Wonderful safari!
Kenya Turacos Safaris arranged for me a wonderful safari and I was fortunate to have Elijah as my African safari guide as he is well informed , very personable and made my trip highly enjoyable and educational. I am a photographer so capturing images of all the animals in this area was very important to me - and Elijah was very accommodating and knew how to find and enabled me to take incredible images that I will treasure forever. We did go before breakfast because of animals and more was coming out... killings we saw. He is very knowledgeable in birds population, and habits of the big 5 which enabled us to view and photograph incredible scenes.
I let him operate my small camera while I used my large camera so I recommend him as a second photographer also.
Wonderful experience - his sense of humor and explanations of living conditions and some history was invaluable.
I have recommended him to my photography club and all my friends who desire an epic adventure.

Very well organized safari. Everything exceeded our expectations :-)
Very well organized safari. Luxurious lodges with very service-minded personnel and really great catering.
We saw all the Big Five and had a very good and welcoming guide/driver who was well-informed about the different animals in both Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and their habitats.

Trip of a lifetime!
We are seasoned travellers and want unique experiences. Afroriginal got it right - Desiree spent time understanding what we were looking for, and got us a great combination of beautiful wildlife parks, wonderful lodges and small scale campsites, accompanied by a very friendly and knowledgable driver, and some nice R&R in Zanzibar in a beautiful family hotel. In two weeks we saw so many different ecosystems, and each and every overnight stay was worth while. I know there are many tour operators offering similar experiences and you may think Serengeti is the same whatever operator takes you there, but I disagree. It is the local knowledge, the special places to visit, the friendliness of the staff that makes you feel welcome and enjoy your time. As a family, we really thought this was one of those 'once in a lifetime' trips. Desiree called after we got home to seek feedback, and this is another example that Afroriginal cares about your experience. Wel worth your consideration!

Nice experience
I decided to do a 6 day safari in the lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. At first I was worried because it was my first safari, but Robert has made my experience pleasant and unforgettable! The safari was comfortable even if we slept in a tent. The places that I have visited are really beautiful and they all deserve to be seen! if you go to the Tanzanian, it is worth seeing everything there!

A fabulous 5 day safari to Kruger with Themba
My wife and I wanted to escape the cold in Toronto and booked a guided 5 day tour to Kruger with Themba. This was our second tour with Themba and they did not disappoint. The logistics of being fetched from the airport and the drive to Kruger from Johannesburg etc was faultless. The whole trip was organized very well and we enjoyed our guide, Sue, who is extremely knowledgeable with animals, birds and trees and plants.
We were lucky to see a lot of game and Sue made sure that she positioned the vehicle so that we could have the best vantage point. We stayed in Skukuza camp and it was very adequate with good food and facilities.
I would highly recommend Themba and look forward to our next trip in a few years time.

Amazing personalized attention form Hirola Tours & Safaris
We had a week long vacation in Kenya in February 2014. Hirola Tours & Safaris were the organizer of the tour of Ole Pejeta and Masai Mara. The attention to every detail, making a first timer feel home, very friendly and professional guides and above all very prompt response to each and every query in planning the tour was a great experience. Salute to the patience of Patrick and his staff that they painlessly kept on responding to my ever changing plans and queries.
I found Hirola Tours & Safaris a real dependable friend to any first timer like me.

If you wish a perfect tour contact Kruger Flexi Tours
We made a lot of research before our trip to Kruger Park because we had a list of places around it that we wanted to visit as well. Kruger Flexi Tours planned our tour as we imagined. All our emails (and there were a lot of them seeking for information on the tour and about other aspects of our trip) were immediately replied. The planned trip was recently realized as we wished (except one or other place that we couldn't see because of the heavy rain on the week we were there). That was a fantastic trip and we'll never forget it, especially because of the good care that David (the owner of Kruger Flexi Tours) took of us. During our safaris, we saw all the big 5, as well as other beautiful ones. David also prepared himself our meals (a delicious barbecue and a complete breakfast).

Fantastic
The whole experience was life changing, everything went to plan and our guide was brilliant, we saw all the normal thing you expect but what lifted the whole thing was the in depth knowledge of our guide, we saw so many small things and an incredible array of bird life, he was able to name them all, the accommodation was clean and comfortable, the attention to detail shone through and we will be booking again

Very nice tour :)
I booked this tour by e-mail. The person in charge of tour replied soon, and she was very kind.
Though I asked many questions,she answered correctly and what she wrote was actually correct.
The tour is great. I could see more animals that I had imagined.
I could see BIG5 all!!
The Driver(joseph) was kind and reliable. He found many animals, and told me that, so I didn't miss animals that I wanted see:)
Tent is confortable. There is mosquito net. And food is good as well.
The tour cost is very nice!!
I'm surprised that tour quality is so nice, but cost is cheap.So, I could go to safari though I'm student.
And boat safari was exciting ;) I could see many birds and rhinoceroses.
I joined bigtimesafari tour for 4days.The time passed by in a blink of an eye.
I have never such an great experience ever. I'm so glad.
Especially, special thanks for Martha and Joeph. Because of you, I think I could enjoy and have a safe trip.
Before going to kenya I was worry a little bit, but I was wrong. There is big nature.I relaxed too ;)
The nairobi city was not safety maybe, but this company is very safety and kind!
I want to join another tour of bigtimesafari someday. Thanks.
