Wonderful experience about the tour.
The bad or sad part was the Hotel. The quality of the service need to be improved.

Great fun, a good budget safari option in a beautiful park
This is a really good option if you are on a budget. I did a trip with them to Kidepo NP and it was an amazing park and so much fun. Be aware that the trips leave from Kampala and so involve a lot of driving, but the vehicle is comfortable enough and also perfect for safaris as the roof raises up. The cooking was always very good and substantial, and our driver Rogers was great – he had some very long drive days and coped really well with it all. It was the cheapest option I could find to Kidepo and the 5-day trip means there is time for 2 game drives as well as the nature walk. I was very impressed with the drives as they lasted for about 5 or 6 hours each, so there was a lot of time to see many different animals! We were also the only car in the park which is very unusual in East Africa, but makes for a special experience.

Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater; beautiful!
We booked a safari for 2 persons, but one week before we wanted to our son and his girlfriend. No problem at all!
Easy commuication.
A wonderfull 5-day Safari to three different places seeing plenty of animals at close range.
We were very satisfied with our 5-day Safari. Massai Mara was definitely the highlight. The Nakuru park was a worthwhile addition as well as the Hell's Gate Gorge in Naivasha. The 45 minutes boat trip on lake Naivasha however was not worth the additional costs of 20 USD per person.
Accommodation and food was fine. Our guide was very knowledgeable on wildlife , culture, an excellent driver and a very pleasant person.

Amazing animal immigration tour!
Me and my friend booked this tour a few month ahead before we went to Africa. The total length of the tour is 6 days and 5 nights, we changed 3 times for accommodation during the trip because the places to see animals are quiet far from each other. It was so great to see so many wild animals, we saw lions, cheetah, flamingos, wildebeests, elephants etc in person! It was shocking by seeing them in real life instead of on TV programmes because they were so beautiful. And because of it is a private small tour, we had our private guide who's very friendly and helpful. We changed our guide for twice but both of them were very nice, nothing to complain. If there is anything that wasn't so perfect was the time traveled between destination to destination was way too long. I remember I spent almost 12 hours on the van one day for travelling and I didn't see any animals in that day, it was frustrating. And the accommodation wasn't very good to be honest, the last accommodation was horrible. They told us 3 days before we arrived at the camp there was a lion stopped by, and a week ago a group of elephants got too close to the camp that everybody stayed there had to leave for a while waiting for the elephants to leave. And the hotel was very poor. But consider it was in the Masai Mara reservation it's reasonable. After all we don't want human civilization be so close to that area of pure nature.

A Well Organised Safari
Vessel Africa organised a two week safari for my wife, my 10 year old daughter and me. The safari was well organised with suitable transport and excellent lodges covering a variety of aspects of Kenyan countryside and wildlife. Nothing went wrong and we came away very satisfied. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Once you started the tour it was Very Good. You just need to get past the office.
My husband and I were travelling for 2 1/2 months before we arrived in Cape Town. Before we left we got in touch and asked if there was any other information that was needed. We were told they had everything and an itinerary would be sent to us 60 days prior to arrival. We had to ask for this 3 days before arrival. During those 2 1/2 months on the road we were asked 3 and 4 times for the same information and sometimes by the same person. When I complained I was told that several people had to touch the file and sometimes things got lost. Information requested were flight arrivals and departures, emergency numbers etc. We then received a charge for $250 and were told this had to be paid before final arrangements could be made. After many emails we found out that a flight had been charged to our account that was not ours. Each email we sent we asked for confirmation and most of the time did not receive it. After many emails about flights the office still did not send the correct information to the guide that was waiting for us. We spent another hour at the airport waiting for this to be sorted out. It was very frustrating and we were concerned about the complete trip.
Then the guides took over. They were wonderful. The accomodations were good and the guides were knowledgeable, courteous and bent over backwards to help you out. The meals were fantastic and actually too much. We decided not to go for dinner one evening because we were not hungry. I think it would be best for us (not everyone) if you just had 2 big meals a day and a snack. We spent many hours in restaurants. The restaurants were wonderful but sitting and waiting 2 hours for lunch was not for us. You could pick anything off the menu so everyone was satisfied. The tours were great and the adventures were over the top.

Amazing experience
Communication between me and Africa Savanna Travel was good from the beginning. I had no hassles when i needed information. Response was quick and they showed patience with me as I kept changing arrangements. The stay at the lodge was lovely. The service was good. The panorama tour was amazing. Beautiful experience. I would definitely do it again and include the Kruger National Park drive. Thank you so much to the team.
