Excellent safari tour from David
We had a great 2 day Masai Mara safari tour from David with a very limited time frame as we were flying out of Narobi at the end of our tour.
He was a great guide going to extra lengths to find the rare animals and we saw multiple lepoards while we were there and a lion.
The tour is affordable, the acommadation is great - not what we were expecting.
Would recommend.

Wonderful experience with a professional great company.
The trip was beyond my expectations. The encounter with the gorillas was amazing. A big thank you to Salim, our guide, very kind and a great listener . He shared his love for his country. The cottages, the traditional meal, awesome stories are all elements of an unforgettable trip, not forgetting the state of the art customer service and hospitality offered during the trip.

Jacko is absolutely the best tour guide I have ever had the opportunity to work with.
This tour was with every ounce of the word AMAZING. The itinerary that was laid out was a great balance to see the whole of Southern Africa and what it was about. The parts of my trip that stand out to me the most include the Lion interaction including a lion walk which was fantastic and yes I ACTUALLY WALKED amongst lions definitely something that you don't do every day. The landscape of Africa was truly a sight to behold as Jacko was able to teach me a lot about the history as well as the different ecosystems that exist in Africa. We had the opportunity to stay at multiple different lodges each with their own unique character and pleasantries. The Bush walk and Kruger national Park is a thrilling experience as you learn about the animals that exist within the park and how they contribute to their environment. Red African Safaris maintains and extremely professional rapport with the companies they work with. And I can say without a doubt that Red African Safaris does not work with anybody that they themselves do not trust. In regards to the animal trainers most of them were moderately humorous making the tour both fun and educational but ALL The animal trainers were very skilled in their craft and made not only myself but the rest of the group feel at ease. In regards to expectations the only thing I wanted to do was have an enjoyable relaxing vacation with the people that I was traveling with, but this vacation far exceeded anything that I could have imagined. But despite the well planned itinerary, the absolutely BEST part of the trip was our Tour guide Jacko, he is what brought the whole trip together. It is very apparent that he is passionate about people, about the wild life and the land and its' history in which he lives. He looked after us, cooked us South African BBQ (which his meals were nothing short of amazing) and taught us all about South Africa. As a physician he even taught me about information that I can use to treat patients who have had run-ins with dangerous animals.
Hands-down this was an absolutely unforgettable trip and I would recommend Red African Safaris to anyone who asked with out hesitation. I myself have already begun looking into future trips with Red African Safaris and of course Jacko as my tour guide.

Jacko created the most extraordinary, educational, and incredible experiences of a lifetime.
Our South African safari was everything we could have hoped for and more. I learned so much, saw so much, and came home with even more memories. It is a tough task to see all the best of South Africa in a 6 day safari, but Red Africa Safaris and Jacko made it happen. From the animal interactions to the waterfalls and canyons, to Kruger national park, this trip was an incredible once in a lifetime opportunity. All the lodging we stayed in exceeded expectations and each one provided a unique experience from the huts in Kruger where Jacko graciously cooked up true south african barbecue overnight (AMAZING) to the chalet we were able to stay in with breathtaking views and amazing guest rooms. There was not a single downside or regret to the entire trip. If anyone ever asks me about a safari, Red Africa safaris and Jacko are the only way to go if you want to truly enjoy your experience and if you want such a uniquely outfitted trip that fits your bucket list checklist. My mother dreamed of interacting with elephants, my boyfriend of seeing the landscapes, and I of visiting Kruger and the conservation centers. Every bucket list item was met in excess and I honestly can say that having our own personal tour guide in Jacko is what made this experience so perfect. His knowledge, personal experiences and stories, and amazing cooking are what ensured that if we ever travel to Africa again we will be requesting that he be our guide! Without hesitation, this is the company to book your trip through and I hope anyone in the future will have the same stunning experiences to last a lifetime that my family and I had.

Value for Money Experience in Uganda with Saso Uganda Safaris
In June, my wife and l with our children planned to make a trip to Africa, We all finalize that we should visit Uganda to such that we trek the mountain gorillas . We contacted several companies regarding our trip to Uganda but we selected Saso Uganda Safaris because their pricing was friendly and also the nature of their package setup was unique.
My family and I have just returned from a two week trip round southwestern Uganda. We visited Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Mburo and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Our driver/guide, Wilson, was a fount of knowledge, a superb driver and a real pleasure to be with for the whole of the trip.
We have come back keen to visit other parts of Uganda in the future and would definitely go to Saso Uganda safaris again. I highly recommend Saso Uganda Safaris to all those we love to travel in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. I will recommend my friends too.

knowlegeable, local operator
We found the operator very helpful and knowledgeable about nature/ wildlife in Tanzania. At the time of booking, we knew very little about safaris and national parks in Tanzania; when we visited, we were well informed, nothing was left out in terms of animals, culture and the cultural people-maasai.

Nice experience in Kruger NP
Andre Retif and Kavi (from Kruger Adventures Lodge) are just fantastic. Andre was always available to assist us. The service provided in the lodge was remarkable. The staff was absolutely nice and happy to receive us. The meals also, just well served and delicious. We really felt better than home and that is something to highlight, definitely.
About Kruger Park, it is a nice place. It is really quite different from other places like Okavango, Serengeti or Ngorongoro as it is not that wild and is also very crowded. There is a Golf Course (Skukuza) in the middle of the park, which I found very disturbing and non-sense.

Great experience
Barak and his team are just amazing. Logistics of a journey like this were complex but very well managed. Really professional staff to deal with every aspect. In our case, car broke down coming from Virunga to Goma (those things happen) but they solved it in a heartbeat so we really tested what they are made of, and those guys are for real. The journey was completely wonderful. We visited gorillas in Virunga. The park rangers have everything controlled and make a great job taking care of those magnificent creatures. The following day we took a boat trip to Bukavu (from Goma). The following day we went to visit the gorillas in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park and after that, we came back to Kigali (Rwanda) in a very nice trip. Totally recommendable.
