Exemplary service! Excellent experience!
Both my husband, George, and I would like to extend our many thanks for the exemplary professional service. We simply cannot say enough good words and thanks for our experience. It was a real pleasure to work with you and to travel with our team- Symon (guide), Daniel (cook), and Kata (assistant). (We asked for Symon and Daniel in advance and were so happy to find we were to travel with them). We enjoyed tremendously our 14 day trip including the northern Kenya circuit up to lake Turkana, and then lake Baringo, lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. From the time of the booking to the very end we had nothing but wonderful experience. Every detail was well thought of and arranged perfectly. We had a Land Rover for the whole trip and unforgettable off-road experience.
We are very well traveled however were very anxious about our trip to Kenya having had already a very bad experience earlier in the year in Tanzania. What a nice surprise - we were not only given all requested as part of our trip but even had things we did not expect- instead of sleeping in a tent in the 1st 10 days of our safary we were taken to great camps every night, had a room and a hot shower. Every one was so friendly and hospitable.
Symon, our guide and driver, was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, attentive, entertaining, friendly, level-headed, and very dependable. We loved any single moment spent with him. He is an awesome guide who simply loves his job, and gives everything from himself to assure best clients' experience. There wouldn't be a signle question unanswered. He has a great sense of humor and unbeatable way of telling stories (many stories and all inetersting). What amazing time at the dinner table every night. He was also quite patient (especially with the many pictures George was taking) and would always go an extra mile for client's satisfaction. Thank you, Symon, we were lucky to have you as a guide and we liked you so much.
Daniel was a great cook, preparing always tasty and diverse food. Every time I would say that was too much food he would answer "no, no, just a little bit. Hakuna Matata". And his pancakes...they were to die for. Soup, salads, potatoes - all so much delicious, and always presented in a great way.
All in all - we had one in a lifetime experience and loved it all. We would highly recommend Australken and our team to other customers. We would go back to Kenya in a heartbeat. THANK YOU AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR EVERYTHING.

Best company ever!
I have always wanted to go on a safari. I previously tried to book a trip and it was not successful. Two years later I came across SeeMore Safaris and Adventures and decided to try one last time to book my dream trip. Much to my surprise they offered way more than just your average trip. They are very knowledgable about the details and make sure they know exactly what your desires are before even starting the planning portion. Having someone from Tanzania, that knows all the details and speaks both languages, really put my mind at ease when booking my trip. The professionalism and friendliness created the most perfect environment for me to relax and really think about what would be the most fulfilling trip for me. Their services go beyond your average customer service. I felt right at home and booked my trip the first time visiting them. The safari itself was amazing!!! I highly recommend using their services if you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience with extraordinary customer service! Thanks again for making one of my dreams come true!

5-day safari trip (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire).
We had planned a 5 day long safari. The prize was the best available. Arrangements were also good. We would begin our safari after visiting Mwanza. We would have to pay entry fees only once.
Organizer
The Organizer Mobutu offered a very good price for the safari. At first we were doubtful. Could someone offer a good safari trip so cheaply? Finding out that he was actually an old schoolmate of our internship supervisor Simon Kitereja, we gained the trust and paid most of the services in advance. We had some money transferring problems, but he kindly guided us through several banks and places for us to be able to pay for Ngorongoro and the company services.
Guide
Our guide Samuel was a professional. He knew everything we asked him. He even knew the history of the natural parks. With his eagle eyes he spotted various animals from sleeping lions to road-crossing tortoise.
Only negative thing we can come up with is the fact that our guide and driver got along little too well, sometimes forgetting us clients while talking to each other or on breaks. However, that didn’t happen too many times, and we didn’t miss any animals because of that. Other times he was very good at customer service. He understood our needs.
Cook
Our cook Suddy was truly a professional. The food was amazingly good. The food was also ready in schedule. We never had to spend the precious safari time waiting for food. It was especially unbelievable, how he could turn even the simplest soups into a delicious dish, which we will no doubt miss back in Finland. There was also never too little food. We could never eat everything he prepared for us, as there was so big selection of different things.
Driver
We knew our driver John beforehand. We had full trust on him, being driven around Arusha by him many times before with the Institute car. He was always willing to stop for us to take pictures of the animals and landscapes.
At the end we were tired but happy. It was unforgettable trip. Even the cheapest camping equipment’s were adequate. We can recommend this trip to others as well.

