Magic scenery, amazing wildlife, unique experience, but the car broke 3 times...
The scenery and the experience was one in a lifetime.
The guide (driver) was very nice, took us to the good spots and we managed to see amazing wildlife.
The cook we had with us was also great and ate some delicious food.
Unfortunately the car was very old and let us down multiple times.
Overall the experience is something I strongly recommend but I counln'd leave out that the car gave us troubles.

Wildlife
My accommodation, food and transport to Ndaka at Nambiti game reserve was excellent and so was the weather and wildlife. Our game ranger and staff went the extra mile and had sighting of 4 out of Big 5

Outstanding guide is key to outstanding experience
Our guide Yuda was outstanding, and that made all the difference. He was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and determined that we see as many animals as possible--many times in unique situations. For instance, we were able to see a small pride of lions feasting on a dinner of recently caught gazelle. This was likely good luck, but good luck tends to follow experience and instinct, and Yuda has both. Yuda is also an amazing driver; he navigated the vast (and for the most part, unsigned) Serengeti as if it were his back yard. It was a bumpy, dusty ride, but we always felt safe. In addition, Yuda has a keen eye for photographs. At animal sitings he always positioned the safari jeep so that we had the best angles for our photos. Good guide = good photos. We travel a lot, and Yuda was one of the best guides we've ever had--perhaps the very best.

Making Memories for a Lifetime!
Africa is a very special place as it is one of the last frontiers on the planet where we can see an abundance of flora and fauna in their natural setting. And to visit it without disturbing the area is the only way I like to visit Africa. So I look for conscientious guides that care about their culuture and want to show off their country. But to still be immersed as much as I can in the culture and the people.
Aenea Makoninde's Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club is a premier way to see Kilimanjaro! The guides cater to your needs so that it's not an arduous march and you enjoy pushing yourself but not too much; let's face it, we didn't want a marathon race for a vacation, right? The guides are well versed in the local flora and fauna to educate us as we trekked along.
In Africa, things happen; to say it nicely. And so it's important to have people that are efficient and flexible to roll with the punches so that your trip is successful. Aenea's guides handled all issues flawlessly.
The food was fantastic! It was a great mix of quality comforts of home with some specials from the African continent. I love the variety of fruits that we don't see in the U.S.
So, if Kilimanjaro is on your bucket list, then Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club will make it a wonderful cherished memory that will last a lifetime.

Ken stole our money
My girlfriend and I booked a 4-day Gorilla and Chimpanzee safari with Ken that was supposed to take place from November 10 – 13. We paid $2608USD upfront for the pair of us for this tour. Ken failed to deliver all aspects of this tour. We were supposed to receive a refund in person in Kigali on November 13, but Ken showed up with no money. He then promised to refund us by November 20, but there was nothing. On November 27 we were supposed to get a full refund, instead we received a partial refund of $570CAD (we live in Canada), about $430USD, but we are still owed $2178. We were then told December 6 that we would receive the rest of the money, but nothing came.
When we first met Ken in Kigali we had some questions about a few recent negative reviews he had written about his businesses. He had excuses for every one, and how the client was wrong and trying to slander him. We gave him the benefit of the doubt, and we were wrong. Do not book with Ken or any of his tour companies. He stole money from us, he has waisted countless hours of our time, and he does not take responsibility for any of it - it is always somebody else's fault. Reports regarding Ken and Congo Discovery Safari Company Limited (incorporated in Kampala on September 19, 2018) are being filled with both the Rwandan and Ugandan Tourism boards in hopes that other travelers do not have to endure what we had to endue in dealing with Ken and his company.

Get Over Yourself and Go! And make sure you go with Apollo
It’s all about the experience. It’s about knowing yourself well enough to know what kind of traveler you are and what you want to see and do and try and explore. Which for me meant being fortunate enough to have a guide who was driver, teacher, mechanic, wisdom figure, cultural interpreter and connector, and all round good guy.
It is nothing short of life-changing and completely memorable to go to Uganda and Rwanda with Apollo. I give him my highest recommendation.

"EXCITING EXPERIENCES"
Thanks to Jadi Africa Safaris for giving me an amazing experience during my 4 day safari. What can be said about the famous Masai Mara that hasn't already? It's simply one of the most amazing destinations that one could contemplate. The variety of the animals and birds is simply beyond compare. I have been into Masai Mara before but have never had enough of it, It always gets better when I tag my friends along. Communication between me and Jadi Safaris was amazing from day one of email to the last day. Thanks to Mercy who answered all questions that I asked whether vie email or WhatsApp. The Jadi team was so transparent with everything starting with the itinerary, and what to expect. The package fee was quite accommodating for both budget and luxury. The guide was a experienced one and with knowledge on all animals that we come across. The accommodation were great, food was delicious and tasty. I recommend Jadi Africa safaris for all people. They give you the best experiences.
