Voyage of two naturalists in Africa
We paid for a small groups safari (15 days Kenya-Uganda-Tanzania), but they gave us the chance to be just the two of us, and planned the trip to help satisfy our needs (we wanted to see a lot of animals! And we did!). we made two major changes in the program. Very easy to keep in touch before the trip. Accommodation mainly good (especially the masai mara tented camp (wonderful food), and the campings in tanzania (wonderful places, good cooking, night wildlife encounters!). Just one disappointing night in Boungoma (disco night very loud!!). We didn't expect the trip to Uganda to be so long! But the experience with gorillas was amazing! Some problems in payment from Italy through Western Unions… the guides have been always present and kind and helped us through border customs. Overall, very good job!

Communications and service are excellent.
The game drive was very interessing and the choice of Gary by Biwakwango very appropriate.
We enjoyed doing this thek with Biwakwango and look forward to the next one in october 2014.

Amazing experience
I made last minute plans for my trip and was accomodated quickly within my 5 day "planning" process with paul! I was met and picked up and taken to the masai camp area and had a great time with everyone. The highlight of my trip was seeing the children in the masai tribe while visiting their school. I saw so many animals and also visited lake nakuru, and lake naivasha. The driver, jackson was friendly, knowledgeable, and accomodating as well. The price was affordable,for me and i did a total of 5days 4nights with the tour guide. I felt safe throughout the entire trip and enjoyed shopping and seeing all the wonderful treasures that kenya had to offer. I also was able to do the hot air balloon ride and watch the sunrise. There were so many great aspects of my trip i wish i could describe it all. A huge thanks to paul,jackson, jospeh(masai camp, joseph(hot air balloon guide) and everyone that made the trip so wonderful and special to me.

All my senses were awakened to the natural beauty of TZ by Naenda while supporting children in need.
My husband & I have been on more than one Naenda Safari during the past few years because we were living in Tanzania for several months each year. We have communicated with Jesse Mfoi by e-mails, skype calls, & in person. Of course it is easier to communicate in person than in writing when more than one primary language is being used. However, the information on the Naenda website is very helpful.
We did not know what to expect on our first safari, but each one has been very special because we have gone to different locations and have tried different types of accommodations. Also, we have learned so much about TZ, thanks to Jesse. He and his other guides & drivers are incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the animal life, plant life, and natural history of TZ. He is respectful and has a nice sense of humor while wanting his customers to have a great experience.
One of Naenda's vehicles is set up to take wheelchair users on safari. Two friends of ours who use wheelchairs went with us on one of the safaris. They had a choice of staying in their chairs or sitting in the regular seats in the vehicle and had full uninterrupted viewing. Also we stayed in wheelchair accessible places that Jesse had already checked out.
Naenda Safaris is owned by a Tanzanian which is very rare, so we feel good about doing business with local people instead of a foreign owned company. A part of the company's earnings help support local programs for children with disabilities, which is not done by most safari companies. We feel as though we are giving back to the local community as well as having an awesome experience while on safari!

Professional, price sensitive, entertaining and knowledgeable. Organised the ultimate safari.
By far the most professional travel company we have ever used. Will have no hesitation to use them for all our holidays in the future and tell our family and friends about their services as well.
The magic of wildlife and the beauty of Kenya from all perspectives while staying in luxary tents.
Our safari was over the top.... better than my expectations, even though I had been to Kenya before.
As a professional Travel Director of twenty one years, I do have some suggestions I would like to mail on this survey or seperately,.
Our pre-communications were the only area lacking as I wrote and requested insurance that was never delivered. In retrospect, that's ok since I fortunately didn't need it.
Mark, on the other hand, was quick to get back to me every time I asked him for special assistance with concerns.
I have been on safari's fin SA, Namibia and Botswana and thought this was the best.... ever !
The lodges and parks we visited were each unique and special in their own way.
The top mark goes to our guide, Erastus. He was smiling almost every time I looked over at him and I know four 60++ year old woman could not have been easy. He deserves high marks. I hope the $400.00 we tipped him was sufficient. He DESERVES a raise !!!

Travel in Nairobi, national park & surrounding villages
Moses was our driver, he was great, very knowledgeable & great weaving in & out of traffic in the crazy traffic jams in Nairobi.
His knowledge of animals at the national park was great & he could spot animals before anyone of us.
Communication was great, he pointed out areas of historical & cultural interest everywhere we went & was very patient with us scots, stopping to allow us photo opportunities on many occasions.

Tour to Ngorongoro National Park - Tanzania
Great and very interesting tours with very nice, helpful and funny guides. Car, hotel room and the program was fantastic. We had a possibility to experience most beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
This tour was absolutely perfect for seeing as many animals at Ngorongoro National Park as possible in two days. The bus drivers were amazing, the scenery was beautiful, and the stops we made allowed plenty of time to explore and take pictures. Thanks to Mr Magesa and entire team at Time 4 Africa for made our dream to be true, I will for sure recommend Time 4 Africa to my friends once they wish to visit Tanzania.

Great experience, super helpful staff
Just finished doing both a safari and a Kilimanjaro climb with MJ. Both tours were very pleasant and well organized. Apart from that Jackson (the tour operator) was also really helpful with all the logistics (ticket buying, hotel booking, equipment renting, etc) without extra charging anything. Highly recommended!
