Amazing experience in the Safari with Jacob!
We reached Tanzania not knowing what to expect of the following days.
We met a true professional. Who took care of us like family. Always explaining and sharing his vast knowledge on the Safari life with us.
We had such a great time in those four days that words can not describe!
Thank you Jacob!

Wild Wings Safaris love what they do and it shows in their services.
Planning a trip to Kruger from 8000 miles away was pretty scary but Wild Wings Safaris made it very easy. They were very quick to respond to questions and worked with the dates we had available to put together a trip we will remember for the rest of our lives. Simon is very knowledgeable and his experience in Kruger is unmatched. We saw all big five animals multiple times and countless other animals. Even after guiding people through Kruger for so long he still gets excited about it. I would recommend Wild Wings Safaris in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an excellent Kruger experience.

Unforgettable 3 days Selous Safari
We booked the 3 nights Selous Safari with boat, game drive and walking safari. Pick up and drop off from/to hotel quite outside Dar es Salaam, was not a problem. Safari itself was an amazing experience and driver Super Mike was excellent. The camp we stayed was well-located next to the park. The lodges were simple but enough, having 3 hours electricity every night to charge, etc. Special thanks to the amazing cook Bruno, who took my food intollerances extremelly seriously. It was also very nice to have a chat with him and his food was absolutelly delicious.
We weren't able to see the big five, but saw lots of animals including elephants, lions, hipos, impalas, giraffs, zebars, monkeys, buffalos and many more. Over all not cheap but good value for money.

Amazing experience with highly qualified and enjoyable guides
It was a wonderful journey to the summit of mt. Kilimanjaro. The guides are very skilled and have a good sense of humor. It was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend to have you guided by them.

Well-organised and extemely enjoyable safari!
Shemeji were at all times extremely helpful in planning our safari trip. Our guide, Benny, was excellent; exceedingly knowledgeable, friendly, patient and we really felt he took us to the best places to see the animals away from the other safari trucks. The camps all worked really well and we enjoyed the variety and changing scenery of the trip. We couldn’t recommend Shemeji more for anyone looking to go on safari. They were excellent in every possible way.

Well organised and memorable trip
My experience of dealing with Dan right from the first email to the end of our trip was totally first class. The suggestions we got for the trip and the accommodation chosen for us couldn't be better. Overall we had a fantastic and a memorable time.
In order to find room for improvement it would have been probably helpful for Dan to have met the driver to assess customer service abilities. Overall the driver was very good, punctual, hard working and very knowledgeable however when it comes to dealing with clients there is a certain cultural element involved in communication which may be seen as condescending for London residents but probably Ok in other places. Again nothing wrong with the driver per se but would expect the tour organiser to make that assessment prior to appointing the driver.
One other point was the lack of the night headlamp light for the night time game drive. Given we started to feel a bit bad for the animals having intruded into their lives overall missing the night game drive was probably OK however from an organisational point of view the hotel where we stayed should have done a better job of maintaining a spare night lamp. This is probably more down to the hotel and not so much for Transtrek but part of the overall experience nonetheless.
In conclusion, I would not hesitate in recommending Transtrek Safaris to anyone since we had a great time and we felt we had a very well organised and enjoyable time for a good price.

Perfect 5 Day Kenyan Safari
From the very first communication with Anne, Amazing Memories was very responsive, flexible, and understood exactly what we were looking for. Anne was extremely patient with our numerous requests to modify the itinerary in different ways, our dietary restrictions, and a ton of other questions we had about payment and other things.
Our driver and guide, Kennedy, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and very pleasant to be around (which is crucial if you are going to spend multiple days together like we did). He suggested various tweaks to the schedule as we progressed based on circumstance, and all were on point and appreciated. The lodges where we stayed were excellent - we spent one night in the Flamingo Hill tented camp at Lake Nakuru and then 3 nights at Mara Sopa lodge near Masai Mara. Both were very upscale accommodations, with great food and helpful staff, and well integrated into the surroundings. Our game drives were exciting and we saw an endless stream of wildlife, punctuated by an early morning hot air balloon ride to observe the Great Migration from above. We were completely satisfied by Amazing Memories and would recommend them to anyone visiting East Africa.

Two-week wonderful trip in Kenya
Contacting with several operators for this safari, the price Aardwolf offered was not the best one (with the same level hotels/lodges/tents). I selected this operator because the communication was efficient and Esther provided me some useful information such as transportation. However, I was a little disappointed on the selection of the accommodation except those we requested, as some of them were unknown and few people visited. For example, the Soi Lodge near the Lake Baringo was selected for us, which is far away from both our destinations of Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria. The only reason is of high profit I guess. But you know, the most important thing to do safari is not the money but the guide/driver. We should thank Aardwolf to give us a great driver, Mr. John Kabuga. We were so lucky to have John with us, who is professional, experienced and qualified. He was born in Kenya but has blue eyes, which makes him special and gives him a good vision like Masai people. He is good at finding animals and told us a lot of stories about Kenya. In a conclusion, this trip was not executed in perfect detail but what we experienced makes it unforgettable on both good and bad points. A good driver will leave you a better memory.
