Amazing experience with El Mundo crew and sustainability components concerning the environment.
If you are looking for an economical yet highly efficient and fun company to climb Kili with, look no further! We have a wonderful experience booking our climb from afar and having all of our questions answered. I appreciated the clarify and speed of their responses.
Being picked up by the entire crew singing to us set the tone of the climb. Throughout our 6 day climb via Machame, the guides and porters were supportive, encouraging, and very helpful. I felt well equipped with information needed for each day. After hiking, we were greeting with amazing food and kind crew.
From the start I knew we would be successful because of the tone, pace, and professionalism from El Mundo!

Safari adventure
A day trip from Kabale in SW Uganda to Queen Elizabeth Park exceeded my expectations! It was my fourth excursion with Gatatu but my very first 4x4 safari experience and it proved just so exciting to see in the Wild animals that all my life I've viewed in captivity. Above all, I was amazed by the number of elephants and captivated.
The planning was tailored to my needs and service excellent. The driver was outstanding - very careful. In the afternoon a two hour boat trip facilitated photography. A day to remember...

My experience with ACZ Safaris felt like walking down the red carpet from the booking to my return.
This was my second safari to Kenya after 30 years. I took my friend and 13 year old daughter which was their first safari. The initial contact and booking with ACZ Safaris was so simple online. I emailed what I wanted to do. Jon wrote back with suggestions and prices. I easily posted my deposit and sent them my travel itinerary. They had a driver pick us up at the airport delivering me to 2 nights at our hotel to rest up for our safari and to see some sights around Nairobi. We visited the farm of Karen Blixen, David Sheldrick elephant orphanage, and Nairobi National Park. The driver Martin was extremly courteous, knowlegeable and patiently answered every question we had. We saw the Masai Mara and the beqinning of the great migration. Had wonderful food and accomidations for 2 nights. Then on to Lake Nukuru to look for rhinos. We did and completed the hunt for the BIG FIVE which does not happen on every safari. The rest of the trip was just icing on the cake. We drove down to the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro in Amboselli National Park for 2 nights with a talented private Chef Frederick . The game drive and views were thrilling. We then drove to the famous Treetops Lodge for one night in Aberdare National Park where Princess Elizabeth was notified she was Queen upon her fathers death. The accomodations, food and views of the game were beyond what I expected. It had been nicely upgraded since I last stayed there but still had the characteristics that make it famous. The lodge had their hunter take us on a walking safari not only to see the wildlife but also explained some of the medical uses of the flora. That night they turned the flood lights on the saltlick for the guests to enjoy watching the game comfortably from a lookout. The next morning ACZ took us to Thompson Falls to see the waterfalls and have lunch. They drove us safely to the airport in Nairobi. I can't recommend this company enough. Being from the travel industry myself and being old school for customer service that you don't experience much anymore. This company goes over and beyond any promises they make. I was made to feel comfortable at all times and my safety and enjoyment was always number one with them. Everything was a thousand times better than I expected and I still can't get over their attention to every detail. My friend was so impressed too. My daughter had fun and got an education about another world, animals and travel that I can't provide at home or school.

One adventure after another.
Totally exceeded our expectations from our first encounter with Rob Barber, a truly special guide, who has the most exceptional knowledge of the wildlife and the magical environment of Botswana. We have experienced all types of accommodation in different areas of the delta and desert, from luxury camps to mobile safaris and all have been of the highest standards. We have witness the interaction between prey and predator on every game drive and a firm favourite has to be witnessing African wild dogs from slumber to achieving their aim of feeding their pups and themselves. The exhilaration of being in the presence of lions, elephants, leopards, baboons, etc is second to none. The beauty and tranquillity of being on the water fishing, surrounded by the array of bird life is therapy. From the exceptional accommodation, wonderful food, dedicated staff and the beauty of Botswana Rob truly knows how to create a holiday that will last a lifetime as you will return time and time again.

Unforgettable experience!
These guys responded quickly to my questions via email and offered the perfect Safari for me at a great price. The driver and his colleagues were very resourceful and found plenty of animals at every game drive, we even saw a Leopard and a Cheetah in addition to the usual group of animals. Beginning of June was great because there were few tourists, although we missed the Wildebeest migration by a couple of weeks, but it was still worth it. What an unforgettable experience! Want to go back for more!

Excellent Safari with Tai Travellers
When I was searching for a safari company, I asked for a some recommendations from a friend living in Tanzania. He suggested Tai Travellers (amongst others) as one that I should look into.
I had some specific requests about my safari: it must be three days, it must visit Serengeti, it must be a camping safari, and I must be able to travel alone at a reasonable price. Tai Travellers was the only company that would meet those needs. Many of the other companies said that it was impossible to go to Serengeti in three days or estimated the price at much higher than Tai Travellers. Tai Travellers was also the most prompt and clear when communicating.
My safari was excellent. I had a great driver who was knowledgeable about the wildlife and plants life around us. He had a knack for spotting animals. I was able to see the Big Five (although the rhino was further in the distance than one would hope, but thats nature). The chef was excellent, cooking up delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Both my driver and chef were also seemed very well educated. Car and dinner conversations spanned topics like politics, social services, anthropology, cultural icons, and of course, wildlife and plant life.

Fantastic service, a wealth of knowledge and an experience we'll never forget
Our safari with Golden Africa was an incredible experience that we'll never forget. We had Rob as our guide who was extremely knowledgable, friendly and always went above and beyond what we expected in terms of service. We saw some incredible game including Leopard which has always been a goal of ours, it was magical. We were initially nervous of going with a smaller operator, despite having been recomended by friends, but as soon as we arrived we knew we had made the right choice as Golden Africa were fantastic from start to finish. We highly recommend them to everyone we know.

Fantastic bush experience
What a wonderful guide Rob is. This was a real bush experience ,staying in isolated areas with only animals for company.Rob is so knowledgable and enthusiastic he made the trip much more than any other safari we have been on. The tents are comfortable but not luxury by any means but very well catered by lovely staff. We did 3 nights in the bush camp followed by 2 nights in a luxury camp and then another 3 nights in the bush and i think this was the perfect combination. Would highly recommend Rob and his company to anyone seeking a real 'old school' safari

super adventure!!
I just wanted to tell you how much my husband and I enjoyed our trip! It was perfect! I am recommending your company to all my friends and family. After viewing our photos, they all say they want to be your clients too! Everything was well organized, and all the documentation you sent was complete, and easy to read. We got to do so much during our week of vacation. All the transportation that was provided was always right on time. The hotels were nice and very clean. The guides were friendly and willing to share stories and lots of interesting information! We received great service everywhere we went. I felt we were on a first class, five star trip, but at a much more affordable price! Thank you for the services you provided in planning this trip of a lifetime. We couldn't be more pleased! I'm so glad that I selected African Sunset Safari Tour & Travel!

Everything promised and more
I just returned from a safari in Kenya that was put together by Inclusive Holiday Africa and I couldn't be happier. My contact there, Charles Wagema, was incredibly nice and helpful every step of the way. I was hesitant working with an operator based out of Kenya because I live so far away (I'm in New York City). You hear so many stories about people being scammed etc., so I made Charles go out of his way to prove to me that everything was legit. He did so without hesitation and put together a three camp itinerary that was perfect for my friends and me. Inclusive Holiday Africa met us at the airport and made sure we had everything we need for our adventure. I even made a special request for a guide in the Masaai Mara and Charles made it happen. Beautiful camps, wonderful people and an experience I will never forget. I cannot thank Inclusive Holidays Africa enough for putting this together. Highly recommend IHA for anyone looking for a knowledgable safari operator that caters to your individual needs.
