Fantastic lodge, staff, food
A group of 12 of us climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Sept 2013, and used honey badger lodge as our base in Moshi, plus used them to organise our 5 day climb up Mt Kilimanjaro via the marangu route. Everything from the minute we arrived at the airport was spot on, 100% satsifaction from all 12 in the group. The accommodation at honey badge lodge is superb, lovely rooms, fantastic swimming pool, and the food was very very good, especially the pizza. And with a cold kilimanjaro beer what more could you want.
The guides they provided were expectional, they made sure all 12 of us reached the summit. The food on the moaunitan was also great. We could not fault anything, from the pick up at the airport, the accommodation & food, teh guides and experts on the mountain. We would all recommend them 100%. So much so, there is a group of 31 of us climbing Kilimanjaro in October 2015, and we will be using the exact same blueprint as last time.

Tanzania - 3 parks and Big Five
Thank you Philemon, Iris and Jordan for the amazing safari experience. Everything from planning to execution was smooth and efficient.
We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Highlands Coffee Farm and had time of our life.
Philemon, our driver guide, was fantastic and he's knowledge of places, animals and people was amazing. He made us feel unique, not like just another customer.
If you are looking for a Safari Operator for your trip, stop looking, Tanzania Serengeti Adventure is the operator that makes your dream come true.

great 5 days in Selous
I went with Kanuth Adventures to Selous from Dar in December for 5 days. Both our driver/ guide Immanuel and the cook Joseph were very nice and did a great job. We spent the first and the last night in Hippo Camp just outside of Selous Reserve, doing a nice boat tour on the evening of the first and a walking safari on the morning of the last day. The three days in between we spent in Selous, camping at Lake Tagalala (thus staying right in the middle of the reserve and not losing unnecessary time driving in and out). There were not as many animals as you see in the pictures from Serengeti, but I very much enjoyed the experience as we did find lots of animals (lions, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, various monkey, giraffes, water bucks, impalas, warthog, wild dogs (!) ...) but it was really being out in the wild without too many cars around. Food was excellent and Immanuel was a good guide and a safe driver. We had some problems with the car one morning but Kanuth organised a replacement car and a mechanic so that was solved in reasonable time. Great trip at avery reasonable price! Thank you!!!

Excellent experience
I had an amazing safari with my family. I am very happy about the arrangements and the gamedrives fulfilled more than my expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was more than willing to find the Big five for us.
We stayed at five different lodges, one of the best was at a coffe farm. It is absolutely worth a visit.
A big Thank you to Iris and Philamon för making our safari one of our best experiences.

Good safari but with problems
We had 5 day and 4 night safari Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro with world-tours-safaris. At the beginning the contact with Mr Richard was very fast and clear. We got a lot of information that we need. But the first day of safari was terrible for us. We heard that the other couple who had joined to us did not come on the time. We had one hour late pick up from the hotel, then we started the safari at 11 with minivan (not land cruiser that was in offer). My seat was wet. The minivan had an open roof but without the top-up roof so we had a lot of sun when we open and spend all the time open and close the roof at the safari. No air and very hot in the car because the windows were not openly and were with a lot of scratches and we had not a clear view. Our car was the worst on the safari that day. We were disappointed of this day and Mr Richard told us that we agreed with this and it was private safari when we gave the call to him at the evening - although we did not have any other option. The second day we start our safari with land cruiser and with another one tourist - not that couple. From this day we had a good safari to the end with our guide Aron who was engaged. We saw a lot. But at the end when we were in the office Mr Richard start our conversation from worlds: What was the problem. We were so disappointed. We didn’t heard a word of sorry and any questions about our feedback. The other things from our point of view - be prepare for old tent with not so nice smell and the other equipment’s are old and very used.
We had also not nice case of visit Masaii village and making the picture of this community and not nice the case of tips from the other tourist who was with us. Serengeti was fantastic i would like to be there again but I would like to try with another company.

A pleasant and interesting experience
Each year we travel during 2 weeks ( little groups : maximum 12 people ) to discover a new country, and we are looking for agencies which are able to help us to discover classical places but also places "off the beaten track" and make new experiences . We appreciate a professional guide ( good organisation + good relationship with the members of the group + good knowledge of the country ) .
This year, with Thierry and the tour "Route des Jardins", the objective has been fullfilled !
Thank you very much Thierry for all these beautiful, pleasant and interesting moments !
I apologize for my english !

No go Operator!!
I got offer from this company by email. On arrival in Kampala they changed the itininerary at once and gave me lower value als before. The guide Erick was lazy, almost driving to fast and not safe, coming late for departure, not want to stand up early in morning. I missing completly the knowlodge about how to make a tour with foreign guests.
May be other guides are better, but please never go with Erick!

Due to very last minute booking, communication with Ute at RYC went smooth, gave great confidence.
Communication with Ute went very well, quick answers, to the point and within very short we agreed to do the tour.
The tour itself was a great success despite our wide experiences in Kenya and Tanzania. Logistically everything was well arranged, tickets, transfers, accomodation etc etc. It is always good when during the tour you have no questions. Next to that Botswana, and i have to highlight 1 place " Kana Kara", was terrific. Chobe Safari Lodge and A'Zambezi River Lodge were perfect as well but in another category. "Kana Kara" is a place due to its basics, location and people you never forget. Thanks Ute, well done.

Christmas in Africa
Peter was very forthcoming with details and professional when handling problems that arose during our time in Africa. I couldn't have asked for better driver in Mariki and most of the places we lodged were what we expected and one even better than we thought it would be. We saw everything our hearts desired and participated in all we wished. You couldn't ask for more from a company.
