Excellent organisation of our tour and special support during our trip
We made a Tsavo-tour with Netherken. Everything was well prepared and also special thanks for our driver Mahmoet. We spotted a lot of animals within the first hour and also during the other game drives. Our expectations have certainly been exceeded. Not only because of this but also the special care they delivered during our tour but also after our tour because of some special experiences, we appreciated that a lot. So thanks to all.

Excellent !
I was very luck in choosing Mwendo African Safari, it was a last minute booking and have nothing bad to say. The tour went very smoothly, the staff very kind and professional, good food and comfortable transportation. It was one of the most affordable tour company in Arusha and every penny spent, worth it. Highly recommend.

Excellent safari and beach holiday
We are a family of 4 from the UK and recently stayed in the Masai Mara doing a 4 day 3 night trip followed by a stay at Diani Beach organised with Edith of Kenya Safari Arcade. The communications were excellent, she delivered as promised and accommodated changes to the booking in the build up to the holiday (we changed from a land transfer from Nairobi to air transfers). The staff on safari and the beach hotel (Basecamp Explorer & Kole Kole Baobob) where exceptional, in fact all Kenyans could not do enough for us.
We saw 4 of the big 5 (no Rhino) and masses of animals on safari and even when we got caught in the mother of all thunderstorms, our guides got us back skilfully adding to the drama of safari.
I was nervous using a tour operator I had never met but, based on a referral, we went ahead and Edith delivered fully even meeting us for a meal on our trip back through Nairobi on the way home. We could not recommend her enough.
We felt the safari first was the right option, fly to the camps if you can, do the village visit in Masai Mara and, unless you are a diving expert, you will find the snorkelling in Diana worthwhile although felt the locals do need to respect the coral better.
Overall fabulous.

Pathetic..Waste of Money and Time
Unorganised and unprofeasional. Dont use the service else you will end up wasting your time and money. We experienced of disappointment
1. Driver didnt paid for the lunch om the way to Masai mara from Nairobi.
2. Driver didnt paid for the park entrt fees and was caught by ranger and we wasted our first day of safari
3. We were transferred to a different tent with no attached shower at midnight and also they were fighting with us when we said we will not go to a different tent. It was not safe to be at there at that time
4. I ordered cake for my wife but they forgot to make it and are yet to refund me the money
5. We are vegetarian an we confirmed that since beginning and yet we were given Nin-veg food.
6. Our Vehicle did not had radio , so following the rest was out of question.
Overall it was a terrible experience wherein nobody was there to take our call and listen our problem. The agency did not bother to take our call.
There was another girl from Mexico who joined us on third day and she experienced the same.

Great, kind, reliable and efficient service all along
The visitors were very impressed and certainly found the communicated insights of Zimbabwe's History and landscape very informative.
The services of African Coast Travel & Tours are highly commented

For a short notice planned trip, this was an excellent and efficient experience.
Was amazing, Camp Bastian (the accomodation) was amazing too.For a trip booked and planned two days before departure, everything was really done well.Our tour operator (Anton) was really experienced and patient with us and our three year old daughter.All in all, I would definitely do it again, and would highly recommend this agency.Abdalla's communication was always on point, very fast to reply to queries and efficient. :)

They have good customer care and very friendly. The feeling of being in the right place .
Having left us with great memories after our trip, I would recommend for one trying to decide on the guide service for your trip. You should not hesitate to choose Iconic travel services limited. From initial correspondence to the final completion, they excelled in every department .We were a family of 4, flying into kigali and then to Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, and Muchison falls.The trip went off without a hitch and we were fortunate enough to see what we hoped for.
And yes, we would book with then again.

Better than any expectation!
We made an individual five-day tour with Edwin through the Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. In the run-up we did not really know what to expect - be it the type and number of animals, the comfort of the accommodations or our guide Edwin.
As mentioned above, we are totally thrilled now back in Germany. Thanks to Edwin's expertise, we have seen pretty much everything about animals that you can see. Highlights were certainly the rides, in which one was alone in the endless expanse of the Serengeti and suddenly discovered a lion family at the waterhole. Or when we set off in the morning before dawn and discovered two lion brothers and shortly thereafter two cheetah brothers and no one else was around us.
Regarding the accommodations no wish remained unfulfilled. We did not think what comfort awaits you in absolute nowhere.
And also Edwin has delighted us with his sympathetic nature and responded to every wish, without losing the spirit of discovery in itself. Great!
We can fully recommend Pumba!!
