It was one of the best
It took some time to know the what we wanted but the best thing was that John & Joe (Sureway Tours) was accommodating. Both John and Joe were excellent in their service and guiding us as well making sure we were looked after by the Lodges. They made us very comfortable and we enjoyed our tour. They went out of their way to make sure we had an experience of a life time.

9 Day Magical Kenya
My husband and I just returned on Sunday from Africa and are already missing it. At the end of May-June 6th we were with Kenneth and had the best time. We visited Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli, and Tsavo (east and west). Each park was wonderful in different ways, and Ken did an amazing job of telling us about the parks, animals, and getting us to amazing spots. We saw SO MANY elephants, zebras, giraffe, hippos, Topi, Impala and even several Lions. The best was seeing two leopards, a herd of Rhino, and a few cheetahs. I even left my Ipad at the hotel in Nairobi and Robert and his team were able to get it back to me! Robert was quick and responsive with emails and the itinerary was great. Some of the hotels were only okay, but that was due more to a constraint on our budget as opposed to their planning. If you can spend a little more to stay in a place better than the Voi Safari Lodge, I would. I would (and already have) recommended going to Kenya and using Beacon.

Lifelong memories with this exceptional operator with a passion for sharing what Botswana offers
My daughter and I went on the 10 day Botswana Classique mobile tenting safari starting in Maun then progressing through Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe River. Each place has its own special character which gave us a great experience. The entire experience, from initially contact over the Internet to explore options, through booking, organising extra tours at the end and, of course, the safari itself, was brilliant. Eddy and his team office support could not have been more helpful. Our tour guide and expect it tracker, Newman, taught us so much about the animals, land and culture. His love of the land and care of anima!s and their environment was great to experience. The camp and conditions were wonderfully managed by Stephen and his support crew, Mattias and Moses. The tents were always welcoming and the hot showers ready and waiting. Another highlight was the campfire meals. 3 courses and different Marvel's each night catering for my vegetarian daughter just as well as for me (the beef fillet was the best I have had!). I cannot rate this company high enough!

Most amazing trip of my Life
I randomly picked Kenya walking Survivors Safari and Wow, they were just wonderful. I was there from 17/24th May. Even though I was the only guest,Mr Otieno ensured that trip went on. Visited Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha. It was just amazing. Saw the big five only regret was could not see the fastest animal the Cheetah. Trip was organised flawlessly by Mr. Otieno. One great thing about Mr. Otieno is that he is very prompt in replying your mails. Its gives you a lot of confidence.
I will come back again and Mr. Otieno is my man. David the Driver was amazing and so is Mr. Som the cook.
Something for the Indian Travellers
Do not follow the blogs of western people blindly.regarding Safaris in Africa
1. For seven days trip two jeans or 3 shorts is fine
2. 4/5 Full sleeves T shirt is more then enough
3. Mosquito repellent is must
4. Food is not a problem at all, even for vegetarians
5. Drink only Bottle water
6. Its like any wildlife safari in India.
7. Prepare for long drives
8. Roads are really good except the approach road to Masai Mara ( 65kms ).
9. Balloon Safari is good but worth it during the great migration
10. Ask for local guide for nairobi city tour. Incase you have to go alone. take minimum cash, no camera, No cards, behave normal, avoid eye contact with anyone, behave busy when some one approaches you. remember there are lot of Indians in nairobi.
11. Its lot cleaner then India. People do not spit or urinate on roads. Kenya is just Magical.
12. There is no ISIS or Al Shabab
Thank you Kenya walking Survivors Safari and Mr,Otieno for making this trip so memorable.

Amazing Safari Experience
Golden Africa provides a unique safari experience. Have now been on multiple safaris with Golden Africa, the organisation and attention to detail is superb and a lot of effort is put into ensuring each trip is tailored to your individual requirements. The game viewing has been excellent and it is combined with incredible guiding knowledge and the ability to communicate effortlessly how animals behave in the environment in a very interesting way to guests. The respect Golden Africa show to animals has also been an important point for us.
Nothing is too much trouble for the team and I really appreciated the Gin being flown in when we managed to drink the bush bar dry.

Great (second) safari trip with KWSS - highly recommended!
This was my second safari trip organized with KWSS Ltd. The trip was three days, two nights, and Mr. Otieno and his team managed to accommodate my schedule perfectly, and to customize the itinerary to visit two parks, Amboseli and Tsavo West. We were guided by Benson, who had great knowledge of the parks and animals, and we managed to see quite a lot of fauna. Finally, accommodation was great, in a lodge facing Mt. Kilimanjaro (in Amboseli) and a hotel structure in Tsavo that was straight into the park. I would definitely travel again with KWSS due to the much better price compared to the competition, and the high quality of service offered.

Trip of a lifetime!
This was our 5th safari with Golden Africa (the first was back in January 2008) and we return again and again simply because they're the best safari operators we've ever travelled with. Wonderful sightings, knowledgeable and ethical guiding, incredible attention to detail - every trip is unique and yet provides a consistently high standard of service.
Both my husband and I have lived abroad and traveled extensively: between us, we have lived on 5 continents, and have visited some 50+ countries. In 20-some years of travel, we've only twice returned to be repeat clients / guests of any company, and Golden Africa is top of that list. They are simply in a completely difference league to the others and I can't recommend them highly enough.
