An amazing time
World Air Tours, and their guide, John, really delivered a great time. Six adults, ten days, five-two lions, two black rhinos, five leopards and uncounted elephants, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, etc. etc. We stayed at two wonderful lodges and two comfortable tent camps. The food was always good and plentiful. We really enjoyed having meals with John and learning about his life, his family and his country. The Safari was truly like nothing we've ever done and are so happy that World Air Tours put together a flawless trip. Thank you!

Machame Route - Kilimanjaro Hike and 4-day Tanzania Safari
Overall a fantastic experience and would book again with this company. A friend and I booked the our 6 day Machame hike with Focus in Africa and was quite affordable and professional. I was picked up from Kilimanjaro International airport and taking to Lionsgate Hostel, which had breakfast and supper meals included as well as a friendly environment to be apart of with the Host, staff, and other people using the hostel being very nice. The hike was awesome with our head guide Charles. Charles has completed many hikes was very experienced and knowledgeable in regards to hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. Meals on the hike were delicious and totally unexpected. All in all, would again book a Kilimanjaro hike with Focus in Africa.
As for the 4-day safari, again not enough said about how great this experience was. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide was very knowledgeable when it came to the different game in the parks as well as finding the best spots to see animals. Heading into the national parks can be a headache for some as wait times can range from 10 minutes to an hour or so. However, we never spent a ton of time at each gate entrance, and our guide made sure to get through in a timely matter. As well, we wanted to get up early to see active game in the parks as this is the best time to see them, and our guide made sure of this as we headed out in the early morning hours where we had great luck in seeing all types of game. Again, I would recommend Focus in Africa to book a safari. Hope I can visit again!

Quite an amazing experience!
We had an amazing 3-day gorilla trek into Rwanda thanks to Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge whom once visited their website we were redirected to their sister tour company Gorilla voyage Rwanda. Emmanuel was always amazingly quick to answer emails and this reassured us that we would get a good service come the time. The gorilla permits were sorted quickly and again good communication when we sent the money transfers for the gorilla permits which were scanned and send to us. After booking, our plans changed a month before our trip. Instead of forfeiting our deposit, Emmanuel held it until we could reschedule two months later.

Kili, we did you!
Climbing the Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience. From the 31 Augustus until the 5th of September we climbed the mountain together with an amazing team of Tanzania Climbing Outfitters & Safaris Ltd.
Each day we walked a maximum of 6 hours. The routes and views were incredible. Together with our great guides we walked everyday to the next camp. We walked and slept on different heights to make sure we were able to acclimatize. It was tough, cold but all worth it. On the 5th day we made it to the top in 6 hours. We were exhausted but the view and the experience to be on the roof of Africa was such a great feeling. Something we will never ever forget. A big cross at our Bucket List!
Thank you very much for the organization, service, professionality & hospitality!

Dutch rangers on tour
I've have had a great time with the tour guides of Shemeji Safari & Tours. We went with 4 Dutch girls on a 3 day safari in the Serengeti area and Ngorongoro crater. On Friday we left very early in the morning to the Serengeti National Park. On the way Jozef tried to repare the electricity in the car, so we were able to charge our phones and camera's. Unfortunately this did not work out. After passing the registration areas, luckily It did not take that long as we had expected, we entered the park. On the first day we had perfect weather and we have seen lots of animals already. Jozef was very helpfull to find as many animals as possible. After a long but satifsying day we arrived at the camp where our amazing chef started to prepare our dinner. The food was very good and filled our bellies. After a shower, which was possible since a couple of weeks, we were ready to go to sleep. The next morning we woke up early to see the beautiful sunrise. The second day was again a warm and beautiful day. It is such an amazing park with lovely views and animals. In the afternoon we almost saw a lion catching a Gazelle, nevertheless the Gazelle recognized the lion and ran away. At the end of the day we arrived at our second camp in the Ngorongoro crater. A nice place with a view inside the crater. It was pretty cold in this area, so we went bed early and tried to make ourselves warm enough.
The next day we went into the crater. It was still a bit cloudy and chilly, but this created a beautiful sky with some sun coming through. Around noon we left the crater and went back to Arusha.
It was such a great safari. I have been on safari in South Africa and this felt much more like a real safari. I would definitely recommend Shemeji Safari & Tours and hope that I am able to come back to see more from the Serengeti area. Thank you so much for this experience! I will never forget it!

Land and Lakes Safari organized an absolutely amazing, unforgettable weekend for me.
Land and Lakes Safari exceeded my expectations on this trip. It was my very first ever safari and I will recommend them to anyone looking for a trip to South Luangwa. They put me up in a fantastic lodge and made everything so easy and enjoyable. They took care of it all! I am very pleased and will definitely use their services again.

Lake Mburo safari - great trip!
I had two days in Uganda to make a small safari - Home to Africa Tours offered me a splendid tour to Lake Mburo National Park with great game drives and a bot trip on a big lake to spot hippos, of which I got to see many. This park was a beautiful destination, and only 4,5 driving from Entebbe, which offered me the opportunity to also view something of Uganda itself. The service and tailor made attitude of Home to Africa Tours was fantastic - they were very responsive, reliable, to the point and very clear in their communication. Lake Mburo does not offer the Big 5 but as I was limited in my time and this park was my best option, I thoroughly appreciated the game drives there (with a great and competent guide!) in which I got to spot giraffes, zebras, warthogs, vulgars, birds, hippos and many antelopes and deers. The accommodation (lovely safari lodge) was at the edge of the park, very hospitable people with good food accompanied by a good glass of wine of you like. I would definitely choose Home to Africa Tours again my I have the opportunity to do a next safari in Uganda - they offer many different tours.

Getting all those little details right!
Such a great trip! It was obvious that the team really care about what they do and are determined to get everything right for you. Lovely attention to all those little details that add up to make the whole thing a great experience....and we laughed so much!! A beautiful, beautiful place , coffee plantation,waterfalls and great company. We had actually gone with them the year before as well on the Ngorongoro safari tour which was such an excellent holiday. I would really recommend Godfrey and his team at African Traits.
