This company went above and beyond
We did a 9 day safari tour that we had a basic idea of the itinerary for, however, several times our accommodations were changed to a different location (albeit equal or better). This was happening as we were changing locations almost daily. It always worked out though, sometimes after some confusion but this company comes through for their customers that are in a bind for sure!! We didn’t bring debit cards (rookie mistake) we only brought credit card and (not enough)!cash! LeoBeast tours, specifically Lizzy, came to our rescue! Not only once, but twice with the cash we needed to get through. Her constant availability on WhatsApp was a REAL treasure! She helped guide us through some tough situations and was helpful in any questions we had as far as our itinerary. I would really recommend this company to anybody looking for this level of service at a competitive price.

All good
He has complied with everything contracted. We would have liked the guide to explain information to us during the safari. The meals are repeated every day, but the accommodations were great. To repeat.

Excelent service from the first email to good-bye at the airport.
Amazing 8 days in Uganda!!!
We decided for Ecovic Tour , because of easy and quick communication with Vincent. He provided us with all information and answered fast all our questions.
Our guide Hussein made and excellent job und was very friendly. He asked about our expectations and wisches and planed every day accordingly. Every day was different und full of great experiences and adventures, yet not too tiring. Whether it was in the jungle, savannah , village ot city ,we felt safe at all times. The meals took place in restaurants or lodges und there were always more possibilities to choose from. Local and international. The food was very tasty and we had no health problems.
All in all, we had a great time in Uganda.
We would like to thank Ecovic Tours and recommend it to everyone ,who is planning a trip to this beautifull country!

Amazing safari experience-highly recommend!!!
Our family of 5 from New Zealand booked this trip after several recommendations from friends who had booked with Stanley before. Stanley our guide and Chipa our driver were both super friendly and had alot of experience & knowledge that ensured our safari experience was fantastic. We saw SO many animals up close in all of the game parks we visited, even a lioness with 3 cubs! The accommodation and food was fantastic - our favorite was the Voyager Ziwani tent camp with hippos, monkeys and crocodiles up close and the Voyager Resort which was all inclusive. Absolutely loved our trip & very happy to highly recommend to others.

Good Budget Tour
This was my first time in Kenya, hence didn't knowvwhat to expect. But I
nenjoyed this tour. The accommodation and food were basic but I enjoyed it. Loved the Glamp Tents and the food was tasty.
The safari driver cum guide did hos best to show us as many animals as possible and I was glad to see the lions.
His radio had a technical issue towards the end and that was a downer although he tried his best to compensate for this.
We also did the Nasai village tour which we thought was very strange and didn't feel real but it was ok.
Special thank you to Benson for assisting me and my friend when we came back to Nairobi and riots had broken out. We couldn't go to the hotel we had booked previously and Benson very kindly helped us book another hotel in a safe area and transported us there safely.
Thank you Benson really appreciate you going out of your way to ensure we were safe.
Overall a good tour and I recommend this budget tour.

An unforgettable Safari with Leon
In August 2023, I had an absolute blast going on a safari in Tanzania with my in-laws, all thanks to our awesome guide, Leon. Our adventure took us through some stunning national parks where we got to see all sorts of wildlife, including leopards and cheetahs! 😃
Leon was fantastic! He knew everything about the animals and had a real passion for the environment. He expertly guided us through the amazing landscapes, making sure we had plenty of chances to see the animals up close in their natural habitat.
Leon’s enthusiasm was totally contagious. He had this amazing knack for spotting animals and sharing fun facts about each one, which made the whole experience even better.
On top of being a top-notch guide, Leon was super friendly and made us feel right at home from the get-go. He was patient with all our questions, paid attention to our needs, and went out of his way to make sure our safari was unforgettable. His stories and anecdotes added such a personal touch and made the trip even more fun.
I can't recommend Leon enough for anyone thinking about a safari in Tanzania. His dedication to making sure we had an amazing time truly made our trip one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking for a guide who will elevate your adventure and leave you with incredible memories, Leon is your guy!

Well organized, interesting itinerary and a knowledgeable guide
The initial communication with Twinkle Star was very good. All questions and concerns were quickly answered. There was a mix-up about our arrival time that caused us some stress when we were not met as planned but that worked out ok. Our guide/driver was friendly and knowledgeable. The itinerary was followed closely. The only animal on our list that we didn't see was a leopard. The most exciting were lions feeding on a buffalo carcass surrounded by hyaenas waiting for the leftovers. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The meals were mostly buffet with many food choices. I had no problem finding vegetarian options. All the different camps seemed to have the same food. The boxed lunches were also satisfactory. This is the only travel of this kind we have done so don't have anything to compare, but we enjoyed the experience. When researching Kenyan safaris Twinkle Star was competitive in price. We arrived home exhausted but since having time to rest and review and share our photos we only remember how much fun we had. It met our expectations.
We knew there would be a lot of time spent travelling between parks. Seeing Kenya outside the parks is part of the experience. But it was even more than anticipated. One drive was 12 hours instead of the 7-hour estimate. The two seatbelts in the middle row of the Landcruiser didn't work so when outside the parks we had to use the back which was not as comfortable.
FYI - Tipping was a problem that we weren't prepared for. US dollars seemed to be preferred over Kenyan shillings. Having small bills would have been helpful. We overtipped at times and sometimes didn't tip at all. Sometimes the tip could be added by credit card to the hotel bill.
