Its worth it!
We went on a 3 day 2 night safari to Amboseli Park after booking with Safari Update Travels. It was a great experience. The staff were very friendly, the lodges were excellent and the safari was worth every penny. Thanks Safari updates.

Breath Taking Experience
The ideal trip to Kenya is to make this a part of your itinerary. The experience was one of the most amazing I've been on in a while. Thanks to Silas who responded swiftly to our emails and helped us make our booking. Simon our safari guide was helpful and very knowledgeable throughout the journey. He knew the exact spots where to get the animals, he was very resourceful and made the whole safari worth it. From the animals to the views especially of Mt. Kilimanjaro was breathtaking. I highly recommend travelers who need to get excellent safari experience to book with Safari Update Travels.

Safari Update Travels are the best!
Safari Update Travels are the best!
We highly enjoyed our 3 days and 2 nights luxury Safari. We weren’t into camping so we went with the option to stay at Sarova Mara Game Camp. The tour was well organized and accommodation was top notch. Our safari was in a heavy duty Jeep-like vehicle with a pop up top. It was much better compared to other vehicles we saw in the park. It came with free WiFi and electrical outlets for charging, which was greatly appreciated. The evening safari drive was one of the best highlights of the trip. The sunset was one to remember. The team at Safari Update Travels Helped us with every special request and they delivered excellently exceeding our expectations. We will definitely plan to book our next tour with them.. It was very easy to communicate with them and they responded quickly to all my questions. Special thanks to Linsel for making the safari a success. Thank you Safari Update Travels!! You are the best!

It was the best time of our lives on a tour
Victoria listened and understood what my husband and I hoped to experience on our first trip to Uganda. She always responded to our lengthy emails regarding the questions and was so patient even with our ever changing itinerary and wants. Her recommendations proved to be perfect and fit our budget. On tour, our guide Nixon was fantastic and took care of us throughout our stay. The lodges were lovely lodges with great service, the Land cruiser vehicle we used was clean and in good condition, amazing nature and wildlife especially the tree-climbing lions and gorillas were spectacular!!! Highly recommend this company and would use them again.

Awesome!
My wife decided to surprise me for my birthday with a dream of mine. That dream was a South African Safari. Being this a very special trip, she looked for the best service and best value for the money. These guys made us feel right at home. Friendly, funny and very organized. We traveled from Johannesburg to Cape Town in 20 days, staying in amazing lodges having great food. I give Shikwaru Adventures two thumbs up. Thank you so much for making us live a great experience. You made my dream come true. See you next year Botswana 2023!

Our driver Edward was amazing!
We came to Kenya for our honeymoon. Glory safaris arranged everything from our pick up from Nairobi airport (at 3am) to all the excursions including safari picnic experience, naviasha, masai Mara, to first class train to Mombasa and our final transfer to the airport. Our driver Edward was the best tour guide! On arrival he gave us safari hats, a traditional blanket known as Masai suka, and a refillable water bottle. Edward is so knowledgeable of the wildlife, the agriculture, politics, and history of Kenya. Very smooth handling of the jeep especially on some difficult roads during the safari drive. Definitely will be coming back!

5 Days Group Tour in Tanzania
Wow! What an amazing safari experience! My wife and I traveled to Tansania and we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos (couldn't find the leopard to round out the big 5) and so much more! This safari is an excellent mid-budget safari experience. If you like to rough it a little but still have someone cook for you and get you lodging this is for you. It's not a luxury trip per se (seeing all the animals 100% makes up for that and besides you are in Africa who needs luxury when you have hakuna matata!) but this safari gives you a local experience from a local guide, and it does not disappoint. Pofu holidays also set up all of our airport transfers both arriving to Kilimanjaro and leaving to Zanzibar! The only experience I have to be prepared for is carrying out a lot of cash to pay for the safari in cash. It feels a little sketchy paying for something with so much cash, but remember you are in East Africa and most things are still done in cash. Overall the experience was amazing and be prepared to see a ton of animals in their natural habitat! Hakuna Matata!

100% Professional. Perfect organization,very friendly guide ,excelent accomodation,amazing safari.
We started organizing a 3-day safari for two adults and an 8-year-old girl from home. Shengena immediately answered our questions and sent us a detailed itinerary and prices for the 3 days, specifying the accommodation and board during the tour that we followed throughout.Our plane was 6 hours late. We could not notify Shengena of the delay in time, however, the guide was waiting for us at the airport...
The 3 days were wonderful. We visited 3 national parks. The guide was very kind, ,nice person and highly professional. He was flexible and he felt exactly where we needed to rest a little, what kind of animals we needed a little more time for, and how much information we could digest. Wonderful tour,highly recommended Company. Perfect service,at a compatitive price.

Tour operators were caring, knowledgeable and efficient.
Inland Africa Explorers thought out every detail to make our safari truly a lifetime experience. I had a medical difficulty, and was brought for medical care six times. Camping accommodations recruitment to five star hotels. Food was plentiful, nutritious, and memorable. Safety was a priority. Our vehicle was roomy and comfortable. I will truly recommend in land anyone looking for a Safari in Tanzania.

They turned the jeep into a matatu for profit
I was hoping that the good reviews are real, but I was a fool to think so. Karibu Safaris put us 9 people in a jeep when the maximum is always 7 people. They breach their specific promise since we asked multiple times to make sure that no more than 7 people will be in the jeep. They simply surprised us in the morning and we couldn't do anything about it.
It should be 6 in the back and one next to the driver maximum, but they decided to make extra money on our back and had 8 people (one sat in the back with no window view) and also a small kid ( so 9 people in total ). Moreover, they tried to lodge two of us in a single room where we clearly booked private rooms.
