An unforgettable holiday
It's exciting to go with an unknown tour company and let a stranger -you only know by contacts via email- to determine everything. We already had high expectations, especially after we had watched the locations of most bed and breakfast on the Internet. However, the journey has surpassed everything, by far. From the very warm welcome at the airport to the regretful farewell there we felt like at home. And everything ran as smoothly as a Swiss clock. Michelle has sensed our wishes perfectly: no mass tourism, but idyllic locations with nonetheless every comfort. We went from one magnificent location to an even better one, almost everytime we regretted it that we had to move. We were never disapointed. The tented camps in the parks were also fine with a visit of the hyena, the roar of a lion and the kiss of a Nyala to finish it. We have seen some of the Drakensberg, with the highlight of the Sanipas, Kwazulu Natal, culture and made many safaris with incredibly beautiful moments, from sunrise to sunset. Every day was like a birthdayparty. Michelle is an excellent guide, she makes a fine braai and breakfast, she knows (almost) everything, turns to other guides as needed and does everything to make it a fantastic holiday.
She can drive her car and avoid the potholes, look at her iphone and start there a discussion about some kind of vulture we saw before and spot a rhino over a kilometer away and note that it is a black one.
And that all at once ...
What we wanted: an unforgettable holiday where we could see a lot, but also moments of rest. It was all that and much more. Thank jou very much.

This was my second trip with John, going through South Africa, Namimbia and Botswana. I'd go again!!
After comparing my safari with AASC with other companies, ...there is no comparison. Every detail is attended to by John and "nothing is too much trouble". Very well organised, and always helpful and kind.
His knowledge is vast on all of Southern Africa and I observed that he was well liked and respected by local bureaucracies ...eg borders etc. He has an excellent knowledge of animals, towns and folklore.
I will be going again with him.

Caring, personal service
I did a 3 day tour out to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (from Kampala) to see the gorillas. Fred was great in terms of answering my questions in a timely manner and making sure everything was as I wanted. He even made a special trip to the airport on his birthday to meet me for final payment two weeks before my trip! He is an honest, trustworthy guy. My only big complaint is that it is currently not easy to pay for these safaris by credit card other than Visa, but I know this is being worked on. If he could accept credit cards over the Internet, that would be the only change I'd make. Otherwise, the prices and experience were great!

Still waiting to be reimbursed US$982
James and Costa were wonderful. Will withhold further details of our trip until our money is reimbursed, as my review will definitely change for the better at that time. eg. All will be forgiven.

A positive, memorble experience of a lifetime awaits you with Charles Benjamin's skillful guidance.
Charles Benjamin is a superb guide. He knows where to find wildlife, has great informative insights, and a great personality--which is a great asset when you are together for a multi-day safari. We had a spectacular experience of a lifetime, seeing every wild animal we imagined we might see with Charles's insightful leadership on a 7-day safari. We stayed in luxury tents, with bed, western toilet, showers and cooked high-quality meals. The leopard, cheetahs, and hippos were most memorable. The rich array of birds Charles pointed out to us in Serengeti was also a treat. The rough roads were made bearable with his competent driving skills and underlined the fact you are in East Africa, removed from your normal world, experiencing the majesty of a sanctuary for wildlife. Charles's communication skills, responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our interests were essential elements in making each day of this memorable week a true, unique treat. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking a personalized experience seeing bountiful wildlife with competent commentary.

Highly recommend Safari Infinity!!
My boyfriend and I took a 12 day trip with Safari Infinity and could not be happier with our Tanzania safari experience. I have dreamed of going to Africa since I was a very young girl, and I am pleasantly surprised to report that the trip exceeded my (very high) expectations! We landed in Arusha and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. I could go on and on about the amazing animal sightings and unbelievable experiences we had, but I will try to keep things short and sweet and highlight a few key points . . . First of all, our tour guide Kelly was beyond amazing. He always went the extra mile with regards to making sure we had the most exclusive animal sightings. We also got to know him on a very personal level and enjoyed our hours of conversation with him comparing our culture with his and our views on the world. A huge bonus of Safari Infinity is there is no limit to milage driven each day. Kelly explained to us that many companies cap each day at 80 km of driving, whereas on many days we surpassed 200 km in order to reach more exclusive regions of the Serengeti for superior animal sightings. Also, many guides rely on radio calls to find animals and stick to the main roads. Kelly was very skilled and proactive - he would get just as excited to spot an animal as we were to see it. We had a special interest in bird watching and Kelly was extremely patient and helped us ID each species we saw. All of our accommodations were great, but Tarangire Treetops and Mara Under Canvass cannot be missed! I would recommend booking hotels that are comprised of individual tents/huts/treehouses, etc., versus hotels that are set up more traditionally (long hallway with rooms adjacent to one another). Each national park was special in its own way, but if one had to be missed due to time constraints I would say Lake Manyara was least special and the northern Serengeti (where we ended the trip) was the best! Again, I could go on forever gushing about how amazing our trip was, but suffice it to say that I strongly feel Safari Infinity and our guide Kelly were what made our trip as exceptional as it was. Lucia was wonderful to work with as far as booking our adventure, and she even met with us in person at our final hotel to garner feedback in person and ensure we were happy with everything.
Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Owor Patrick
Viewing the Kabalega Falls now named Murchison Falls is simply magical. Here is where the whole river Nile, "the world's longest river" is squeezed through a 5 meter wide cleavage and pounding down through an approximately 45 meters long falls forming an amazing rainbow in the hotter part of the day. This is Uganda's largest conservation area with a vast variety of vegetation cover from open savanna, equatorial rain forest, savanna woodland and
