WARNING DO NOT BOOK!!
where do I start, first off don't even take a chance on looking at all the other good reviews, we did the same thing. This company is a total scam. I was in contact with Richard for months to book a gorilla safari for our honeymoon. Needless to say he went above and beyond to make you trust him then you send money and then all contact is cut off and your money is gone. The tour never existed, noone picked us up, the hotels we were supposed to stay at had no record of us coming, the worst part is richard sent us FAKE permits. The UWA advised us they were fake and they were never purchased.He was recently arrested for another large scam, this company shouldn't even be allowed to run. We came half way across the world to do a gorilla tour with what we thought was a legitimate company just to be scammed and not be able to do it. We were completely heartbroken. This guy and this company has no heart, they are just out to scam the next poor person who trusts them. We spoke with the UWA & tourism boards and all they did was lead us on. Pretty sure they all work together , you cannot trust them. If you decide to do a tour go to rwanda and pay the extra money where you can trust the people and feel safe and go to the gorgeous volcanoes national park instead. We never got our money back , nor did we get to see the gorillas.....Gatatu safaris are Scam artists and criminals. Please do yourself a favor and make sure these guys DO NOT get your money, they should be shut down

13 days of being eye to eye with Bostwana’s wildlife thanks to a most incredible guide
My family’s experience with Afticanjacana Safari company way exceeded our expectations. We spent two weeks living in the midst of elephants, lions, hippos, zebras, antelopes, leopards and the most incredible birds. Gideon, our guide with 30 years of experience, by often following their tracks, lead us to within just a few meters of these magnificent wild creatures. The first time we came eye to eye with a lioness who approached our open Jeep with her cubs we all felt rather scared. But we soon realized that Gideon, with his extensive knowledge and ability to read the body language of these animals, knew exactly when it was safe to be in close proximity and when it was better to keep our distance. To be so close to these beautiful animals was simply breathtaking! Imagine watching a family of leopards feasting on an antelope it had hung high in a tree fork, or observing a group of 30 elephants walk by your camp site, gently and quietly! While we were initially a little apprehensive about camping in the wild, we learned from Gideon, who has 30 years of experience, how to be completely safe in the wilderness. And speaking of camping: We were not roughing it. Our tents were equipped with cots, mattresses, pillows and sheets and our own private bathrooms in the back. We even had our own portable sinks which were filled in the early morning with hot water (yes heated on the fire pit) and warm showers in the afternoon. The food was delicious and included fresh bread baked daily in a pot on the fire. Lastly, Gideon and the two staff members who accompanied us were lovely engaging people who were very fun to be with and who allowed us to gain some insight into their culture.
Africanjacana, which is very reasonably priced, is one of very few Safari companies that are locally owned (most are operated by South Africans or Europeans) and that is very environmentally conscious. They leave no trace behind. By booking directly with them, and not through a travel agency, we saved a lot of money. This trip was truly exceptional. I cannot recommend Africanjacana highly enough.

Fantastic experience organized by a professional tour operator.
Based on a good experience review from one of my collegues, we decided to book a safari with Tanke Tours. We went for a 8 days experience in Amboseli - Tsavo West and Tsavo East.
Caroline is very professional and a kind lady. The planning was discussed several months before travelling and Caroline was very flexibel for changes in program and lodges. All the lodges were (very) good of quality (accomodation and food). Our driver was exeptional and also flexible in changing the daily program (rest - game drives - ...). The program was intensive, but gave us a incredible experience of safari in Kenya with wonderfull nature/landscapes and very kind people. We had also the luck to see almost all the animals we wanted (lions, cheetah, leopard and much more).
We fully recommend Tank Tours! Thanks Caroline, for this amazing experience!

Well organized safari with good quality accommodations and professional guides
My husband and I booked the first part of our honeymoon (9 days safari through Northern Tanzania) with Flash Safari's. First we were affraid that an organized safari with Flash would be too expensive for us, but luckely Magda really thinks along and helped us to arrange a high quality safari matching our budget.
The safari was very well organized. The hotels (mostly) had a high standard, were clean and served good and varied food. Also we had one of the best guides we ever had during a safari trip. He did his absolute best to find the animals that we really wanted to see and made sure we had the best possible sight. We had a very comfortable and decent car.
Also our additional stay at the Masai Lodge was a highlight of our trip. We would not have chosen that ourselfs, but it was absolutely a experience to remember.
We organized the second part of our trip (Zanzibar-Mafia Island) by ourself. That is something I would recommend other travellers to do as well to reduce the costs of your trip.
We would like to thank Magda and her team for the amazing time and also for the nice extra attentions for our honeymoon. We allready recommended Flash to friends.

Amazing Tsavo West - Amboseli with Bosco and Seven by Far
We did our first safari for 3 night - 4 day safari to Tsavo West and Amboseli. It was one of the best times of our lives.
Our driver, Bosco, did everything humanly possible to insure this trip was comfortable, successful and beyond amazing.
Should you be looking for a Kenya safari - go with these guys.
Next time we visit Kenya, and God-willing we will visit again soon, we will, without hesitation, go with the kind hearted and brilliant Bosco and Seven by Far.
Oh and by the way, when staying in Tsavo, insist on the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge - it is a safari in itself. Animals, of all kinds, by the thousands, visit their watering hole daily.

MORE THAN EXPECTED, PERFECTLY EXECUTED 16-DAYS SAFARI WITH GREAT GUIDE THOYA MADE US VERY HAPPY.
As it was our 6th african safari so we wrote itineraire and choose all lodges. Reasonable price and very good opinions were the reason we decided to make a deal with WildlifeSunSafaris and it was optimal decision. James, the owner was precise and fast with all needed informations and negotiations by e-mail. He wait us at Kenyatta airport.
We asked for Thoya as a guide and James kept this promise and all others.
Car was new and our itinerary was executed perfectly and very smooth.
Thoya is a very good driver, great guide, smiling guy with wonderful sense of humor and finally HQ friend.
We enjoy our trip very much, made over 1500 photos and 3hours film.
We hope we'll make our next safari together with Thoya and WildlifeSunSafaris.
Thank you, guys
