Great Trip with good organisation :-)
We did a Kenia & Tanzania trip in August 2017. Everything was well organised. The drivers were very exerted.
We saw a lot of animals and the Big 5 for sure. The price-performance ratio is very good.
Thank you very much for the great time we spent!

Everything was perfect perfect perfect!
We loved the trip !!! Everything was planned so well we couldn't have dreamt of anything else!
Let's start from the beginning. Kevin called back immediatelyafter me contacting him through the website to ask about our ideas and what we like and how we are and what we expect the trip is going to be like. We talked for 45 minutes, after this he sent through an itinerary. It was great - but still we wanted some adjustments and had a few different ideas which he immediately took in, even a couple of times until we ware happy :) Kevin is extremely responsive and tries everything to make his customers happy. Even though they may seem to be a bit more expensive it is really worth every dollar. We travelled for 2,5 weeks in Uganda with Emma, who is a great guide and his car Freddo - which was almost a friend after that time :) and you learn a lot of the different cultures and the country itself. Emma is also really sensitive to give you your own time if you want this but if you want to do another game drive or have more questions, he is there for you!
We met so many people not being happy with their tour and organization but paid a bit less than we did, but really? It is YOUR holiday and maybe a once in a lifetime experience and Experience Uganda really makes a difference in treating their customers. We had so many nice litte extras which made us feel very special and it also made the trip special - we even had a few people being jealous of what we got compared to what they got. We loved that :)
If you want to travel to Uganda, which is by all means not cheap in any way, do it with Experience Uganda. We can recommend this 100%. Being in their hands you can lean back and relax and enjoy! Also I can recommend to start with one or two nights in Entebbe - Lake Victoria is beautiful - and enjoy the guesthouse Kevin and his wife have there. Great food. Great staff. Nice pool and rooms. And it was the perfect start for a trip in Uganda.

The driver+guide are professional, and nice hotel choice
I found that the guide are so friendly and have a really professional service mind. Karim gave us so many information about safari animals and other thing too. For the hotels, the staffs in every hotel are really nice and kind. The hotel are clean and nice. Hotel food are fine too. I feel like this is quite beyond my expectation. Only some facilities in the hotel like warm water and electricity there are not the best but acceptable since they are in the park.

Truly amazing experience
Had an amazing adventure with Namayiana Safaris and John. On our safari. John drove us all around so we were able to see the Big 5 and we managed to get the most amazing photos of all the animals. John was such a great guy and always making sure we were close enough to get the best shots and was able to share an awesome amount of knowledge with us as we spent the day travelling around the maasai mara.
I would definitely recommend Namayiana and John to anyone wanting to do a safari for a really great price.

The best safari experience
One of the best experience, the expectations were exceeded.
Together with a team of friends we went to Amboseli and Diani, the quality of the service, the information, and the knowledge of Evans made a truly unforgettable trip.
For us that your guide speaks Spanish was great.
and the price - quality ratio was the best.
Evans is an excellent person, 100% trustworthy and guide now step to be our friend.
I recommend this company, to all those who seek quality, experience, and friendship.

My ''wow'' safari
Kenya is wonderful and beautiful. My friends and I booked a seven days safari with Savannah Sound safari's . Right from the beginning they were quick to answer all our queries,and on arrival we met with our guide Julius who was with us during our safari. What a privilege to have seen all the big five, Julius just knew where to go and find them. I loved his good communication skills,interpersonal skills and knowledgeable about the wild nature. I would recommended any person to travel with them to experience the great safari adventure.

Outstanding safari adventure with Transtrek - Book now, do not hesitate.
After months of research, I finally decided on Transtrek for our "Bucket List" trip. From the start our communication with Daniel was easy and pleasant, he really worked hard to get us the trip we wanted, he is thoughtful and paid close attention to what our needs were. He revised the itinerary a few times with our input, until it was precisely what we wanted, and within our budget. I felt very comfortable using Transtrek which is important when you are spending a good amount of money for a 13-day vacation. Trying to plan something from a distance, with a stranger in another country is intimidating, but working with Daniel was like working with a friend, which truly put us at ease.
The trip itself? Well, we are still smiling, downloading movies and 3500+ photos. It was unbelievable, one cannot imagine the things we saw, everything but the rhino, but that was OK with us since on the way to look for the rhinos, we came upon 2 large male lion brothers on their way back home around 830am. We followed them for an hour, chuffing and roaring as they communicated. The behavior was extremely interesting, and we were so close to them, that my heart started pounding (and I'm not easily frightened) about a 20-25 foot distance.
All of our days were filled with really interesting encounters, a giant python, African hunting dogs (very rare) and a female elephant so close that Peter didn't turn the vehicle off since she was in "charge" mode. We kind of snuck up on her eating in Tsavo West. The brush was so dense that we couldn't see each other until we were right on top of her, and she us. Exhilarating! We saw so much; Lions, hippos, zebra, giraffe, elephant, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, crocodile, hyena, ostrich, warthog and much more. I even got a bunch of kisses from a friendly, beautiful eland at the gate of the Masai Mara reserve. A huge animal with large horns, but tame and friendly as he/she was a rescue at a young age. I could have stayed there all day with the eland, beautiful animal...
This safari was absolutely unforgettable thanks to Peter our driver. He is very knowledgeable, smart, knows his animals and their territories, he was also very accommodating to us and was flexible on his timing. We were in good hands with Peter, we felt safe, comfortable and most of all we had the time of our lives, really an incredible trip. He knew where to locate and spot the animals, as well as an expert on the wildlife itself, especially the birds, so many huge birds in the reserves and Peter knew what all of them were - impressive knowledge.
Do not hesitate for a moment booking with Transtrek if you are searching for a tour company. I am a skeptic at heart, and always will be. I do not ever trust blindly without extensive research, but at some point you need to book a safari with someone, right? My instinct told me Daniel is a trustworthy man after emails back and forth with him, and I am happy to report my instincts paid off. Great trip, great animal sightings, and especially a great company to put my trust in, I would use Transtrek again in a heartbeat.
Asante Sana Transtrek, hope to meet again in the future.
Perfect 3 day gorilla trek
We booked a gorilla trek that included organisation of all permits, accomodation and transport. We transferred the payment directly to his bank with no issues. Everything went exactly to plan and as per the itinerary communicated. Would highly recommend.

Great 7-day safari
I did a 7-day tour with Safari Line Defender covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park. It was a fantastic and positive experience. Rose was quite helpful as soon as I booked, constantly keeping me informed and asking how she could help. She even got me a discounted hotel booking and arranged all the airport taxis. The safari itself was busy and well planned. We had a very good guide, Patrick "Papa". He was knowledgeable, warm and very patient. All the arrangements worked well. The main issues in my safari were the state of the roads leading to the Maasai Mara and the traffic jams to Amboseli (between Nairobi and Mombasa). These need to be factored into all plans, but they are Kenya Government issues rather than the fault of the safari company. The campsites (at Maasai Mara and Amboseli) and the hotels at Nakuru and Naivasha were as expected for a budget tour. This was my first time in Kenya and it is a beautiful country, blessed with great wildlife and natural resources. Thanks Rose and Patrick for a great experience and I would definitely recommend this company.
