Amazing Safari Holiday
We booked a safari camping trip for five days four nights in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with AHLA. The communication before hand was excellent and the price quoted was very competitive. The Lodge in Arusha is basic but clean rooms and beds. It is a steep climb from the entry point which is a slippery foot path (rains) but there were people sent down to collect our luggage from the bottom of the hill. Our children enjoyed the climb.
The safari itself was with Ibrahim and Yonno as our guide and cook. Both of them were excellent. We saw all the animals Big 5 and the rest. Only regret not spotting the Cheetah. The campsites we stayed in were well maintained although the first night was a bit scary with hyenas howling and lions roaring in the night. On the whole but for the breakdown of the Jeep on the way back to Ngorongoro it was an amazing holiday. We have never seen that many Wildebeasts, Zebras, Gazelles. We even managed to see several prides of Lions, a near kill and an after- kill feeding Lion.
I would definitely recommend them if you are on a budget and want good value for your money.

A Fabulous Walking Safari
My mother and I visited Tanzania intending to climb Kilimanjaro, but had to change our plans at the last minute. With only a couple of weeks to spare, we went hunting for a less strenuous, off-the-track type of walking safari. Safari Infinity came through and put together an absolutely perfect itinerary. Without another tourist in sight, we hiked down the Rift Valley Escarpment and along a dry riverbed. Another walk down the Empakai crater was equally excellent, accompanied by the most beautiful, lonely country we saw in our entire 3 weeks tour. A canoe trip rounded things out, with fantastic birdlife. Lucia executed our every request, and she and Simon met with us afterward to discuss our trip and any concerns we might have had. Our driver George was superior; he was a courteous, well-spoken bird encyclopedia! We couldn't have asked for better, and would recommend Safari Infinity to anybody. Five stars!

Out trip was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations
We took a tour going to Samburu,Sweetwaters,Nokuru, and Masa Mara. The lodging and food was fabulous. Our driver James made sure we saw all the species of animals and made sure the trip was one we will remember for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend odyssey safaris to anyone looking to take a safari.
Trip of a Lifetime
Amazing experience from beginning to end.. Excellent communication when booking the safari with prompt responses and informative answers to MANY questions that we asked. Made us feel comfortable as we were booking this trip online from the USA. They made an excellent recommendation for B&B prior to pick up as we travelled from Cape Town to Joburg the day prior to leaving for the safari. On time pickup from B&B. Tour guide.. Susan Wilson was AMAZING... Extremely knowledgable about all aspects of the trip from travel from Joburg to Kruger National Park. Excellent experience with her for our 3 day, 2 night trip. Knowledgable to all wildlife and the park itself. Accommodations in park were nice, well maintained and clean. We will use Wildlife Safaris when we book out next safari.

African Welcome Safaris organised the holiday of a lifetime for me and my wife in South Africa.
From my initial enquiry in February 2013 to the thank you letter when we arrived home in September Kathi Simon of African Welcome Safaris was more than helpful in arranging the holiday of a lifetime for me. I am lucky to have travelled extensively but never before without a problem or two. Our tour was amazing from the beginning in Johannesburg to the end in Cape Town. I am planning to return to Africa in 2015 and will be contacting African Welcome Safaris to organise it for me.

Three perfect and amazing weeks for discovering South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho
Preparation of the safari was very easy : Biwakwango was able to understand our expectations very quickly ! During the trip, all reservations were ok and were in accordance with the descriptions given. We followed the many advices given by Biwakwango and we have never been disappointed (roads, view points, accomodations).

Customised safari with great guide and wonderful hotels. Great experience with them.
We had a perfect 3 weeks honeymoon experience with this agency. Nothing to regret. They even took care of us when our flight coming back home was overbooking and we had to expend one extra night in Nairobi.

Safari Travel in the hearth of Africa
We are two zoologists and our trip goal was to travel as much as possible in order to visit numerous parks and see a lot of animals! this goal was totally achived!we had the chance to personalize our tour directly with Mr. Otieno with some changes in the budget so to stay more days in the beautiful Masai Mara and also achieve a beautiful boat tour with lots of birds in Lake Naivasha and a tour for the flamingos in Lake Nakuro. In Kenya food was exceptional, the tend camp was confortable and quiet and our guide, Ochien, was careful, prepared and also very kind!Our trip to Uganda was incredibly long, but we had the chance to move by car through wonderful landscapes and make a beautiful trekking in the forest with mountain gorillas. Sammy and Godfrey have been very cautious on the wild roads and helped us throughout the trip!In Tanzania it was a real adventure!Arusha, Serengeti and Ngorongoro have gone beyond our expectations, we saw a great wildlife and we experienced the tends!The equipment was perfect, Sammy and Mike have been very professional and we had a lot of fun!Definitively something to try!

A Life Changing Experience in Tanzania
Our trip was so well planned and perfectly met our expectations for the kinds of things we wanted to do and experience. The trips leaders/guides/drivers met our every need and took such good care of us with personal attention and sincere care for our well being. The leaders also were so full of knowledge about Tanzania; we learned so much! Everyone we met there was so welcoming kind and generous. It was an amazingly wonderful trip; we are so glad we didn't pass this up; we want to go back.....but only with Viewpoint Adventures. As a not-for-profit business, we are assured that our money is well spent and any revenue they generate goes to help those in need in Tanzania, especially Bashay School and Shalom Orphanage.
