Matoke made our Tanzania trip a wonderful experience
Great advice. Quick service. We already had a good pre-experience with Matoke advice. And our Safari through the NP's of Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti only confirmed. Combined with a great stay at Zanzibars Stone town and beaches. Wonderful.

Exotic Safari Experience
Thanks to Rapheal our our tour guide for an excellent safari experience and booking us in one of the best camps available in Masai Mara, "Base Camp Explorer".
The only complain is about the vehicle, a Nissan Van which could have been better to beat the terrain drive of 100 kms. Its better to have vehicles with better suspension for such roads, something like a land cruiser maybe.

Professional, well organised with great drivers
From the moment we were picked up from our hotel until the very end of the safari, we were all very impressed with the high standards we experienced on our trip. The jeeps used by the company were spacious and in very good shape and also seemed secure when compared with other companies' jeeps with open sides, especially when getting close to the lions! There was lots of driving involved but at all times our drivers kept us informed as to the plans and also had a lot of very interesting local knowledge that they shared with us during the trip. The accommodation was great, huge military style tents with our own toilets and showers, plus the food at the butembo lodge laid on by Bobby was very welcome after a long day in the cars. All in all this company removed any stress we had about the trip so that we could relax and enjoy ourselves, I would consider it very good value for money and would definitely go with them again. Special mention must go to our driver Capande who made every attempt to fulfil our requests when we said we wanted to see elephants or lions etc. and was a lot of fun on the long car journeys!
Amazing experience with African Welcome Safaris
From day 1 Kathi was extremely helpful in booking our safari at Kapama River Lodge. With so many safaris to choose from, Kathi was able to provide us some options that best suited our needs and preferences while also giving her advice on which ones she thought we'd like the best. We ended up booking a 4 day safari at Kapama River Lodge and couldn't be happier with our experience. All of the details were taken care of in advance (by Kathi), allowing us to have a relaxing and fun time on safari. I would recommend working with African Welcome Safaris to anyone as we truly had an incredible experience!

Guiding us to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro
Yep, they did what the promised! Good communications right throughout. A happy team, who backed us all the way to the top. Transport was perfectly adequate in the terrain, and on time to and from the airport.
Hospitality was very good, with thanks to Saddam for being our waiter for 8 days.
The guiding was excellent thanks to Gerald and Andrew, who looked after us with a smile through even the tougher times of the trek. We were given realistic targets, and support at a level that helped all 4 of us achieve our ambition of summiting.
The food, thanks to chef Paul, was great, given the "kitchen" was a tent etc. Varied meals were welcomed, although perhaps running short of variation at the end, not quantity. We all craved a bacon sandwich for breakfast by the end! But the presentation of chocolate cake made up for that.
The whole team were magnificent, and were clearly a few notches above some of the other outfitters we came across on the mountain. The kit was absolutely fine, and the attention to detail cannot really be faulted. Thanks again guys. It'll be a long lasting happy memory!
ps And thanks to Remsi for answering all our emails efficiently before arrival.

Perfectly organized. Very reliable.
Our family booked a safari with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris. Alfred was the perfect guide, cook and driver. And all this for a very reasonable and honest price. We can recommend him strongly. Communication went smoothly. He will give you an amazing and safe safari! Thanks Alfred!

East Africa - Rwanda, Kenya and Zanzibar
May/June 2015 saw me travelling with two friends to East Africa for my first African Adventure and what an adventure/experience it turned out to be. With only a few basic requests, and no preconceptions on my part, I left the total organisation of this trip to the travel specialists of Encompass Africa who came up with an amazing itinerary - all planned to make me fall in love with Africa and they succeeded. We trekked with the gorillas in Rwanda, nine days of game drives over three different areas of Kenya (Amboseli, Samburu, Maasai Mara) where we saw an abundance of animals/birds (learnt about the Big 5, Ugly 5, Little 5 and the Samburu 5) and the exquisite beauty of the countrys. Our itinerary finished with three days relaxing at the beach in Matemwe, Zanzibar. I have nothing but high praise for the way our trip was organised, the attention to detail, locations, etc and the support of the ground handlers. Thank you Encompass for providing my friends and me experiences that will not be forgotten.
