Unexpected greatness
My recent trip to Uganda was fantastic. I had my reservations as everything was booked over the net and even after receiving many communications I still worried WHAT I had actually booked. I had booked the trip eight months before going so upon arrival I had forgotten what was written in my itinerary. As I was travelling in Africa I was expecting "less than I was accustomed to," and was very pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and beautiful places I was taken to. My tour operator Bern was full of knowledge about most things I saw on and off the safaris. He was extremely punctual and organised so I didn't have to worry about anything on the trip and completely left myself in his very capable hands. The holiday was one of the most relaxing I have been on as everything was planned and done for me. Finding luxury in Africa was very unexpected but thoroughly enjoyable and very much appreciated.
Thank you Bern and Encounter

Highly professional service and a truly wonderful safari
I found the service to be highly professional, responsive, helpful and thorough. All planning went smoothl. The small plane charters were all organised, the lodges were excellent and catered to all our needs above and beyond. Robert from Wild Africa Travel runs a great company and the on the ground support from Footsteps through Africa was excellent. Staying at the quirky Oddballs lodge in the Okavango Delta wilolo remain as a highlight of our travelling lives.

4 days of paradise
We were a group of 13 (4 chaperones + 9 students) and went on camping safari in July 2015.
Africa Tried And Tested were such great hosts and ran a very professional safari. We spent 4 days in Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
Cliff and his team made us feel welcome, safe and relaxed and we had a fantastic experience and saw so much!! The coordination and planning was top-notch, the food was amazing, the drivers were accomodating and knowledgeable....it simply couldn't have been better.
Africa Tried and Tested made us want to return to Tanzania again. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of going on safari, they really were outstanding in every possible way!

Our great 7 days tour of Uganda and Rwanda
We just finished a 7 days tour of Rwanda and Uganda and have nothing but praise for this company. From the beginning, they were prompt in replying, and helpful in optimizing our planned itinerary.
Our guide Tom was fantastic. His English was superb, and there was not a bird, animal He provided historical and cultural perspectives you just are not able to get from a guide book.
The company is nothing but professional and I highly recommend them - ask for Tom if you can.
Keep up the good work East African Jungle Safaris.

Heavenly....
This was a trip of a lifetime. Shaun our guide/owner surpassed all expectations. His recommendations for a bread and breakfast before the safari was perfect. Our lodging at Camp George were amazing. Comfortable and private room/ facility. All 5 of us on the trip were extremely pleased with accommodations and our chef Lindsay's scrumptious meals. Shaun not only explains the flora and fauna, but his obviously love of the land made the experience so intimate. His tracking ability was insane, how he hears animals from far away was truly amazing. One reason we went with Moriti was from a previous post. Yes, when you leave you feel like you've gained a new friend. I can't wait to plan another trip to see my friend Shaun and all the Klaserie animals.

Awesome experience!! Will be visiting again with Transtrek x
Earlier this year I travelled to Kenya booking my tour with Transtrek. What an absolutely amazing tour. The service from such a knowledgeable team. The trip was outstanding, excellent planning, wonderful sights, views and most of all the beautiful animals. They put together my tour so I had to do no planning myself which was perfect for me!! I can't wait to go back and would highly recommend travelling through Transtrek. Thank you so much to Dan and the team. Penny Hodgson xx

Best safari experience that you can get in 3 days - Selous
Extraordinary journey. We don't have words to describe how pleasant Kanuth is, and how good people does he have around him. We were on three days safari in Selous park. Organisation, people, food, Hippo camp, tours...everything was pure 10. I hope that we will come back to Tanzania, and if so, we will definitely come to Kanuth again. I think this service is definitely best value for the price. Also, because of pleasant experience, we were on few tours beside the safari and service was on the same excellent level. Top recommendation!

Makasa
Perfectly arranged and organised by Makasa.
We (family of 4) enjoyed game drive through 3 parks and Serengeti plains, 7 days, great!
Not one glitch in the organisation by Makasa, from arriving at Kilmanjaro till our flight out of Dar Es Sallaam.

02 Nights Maasai Mara Safari Package - Mara River Camp
-Mara River Camp website is up to date because our tent was equipped and looked just like their photos.
-I was in awe of the hippos in the river below the deck when we arrived. And the next morning, they were in the river by our tent.
-Bed turn down service, decoration on the bed with fresh flowers, people there to help without asking. My wife said it was just like being on a cruise.
-The food was excellent and plentiful. The chef came to the table every evening to make certain things were to our liking. And the staff took care of our every need.
-Maasai warriors performed one evening while we were having dinner.
-Joe, our driver, went out of his way to find the different species for us to see. Can't list them all without going back through my pictures but lions, elephants, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, zebras and hippo readily come to mind.
-We were added to a pre-booked group of 3 and ended up with 3 new friends.

Perfect!
Everything about our trip with Vayeni was top notch. I had many questions prior to the trip, and Suzanne answered all of them clearly and promptly. She was a real help in the process of putting our trip together. The package she put together was absolutely seamless with an outstanding safari experience and incredible lodging in Victoria Falls. This was a trip of a lifetime for us, and Vayeni provided the perfect experience. I highly recommend you choose them to put your trip together!
