A great experience in Africa
Francesca&Stefano are great Tour Operator because the planning of the expedition was perfect! We visited a spectacular Natural Park in Zambia and in Malawi and did many exciting game drives; the accommodations were very comfortable and nice and we ate good food! The people was always friendly and kind!
An expedition with Africa Wild Truck is an experience of nature and life, we had the chance to get in touch with local communities and understand their lifestyle.
We have been impressed from this kind of travel and surely we would like to repeat it!

A magical stunning experience in Kidepo.
I travelled with Buffalo and another company while in Uganda recently. Buffalo was outstanding and professional from beginning to end. Buffalo were flexible and accommodating and went out of their way to ensure a fabulous trip. They are very efficient with replying to emails and the entire booking process was very easy. I did the 5 day trip to Kidepo and it was absolutely stunning, words cannot describe how amazing Kidepo is. The food and the driving was excellent as was the knowledge and friendliness of the crew. This was the perfect end to my Ugandan adventure.
I would recommend Buffalo without hesitation. I will certainly travel with them again. They are the best.

A SAFARI AND AN ASCENT OF KILIMANJARO THAT BLEW EVERYONE AWAY
Four friends and I recently returned from a most wonderful adventure in Kenya and Tanzania organized by Dickson and Adventure Africa Expeditions. My friends were "blown away" by our wildlife safari in Kenya and then the climb of Kilimanjaro and finally 3 days on Zanzibar. But visits to the giraffe centre and elephant orphanage near Nairobi, a tour of a spice farm on Zanzibar and meeting local people were great added experiences. It was the first visit to Africa for the others, although I had been before. I did a similar trip with Dickson and Adventure Africa in 2011 with other friends and felt enthused and looked forward to another trip with Adventure Africa.
Our guide, James, for our safari to Masa Mara, Amboseli and other locations was very knowledge and is to be highly recommended. James led us to wonderful encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, vultures and much more but nothing surpassed our 1.5 hour encounter with 2 wandering leopards. James also knew the birds we saw and the variety of trees and other vegetation. He was excellent! Our accommodations and food were first class.
Our ascent of Kilimanjaro, led by our guide, Siraji, and his assistants, could not have been better. We ascended the Machame route to the Shira Plateau, then spent 3 days traversing the southern slope of Kilimanjaro. We passed the Lava Tower, Barranco Camp, Karanga Camp and on to the Barafu Camp while getting acclimatized to the high elevation. Then it was the night ascent to the top. Despite an average age of 65 we made the top with no headaches, nausea or other altitude effects although saw people in other groups struggling or even having to give up and turn around. Although less than perfect weather (except for the ascent to the top) our guides, porters and cooks did a fantastic job of looking after us. The tents and food were great. We could not thank Siraji and his crew enough for the good time and successful climb.
In short, we would strongly recommend Dickson and Adventure Africa Expeditions for a wonderful and varied adventure in East Africa.

BEST SAFARI I have ever done in the unique Ngorongoro-Crater!!!
We had a great one-day safari to the Ngorongoro Crater with Enchanting Tanzania Safaris. I already booked it before our trip to Tanzania and it was very easy to communicate with them. In Tanzania everything was well organized and also as a friend of me wanted to join us at short notice (we had one empty place left in the car), it was no problem at all for them to make this possible. We had a great time and a lot of fun and were lucky to see many animals (Lions, buffaloes, zebras, hippos, elephant, rhino,...). James, our amazing driver and guide, was professional and very funny. With his huge knowledge he could answer us all the question we had concerning the animals and wildlife in Tanzania as well as Tanzania in general. Besides Swahili and English James is also fluent in German, so I would absolutely recommend him to all people that prefer a tour in German. My next safari will be definitely again with Enchanting Tanzania Safaris!!

Super adventures with Compass Safari
Compass Safari took us through 4 parks in 5 days and each was a spectacular adventure. We had soo much fun and the staff and jeep were excellent. Hotels were clean and either in the park or very close by. Can't wait to come back and we 100% recommend Compass Safari to anyone who asks...and who doesn't :)

An efficient and bespoke service, fantastic value for money - highly recommend!
Trying to organise four different people from two countries with varying tastes and preferences and temperaments (!), to go on a trip spanning three countries is no mean feat. However the team at Intek, specifically Olivier and Diana, did an amazing job of it.
Over a month of to and fro emails, midnight phonecalls and endless tweaks culminated in a once in a lifetime experience including gorilla trekking, exploration of Mafia island and Victoria Falls. The whole itinerary including flights, transfers, hotels and excursions (as well as catering for vegetarian meals) was effortlessly and seamlessly coordinated and the trip was a resounding success.
If you have a busy schedule or just don't know what to do or where to go on your next adventure, I would definitely advise calling Intek as a first port of call.

Great Experience visiting Lake Nakuru and the Mara Reserve
Great experience. Our guide Anthony went out of his way to make sure we saw the big 5. Doing a Land Rover cost just a bit more, but really helped us get around. Liked the optional boat ride at Lake Naivasha. The Mara Reserve was awesome and the all-day Safari was an experience.

Wonderfully accommodating; great experience that worked within my budget!
The entire experience was smooth from start to finish. The trip had everything I was looking for, and worked within the budget I provided. Transportation was convenient and flexible timing to work with my schedule. They even surprised me by making the service aware it was my birthday, and I got a special cake and song!!
