Best Trip we have ever taken!!
5/5

From the moment we started planning our trip with Gamewatcher's they took care of us. When we landed in Nairobi we never had to worry about another thing. They expedited our trip every step of the way. The transition from camp to camp was seamless and the attention to detail was outstanding. The food at each camp was delicious and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. The guides made sure each day that we had a new and more spectacular experience than the day before. We reluctantly left each camp as we felt like we were leaving good friends. The only problem we had is the standard set by Gamewatcher's can't be met by anyone else and as we contemplate planning a trip to a different destination we know it won't be as spectacular as Kenya was with Gamewatcher's.

Glamping with a great guide
5/5

I found Cape Fig through a tour operator in Lusaka where I live. The price was very affordable and even though they warned me it would be basic, it was a very comfortable camping experience. They have spacious canvas tents where each person has a comfortable cot. They set up a hot shower for you and you are served three course meals fit for a restaurant. Simon is a really great guide and I was very happy to be supporting a local owner run company. I would highly recommend cape fig safaris to anyone looking to have a personal camping experience in Chobe.

Best Experience of My Life
5/5

Taste of Afrika Safari's customer service was impeccable from start to finish. Admittedly, I was a bit worried upon arrival into JRO that my transportation from the airport to my lodge wouldn't be smooth. I was so relieved (especially after more than 20 hours of flying) to see Maggie, from Taste of Afrika, waiting for me at the gate. She was holding a sign with my name and greeted me with a smile. Each day my experience with Taste of Afrika Safaris was enjoyable and interesting. I was always learning about Tanzanian food, music, history, and biodiversity. Maggie was a large part of my experience. Every time I was confused about something (e.g., how to withdraw from an ATM, how long it takes to get to a destination or day trip, any additional quandaries) she would always do her best to accommodate and made me feel comfortable. She understands that travel is fun but can be exhausting too. This is where she shines in customer service. She anticipates clients' needs and comes through! My driver during the safari, Moses, was excellent as well. At one point, I thought that I had lost my wallet. It was early in the morning before we were heading to the Ngorongoro Conservation that I realized I didn't have it in my luggage. Instead of letting me just stress out and find it on my own, Moses came straight to my table with a wallet and asked if it was mine. Indeed it was! He was proactive and did something above and beyond. I'm truly thankful. Thanks, Taste of Afrika Safaris. I had the best experience of my life doing the safari with my two gal pals because of you!

The team went over and beyond to ensure that all our needs were catered for. The communication was brilliant; from the initial booking of our trip till we left. The team dealt with all our queries in such a professional manner

Fantastic Samburu & Mara Safari
5/5

We booked a superb 5 day Safari with this operator who came recommended by a friend who had lived in Nairobi for a couple of years. We did Samburu 2 nights and flew into Masai Mara directly from the ''Kalama' airstrip in Samburu [ saves hours of driving].
The safari tour was perfectly managed and the pricing was very competitive. I would know because I had obtained a quote for comparison from my Nairobi hotel concierge. So this operator is certainly affordable, dependable and will not let you down.

Great Guide Arun
5/5

Great safari tour. It was raining and it surprisingly made our experience even better. Comfortable wise and also the animals tend to go out more in the rain, specially after really hot days (except leopards though). 

We manage to see all major attractions in the Kruger park. It has superseded our exceptions, in part because of Arun, our guide, that has done the extra mile. 

Also as an experienced guide, Arun made it so we could be inches away from several animals and baby animals in such a relaxed way. It wouldn't happen otherwise, none of us would risk it. 

As a service, Legend Safari, is as simple as email Shaheen for princing and booking. Everything is taking care from there.

knowledgeable Guides
5/5

Axis Africa Safaris and our guide and driver Evans were fantastic! The communications and services were prompts and Evans had an expert's insights into the park and animals, knowing where animals tend to be at what time, and how best to get there quickly.

We ended up seeing all the big five, and lots of other interesting animals, during our trip and I would recommend anyone going to Masai Mara to go with Axis.

Great safaris in Kenya and Tanzania
5/5

We (my wife and myself)were referred by past clients of this company- Gates Adventure safaris. We requested for 10 days Kenya Tanzania combi safari . Jose was prompt and answered all our queries. He gave us the best combination and detailed information. We enjoyed the trip as per our expectations since we had the right info. The driver guides both in Kenya and Tanzania were great- Joe and Augustin. We highly recommend them for anyone visiting East Africa. Thanks Gates Adventure safaris

Eddie and his team are outstanding individuals.....
5/5

‘Wonderful trip and excellent handling’Right from my first enquiry, communications with Uzuri Uganda were excellent. Prompt replies, full and clear information given on all aspects of the trip from theircomprehensive knowledge of Uganda, to useful information concerning health, money and security. The itinerary planned for me was well thought out, taking intoconsideration my requests, with attention to detail. I was greeted at Entebbe airportand from there I knew that I was going to be in safe hands with Ronnie, who was my driver/guide for 9 days. As for the safari tour itself, this was outstanding and most definitely lived up to my expectations. Travel was in a comfortable land-cruiser, accommodation was great, the guides very knowledgeable about the country and wildlife. The safari began with a drive to Murchison Falls via Zziwa rhino sanctuary. I was happy to give to the Uganda Rhino Fund who are doing a wonderful job to nurture rhinos that were wiped out in the Uganda national parks before planned re-introduction in the future. The falls at Murchison are a spectacular sight. We continued to Kibale to see chimpanzees, encountered the treeclimbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park on the way to Bwindi for the gorillas. Nothing prepares you for the encounter with the gorillas! We found the gorilla family we tracked in a clearing which allowed us to really view and photograph the gorillas until the one hour was up. But of course the hour was up before we knew it. A baby gorilla came close and touched me and I will never forget this! The food and service at each of the places that Edris chose for me to stay was top notch. As well as the great enjoyment of the trip, I felt relaxed because of the personal service offered by this company. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend them and intend to return with my whole family – again with Uzuri safaris.
