Perfect organisation, Perfect Driver, Perfect Hotel Selection - as good as it gets :-)
From first contact and offer, payment procedure, timings, quality of service, recommendations, friendlyness - it was perfect form the start till the end.
Many thx to Annette for a great organisation and flexibility.
Many thx to our Driver Guide Shaddy. We felt every second of the trip absolutely secure, well informed and very "happy".
... And we saw 1000's of animals.

Road to another planet
I had only day in Karamoja region and I Paul from Karamoja Wilderness Expeditions was my guide there. It was amazing! Paul is a wonderful guy who loves this land and people. We were in village and next day it was a small hike to the mountains. It was one of the best experiences in my life.

Extremely personalized and top class service
I highly recommend Red Africa.
The service provided by them since the booking was excellent and they delivered above expectations. The guide Jaco, who is a savanna passionate and knowledgeable professional, provided an outstanding overview of Kruger’s wild life, including a tour with in-depth explanations which was much better than the regular tours offered by the park. Besides that, he was very flexible to adapt and attend our needs.

Great 3-day safari!
Overall, this was a great experience!
Selma communicated with us along the way and she was very responsive. We loved the diversity of the 3 parks that we visited (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) - each of them were very different and had a lot to offer! Our guide, Robert, was knowledgeable and kind. We stayed at Simba Karatu Lodge for the 2 nights and it was absolutely beautiful and the food was great.
The one thing we were disappointed in is the lunches. When you are paying thousands of dollars, we would expect better food, not just a piece of white bread with cheese and some fruit. I am not sure why we could not get leftovers from the previous dinner or a better quality lunch. We communicated with the lodge several times about our food restrictions, but they had no idea how to make a vegetarian lunch box and one without dairy. They messed up all 3 days, even after clarifying what we could and could not eat. We were especially disappointed because the food at the lodge for dinner was great! I am not sure why they could not have made more effort for the lunches. Overall, this is not a big deal, but I had much higher expectations given the price we were paying.

Out of this world
I recently returned from a 9 day safari in Tanzania. Oltesh Shange was my driver and guide and since there was no one else booked for this particular tour, I had personal attention from the moment he picked me up to the moment he dropped me back at the airport to return home to New York.
All of the accommodations were stellar, the food was stellar and the staff at every lodge/camp went out of their way to make me feel comfortable.
Oltesh has been a guide for many years and he is extremely knowledgeable about the animals, their habits, their locations and the best places to scout them out.
He is personable, has a great sense of humor and very, very helpful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is planning a trip to Tanzania.
He is also Maasai and knows how to communicate with the tribes, which made it helpful when I wanted to buy things or ask questions.
Oltesh definitely made a trip one I will never forget.

Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended tour operator
I was very happy with the level of service Kiliholiday's offers. Mack was very flexible and helpful. He was very responsive from the very beginning. I know a lot of people may worry about paying the deposit in advance but this is crucial for Mack to prebook you lodges, or campsites. As well as organize your plane tickets as this is also possible.
I flew from Zanzibar - totally efficient check-in at the airport even though the terminal is operating 100% manually.
Guys were waiting for us at the airport already, even though the flight was 45 minutes ahead of schedule!
We have started our adventure with Bakar - our guide and driver. We have seen the big 5! Enjoyed every moment of our 4 days Safari Game. Seen so many animals, the real beauty of Africa. Tanzania is truly beautiful!
The night at Serengeti Central camp? Absolutely stunning! Need to do!
I will be back for sure, back to Kiliholiday's service too.
thank you Mack, thank you Bakar!

Wakanda safari was a very enjoyable experience. I strongly recommend.
Communication and service before and after the tour was very good. I was picked up at the airport (after midnight), free accommodation before and after safari, and shown the nice restaurants of Arusha, where to get money...
On the safari itself, we were lucky to see the big five... And lots of other animals (Girafe, zebras, Hippos, cheetahs, hyenas...). Isha the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Meshak the cook one always a smile.

Incredible experience!
3 day trip with Encounter Africa Safaris from Kigali to Bwindi National Park in Uganda to see the Gorillas.
The accommodation was great, the food was good, the location was absolutely beautiful. For what you are getting (transport, accommodation, food, gorilla trekking), the package put together by Encounter Africa Safaris cannot be beaten for value!
Cannot recommend highly enough if you are planning to see the Gorillas!

These guys are amazing! Highly recommend to anyone
Natural Tour Safaris were amazing, and would recommend them to anyone going on safari in Kenya.
I would give them more that 5 stars if I could.
From the start Esther communicated with us over email, she was great. She worked with us to achieve exactly the trip we wanted at a great price. This was a once in a lifetime trip and Esther made sure to help us along the way.
We did a 6 day trip, 2.5 days in Amboseli and 3.5 days in Masai Mara.
The accommodation in Amboseli - Ol Tukai Lodge, had great views. We stayed on the water hole side and seen lots of buffalo and hippos from your room window. Careful of the baboons, they walk around freely. The food was really nice here too and we were lucky enough to see Kilimanjaro in its full glory.
We then flew from Amboseli to Masai Mara Serena Airstrip. What an amazing experience, it saves so much time and the views were amazing. You get to fly so low to the animals. We had a private plane almost when the other 10 people got off in North Masai Mara. So we got to speak with the pilots and sit right behind them.
When we arrived in Masai Mara we were picked up by George. I love George such a wonderful character and credit to the company. He did everything in his power to make our holiday the best!
I had huge troubles with Kenya Airways, they lost my partners bag for 2days and mine for 6days. They lied to us on several occasions saying that my bag would be delivered to Ol Tukai Lodge and then to Masai Mara.
George, Esther and Prince went above and beyond for us. Between them they picked up my bag in Nairobi Airport, took it to Wilson Airport and organised for it to be on a flight the next morning. Without them I dread to think how long I would have been without my luggage if it wasn’t for them. They also didn’t charge for this, which was so lovely of them, I really appreciate everything they did for me. They put a smile back on my face
Our accommodation in Masai Mara was stunning, The Mara Engi. The rooms were huge, stunning views and lovely staff. There wasn’t a great choice of food but none the less we loved staying here. A A few times we ran straight out on safari and they would even pack a breakfast box for us.
We also organised our hot air balloon ride with Natural Tours, which again was easy to organise through them.
To finalise, George really made mine and my partners time special. He was so lovely to talk to and made a great effort. He let us change our plans when we wanted to, he got so close to all the animals for us. And we were lucky enough to see a huge lion fight followed by a herd of buffalo charging at all the lions. Just incredible.
My partner also decided to propose to me one night and George was there to record it and take photos. These photos I will cherish forever. Thank you everyone at Natural Tours.
