Avoid at all costs
They took our money, they booked nothing, we cancelled, we got the police onto them, no result.

Not satisfied
Please do not book at Krugerpark.com. We had booked the 3-days Safari. After several email contact we succeed to let them know we will drive by ourself inside the gate to the camp. That was no problem they said. Arriving at the gate we had to pay to enter the gate again (R560) The gate fee was in the package we booked, so we already paid for it. Arriving at the camp, nobody knows about us. There was no reservation. Tried to chat with Krugerpark.com, nobody responded. Then we call them, I couldn't understand a word they where saying because of the bad connection. They called me back and gave a reservation number. (The calles costed me R300) Back to the reception, nothing to find again even with the reservation number. Asked the reception if they can contact Krugerpark.com for us. Finally the found something. Krugerpark.com called the driver and he picked us up finally, already to late for our first game drive. Back in Holland again I started contact Krugerpark.com to get our money back for the gate fee and my telephone costs. Pff not funny anymore, I think I had to explain 10x what happened to the same lady. 3 months later (february), sending several reminder emails I finally got an email that they will refund my money. No it is june and I still haven't received any money.

Best safari company in Tanzania
Predators are extremely professional and offer a world-class safari experience. They have comfortable, very well looked after Land Cruisers and their guides are permanently employed with amazing people skills and knowledge of their country, the different parks as well as wildlife. I can highly recommend you book your safari with them!!!!

The Best View in the World!
I have traveled all over the world and done many different types of trips. This trip was the best!! East Africa Travel Company was amazing! Every moment from when we first inquired about the trip till we made it back to the bottom of the mountain and onto our safari was handled with professionalism. I can't say enough amazing things about Lewison, John, Isaac, Richard, our cook, and all our porters. The food was incredible. I don't know how the cook did it but he was amazing! John and Isaac our guide and assistant guide knew so much about the mountain and Tanzania it was awesome that I could scratch something off my bucket list while learning so much. Our safari guide richard had eyes like a hawk and could spot animals all over the place. If your looking to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro or take a safari in Tanzania I highly recommend East Africa Travel Co.

Best guide ever!
We had the most incredible day with Ian - after a short walk we had the chance to sit down about 10 meters away from 4 beautiful rhinos taking a little nap in the sun! What an experience! Ian is a gifted story teller and so passionate about what he does, he will answer every question you can possibly think of. Best day of my whole trip and I will definitely come back to learn more from Ian!!

The Wildside Safari Co fullfilled all my expectations excellent service and an outstanding safari.
My dream was to see the Gorillas and I was fortunate to join a Wildside Safari Co Tour to Rwanda 3 years ago. We stayed in the Volcanoes national part which is a small village in Rhungeri. Our mountain lodge was simple but comfortable, with a warm cosy room and wood fire and delicious food. Our trek up the mountain to the Gorillas the next morning was nothing but spectacular, our guides were superb and in the short hour that we were with these magnificent creatures, we saw the great Silver Back and his family happily munching away at the Eucalyptus leaves. A magnificent trip and definitely lived up to my expectations and one I will remember for ever.

Fantastic adventure in Uganda with Matoke.
The 19 days in Uganda were fantastic.
Our guides (Mike and Frank) are top. They did everything to help us and gave us a good inside of this beautiful country and very friendly people.
Our fellow travellers became our friends. We had so much fun with them (and Frank and Mike).
We saw so many beautiful parks, views and so may animals:
- Kidepo is a must to see
- Murchisons Falls and Lake Albert (we saw a lot of girafs and for example the shoebill)
- Kibale Forest (the chimp habituation is a great experience)
- Queen Elizabeth National Park
- Kazinga Channel boat trip (the best boat trip we had in Uganda, we saw also the rare white kingfisher)
- Lake Mutanda
- Bwindi (the gorilla's!)
- Lake Mburo
- the swamp near Entebbe (with again the shoebill)
Every day was different, interesting and exciting.
The visits to the vilages, markets, the problems with the roads (and flat tires), the ferries.
This is Africa.
Thanks Matoke.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Maria Arreba
In October, there were very few animals around. Migration had already ended. However, the amount of lions we saw was very big, and we had the opportunity to watch how they behaved. The fact than migration wasn't on, reduced the number of vehicles around and we could see some lions and other animals alone.

Extraordinary Service!
Erica, Joanne and Kasigo ,
Thank you so much for your hard work.
Without your efforts on getting me the VISA, this extraordinary, memorable for a life time trip would have never happened!
You guys didn't just do you bit, but went above and beyond. We cannot thank you enough.
The safari itself was so well managed and planned , we have had the rear chance to see mating Lions, elephants in musth, family dynamics of a pride, hearing the roars of the pride just outside our tents, close encounters with hippos, zebra crossings ( African style - where a herd of Zebras are actually crossing ), a herd if 35 elephants joining more elephants, experiencing the calm side of a huge male buffalo up close, Hyenas scavenging during the night safaris, beautiful sunrise, exquisite sunsets and the extraordinary night sky where one can actually see one of the Magellanic clouds.
There is so much to write, but more importantly, I again thank you for making it happen and using your contacts and expertise in helping us to get the visa.
Thanks a Million!
Lots of love

Fantastic
We went to Africa on our honeymoon and Marianne really did make it the trip of a lifetime! Through every step of the planning she was thorough, helpful and organised. She listened to what we liked doing and what we wanted out of the trip and made some fantastic suggestions. She was so enthusiastic, answered all our questions and sent through a lot of really helpful information.
The trip itself ran extremely smoothly. Everything was well organised and really easy on our part. We went to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. The lodges were fantastic and the whole trip was better than we could have imagined.
We can't thank Marianne enough for all she did and are so glad we decided to book through her. We would definitely use her again and will recommend her to all our friends and family.
