Bucket List
4/5

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

Afroriginal Tours and Safaris
5/5

I have just returned from a 5 day safari with Afroiginal, Aug 2014 from arusha- lake manyra- Serengeti - ngoragoro crater - arusha for 2 people. Our driver/guide Fay was great, he knew so much about the country, environment and animals, he made us feel we were in safe hands the whole time. Fay has an amazing eye for spotting animals and his passion for his work was obvious.
We took the mid range option, staying in reasonable hotels and luxury tents which were all great. Food supplied was also fine.
My only criticisms would be not to take the night game drive as we didn't see much, although the experience was still good and also the time spent in the Serengeti- they are long days of very similar landscape (we were there 2 nights, 3 days). Although we were in the Serengeti and it was still amazing, it could have been improved by knowing where we were on the map and how far we were to travel to that day, although we could have asked, this was an after thought and we enjoyed the time regardless.

Arrangements were made via email with Desiriee who was very helpful, accommodative and gave great advice.

Overall, I would gladly recommend Afroiginal to anyone.

Two week safari with a small private group of friends.
5/5

Supportive and knowledgeable tour guides who showed us many beautiful places, animals and birds. Their ability to spot and identify was amazing. Our accommodation was varied and included lodges and camping grounds. All offered something unique, great food and a closeness to the local people. We always felt safe and secure and would recommend Best Camping Tours to everyone.

Incredible experience at a great value
4/5

We had a great experience with Kenya Walking Survivors. We did the 7-Day Kenya Nairobi and Tanzania Serengeti National Park tour. First and foremost, the owner of the company, Otieno, is a true professional. He was always very responsive and called me personally when I first submitted a request for information. Additionally, when our flight was delayed by a day, I was easily able to reach Otieno and he was happy to accommodate us. He reorganized our itinerary so that we were still able to see everything that we had planned to see--just in one less day. Our guide, Mike, was also very personable as was the chef that traveled with us, David. Mike ensured that we got to see as many animals as possible and was understanding of my desire to take a TON of great pictures. He sat and waited patiently while I got the perfect shots. Finally, the amount we paid for the adventure we had was extremely reasonable, especially in comparison to other tour operators. I think Kenya Walking Survivors is able to charge such reasonable fees because the company is locally owned and operated. Also, it was easy to see that Otieno is very hardworking and does much of the work himself so he has very little overhead. There are just a few small reasons that I am giving four stars instead of five. Based on the itinerary, we thought a stop at Olduvai Gorge was included in our tour but it was not. Mike stopped for us anyway, we just had to pay an extra park entry fee. Also, our tent had a hole in it. This wasn't that big of a deal but I was somewhat concerned about mosquitoes getting in. Finally, there could have been a bit more variety in the food that was prepared for us. Don't get me wrong, the food was very good, it just seemed that the same sauce was served each night with a different starch and protein. Overall, as I titled this review, we had an incredible experience at a great value!

Wonderful Wild Africa
5/5

From my very first call to Wild Africa, I new they would be brilliant. I was looking for a trip that covered - KENYA, TANZANIA & RWANDA. Initially an acceptable request, until I told them I wanted to leave within the next 7 Days.

Robert was extremely knowledgeable, personable and really listened to what we wanted. He immediately discussed great options with me & he knew the companies and people I would be travelling with personally, this gave me great comfort and confidence. For somewhere like Africa you need to know that you are in good hands & Robert at Wild Africa really did reassure me that we would be in good hands and also cover everything we needed. He put together a couple of options that worked together within our budget and time frame. I was delighted that he did all of this for me. I work in the industry and could not have done this as efficiently, as cost effective or as confidently as Robert. I gave Robert 1 week to organise a trip that normally people take a year to plan for. He absolutely came to the party with the urgency I needed to get the holiday I wanted.
Whilst overseas my husband got ill. The tour company personally escorted and stayed with us at all times to make sure we felt comfortable and got looked after. The first phone call we got via the tour guide was Robert to check what was happening and how he could help to make sure we had the rest of our trip sorted or changed, that was by far the best surprise and so helpful for me as I was preoccupied with my husbands condition and doctors. He was outstanding. I will be using Wild Africa for any future trips they cater for. Without a doubt an amazing travel experience - Im so glad I used an expert. Thanks Robert.

Maximum exposure, excellent service, best driver/guide, incredible experience
5/5

Form day one the office understood our needs and tailored an excellent trip. The total cost was affordable and well spend. The hotels were carefully selected to accommodate 3 adults in a room. Food was good. Safari vehicle was tops and the animals sightings incredible. The only disappointment was the pricey balloon safari which lasted 25min in the air flying over a burnt field with no animals. All in all another 2 nights in the Serengeti and a 3 night Masai Mara trip added would win gold. Thanks to World Air Travel.

Family safari
5/5

My husband and I waited for some years for our grils to grow up a little bit and to start travelling a little more again. So for our first holiday together with a 6 and 8 year old girls we had a lot of expectations, bit also fears and questions. Nataša from Shadows of Africa really made a difference. She did not just arranged the safari that was ok for children and still very interesting for us, and get us the perfect guide and person Tim, but arranged our whole holiday. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Olpopongi masai village and Zanzibar; Stone town and Kendwa beach. She booked all the right hotels for us and got us plane tickets and all transfers so we had no worries at all. All we had to do was enjoy! And we did, very much. I highly recomend them!

Unforgettable experience!
5/5

Hello, we are an italian young couple that booked the whole safari online thanks to the kind help of Esmail who suggested us the best option according to our needs, desires and budget.
The safari started on the 18th August from Arusha, the driver, Nurdin, picked up us at the hotel with an amazing and very comfortable jeep (Toyota Land Cruiser) and he had started to explain us many things about Africa, Tanzania, lifestyle and of course, about the savana and the safari we were just starting.
We were so thrilled about seeing "the big 5" and feeling the real African wildness.
After an extraordinary route to Ngorongoro Crater (we also stopped in a Masai village) we arrived in Serengeti National Park where we slept 2 nights in a whortly wild lodge in the middle of the park, Seronera area (Kati Kati Camp);in Kati Kati camp you can feel and live the real Tanzania thanks to the animals that during the nights passed across the tends. Just one word: fantastic!
The day after we had had the game drive in Seronera and we were very lucky: we had seen all of the big 5!!! The driver always gave us information about animals, plants and the Savana and he was much helpful and kind to us. The following day we drove to Ngorongoro Crater where we saw the fantastic gnu and zebra migration and so many animals including the rhino. We slept in Octagon Lodge in Karatu, near Lake Manyara where the day after we had the last but non least game drive.
The accomodations and the food were always in line with our expectations; the driver and the guides were helpful and always dedicated to us and our needs.
For the total of 1600 km on route we can go on record as saying that the safari was an incredible and unforgettable experience and we strongly suggest it with "Safari Big 5".

5/5

Me and my husband had a 3 days private safari to Masai Mara to witness the great migration. I had contact with Savannah Jamboree Travel to book for the game drives and balloon safari in the park. The response to my enquiry was urgent and the budget was reasonable. After we arrived in Nairobi, we were picked at the airport, transferred to our hotel where we rested waiting for our safari the next day. We visited the great Rift valley, lake Nakuru and Masai Mara which marked an awesome safari experience. I have carried lots of photos with me. Great country and great people. Thank you for your quality services.
