A great safari experience
I did a safari with It Started in Africa a few years back, I was lucky to be one of the first people they took on a trip. It was an amazing and memorable experience, I went during the wildebeest migration and it was great! It's something that everyone should be able to see, and I'm sure it's also amazing during the rest of the year.
We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti and were able to see all the big animals we would want to see. The driver was very knowledgeable and helpful, as was the cook. The food was very good. We were sleeping in tents but everything was always prepared by the time we arrived so it was very comfortable. I got mostly impressed by their organisation, so it was very easy for us to book the safari back home and then we worked out the details, meeting point, etc. when we arrived. The safari was not rushed and the driver listened to us to decide where to go next or what to look for.
Even though the operation was at the very beginning, it all was very smooth and everything was made easy by the very friendly people in charge (Baraja, Joao). The lodging, food, everything was great and they were very flexible to accommodate our needs. All in all a great experience.

Incredible!
My experience in the Kruger Park was incredible. On the first day we got to see the big five animals. The guides are always attentive and committed to teach us and find the best angle to see the animals. Worth much know the Kruger !!

Well organized chimp trekking experience in Gombe NP
Overall we had a great experience working with Joshua and the staff at Gombe Track Safaris. We arranged everything over email, and Joshua was always really quick to respond and was also really flexible in planning and paying for the trip.
We were a bit concerned by the lack of reviews, but were pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything ran when we got there. All our transportation was on time and efficient, and the food provided was maybe not gourmet, but tasty and filling after a long day of hiking. Gombe NP itself is a great experience, and the trekking guides there are great. Plus you have a beautiful lake to relax by at the end of the day.
The only issues we had were that our flight was a bit late and our schedule ran behind the first day, so we almost didn't get to go out and trek the first day. We had to be a little pushy with the guides to get them to go, but in the end we saw chimps both days.
Overall this is a good, honest safari operator and I would recommend using them to organize your trip to Gombe.

Our dream Holiday was a complete success all thanks to Pulse Africa
For many years My wife & I dreamed of visiting Kenya for a Safari & beach holiday, being well travelled people in the past we knew only to well that the advise from large tour companies are not always truthful, so on a friends recommendation we chose "Pulse Africa" we stayed at Galdessa safari camp in Tsavo east & Hemmingway's resort in Watamu, both were fantastic and more than we had dreamed of
Everything went like a dream we never had a thing to worry about from the 3 x hotels, internal flights, airport pick ups & drop offs, the Safari, accommodation, and beach resort were all perfect.
A very big thank you to Sandi who was so patient with us & fully understanding of our needs, we cant thank you enough, Would recommend you to anybody.

Wonderful experience!
My two friends and I booked excursions through Afrishare solutions and had an absolutely wonderful time! They came as a recommendation from a friend and I will be the first to pass along the good word as well! Ibrah was very helpful during the booking process, suggesting itineraries for the amount of time we had and what we wanted to see before we got to Africa. He was extremely responsive in this process, which made booking a seamless transaction. While on the safari, the guides were very knowledgeable, really engaging and fun to talk to! They knew great driving routes to maximize the amount of wildlife we could see, which made the three days go be too quickly. We decided to do a day hike on Mt. Kilamanjaro the night before and Ibrah was able to turn it around for an early morning departure in just a few hours. The service at Afrishare solutions is wonderful, and I highly recommend booking with them. To the staff, thank you for making our trip a truly unforgettable experience!

Great value for our money
We had been longing to visit Africa since we got married 5 years ago.We
once booked with a travel agent from here, whom later conned us the
deposit we had paid.It was frustrating and we decided to postpone our
trip.On our search at google,we came across this company and we decided to
gamble,Luckily ,the owner Mr Otieno gave us a call after we sent an
enquiry.We discussed everything over the phone!He was so responsive to our
mails and was also flexible to change the program where we needed a
change.What amused us most was that our whole trip was private with no
disruption. I would say dealing with a local company is so much better and
easier.I would give KWSS a 100% !!

Trustworthy and attentive
Recently came home after my first visit to Tanzania, and Africa. It was a new world to me and I was glad we had the reliable guidance of Migunga Adventures. Sylvester and his team always took the best care of us and was focused on giving us a great holiday. I particularly enjoyed our driver at the safaris who had an impressive knowledge about the animals and nature, and on top of that a great sense of humor.
We went trekking one day at Kilimanjaro but the service at the Machame gate was really poor and nothing I would recommend. Migunga Adventure was not to blame for this but has noted our opinions about Machame to ensure that it doesn't happen to their future guests. Sylvester's desire to listen to his guests, evaluate and improve is to me a characteristic and criterion of a trustworthy company. I can recommend Migunga Adventures and Tanzania!

Simply magnificent Tanzania
The trip was simply magnificent! Better than our wildest expectations, which were pretty high.
Zanzibar was great - always recommend two nights to allow a full day of wandering Stone Town and eating at Forodani from the street vendors in the evening.
And Pongwe Beach for a few days of R&R was perfect for us - quiet, relaxing, excellent staff, decent food, and a great beach. The snorkeling was disappointing which was the only downside.
The safari on mainland Tanzania was more than we could have every hoped in just about every aspect. Animals, scenery, weather, mosquitoes (not many) tse tse flies (not many).
Hans, the guide from Ranger safaris when we hit the mainland was brilliant. Knowledgable, when he didn't know he would say so (which was not often), fun, judged well how much the six of us wanted to chat (or not). We had very good luck with the travelling group being pretty much on the same wavelength throughout- always need a bit of luck with these tours
The luxury hotels (we had not appreciated how luxurious before we showed up) were excellent facilities, the staff always helpful, and the food generally good (although you get a bit tired of buffets after a while).
And we'd definitely recommend the Arusha Coffee Lodge for the last night for those that need to stay over.
Cuan, thank you very much for all your help in putting this together. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again some time.
Great tour
Excellent 5 star we found a service from Dennis to be fantastic. the tour to Masai Mara he organised was great also we got him to book all our bus trip and accomodation to mombasa. We would have no hesitation to recommend Dennis and his company for any travel arrangement you need in Kenya and Tanzania.food, transport and accomodation was excellent .
