Peace of mind
Found Chris at the Safari Partners online and he proved to be a fantastic resource during the planning and booking of our 3-week African vacation. He arranged a NBO Airport pick-up for us as well as the entire Rwanda portion of our vacation. There is something so comforting about stepping out of a busy airport to see a smiling face holding up a sign with your name on it! Stress-free and peace of mind!
The advice was excellent and the local company we were connected with were obviously top-notch. Everything went off without an issue and we were able to simply focus on enjoying the sights, scenery, wonderful people and the animals (gorillas!!!) of Rwanda. A country not to be missed!
Review about Chobe National Park by Alan J Castle
Camping along the Chobe River is an awesome experience. There is a massive variety of game including Roan & Sable antelope as well as huge elephant and zebra herds. There is also a lot of excellent bird life including pelicans, storks, egrets, fish eagles, huge flocks of carmine bee eaters, marsh cormorants, the list just goes on and on. The nightly crossings by elephant herds across the river into Namibia are great spectacles.

A wonderfull Eight-Day-Safari
Asante Sana!
Our safari was a dream! We experienced a 24 – hours – all – inclusive – service. Who would ever expect a three – star – menu at a campsite in Serengeti!? Our cook Ben real did surprise us ever every day with new meals! Our guide and driver Isaac was well informed and we were always at the right places to see all the animals. It is not surprising, that we saw all the big five and additional Cheetas and a lots of other animals. At every day of our eight days safari we had a new highlight. We real enjoyed a very individual safari and never had the feeling of just being part in a standard program.
We were the only guys traveling far into the Western - Serengeti to see the migration and during our morning safari we were the first ones to find two Cheetas! Very impressive, also the night at Simba Campsite with a view into the Ngorongoro Crater. To sum up, we had experience for our life. Thanks again Mike for taking care of us! We really “felt safe in your hands!! (As we say in Germany) and wish you all the best for your future!

We have enjoyed our Safari immensely and would recommend Aslan Adventure Tours and Travel to anyone.
In September we (my friend and my parents) made a wonderful Safari to Maasai Mara and Lake Elementaita. Karancha, the driver from Aslan Adventure Tours and Travel arrived early morning to pick us from our Nairobi Hotel. We decided to use a Landcruiser instead of the more common safari vans you see nowadays. The vehicle was very clean and well kept. A brief stopover at “View Point” provided us with beautiful sightings over the Great Rift Valley. The Tour Guide from Aslan Adventure was able to provide us with an abundance of information about wildlife, nature and local traditions.
We have stayed in a lodge for two nights, the lodge is operated by local Maasai. Karancha was able to find all animals we requested, we have seen the entire Big Five, except for the Rhino that is. One of the highlights was spotting a Leopard that had dragged its prey into a tree. On the second day we were able to take lunch outside the vehicle, under a big acacia tree we enjoyed seeing a large herd of wildebeest while we finished our lunch packets. It is advisable not to start daydreaming while seated on your blanket, after all you are still in a game reserve.
On our way back to Nairobi we have spend one night at an eco lodge on the shores of Lake Elementaita. Lake Elementaita might not be as well known as for example Lake Nakuru or Lake Naivasha but it offers a serene and relaxing environment and it is a paradise for bird lovers.
We have enjoyed our Safari adventure immensely and would recommend Aslan Adventure Tours and Travel to anyone. Next year we will most definitely request their services to organize a trip to Samburu.

My family and I have had extremely fantastic experience travelling with Maasai Magic Safaris
My family and I travelled with Maasai Magic Safaris for Christmas holiday in Africa. The company was recommended by a friend who also happened to have fab time in Tanzania with them in 2011!We decided to email this company and communicated our wishes to Africa and guess what, they gave us superb options and we picked the first one on the spot as they relayed more than we needed for an African safaris for us and after that wired the money to their account for our reservations and notified us of the bookings immediately. We were met with flowers by their representative at the airport and transferred to a hotel for an overnight stay and this gave us another big note of the quality of the travel company we were travelling with, they took care of us unexpectedly and showed us how great their country, the friendly people and the amazing wildlife. We took over 4000 pictures during this tour and need time to sort them out to show to our friends back home!

Amazing experience!!!!
We did the 4 days panorama and kruger tour, and the whole experience is fantastic!! The service provided exceeded my expectations. The punctuality, knowledge and consideration of Nick our guide were extremely remarkable. The accommodation, the vehicles and the meals are very good. We got to see the big 5, and many other animals with their babies, i we were lucky to see a fight between baboons and wild dogs. A definitively recommendable tour!!!!

Absolutely fabulous trip!
I've been on one safari before (Tanzania), which was organised locally and was so so. The trip with Indigo Safaris however completely lived up to my expectations. I intentionally didn't want a "mass market" trip and that's exactly what i got. Christopher paid a lot of attention to making sure all seven of his guest's requirements were catered for before and during the trip and that we got on together (in a small group this could have been a real problem). The trip was organised to a very high standard, using excellent equipment and wasn't at all mass market: our itinerary fitted in an excellent selection of game spotting opportunities, some cultural moments (with a real sense of a relationship between Indigo and the tribes we met) and a lot of fun! I will certainly be going on other trips organised by Indigo and i'm telling all my friends about them, if only so other people can share Christopher's recipe for "plains game bolognese" :D. Overall a fabulous trip and one i'll remember for many years to come!
