Awesome
Communication was very good and the bookings were handled on time. The tour was superb and my son enjoyed his birthday treat with a surprise birthday cake organised by Reliable Tours. We enjoyed ourselves, hope to tour again with them hopefully soon. We would like to go to Dubai once all is well, and we will definitely engage Reliable Tours. Highly recommended them to anyone who wishes to enjoy their tour in Kenya and abroad.

Secure,hassle free and timely services from Reliable. Lets do this again
The tour kicked off smoothly with Reliable having given us our sgr tickets in advance.They dropped us at the station via their designated driver and ensured we got to our accommodation safely and conveniently.
The overall experience was marvellous, top class services from Reliable as well as the hotel- Voyager. Reliable kept us in the loop of any changes and gave us the needed 10/10 holiday.

Great, Personalized Experience
I wanted to take a more in-depth tour of Rwanda beyond the 2-3 day packaged tours offered by various tour groups. Agnes, the owner and operator of Umoja Tours, helped me organize the perfect two week trip of Rwanda. She also talked me into spending a week in Uganda and visiting the gorillas. It was amazing!
Agnes was always available for communication, before, during and after the trip. I was a little intimidated to contact an agency about a private tour because I thought it would be too expensive for me. However, the price I paid was actually less than most packaged tours. The accomodations, food and local guides were all excellent.
I thought this trip to Africa was going to be a once in a lifetime thing but I think I will be going back in a year or so. I will surely book with Umoja Tours again.

Great experiance! The safari trip for our honeymoon was unforgetable!
We arranged our individual Safari trip for 2 directly with Victor from Multiway Safari. The price to quality ratio was the best one that we recieved, so we decided to do our trip with them and we were more than satisfied! They organized our trip upon our wishes and gave us useful tips to be prepared for the safari itself. Our driver was Omari and it was our first Safari tour. I could say we were very lucky to be with him! He did everything possible so that we could always have the best viewspot to the animals regardless of how many other cars were in there as well. In other words - the other drivers did not put on so much effort as him. That trip was a part from our honeymoon holiday so Omari and Multiway did it unforgettable as in the movies - with so many surprises everywhere where we stayed - and a special gift from Omari himself. I can only recommend the Multiway Safari. They are a company that have a special attitude towards their customers and made their best to make them feel good and satisfied! Thank you for the great experience!

Enjoyable, authentic and professional!
This was my first African safari experience which more than met my expectations. Although we were a largish group, we travelled in three separate vehicles allowing us the benefits and flexibility of small group travel. Our three friendly, charming, knowledgable and professional guides went out of their way to ensure that our experiences of animals, plants, villages, schools and special projects left us with hopefully a more rounded impression of life in Tanzania than when we had started.
Well done Taswira!

Brilliant Holiday from start to finish
Our dream trip to Africa was perfectly orchestrated by the knowledgeable and dedicated staff at Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda. Every suggestion was spot on! The accommodations were fantastic and exceeded expectation. We didn't encounter any problems through out our entire stay. We wholeheartedly recommend Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda and look forward to booking with them again.

