so they could meet their next driver, or wait around so we could pick-up new people. I wouldn't have minded this if I had known ahead of time. Also, every time we asked our driver/tour guide questions about the itinerary he would get very annoyed. It wasn't until the last day I realized he didn't know the answers either! I wish he had just told us what was going on - it's not his fault the agenda kept changing.

Best Tour, Best Choice
Magwar Escapades helped us plan as well as execute our family trip.
Right from the onset they were very proactive in communication and in planning which helped us customize our itinerary exactly how we wanted it.
Upon arrival in Nairobi, we were met at the arrivals by our guide Joe who accompanied us throughout and helped us navigate through the itinerary with patience, knowledge and humour.
We spotted the Big 5 multiple times across Masai Maara, Amboseli as well as a sea of Flamingos in Nakuru.
The Camps/Lodges recommended for stay by Magwar Escapades were very luxurious and well equipped to handle any request. Overall a very satisfying trip.
Thank you Joe and Ephie

Perfect safari
We were picked up from Nairobi airport and taken on our three night safari to Maasai Mara. The safari was perfect and just as we had asked for with two nights staying in a lodge and one night with a local Maasai family. We even walked with the Fairmont Rhinos. Denis our safari guide was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would recommend Laxatrails to anyone looking for an amazing safari.

Spectacular!
I had the opportunity to visit three different parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. All of them are amazing and support an incredible abundance and diversity of wildlife.
The weather was nice (I was there in November); It was raining just in Arusha, not in the parks. In general Tanzania seems to be a safe country. Arusha is full of tourists, so I think the local people are very used to foreigners.
