After a LOT of research we found the perfect agent for our safari.
Trying to decide which budget safari to choose was not and easy task. There are so many options and it is hard to find in the Internet references to them all, that is why we hope that our review helps other travelers to make their decision in which company to choose . There are thousands of options and for us the best thing to do was to go personally visit the offices of different companies to help us on the decision. We exchanged emails with at least 15 companies and pre selected 6 budget safari companies to talk face to face. Kenya Budget Safari was not the company with most reviews by far but I must say that Esther was surely the best in customer relations. She told us step by step how things should happen, she was very sweet and helpful and we felt really comfortable dealing with her. They delivered exactly what was promised and beyond.
Me and my wife surely recommend Esther services and we can say that we had one of the most amazing experiences on our 2 year travel around the world. Thank you Esther, thank you Kenya Budget Safaris.

Great experience
Safari Multiways staff is very friendly and helpful. Moreover, the opportunity to design your own safari experience is great. We did a hiking route with two masais and 3 masai donkeys plus a cook (Moises). All of them did a great job and we really enjoyed our stay there.
The pick up/drop off service from/to the airport is really useful.

The most sincere, full, fun, personal and professional service
Matunda Cultural Tourism and Safaris service has made my whole one month stay in Tanzania so unique. Since the day my partner and I arrived in Tanzania, Kayaa (director of Peace Matunda) not only welcomed us and helped us plan the rest of our travel but has organised the best safari experience for us. We had selected a budget option, camping in different parks and enjoyed every single second of it all. We also got to visit so many authentic Tanzanian experiences from day walks, treks, climbs, food, coffee making, visited tribes, hunt with them, spend a day dancing, singing. No words can describe how lucky and safe we felt at all times. And the best part of it all was what a remarkable person the owner of Matunda Cultural Tourism and safari is making his company, collaborators and team one of the best safari providers in the country. What's more he has welcomed us to his house and has allowed us to spend time at the school and orphanage he is running- most of his proceedings from tours go into funding this special place. I couldn't recommend it any stronger. I real hope more people will get the opportunity to experience the beauty of Tanzania in this way.

Ruaha and Zanzibar. Rekero and Naboisho
We have travelled with Asilia to Kwihala camp in Ruaha, followed by Matemwe Lodge Zanzibar in Sept 2014 and then to Rekero Camp in the Mara followed by Naboisho conservancy in June 2015. The quality and service in all of the camps is consistently high. The organization of bookings from the Cape Town office has been first class and for South Africans making use of their amazing local resident rates (often out of high season to get really low rates) Asilia will always be my first choice. The quality of guiding is unbelievably good and we have been blown away by the experiences on all legs of our trips.

Amazing Safari!!!
The safari was amazing from start to end. Esther (Kenya Budget Safaris Travel Consultant) was very kind and attentive all the time. She provided with detailed information and got us a very good deal for the hot air balloon safari. The driver/guide (Robinson) was very professional, kind and responsible. In addition, he was extremely knowledgeable about the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru parks. To summarize, my wife and I had a lot of fun and an amazing time. We are looking forward to our next visit to Kenya.

Encompass Africa planned and delivered our dream African holiday.
When we first met Jono & Danica from Encompass Africa at a travel expo in Adelaide we were impressed with their approach and their obvious passion for and knowledge of Africa. Jono is from South Africa and travels back there regularly so you are dealing with a company that has local knowledge and that gave us confidence that we would be getting expert advice.
When we were ready to plan our trip Jono spent time talking to us on the phone, providing detailed information and options and taking our budget into account. A personalised package was then put together for us.
Before we left for Africa we received a detailed itinerary including contact details for the places we were staying and the travel partners in Africa. We travelled independently and it was reassuring to know that we had private car transfers organised to pick us up and get us to our hotels/ lodges/ the airport/etc.
We were very happy with all aspects of our trip including flights, accommodation & transfers. The highlight of our trip was a wonderful 3 night safari experience at Kapama Buffalo Camp in South Africa.
In all of our dealings with Encompass Africa we have found the travel consultants to be friendly, helpful and efficient. Upon booking we were given a timeline of when final payments were due, when our travel documents would be provided and a very comprehensive guide with information on the countries we were visiting, luggage guidelines, foreign currency, what to pack, etc. This was really useful & very much appreciated and ensured we felt as prepared and ready as we could be leading up to our departure.
We would definitely recommend Encompass Africa when planning & booking an African holiday.

Safari and Tribal Adventure
What an exciting trip! My only company was Paul, my driver who was fantastic. He looked after me as if I were his grandma. His eyes were sharp. I don't think he missed one little movement that was worth some attention. He would spot a leopard in the fork of a tree from far away. He was able to anticipate situations. Once we saw a herd of elephants standing tucked together in the shade of a tree. There were many tourists in many cars watching. The elephants started moving slowly on, one after the other. The cars drove off. Paul said, "They are heading for water!" We slowly moved in the same direction as the elefants and discovered a water hole. We stopped close by. What an amazing sight! One by one , little ones, big ones, everyone walked steadily into the cool water. They rolled, showered, sprayed, drank and trumpeted in sheer joy!
I saw just about every animal possible, even a black rhino. To me it looked like a big thick sausage towards the horizon. I just had to believe Paul. He was right! At home on the zoomed-in photo I can see the horns!!!
On this trip I came in close contact with 3 tribes which was a once in my lifetime experience.
The accommodation was excellent (even though I downgraded somewhat) and everywhere we stopped the staff was friendly and helpful. Not to forget the two fantastic local guides, Mossa and Tobias, who both spoke beautiful English and their knowledge was bottomless.
There was a lot of driving ca 2400km. In Serengeti the roads were rough and dusty.
I am very happy I chose Ajabu Adventure for my first Africa experience!
