Wonderful experience
This was our second safari with Flash and we loved it. Every detail was well planned by Flash and they were prompt in answering my many e-mails. We felt very confident using Flash again after our first safari went so well with an excellent itinerary and with an experienced guide. This time we spent 11 nights in tented lodges and camps selected by Flash and they all exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Loy, was the best! He was warm, personable, had a sense of humor and keen eyes for spotting wildlife. He was very experienced and shared his Maasai culture with us adding to our experience. I can highly recommend Flash having booked with them twice and will definitely use them again in the future.

Very good value for money!
We did a 6 day budget safari with Karibu safaris. We Went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Amazing safaris! Prepare for long days in the car though, Kenya is a vast country and traffic is slow.
We chose Karibu safaris due to the reviews on safaribooking.com and everything went according to plan. Our guide was very keen on showing us everything important and we saw so many amazing things! A trip of a lifetime!
As we were travelling on a budget the accomodation was budget and the bathrooms of low standard, not always warm water, toilet that might not flush etc etc. But it was fine for five nights.
The food was plenty but not always super tasty according to our nordic palate. Bring a few bags of crisps and you'll do fine.
I would reccomend that you get a written contract that specifies what's included in your trip and bring it on your tour. We didn't have a problem but other guests (maybe other tour operators, not sure) had discussions about transfers to the airport etc.
Over all I would highly reccomend this safari if you're on a tight budget but want to see as much as possible and don't mind low standard accomodation.

The most amazing Maasai Mara trip with best experience ever.
The February 4Th 2017 trip with HomeAway safaris so far is the best thing this year. Right from the most understanding driver and tour guide who helped us enjoy the trip by getting in touch with his game drive team made us get a glimpse of what we anticipated in the trip; the wildlife, scenery and and camping experience was all amazing.
I wont hesitate to have another trip in the coming months to other destinations with home away safaris.
Thanks for your hospitality.

Best Animal Encounters Ever.
Our hostess Carol, is like an excellent glass of champagne, bubbly and refreshing. She also demonstrated both Business Acumen and Biological Sensibility to those of us that were lucky enough to be her guests. I imagine that her ability to charm drivers, guides and other service personnel, into scrambling to fulfill our needs, is hard to equal amongst her peers in the industry. The scenery and the animals that we encountered were no less than spectacular and I can hardly wait for our next adventure with Gorilla Link Tours.

ACZ Safari
We had a great time with ACZ Safaris! We took the four day safari to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The Masai was beautiful and we saw all of the big 5 (except rhinos, which aren't in the park) multiple times. The food was very good as well. Lake Nakuru has some beautiful viewpoints, and we loved the hotel we stayed at there (the budget option). There was a pool and gardens, and the food was also very good. Both of our drivers were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and were very accommodating in trying to help us see the animals that we really wanted to see. We did a group safari and had a great time with all of our fellow travelers and made lifelong friends from around the world. Would highly recommend!

Excellent trip!
I booked a 5 Days Walking Safari in Chyulu Hills with Blue Mountain Trekking Safari and I was more than satisfied with their services. In particular, I enjoyed the reliable services in booking this trip by Ann and the great company of Charles, Francis and Daniel. They were very kind and knowledgable of the nature but also the people and Kenyan society. Because I travelled alone, the interesting conversations and the wonderful food, made for a very enjoyable trip. Thank you again so much for your great hospitailty and care.

Trip of a lifetime in Uganda
We recently returned from a week in Uganda and it was one of our best vacation experiences ever. Between the two of us we travel often (over 70 countries) and have done a safari previously in Africa but the trip set up by Experience Uganda ranks right up at the top. From the moment we arrived at the airport until the final day we left, Kevin and his team took fantastic care of us and we could tell they pay close attention to every detail. We couldn't give our personal guide Michael a higher recommendation. His knowledge of the area, friendliness, passion for the wildlife, patience, and sense of humor made for a wonderful time. We never once worried about where we were headed next or meals and lodging because Michael had everything so well organized. We just sat back and enjoyed the beautiful countryside and incredible wildlife. The chimpanzees, tree lions, and gorilla tours were among our favorite days as we're sure they are with most, but even in the time between activities we were able to visit locals, stop by an orphanage, and experience a lot of the area that we'll remember just as much. It really was a trip that we'll never forget and I'm certain that was in large part to the service and quality provided by Experience Uganda. I would generally attempt to include a few negatives about a trip as well but if there was any at all it would be that we cut it too short and would have benefitted from an extra day or two down in Rwanda. We can't thank Kevin and Michael enough!!

Amazing experience
We explored Kruger's great wilderness in a very different way. Far from the crowd, completely off the beaten track, on a small 4x4 convoy, through the wilderness of Letaba Ranch and the Makuya Reserve, both part of the Greater Kruger. We crossed rivers and negotiated sand tracks in the bush, gathering around the fire and sleeping under the stars. A real adventure with everlasting memories.

Amazing
I just have a lot of praise for Matoke Tours.
A very smooth and friendly treatment of my questions.
Once in Africa it has surpassed all my expectations.
I've had the trip of my dreams. Short, but perfect.
All credit goes to Caleb, my guide. He was an incredibly good guide and perfectly managed to show me everything that was possible.
I am a very satisfied customer and I'll definitely be back.
Best regards and thank you for the realization of my dream.
