Top Notch Travel Services
I engaged Sarah Morris and her team at Ker & Downey Africa to plan a fairly complex adventure that included a safari in Kenya, the pyramids in Cairo and a Nile cruise. I can't say enough about the attention to detail during the planning phase and the genuine focus on making sure our final vacation itinerary would fulfill our travel goals. Once we were on the ground, the K&D team was with us every step of the way - morning, noon and night - should anything need adjustment. I highly recommend Ker & Downey Africa should you be interested in luxury travel in Africa. You won't be disappointed.

Superbly organized and implemented from start to finish...I HIGHLY recommend African Scenic Safaris!
Our African Scenic safari was seamlessly organized and incredibly well done. We spent 10 nights and 11 days enjoying game drives where we not only spotted animals, but were provided with a detailed explanation of their behavior by our amazing guide, Tom. His depth of knowledge and interest in the wildlife and landscape added so much to our already incredible game drives. Tom often knew what the animals were going to do or where they would head next and carefully positioned our vehicle to gain the best possible way for viewing and photographing the animals.
I have to add that the safari vehicle itself was in great condition both mechanically and the interior, with a small refrigerator to keep water cold, a charging station and plenty of room for everyone to have a wonderful view at all times. The seats were comfortable and water was in the car ready for us daily. Tom took care of all the lunch logistics at each camp so that we could head out and maximize our time for spotting animals. Our own wishes as to which animals we were interested in finding each day were prioritized, and our guide used his networking skills and knowledge to get us there.
While planning our safari, my many questions were answered promptly and in detail by Simbo and the African Safari staff. I felt that organizing my safari to suit our timing and what we wanted to see was a priority to them. The wildebeast migration was a tremendous spectacle!
I can't recommend African Scenic Safari enough and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. A safari is an amazing experience and the folks at African Scenic Safaris made it easy, comfortable and incredibly enjoyable.

We really enjoyed Uganda tour: game drives, walks and lodging!
Before flighing to Uganda I frequently mailed Encounter Africa Safaris with questions and itinerary change requests. They always responded promptly and friendly. In Uganda we where in the good hands of guide/driver Steven, a friendly and talkative companion who learned us many many things on culture, nature, history and economy.
The 4WD van was comfortable, cleaned several times during the tour. Water bottles where always available and there were enough stop overs.

Wonderful trip to Hwange National Park
My wife and I used Cultural Vibes to arrange a 2 night stay at Sable Sands Lodge near Hwange National Park. Cultural Vibes made all of the bookings and drove us to and from our hostel in Victoria Falls.
Tongesai was very friendly and easy to communicate with. He was responsive to questions, and did the transfer safely and on time. Our itinerary was well-designed and everything had been communicated to Sable Sands correctly.
The Safari was tons of fun! Sable Sands was fantastic, and having Tongesai arrange all of the details made everything go very smoothly. Very little work on our end!

It was so impressive! We had a great 3 day-safari with Natural World Kenya Safaris in Masai Mara!
We had a great safari with Peter Nyamu. We saw a lot of beautiful animals during the 3 days. He knows a lot about the parc and all the animals and is a very good and safe driver. Also the food in our stay in hotel (luxe) was very well. The staff of the company (Pauline) replyed very soon and was very helpfull. We will really recommend it, only the visit to the Masai Village is a tourist trap. Don't go there if you want to see an authentic place.

An adventurous day-trip to Tarangire
I and 5 other colleagues just completed a wonderful day-trip to Tarangire National Park, we wish the trip could have been longer. Our trip started with a pick up at 7:00am and in 2 hours we were at the park entrance. While on the safari, our guide Severine was amazing, alert and on the lookout for the herds of wildlife. It can be difficult to impress a group of adults in one car but he carefully answered our questions and made sure we were all satisfied with the outcome of our safari. There was an abundance of elephants and the park was strikingly beautiful. We will definitely do a much longer trip to include Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Zilla Expeditions. Thank you, Albert and Severin, for giving us a memorable safari.

An excellent safari experience
Visiting Selous, Ruaha & Mikumi by Wildness Safari Tanzania was a nice experience. We got a touch of Africa, it is more than just a safari.
Wildness Safari Tanzania provided an excellent guide/driver. The communication with the agency was good, fast replies insured that they are worthy of trust. All misunderstandings and troubles were solved immediately. Our tour went according to the plan.
However, looking back, I would add a day or two to our schedule due to large distances between parks. Driving 300 km in Africa means be in the car the whole day. As we spent a lot of time in the car, a better one should be provided by the agency.
Thanks to Wildness Safari Tanzania we spent a wonderful time in Tanzania.

An excellent agency to organize your safari and more
They are a travel agency that organizes safaris, located in the center of Nairobi. They treated us perfectly, they worried at all times that the attention we received was correct. We had no problem with the contracted safari pack. Moreover, on the way back, to some safari companions who came from another agency and were in a problematic situation, they provided help and solved the problem. Serious people, very kind, professional and decisive.
In addition to the safari, they organized a visit to the city, a special dinner and transportation to the hotel and the train station for our next trip to Mombasa. You can even request the train reservation.
Fantastic!

Wonderful holidays in Kenia and Tanzanian National Parks
We (3 Germans, 2 women 1man, age around 60 years) spend 18 days End of June 2019 in Kenian and Tanzanian National parks. The trip was organized by Mr.Peniel Lazer (Lights on Africa).
Our journey was very beautiful and colorful, we saw a lot of animals in the Massai Mara and the northern National parks of Tanzania, breathtaking landscape in the parks, at mount Ol.Lengai, Victoria Lake and the Ngorongo Crater and had wonderful and very friendly contact with the local people and the Massai, who took us on walks, to the market, on a boat trip at lake Victoria and showed us their villages and their traditions.
Mr.Laser prepared the trip perfectly, there was no problem for us on the whole trip and we enjoyed the different and beautiful overnight stays. Our two drivers, Anton in Tanzania and Japheth in Kenia, were both very nice men, extremely experienced and skillful (f.ex. Anton changes two times a flat tire due to a bad road and repaired them in no time), absolutely reliable and well prepared. They had a very good knowledge about the animals and other things and were excellent drivers!
We met Mr.Laser on our last evening in Arusha and found him a warm hearted and sympathetic man, who is absolutely reliable.
We can recommend Mr.Peniel Laser and his company "Lights on Africa" very strongly.
He created an unforgettable individual holiday for us and made our wishes come true.
And big thanks and warm feelings to our fantastic companions Anton and Japheth!
