Very nice Safari-Trip with nice driver and a lot of African charme
It was an undorgettable and unique experience to go on safari! I especially liked the fact doing it with a Lokal agency and a very local driver. A highlight was the private cook who accompanied us some days During the Safari. Cook and Driver were very professional and a very humourous Company! All in all I would book with Kikwetu Cultural Adventures again!!

Memorable, Refreshing Wildlife Safari.
We had a memorable, refreshing vacation with Gorilla tour booking safari team. We (me with my wife and a cousin sister) chose 7-day gorilla trekking safari. Pre-travel communication and arrangements by their travel consultant was excellent. He is a real professional. He accommodated all our requests and provided necessary information and suggestions, we benefited from his insights. Airport pick-ups & drop, and hotel transfer were on time. Our driver/ guide, Peter was the best guide one can ever get on a safari trip; he is very knowledgeable & ensured we saw the gorillas as we wished, he advised us on which group was best for us to trek. My wife enjoyed the nature of Uganda. The country is blessed with green and hilly mountains.
All of us had different expectations. My wife likes nature and I remember her looking through the car window as we were heading to the park.Personally, I was more interested in watching these gorillas especially the silverback after having read so much about it. This was my moment when we were at the park. We went up to the mountains trekking the gorillas, and finally I saw this leader. I was so much filled with joy that I almost forgot all about the briefing that they had given us before. Sure, when I saw this animal, I felt like I had met a great friend whom I had to share with. It was a great experience for all of us.
We had enough time to visit several crafts markets where we bought several for almost every family member. I have pondered about bring a family of 12 next time. I know it shall be costly but the service is worth the value for the money.
I send my sincere thanks to all of you employees at gorilla tour booking safari limited. Thank you for making our trip so easy, enjoyable, and comfortable.

Trip of a Lifetime!!
My son and I went on a 5 day safari with ANDA and had an incredible time. After researching safari companies, I found a huge range in prices. ANDA was one of the most reasonable. Some companies were charging over $1000 per person/day. That seemed crazy so when I found ANDA I was thrilled. On the first day, we were picked up at the hotel in Arusha by our guide who greeted us with friendliness and enthusiasm. Over the 5 days, we visited spectacular sites and saw even more animals than we had hoped for. Our guide, Omary, was incredible. He knew so much about the land, the animals and the Maasai people. He was always happy to share his knowledge with us and it was clear that he is passionate about what he does. He encouraged us to ask questions and was always attentive to our needs. One of the most impressive aspects about our guide was that he just seemed to "know" where to take us to find large groups of animals. It made the safari so interesting. Definitely bring binoculars (although ANDA provided one in the jeep) and a great camera with a telephoto lens. The tented cabins we stayed in were all comfortable and had electricity (certain hours) hot water available. However, there are major differences in the accommodations. There is choice in where you stay so I recommend asking questions and communicating your needs/desires if you are picky in any way. You can go low budget, high budget or in between. The manager, Remsi was very helpful. I would recommend researching "fair" tips for your guide and the lodge staff and tipping within those guidelines. All in all we had the trip of a lifetime!!

Great Safari Experience
Hello to all the team Africa Remote Safaris,
We did a safari from 13 to 27 July, my son and I would like to thank you that everything was perfect. Seeing all these animals from their natural habitat was magical and proves that there really is very beautiful things to see on this planet.
Kenya is a beautiful country with diverse landscapes and Ken our guide was able to show different sides of the country. As for Brian, our cook,we say, it was perfect. And most importantly, no problem for us tourists compared to recent events in Kenya. Very nice holiday and hope to come back one day.
Thank you to all of you

Great Safari with Africa Remote Safaris
WoW !!! Great trip! A big thank you to Steve for organizing our itinerary. We had a great time with our guide / driver and Dominic our cook.
Our journey began on July 18 with the home of Steve at the airport and meet Kenneth Gawo the next day. Here we left for the safari. The Masai Mara is obviously unbeatable to see the multitude of animals. In four game drives with a full day in the park, we saw four of the Big Five with Ken. We made a short stop at Lake Nakuru to find the rhino, the last of the Big Five. Have coffee on the porch of WCK guesthouse is very relaxing and magical. However, we have a little less relaxed at Roberts Camp Lake Baringo since hippos roamed the site overnight. Beautiful experience! from Baringo, we went to a few hours at Lake Bogoria to see the flamingos and geysers. We loved this landscape and diversity. Before heading to Amboseli, Naivasha we stopped for a walk to Crescent Island. This place is worth the trip as we look at the zebras, wildebeest, gazelle and bucks of a different perspective. Dominic(our cook) unfortunately left us before because at Amboseli Kibo logde we had a buffet. We would have preferred to keep our cook! The most incredible view from this lodge with Kilimanjaro. I miss having breakfast at there. The droughts of the past years are felt on the park since there are not many animals. In nine days of safari, we traveled over 1600km without counting the game drives. The road is very difficult to several places and tiring.
We tip our hats to Ken for his work and for its friendliness. We had great conversations together. Dominic was able to fill our tummies with each meal with very good creamed vegetables, stew, pasta, local dishes and tasty fruits. I would take good note of the stew recipe vegetables!
We took four days later to go relax and sunbathe in Mombasa. Everything went very well during our trip and we again thank the whole team.
Exceeded our Expectations!
African Scenic Safaris exceeded our expectations in every way, starting with the planning of our trip and throughout our Kilimanjaro trek. My friend and I hiked the Machame route in seven days with African Scenic Safaris in July 2015. From our very first inquiry, we had an immediate response and in the months before our trek, the owners continuously sent detailed information about what to expect. They were extremely helpful in helping us prepare and in catering the trip to our needs. We were surprised that upon our arrival in Moshi, the owner and our head guide came to meet us and give us a briefing on the trek. They made everything very simple so we didn’t have to worry about anything. The company works with a very skilled and motivated team. We were very pleased to get to know the head guide and assistant guide very well throughout the trek, as well as the cook, camping master, and porters. Our expectations for food and service throughout the climb were surpassed 110 percent. Every morning we were awoken with tea and were fed delicious hot meals and snacks. The guides were extremely well experienced on the mountain and were happy to chat with us throughout the entire journey. We felt very confident about reaching the summit with their knowledge of altitude and pacing. Not only did we have an incredible experience trekking to the roof of Africa, but we made some really great friends amongst the team as well. We definitely recommend African Scenic Safaris to anyone wanting a personalized, well-organized, enjoyable experience.
