Great arranged gorilla trekking certificates!
We had a great experience and everything worked perfectly with Encounter Africa Safaris.
We had booked the Gorilla trekking certificates and Patrick delivered the certificates to our lodge just as we had agreed.
Everything was great, felt safe and very good!

First time in Africa and pleasantly surprised!
This was my first time in AfricaI, and Bernard was very perfect in answering all kind of questions since day one of my request. I and my wife did 3 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. We both camped and took a lodge Accomodation. The Serengeti Safari Booking Team organized for us free airport transfers and hotel accommodation. We saw alot of animals and the guide Elisante was perfect enough with an amazing meals prepared to us by Meshack.
I recommend everyone to book with this company" Serengeti Safari Booking '" for their perfect safari in Arusha - Tanzania.

Budgetary tour with pleasant and satisfying experience
The tour was wonderful. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, Giraffes, Zebras and many animals. Our guide Mr. Robert was very friendly and helpful in the journey. We had very good time in the 3-day tour. We were arranged to settle in Lenchada Camp. The experience was better than we thought. Staff there were nice and caring too. If you are phone to take photos in the tour, be reminded to bring at least 2 power banks which could allow you to charge at least 2 times each. Since i took many photos, on the 3rd day I had only very low battery in my phone. And electricity could only be provided at night 6:30pm-10:00pm in a public area in restaurant, it may not be sufficient for fully charging the power banks and phone.
Amazing !
We did a one night stay in an eco camp. It was amazing we saw zebras, giraffes, elephants, lion kubs, zebus, cheetahs and buffalos...it was amazing !
Many thanks to David who took uppn himself to answer our questions.
Special shout out to Richard, our driver during the safari who was very nice and caring.
It was amazing, we highly recommend it.

A good budget safari for a good time
As a solo traveler, finding a safari that not only fits my dates but also budget was important. I was picked up on time and our tour guide, Edward was really great. Though it rained almost the whole time, which was unusual for January end, it was one of the most fun times of my life. I met new people during the safari. The tent/rooms were good at Enchoro wildlife Camp. The visit to Masai village was awesome. For the first time in my life, I saw lions, giraffes and zebras. We also saw ostrich, different kinds of deer, wild hogs, buffaloes, baboons, elephants. I felt like I was watching all the characters from the "Lion King" movie. Because of the rain, our vehicle did get stuck at a couple of different places, but there were fellow vehicle drivers who also helped us. Edward is also really helpful towards others as well. The food was basic which is good. The staffs at the camp were also really helpful. Overall, I am really happy.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by KO
It was nice, but slightly lower rate in comparison with Masai Mara National Reserve, in terms of number of animals and size of the area.

It was really amazing. We have never experienced such an exciting trip.
We really enjoyed spending time in Kenya. The tour was arranged well as we had expected. We could see all of Big 5 in national parks, scenery was wonderful, weather was mostly nice, accommodations and food were as expected. Regarding the transportation, the driver John was very gentle, drove perfectly, without any stuck even on very muddy road.

Amazing when you don't get ripped off!
We booked a Safari tour with Crater Explorer on Safari Booking.
Exchanges where nice but only by WhatsApp, we didn't receive any receipt, anything confirming us the booking, but anyway, we thought it was quite normal in Tanzania.
Arrived in Arusha, the guy from Crater Explorer (Emanuel), ask us to pay the globally by cash a day before the safari without giving us any receipt (what is suspect).
Hopefully we were with a local Tanzanian at this time, who thought it was a scam.
And actually he was right! During the day the safari was very nice, we saw many animals, parks are extremely beautiful BUT for the accommodation it was the opposite of what we paid for. We were supposed to sleep in tents IN the park and actually we slept in a dirty lodge outside of the park, in a city center very noisy! We were very very disappointed, and we didn't get any refund, anything.
Just as advise, please verify safari agencies that you promote on your website, and make sure they do what they sell!