A perfect package of safari experience for Botswana
From the moment we showed our interest in one of the safari tour packages offered by Roho Ya Chui, Ute was very efficient in helping us organize what we had dreamed of. Several questions we asked by e-mail over the first few days were immediately answered in person by her, and it was this responsible reaction which made us decide on the tour rather quickly. Being immediately convinced that we were getting a reliable package with the best itinerary, we didn't even search for any other operators or tours.
The safari trips itself in Botswana (Okavango Delta, Savuti and Chobe) was a succession of unforgettable experiences. Even compared with our previous safari trips in Kenya and Tanzania, this time gave us much more diversified animal and landscape sightings, and we were extremely impressed by the quality of the safari guides offered at each of the camps we stayed. We saw all the animals we wanted to see to our full content (except for a cheetah).

This was beyond our expectations.
I just want to say this is the best safari have had in a long time, I and my family were very happy with the services of wecam safaris and the driver guide was the best.
Big up to the wecam safaris clue.

I had an excellent hike in Aberdares NP, the crew took good care of me at all time.
I booked online from Norway and the communication was excellent. Everything went as planned. The pickup in Nairobi, luggage store, the hike itself and drop off at friends in Muhoti was preformed as planned. The crew was excellent company during the hike (I was the only client and could easily felt lonely) and took very good care of me. I can recommend Archtreksafaris for others.

Incredible
Congratulations! You've decided to go on Safari where you will have the best trip of life - seriously. Now you have to decide what tour operator to go with. If you want some large commercial tourist shop to take you Worldwide Safaris is not for you. If you want a personalized adventure, with friendly, passionate and thoughtful guides/drivers then call Ernest! There are no guarantees on safari, but give yourself the best opportunity to see the highest quality wildlife by going with an operator that has true local knowledge and, despite seeing it all by now, still get excited by the simple joys of the bush like watching a giraffe drinking water, finding baby warthogs or watching a leopard nap in a tree.
Maybe it was luck, or maybe it was Worldwide Safaris, but we really saw it all: lion kill, river crossing, the big 5 (we had single day where we saw the entire big 5 in one day), big animals, little animals, birds, interesting plants, Masai village, etc... Whether you have a specific interest or your group has mixed interests you can relax and enjoy your vacation knowing that Worldwide Safaris will take care of you.
I will definitely call Ernest and Worldwide Safaris when I go back to experience more of what Africa and Tanzania have to offer.

Wonderful experience
from the time we requested a quote communication was excellent. Magda met us at the Airport and introduced us to our guide, Jackson who was a very good and obliging guide for the next 6 days. We especially loved the Safari camps we stayed at. the food was so freSh and delicious and the staff great. BUT best of all was the animals - we saw so much - just brilliAnt. Including the Big 5 and the tail end of the migration. Highly recommend Flash.
Trip to Gcadikwe Island, Botswana
In July we spent two nights at Impala Tours’ Gcadikwe Camp situated in the midst of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Directly surrounded by the impressive diversity of nature, one felt very comfortable sleeping in the spacious tents listening to the elephants and hippos browsing placidly next to you. The food was excellent and left nothing to be desired. Even in the peaceful seclusion of the bush some electricity was provided by a small solar station to charge a camera at the reception-tent if needed.
During boat tours we saw hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffalos and all types of birds and antelopes at close range… and beautifully coloured sunsets.
The tour guides were competent and all the staff were more than obliging and friendly.
It was a fantastic trip and very recommendable, anytime again!!
