Bwindi Impenetrable National park It’s a Great Park
Our journey from Bwindi Impenetrable National park to Queen Elizabeth National park was enjoyable. I did some bird watching although it was not included in the activities. What I mean is as were traveling to Bwindi, I saw different species of birds and all I did was to gaze at them. At Bwindi Impenetrable National park, I enjoyed the trekking. I came already prepared for it. As we were trekking we received news that the group which were tracking was somewhere so it didn’t take us long before we had an actual view of these great animals. This was really enjoyable. What more could I ask for. The journey was seamless. Thank you Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris for a wonderful adventure

Generous and flexible to meet my safari parameters.
Communications= a small glitch at the beginning relating to the meals of the driver while on safari. On first day at lunch, the driver seemed confused who should pay for his lunch. We had to call Jinja office to clarify.
Expectations= the vehicle was in good condition, it was comfortable. The hotels were nice and friendly. The service was excellent.

Great Safari company - Fourth time I have booked with Bestday Safaris
I have booked with Peter and Bestday Safaris for 4 years (2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015) and I have never been more pleased with a safari company.
The price that I paid for my 8 day safari in the Serengeti was very good. Communications was excellent during the planning of the safari. The whole vacation went perfectly and I truly believe this is just a great overall company to work with. If you are planning a vacation to East Africa, you cannot go wrong by booking with Bestday Safaris.

Once in a life time experience
Our experience was excellent. From the beginning the communication with Erick was quick and he answered all my questions. The itinerary was followed perfectly and our experience was amazing. Next time I would probably skip lake Nakuru. The trip was too long for the time we spent in there. The guide was ok, I would have liked a bit more explanations though. Overall, Masai Mara exceeded our expectations and having done it with Jocky Tours allowed us to enjoy it a lot.
Apart from the safari, we did a city tour in Nairobi as soon as we landed. The driver was waiting for us on time, and the last day they dropped us at the airport.

Fantastic organisation and amazing safari experience
We can't rate our experience in Tanzania with Maasai Wanderings highly enough. We spent 7 days in Maasai Wanderings very capable hands and it was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We spent a night in Arusha, then 2 nights in Ndovu Camp Tarangire, 1 night in Ndutu Lodge South Serengeti and 2 nights in Noana Moru Camp Central Serengeti. The camps were an amazing experience. What stunning, secluded locations within the parks, meaning the animals are just there with you! The staff at the camps were very welcoming and engaging. And myself being quite nervous at being so isolated in the wilderness, they put me at ease. We were lucky that some nights we just happened to be the only people there so we felt we got to know the staff and that made the experience extra special. We were really surprised and impressed at the high standard of the food provided and drinks available in such locations.
And our guide, Clement, well, he just made the experience for us. We bonded immediately and we felt we learnt so much about Tanzania, the animals and the local cultures from him. He was very professional but we had a lot of fun too. We were very lucky with the animals that we saw, but that luck really was down to him doing a great job.
On driving out of Ngoro Ngoro one early evening, we came across a private safari vehicle with clients inside, that had a flat tyre and both spares were flat. Our guide offered what help to them he could but it really confirmed how reassured we felt being with the company we were that there would never be flat spare tyres and in that type of situation we would be rescued no problem.
We appreciated it that we got a call from head office on our way to the airport asking how our trip was.
So, as soon as we got home, we started looking at what other trips we could do with Maasai Wanderings!

Ugandan Safari
Communication was first class - due to the distance we had to communicate by email but Patience was always very quick to reply and would always answer my questions/concerns or help me with any extra queries re: Uganda.
She tailor made our tour for our dates/areas of interest - we even added visits to Orphanages outside our tour which Patience and her colleagues organised as well as took us there!
We ( 2 young women) felt very well looked after and safe all through the Safari. Was a memorable trip that I still talk about to people I meet.
Fantastic service. Would highly recommend. Advanced Travel & Tours went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations.

Introduction to South Africa (Cape Town , Garden Route and Safari).
This was a well planned holiday and the service provided by African Welcome Safari was world class. Everything for the hotels locations to the standard of service whilst on safari , couldn't have gone any better.
Would recommend the service of African Welcome Safari to anybody.

Safari with 2 young children - easy planning, great service and amazing trip
We had a fantastic experience with Kenya Budget Safaris and would recommend them to anyone looking to book an affordable safari. We spent 3 nights at the Sopa Lodge in the Masi and then one night just outside of Lake Nakuru. Planning the safari was easy - Esther was always available by email and then by phone once we were in country. She responded to all of our questions and provided all the details we asked for. She helped us compare costs and benefits of camping v. lodge safari and made the recommendation that we pay extra for a "private" (i.e., just our family) safari, which was fantastic advice. Last minute changes were easy, and we felt great about the price we paid and the services we received.
Because we were traveling with our 7 and 9 year old it made a huge difference to have our own vehicle, make stops when we wanted, leave and return from game drives when we wanted, etc. Our driver, David, was a father himself and struck the perfect balance between kind, helpful, full of information and not intrusive.
I recommend Kanya Budget Safari without reservation!
