The perfect Safari
Just fantastic, amazing, exeptional or how ever you want to name it....my 6-day-Safari was memorable!!! From beginning (first contact, correspondance, pre-Safari briefing) to the end it was really professionally organized. Andrew, my driver and guide with over 16 years of experience, spotted everything and was the best example of a Tanzanian welcoming, charming and helpful person. His binom and chef named Jumah surprised me everyday with his delocious meals that I will never forget. My conclusion: I really recommend African Budget Safari, for single travelers (as myself), families or groups....for sure you will spend the time of your life!! Thanks again for everything!!
P.S: my only suggestion to African Budget Safaris is to update their homepage as this company is much more valuable as they are shown online.

Truly amazing!
This company lives up to its expectations: Great service, very detail itinerary, no hidden costs and very friendly crew. The guide had a well maintained and comfortable car and more important, he has a very keen eye to spot the animals. We were always the first to arrive where other guides just drove on (lions, cheetahs).
Other tourists complained about extra costs (fuel or park fees), this company is all-inn (well, obviously not the drinks at the bar), so prices might seem a bit steep but they aren't! I can recommend this company to anyone.

Uganda & Rwanda
This was the second time we visited Uganda.
Both journeys we were with Speke Uganda Holidays. Great!
Our trip started with Kidepo. Then Muchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Kisoro and in Ruanda: Volcanoes NP, Lake Kivu and Nyungwe NP.
The tour was amazing. We saw a lot of monkeys (Shimps, Gorillas, Golden Monkeys, …) and a lot of Lions, Buffaloes, Elephants…
We enjoyed not only the sightings, we also had a lot of fun with our guide. So the transfers from one park to the next seems to be quite short because of the entertaining and the beautiful landscape.
Everything was well planned and organized.
In case we will visit Uganda once again, we definitely stay with Speke Uganda Holidays. I think, it is difficult to be better.

Great safari and a great experience
My husband and I had never been on safari before and chose Botswana as we wanted to visit some very good wildlife areas and stay in Lodges. Safari Lifestyles seemed very knowledgeable about all the areas and gave us great advice.. We chose to book our 10 day lodge safari with them as they were very quick to respond to our questions and didn't hide anything with great prices. Our daughter now wants to go and we have recommended them to her.... Thank you for a great trip.

Ubuntu ticked all our boxes in arranging and delivering our bucket list safari in East Africa
Right from the start Ubuntu provided good advice on a potential itinerary and opportunities for our 20 day safari. Wherever we went there was always someone there to great us, provide advice about the next stage, answer any questions and arrange transfers. Our lodge accommodation, meals, and guides were first class and we saw all of the big 5 and much more, a fantastic safari with memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. Our itinerary took us through Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Ubuntu even arranged our airfare to Victoria falls and we were picked and delivered to airports and directed us through borders wherever we went - a great comfort to us given we had no prior experience travelling in any of the countries we're visiting. We definetly recommend Ubuntu to anyone wanting a memorable safari in East Africa. Thank you Ubuntu.

Native Escapes could not have been more helpful, accommodating and very efficient.
A party of four of us have just arrived home from a fantastic trip to Namibia organised by Native Escapes. We flew to Windhoek and was taken to our guest house for a 2 night stay. Whilst there we where met by Native Escape agents in Windhoek, talked us through our planned route, we where driving ourselves, mobile phone, first aid kit and very good directions to our destinations. We travelled around 2500km staying at lodges with various activities included, not compulsory but most where taken up! All exceeded our expections from tracking leopards to climbing big Daddy sand dune and the desolation of the Skeleton Coast. We felt Native Escapes organised a fantastic tour for us and one we will always remember....could not recommend highly enough.

Quality Safari providers.
Travelling with a newborn baby was always a name nightmare for,not until I booked for an African safari with Safaribook evolution.
The first thing I give them credit for is the punctuality and that was a big deal for me having a newborn,a cranky teenage and a tired husband.
The driver Cyrus was his name. He was greeted us with a wide smile and helped load our luggage in the trunk.
The safari Mini van was clean and spacious that's a big deal for me as well. (Call me a clean freak)
Being a private Safari just for my family and i,the 7days safari kept getting bettet. These guys know exactly what a safari should feel like. From the scenic views to wild life,they are on point. I was amazed about how well connected they were to have known all the dynamics of safari in Zanzibar given that they were from kenya. At the end of it I forgot I had a newborn,she was ok the whole time. If you have a baby and wondering how you're ever gonna get that vacation,wonder no more. I can confidently recommend Safari book evolution to fix you just right. I am definitely coming back to Africa. Maybe this time I will explore kenya a bit and not Tanzania. Good job guys keep us coming :)

Once in a life time experience, but want to keep repeating.
This was the TRUE safari experience. I have been to Kenya/Tanzania for safari in the past with luxury accommodations and a reasonable wild life viewing. That did not come anywhere close to what was waiting for us on this safari.
The kind of wild life, both in quality and quantity that we were presented with on the Unlimited Safari was simply awesome. Moses, with his superb knowledge of animal behaviors and great anticipation based on the same, helped us see animals in different settings, as if they were giving scripted performances just for our private pleasure. Ten days at four different camp sites, with each site offering something unique in the type of wild life, was made even more enjoyable because of the kindness/friendliness of the staff, good sense of humor and fantastic food served fresh everyday. Special mention is deserved for the ' Sundowners ' prior to dinner time, yet another speciality of Moses. All in all, you will be amazed with the richness of experiences that you will be treated with, if you decide to go with the Unlimited Safari.

Nice people, great service
I've book a 11-day Kenya Tanzania safari trip with Kenya Budget Safaris.
The consultant who I contacted with is Esther. She was very helpful and nice.
I was travel alone and I've chosen to join group tour.
In the 11 days I've traveled with three groups. But this is okay, they arranged well.
And the travel agency in Tanzania is World Tours Safari.
Their service was also good. The foods are fantastic, and of course I've seen many animals (Big 5).
Next time if I have chance to travel in East Africa again, I'll choose these two company again.
