Obag African Safaris were absolutely perfect hosts - considerate, helpful, knowledgeable & attentive
Communication ahead of arrival was fantastic - and this was put to the test as I needed to make some last minute adjustments to arrangements. No issues with language barriers and actually the team were kind enough to help me in my efforts to learn some Swahili. On arrival - we were greeted immediately and looked after from the first minute to the last. We were welcomed by the team, looked after and made comfortable following our transfer from the airport and put completely at ease - they accommodated every request we had regarding itinerary, diet and accommodation, nothing was too much trouble. We'd had some challenges on the earlier part of our holiday prior to arrival which meant that I was travelling alone with my son unexpectedly and the guys looked after both me and my son superbly. (I'd had a rather taxing time and had even toyed with abandoning the remainder of our African adventure and heading home - but they looked after me so well and I realised very quickly after arriving that we were in safe hands, with caring people who would ensure we made the most of our incredible surroundings and not allow any challenges to mar the experience.)
The tours we went on were great - we saw so much and the guides had such a wealth of knowledge on the wildlife surrounding us. They were relaxed and flexible where possible, say we wanted to spend more time in certain areas. They showed us life outside of camp too and we visited the local area's bars - they accompanied me so I could experience this and meet the local people without being concerned with no knowledge of the area or language, or as a female alone. The safari tour we had was perfect - we saw several of the big five and so much more... We even visited a hot spring in the park during one of our tours, which was absolutely glorious breaking up the time in the Jeep and so fantastically refreshing!
I can't recommend Obag African Safaris highly enough and I will certainly be returning for more... Great value, great service and very professional in terms of their knowledge and always remaining cognisant of our safety. It was a fantastic experience that we will never forget!
