Awesome!
I was in Nairobi for work and only had one day off on my own to enjoy seeing some of Kenya's extraordinary wildlife. I chose to do the Amboseli day trip from Nairobi and it was magnificient! My guide and driver was very knowledgeable and made sure that the visit to the park was focused on what I wanted to see and at the pace that I wanted. It's an extraordinary park to watch elephants, hippos, giraffes and many other animals. I had an unforgettable time and, whilst I would have loved to have had 5 days instead of one, it was well worth going for one day. Warmly recommended!

Trip of a Lifetime - Okavango Delta - Chobe - Vic Falls Tour
Thanks to Kalahari Breeze for a phenomenal tour!
Pre-Tour: After emailing Maria of an idea of what we wanted to see and the time frame/budget, she emailed me within 24 hours with an itinerary that fit our needs. Of course there were many questions before we said "yes" and Maria answered them all promptly. Paying for the tour was easy too. She sent a detailed itinerary that had every date, time and company we should expect to see that I printed and referred to in case I had forgotten what we were doing each day.
During Tour: So amazed at how smoothly things went. From every pick up point to the activities that were included (game drives, walking safaris, two boat rides). The camping on the delta was better than expected. The food was great considering there was no stove, oven, fridge, etc. I mean, we had baked lasagna and fresh baked bread!! And, the people were so friendly and just wanted to make sure you were comfortable. Of course the wildlife was fantastic and Victoria Falls was something that was on my bucket list. Definitely better than Niagara Falls (IMHO).
Someday I want to visit the Kalahari Desert and I will use Kalahari Breeze as my tour operator when I do.

We booked 8Day Safari with this company. It was an unforgettable experience and money well spent
The pick was on time i was happy about that because I'm not a waiting person. The tour was spectacular there was so much to see it did live up to my expectations, the food was good and timely provided and the accommodation was neat too. It was a great unwind from this busy life of mine can wait to come back again.

an amazing experience
At first, I was scared of which company to choose for my first trip to East Africa, and afterwards I was happy to have done so with Great Adventures Uganda. All offers described were perfectly organized. The way to start the Bwindi -Trip with Great Adventures Uganda from Kigali(Rwanda) was the most comfortable way to reach my target. Especially with my tour-guide Simon I learned many things about both countries on tour. And the day with Gorilla's at Bwindi was much better than I imagined before - when I think back - my heart is beating again faster. Many thanks to this experienced guide Simon for his kindness - I highly recommend him and will come back in future to Great Adventure Uganda

Absolutely life-changing experience with a top-notch company.
From the first day we were picked up, to the last day being dropped off, my experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris not only met, but exceeding every expectation I had. To start, the accommodations within the safari jeeps was very comfortable, with easy access to chargers so electronic devices were always able to be used. The seats themselves were very comfortable with ample window space to gaze out through. Leslie, our personal guide, was probably the best part of the entire experience. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and was able to engage everyone in our group on a personal level. He carried several field guides to be able to refer to when we saw an unfamiliar animal or wanted more in-depth information. He himself was like a walking encyclopedia, able to name almost every bird, reptile, and mammal by site alone. Leslie also went the extra mile by stopping the jeep to point out things like scat and different animal tracks, that made it feel like a more wild experience. The food throughout our four day safari was also a wonderful blessing. It was some what catered to Western diets, with an African flare. Water was available whenever needed, and the guides encouraged everyone to stay hydrated - which is easy to forget about when one is having so much fun. Finally, the lodges that were included in the safari were absolutely breathtaking. They rivaled any American hotel, with a postcard setting, and no matter the location, it was clear safety was always a number one priority. Overall, Tanzania Choice Safari is a top-notch company, which I will definitely book with again.

Unforgettable trip
I used Motto Tours in 2017 and visited Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru and Mombasa and had a great experience with my family!
Our tour leader was very knowledgeable, our driver was very experienced and passionate about his job. The meals were amazing especially for the children.
We will endeavour use Motto and highly recommend. So far we have booked for another trip and look forward to many more!

Andrew Malalika: The Amazing Safari and Mountain-Trekking Tour Operator
I have known Andrew Malalika of Jackpot Safaris, for some eight years or so. I first became acquainted with this friendly, amicable man, not far from our hotel in Arusha, Tanzania. He was already running his business and was extremely kind and courteous to my friend Aklilu and myself. What impressed me most, was the fact that although we did not initially want business, he was still happy to chat ... to make us feel welcome and was extremely accommodating to us and our World Harmony Run.
I should point out that Andrew is fluent in English and this helped a lot, as he was able to find some boys for us later on, to go on a run up Kilimanjaro, to a total of 4,500 metres. The boys he found was extremely nice and we had a great time on the mountain, singing and chanting Peace songs together.
Andrew was the first person I looked for on my return in 2013. He introduced me and friends to his family, helped in getting me from the airport, showed me around many interesting places, all at his expense and gave me some great advise on living and travelling around Arusha. I did give him some business, yes, but he went the extra mile, as we became friends and some nights ate in really 'cool' restaurants in and around the City Centre.
Andrew shows a keen desire to learn more from the foreigner ... to listen, a very noble trait and has many contacts in key places, including both dignitaries, esteemed partners, porters and guides. He is also an expert in invaluable knowledge of the mountains. He has supreme charismatic skills and charm in looking after his clients and visitors alike.
I hope to use him again on my return this october for both Safari and Kilimanjaro climbs and I would not hesitate in recommending his approach to detail and safety of the foreigner, to all seeking to tour Arusha and beyond. The City and surroundings are blessed from Heaven and there's a great deal to see and enjoy.- Manatita Hutchinson, London. UK
Note: My last visit was 2013. Our website, peacerun.org, is full of photos of the scenery, Arusha, schools and MT. Kilimanjaro from about the 6th Nov, onwards, 2013. I cannot seem to load photos here.
