Unprofessional behavior and old cars! Do not go with them!
1st of all I can tell you that you can have a good experience with them but don't risk it.
Part 1. The manager, I think Ibrahim, took us from airport and went to a restaurant, it wa OK.
Part 2 We went to the hotel which had no hot water... Whatever we were going in Safari next morning, he told us that the car will arrive at 8am. It arrived at 8.20 with the problem of windshields. We lost like anotjer 30 mins.
P4 The driver was ok and had the knowledge of the parks (Tarangire and Ngorngoro).
P5 In the first day of the trip it rained in the car, it was during the rain season.
P6 The accomodation in the Manyara Igloo was ok.
P7 CUT TO THE CASE... We should have had another night in that Peace hotel we stayed in the first night. We went to Arusha wit a taxi driver coz' the Safari driver should have stayed in Safari for another day. AND THERE the manager told us that we wont stay at the hotel because président it's in town and there are no rooms left. When I asked him why it wasn't already payed he said that the room was "complementary", not like it was in tha package we paid. Like we should have stayed on the streets if it wasn't so 'kind' to offer us a "technical room" at the Meru Treks offices, with a llt of lound and unclean bed.
DO NOT GO WITH THEM!!!
This guy is full of surpises.
Actally the car broke in the Safari and we stayed there 45 mins...

Wonderful experience
We just got back from a 4 day safari tour covering Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Peter was able to customize the tour according to our preference and schedule, and answered all our questions in a timely manor. Our driver/guide Danson was knowledgeable and experienced. He was prompt and always kept the vehicle clean. We have seen a lot more wild animals than we had expected to see on our tour. This is truly a once in a life time experience for us and we are glad that everything went well. Thanks to Serene Safaris we had a wonderful experience we'll never forget.

Eighteen day safari
The staff and itinerary at Gamewatchers is exceptional and thorough. We were on safari with them one week ago and found them to be punctual, informative and thoughtful. Despite my husband experiencing two serious medical problems during our eighteen day safari they accommodated us in every way and even provided an extra three day safari at Porini Cheetah Camp when he was unable to complete the Tanzanian portion of our trip. We are grateful for all their assistance and kindness and recommend this company in every way to anyone looking for an exceptional African safari and tour.

Our trip was simply amazing! It exceeded our expectations in every way.
Our trip was simply amazing! It exceeded our expectations in every way. South Africa and Swaziland (now eSwatini) were beautiful; the waterfalls, mountains and scenery were outstanding. We found the people to be very friendly and engaging. Our guide, Jaco was the BEST! Incredibly knowledgeable about everything.... animals, birds, plants and a great cook as well. When asked "what wildlife did we see?", my answer is "what did we not see!" The accommodations were very comfortable and in some of the most beautiful locations.
I have not stopped talking about our trip since we got home and have told everyone that I talk to about Red Africa Safaris!

I got my money's worth on day one and the trip just kept getting better.
I booked my trip through groupon and it was a fantastic deal. The accommodations were amazing, the food was great, Kenya was a gift, our guide (Francis) was the best and deserves a raise. I can't recommend this tour company and this country/safari enough. It was the rainy season which meant more adventure (be prepared) and fewer tourists.

Amazing trip - vegan honeymooners!
We went on a 8 day/7 night tour with Kombi Nation. The best choice we could make. It was not only the less expensive tour, but I'm sure it was the best. We loved every single step, all the staff was amazing with us. Our driver, Muhammad was super friendly and funny. They worked with the lodges and restaurants to accommodate vegan food for us. The lodges were great, and I have no words to say how much we enjoyed our time in Uganda. Really recommend this agency, hope everybody has a chance to hire them!

Great experience!
Full service. We were picked up from the hotel and returned to the same place.
The safari itself is a great experience. We managed to see all of the big 5 and some more. Personally, I especially liked the Lake Naivasha boat safari as I managed to get my dream shot of a bird (African Fish Eagle in that case) catching a fish.
The camp in Masai Mara and the hotels in Nakuru and Naivasha were clean and well maintained. Not Hilton-level, obviously, but I wouldn't expect that in a budget safari :)
Our driver/guide, Anuri (sorry if I misspelled your name!), was professional, nice and friendly. It was thanks to his skill that we could see the big 5 in such a short time and off-season.
Overall, highly recommended.

A once in a lifetime experience
As a family, best vacation ever. Home to Africa arranged a perfect trip for us. Extremely professional service, a wonderful guide (Derrek) and very good price for what you get. Go to Uganda and we can strongly recommend Home to Africa.

A wonderful Photographic Safari in Manyeleti
I contacted Armand in December 2017 via Internet. He was recommended to me and I was looking for a short notice photo safari for me an my daughter. We didn't want to go for a "couple / honeymoon" trip but were looking for a father/daughter bush experience. And what shall I say, we had the perfect trip. I had hoped for a private safari with somebody who has a sense for the needs of a photographer, and exactly this, plus some unexpected luxury, was what we got.
Armand picked us up at Johannesburg airport, took care of transportation, last minute shopping and a very relaxed first night in Hoedspruit before we had a guided 6 night bush camp safari in Manyeleti game reserve. His photographic guidance helps my daughter to master also difficult light scenarios light vultures in bright light and his knowledge about the wildlife and his relationship with the guides lead us to many outstanding sightings. From Rhino to Hippo, from Lion to Leopard, even a Serval ended up on my picture list.
We had a really great time and we already look ahead for our next tour with Armand.
