Unforgettable experience with great safari driver
We (couple) booked 7 days safari (2nights in Masai Mara <with hot air balloon "highly recommended"> , 1 in Lake Nakuru, 1 in Lake Naivasha and 2 nights in Amboseli).
Communication was very easy with immediate response. we agreed with Robert from office to pick up from the airport (one day before safari) with full day trip in Nairobi. It was great. The driver was just a driver not a tour guide.
The next day, he pick up from the hotel to start the safari with "Edward Lore" a great driver and tour guide. He was friendly, answered all the questions. It was a budget safari and we really enjoyed the whole experience. The accommodations are basic but fit to the purpose, except in Amboseli (Kimana Camp) which was really terrible. But Edward help us to find another camp in late hour (about 12 AM) where we have spent the 2 days. For vehicle, we were 7 in Masai Mara & Nakuru, after that only 2 couples.
In the last day, we agreed with Edward to drop us in Emali to get the train to Mombasa.
Finally, it was unforgettable experience with very friendly people. Thanks a lot.

Expectations Exceeded
I saw more animals than I had anticipated. At times it felt surreal. Weather in July was perfect. It was not too hot, nor cold. Accommodations the safari provided were okay. It varied from place to place. Our guide Edward was excellent. The safari set-up felt unorganized at times but I would still recommend it.

An experience of soul
It was a great experience, african people is kind e reliable, with a very big heart. Looking at wild life was like be in a documentary. The people is very friendly, sometimes in local villages you would live the diversity of “white man” as source of income, don’t stop at their need of dollars and open your heart! The food mainly cooked like soup, and based on meat, vegetables , a lot of banana, rice and Spices.
The accommodation in safari was camping , excellent experience, our guide and our chef did everything to make us feel good.

good
1.the only pity thing is that we did not see wildbeast crossing the mara river.
2.very good hotel and tent during the whole journey. But the hotel in Bogoria (Lake Bogoria Spa Resort)I have to say that is too bad, we are shocked. Too many flies around food and too many bugs inside room. Very dark and crowded and noisy lobby
3. dusty road between those main destination
4.very professional guide Join of African Horizons

Professional, friendly and reliable agency!
I have connected to Gorilla Booking online as I have found the agency via Google. I was never in Africa and Uganda before so I was a little comprehensive. Luckily there was no need for worries.
Sylivia was super responsive and arranged my trip according to my specifications via online correspondence. Once I arrived, everything was "as promised".
Moses, my safari guide and Amon, my city guide, were knowledgable and on top of things. Uganda is a beautiful country and safety was never an issue. And of course, it was great to do a habituation safari with Chimpanzees and Gorillas.
Thank you Gorilla Bookings.

Awesome Trip of a Lifetime
It was a pleasure to deal with Edwina pre-trip and upon arrival and departure. The guides. especially Tom, were top notch, great at finding animals and providing information. The accommodations and food were amazing. I highly recommend this company. They provided me the trip of a lifetime.

Great tour with the Mountain Gorillas.
I would highly recommend Encounter Africa. Our tour guide was really helpful and informative. We really enjoyed our time with him. The lodging and Gorilla trek all came off without a hitch. We had a great time.

Tanzania 2019 spectacular!
A wonderful journey that captivates your heart; colors, scents, silences and truly unique sensations. A variety and amount of animals absolutely unexpected, observed from a few meters away or even less. Careful, attentive and immensely pleasant guides. Comfortable everything and great food. An endless thank you to those who made all this possible: our amazing Wyclif and Amani guides. I recommend to everyone this experience is a recharge for the soul and for the body. Thank you very much.
