Exceptional! Would recommend RajaTours to anyone.
Gary and I absolutely loved our safari.
Communication with Rajab was very good from day one on through our return.
Khalifa was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. He was also a safe driver. All the lodging was of high quality and the food was wonderful. With Khalifa’s expertise in seeking out the many animals and identifying the different species, we could not have experienced a more rewarding time. We both rate this the top vacation experience we have ever had. We highly recommend the itinerary and felt the value of the trip for the cost was exceptional. Thank you again for making the trip of a lifetime so special.

Exceptional experience in every detail beautifully blending warmth and quality.
This trip was a "bucket list" treat for a 70 year-old family member who has had limited opportunity to travel and it absolutely could not have been more successful. To start with the basics, every detail re: transport; schedule; etc was implemented perfectly and seamlessly. Staff at our lodges were extraordinarily warm, regularly going above and beyond to assure that her dream came true. And so it did. Accommodations and food were lovely and well-managed; settings were stunningly beautiful. And, especially because the guides were so knowledgeable, flexible and persistent, the core of the trip - the quality of the drives and the wildlife viewing - was exceptional, including a memorable morning spent following a pack of wild dogs! Wonderful memories linger!

An unforgetable memory
My friend and I spent one unforgettable week with Abu from Longway Expedition in the central and north Serengeti last August. I was expecting a lot from this Safari and all my expectations were filled. Everyday has its own surprises and memorable moments. the landscapes were astonishing and the wildlife thriving. Abu made sure that we were the first on the go and the last back at the camp everyday to enjoy the most of our days. Abu is a very kind, interesting and knowledgeable person who has been trying very hard to give us unforgettable memories and we are grateful to him. Thanks to him we saw the migration, did a walking tour and enjoyed incredible views and moments on the vast plains of the Serengeti
I strongly recommend anyone willing to go on a safari to travel with Longway expedition. Ann will make sure to support you on your travel planning while you are abroad and reveals to be of great help. And for those of you who have enough time, they are also offering trips to the Lushoto area which is astonishingly beautiful.

An amazing experience!
I booked through Intrepid, but as this was a short tour a local guide was hired. A great choice! Thanks Hannington for sharing your extensive knowledge on Uganda and all the wildlife, for keeping us informed of the itinerary for the next day, for getting us safely to each destination and for ensuring we were well prepared for our gorilla trek. The trip was well organized and seamless, allowing us to just focus on enjoying the wildlife, the culture and of course the gorillas. A trip of a lifetime I won't ever forget!

Brilliant Holiday from Start to Finish
Our dream trip to Africa was perfectly orchestrated by the knowledgeable and dedicated staff at Wayfairer. Every suggestion was spot on! The accommodations were fantastic and exceeded expectation. We did not encounter any problems throughout our entire stay. We wholeheartedly recommend Wayfairer travel and look forward to booking with them again.

The safari of a lifetime!
We had the most amazing safari experience. Our guides Abubakar Chotara and Ibrahim Swalehe were experts on everything from the animals, to the roads, to the driving, to the people. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had their experience in choosing the parks we visited and the timing of the excursions each day - we literally saw thousands of animals!!! We were so close to a lion sleeping in a tree that we could have reached out of the truck and pulled his tail! I highly recommend this "6 Day Adventure Tanzania" safari which covered Tarangire park, Serengeti park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara park.

Best experience ever!
I spent almost 3 months in Africa and thankfully met Octav and Freddy from Incredible Africa Adventures during my stay. They planned for me a wonderful safari to Tarangire National Park and also a day trip to the Materuni Waterfall with a coffee tour and a visit to the Chemka Hot Spring. I also stayed at their wonderful hostel in Moshi. Thanks to them I had wonderful trips and made the best experience in Africa.
I absolutely can recommend you to stay and plan your trip in Africa with them. They are open minded, funny and friendly hosts and plan for you everything you need and wish for. I am happy to call them my friends now and hope to visit them soon again.
Asante sana rafikis!

Walking Stick Tours is a 5 Star operation!
Our recent experience with Walking Stick Safari Tours in August 2019, was absolutely amazing! The owner, Philemon is simply the best there is! We stayed in lovely tents with a toilet/shower area at the back that was very comfortable. We did the "Best Of Botswana" Tour for 6 days and saw lots of the beautiful Okavango Delta and its animals. . We travelled mostly by a safari vehicle, which was bumpy and long at times, but lead by a knowledgeable guide and amazing driver. We also had two days in a remote area that we reached by a mokoro, or flat bottom boat. It was magical. What an experience for a Canadian. Botswana is a lovely country!
The staff named Photos and Gift and others were absolutely amazing. The food was super delicious and always served with kindness and care as they prepared it by hand over a fire daily. The settings for all of the camping spots were super amazing. We actually camped with elephants just walking by behind out tents. We could hear the frogs sing at night as we faced a river teeming with life. And through it all we felt safe and well taken care of by Philemon and his crew. We had lots of wildlife drives by safari vehicle, mokoro/boat cruises, and even a couple of guided walks. The staff is wonderful, from the cooks to the support staff. They are polite, hard-working, honest, and hospitable. The character of Botswanan people is incredible!
I am a world traveller, and can honestly say, it was the best holiday I ever had! We saw lots of animals in a variety of settings and was able to get to know the warm staff. It was everything I hoped for and much more. I strongly encourage you to go on one of Philemon's tours, he will give you a trip of a lifetime!
In fact, we had such an awesome trip that we want to book another trip in the years to come! Sending warm wishes out to Philemon and Photos and staff on a job well done!!!

Amboseli national park
Generally the safari was a great idea thanks to my wife who reserched about it.On landing we were recieved well and the briefing was done clearly
We were introduced to our guide who was ever checking on us.Amboseli is a great national park
Grat views of mt kilimanjaro and huge elephants actually the biggest in africa walking in groups of 50-100.the game drive on the cruiser jeep was awsome i cannot forget to mention with great view of sundowner. The only issue was the dusty road which needs maintanance otherwise would have been a 5* review.
Thank you Jane we really apprecited the service

Amazing 10 day Uganda wildlife experience
This trip was flawlessly organised by Jesse Tom who designed an itinerary to maximise our viewing/photographic opportunities. All queries were quickly and effectively dealt with by rapid response e-mails. All accommodations were excellent and food both plentiful and enjoyable. We were desperate to see Gorillas and Chimpanzees ( like the majority of visitors to this beautiful country ) but as birders really wanted to see/photograoh Shoebill and African Finfoot. Not only did we succeed with these main targets but also thoroughly enjoyed experiences with lions, leopard,elephant,hiipo etc and had fantastic views of different kingfishers,bee-eaters,raptors and a host of others. The national parks we visited, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth,Bwindi and Lake Mburo all lived up to and far exceeded all expectations. Special mention must be made of our driver/guide SULA. At no time did we feel in any danger despite the sometimes crazy traffic involving hundreds of "border-borders" ( motorbikes) and road conditions. Sula has extremely keen eyesight and was really helpful in finding many birds/mammals. However, probably Sula's greatest asset is the fact that he knows EVERYONE in Uganda and his contacts always ensured we had the most up-to-date information for any particular target. Also, he was great company who we now truly regard as a friend
Essentially,if you are planning a trip to Uganda I cannot recommend Lifetime Experiences too highly. Use them and ask for Sula if he is available, I guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed.
