Trip of a Lifetime with Kenya Budget Safaries
My buddies and I had an amazing trip with Kenya Budget Safaris. I see no reason not to book with them. The guide was great! Spoke good English, was very knowledgeable, and did his best to answer our million and one questions. The accommodations and restaurants they had set up for us were great. I would not trade the experience for anything.

Beautiful landscapes, few animals
We visited the Park 4 years ago, so i don't know what's the current situation..
We spent a day in the park with our car, exploring a large part of it.
The park is divided into 2 zones, the first is flat, with a "bush" where you can easily see impala, wildebeest, warthog (and according to the rangers at the entrance, not seen rhinos ...).
In the second area the road becomes bumpy, the landscape becomes more mountainous and they told us that we should be able to see the "big four" (except the lion), but on a full day of search we have seen just some kudus and zebras ...
You could see on the road very recent traces of the passage of elephants and rhinos (droppings and broken branches), but it's amazing that even waiting for a long time we didn't heard or saw anything ...
Maybe because of the dense and narrow vegetation near the road ... but also from the high ground with binoculars we couldn't see anything on the move.
However the views are spectacular in the mountains, including the long, steep climb up to the top of the massif of Waterberg, where you should be able to see the colonies of griffon vultures.

beautiful destination with breathtaking scenery
Selous Game reserve is a beautiful destination with amazing wildlife and breathtaking views. Quite bushy so you really have to look for the animals but the views and nature is just gorgeous, the Hippo camp is very basic accommodation but the staff are very hospitable and friendly. Food was served daily and was tasty and well cooked. Our ranger Emmenuel was so kind and friendly we really enjoyed spending time with him and would definitely like to do this safari again. The walking tour was very entertaining with the bush man and the river safari was so fun when we stopped to watch the sun set it was just beautiful.

Review about Tanzania by Sarah
Tanzania is an amazing country with very kind people and you feel generally safe out there, so much to see and do and the scenery is spectacular. really miss it and 10 days was not enough to split between there and Zanzibar. would definitely go back again.

Augustine is an outstanding teacher; he made the adventure more perfect than we could have dreamed.
I wanted the 6 high school girls, 2 moms and a teacher to have the experience of a lifetime: to see the BIG 5 and the little 5; to learn about Tanzanian culture - its' history and its' current challenges; to meet some Tanzanians and experience their welcome and warmth; and to depart deeply touched and wanting to return. Gus, and his Aardvark Safaris Company, made all our dreams come true. Gus is uniquely well educated and has a comfortable teaching style and a great sense of humor. Having gone on 3 other safaris, with other companies, Aardvark has my unqualified recommendation.

Far exceeded all expectations.
From the moment we contacted Kombi Nation Tours until the time we were dropped at our hotel at the end of the safari, our experience with Kombi Nation Tours was unprecedented. We had done some previous research and were immediately impressed by the prices Kombi Nation Tours quoted us, in comparison to other tour operators.
The personalized customer service we recieved during the planning phase was remarkable. The represenative we worked with was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough; she was very precise and was committed to ensuring that our itinerary included all of the aspects we wanted.
Our guide was extremely experienced. His attention to detail, demonstrated compentence and friendly demeanor added so much value to our trip. We were able to sit back and enjoy, without having to worry about a thing! All of our accommodations, activities and excursions were outstanding and very well organized. This was my third safari trip in Africa and it was by far, the best!

Great service and value!
Ben and his team did a wonderful job customizing our itinerary for a trip to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. We climbed Kili, went on safari, hiked to gorillas, rode horses, whitewater rafted... It was quite the adventure. They were very responsive over both phone and email. In addition to great service, E-Trip Africa also offered great value. They were one of the few agents that itemized our costs so we could see what exactly we were paying for and decide where to splurge vs. save. They helped us meet our budget while have a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Wonderful Safari in Kenya and Tanzania
We are very pleased with the service mindedness, the service itself, the expertise and the advise that Jambo African Adventures has given us. The travel scheme and the locations to visit matched perfectly with our ideas. During the Safari we were accompanied by pleasant knowledgeable guides, that were also excellent drivers.
Last but not least we saw many different animals thanks to the spotting skills and perseverance of our guides.
Because of this the four of us have had a Safari that was far beyond our expectation.

FS do not deliver what promised.They subcontract to the jeep owners who in turn make you a scapegoat
I had specifically booked in July to see the Migration but was very disappointed that the tour operator just takes your money and then he is sub-contracting to the jeep owner who in turn is only trying to cut on his fuel costs and maximise his profit,so in the bargain you are made a scapegoat.
I had opted for a tented accomodation and had specifically asked for the a picture of theinside of the tent where I was shown a tent with a wooden bed inside.Imagine the shock to see a dirtiest mattress with a torn cover given to me in Serengiti and that too on the floor.One should be honest with what one is promising not cheat. I was also charged more than the others in the group.I will not recommend FS to anybody .There are other more honest and less expensive tour operators.

What the said they will offer is what we got and more
They provide my wife and I with transport service, booking of the hotel and everything was we had wanted.
They even called us to see how we were doing during our trip.
Good work Dancom tours
