Good company, reliable service
I took a 7 day safari and have a blast.... Overall experience was great, from the moment I contacted the company to quote to the end of the trip communication was fluent, amicable and professional.
Once on Nairobi Fredinah was most helpful and on the road both Ambrus and Bonifaz were excelent on shoing the beauties of the county... Although I could not see the migration (it was due one momth before) we saw the big 5 and a lot more...
I would reccommend the company to any one traveling to Nairobi and planning a Safari...
one of the best experiences in my life
Thanks African Scenery Holiday Staff !!!!

Beautiful experience in Zanzibar
We had a blast in Zanzibar, we were taken in tour around the city and taught about the rich history, it was really a humbling experience. We walked everywhere which was a bonus for interacting with the locals, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. Our hotel was right on the beach, beautiful view, everyone was so nice to us and great food. I highly recommend LUESA Travel & Tours.

Trip and Memories of a Lifetime
We traveled with a group of friends (6 in total) to Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. We met with Chris to communicate what we wanted from our trip to Africa and our budget. The smartest thing we did was listen to Chris and have him put together the itinerary for us. It ended up being an amazing trip that met and exceeded our expectations in every way. We were well looked after by local guides during the entire time we were in Africa. We were in Rwanda to see the gorillas which were the highlight of our trip. Our animal safari was in Kenya where we stayed at two camps, the Elephant Bedroom in Samburu and Encounter Mara in the Masai Mara. Both camps were in a private reserve/conservancy that made for easy and up close views of animals. Both camps also provided excellent service and food but a special shout out has to go to Encounter Mara camp for their 5 star all around experience. We ended our holiday in Zanzibar in Tanzania where we spent several days on the beach at Matemwe Lodge.
A big reason why we had such a great experience in Africa is due to Chris' guidance and knowledge. We received great value in using Safari Partners and highly recommend them for anyone thinking of traveling to Africa.

Overall Great Experience
Communications were great all the way from booking until my pick-up for the airport. The price was very competitive and I thought that the experience for being a budget safari was in line with my expectations.
While I felt like the communication from our guide could have been improved, it in no way inhibited us from seeing all that you'd expect on a safari in Kenya.
Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely brilliant support & Service for my Safari and Trekking Trip in Uganda
Having travelled several times in Africa as well as many times in Asia and South/Central America, without a doubt this trip exceeded our expectations more than any and Uganda proved to be our favourite destination in Africa. The guide chosen by Peter Mwanja, Joseph, is simply the best driver/guide we have used anywhere, he worked tirelessly to get the best for us, anticipated our every need, was an excellent safe driver and managed to combine this with superb spotting (including the tree-climbing lion in Ishasha) and great knowledge. The Ugandans are incredibly friendly and there is a greater feeling of security than elsewhere in Africa.
I just returned from an incredibly moving 10-day trip to see the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda, and I found so much more than gorillas! The people, the land, the food and yes, the majestic endangered Mountain Gorillas. I decided to go with our Tour Operator with direct DMC because the Managing Director, Peter Mwanja, is a native of Uganda. supported by the team people of Uganda. After communicating my main goals to Peter Mwanja, I just let him do his thing and he did it beautifully. We were greeted, at 4:00 am, by our bright-eyed guide Morris. Not having travelled much in recent years I was somewhat nervous, and Morris instantly put me at ease. He had our plan and he executed it gracefully even when I was confused. Our accommodations were great, services were wonderful, and my only complaint is that they fed us way too much good food! Peter Mwanja managed to slide a chimpanzee habituation experience into our agenda and wow, I'm glad he did. After 4 hours with the chimps, I felt complete in my experience with them. It allowed for witnessing many aspects of their lives and since much of their time can be spent in the trees I was glad to have more time so that I got to hang with them on the ground too. The next day we were off to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see the gorillas. We had 2 days of trekking and one day of habitation. The trekking experience allowed us to spend about one hour with the gorilla family once we found them. One hour may not seem like much but the experience feels like such a gift that much to my surprise

Untrustworthy operator, you will not get what you were promised; STOLE my private Facebook pictures
Out of a 3-day Serengeti Safari, we disappointingly spent nearly 2 full days in transit due to delays caused by the operator and ended up in humid tents on a public campsite that was not fenced or protected against wild animals at night and offered 5 toilets for 50+ people. In contrast what we booked and were thus promised even in written format by Calvin Onkendi, the owner of World Safari Land Tours, was a protected campsite with fixed tents equipped with a bed as well as a private bathroom. It is fair to state that our budget was not extremely extensive, but it is unfair and unethical having been lied to and not having received a refund that was promised to us, clearly in retrospective to appease us in the very situation.
Additionally, I was extremely shocked to find out (by coincidence) that the named owner had stolen my private Facebook pictures, not only the ones from the Safari, but even pictures of myself at home or in different locations, and had published and used them without my permission, in one occasion even depicting me as his girlfriend // affair. This is something that has never happened to me, which is why I would like to warn against this tour operator - the business practices I have experienced are highly untrustworthy and the behavior of the owner is intolerable!!!

I had a great stay in uvanda. The services were very good.
Was a great trip with top notch guides/drivers. Saw some things I had not seen before when on Safaris. I would highly encourage anyone considering a trip to Uganda/Murchison Falls to book it through these fine folks. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

Unforgettable holiday
Once in lifetime experience with and executive Touch!
I have always dreamt of being in Africa and thanks to simon and Wildrace Africa Safari Tour & Travel, my first time in Africa has been amazing, and for sure the safari trip was the best of it all!
Everything was supper perfect; Simon has been super helpful, swift in his responses, clear and precise in his explanations, very detailed in almost every aspect.
We landed in Kilimanjaro airport late in the night and as promised there was the driver waiting for us at the exit with our name paged on it. We were tranfered to Ilboru safari lodge for our night and later on picked up the next day in the morning to start our 6 days Northern Tanzania Safari visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National park with Arusha airport drop off for our flight to Zanzibar.
During our trip with Deodatus. We were able to spot all the big five and many more animals with lot of ease. Our guide was very professional, down to earth, flexible and quite accommodating with excellent driving skills leave alone the flora and Fauna.
Food was good and always more than enough, the lodges were excellent, best safari car one would ever want to be in for your Tanzania safari trip, very comfortable considering the roads' conditions.
I would not hesitate to recommend simon and his company for anyone who wants to have the best of African Safari experience of a lifetime.
They have both offices in Nairobi and Tanzania, we made our payment in Arusha office. Innocent Frank is the foreman in Arusha office.
Thanks simon, this was Unforgettable holiday!

Amazing trip with a great company
I really had a nice time, the safari was amazing, we had the oportunity to see many different animals, our driver was really good, he was friendly, talkative, trying to explain everything we wanted to know, and doing his best to make it easier for us to see every animal.
Everybody from the company was really nice and very helpfull.I strongly recomend African Scenery Holidays to everyone.
