Jesse Mfoi is an awesome guide and we would go anywhere with him.
We have been with Jesse Mfoi in 2007 to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. In 2009 we went to Tarangire Nat'l Park. In 2011 he organized a trip for 8 of us for 5 days to Iringa from Moshi Tazania and back. He is an excellent guide and individual!!! A couple glitches occurred in 2011 but he took care of the problem in short order without any discomfort to any of us. We would only use Naenda Safari Company on any future return to Africa.

This was by far our best African safari experience!
Four of us booked a safari with Bush Travellers Safaris (BTS) in October 2013. We were a little hesitant because we could not pay by credit card but had to transfer the fee directly to the company. But the price was very reasonable, compared to other companies, so we took the chance. This was the right decision. From the first greeting to the last goodbye, our experience was far more than we could have hoped for. We did not sign up for a luxury safari, as we wanted to help with cooking and camping activities. Besides, our previous week in Kenya was on the more luxurious side. BTS answered all our questions, in advance of our departure as well as throughout the safari. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and very skilled, with excellent English and a good sense of humor. Our cook was incredible, making everything from mac and cheese to pizza and a birthday cake over an open log fire. The assistant driver/guide did much of the hard work with good humor and no complaints. We felt our team enjoyed the trip as much as we did. We saw every kind of animal: lions, leopards, elephants, including those that walked through our campsite and ate our vegetables, hippos, birds of many kinds and colors. The tents were comfortable, bedding was supplied, and plenty of water was available for washing and drinking. The BTS team went out of their way to solve even the smallest problem. They quickly replenished the vegetables, for example, although we were far from any town. The landrover was comfortable and well equipped (unlike the one in Kenya). But above all, the BTS team became like family: we worked together, laughed together, and experienced together the wonderful country of Botswana. We felt perfectly safe at all times. We would recommend this company without a single reservation and would be willing to share more of our experiences and photos if BTS requests it.

Amazing Safari and Cultural Experience
I had an amazing safari with Zohar African Safaris this spring. Lilly put together a tailor made itinerary on short notice and was so knowledgeable and helpful. Ken in the United States facilitated and gave incredible input to Lilly and my guide which helped make the trip so memorable. My itinerary was a combination of wildlife viewing and cultural excursions. We visited the Maasai, Datoga and Hadzabe (Bushmen) tribes - all different and all fascinating. We went to three different markets that cater to locals rather than tourists and I learned so much about everday life in Tanzania. My guide had a gift for being able to make conversation with anyone so there were also numerous impromptu cultural times including fishermen at Lake Eyasi and a local woman preserving the fish and others from her village.
And the wildlife - I don't know where to start. I expected to see the usual safari animals like zebras, elephants, lions and wildebeests but I had no idea that I would see so many species large and small. My guide’s spotting ability was amazing and allowed me to see hundreds of birds, small animals, footprints, plants, and more. His experience in animal behavior allowed me to capture photos I would have never gotten on my own. He sensed when we should wait a few more minutes because the animal was getting ready to make a move and he was always right. As a solo female traveler I felt completely safe and taken care of by my guide and the rest of the Zohar staff. My guide and I spent a lot of time together over 12 days and he was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, patient and funny.
I hope to return to Tanzania soon and would choose to travel with Zohar African Safaris again.

Kombi is an excellent tour operator providing outstanding, personalized services at great prices
I went on a 10 day safari with my parents in one of Kombi's VW camper vans. We had an amazing time traveling around Uganda in the very unique vehicle. The directors of Kombi Nation Tours, Steve and Rachel, provided excellent service during the entire process of organizing the tour and during the tour itself. They were available full time during the organizing process to answer all my questions and tweak the tour itinerary. Since I live in Uganda Steve even made the time to meet with me in person in order to get a better idea of what kind of trip I wanted, where exactly I wanted to go, and what I wanted to see. I really appreciated such dedication to making my tour the best it could possibly be. The personal touch Kombi provides by being available and personable puts their services over the top and in my opinion makes them much better to work with than other larger tour companies. As I was very impressed and pleased with the services Kombi provided while organizing and finalizing my tour I knew the tour itself would be perfect and it was. We enjoyed every day of our tour and had no problems. Rachel called our driver/tour guide every day to make sure things were going well and she was also in touch with me via e-mail to make sure everything was fine. On top of the great services Kombi provides their prices are much lower than other tour companies. I highly recommend Kombi Tours to anyone planning to travel in Uganda. They can arrange all different types of tours from long to short and budget to high end/luxury. Kombi is reliable, professional, reasonably priced, and just generally awesome.

Best experience!!
We had an awesome time with Umang and Chris on the Safari in Ruaha. We saw so many animals (e.g. lions 2 meters away) and the landscape was incredible. We would definetely recommend Gazelle Safaris as they do the best they can to make sure you are having a time you will never forget in your whole live. Two thumbs up!

Fantastic Short Safari to Ruaha
Gazelle was very flexible & responsive in planning the tour. Very clear about cost & method of payment. They arranged a wonderful safari lodge & places to stop en-route to the park. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the park itself. We saw just about all of the animals we'd hoped to see and some we'd never heard of! I'd highly recommend them as a safari operator.
