Really Well Organised Tour
We are really pleased we chose CKC Tours for our first experience in Africa. John met us at the airport and was happy to arrange transfers for our departure once our 8 day safari had concluded. Our safari included 2 night visits to Amboseli, Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks. We stayed at Serena Lodges throughout the trip and the experiences at each venue were really unique.
We managed to see the Big Five as well as many other animals. Our guide, Joshua from Serena Masai Mara went above and beyond to ensure we saw lions and cheetahs up close, which was amazing considering we traveled during the ‘low season’.
We would recommend CKC Tours, as the whole safari experience was made an easy and enjoyable one thanks to the professional and friendly service of John and his team. Even when an airline company cancelled an internal flight, John was available to do the rerouting.

Unforgettable experience!!!
We did the 3-day gorilla safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Park, and it was an amazing experience!!! Joseph, our driver and guide, was phenomenal. He was an extremely professional driver and navigated the chaos of Kampala quickly and safely. Joseph was very knowledgable, and we learned a lot about the mountain gorillas, gorilla conservation, and Ugandan history and culture during our trip. He had a great sense of humor and was a joy to spend three days with. The lodging at Broadbill Forest Camp was equally amazing. The views were breathtaking, the food was delicious, and the tents were extremely comfortable. It was chilly at night during our visit and we had hot water bottles in our beds every night- it made such a difference and was so cozy!!! Lastly, the gorilla safari itself was a once in a lifetime experience. The guide and rangers were kind, professional and funny, and they wanted us to have the best experience possible- and they succeeded! We saw so many gorillas and were so close, it was amazing to see them interact with each other and with humans. It was a beautiful, if strenuous, hike and it was an experience I'll never forget. Thank you Encounter Africa Safaris!! You're the best!!!

Trip Of A Lifetime!
My husband and I went to South Africa, Zambia, and then Cape Town for our honeymoon. The South African Safari at Kirkmans Kamp was absolutely amazing! We hadn't been to Africa before and didn't know where the best area to visit would be at. Sabi Sands game reserve had everything! We saw leopards, Serval, wild dogs, rhinos, and many more. It was amazing. All of our travel arrangements were excellent and waiting for us perfectly. The Royal Livingstone was beyond our expectations and the Cape Town hotel (Table Bay Hotel) was the perfect location!

Great day on safari
We had a wonderful one-day trip to Pilanesberg, which completely fulfilled our expectations. We saw lots of animals. The guide was very knowledgeable and knew where to find the animals. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Wonderful and accommodating tour guide and company
My two teenage children (daughter, 17 and son, 19) and I went on a tour with Zanzibar cholo Tours & Safaris in may 2016. nassor was helpful from beginning to end in arranging and accompanying us as our guide on our expedition to the Serengeti and ngorongoro Crater. We were also interested in doing some hiking to see a waterfall which he arranged for us to do at the beginning of our trip. This was a wonderful addition to the itinerary as a cultural guide walked with us through a maasai village where we met many very friendly children. My daughter also wanted to ride a camel which he happily accommodated. We then had six awe inspiring days traveling in the 4 wheel drive vehicle through the Serengeti and ngorongoro Crater. At the end of our trip we wanted to go canoeing which again Tony happily arranged for us to do, at short notice, in Lake momella in arusha National Park, Then we went to Zanzibar with nassor also we experience the Indian Ocean with fantastic tour as known as Safari Blue and Spice tour All in all, we recommend most highly planning your trip to experience the beauty of Tanzania with Zanzibar Cholo Tours & Safaris.

Totallt wonderful!
Everything was wonderful on our 22 night safari. Jane is a wonderful and tireless guide, always stretching to maximize what we could see, and on the rare occasions when she wasn't sure of an answer to a question, looking it up for us. Her staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and the food was fantastic. Ulinda was one of very few companies to use vehicles with enclosed sides, so that it was never too cold in the morning, or too hot mid-day. The evening campfires were really a lot of fun, and the tents were quite comfortable. In the service of a balanced review, I've tried thinking of anything at all negative, and all I can possibly come up with - which would relate to very few other people - is that Jane's soft voice can be difficult for someone who doesn't hear well, like myself. In the vehicle and at the campfire I often needed my wife to amplify what Jane said (and her stories are great!!); this would have been a problem were I a single traveler. But that didn't in the least dent our experience of this out-of-the-world safari.

My wife wanted to go, I ended up loving it!
In 2014 we went to Kenya with African Big 5 Safaris and Lourens as our guide. Louren's communication and advice before the trip was personal and top notch. The actual trip was great. Good accommodation and food. Plenty of game drives each day. Great driver (Danson) with excellent knowledge of birds and animals.
We went again with Big 5 Safaris in 2015 but to Botswana where we saw a great variety of birds the first four days as we were on the Chobe river on a houseboat. I was lucky to be able to go fishing for Tiger fish and caught a good sized one. Later we moved to a lodge and commenced game drives. Also had a wonderful and memorable helicopter flight over the stunning Victoria falls which I highly recommend.

Awesome guide, amicable, goes out of his way to assist, even others, not in his group
Better than the best, takes you to the game parks and reserves from The Masai Mara to South Africa and in between,
