A very successful 16 days wildlife super safari for one person
The result of wildlife rating should be very much better if I would have taken part on gorilla or chimpanzee tracking. Without the mentioned
animals you can'' t compare the wildlife with countries as in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia or South Africa. But also with a smaller animal kingdom you can have wonderful experiences. So I had the possibility to watch in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary my smallest rhino
I have ever seen before in Africa, in one of the lakes or channels my smallest hippo, without the mother you could carry the cup away with
both hands, a fish eagle with a too tall fish just in front of our car, not more than three metres away, twice the fish fell down in front of our car
when the eagle started to safe the fish and in Rwakobo camp I had the luck to watch a two months old waterbuck, found from the manager of
the camp in a age of 1,5 weeks without a mother. Two times a day the little buck came to the manager of the camp and was asking for bottles
of milk. Because you could touch the cup and give to the animal some milk, it was one of the main attractions.
The safari was organized with one of the best, perhaps even the best travel agency in Uganda. For nearly a year, the manager Jackie was
planning with me together my tour of Uganda. Jackie was a amazing and patient, with unusual prompt replies to my emails and with her help
I booked the best safari to suit my needs. With one of the best cars, a 4x4 wheel driven Toyota Landcruiser, we - the driver and safari guide
Martin - started our safari, when he picked me up at the airport around midnight. For road conditions, which I haven' t seen before during
nearly fifty years in Africa the car and the driver was the best what could had happened to me. Very often without any signs Martin found
without any difficulties his way and brought us without any breakdowns back to Kampala and Entebbe. Under no circumstances I felt unwell
or there was a fear of not enough security. Wether for lunch or dinner I had to eat meat, with his help I could always pick up a piece of fried
fish with chips.
The accommodations, with Jackie I had agreed with "moderate", were always very clean and comfortable, but only the accommodations in
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Rwakobo camp where a little bit more simple and older.
The mountains and lakes of the southwestern part of Uganda are postcard perfect. Katona Tours and Travel is a very experienced Tour Opera-
tortor and travel expert for East Africa. I would definitely use Katona Tours again.

well organized
Our guide Lenadi during safari was always in contact with other guides to spot as much animal as possible. Food, accomodation & etc. was all good.

Awesome National Parks and Wildlife
I spent one day in Nairobi, and that was enough. The city was crowed and overrun with litter. You couldn’t step out of your hotel without being set upon by several pushy men wanting to be your “ guide”. Traveling through the villages to the various parks and lake areas you saw the trash and liter everywhere. I realize it’s a poor country but picking up your trash doesn’t cost anything.
The parks and wildlife were completely different. Clean and it seemed, well guarded, the wildlife and scenery were amazing. We have always wanted to see the animals in their natural habitat and we weren’t disappointed. They were abundant and it was amazing to see them wander freely in their natural environment. The safari experience was everything we hoped it would be.

Watching the wildlife close but safety
National parks are amazing and something that should visit at least once in your life. You can see very close a lot of animals, bigs and smalls too. The weather was really good for travelling, some hot but not too much, and at night you can sleep without problems as temperature is nice.
Food is not varied and maybe is the weak point of this trip.

very well organized and prepared thanks to EVELYN
the trip was perfect organized and everything was running well. Just few comments :
.- Camp was changed in Kenya with no advance knowlegde or information but anyway the new one was good
.- Camp in Lake Manyara was also changed with no communication and no information making us confusing when arrived as nobody was waiting for us. Anyway, the new camp was very good
.- We travelled with other operator and not seven wonders, also nobody informed us.
.- The car in Tanzania was really not confortable for 5 people + driver+cook. I was in the middle, tight, no visibility...for 7 people in the car, this should be bigger...
In general, we really enyoyed the trip and let me insist that EVELYN did a great job always supporting us with issues and solving any topic. She is really good professional. The trip was really amazing.

I loved everything about Namibia, everything from wildlife, scenery to accommodations, food! My operator was exceptionally knowledgeable and thoughtful. I enjoyed it so much that I will definitely be visiting again.

Great experience with Time 4 Africa!
We found this Safari Agency through the suggestion of the Manager of our hotel in Dar Es Salaam, as we were interested in organizing a last-minute three-days safari in the Mikumi Park. In less than one hour, our private safari was settled! What a great experience! Our guide was really nice and helpful, the accommodation was comfortable and really close to the park and the safari was perfect! Even though we had a flat tire the guide immediately solved the problem with no time loss for our trip. Beautiful safari with a great company!

Want to come back again!
Wildlife and birds are exiting. We saw a lot.
Camp site was also exiting, so close to wildlife and unexpectedly clean and comfortable.
Food was also nice, thanks to our nice guide, Daniel who knows a lot about nature.

We travelled with Afroriginal who perfectly helped us to plan the trip, where to go, where to stay.
The safari exceeded our expectations. It's hard to beat the wildlife, biodiversity, and expansive landscapes of Tanzania. Especially the wildlife in the Serenghetti and Ngorongoro was tremendous.
Our tour guide was perfect with good information and the cook was marvelous too.
And of course Zanzibar is a mandatory destination with her stunning sun sets and nice Stone Town.
