PERFECT, every detail !
Our family adventure, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro ... I cannot thank Hazina Afrika’s team enough. Every aspect of our trip was a fabulous experience and it was because Rama Maulid took the time to ensure our expectations were met. From the trip planning to the greeting at the airport, the pre-climb and post-climb accommodations, the personal selection of our trekking guides and the team!, to the ranger guided national park walk about. Their first class quality of service, their experience and knowledge, their attention to detail regarding our personalized itinerary that made this our trip. Everything was perfect!
We knew it would be as we had previously used Hazina Afrika for our safari adventure a few years ago. We didn’t give it a second thought when we contacted Rama again! If you are thinking of Tanzania, you must contact Hazina Afrika!

Walking safari - great idea and nice change to the cars!
After sitting in a car on a safari through the more commonly visited nationalparks in Kenya (Tsavo, Amboseli, Nairobi...), we wanted something different and stumbled upon the walking safari through Hell's Gate and Lake Naivasha.
Communication was really easy via WhatsApp with Joseph - he answered very fast and helped us a lot!
A driver picked us up from our AirBnB in Nairobi in the morning and drove us to Hell's Gate - he really was only the driver; so don't expect a lot of information like from a guide. It confused us at first. Nevertheless, he was really nice and after a "warm-up" period, we chatted a lot about Kenya, the tribes, languages and politics.
In Hell's Gate we recommend to pack some extra money for the bikes to cycle to the gorge. For the gorge itself, there was a guide included. He was really awesome (ask for Joseph!) and patient while we climbed through the gorge. We stayed the night at Kongoni Lodge and were really happy - the food is excellent (fresh fish, pork chops, great soups, nice desserts)!
The second day, we went to Lake Naivasha and did a boat safari - nice to see Hippos and the island where "Outside of Africa" was filmed; really awesome to stand one metre next to a giraffe/zebra.
We arrived back in Nairobi in the early afternoon.

Fantastic 9 Day Adventure seeing all Uganda has to Offer
First and foremost, I would attribute our fantastic experience to our wonderful guide Obed. He was knowledgeable, experienced, responsible, kind, attentive to our needs, went above and beyond many times, and FUN! Chris from the office was also great and also very quick to respond to our questions and needs, he was very helpful creating our 9 day itinerary and provided us a nice detailed plan before we left. The staff from Encounter Africa were professional and timely. Now, the trip itself was absolutely AMAZING! We got to see gorillas, chimpanzees, lions in the trees, lions on the ground, lots of different animals with hooves, hippos, zebras, and a gazillion birds! Uganda is a beautiful country and we plan to return to see more of the National Parks. We will absolutely use Encounter Africa in the future when we return.
