Great Safari Experience
Hello to all the team Africa Remote Safaris,
We did a safari from 13 to 27 July, my son and I would like to thank you that everything was perfect. Seeing all these animals from their natural habitat was magical and proves that there really is very beautiful things to see on this planet.
Kenya is a beautiful country with diverse landscapes and Ken our guide was able to show different sides of the country. As for Brian, our cook,we say, it was perfect. And most importantly, no problem for us tourists compared to recent events in Kenya. Very nice holiday and hope to come back one day.
Thank you to all of you

Kenya and Tanzania Safari report
Steve was absolutely superb both in helping us frame and develop a custom tour as well as in constant follow up until we left.Inevitably things will change on the ground when trips are planned in advance and Steve was consistently on top of the changes and adviced us accordingly.As first time travelers to Kenya and Tanzania Steves advice and guidance was simply excellent.An example is when we changed the start of our Safari at the last min.from Serengeti to see the migration.We met Jackson from the Arusha,TZ office who was also superb.Totally responsive to our needs,she helped make a few adjustments while we were there.Once again an exceptional experience made possible by Africa Remote Safaris.

Scam bookings - denied plane boarding, unpaid park fees, missed pick-up & briefing etc.
Do not take the chance to have the same terrible and costly experience we had with Mr. Steve Biko, Africa Remote Safaris! As of today, 1/6/2016, we have not been reimbursed for our additional expenses, US $ 4,461, which we occurred due to Steve Biko's continued failings, and have not heard back from Mr. Biko.
Our safari was scheduled, Aug. 16 - Aug. 22, 2015. Day 1, we were not picked up as scheduled in Nairobi to continue to Masai Mara. The hotel arranged for transfer to Wilson Airport and from there we flew to Masai Mara. Upon arrival and being greeted by our driver, we were told our park fees, driver and car fees had not been paid. After waiting around and phoning with Mr. Biko, we were off to go about 1 hour after arriving. Day 3 our scheduled balloon ride did not happen. Day 4 we were supposed to continue to Serengeti, and were denied boarding the SafariLink plane due to Mr. Biko had failed to pay for the tickets. On day 5 after not being able to leave our hotel due to Mr. Biko not paying for our lodging, our family of four had no other option than to change our itinerary for the remaining day's. This cost us an additional $4,461 for accommodation and flights, not to mention the time we missed actually being out seeing animals, and instead dealt with the many failings of Steve Biko and a police report encouraged my the Manager of our hotel, who wants this type of scoundrels out of the Kenyan travel industry. Throughout our safari when running into unpaid services, Steve Biko continuously asked us to pay in order to be reimbursed later - we did not as our safari was paid in full well in advance.
With the experience and knowledge I have today, my advice to you would be to organize your own safari. It might seem overwhelming, but you can book your flights and hotels directly, and arrange for a car with knowledgeable drivers with the hotel you are staying at. Enjoy your travels, and stay away from Steve Biko and Africa Remote Safaris.
Great Safari Experience
As a single female, i decided at the last minute to change my travel plans and include Tanzania on my 8 days East African Tour. I emailed Amy at Africa Remote Safari to see if she could assist me with planning an 8-day all inclusive trip. Within an hour, i received a quote and itinerary that was exactly what i was looking for. Amy also assured me that she would get the best guide to make me feel more comfortable. Africa Remote Safaris far exceeded my expectations and not only put together the most amazing tour of Tanzania and Kenya, covering everything in 8 days, but also everything worked within my budget. I have traveled to over 37 countries now and i can say, without a doubt that Africa Remote Safaris is the only tour company that has ever exceeded my expectations and done so with a quality of customer service that is very rare. Thank you Africa Remote Safaris.

Great safari experience in kenya
As a family we are hooked on safaris. To us the issue is to have with the best wild life wild place experience coupled with low tourist density, flexibility in what we want to do and also to know that we are supporting real sustainable eco tourism.
We found this blend at Tanzania Bush camps, booked through Africa Remote Safaris. The experience was special for a number of reasons. The first is the great wildlife
1) No set times to return to your camp
2) there is real engagement with the local community who share in the benefits of the conservancy.
Our friends and us have also used Africa Remote Safaris to book other places as they know what is good and can usually get better prices than going direct. We didn't see a Rhino but I think we saw everything else. Great guides. They knew their birds which was a bonus. Every one was so nice and accommodating, friendly and fun. We were very pampered
A 5 star, memorable trip

Exciting Tour Experience with Africa Remote Safaris
"I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from the arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Becky Anderson, an American travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in East Africa then let Africa Remote Safaris make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Africa Remote Safaris did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own 4 Days Gorrillas Rwanda 5 Days Kenya 5Days Tanzania. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our 4x4 Landcruiser with Hamza Nyelo. Could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Becky and her recommending African Remote Safaris, we had a sensational holiday."
