Attention to details and great guide made for a wonderful trip.
Went to Uganda with Matoke, 10 day tour. Wim provided many details during the planning of the trip regarding travel times (very difficult without local knowledge), camp and food accommodations, and activities. I was able to tailor the whole trip to my desires, and everything went beautifully. My guide was Musa, a long time guide, with lots of local insight to the culture, landscape, flora and fauna of Uganda. He clearly takes pride in being Ugandan, and travelling alone with him for 10 days was informative and always pleasurable. Our schedule included many long days, and Musa endured them all with a smile. I would not hesitate to recommend Matoke to anyone considering African travel, and would ask for Musa specifically if I return to the area.

Great Stuff
We booked our trip with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris as a group of 10 medical practitioners. We wanted to visit Kenya and Uganda.It was a nice experience that none of us would not wish to forget.
One of the most spectacular trips I have ever done!
Communications to organise the itinerary and finalise the bookings, were prompt and efficient, and everything went according to plan during the trip which was absolutely fabulous. The guide's knowledge of all the tracks was remarkable and as a result we saw loads of birds and wildlife.

We will think of this outstanding and very successful safari for the rest of our lifes.
We were greeted by our excellent driver Confidence, who went out of his way to please us. A very safe driver, too. The accommodation and food were very good and the game drives very successful. We did see the chimpanzees and the gorillas both after one hour walk. Everything was well organized and the day drives not too long. We can only recommend Matoke tours!

Honeymoon in Tanzania
It Started in Africa organized our honeymoon in Tanzania. We did the south of the country and visited Selous game reserve and Zanzibar. Joao was very prompt to reply to all our emails and phone calls, we were received by a lovely driver in the airport and the safari guide was awesome. There was some confusion regarding the hotel where we were supposed to stay in Dar es Salaam but apart from that minor issue, everything was flawless and the zanzibar stay was unforgettable. Thanks Joao, Baraja, Martin, Sylvia and Lawrence for making our dream honeymoon reality.

Excellent- hassle-free.
KBS (headed by Esther) gave us a wonderful safari experience over 11 days. We selected 4 NPs (and accommodation) in Kenya and 2 in Tanzania and Esther handled all arrangements with great care and professionalism. She was prompt with replies/ clarifications. She even upgraded our accommodation in one place, to our pleasant surprise. Our drivers cum guide - John (for Kenya) and Henry (for Tanzania)- were both very competent, personable and went out of the way to spot the animals for us. John deserves a special mention here- it was great to be with him. We saw the Big 5 in Kenya within the first 3 days and saw the Big 4 in Tanzania. Lots of animals/birds were sighted. KBS exceeded our expectations. A great team to go with. ASANTE KBS.

It was a truly wonderful experience, a privilege to see animals in their natural habitat.
Thanks to Patrick and the African Encounter Team we had an amazing adventure in Kenya and Tanzania. With their expert guidance we tailored a diverse and very personal 4 week safari. We wanted to visit multiple locations for different wildlife viewing and their knowledge was invaluable in bringing it together. Our trip ran like clockwork, all of our transfers seamless. Whilst all our camps were amazing, chimpanzee trekking at Mahale Greystoke on Lake Tanganyika was an absolute highlight. So was seeing the all the 'Big 5' on the Mara. Visiting Africa had long been a wish and it did not disappoint.

One of the most memorable trips we ever made
We booked “Kruger, Panorama Route & Sabi Sands” Package (4 days) with accommodation at Rissington Inn.
We would book it again. This package is perfect for everyone who is looking for a first safari experience. Everything was nicely arranged and the guides provided very interesting information and made our game drives to unforgettable adventures.
The Rissington Inn is a nice place to stay. The rooms (bungalow) are huge and very quiet. The cuisine of Rissington Inn is top and the staff really cares about the guests.
