One day trip to Lalibela with a competent guide
I went to Lalibela with 2 friends of mine for a one-day trip in mid-October. I contacted Daniel 2 weeks before our arrival. We discussed in length all details of the trip. He helped us make the perfect plan to make the best of our short stay. I appreciated his prompt responses and well articulated and detailed answers. It was very helpful since we had worries about the overall situation in Lalibela after the war. But we weren’t disappointed at all. He was punctual, he picked us up in the airport and dropped us at the end on time. He arranged our stay in the hotel and our meals. And most importantly he had deep knowledge of the history of his town. He speaks perfect English and we appreciated his energetic and captivating way of storytelling. He added more depth to our visit with his extensive knowledge of the region and all the hidden gems. We also went on a hike to Asheton monastery, which was a challenging trek where you get to enjoy the best landscapes of the beautiful Lalibela nature. We discussed a variety of topics (politics, religion, history…). Daniel answered all of our inquiries. I highly recommend Daniel for all his skills and professionalism. He made our trip worthwhile. I rate him as excellent.

Perfect safari with a good guide
The guide picked us up in Dar Es Salaam. His english was good and he told us a lot of facts about the different tribes, communites etc. on our way to the national park. That made the driving fun and exciting.
We were on a two day safari. The guide did everything he could to help us finding cool animals. We did for example see many lions, giraffes and elephants close to our car.
We slept in a cabin in the nationalpark with a armed guard. It felt safe. The food was also good.
I do recommand.

Everything I look for in a guide
Daniel's vast knowledge of Lalibela together with his patience and kindness are a winning combination. We tested his patience with both our curiosity and our wish to see a lot in a relatively short period of time. Throughout, Daniel remains calm and generous with his time and tips to see more of this wonderful country. Highly recommended

Take an adventure is what you want here
Wow!!! Kanje Grand Tours gave us an amazing experience. The vacation to Tanzania was incredible. All I had to do was pack my bags because everything was so expertly arranged and planned. Thank you, Kanje Grand Tours, for such a fantastic time. Our family outing was wonderful. Hopefully, we can do it again soon. Keep up the excellent work!!!!

A very well-organized, imaginative and professional provider.
I've been traveling regularly with AdventuresExpeditions since 2020, and I'm always full of anticipation when planning my next trip. The dedication and diversity that Diana brings to the guest is to be admired. Questions are answered within hours, offers and alternatives are implemented as quickly as possible. Helpful with all questions, concerns and bookings before, during and after the trip.
It is always a joyful experience to be received personally by Richard, the private transfers a pleasant experience.
The recommended and described accommodations always correspond to the fact, not only the accommodation but also the location of the camps are always included in the advice. I was always pleasantly surprised, as the accommodation recommended to me always exceeded my expectations.
The organization was always perfect, the timing excellent, no waiting times for transfers, personal assistance at check-in at the airport, up to the service of luggage storage, we were always well accompanied and cared for.
I can highly recommend the AdventuresExpedetions agency to everyone, and for me it is certain that if I travel to East Africa it will be with Diana and Richard.

Uhuru peak with Kanje
Absolutely amazing, sincerely recommend. Hiking up Kili is no small endeavour, but it was made pleasurable, memorable and one of the best experiences of my life by the #kanje team, every single person, 100% dedicated to ensuring that we, as visitors, made it to the top.

Great Safari Kruger Park Safari with Red Africa!
We enjoyed our 7day/6nights Safari with Red Africa. The price was very reasonable and staff Amelia when booking and our guide Jocko was very accommodating. Our flight was delayed into Johannesburg and he was able to pick us up at the airport and rearrange the schedule so we didn't miss anything. We are a challenging group of 10 seniors, a couple with mobility issues and it was great for everyone. The food was good, we stayed in 5 places over 6 nights and the huts in the park were a little rough but if you want to do bush drives you need to stay in the bush. A couple of the places before we got in the park were really great, overall I think there's real value for the money.

A magical safari experience with the most impeccable hospitality and knowledgeable guides!
The 13-day package that we experienced with Brilliant Adventures immensely exceeded our expectations. The itinerary included Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Lake Natron, 3 nights in the Serengeti National Park + 2 nights in Zanzibar. Everything in June from an environmental setting was essentially perfect based on multiple factors: the lower season made for fewer crowds + more mobility in the parks to see the animals, the Great Migration, the most comfortable temperature and the babies, cubs, newborn animals coming from breeding season.
But when it came to Brilliant Adventures, this is where the vacation was taken over the top. We were immediately greeted by our wonderful safari guide, Joshua, who stayed with us for the whole trip. His professionalism, safari expertise, integrity, energy, communication, patience, flexibility, and overall wonderful disposition enabled us to have one of the best vacations we've ever had -- and my husband and I are lucky to say that we've traveled to many places!
We are so incredibly grateful that Brilliant Adventures paired us up with Joshua -- we wouldn't have changed a single thing. And the service, value of the package, timeliness and cadence that we traveled exceeded our expectations and standards (since we like to be moving and adventuring quite a bit)! Our jeep was also a private tour the entire time and Brilliant Adventures was flexible in customizing our package.
I'd highly recommend Brilliant Adventures to anyone looking for an amazing, comfortable and memorable experience of a lifetime; you'll no doubt be in great hands.

Amazing in all possible ways
Mt Kenya hike was definitely the highlight of my Kenya trip(so much more fun than safari haha). The view is simply insane. Every couple kilometers you will venture into a new alpine terrain and sample the distinct vegetations, animals and views of Mt Kenya there. Daniel and his crew was the best alpine team one can hope for. They not only helped me make it through the hike when my knee was slightly injured, cooked the best outdoor meals I have ever had, they also taught me so much about the mountains, its eco-system, helped me spot the different species of monkeys and plantations, and the local cultures that they grew up in. I would definitely come back and hike Mt Kenya again with Daniel, and I think you all should too.

Our tour operator went the extra mile and cared greatly about giving us the best experience possible
I would highly recommend Defenders Safari. Our guide Caleb was kind, informative, and genuinely passionate about providing the best experience for the people and animals. He was an excellent driver and very punctual. I felt that we got a great value for our money. I will definitely recommend this company and our guide to our friends and family. We plan on using this tour operator when we return to Africa. They were quick to communicate with us and easily made adjustments when needed. 10/10!
