Hi Team from Africa Safari Classics
We are now to our routine in London, going to work again... and we could not conclude this amazing trip without thanking you for all your professional work. The experience in Kenya has been a lifetime experience, completely over the expectations. We have had the best advices and guidance, accommodation, service and of course, best driver, John!! We have seen EVERYTHING, and it has been beautiful to understand the wonders of the Kenya that close. We had no problems at all. The communication with you has been helpful and excellent since the first time we got in touch. You have been very honest and reliable from the beginning and completely open to adapt the Safari to our needs and budget. We have already recommended you to all our friends and relatives. We have to come back soon and see more of that beautiful Africa with you!!!
Amazing 3-day Safari!
We highly recommend to stay in Sakina Campsite and to book your trip with Oltumure Tours & Safaris. Robert was a great host even though we arrived without reservation. He spontaneously organized a fun and exciting Safari trip for us in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara National Parks. Our guide Victor was never tired explaining us the amazing wildlife and our cook Moses treated us with great food after the long days in the parks. Asante sana!

8 Day Lemosho Route with Kilimanjaro Brothers
I climbed Kili with Kilimanjaro Brothers in Aug 2014. I had communicated with 15+ Kili operators over six months before contacting George Mtaki. My criteria was:
1) To support a local operator directly (instead of going through an agent who would take a cut)
2) To find an operator who would provide daily health checks, carry bottled oxygen, a phone for emergency communication, and a portable toilet
3) A competitive rate (not the lowest)
4) Someone I could trust to organize the climb for me
As a highly-detailed trip planner, I felt comfortable communicating with George. He responded to my questions patiently and promptly without pressuring me to sign up with him.
Most importantly, George delivered everything we agreed on. He personally welcomed us when we arrived and provided us with a dedicated, professional team to take care of us on the mountain. Good equipment, good food. Our guides Gabriel and Priscus were attentive to our needs, comfort and safety (particularly when we exhibited signs of altitude sickness). I had difficulty breathing on the way down from the summit and am grateful to the team for their care. Gabriel carried me on his back for part of the way, then supported me till I made it back to camp.
I highly recommend Kilimanjaro brothers and am happy to answer more detailed questions if you are considering the climb. Thanks George, Gabriel and Priscus for the adventure!

Good camping safari
We did a 6 days camping safari. It was a very nice experience, the safari was amazing. Everythig was exactly as it was planned, no bad surprises! They only change a little bit the itinerary: we visit lake manyara the last day instead of the second day of safari, but we were fine about it!
Our guide was very good, professional and well prepared; we had a great safari together!
The tent were fine. The only negative point: they told us that there would have been electricity and hot water in every camping, but this was not true in the serengeti camp, but it was fine anyway!

Rikke was great to work with!
This was our first safari trip, and I decided to go with Go2Africa. Working with Rikke was a great experience. She was very helpful, and answered tons of questions that we had (some repeatedly). She worked with our custom needs and budgets. On top of all this, our Safari/CapeTown trip was excellent! We stayed at Elephants Plain Lodge and Thorny Bush Main Lodge for Safari's, which were EXCELLENT!! Then in CapeTown we stayed at Walden House which was OK. I wasn't too delighted with their service.
Hi Maurice
It was a nice surprise to meet you too in Arusha, I wasn't expecting to see you but it's always good to put a face to a name. Thanks for coming to meet us. I was extremely happy with the communication from you prior to making my booking. You always responded promptly. You also went out of your way to tailor a holiday to suit our interests and budget. Both of these factors encouraged me to book with your company. You seemed professional, your website appeared professional and you offered to Skype. Your attention to detail and promptness was reassuring. Our driver/guide was excellent. We were very happy with his knowledge and expertise in finding the animals and providing information. He was attentive and looked after us well. He was a safe and competent driver and we enjoyed his company as he spoke good English and was clearly experienced. All these skills and factors added to the enjoyment of our trip. The standard of the accommodation was excellent and service good wherever we stayed. We were lucky enough to get upgraded from Tloma to Kitela Lodge which was a pleasing and lovely bonus! I would certainly recommend your company to friends and family. I certainly hope to come back to East Africa again and would use your organization if booking a safari or activity holiday. Our trip exceeded my expectations in terms of standard of accommodation, service and enjoyment. I would like to thank you again and wish your Organization every success for the future. Please let me know if this is the feedback you require and whether you have any further queries. Many thanks again.

Well organised Safari
This was our first Safari and it was a nerve wrecking experience to book something suitable within our budget. The booking procedure by Safarihub was very straight forward and their assistance in tailor making a Safari was second to none. Our tour driver was very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed what the Tanzanian National parks have to offer. We look forward to booking our second Safari in the not so distant future.

fun and excitement
We have been on a number of trips with Best Camping Tours and Safaris and really enjoy them. All staff are so helpful, professional and friendly, and eager to please. Nothing is too much for them. Accommodation is always clean and suitable, lodges and sites are excellent, meals are more than adequate and of very fine standards.
We always see plenty of game...often animals that others miss. It is never rushed and there is always plenty of time for photos and just looking.
All is so professional, yet friendly and relaxed. We certainly recommend this company to both seasoned safari goers and to novices

Bucket List
Everything went to plan and the Bush House at Madikwe was great. I have no issue recommending Wildlife Safaris or the Bush House.
