Quick response with good service and very affordable price.
This trip to Kenya & Tanzania was fantastic, all the hotels we have stayed were excellent, all with different and new experience. And the tour operator's quick response with good service and very affordable price. The best time to Visit Massai Mara End of July and August. All other places ( Naiversha, Amboseli, Manyara & Serengeti are just average places). If someone is planning for exploring wildlife alone, the best place would be Massai Mara (3-4 Days) and if you want to explore more places then Naiversha(1day), Amboseli(1day), Ngorongoro(1day) and Serengeti(2 days) would be better option. You will have to travell a lot, so be prepared for this. Also note: older USD notes before 2004 will not be accepted in Kenya, so make sure you have USD currency printed after 2004.

A most fabulous and wondrous time.
I am very pleased with our 5-day Kruger safari. It could not have been easier to arrange and I do not know how it could have been more fun. Lynn and Christine with Wildlife Safaris made it a snap to set up the tour via the internet. One or the other were in contact via email and ensured that everything was arranged beforehand. There were three of us traveling together for the safari and we did not know what to expect. Wildlife Safaris specializes in small group tours and for this one it was just the three of us. It was our own private tour! We were extremely fortunate to get “Hoppy” to be our guide. Hoppy quickly adjusted to our idiosyncrasies and was very patient with us. He is exceedingly knowledgeable and has a sharp eye for spotting something interesting while driving in Kruger. He was happy to stop whenever we wished and managed to find an angle for viewing by everyone in the vehicle. I appreciated the fact that he did not spend his time “chasing down” animals, but rather let things unfold. We were drawn to the birds and other animals and not just the “big five.” Hoppy gave us a magical experience in a fabulous country. Wildlife Safaris made it very easy for us.

Three weeks roundtrip SA with 10days private tour guidance (GREAT)
While reading the reviews we are proud that we where Freya's first couple (2010) for such a long private guidance tour :-)
We had a great trip which, for us, was a unique experience. The diversity (of surroundings) we requested was really there. Also the quality of the accommodations was outstanding.

"Adventure of a Lifetime: 10-Day 3 National Parks & Panoramic Route Tour!!!!!!!"
Outstanding private tour with Andy and Quintin as our guides. Andy was great with helping to customize the trip to our liking and he took care of every detail to include what we liked to eat and drink. We visited Marakele National Park, Mapungubwe National Park, Kruger National Park, a private reserve, and the Panorama Route and had an adventure of a lifetime. Andy and Quintin were both expert guides and kept the entire trip fun and interesting. We saw all of the “Big Five" numerous times and countless other wildlife throughout the trip. The landscapes at each park were varied and amazing. The many game drives and walks were exciting and informative. The meals that were prepared by Andy throughout the trip were delicious. If you are looking for a customizable private tour and a hassle free time from the moment you arrive at the airport, Bubezi Safaris is it. I would definitely recommend Bubezi Safaris for anyone looking for a "local feeling", relaxed holiday.

Exceeded our Expextations!!!!!
Our trip was incredible, all thanks to the founders and owners of Flight of the Eagle - Johan and Elize.
They took the effort to get to know us, and went to great lengths to accommodate our every need, and customize our trip - thus making our vacation both comfortable and memorable. Johan and Elize are scrupulously honest and extremely knowledgeable. They are warm and friendly, and most important genuine. Johan and Elize are not just tour operators. They are also dedicated honorary rangers, and spend a portion of their free time to deal with pressing issues such rhino conservation. They have a depth of knowledge about the behavior of animals, and the history and culture of this great land. We were left with many priceless memories, and would highly recommend Flight of the Eagles to everyone.

Go2Africa was wonderful-prompt, efficient and timely
Go2Africa exceeded my expectations. The arrangements they booked for our safari with &Beyond lodges were exceptional. Go2Africa also booked all our flights--it was coordinated perfectly. Everything down to the final detail was taken care of and all of our requests were fulfilled to make this a trip of a lifetime. We had one transportation issue and our agent, Lauren Johansson immediately responded and helped to resolve the matter immediately. I would strongly recommend Go2Africa to anyone planning a safari.

Dream come true !
First of all, Kanuth is an awesome guy !!
I was in a group of 5 people, and we had the time of our life. We saw all the BIG FIVE, and the trip was such an adventure. It's now 4 months since I was there, and I think about the trip all the time. It was sooo amazing, and yea just really a dream come true.
We had our own cook on the trip as well, named "Banana" and he made the BEST food ever.
Kanuth made everything he could to make the trip "our own" so whatever wishes we had, he did his very best to try and fulfill them - in which he succeeded.
I should mention, our safari lasted for all in all 6 days. Two days were spent on driving from Dar es Salaam to Arusha and back (We were picked up in Dar es Salaam and driven back by Kanuth as well). The parks we attended were Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. On the way we also visited a Maasai village, and there was always something to see when driving between the parks as well. He also booked two hotels/motels for us to stay in, in Arusha, and they were both great.
I will highly recommend Kanuth Adventure Safari's to anyone planning on going on a safari.
I am already planning on going back.

We've done a wonderful safari at Masai Mara, Serengueti, Ngoro Ngoro crater and Lake Manyara.
We've done an amazing Safari with Maasai Trails East Africa. Since the beginning, we have all the support and convenience, with the incredible help from Robert. We were luck to get two especial guides in each cowntry (Paul at Kenya side and Comfort at Tanzania side) that provided all the support, help and everything that we need. Especial thanks for them!!
I can't say anything diferent the totally recomend Maasai Trails for everyone. It's guaranteed to have a great trip plan with perfection!!!

Great trip
My girl friend and I took a private safari with restoration safaris for Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara. Our guide (the owner) Mr Bariki was extremely helpful and well versed with the flora and fauna of the region. The team as Restoration Safaris was extremely proactive and helpful towards delivering on our requirements. Would definitely recommend them to friends.
