Great national park close to the city. Well worth the time and cost to enjoy nature near the city
Nairobi National Park is a wonderful place to take a day trip Safari. There is a great deal of wildlife and during our time there we were able to spot everything we were looking for. This is a unique opportunity to explore nature, but not have to go a long distance of your way. The costs are very reasonable and the park staff were excellent. I highly recommend a trip to this national park when you are in Nairobi. It is a great escape from the urban environment.

Review about Kenya by Mark.W.E
Kenya has a lot to explore and the nation works very hard to preserve nature and allow its own citizens and the global citizens to see and explore nature unhindered

lovely
Excellent service, trained guides who will do everything to make you feel comfortable and enjoy your trip. Great accommodations around Ngorongoro, Arusha, Serengeti, Lake Manyara
What a wonderful place and experience.
I recommend it completely, one of those trips you should make at least once in your life.

Personal Attention and Care
I was exceptionally grateful for Betty and Moses' care and attention during my trip to Uganda. As an American woman traveling alone I wanted to find a company who I could trust. On the recommendation of some doctors I hired Betty to sort the logistics before I arrived. They were incredibly helpful and sorted out many details. They picked me up directly from the airport and until two months later when I left I was cared for like a sister. They suggested new tour ideas along my route to the clinics and helped me find a clinic when I needed a doctor in Kampala the day before I flew to my next destination.

True Kenyan Experience
If you think of Kenya, the first thing that should come to your mind is Bushtop Kenya Safaris. From start till end, the team did not leave any stone unturned to ensure me and my friends had the most amazing experience of our Kenyan adventure. Our tour guide, Duncan, who has 11+ years of experience, took us to Masai Mara National Reserve for a 3 day 2 night adventure and he is an amazing person who stayed with us right till the end. We would definitely be choosing Bushtop if we got another chance to visit Kenya.

Wonderful people and wonderful safari !!
Everything went OK with our trip with Dusty Roads! On our arrival at Arusha we immediately saw the car from Dusty Roads. Mollel was waiting for us. He drove us to our hotel. Next morning we had a short trip with the family - and we met our driver-guide Jeff. Mondaymorning the car was present at the hotel and the safari could begin. We had booked a 5 days-safari with camping in tents. We had a wonderful time in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Jeff is really a good driver, and has very sharp eyes. He knows where the wild beasts are and knows almost every name of the birds ! The places to camp where all nice - Fanaka was real good and the two camp- sites in full nature - especially in Ngorongoro - were fascinating. Abdi was a very good cook: every meal tastes good - specially the ginger in the food !
It was hard for us to say goodbye to Jeff and Abdi.
If you are thinking of a safari with Dusty Roads, just do it !! You’ll never regret.

Incredible Botswana Safari
Although I visited Botswana before but I have never been to the Okavango Delta. When Andy was telling about how special Botswana is and that it's the place to be, I thought that he was just a good salesman trying to sell it t me. When we arrived in Maun airport and we were transferred by a small aircraft to Khwai River Lodge, the reality sunk in and I could see why Andy was so confident that we will love the place! Belmond camps and lodges in Botswana is the absolute luxury that we never experienced! We paid South African prices!! we paid in Rands and that was an experience to remember for the rest of our lives. We are grateful to Andy and to African Travel Consultants for this amazing trip. If anyone is looking for someone who knows Botswana, Andy from ATC is your man, we highly recommend ATC.

Great set up and trip!
Megan was great at putting together trip options when we were first starting out search. I loved how she laid out the options and worked with us based on our priorities (game drives!). The links that she sent us were pretty good at laying out the properties and such, but the itinerary (down to the nitty gritty) was a little confusing. We weren't entirely sure how many activities we'd have each day at each location. We were a little surprised that the days leading up to the event we didn't hear from anyone from the lodge group or from Discover Africa - everything worked out great, but we were a little nervous as we'd never been to Africa and weren't quite sure what to expect. The other point of confusion was that our trip was always quoted to us in USD and we were told that if we booked by a certain date we'd be guaranteed that rate, however when we were actually charged on our credit card it was charged in ZAR so through the exchange rate it came out higher than what we had been quoted in USD. I understand why this needed to happen, but I think it should have been clear that the quote was actually in ZAR and that the exchange rate would obviously fluctuate.
The trip itself through Sanctuary Retreats was phenomenal! They really took care of us starting from when we stepped out of the airport in Zambia. I love how each of their properties had different activity options so you could do more than just game drives (even though those were the show-stoppers) - but I really enjoyed the mix of water/boating activities as well. We saw all of the Big 5 on our trip and loved how we had the same guide for the duration at each camp. Also be prepared that you will be VERY well fed!

Cheerful, friendly warm welcome
I have used Pro Shuttle services a number of times. The service is always professional, cheerful and friendly.
The rates are very competitive.
I'm glad to see he is branching out into taking tours and I expect these will be good fun and well organised.

3 Day Camping Tour in Chobe
I had a great time. Tony was a great animal tracker. He knew all the people in the park, so every time we passed someone, he would be able to find out where the animal were or weren't (determined which way he drove). He knew the park extremely well and very educated on all the animals. He allowed me to pick if we kept going or watched the animals. He was ready to go whenever I was. Food was good (gourmet for camping) and they did all the tent set up and break down, digging wholes, etc (I just sat, drank tea/coffee and watched). You didn't have to worry about anything but watching animals. Super nice tour guide and had a cook/another help. They did a great job and saw lots of animals.
