4 day gorilla and golden monkey treks
It was a wonderful trip. we were picked up at the airport by our guide and driver in a comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser and taken on a tour of Kigali. Transferred to our lodge for three nights. The accommodations (Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge) were clean and comfortable, the food was very good. the lodge staff was excellent. The nights were cold and the in room fireplace and hot water bottles in your bed were a welcome surprise. The treks were fantastic seeing the gorillas and the golden monkeys was special. The Arrive Africa staff was also excellent from the planning, getting the permits and the field staff that took excellent care of us. It was a well planned and executed.

Brilliant experience with Magical Retreat in Masai Mara, Nakuru
I visited Kenya recently (Oct 2016) along with my wife and 2 kids. I booked my holiday for 5 days in Masai Mara & Nakuru thru Magical Retreat and was the best tour operator I have met so far. Pamela was so flexible and accommodative to all my requests right from my initial discussions with her which started 6 months prior to my holiday until booking the accommodations of my choice making it 100% customized. The accommodation, food, safari vehicle was way beyond expectations. A big thanks to our guide Peter who drove us right from Nairobi airport, all thru the safari in Mara, Nakuru until we were dropped back safely on the last day to the airport. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife in Africa and did not give us a chance to miss the BIG FIVE. Its been a week since we came back and still talking about the trip just because the Magical Retreat crew made us so comfortable and memorable. I have already started to recommend my contacts (and highly recommend anyone) about Magical Retreat as the place to book who are interested to visit Kenya sooner or later. The pricing was just unmatchable when I compared with other tour operators (both in Nairobi and India). We also did a hot air balloon safari in Mara (booked thru Magical Retreat) and has been the best safari in our lives so far. Thanks a lot Pamela for taking care of everything requested...you guys are Awesome....coming back to Nairobi is back on our bucket list :-)
Thanks again and we'll keep in touch!

Excellent guide, excellent organisation, lots, lots of fun!
Nandzana Safaris was recommended by a friend. Communication via email was perfect, lots of humour and everything was possible! My expectations were sky hi, but the trip was even better....
The safari was one of the best experiences in my life, my mom and I loved it! We allready made plans to do another trip with Nandzana Safaris next year!
I recomend Nandzana Safaris to everybody who want to have the perfect safari in Krugerpark!
Thank 's again Craig!

Trip of a lifetime
We have returned from our Amsterdam and Africa Safari adventures safe and sound and very happy!
The trip to Rwanda and Kenya was absolutely spectacular. Our experience of seeing all the animals from the Gorillas, Elephants to the small Dik-Dik, the hospitality and quality of the lodges, to the knowledge and expertise of our guides, will live in our memory forever! We don’t think any other trip going forward will come close to what we experienced here.
Everything went off without a hitch; there was someone there to pick us up at the airports and drop us off which was comforting as they were friendly and knew exactly what to do.
We thank Chris for his guidance, recommendations and service!
Well looked after
Email response was quick and no problem contacting phone

Namibia 2016 Marvellous service
We travelled with Safpol Safaris several times. They organised for us a great stay in Mauritius couple of years ago, last year we visited South Africa with Safpol and we were very satisfied with the organisation of the tour as well as the choice of hotels and first of all, a really incredible service and excellent value for money in comparison what we were offered by Travel Agencies in Germany. Not even one cent was spent unnecessarily on all our trips with Safpol ( almost 30 % less for the same 4 * standard !!) We have been amazed how trustworthy this company has been at all times. Our last trip lasted 17 days. We started in Namibia and later continued to Botswana. Our Guide Peter had an enormous knowledge about all places we visited and he could provide the information in such an entertaining and interesting way that we way really surprised. He is also a very good driver, as it is very difficult to drive on african dirt roads full of cows, donkeys etc day and night. The tour was perfectly organised, which was not easy for such a long trip. The hotels were very comfortable and in Okavango Delta it was a fairytale ! (at a reasonable price, which was important to us, as most of the lodges there are incredibly expensive). From our bungalow on the river we could watch the most beautiful african sunrise. The food in all lodges chosen by Safpol was also excellent. The vehicle ( 4 x 4 Toyota Fortuner) , as well as the off-road trailer supplied by Safpol were in very good condition, which was important, especially when we saw many other cars stack in the mud or sand. Thanks to our incredible guide/driver, his knowledge and skills it has never happened to us during such a long trip over extremely difficult roads, especially in Botswana. Our Guide would fulfil all our wishes for example we wanted to attend a Mass at Catholic Church on Sundays almost in the middle of now-where in Africa ! and it happened. We will never forget the Holy Mass in Maun. The Faithful sing and dance during the service (as it should be) and the mass is really joyful . The local catholic community accepted us and sincerely welcomed. In one word; thanks to the magnificent organisation and thoughtful care, our African adventure will remain for long in our memory as a truly wonderful experience. Thank you Safpol Safaris !

One of the Best experience for the first timers.
Magical retreat gives an amazing service.. the tour guide which was provided was outstanding and the safari was completely same as mentioned. they dont have any hidden charges and is cheap as well as is worth the money. if anyone is looking for a safari and is a newbie then they really should go for them. plus the biggest advantage is that their safari is a private safari which is best for group of friends or if family is going.. should try it for sure..
