Incredible experience! Warmest people and most amazing sights <3
Pounds East Africa is our favourite safari business to tour with.
Communications with them (especially the wonderful Loise!) is easy and quick, so any pre-trip anxieties were calmed almost immediately. My husband and I had some issues with our flight into Kenya but the Pounds team was exceptionally kind, understanding and flexible, allowing us to shift activities and dates around so we could make up for lost time (due to our own personal mistake!). There was nothing we had to confirm or check into ourselves as Loise had everything covered for us! We had also engaged Pounds to arrange our safari trip into Tanzania, and there was no point in which we had to concern ourselves with where we were going and how we were to reach our destination. Service was wonderfully seamless.
The guides (John and Kikitu) were both amazing as well! John was relentlessly professional and reliable. Kikitu was a ball of sunshine - seriously (and I can't emphasise this enough) have never met a man happier and more optimistic than he is. We saw a multitude of animals thanks to them both, and it all came with fun, insightful facts and commentary.
Accommodations, food and the safaris were all great. The lodgings were tailored to our budget and was great value for money! For us, we chose a good range of different accommodations and whether it was a tent, hotel or a nice lodge, they were all more than satisfactory. Most importantly, we had good food almost everywhere we went.
We are so thankful to Lois for the entire safari trip, and we're so glad we can trust her and the Pounds team to take care of anything and everything. Overall, I would recommend Pounds East Africa Safaris over and again to anyone considering a trip to the safaris!
