AMAZING
I am now back in Australia after an unforgettable trip to Tanzania. It truly was a trip of a lifetime. One word that i said several times a day was AMAZING. It was very emotional at times, exhilarating exhausting and inspiring. It was difficult at times to take everything in and i was on sensory over load a lot. I have many many "National Geographic" worthy photos to reflect upon and to show off. Spending $1200 on a 500mm lense was money well spent.
I was so fortunate to be with put with a group of the most "amazing" (there's that word again) people. All complete strangers at the beginning but firm friends after 8 days. So much so that we are all catching up in December when i travel to London and Europe. There were hugs and tears when we parted.
Our guide from Ranger Safaris Ndossy was brilliant. So knowledgeable on simply everything and a pleasure to be in his company.
All of the accommodation was first class. Very comfortable and welcomed after a long day bumping around on dirt roads and taking in the breath taking sights of Northern Tanzania. The staff and food at each establishment was faultless.
I was very fortunate to see the big 5 and there were also some unique sights that aren't mentioned in the tourist guides.
I will definitely be returning and am telling all of my friends and I have inspired many of my friends to do the same safari.
My flight to Zanzibar went off with out a hitch and spending 3 weeks on Zanzibar with old friends was wonderful and I certainly got to experience Zanzibar much more than the average tourist. It was bitter sweet leaving as i had met so many wonderful people and my FB page now has alot more friends on it.
Thanks so much to Diederik from African Ubuntu Safaris for holding my hand every step of the way from my first enquiry, to the follow up post holiday e mail. He gave me a lot of confidence particularly that I was travelling alone. African Ubuntu's service was first class and very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to others and use again for myself.

An amazing trip in Uganda!
Matoke are very professional. They spent a lot of time with me for the planning of the trip and the elaboration of the itinerary (private tour). During the trip, the guide was very good. He was smart, had a lot of knowledge. We learned a lot about the country and the nature. We always felt safe. We are already thinking about the next trip and probably we will go again with Matoke.

Awesome Experience
Its an awesome experience. The hospitality, transparency and value for money derived from using this agency makes me want to use them over and over again.
Amazing!
If you’re looking for an exceptional safari experience at an exceptional value, choose SAFARI BIG 5. The price (per person, per day) is one-fifth of many alternatives but delivers the full experience with flawless logistics and great accommodations. Perhaps most importantly, our assigned guide, Nadin, was a delight to be with. From the pick up at the hotel in Nairobi to the final drop off in Arusha, Imran Esmail at Safari Big 5 was on top of everything detail and cheerfully met all of our needs. The vehicle was in great condition and was driven off-road by an expert who was passionate about finding every animal for our viewing. The Kati Kati tented camp was beyond our expectations, with excellent beds, washrooms, and dining facilities. The Octagon Lodge was full of character and we especially appreciated the huge barbeque they put on for our last night. The Ngoroongoro Wildlife Lodge overlooking the Ngoroongoro crater was nothing short of breathtaking.
You can pay five times as much, but I’m hard pressed to understand how our experience could have been improved by paying more money. It was quite simply the experience of a lifetime.

So much more than expected.
Nicholas was very helpfull in every way and arranged for a perfect trip in all aspects. He answered patiently all my questions and emails very quickly with helpfull answeres and information.
On the airport I was met by my driver / guide Chris who were equally helpfull and had a thouroughly good knowledge of everything from Rwandas history to its culture and animals.
If I get the opportunity I most certainly will use Nicholas and his company again and I will have no trouble of asking for Chris as my driver once again as well.
I recommend Gorilla Trek Africa for all its worth.

Wonderful tour
My family and I typically do not do group bus tours, but we all loved this one. Our guide Antonella was friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining, and guided us through Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. We were given short tours/introductions to each town and had plenty of time to explore each one on our own. My favorite stop, however, was lunch at a farm along the way. The food was great, the setting was charming, and we bought some wine to take home! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Last minute Safari
It was a spur of the moment decision to go on Safari in Tanzania, the procedure of receiving Visa upon arrival in Tanzania is just so convenient. We explored the Northen Circuit and spent a week in Manfia island,learning how to Scuba dive, Marco is a great Padi instructor. Great times.

The most memorable experience of my life
Malcolm!
Find myself one month removed from what was the most memorable experience of my life feeling like it just happened yesterday! This trip and your guidance exposed me to the very core of life, nature, the wild! To have witnessed up close and encountered so much amazing wild life in their natural habitat like the two lioness was above and beyond any expectations, thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't wait to go back!!!!
