Matthew/Steve/Jeffery were all great. Very hospitable and helpful
Everything went smooth - from the Airport pickup to the drive to Masai mara to the actual safari. etc.
Matthew/Steve/Jeffery all did an amazing job - were very friendly, informative, and helpful at all stages of the trip.
We even bought airline tickets last minute to fly back from Masai Mara to Nairobi and even that went without a hiccup.
Would HIGHLY recommend.

Attention to detail
Attention to detail is what Safari Partners excel in. Our Africa adventure was " top drawer" the accommodation, tours and guides were all excellent, the traveling from place to place was seamless.
We had one hiccup with a flight that was delayed which caused us to miss our connection and rendezvousing with our friends on the next leg of our adventure. We called Chris ( it was 6am on a Sunday his time) and within 30 minutes his team had rebooked our flight, got us a hotel for the evening, contacted our friend and sorted out the details so we did not miss out on our gorilla trek. I cannot thank Chris and his team enough for such efficiency-they were so quick in getting back to us - I had no time to stress!!
I do not often write reviews and never give 5 stars however Safari Partners deserves every one!

Exactly what we were looking for
From start to finish the trip put together by Justin was exactly what we wanted. Early in the planning process we said we had 6 days that we wanted to spend on safari and with some beach exposure. He setup a fantastic itinerary that covered all of this, including transfers between locations by extremely nice and dedicated drivers. We saw just about every animal we could ask for in that shirt time range plus spent two days at an amazing, relaxing remote beach resort. And the price for everything was very competitive, especially given the level of service and accommodations we received. I could definitely tell something was different about his my initial services, and we were right. We recommended PaperJet to others while on the trip and will continue to do so

Our perfect safari Honeymoon
Great experience in this safari, thanks to the organiser - Mack - and the driver - Thomas.
We had the car dedicated to the two of us, great accommodations and awesome places visited.
Our tour started in the Tarangire, then Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara - for a total of 7nights, with 1 day resting at the arrival.
We've seen all the main animals, the big 5 and many predators - included a group of 15 lions of which 8 cubs.
We couldn't have asked for more!

A Brilliant Serengeti Safari Trip
We had a fantastic safari in Serengeti! The staff at Jaribu Africa Adventures have been wonderful and everything fell into place. It was amazing how every single detail was sorted and we didn't have to worry about anything during our safari trip. In particular Joseph was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble.
The lodges they suggested were brilliant, in particular Lemala camps was breath taking. I would highly recommend using Jaribu Africa Adventures! Thanks again for an unforgettable safari trip.

Walking Stick Tours is a 5 Star operation!
Our recent experience with Walking Stick Safari Tours in August 2019, was absolutely amazing! The owner, Philemon is simply the best there is! We stayed in lovely tents with a toilet/shower area at the back that was very comfortable. We did the "Best Of Botswana" Tour for 6 days and saw lots of the beautiful Okavango Delta and its animals. . We travelled mostly by a safari vehicle, which was bumpy and long at times, but lead by a knowledgeable guide and amazing driver. We also had two days in a remote area that we reached by a mokoro, or flat bottom boat. It was magical. What an experience for a Canadian. Botswana is a lovely country!
The staff named Photos and Gift and others were absolutely amazing. The food was super delicious and always served with kindness and care as they prepared it by hand over a fire daily. The settings for all of the camping spots were super amazing. We actually camped with elephants just walking by behind out tents. We could hear the frogs sing at night as we faced a river teeming with life. And through it all we felt safe and well taken care of by Philemon and his crew. We had lots of wildlife drives by safari vehicle, mokoro/boat cruises, and even a couple of guided walks. The staff is wonderful, from the cooks to the support staff. They are polite, hard-working, honest, and hospitable. The character of Botswanan people is incredible!
I am a world traveller, and can honestly say, it was the best holiday I ever had! We saw lots of animals in a variety of settings and was able to get to know the warm staff. It was everything I hoped for and much more. I strongly encourage you to go on one of Philemon's tours, he will give you a trip of a lifetime!
In fact, we had such an awesome trip that we want to book another trip in the years to come! Sending warm wishes out to Philemon and Photos and staff on a job well done!!!

Amazing
The organization was top from beginning to end! Pick up in Naivasha and bring back to Nairobi no problem. our driver was really great and made a real effort. We had one of those little busses where you can stand and look out of the open roof. Room and board were convenient ... you may not ask for too much for a price of $ 300 ... had to send $ 100 via PayPal and then pay the rest locally. Currency is not a problem. have seen everything except rhinos. We recommend.

Extraordinary experience, experienced guides, personalised and flexible program'!
In July we went on a tour with African Wildcats Expeditions with 13 persons.
Communication-
Good communication between us and African Wildcats, all the question we asked them got a fast response! Before the trip we had the change to meet them in Holland to ask even more questions and being able to look at the final details of the trip. When we finished a day there was always a short briefing where they gave us information for the next day. They gave us good dressing tips and a list of items thats a must.
Service-
The service was amazing! Always on time, their english was good, no problems with hotels, good meals and there was always water availeble and they even got WI-FI on board!
The tour-
The way how they made the program was simply amazing! The way they build up the parks and what animal we can see where was just perfect. They included all our wishes, we saw the big 5, we visited a school, local villages and some amazing views. The Hotels they picked had good services, good meals and some had amazing views! They drove very good so we couldn't get car sick and we even got the change to sleep! The tourguides (Jacob & Kiki) mastered english! They also knew alot about the animals, nature and culture, and that was very intresting. You could learn something new every few minutes if you wanted to! We saw various scenery and they made sure we got the best views and best experiences! The Touring cars included every u need, electricity, binoculars, WI-FI, clean water, extra information books, comfy seats and a good driver/guide! We got clear briefings the day before and it was very flexible. If we wanted something to change they provided good alternatives and fulfilled all our wishes.
I can recommend African Wildcat Expeditions to everyone because they simply provide you the best experience you can wish for!

We booked a family trip to Masai Mara and Navasa lake . Very professionally conducted tour
Visit to Masai Mara and Navasa was a very good experience. A meticulously planned tour in 4x4 land cruiser ex Nairobi. A life time experience of nature. A refreshing boat ride at Navasa. Steve's as a driver an guide was outstanding especially in spotting and guiding animals, very soft spoken. An asset to your company. Long live Mr Alex, Dennis and your team.
