Top notch planning and organization made for an unforgettable trip!
Had the most amazing trip trough Kenya organized by Charlie’s Travels! The expectations were so high at some point I thought it might never live up.. but instead the whole trip went above and beyond anything we could have imagined!!
Highly recommended!!!

Nature Journalers: taking it slow and deliberate, time to observe and record; knowledge from guides!
As a group that had come to Tanzania to journal and record in words and images our experiences, Face of Africa Adventures allowed us to have the trip we all had dreamed of. A slow and easy pace, taking the time to stop and let us observe and record and paint, journal, photograph as we needed. We saw so many things that others passed by! The drivers/guides provided wonderful information, not just identifying what we were observing, but giving us background stories and information, anecdotes and lore. I have always wanted to go on an African Safari, but part of me felt it could never be on my terms: that slow easy pace to really see and experience the wonder of this land. Face of Africa Adventures turned out to be an exemplary safari company that made a dream come true!

fantastic trek
Kilmanjaro trekking has always been among my wishes and Gypsy made it all true and wonderful.We came on a recommendation from a friend and we couldn't wait to have the great experience.Firstly Dida (The manager) was very welcoming and was there on time at the airport to pick us.She later introduced us to her whole team and they took care of us and gave us all the details.
where should I start?our guides were very good and very attentive.They taught us many things about the mountain,the climate,flowers and also the altitude.They were constantly checking on us and went extra step to ensure that we have a great experience.They felt like family and the food was very tasty and freshly prepared.
II am really glad that my trek was very good .We trekked through machame 6days and added 3nights of safari to the National parks.The Gypsy team is well organized and I highly recommend this company for its best service.

Perfect experience
I had the time of my life from the time I started communicating with the Agent to the last day of my Safari. He was very accommodative and friendly considering my booking was only two days to the Safari. I visited maasai mara and hells gate Naivasha.It was a surprise for my boyfriend who enjoyed the safari as well.

A marvelous adventure!
Excellent facilitation overall by Maasai Mara Train Safaris. I'd seen the Big 5 in a day- that most visitors did not. Thanks to driver Sammy who is very experienced in the area- from Nairobi to vast game reserve of the Maasai Mara region. He was able to dodge traffic jams in the highway and get a good vantage point to see the animals in the Reserve. On our way to and in the area, Maasai Mara Train Safaris personnel calls to check my whereabouts, explained my onward journey, and answered my questions. The driver ensured we had food and water for the day, was able to keep time within limits, and was also able identify and talk about a few important characteristics of the animals which was all I need. And given that I was on a low budget (I paid the lowest fees compared to my fellow visitors on the same journey), it was truly the best value for my money.
Some areas I could recommend- is to maintain a First Aid Kit in the vehicle for common motion problems. The driver must also know how to administer basic first aid procedures and AR. Additionally, it will make the travel more interesting if the driver could be better organized to tell significant stories about the places being travelled and visited- although this might to too much to expect from them, considering their role in the journey, and that it may require time and training resources to get them to that level.
Overall, it was an exciting adventure in the Kenyan Maasai Mara outback. Thanks to MAASAI MARA TRAIN SAFARIS. You deserve a big 5-star!

Gorilla Tracking in Uganda
The Encounter Africa Safari communicates efficiently when I reached them for the information of the Gorilla Tracking Tour. They provide enough genuine information about the trip, and the service is exactly as described in their e-mail. They provide airport pick up, hotel drop off. The driving to national park takes the whole day, and they can arrange the meals, accommodation and the local guides for the Gorilla tracking.
It is recommended that you should book the Gorilla Tracking trip in advance as there is a restriction on the number of visitors to each Gorilla Family every day. The trip requires good physical ability of hiking, especially for certain families happening to occur in high mountain on the visiting day. It can be labor-demanding to reach them but when you find the silver back family, it is totally worth it.
Excellent tour
The tour was very well organized and an overall great experience. We saw all animals!

The organisation for travels to Africa if you want a personal, amazing and special trip.
Everything we wanted was included in our trip. The communication before the trip and during the trip was really good, we could ask for anything! Charlie Travels made sure that we had the trip of our dreams!

Unforgetable safari...go for it!!
If you are looking for a professional tour operator for your African safari, you've found it!
We had a 10 days safari visiting lake Manyara, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater, the banana plantations in Mto Wa Mbu and the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. It was all very well organized and we had an unforgettable experience that we want to repeat again with them!
All the team from "Cross to Africa Safaris" has been great! Anthony (the manager) planned the amazing our trip: he was very professional, very helpful and flexible with our requests and always available and ready during the planning process. The guide/driver (Ahadi) has been the most professional safari guide we ever met: he is extremely knowledgeable (we nicknamed him "Google"!), a great person and he knows how to make you experience the safari at its best (e.g., he always knew when to wait for an interesting scene, where to spot animals and how to position the car for you to take the best photo!). And finally, the cook (Baraka) was always making us feel home with his food!
Don't hesitate and choose them for your own safari!

4 DAYS 3 NIGHTS MASAI MARA PRIVATE SAFARI
We booked a 4 day’s private safari in Kenya with Africa Flash McTours and we couldn’t have chosen a better partner. From the beginning, they were always extremely available and ready to adapt the program to our requests. We wanted to stay at a specific camping in Masai Mara where there was initially no availability and Peter was tireless trying to get us to book our three nights at this camping. Thank you, Peter, for all the dedication and kindness from the beginning
