Fantastic memories, basking in warmth of East Africa
Tour was fantastic, one of a lifetine, one not to be missed. Memories will be with me for lifetime. Felt safe. Excellent driving skills over tough roads, fantastic sleeping quarters, definitely the best trip I've ever been on.

Family trip to South Africa
I entrusted our vacation to Kathi from African Welcome Safaris completely and was thrilled with the result. She put together a rich but relaxing 14 day itinerary. For example we did four days on safari versus the two or three that many others did. I think we had a much deeper exciting experience as a result.
Everything was smooth and seamless. The hotels were so much nicer than we'd imagined our budget would allow.
We had no real problems but the way Kathi kept in touch during our trip, I have no doubt that she would have been there to help resolve them.

Once if a lifetime experience
We had an amazing time on our safari – it was everything we could have hoped for and more; the accommodation (glamping and crater lodge) and food was excellent and BJ was such a great guide with excellent knowledge of the animals!

Good way to guarantee seeing animals
Communication is fast even if you are last-minute. You will be picked up from where you stay in Arusha. No last minute price changes on their part. The guide listens to the specific animals you want to see and tries his best to ensure you see them.

A great adventure - safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
It was just wonderful! My friends and I spent 4 days on safari in Tanzania and the trip exceeded my expectations. We saw more animals than we could ever imagine. Even during the very first hours we managed to see cheetahs running to catch their prey, lots of elephants very close to our jeep, giraffes, a leopard on a tree and more. The next days were even better and a definite highlight was going north towards the Kenyan border and seeing the wildebeest migration. Unforgettable! Our safari was organized perfectly. Antonio, our guide, was very kind, friendly and informative. It is definitely thanks to him that we saw so many wonderful animals. Benson's cooking was incredibly delicious and I miss it here at home. There's not a single thing we could complain about - it was just perfect. I strongly recommend Lights on Africa Destinations company as they are extremely professional, enthusiastic and warm people.

Great service, availability, good advice
From the first minute to the last, everything went smoothly. While planning, Violet was very helpful to answer our questions and suggest a program. Mosha, our driver and guide made a wonderful job, very professional while very personal too, always listening to our needs. We highly recommend Gorilla Tours to whoever wants to visit Uganda.

Outstanding service with knowledgeable tour guides
The best trip we've ever done. High-class service with outstanding tour guides. Historical sites, experiences with interesting encounter with wildlife. Got a glimpse of everyday life by visiting villages and cities. First-class hotels with good food and good service. Relaxing days at sea before returning home. A thoroughly well-arranged trip. Definitely not the last time we were traveling with Epic Tours.

Safari Trip
It is with immense pleasure I let you know that we have enjoyed the trip to the fullest and had a very good time marveling the beauty of Ngorongoro and Tarangere parks and its wild life abundance.
Special thanks to Amani, our guide and Mr. Godfrey who took care of the whole arrangement and had the goodwill to meet us in person and made sure we were happy.

Dreaming of Tanzania
We choosed the George's company (Kilimanjaro Champion) because we liked the idea it has been founded by a Masai woman and of course for the affordable price.
Passed the initial organizational problems, because of:
1) Our English is not very good
2) George is a very very very busy man, but do not be discouraged, persevere! :)
then we had the most inspiring, adventurous and exciting experience of our entire life.
The safari's staff was composed from the driver called Mr Peter Kimpinga, aka "The teacher" but for us "Mr 150% guaranteed" and Samuel the cook, a very kind and funny person and obviously a very good cook.
Every meal was good and the staff provided to all our needs.
We felt safe every day in every place, definitely at our own ease and we spent some unforgettable days with this people.
We slept in tented camps and it has been very comfortable, we also had a very fast shower in the middle of Seregenti directly in the tent!
Mr Peter talked us of a lot of things about Tanzania (nature, culture, traditions, people), we much appreciated his openess and his professional skills.
We'll never forget the Tanzania's people, the hundreds of Masai we met, all the wild animals (we saw all the big 5), the Serengeti starry sky, the magic and quiet of Ngorongoro crater, the "Jambo bwana" song that Peter taught us and we used to sing together in the vehicle and their incredible, amazing and true kindness.
We met George twice, at the beginning and at the end of the safari and he has been very kind and helpful with us.
We also met his wife and his little son! :)
So, we recommend to contact this company, don't hesitate!
George will customize your safari and will make it funny and interesting, trust me!
Many thanks to you again George for making our dream true!
We hope to see you again, all the best!

Great Tour in Ruanda
The tour was very well organized and Faruk our guide did an excellent job.
He was very competent, reliable, sensitive to our wishes. He knows a lot of the country and its people. His English is excellent. Faruk is a good driver (the car could be a little newer). For us it was obvious that he loves to be a tour guide.
