I was very impressed with their service, their pricing and the professionalism of their employees.
Been on couple safaris before, in Kenya & Botswana, and in the US. My experience with Helinas Safaris was absolutely the best I've ever had. And you can be sure I'm keeping them for all my future Africa tours.
Every one at Helinas has some kind of magic at what they do, it started from that first inquiry telephone call I made (I was just shopping around for service and ended up closing a deal). The consultant was a master at her art, she had all the info at hand like she knew what I was going to ask next. Her adeptness and swift in her prowess instantly won me over. I had no doubts going forth with them. Barely minutes after that call I got an email with my itinerary, precise as we'd talked over the phone; a 10 day family escape to Amboseli and Samburu. Three weeks later we were in Nairobi and and quite excited to be back a second time in barely two years.
Our tour driver was another charming fella. Very skilled in both city and countryside driving, he knew how to do his math right and get us to our stop overs at the right times. He literally cut away what would otherwise be the boring part of the journey. We got to go to couple curio shops, the market and two hotels on our way, his eloquence was quite handy in negotiating prices with the locals.He was quite knowledgeable too and all the way he was narrating interesting stuff about the places, people and life in general. He had a charisma and the kids enjoyed listening to him. We enjoyed every bit of the journey.
At Amboseli our lodge and the service there was exceptional. Same with Samburu. Everything went exceptionally well, our reservations were perfect. Kenya is a beautiful land, the people are nice and our tour with Helinas Safaris only crowned this goodness.
I probably should've started with their pricing. Their rates are quite reasonable,not cheap (their services are not cheap anyways) but they are not exorbitant. You will get value for your money. And at no point we had any worries or regrets hiring their services. Thank you Helinas Safaris.

A good experience
We contacted the company as we didn't manage to find a suitable lodge + safari, it was too late for booking and we didn't have good knowledge of the country. They handle everything and found us a beautiful lodge at Indlovu River Lodge. Which we highly recommand. I thank them for this help at a suitable price.

Regional organises good safari program particularly the part at Serengeti.
My husband and I had generally good impression about the Regional Tours & Safaris. We were satisfied particularly with our program arrangement and log location. The whole safari left us very good and deep impression at each every stop where we stayed. Tanzania is truly a beautiful country. We shared our good safari experience with our friends and recommended them to choose Regional as their agency for their safari trip in Tanzania.

Birding trip to the Eronogo Mountains in search of Namibia endemics
My husband and I joined Nick of Nature Travel Namibia for a short birding trip to the Erongo Mountains. This location was chosen for the many endemics we might see and the spectacular granitic Erongo Mountains. Nick took care of all the arrangements from our arrival in Windhoek, including booking us into a guest house that provided good birding in their garden and better birding a short walk away at Avis Dam. We stayed at the Erongo Wilderness Lodge where we enjoyed comfortable tented accommodations, great meals and friendly service from the lodge staff. Our morning and afternoon walks netted us over 50 birds and 7 of the 8 anticipated endemics along with some antelope. As geologists we really enjoyed this setting and Nick found a fabulous minerals shop in nearby Omaruru that we visited before returning to Windhoek. We hope to return soon and join Nick for another birding trip in Namibia.

Amazing experience!
We worked with Ute in planning the safari as part of our honeymoon. Ute was very responsive in catering to our requirements as she customized the safari for us based on our interests and duration. The whole package including the lodge and the safari tour was great; special shout out to Laughing Waters Guesthouse for their amazing hospitality.

Our 10 Days Honeymoon tour to Uganda
I like game drive so much because I have done it in most parts of Africa: Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. So during our honey moon I decided to do the same activity but in a different country which is Uganda. After having learnt about the many activities that are available in the country , I decided to centre our trip around game drive. This was by far the most astonishing game drive that I have taken. I loved it and my husband enjoyed it. My husband is not that an adventure traveller, he had travelled twice as an adventure traveller so having this journey was really special for us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank gorilla tour booking safari for all they endured during our trip. The climax of the journey was when we saw Uganda Kobs, warthogs, tree climbing lions bush bucks and gorillas in bwind

Very good experience and was easy to deal with
The tour was my first safari in Africa. It was an amazing experience and exciting time very well enjoyed. The initial communications and arrangements were very good. Picking and dropping were on time and punctually done by drivers. The accommodation was marvelous and so food. All was excellent and I would like to thank the whole team and especially Martha. Hope to join you again for another safari trip.
