Fantasitc, start to finish
I can't recommend Avocet enough, from start to finish we were looked after brilliantly. Out driver/Guide edgar was top class, as was our cook Hadji - no complaints at all about the food, it was fantastic. Edgar went to great lengths to make sure we got to see all of the 'BIG 5' - I cant find fault with any of the trip or Avocet - 5 stars....

Very professional, available, flexible - I strongly recommend!!!
I thank Ryan for the great support in the organization before the safari and I do thank Doug our guide during 4 wonderful days in Kruger for his knowledge, his patience and his kindness.
This company deserve to be well known and I do recomment to everybody reading my comments not to hesitate. I've contacted many of safari agency and I didn't find more profesionnal than Adventure Anywhere (Ryan is very reactive). I saw many of their competitors on the road of Kruger Park who drives very fast and miss a lot only thinking about Big5 to get better tips at the end (a shame to miss other animals...).
Long life to this Adventure Anywhere !!!

Amazing trip! Thanks to Kenya Walking Survivors!
I had only 2 days available on weekend and I wanted to see elephants. That's the reason why I chose Amboseli National Park. My friend suggested me a few companies to choose from and I decided Kenya Walking Survivors with several reasons including fast response and great reviews. I was right! I got almost immediate response. Then the services were great tailored with budget I had. Amazing tour company. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed.

Photo tour to Masai Mara National reserve
When planning a photo tour, you can never be 100% sure of success. Much depends on the professionalism of the local staff but also from luck. I was lucky in this tour and I saw all interested to me animals, and brought home a lot of positive emotions and photos. And thanks to local staff - they are very positive and did a lot to make a tour successful.

Safari surprise at its best!
The booking went easy via travel agency. Shortly before our departure to Botswana we were informed about the heavy rainfalls during the last weeks and that the itinerary probably had to be changed, due to flodded roads. No problem for us. After arrival, tourguide Eddy came up with plan B, which turned out to be a great alternative. (He already had plans C to Z in mind, since nobody knew about the exact road conditions.) We visited a lot of beautiful places, whatched many many animals, stayed at great campgrounds. And we had a fantastic tourguide and camp crew, who never let us know about the stress they were having with all the obstacles in the stern wash of a cyclone.
The camp gear consisted of large tents (even large people can stand up straight) with en suite bathroom in the back (hole in the ground with a toilet seat, bucket shower), comfortable cots, night stand, a small cabinet. We had the fabulous diner (really, the cuisine à la bush was always delicious and plenty) in the dining tent after sitting around the fire in the evening, having a first drink. Did I mention lunch? Depending on the day's schedule, we had lunch in the camp or a picnic in the bush (always yummy).
Eddy, you are an excellent tour guide, you did just about everything to let this safari of a lifetime come true. You brought us to all the interesting places, let the animals out of the cages just in time, and never got stuck in the worst of mud.
Mano, Steven and Matteo: The best camp crew imaginable, you made the camp a reall home for us.
Thank you all!
My first time Safari
The arrangements were made with Safari Club Ltd by a friend who is a frequent traveller to Africa. She was delighted with her initial phone call and we went ahead with the booking. We knew exactly what we wanted and they carried out the instructions perfectly. Safari Club where thorough in their advice on health, weight on the private planes etc. All our requests were carried out in a very friendly professional way. Whether you are a new traveller or seasoned Safari Club will arrange a memorable Safari trip. I suppose the fact the directors have travelled there many times and know the area so well is a bonus to me as a new traveller
. Little Governor's Camp where we stayed in the Masai Mara was wonderful. Our driver/guide was so knowledge with endless patience we saw all the animals possible.
Our first two nights were spent by Lake Naivasha in Loldia House which is a wonderful house on the lake surrounded by animals and birds. The house is beautiful and food better than any famous restaurant in London. Well worth a couple of days either before or after the safari. Well done Safari Club I hope you will arrange another great trip for us.

caring, considerate, efficient and thorough
more than met expectations and care and consideration continued during the trip. Every detail was addressed and when flight times were not optimal others were addressed and transfers and visits arranged to fill in the time. Edith was particularly caring and friendly.

Best of Africa
We visited the camp as two families in 2015 after reading great reviews about it. The camp on the rocks has wonderful views and plesant service, the maasai staff was very kind and professional. Don't miss the walks on the hill, it's great, kids was really happy with maasai warrior training.

3 days safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro
Hamadi and Rama, our tour guide, are very nice and friendly people, they accomodated our wishes until the very last minute. I organized the safari with Hamadi asking for specific places to stay, and he found great prices in the places I wanted!
The safari went smoothly, and Rama explained us a lot of things about animals and the parks!
I would definitely recommend them and even book again with Face of Africa adventures!

Professional, helpful, organized, value for money
Pamela Wanjugu maintained constant communication with us as soon as we expressed an interested in going on a safari. She was most helpful and friendly, answering every question (there were a lot as this was our first trip to Africa) at all times of the day.
As soon as we arrived in Nairobi, she was on ground with our friendly driver and guide Livingston. They immediately whisked us off to Amboseli National Park, the first stop, before heading to Masai Mara via Nairobi.
Both hotels provided (Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli and Mara Serena in Masai Mara) were exceptional and unique. Great food, surroundings and location.
Livingston was very knowledgeable about the animals and their habitats, and generally had lots of useful information on traveling in Kenya. The game drives were well planned, but he was also flexible in accommodating our request to travel outside the park and get a closer view of Mount Kilimanjaro.
African safaris are expensive when you look at the final price, but totally worth it. We found Magical Retreats and Adventure through a simple Google search and weren't sure at first about the legitimacy. We did a few Google searches and then decided to bite the bullet. But now, speaking from experience, we highly recommend Pamela and her team for a hassle-free African adventure.