words can barely describe!
My experience of the masimara please read!!!
Day one consisted of the guide being 30 minutes late we were escorted into the mini bus after asking for a jeep as it was only me and my wife for the entire trip. We were asked for payment upfront that was £770 the guy who took the cash made it very clear to me and my wife that this did not include a tip! After around 10 minutes the guy who took the cash left the minibus ( I’m assuming to go back to the office) the guide and the “cook” Hardly spoke to me and my wife the majority of the journey.
When we got to the off-road road for the masimara we had seen many different animals like the zebra giraffe etc, we didn’t get to stop to take a photo of these animals but instead had to wait until we had got to the masimara. On another part of the off-road there was another minibus that had got stuck so our driver Sammy and the “cook” got out the car and abandoned me and my wife with the the vehicle. At this point we were then surrounded by the locals (children and adults ) it took around 20 minutes for our guide to return, we then continued with our trip
We finally reached the masimara and had gone on our first game drive for 2 hours. our drive consisted of what looked like Sammy catching up with his colleagues. And towing more people out of the mud. We saw an elephant which he did not stop so we could take photos! This was a very bad first game drive.
Day two of the masimara. We had woken up early to get a start in our long day of game drive, at first I was very disappointed in the lack of water available to me and my wife after all this was included in that £770 price. We drove around for a while taking photos of animals it was very hard to get a photo as Sammy wouldn’t stop moving the bus but just drove slowly. We had to ask him a few times to stop the vehicle before he finally got it! During our drive Sammy decided to go off road in the masimara ( this is not allowed) to see cheetah cubs. We just about got to where they were hiding before we turned around and returned to the road. This was because the KWS had spotted Sammy going off road. Sammy and a few other guides got out of the vehicles and spoke to the KWS (Kenya wildlife services) my wife took a photo of Sammy bribing the KWS (we thought he was paying a fine). when Sammy finally arrived back in the car we asked him what was going on. He told us he had to pay $30 to see the cheetah cubs as off roading is not allowed, this is around 3000 ksh just over. We then proceeded to drive to the cubs though I had asked Sammy not to and just let the cubs be. And I must admit when we got to the cheetah cubs they were beautiful we took a photo but felt terrible doing so. Not to mention they were not good photos because Sammy would not keep the vehicle still. We proceeded on with our drive and it was finally lunch time. We were starving! So my wife is vegan and when arranging the tour online my wife had told the office she was vegan in multiple occasions and when my wife told the cook she was vegan he was shocked after finding out what a vegan was, and asked if she ate chicken. That part is not important but it was funny. Anyway more to the point. We hadn’t eaten much before lunch and when we sat down to have our picnic she unwrapped her sandwich to find she had butter on her bread! It was a good job a monkey stole that sandwich because this was just another example of how unorganised this company really was!
Day 3 this was our final game drive after telling Sammy a few times we did not want to see the masih villages, we headed out! We took the same route as the day before and the day before that but it was a good job we went the same way again as we saw a family of lions! This was probably the best part of our trip. We stayed there for a while before everyone else started swarming in and then we left. On the way back to the gate one of the other drivers had asked Sammy if we can take some one past the gate on the way out. Now bare in mind me and my wife paid for a private tour this was that £770 I mentioned. Sammy had agreed to this and we would stop and talk to this lady and even drive past animals we wanted to photograph the drive back to the gate took around an hour.
Sammy treated our tour as he would a group tour. We would watch animals for as long as he deemed necessary he was on his phone for most of the safari either talking or texting and on a few occasions even in social media (Facebook) a few times me and my wife heard him make jokes to his colleagues about the coronavirus ( covid19 ) this wasn’t funny! And I was very annoyed by this!
I would rate this safari tour with 2 stars as from start to finish as we were greeted with just pure unprofessionalism. This tour was unprofessional disrespectful to the animals and unethical.
I ask anyone that is thinking of going with this safari tour company to please rethink! I regret my decision booking with this company!

It was the best trip that I could reminisce all my life!
We did a private 6 days safari tour around the north parks of Tanzania with Trip Quest Safaris & what an experience!! the guide David was amazing, very funny, i didn't feel for one second that he was a guide for our trip but a friend that we have known since along time.
The organization of the team was perfect!! I already know with which organization i'm climbing Kilimanjaro next year.
Thank you Martin for your help for the planning out our new adventure.

Fantastic Taswira
How lucky that I was part of a trip to Tanzania in June 2019 It was a fabulous experience due largely to our 3 Taswira guides under the overall leadership of George. Together they did their best to make sure we saw an incredible variety of animals, culture and scenery. They were knowledgeable, warm, friendly, all spoke English and very capable drivers. The trip was unforgettable and I credit Taswira with its success
