Try to find other company, there are dozens of them
We've booked the car rental with driver in June and sadly, after paying nearly $5000 it was the worst experience ever. I'm traveling a lot, almost every month, I've been on every continent and dozens of countries and never been treated this way. It mostly the driver´s fault, an older man who was trying to show all the time that he's a boss and achieve to ruin our vacations. I've returned 2 months later, renting the car with other company and had a great time.

Customized safari with impeccable service, exceeding expectations.
Fortes Safaris wildly exceeded any expectations I had. You know how you build up most vacations and experiences based on movies and expectations, then have the reality be close but not quite live up that standard? This was one of those rare times when everything was right on the money. Communication with Sophie was prompt and professional, she was very accommodating to our changing schedule and timeline; the owner, Lucas, was attentive and followed up with us along the way to ensure everything was perfect; and our driver Kapama had better eyes than eagle, drove safely and sanely all day long, and was wonderfully knowledgeable about the creatures we saw along the way. We did a 4 day safari through Serengeti - Ngorongoro - Tarangire. We were taken through a maze of roads through the park and hardly saw another vehicle along the way but did see the big 5 and a recently fed python crossing the road. 10/10 would recommend Fortes ltd.

They rpovide superior guides and services.
I have traveled five times with Fortes - custom safaris that were inexpensive - depending on hotels used. I have experienced at least five of their guides, each excellent. My last two safaris with them included seeing the migration, which is one of the highlights of any safari. The lions abounded, as - surprisingly - did the leopards. I could depend on them to quickly deal with any unforseen problems. I planned the last four safaris by email, and Fortes was always quick to reply and ready with any information I needed.
