A trip of a life time with Kenan Tours
I have been on over 10 safaris in many different countries in Africa, and our recent safari with Kenan Tours was by far the most magnificent one yet!! Jane is an outstanding communicator, and she was brilliant in helping us organize a trip that met the unique needs and interests of our big group of 10 family members. Jane was incredibly responsive and responsible and always a true joy to work with! And once we arrived in Kenya the real adventure began...our drivers and guides, Simon and Geoff, were wonderful, witty, and wise, and gave us an extraordinary game viewing experience! They were amazing with our children, always flexible and accommodating, and taught us so many fascinating facts about the animals. The lodges that we stayed in were gorgeous and such a good deal for the price. And the food and service we enjoyed through the trip were fantastic. Kenan Tours is an excellent company and they gave us the safari of a life time! Thank you Jane, Simone, and Geoff!!

Phillip Briggs Augrabies web page...location on map is incorrect...indicating Kruger NP
Safari Bookings web page...Phillip Briggs...location of Augrabies incorrect on map.
Augrabies NP is awesome and everyone should visit for the landscape and flora and fauna...wonderful to be able to explore on foot.
Outside area of restaurant needs up grading...cigarette butts in pots looks terrible...chairs and tables shabby.

Review about Kruger National Park by Eszter Katalin Matrai
We had a great time, and saw a very diverse wildlife

Beautiful with a breadth of animals.
The transportation was top notch. For a game reserve outside of the Kruger it was decent but you noticed a distinct lack of communication between the rangers in order to find the animals.
Syaint that, we did see elephants bathing, rhinos, giraffes, zebras and a variety of buck.
Would recommend for a 1 day safari close to Johannesburg, if you don't have time to visit Kruger National Park.

A real dream come true
We spent 6 days with safaris in the southern and the middle part of the park. The wildlife and the scenery was breathtaking. Everyday we saw something different. We were very lucky, we saw everything we wanted from dung beetles to leopard. We had our own guide and safari vehicle, which was a great decision so he would organise our days specifically to what we wanted.

5 stars, simply amazing
5 stars, simply amazing
I booked a solo trip with Bush2City for the 12 day Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari. I had done a ton of research on various tour company options and selected Bush2City based on reviews from other travelers. This trip was stunning - I am a photographer and got so many amazing shots of the terrain and animals. It was truely a life changing experience. The Serengeti balloon ride gliding over the tree tops. Watching the elephants and the graceful giraffes. My guides, Jaime and Danforth, were kind, very well informed as I the one who asks tons of questions and both great people! They made this trip wonderful. Jackson was an amazing organizer! Highly recommend!!

5 days Uganda Safari
We had a wonderful time going on Safari with our super guide Herbert who made a huge positive difference in our tour. The director Nicholas helped us with the itinerary where he did very well. The trip was well planned and we were given a sturdy reliable 4x4 vehicle. Herbert knowledge of wildlife, birds and culture is vast from the way he answered our questions with detailed explanations.
We also liked our accommodations which served great food. Very clean too and professional staff.
A great company fully worthy the five stars

Excellent tour operator
We did a 5 days safari with Chaz Tours and Travel from April13-17, which included the Masai Mara, Hell's Gate, Lake Nakura and a half-day hike at Longonot.
We had an amazing experience with them from the planning phase until our departure. Martin, the tour consultant, responded almost immediately to all my emails when I was planning the trip and was very helpful and positive in all of our correspondence (even though I asked a ton of questions!).He was also very accommodating and flexible with the trip. We're very active people so wanted to add a hike at Longonot. They allowed us to do 4 days as part of the small group and then arranged another driver so that we had 1 day on our own. We just modified the schedule so that we had less "down time" and managed to fit in Longonot without missing out on anything. It cost a bit extra but sure was worth it!
The company also picked us up from the airport and brought us back there, even though our arrival and departure dates were different than the trip dates! My boyfriend and I arrived at different times. They picked us both up and even got him from the hotel so he could be there to greet me since I hadn't seen him in months. (Extra airport trips cost a reasonable $20).
As for the safari.... WOW! That was absolutely incredible! We saw all of the Big Five and our driver sure worked hard to make sure that we saw as much as possible! We saw hundreds of animals every day! All the safari companies appear to do the same things when in the parks and the drivers work together to find the best animals, so I doubt the experience will be much different if you use a budget company vs a high end one. I think the main difference will be in the hotels and food you get. We were very happy with the eco camp and the hotels. The food was very good in some places and just okay in others (a lot of the same things served), but for the price we paid, we were very, very happy with it and it was much better than we expected.
If you go to Hell's Gate, I highly recommend biking and doing the hike at the Gorge. They were amazing! Just be sure to know whether or not the hike is included in the price you pay before you get there.
I highly recommend Chaz Tours and Travel if you want a great safari experience with friendly and reliable staff (if you don't need 5 star hotels or food). They were great... especially Lawrence who got us from the airport, hiked with us at Longonot and sent us some amazing photos from our hike! I spent many hours researching companies before I went and I'm so happy I chose this one. I would certainly use them again if I ever go back to Kenya. Thanks so much to Martin, Lawrence and our safari driver for making this such a great experience!!!
