Excellent organisation and an amazing experience
This was our second Safari with Adventure Vacation Safaris (AVS). Our first was two years ago to Murchinson Falls and the experience was so good we did not get quotes from anyone else for tha second trip. This time we spent a week at Kibale (chimp tracking), Queen Elizabeth Park and Lake Mburo. The week was very well organised and money transfers between the UK and Uganda went. Without a hitch. The whole Safari was amazing the highlights being the Chimp trekking at Kibale and the lions at Queen Elizabeth. We were briefed at Kibale not to approach neare than 8 metres to the chimps. No one appears to have told the. Chimps because when they descended to the ground onw walked right through the middle of out group of seven people!
Our guide Innocent was very knowledgable about the animals and especially about the varied and abundant bird life. He was also very knowledgable about Uganda and the way of life of the people in the many villages and towns we passed through.
So Thank you to all the staff at AVS for a wonderful week we will ever forget.

Into the wild-- Selous-- Mikumi
It was just amazing... great... wonderful... and we saw one big lovestory about a lion woman who felt in love with an old lion king. We will never forget this hours by watching them... and in the end, after a long fighting and a long day, she got what she love... happy end.
Lenard is a great guide and knows a lot about the animals and he is a really safe driver. We hope to be back soon and see more of this wonderful wildlife in tanzania.

Our heart felt thanks to our guide Peter who was amazing, nothing was too much trouble, his knowledge and clear love of the places we visited made our experience unique. It was a trip I had only dreamed about, but exceeded all expectations. Thank you Tanzania Exclusive Journeys team.

Exceptional Experience in East Africa
My family and I had the vacations of a lifetime in Tanzania & Kenya. From picking up places/lodges to organizing tours and answering our questions, Rose Hipwood did an outstanding job. We did not have to worry about anything else than finding wild animals and relaxing at the most beautiful sceneries in Africa! I totally reccomend The Luxury Safari Company for anyone looking for an amazing experience and luxury safaris.

Absolutely seamless and impeccable organisation
From our very first contact with this agency I could not fault the initial information, the quote, the pre trip information package and then delivery on the ground of our African adventure. The safari camp was a real camp experience but with very sophisticated attention to,detail. When we arrived back from safari there was a tray of cold lemongrass scented snowy white hand towels waiting for us. Very good coffee was brewing on our campfire with freshly cooked muffins as well as porridge for early breakfast at 5.30 am before our morning safari.
The safari guides were very knowledgeable and kindly as with all camp staff. The group dining table was very friendly. Every detail in our ‘tent’ was thoughtfully designed. The hotels selected in Cape Town and Victoria Falls were perfect as were all transfers.

Amazing Amboseli & Tsavo Safari Trip
We requested for a quote from 10+ companies for our Amboseli+Tsavo trip and Muli was very responsive and also friendly so we decided to go with Africa Celebrity Tours.
On the first day, Muli came to pick us up and told us that he will be our guide. He is very friendly as he is in his email. He always told us some funny stuffs about Kenya and taught us some Swahili. During the trip, Muli was not an aggressive driver so we went slowly and leisurely. When we saw any animal, he would stop for us to take some photos. He will ask us every time before he drives to make sure that it is safe to go. He respects animals very much so he always leaves some space between us and the animals which I like but if you wants to see an animal very close up, you may have to tell him explicitly.
Overall our trip was very relaxing and nice. We didn't see many animals as we did in Masai Mara (with different company) but the scenery was amazing here. We chose the van and I think it was perfect for our trip since we rarely went off-road in Tsavo, unlike Masai Mara. All the hotels were clean and the food were great. We also had no problem with mosquito there. The only bad thing about this trip is that there was no lunch on the last day and the traffic was very terrible so we arrived at airport at 4pm and we were so hungry. Another tip: Make sure you have enough Kenya chilling because the rating at the hotels were so bad. If we have a chance to go to Kenya again, we will definitely use Africa Celebrity.
