Excellent Excellent!
We did a 4-day tented safari and it was really the experience of a lifetime! We saw all the big 5 and much more. Also a lot of special sightings such as servil cats and a cheetah. Our guide kababa was very good at spotting the animals and also very knowledgeable, always explaining us interesting facts about them. Our chef Dullah was also great and cooked fantastic food for us. We really enjoyed it a lot and especially my friend was very happy about the excellent gluten-free food she received! The tents were huge and very comfortable and it was awesome to hear the animals so close by at night. Shabani was very kind as well, answered all our questions very quickly and patiently during the planning and booking of the safari. We were even able to arrange a short private tour with him to the Materuni Waterfall a few days later when we had a long stopover between two flights. All in all everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend booking with Nchingo safaris!

We had an amazing trip!
My gf wanted to do something special to celebrate her 30th and we bounced between a few different locations/trips and finally settled on Africa. We have each travelled quite a bit but felt like a safari was more than we wanted to try to plan ourselves so we emailed several tour operators to get quotes/plans/proposals. eTrip stood out from the start with their very detailed proposal and cost breakdown as well as their quick responses, dedicated truck and driver/guide, and accommodations with Lemala camps.
Our driver, David, was a joy and knew not only every animal we saw but every BIRD as well [which is a huge feat with the variety present]. He kept our truck extremely tidy and I was impressed that it was even washed almost every night in the bush.
I would highly recommend eTrip and will definitely use them again when we go back [We've already talked about it!]

Perfect !
This has been our first safari and we have been very lucky to choose Bateleur to do it. From the first moment, before traveling to Kenya, they provided us with all the information, prices and advice in a friendly and helpful way. Once we arrived in Kenya everything was ready for our arrival and we didn't have to worry about a thing. During the whole week that our safari lasted, our guide Peku (who also speaks Spanish) was very kind, very professional and always willing to make our trip perfect. In addition to knowing the parks perfectly and making us enjoy every day of our trip, they also took care of all the transfers, travel tips, PCR tests, etc. etc.
For our next trip to Kenya we will certainly repeat with them and we sincerely recommend it to all travelers, you will not regret it. Thanks to Mathew and Peku for this unforgettable week.

Great trip, amazing customer service
We had a brilliant trip visiting East Tsavo and the Taita hills. Our guide Alpha was great at spotting interesting things, and asked what we wanted to see to take us to the right habitats for those animals. He had great information about the different things we saw. We stayed at Saltlick lodge, which was absolutely beautiful. The food was great and it was wonderful to be able to see wildlife right outside the window. Tunu was really wonderful helping us arange the trip. She was great at answering questions and checked in with us regularly. She was happy to accommodate our specific requirements, and offered to help and support us with any other concerns on our trip, including before and after our tour with her. I would absolutely recommend Tammy Tours to anyone visiting Kenya.

We have booked a few holidays through Sister Safaris and each time they have been brilliant. They always get us great prices, they are always willing to help and always friendly. We look forward to booking many more holidays through them!

loved every second of it
I booked Kenya- Tanzania combined safari (budget) with Big Time Safaris. I was a little worried to begin with as I have never been to Africa before. Steve was very helpful, made me feel so much better months before the trip, up until the day it started.
Given that I was solo traveler, I was not even asked to pay twice as much like the other safari companies on the internet. All the same great price.
Kenya part of the safari was perfect. I loved every second of it.
All the staff involved were very friendly, the landscapes were to die for, the food lovely any healthy, journeys from one park to another were as enjoyable.
I saw all big five and more...
As for my guide/driver Eric (in Kenya Part) ; he is one of the nicest, kindest persons I have ever had the privilege of meeting.
He is very professional, knowledgeable, very helpful and of course one of the best drivers I have seen. He went above and beyond to ensure I saw all big five. I will definitely ask for him to be my guide again when I get back...
Tanzanian part of the safari was unfortunately not the same. I enjoyed it nonetheless though i would not opt for it again. It is a beautiful place, lovely landscapes, nice people but parks are huge, animals are generally really really far. Though the food was amazing, the safari was chaotic, my itinerary changed and man! beware of the tsetse flies!!!
I cannot wait to book my next African adventure next year or so and I definitely would go for Big Time Safaris again
Highly recommend it.

The best vacation of our life so far… we definitely do it again.
For so long we were looking on going on a vacation in Africa, we didn’t know exactly where to start but through a friend recommendation, who has already been in Africa recommended Sensation of Africa to us. We did a 12 days Safari where they helped us, with the whole planning until the last Safari package that we were all satisfied with a fair price. When we arrived in Tanzania and met them for the first time, we knew we were in good hands, they transferred us to a Hotel in Arusha and they did a briefing of the Safari to see if everything we requested was as it was planned before and yes everything was in place.
All of the 12 Days we stayed in Tanzania were amazing from the accommodations, the food, the Safari jeep and almost every day they would give us surprises such as sunset picnic set on the wild with a lot of drinks, a big thanks to our guide John who always made sure we were all fine and happy throughout the Safari.
Thank you! Sensation of Africa we will definitely come back. We wish you the best from Amelia & Thomas

They are well prepared in delivering services
The Safari was great, the organization was amazing and the attention from the owner, the guide and the cook was incredible. I was in touch with Allan before i traveled because I had so many questions as it was my first safari and I was also traveling alone. He advised me which pack would be the best to see more animals during March and I booked a small group safari for 3 days in Serengeti and ngorongoro. When I reached Arusha he contacted me also to make sure everything was good and during the trip the guide and the cook took very good care of us and always letting us decide what we wanted to see, how long we wanted to stay in each place to watch the animals. We were always astonished about their good eyes which discovered the animals long time before us and able to answer our numerous questions regarding animals and culture. Also our cook Paul surprised us every day with delicious meals. I would book with them again and again. Their prices are the best online and in person compared to most companies. Im very happy i did the Safari with them.

TOHE are experts in making our safari dream a reality
These guys are legit. My wife and I knew we were going on the adventure of a lifetime. We just didn’t know how easy it was going to be. TOHE took care of everything: lodging, meals, schedule, permits, etc. We just had to book our flights and show up. Upon our arrival, Richard was there waiting at the airport ready to explore Tanzania. I can’t recommend a better company to safari the Serengeti with. Our guide Richard was an expert in all wildlife. He knows when and where to find exactly what you’re looking for. Nothing is ever guaranteed when venturing out into the wild, but I can confirm during our 10-day safari we saw EVERYTHING (lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, dozens of bird species, a handful of monkeys, and so much more). You can truly feel the passion Richard has for Tanzania and his goal to show you how beautiful his country is. I understand a trip like this can be overwhelming. Believe me, it’s a lot to process at first but TOHE walked us through each item (necessary vaccines, documents, visas, etc.) to ensure we were comfortable with what to expect every step of the way. Thank you TOHE for giving us a once in a lifetime trip. You truly delivered and we’ll be forever grateful. Your friends, Nick and Brit.
