Encompass Africa was absolutely wonderful in every way, as promised by a friend of mine
The Encompass Africa team members were extremely knowledgeable,efficient, helpful, and did everything to ensure our holiday was right up there with the best we've ever had.They thought of everything, taking a deal of the worry of making our own plans away, and we were very happy knowing everything was dealt with. They booked a marvellous safari park for us, Kwandwe, which exceeded all expectations we had, and we had not even heard of it! Without Encompass Africa, we would have missed it.

Excellent time with Gatatu
Richard was great through the booking process. Steven, our driver/guide was excellent. He was accommodating to all our requests and showed us a really good time. Overall a very good experience. Id recommend using Gatatu and supporting local safari tour operators.

Fantastic and Comfortable Safari Experience
Yala Safaris was a great first safari experience. They picked us up promptly on time so we made it to Murchison Falls early enough to relax before heading out for the night game drive. The accommodations and meals were some of the best we've had in the entire time we stayed in Uganda! Very professional experience and Stanley and Michael were great to have as tour guides around Murchison. They knew a lot about the animals we saw and their positivity and enthusiasm made the entire experience much more fun! Thanks for being so accommodating. I had a thoroughly lovely experience!

One of the best trips I've ever taken.Safarihub management and tour guides did a great job preparing us for the journey, with awesome tips on what to do, what not to do, and what to expect. Great experience - no complaints! I look forward to our next trip with them.

Incredible Safari!
In January I went on a 7-day safari trip with Karibu Safaris and it was absolutely amazing. 'Karibu' means welcome in Swahili and the company definitely lives up to its name. They hold customer service in high regard which was noticeable both before arriving and also during my stay in Kenya. For instance, Robert was always quick to reply to any questions via e-mail and on my last day I had a very late flight back so they let me stay at their office for a while and even provided my dinner.
When it comes to the safari itself, Karibu absolutely delivered. My tour-guide, named 'Animal', was phenomenal. He was a safe driver in and out of the parks, he knew funny and interesting stories about every single animal and he was very good at spotting them as well. Moreover, when I was feeling a bit ill he took very good care of me and made sure I got the right medication and the proper food.
Overall I had an absolute blast and Karibu provided me with a great safari experience in Kenya

Asante sana!
The safari with Taste of Afrika was the highlight of my holidays!
I was very well advised to plan this trip regarding my interests. Apart from Cheetahs I could see all (!) of the animals I dreamt about to see in live ;-)
Seka and his team are very welcoming.
Hopefully I will come back soon, booking then a kilimanjaro trekking tour.
Thank you so much!

Safari was "out of this world" everything was top notch better than expected, our guide "John" was extremely informative and had a good sense of humor
Fantastic 4-day private safari
We did a 4-day private safari with Bestday Safaris in December 2016. We created our own itinerary in terms of the parks we wanted to visit (wanted to spend more time in Serengeti than most safaris offer) and Peter (the owner) has agreed to go with it and booked us lodges to fit with the itinerary.
Peter has been great during the preparation process: replying very promptly to all our queries and giving us very good advice along the way.
We arrived in Arusha in the afternoon and were going to leave for the safari the next morning. Peter came to our hotel for the briefing in the afternoon and then again in the morning, to introduce us to the driver and make sure everything is ok. On our return, Peter met us again and asked us how the safari was.
The safari itself was great. The driver (Six) was very knowledgeable and we had no problem arranging little (yet important) things with him, such as an early start, a short lunch break etc. He was amazing at finding animals, at telling us about their habits and at using his experience to know when to wait for something interesting.
Lodges that Peter booked were great as well.
All in all, a fantastic experience!

Saw it all in one visit!
This was perhaps the best holiday my wife and I have been on. It was made extra special by the crew that hosted us. They were not distant, they encouraged us to ask questions as they parted their great knowledge on to us. Not knowing what to expect or see, we saw all the big five during our time on safari.
At no stage did we fell in danger or unwelcomed. The communication between us and the guides was great and clear to understand. This trip and company I would recommend to anyone.
