Trip to Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park
Blue Oceans provided transport for us, a team of 15 people going to have fun in Shimoni at the coast of Kenya. The drivers were excellent and the office kept monitoring our welfare. We would continue engaging Blue Oceans for more activities we are planning.

Trip of a lifetime
I found the staff most helpful. Aron, our booking agent, always came back to me promptly and designed a varied tour of Victoria Falls that made our holiday relaxing and interesting, making the place come alive. I would go back tomorrow if I could. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Good price and nice service!
We had a very good safari when we went with quest horizon and could organis the trip exactly as we wanted! They were very helpful and everything during the trip was included such as tents, mattresses, pillows, food and water! The cook that came with us made delicious food and usually 2 or 3 courses! We got to see all the animals we wanted and when we told the guide what we were interested in he made sure to keep extra lookout for those animals!

Amazing experiance
Booking on line was a bit shaky and because of the huge time differences it was difficult to contact the office by phone. But when I did get hold of Talbert he was very polite and helpful. Joseph met us at the airport and he was a gem throughout the entire trip. He went out of his way to make sure our every need was met. Joseph's knowledge of each area and the customs was outstanding as was his knowledge of the birds and animals. His driving skills on some difficult roads was amazing.
Our accommodation was basic but comfortable and the food was good. Some of the hotels were a little far from the activities which required early morning starts. Both the gorillas and the Chimps were an awesome experience with super guides. The guide, Leo, we had on the swamp walk was excellent his knowledge and enthusiasm was amazing.
Joseph was a remarkable person with a fabulous sense of humour and he really made the trip so special for us. He showed us Uganda in its entirety, it is a beautiful country with any different facets. We came to love Joseph like family and we were all sad to say goodbye.

Unforgettable experience!
I went to Selous Game Reserve with a friend in September. At first we didn't know what to expect, because it was our first time in Africa and doing a safari was something new to us. We took the 3 day pack and stayed at Hippo Camp. I made reservations online, and everything went just as planned. From the very beggining we felt this was a great choice because we trusted on what we were booking. So, Davis picked us up in Dar es Salaam and we drove all the way to Selous. Since the moment we got on the jeep until the end of the trip, nothing but great things happened. We are VERY happy we met Davis. We were treated as family, we had an awesome cook that gave us delicious food every day. The people from Hippo camp were very friendly and took care of us all the time. We felt very happy and comfortable there. The safari experience was Great. We can't think of anything wrong about this trip, it was the best travel experience of our lives. Davis has a lot of experience, he could see the animals from a very very far distance, he showed us everything in detail, and also explained a lot of things to us about the animals, their behaviour, etc. We enjoyed this safari 100% and will never forget it. Next year we are going back definitely with Davis as a guide.

The best holiday ever
My family of four (two adults and two kids aged 8 and 10) booked a 12 day safari through Nature Travel Namibia based on great reviews on Trip Advisor. It's safe to say we were not disappointed.
We visited a range of parks in Namibia, Chobe in Botswana, and finished at Victoria Falls. Namibia was a stand out in terms of animals, and Mushara Lodge was outstanding. I would strongly recommend people spend some extra time at Chundakwa accommodation in Livingston at the end of the trip - my family could have spent a few days here with the hosts Doug and Gail. In fact, I'm already thinking about getting back thre to see more of Zambia.
Nick and his staff were always quick to respond to any questions. They planned out an itinery that perfectly suited what we wanted to see and the time we had.
Payment was straight forward, and although I am always a bit nervous about transferring large amounts of money via bank transfer, there were absolutely no problems, Nick and his team can absolutely be trusted.
Our guide for the safari was Kit - he was absolutely fantastic, and the kids loved him. He knew Etosha like the back of his hand and ensured we saw the full range of animals, including lions almost every day, and leopards on three separate occasions. Amazing is the best way to describe it.
I would highly recommend Nick and his team at Nature Travel Namibia - you won't be disappointed. Oh, and if you're very, very lucky, you might even get Kit as a guide.

Amazing Experience
Affable was great while booking and gave us tons of information beforehand so we were very well informed beforehand. They were very flexible if you wanted to do anything outside of the itinerary.
The tour was better than anything I could have imagined. All the camps we stayed in were amazing, our favourite being the Kibo camp in Amboseli.
Our guide Robinson was fantastic. I could not imagine the trip without him. He was with us every step of the way and was very knowledgeable on everything about the animals and culture. He is a walking encyclopedia! We always felt very safe in his company. We managed to see the whole Big Five up close. Robinson would not settle for seeing stuff far off or in crowded areas but would search for your own special close ups. I do not believe we would have gotten to see so many animals without him. I highly recommend him and Affable.
Anyone unsure of a Kenya trip due to current travel advisories - Most of the parks are along the south border and the security issues are along the north (very far away). The areas we were in were very safe! The bonus is that it is much less busy right now so its great to take advantage before the crowds come back.

Not having been there or done that, we put our trust in Thierry at THSC, and all went extremely well
When I was training for a climb up Kilimanjaro, I often would talk to people about my up coming trip to Tanzania. When the conversation turned to doing a safari, 1 local company kept being mentioned by those who'd been on one. The Heritage Safari Company was being recommended to me by random chance. I contacted Thierry and he recommend a 7 day safari for my son and I that was a tented camp experience through 5 parks. There was never a dull moment, or wasted down time. The variety of camps, parks, experiences and sites were excellent. Including our guide "Saffi". Thierry's knowledge and guidance made our experience an excellent one. Hakuna Matata!
