100 % professional planning and empathic guidance throughout the journey
We were really absolutely satisfied with the whole organisation and execution of the trip. Very good planned and prepared, we never had to wait and both of our guides (Robert for 8 days and Grace for 7 days) were very empathic and they always knew and recognized what we want and what we prefer. The 4WD car was always clean and comfortable. The lodges were all very nice and well selected.
All in all we can recommend Speke without any deductions.

Awesome Nairobi Park Safari
I would like to thank Kibera Holidays for accommodating my last minute request for arranging Nairobi Park Safari. Guide Kimani was very helpful in spotting all the important animals including lions. He took keen interest in ensuring that I did not miss any important excursion.
I would recommend Kibera Tours to anyone who wishes to do safari with very trustworthy and professional company.

Excellent Safari + Kilimanajaro Climb
We recently returned from an 8-day safari + 6-day climb (Machame route) with Open Africa Safaris. They made our trip truly wonderful.
From the very beginning John (who is based in the US) was very responsive and provided detailed and useful information as we were planning and customizing our trip. We were a large group of 12 including a baby and they ensured and every one of us was well taken care of. All the suggestions provided and the final trip turned out to be perfect. Our guides/drivers for the safari were Tony (actual name Anthony) and Nico. Both were extremely fun and knowledgeable and ensured that we saw all the animals from up-close at times taking us to parts of the park where we were the only ones so that we did not have to compete with 50+ other vehicles to see animals.
After the safari a few of us climbed Kilimanjaro and this was organized by Open Africa Safaris as well. The guides (Omben, David and Justin), chef and porters were all very helpful and entertaining. We had a fantastic climb where they encouraged and assisted us in every way possible. Ultimately most of us made it to the top.
Outside of the safari and climb, John (who was visiting Tanzania) and Anthony took personal care of us. Picking us up from the airport, arranging for activities on other days, showing us around the city etc. They truly became good friends and we look forward to doing more trips with them in the future.

Review of trip arranged by Paul Justine, Peace Hotel Arusha, Tanzania - roadsidetanzania.com
1 Stay at Peace Hotel was really good.
2 First day trip to Arusha National Park was exceptional. Viewing of wild life in Tanzania was great. Elephants, Giraffe, Baboons, Gazelle, Impala, Lions and many other were seen. The guides were very qualified and helpful in explaining the animals habits, the countries different tribe and their development.
3 The second day trip to Kilimanjaro National Park was also very enjoyable. The guides explained and showed how the different tribes like Chaga and Maasai lived. Wild life viewing was also good.
I could be willing to recommend travel through this group

Unforgettable moment :) thank you
I was in Tanzania to do a sponsored climb of Kilimanjaro on behalf of the Nasio trust who supports orphaned children in Kenya.
The professionalism of the climbing team and especially of the chief guide Nicholaus Mathias was exceptional. Nicholaus has an in-depth knowledge of Kilimanjaro and the wildlife that resides there, information you won’t find in books. We were supported by great team of porters and cook, people I am still in regular contact with a year on, even listen to guns n roses and rob zombie with the crew on the climb, unforgettable moments ‘pole pole’.
Asanta sana Tanzania
We had an amazing time in Akagera National Park
We had a 1 day safari through Akagera national park with our wonderful guide Reginal.
He was a great guide and helped us to see lots of animals and identify them. We would recommend him and his company wholeheartedly.

Amazing
Helinas Safari stands out. Even before the trip started, an in-depth schedule containing a well-described list of all the activities and attractions was provided as well as a price list, which was very beneficial. From day one onwards, the responsible and well-informed driver picked us up on time and assisted us throughout the day with the activities that were planned for each day. Both in Nairobi as well as in Mombasa, the drivers had an exceptional knowledge of the area and consistently answered our questions in full detail. Moreover, their recommendations of restaurants in both cities were outstanding. If you book through Helinas, you won’t be disappointed, their great staff will book your trip in detail and will confidently cover all your points of interest. I can’t wait for my next trip to Africa and will definitely book my trip with Helinas Safari once again.

14D safari in Zambia (including a 4D canoe safari)
I did a private camping safari with 3 other friends in Zambia from livingstone to Lusaka. From airport to airport, everything was meticulously planned. There were plenty of times where our opinions were asked for, valued and acted upon, which made the holiday very enjoyable and personal.
The team at Dens went the extra mile on a couple of occasions, e.g. Going out in the middle of the night to get pizza for supper, having mattresses in tents, stopping for hungry lion (Zambian equivalent of KFC) whenever we felt like. Food from the chef was of a remarkable standard, always nice after a tiring day out on safari.
I would highly recommend Dens and would definitely look out for them on my next African adventure.

Really Amazing trip!!!!!!!!!!
We did 8 days safari through KWSS and it was really awesome. We all were thoroughly enjoyed. Appreciate Otiano's flawless planning and the great effort by our driver David in ensuring we have seen all the animals and kenya’s great culture. David has took care of my kids very much and always made us happy. It is really memorable trip and we were very much comfortable throughout the safari. Really recommend KWSS for those who are planning safari in East Africa. Thank you very much KWSS, keep it up....

Great three day Maasai Mara safari
Had a great time on the 3-day Maasai Mara safari with Pam Tours. Albert helped me arrange the trip and he was incredibly helpful and professional, providing much assistance and advice on a backpacker budget. Our driver, Zack, had so much experience and took us to great spots in the reserve. Meals were nice and chefs will accomodate dietary needs, accomodation in the safari tents outside of the reserve were very nice as well. I would definitely recommend Pam Tours!
