An adventure in Masai Mara!
I once thought of going to Masai Mara one day. After talking to my work mate, i got to know about African Comfort Zone Safaris through their website. The professional response i got from ACZ safaris was marvelous. i was advised on key areas like accommodation, meals and entertainment. One special thing i noted about African Comfort Zone Safaris is that, they are keen on customer satisfaction. ACZ safaris planned my Masai Mara safari from pick up from Nairobi town, a stop at Rift Valley Viewing point, Narok and finally to Masai Mara. African Comfort Zone Safaris' guides are fluent, informative and patient. My stay in Mara was safe, entertaining and relaxing. Many thanks to African Comfort Zone Safaris team. i look forward to getting the best out of nature and ACZ safaris are my right people to ensure this is well catered for.

Simply the best!
Tanzania Explorer delivered an a perfect trip. From the very nice location and the apartment we rented in Dar Es Salam, with everything we needed on a daily basis, just a quick walk away.. ATM, pharmacies, grocery store and restaurants!
The Safari experience was so god, Jimbiza Lodge delivered what we were hoping for. Living in wild life! Beautiful view over the river, monkeys running around.. Perfect!
Zanzibar maybe the best place on earth… The beaches, the food, the people, the girls.. Everything is just a bit better than every other place on earth smile emoticon Hotel Sahari was perfect for us. Quiet and easy going, not to many people at the hotel. And just a short taxi drive to other restaurnats and party places!
A special thanks to our guides/drivers/family therapist/bargain-helper/advisers/wingmans Banja and Rashid that helped us alog the way with everything!

A great itinerary with an excellent guide and comfortable accommodation
Our dealings with Matoke Tours was excellent from the first contact, through to the end of our holiday. My wife and I opted for a tailor made holiday and received excellent advice, and quick e-mail response to all our questions. Our tour was very much inclined towards bird watching and our driver/guide, Confidence, was very knowlegeable and informative. He was also a good companion explaining to us all aspects of Ugandan life. Importantly, his driving was very safe, and his negotiation of washed out roads impressive. As we were travelling alone we were able to stop when and where we wanted, and change timing etc. all of which was an added bonus. We opted for mid-range accommodation, and although we encountered the usual quirky electrical and water supplies, the rooms were spotless and the staff helpful and friendly. We were also pleasantly surprised at the high standard of meals everywhere we went. Although some of the journeys were long, we found the beautiful countryside, and the smiling children, waving as we drove past made them more acceptable.
We would love to return to Uganda, and would certainly use Matoke Tours again. Thank you.

A very professional safari package which made our trip to SA a wonderfully memorable experience
WWS provided help in making the important decisions about where to go and what to see and experience in SA, the email exchanges were efficient and clear and the service provided overall in delivering the agreed package was very good. Having never done a trip such as this we put ourselves into the hands of WWS and were not disappointed. The whole experience was well balanced considering the different areas we visited, and the transport timings were well organised and efficient. Overall the accommodation was very good. The safari experiences were the highlight of the holiday, particularly with WWS safari guide in the Kruger national park who enabled us to view all of the big 5 animals and many more. He also provided a lot of information about the habitats and habits of the animals as well as looking after us and feeding us very well.

Fantastic Safari-experience
To experience a safari in Tanzania has been a lifelong dream of mine, and last january the dream was fulfilled. We were 4 guys leaving Norway, and was going for a real roadtrip in Tanzania to see the best safari locations. When we landed in Tanzania we were met for our guide in Tanzania, Rashid. He was the perfect guide, and showed us both Mikumi and Ruaha in an excellent way. I can absolutely recommend Ruaha, the place is unbelievable, with green nature, a lot of animals, and very few turists, so you feel like your in the wild, and not in a zoo.
Tanzania Explorer put up a custom trip just for us, and we couldn't be happier about it. We also combined it with a trip to Zanzibar, with beaches you can't imagine.
My best recommendations for this, and a special thanks to Sondre who made it all possible. A trip I will never forget.

Great Safari with Bigmac African Safaris
We (6 adults, 3 children) booked our 4days safaritrip with Bigmac Africa safaris and Magdalene was superb with recommendations and information. Once arrived in Nairobi one of our drivers picked us up at the airport and took us to a restaurant for dinner and later to our hotel. The next morning our drivers (Anthony and Bernard) picked us up at the hotel for the journey to Masai Mara. Theese guy's are really great with explaining everything from the great rift valley to every animal in Masai Mara. I really recommed Bigmac Africa Safaris for a Safari trip of a lifetime! We'll book our next trip with them for sure!

3 day safari
We did a three day safari with KiliSmile and had an amazing time! Our guide was Emmanuel and he was fantastic; he knew so much about all the different animals, drove safely but ensured we saw as much as possible and was really friendly and easy to get along with. The cook Salim was also great and prepared some lovely meals. All round amazing experience and would highly recommend.
Amazing experience in Tarangire National Park
We slept at Oliver's Camp in Tarangire National Park the first weekend of December. The roads were perfect and we saw a large amount of elephant, giraffe, buffelo and birds. The welcome at Oliver's Camp was really friendly and informal. The managers themselves greeted us and informed us about the camp rules. Everything was organized great. The game drive was good and the guide was knowledgable. The Camp itself is beautiful. Tents with beautiful view and breakfast on the deck where you can see elephant eating the grass. It was amazing!

Seeing it all!
Trips without Borders helped create the perfect safari. They came to see me in my hotel a few days before I went on safari just so that they knew where I was staying and there would be no delay on the departure day. The safari itself was smooth and without problem.
The drive down was very safe despite the sometimes chaotic Kenyan roads. We stopped for a view of the rift valley and arrived at the Lodge in Masai Mara in time for lunch. I was staying at Old Moran Tented Camp and it was really pleasant with friendly helpful staff.
There was a short safari that first evening and I was very happy with the amount of wildlife we saw. But this was nothing compared to the full day safari that followed. I saw and was able to photograph almost every animal possible including lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, giraffes etc. Ben, the driver, knew just where to look at any given hour during the day.
He even knew a great spot on the banks of the Mara for a mid day picnic.
The trip back was also smooth and timely.
I would highly recommend that you use Trips without Borders - Francis will organise a great trip.

Absolutely charming! No second thoughts.
There is no way I can express how grateful I am to have done a 3-day gorilla trekking safari. The safari was within my budget and the activities were so compact. I enjoyed my trip with gorilla tour booking safaris. You definitely need to be fit for this trip. I had to trail for some time with the guides before we could see the gorillas. My advice is for everyone to get a porter. Well, I was lucky to carry the luggage for myself but definitely after the trip, I felt they were worthy trying. I must say that experiences come and they go but my gorilla trekking safari experience shall definitely stay with me forever. I big thanks to gorilla tour booking safaris, they trailed so much to ensure I had the best experiences. Thank you guys for your hospitality.
