Experienced and competent driver - amazing safari
I've never been on a safari before and didn't really know what to expect. But everything I experienced was far exceeded by my expectations.
The moment we entered Murchinson Nationalpark, we saw many animals. Twah and Wilson spotted animals (especially birds) before we even had a chance to see them. They stopped right away and showed us where to look for them. We continued the tour when everybody had a chance to take as many picturtes as wanted. We saw giraffes and elephants right from the beginning on (evening game drive) and they came so close to our car and yet our drivers never hasseled the wild animals.
Moreover our guides are very competent as they explained the animals' behavior to us and knew all the names (even of the many bird species).
But the best is about to come: I learned that it is very hard to find leopards, hyenas or lions. As Twah and Wilson knew exactly where to look for them we actually saw all three of them.
Being in Africa for the first time, there are so many new and unexpected experiences you gain. Our drivers had a very sympathetic ear for our questions about animals and especially the African culture and never got tired of answering them.
If I visit Uganda again, I will definitely choose Wild Jungle Trails.

Memorable Safari Wedding Anniversary
The service was really excellent from the communication through e-mail from Sylvester. Then, went with our tour guide driver Nick. I like it when Nick will drive so fast just to make sure you will see closely the lions or whatever a must-see animal. We first went to Amboselli, then to Lake Nakuru and then the Masai Mara. I highly recommend Seven by Far. Keep it up guys!

Great experience, very reliable company
My son and I went on a safari to Tsavo West and the coast with them. It was a great experience, we had an outstanding driver (very important on Kenyan roads), the accomodation according to the detailed written information we had been provided with before the trip. A friend of mine who had used them recommended them to me and I woulld do the same!

Unforgettable Wildebeest Migration experience at the Mara!
We booked our trip at the beginning of 2016 and our plan was to catch the much famed wildebeest migration. Our safari consultant answered all our emails promptly through out our discussion and she had proposed that the best time to catch the migration would be towards the end of July. So we booked our tickets for the last week of July and crossed our fingers.
Our arrival was just perefect timing as the wildebeest had started the crossing. We went straight to Masai Mara from the airport and our driver/guide Peter was very helpful and also very knowledgeable. Our lodge Keekorok Lodge was also very comfortable and the food completely exceeded our expectations.
We stayed in Masai Mara for a total of 5 days tracking the migration and I must say that the trip was a complete success! I was able to take enough material for a documentary that I am working on for my phd.
I will forever be grateful to Simba Trails Expeditions for their accuurate and prompt assistance through out the planning and execution of our trip. I greatly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced private safari to Kenya.

Amazing experience!
I was very lucky to stumble into this company online. As a solo traveler, the prices for safaris are absurd in many companies, but African Budget Safaris quoted me for a very decent price and took me for an amazing and unforgettable experience. It was a group safari of six, and for 3 nights and four days we went through Lake Manyara, the Serenget, and the Ngorogoro crater. The guide was one of the best I've had, the cook was excellent, and the vehicle was very comfortable, with open roof, for all of us to see everything. They were wonderful, and they even arranged to pick me up from Moshi. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for an incredible experience.

It was a wonderful experience and Ryan and Lungisani were great guides with so much fun and knowledg
Myself and three friends had a wonderful visit to South Africa and loved the safari with Ryan and Lungisani. The animal sightings were fabulous and I think we managed to see most of the big five as well as other smaller shy animals - honey badger, porcupine and so much more. Ryan's knowledge of the native birds and animals was amazing so we managed to get up his nose not remembering any of them - especially bush bucks. Wonderful trip - I'd recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful, exciting, mike and his co worker were top notch! Unforgettable experience! A must do!!!
Okoa Africa tours had. Clear , professional communications from beginning to end. the staff was extremely professional from beginning to end. They delivered a top notch experience and catered to all our needs. Mike, our Guide, greeted us at the airport to ensure they explained pick up time time and and all details. On the day of pick up, Mike and his partner were punctual and extremely professional. We felt well taken care of. The ride from Kajiado to our Safari site was comfortable and once we arrived at the park, Mike and his partner made sure we had the best experience. They stopped as often and for as long as we needed to allow us to enjoy the beautiful animals and take pictures! They made sure we were as close as possible to the animals and pointed out the most impressive animals . We had the experience of a lifetime and zero complaints. I would recommend Okoa Africa tours to anyone considering a safari and when we return to Africa we will only do business with Okoa Africa rours! Extremely satisfied and impressed customer!!

Best trip ever - totally awesome
I found Jewel of Africa Safaris on the SafariBookings.com site. Neil de Jonge responded quickly and clearly to all of my questions. We booked a 4-day trip that included a guided safari of the Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route, staying at Cheetah Paw Eco Lodge.
Our trip was last month. Andrew picked us up at the airport and showed us an awesome time. We were fortunate enough to see 4 ½ of the Big 5 at Kruger. The leopard was in the ravine behind the bush. We also saw a honey bagger, which our guide told us, is a rare sight. Andrew made excellent recommendations for food and made us feel like family friends. He also recommended the Lion Walk – just amazing. Because we had such a great time, we planning on going back and bringing family/friends with us.
Splendid trip
Went to Kruger in dry season so game viewing was excellent. Saw all Big Five as well as many antelope, hippos, crocodiles, birds, wild dogs, porcupines, hyena, apes, and variety of other stuff. Only missing was young but not the right season.
Was very dry and brown so lot of good sightings around Sabina river and waterworks.
Camp Skukusa was excellent, guides were knowledgeable, food was good and roads were good. Good time to visit SA with exchange rate.
