The time of our lives!
We had a taylor made experience, driving with Lenny from Nairobi to Maasai mara ( staying at Ashnil) and then back. Lenny is an amazing guide that really wants the best for you and he´s also a very very nice and fun guy. He´s fantastic at spotting animals, knows the country so well. He´s a deep knowledge and love of nature and animals that he shares. He gave us the best angles for photos and we´ve returned with some great pics. We saw the big five, a crossing, a hunting lion and many many more unforgettable experiences. One day we had lunch under a giant tree at Sand river. We had a great time together and we want to return. We really want to recommend Tayiai safaris!

Kilimanjaro Climb
Migration Kili was excellent! I was given full attention by the staff from beginning to end, and the climb was as smooth as I could have imagined. The head guide was very knowledgeable and the team made the transition from hike to campsite very easy, and the food was excellent. I could not have imagined a more enjoyable trip!

Best experience ever !!!
What a trip !?!?!? One of best things I have ever done. Wild Dog Safaris made my Dad's dreams come true. They are such an amazing team and our communication with them was so easy. Every single detail was done with such a professionalism and with so much passion. If you are planning any trips in Namibia or outside Namibia consider that Wild Dog Safaris are the best.
We did the 10 day Namibian explorer with them and I have to say that it was an amazing trip. Our guides did the impossible to satisfy all our requests. We were pampered like little children.
I wanted to surprise my dad with boat fishing and they organized everything within couple of minutes. It was another lifetime experience.
Congratulations to all of members of Wild Dog Safaris !!!
You made me feel like I am at home.

Attentive, Professional, Thorough and Friendly
Being my first trip to Africa and choosing Uganda, I had limited expectations. A recommendation lead me to Advance Tours & Travel. From my first correspondence with this company, I was treated very well concerning all aspects of the trip from airport transfers, hotels, safari experience, advice and communication during my trip. I booked a gorilla trek for my son and myself which was a peak experience that I highly recommend. We also had the most wonderful driver for the entire trip who was not only knowledgeable about the areas we visited, but gave me complete confidence for our safety on mountainous muddy roads.
Advance Tours & Travel really listened to what I wanted to experience and designed every aspect to exceed my wishes. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Great honeymoon experience with Speke. Gorillas trek was amazing!
Planned a 3 week trip in africa for our honeymoon. Spent 4 days in uganda for a gorilla trek. Speke made the whole experience enjoyable. From the staff that helped us online via email communication to our host who chauffeured us to and from our hotel. All great service, very polite, always on time. They took care of all the details with lodges, getting the proper permits. Really couldnt have asked for a better experience. Thanks Guys.

Service and behaviour of Bruno Safari was disgusting and not professional.
We would like to inform you about some very irritating experiences we made while on safari with Bruno Safaris (http://www.brunosafaris.com/) in July 2014:
Our journey (July 14-20, 2014) including the chosen lodges in all the parks was planned and confirmed by Lawrence Kakai (representative of Bruno Safaris) in March 2014 (see details of this communication below). We paid the deposit as agreed and the rest in cash on arrival in Nairobi (USD 4600).
In the meantime however, our driver Joseph Nyaa had rebooked all the chosen and confirmed accommodation, replacing them with lodges that were of less, partly very poor, quality and presumably a lot cheaper. Of course, we were irritated and complained about the changes, but were given dubious reasons. We later learned, that the manager of all the new lodges was a friend of the driver.
In addition, one day of the Safari (we were meant to be driven to Lake Nakuru) was completely cancelled for reasons we did not understand either, so Bruno Safaris also saved the entrance fees for that park. All this was very disappointing and the numerous discussions with our very headstrong, sometimes even aggressive, driver lead to a lot of tedious situations.
After our return to Germany we contacted Bruno Safaris and at first Lawrence Kakai was very understanding, agreeing to a refund of part of the USD 4600 to our account. So far, nearly 2 months later, this money has not reached us and our numerous messages and questions to Bruno Safaris have remained without reply.
With a lot of tourists refraining from traveling to Kenya already - due to the political situation - unprofessional attitude like this, if not deceit, is very bad publicity for Kenya!

Experience of a lifetime!
We recently returned from a six day safari with Northern Circuit Adventure and I could not have asked for a better experience! The owner, Michael, was very responsive to any questions I had via email, I always received a reply within 24 hours. We had a wonderful guide, Ellios, who was very knowledgeable and could spot the most hidden of creatures miles away! Ellios noticed we were interested in birds and so would stop to show us all different species and explain their habits to us. Our cook Sweetmatt made us delicious food and was fun to have along on the trip. Our safari was an adventure of a lifetime and I could not have imagined a better experience! I would highly recommend this company to others - my sister is hoping to have an opportunity to visit Tanzania in February and I have already given her Michael's contact information! Thank-you Michael, Ellios, and Sweetmatt for the most amazing week!

Fantastic!
I did many safari, in South Africa, Namibia and Kenya, but I never saw so many animals like in Tanzania.
We also had a good time with hadzabe tribe.
A special thanks to Isaack that was a super good guide!

Asilia is the best group I have ever booked with, and I have booked with many!
I have lived in Tanzania for about 7 years and have booked several safaris with many different groups. I was pleased with Asilia from the first email to Judith to the inquiries after our safaris. I have been to almost every Park and game reserve in Tanzania and was quite surprised at how well I enjoyed our safaris with Asilia. The accommodations and food are far better than most and the staff are exceptional! The camps I have stayed at are in the best locations in any of the parks I have visited. I really can't say enough about how they run their safari company from start to finish. I will never use another safari company as long as they maintain the standards. Our next trip will be to Robondo Island, and it will definitely be booked through Judith! Thanks to Asilia for making a safari what it should be.
