The Pearl of Tour Operators - a fantastic roundtrip in a wonderful country
Last September two friends and myself went to Uganda for 15 days with Kombi Nation Tours. It's been one of the most exciting trips of my life, also thanks to this wonderful organisation.
Pre-departure: setting op the itinerary. I completely read through two travel guides on Uganda so I more or less knew what we wanted to do. I gave them the info on how many days I would want to spend in which National Park / ... Rachel and Benjamin returned very swiftly with a very detailed itinerary and advise on which extra options we would like to take. We negotiated a bit about the itinerary, as they were very flexible, understanding about our budget and always extremely friendly in their mails. 5/5
Our driver Frank was a very skilled driver (which is required on the difficult terrains) and a very friendly and funny guy, who really wanted to get the most out of the trip for us. We also didn't have any problems with the car (except for one flat tire, which Frank repaired), and it was very comfortable and spacey (and pop-up roof, requirement for safaris!) During our trip Rachel & Benjamin also called us to see if everything was going OK, if we liked the activities, etc. 5/5
The housing they provided was above expectations, and the food even more. The activities we did were all very unique and enriching. We started off by going to Queen Elisabeth NP, where we did some game drive, crater drive, boat trip, Kyambura Gorge walk. After that we went to the Rwenzori Mountains for five days (with the organization Rwenzori Trekking Services, which I really recommend as well), to take a stop near Kibale afterwards. The last we did was Murchison Falls, again with some boat trips, game drives and walks. 5/5
All this we got for a very acceptable price (especially when compared to other tour operators). So if you're looking for an affordable, flexible and fulfilling journey through Uganda, I can fully recommend Kombi Nation Tours.

We had our wishes, told these to AT, they organised it quick and perfect for us. 100% satisfied.
We travelled to the North-Serengeti and Zanzibar with Amazing Tanzania. They organised us two great safaris. It was like they told us. Awesome, stunning etc. The accomodations and food were exactly like we wanted it.
We were very happy with every thing they have done for us.
We will recommend Amazing Tanzania to our friends.

Everything was perfect
We went on a Safari in September 2015 with Twaha.
He picked us up in Kampala an brought us with his car to the national park murchison falls.
There we saw a lot of wild animals and stayed in a nice camping space "red chili".
Also there in the Camp we saw some animals at day and night, because some hippos come up from the water.
It was a really nice trip and our guide was friendly.

Excellent Safari to Mikuni National Park
We are VERY satisfied with the trip to Mikumi National Park and Angalia Luxuary Tented Camp. Our driver and guide Nestor was excellent, He was kind, positive, supportive, drove very well, and was very clever to find animals eg Lions ( we saw 15 in Three Days!), showed a great knowledge etc, We will especially recommend him for trips!
The Angalia Luxuary Tent Camp was also superb! A wonderful Place, very comfortale, good food and service.... Angalia can really be recommended!
Best wishes,

The best experience!
I went traveling in Tanzania for about one month with a friend. Nature bound Africa was exellent in assisting us before and during our trip. They organized for us the Kilimanjaro 5 days excursion and the Safari in the Gorongoro national park. They have been really professional and helpful. All the guide also speak fluently English. Definitely recommend this tour operator.

it was like a dream..
We were 25 students on vacation with this company and all we can say is it was like a dream seeing live the female lions chasing the buffalo catching and finally slaughtering it but rather waiting for the male lion to come and eat flesh inside like utensils etc. it was like a dream visiting Oldupai Gorge/the cradle of mankind and getting amazing history, it was like a dream visiting and dancing with young maasai/ol morani, it was like a dream descending into ngorongoro crater with beautiful wall with green natural grass carpet, it was like a dream walking through the base of mount Kilimanjaro... it was like a dream hunting with the bushmen resembling those of the god must be crazy...
We have many memories and stories to tell but we only finalize by recommending this fantastic company for your safari to Tanzania...

Best Trip
We have been longing to visit Africa and East Africa to be precise. After a lot of searches we settled for Kenya Walking Safaris. We wanted to witness the world’s famous wildebeest migration which happens in Masaki Mara. We were four photographers and we were much interested in taking photos rather than the comfort. It was a great experience to see the beasts migrate to other side of Tanzania. As our program had Serengeti included, we asked Mr. Otieno to cancel it and instead take us to Samburu N R. There is a group of tourist that told as what was in Masai Mara was more or less the same, so there we no need to travel to Serengeti through the bad road just for continuation of what is Masai Mara. In Samburu, we were not disappointed as there were plenty of different animals. Our driver Peter was the best and he had a lot of information. He was fluent and also very mature. Our Cook Jacob also was great. He took care of us for those days in the parks. My testimony is endless but would advise anyone wishing to visit East Africa to book with KWSS. Great job guys, you deserve so many stars.

Heartfelt thanks for an amazing holiday, superbly organised and executed by Rose
This was a superb holiday thoroughly enjoyed by all four of us. Everything was just marvellously organised and went like clockwork, even in the most remote reaches of Botswana. The properties Rose chose were very special and so diverse. Nanette at Ghoha Hills in the Savuti was a standout for her truly caring manner. The appointments at Madikwe Hills Game Lodge were six star!!
We would thoroughly recommend The Luxury Safari Company to anyone looking for a wonderful holiday full of special moments and lasting memories. Rose is an absolute professional you can trust. She listens closely to your wish list, is always prompt in her replies and she knows her stuff.

Day out in Pilansberg
I had a weekend in Pretoria on a business trip and at short notice sought out a trip to Pilansberg, which was recommended by colleagues. I have done a fair amount of safari travel in South Africa, but not to Pilansberg. I sought quotes from 3 agencies. One couldn't help, one had a complicated booking system, but Jason Pollard at Deeprift Ventours answered promptly and after a short email chat we had settled on a day trip, leaving at 0400 at my request.
Jason arrived promptly and we made it to Pilansberg at park opening. The temperature poked 40c later in the day, so we had the benefit of several hours of warm but not hot game viewing. Jason was extremely knowledgeable, but not a "pushy" guide. We chatted about the flora and fauna in the reserve and managed to get good sightings of all the big 5 less buffalo. The bird life was very good as well, and the hides at the various dams offered views of a variety of avian species.
We stopped at a game lodge for a very good lunch, and then gently made our way out of the Park (it was now very hot and most of the animals had sought out shade out of view). We were back in Pretoria by 1630.
An excellent day with a professional and generous guide. Highly recommended. I travelled on my own with Jason in a car, but I presume for larger groups Deeprift would provide a minibus or larger vehicle.
