Amazing adventures with CATS Africa
This was an amazing adventure for us. We saw the Big Five and many other animals and places. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. Our tour was organized professionally by the CATS Afrika. Everything went as planned. Big thanks for this to Joyce.
During our safari, our guide was Duncan, who is an experienced driver and he loves and knows the nature so much.
We highly recommend the CATS Afrika and Duncan, and we hope we will have a chance to come back sometime.
What we learned for the next time:
We selected the safari van for our tour, and it was the proper vehicle in Amboseli and in Lake Nakuru. In the Masai Mara the roads are extremely bumpy, so a Land Cruiser would be possibly better choice there.

Reliable and responsible
We have just finished a 8-day customise safari trip with Easy Travel. I am very happy to choose the right company for our trip.
First, Jessica and Jane were so helpful to us as they always replied quickly. For any requests or questions, they were also tried the best to satisfy our needs. They would also gave us some suggestions on the plan to make our trip perfect.
Second, we are so glad to have Aniny to be our guide. He is the one of the best guides we have ever met. Aniny is humorous which always kept smile and brought a lot of fun to us during this 8 days. He also shared and explained lots of professional knowledge on animals with us. We were so lucky to see Big 5 and migration of the Wildebeest during our journey. We do very appreciate his all-out effort of taking care of us and treating us as a family. With his broad experiences, he can always find the best spots for us to observe the animals and take good pictures of them. Aniny was also be punctual everyday so that we won’t miss any programme.
Third, the accommodation that we stayed in these 8 days were great. We chose “comfort” as our main type of tour. All accommodation with private washroom and hot water shower. The hygiene of the rooms were also good. Food were also out of our expectation and it’s very nice.
Highly recommended Easy Travel to all. We will never forget this amazing safari trip with Easy Travel. We hope we can come back one day with Easy Travel and with Aniny again.

Great trip with great service
Our 14 days Kenya-Tanzania Safari Tour organized by African Paradise Safaris was great and unforgettable!
The itinerary prepared by John Peter for our family trip is so completed. We did enjoy very much!
We had the best guides and drivers: Isa and Salomon. They took care of us and handled everything with care. They are very professional.
They are the ambassadors of Kenya and Tanzania.
Isa and Salomon know all the parks by memory, they brought us to see every animal. We saw National Geographic for real during the game drives.
We recommend their service to everyone!

Just perfect
We spent 10 days with Godson travelling through Serengeti, Lake Eyasi, lake Manyara, lake Natron. Godson has all the quality of a good guide with the little plus which gives you the feeling that Tanzania is actually your family.
Flexible, good English, reliable definitely willing to help in case of unscheduled incident (supported me a lot for my luggage lost by the airlines) and able to provide fascinating explanation on many topic with a good sense of humor.
I definitely recommend him.
Enjoy your trip in Tanzania !!!

Patrick Atweng'a (introduced to me by at baboon office) stole 500$ which left as a deposit
A year ago my parents rented a car trough babbon tours from guy named Patrick Otieno Atweng'a...
after 3 weeks of using the car my folks returned it but never saw any of the the deposit, they were left to wait for couple of hours for the thief to come back - which never happened.
Baboon tours admitted their responsebility for Patrick Otieno Atweng'a action and promising me to deal the issue and return the stolen money..
I was in touch with mr. Dennis across the year via watsap and every time he gave me another excuse.
Beware of Baboon budget tours and other scammers...
Thank you for nothing mr. dennis behalf my parents and me

A+ Service and we didn't go yet!
I seldom write reviews and have never written a review prior to receiving services. However, I must say we travel a lot and Sylvester so far has been one of the most accommodating tour operators I have ever dealt with. The reason I say that is because our group of 4 was set to travel to Nairobi for a 10 day safari last November. Due to the political unrest in Nairobi we decided to ask Sylvester if we could postpone our trip only a few weeks before we were set to go and reschedule this coming August. Not once did Sylvester complain or try to persuade us to change our mind. He assured us that it would be no problem and has never asked us for a penny more even though we are now scheduled to be there in primetime.
Thanks again Sylvester for putting up with us and handling the situation in such a professional way. We are all so excited about our upcoming trip and are very confident that our trip will be exactly what we expect, if not better. I am certain I will be reporting back with a 5 star review.

We came for the wild animals and we left inspired by the Kenyan people!
As travelers from Palo Alto, we researched everything online and communicated via email. We wired money and got yellow fever shots (at a premium, by the way) and arrived some days later via Emirates/Dubai. After spraying enough bug spray on ourselves and rubbing enough ..thon in all skin exposed area, we were ready to embark upon our safari. Our guide was impressively knowledgeable about the land, the people, animals, birds, etc. Our cameras snapped great photos and evening dinners and conversations connected our group of 4 families traveling together.
On the first day of the trip, we all spoke about our anxiety of bug bites, snakes, ferocious wild animals charging at us, etc. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Our accommodations were very high quality and bathrooms clean. Some plumbing was rusty due to the humidity in the jungle, but nothing that could not be cured with a few hotel towels.
On the last day of the trip, we gathered again after dinner to do a 'debrief.' It was amazing to hear how everyone (12 of us) no longer focused on our anxieties, but spoke about the majestic nature of the wild animals, e.g., the first lone male giraffe, the kindness of the people, e.g., our omelets makers, etc., and getting back to nature and the basics of human existence.
Yes, the mosquitoes were still around; as were the monkeys, giraffes, zebras, birds on some hotel grounds. Sleeping under the mosquito nets and keeping the windows closed solved that problem. But, after we got used to being in Kenya, we grew to respect the land, love the people, and wishing our trip was just a bit longer.
If you ever get a chance to visit Kenya, don't think. Just do it!

Enjoyed every minute
We both had a wonderful honeymoon - it surpassed expectations and every place we stayed was different but equally fantastic. We saw a lot of wildlife, lions every day, and were given a friendly welcome throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon - adventure, relaxation, some fantastic sights and amazing food and drink.
Overall, the trip exceeded expectations and was a memorable experience with the help of Savilinyi we received the best service and reliable communication. We have all come back with so many lovely memories. Thank you Emmanuel our Guide we really enjoyed our game drive and stay at the parks.

Gorilla and Golden Monkey tracking in Rwanda.
I had a wonderful time traveling with Terrain Safaris in Rwanda. The guide was very helpful and helped me meet with locals that had the same interests as me. Very professionally organized and I am definitely going to be using them on later occasions.
