Perfection
The Serengeti is unforgettable. This was life experience worth everything. Vividness of nature, the soul of the people, the unity of humans and animals is an admirable story in itself. All recommendations for the realization of this dream with Great Image Expedition and our wonderfull guide Godlistern Mathew. He is young man ready to respond to all requests.
I hope I will come again, where the Serengeti will give me and my family some new experiences.

Very well organized itinerary, reliable and excelent communication and Services
Africa Starpal Safaris went beyond our expectations when we traveled to kenya to witness the wildebeest migration. We did 5 day Nakuru and masai mara safari with my wife then went to Zanzibar for 4 nights. This was the first time we all see the big 5 animals. We then took a few days on Zanzibar to snorkel in the turquoise ocean and sight see historic Stonetown where Paul assisted us with also booking our flight to Zanzibar. The local contacts were professionally-trained wildlife guides and more knowledge on wildlife . Our accommodations and meals were 5-star fabulous and the staff at each safari camp and beach resort went above and beyond to give us a memorable, luxurious experience. We will use Starpal safaris once again and highly recommend them to family and friends. Thanks, all the team, for a well organized, highly enjoyable, and stress free trip.

An unforgettable Ugandan Safari
We had an unforgettable experience with Bugoli Adventures and would not hesitate to book with them again. The booking process was very personal, we spoke a lot with Michael and Reward beforehand to create the perfect itinerary for us, so from the beginning we could feel the passion within this company. We had previously organised our first 2 nights in Uganda separately, but Michael and Reward still met us in Kabale and drove us there, helping us to organise simcards and cash on the way. Our safari then started when we met our guide Silver, a man with a heart of gold. His knowledge is unbelievable and he looked after us so well, making sure everything was perfect during our time with him. We opted for a budget safari, but some of the accommodations really exceeded our expectations, especially in the national parks. We were in contact with Michael and Reward the whole way, sharing our experiences and we feel like we have gained not only great memories from our trip, but great friends too. I would 100% recommend Bugoli Adventures to anyone looking for an unforgettable Ugandan Safari, you will love it!

Experience the best parks, easy and simple
I been planning on going for another safari for the last few years and finally managed to go again this year. I been looking for various destinations but decided to go to Kenya once more, this time around I wanted to experience different parks. Direct Kenya Safari had a set tour that already sounded good but I wanted to change some parts of the trip. After few emails back and forth playing around with different parks and length of stay I found my trip. Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and finishing up at Masai Mara.
I decided for budget tour and was already happy of having luxury of having a bathroom. While sceptical at first about minivan rather than land cruiser, I was very happy with the comfort.
The driver had to deal with myself, crazy photographer... Stay... Move forward a bit... Can you move back.... Stop... Perfect. Now let's stay here for 1hour... He was very patient and kept eyes and ears open to ensure that I get to see the animals I was after and got the shot. On top he had great knowledge of the animals as well as about Kenya.
So all in all, easy to deal with and a great experience.
If I could change anything... Maybe spend more time in 2 parks rather than exploring 4,just to avoid long drives. Same time the parks differ a lot from one another.
Loved the Voi Safari Lodge with an amazing view from the restaurant.

Very well organized, very friendly and flexible for extra wishes
The trip was very well organized, the communication was good from the beginning to the end and we could even make some small changes according to our wishes during the trip. The accommodation in Naivasha and in Amboseli was very clean, the food was good and the staff was always friendly. Our driver James knew an answer for every question and took care of us in a very polite and nice way. We went to Mount Longonot, Hell's Gate, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli with him and enjoyed his company. In total we have no complaints and are really happy to have booked with Starpal!

Lord of caring
We did the summit of Kilimanjaro with Husain and safari with Godlistern mathew.
Anytime I requested anything the team figured it out. Not just me but my 12 year old summit killimajaro on a 5 day route . That should be evidence of care.
The safari was also an amazing experience with talented guided tour

Very responsive on whatsapp, organized everything well at short notice
We found Falcon Safaris on searching SafariBookings. We had very few days to plan our Safari trip to Zimbabwe and Taku at FS was very prompt and responsive. Given very few reviews on TripAdvisor we spoke with him on whatsapp and felt good to go ahead with the trip. FS are affiliated with Africa Bush Camps and helped put together an itinerary for Mana Pools, Hwange and Vic Falls.
Taku was excellent in all respects - very easy to communicate with, very responsive on whatsapp, helped book the sunset cruise, boma dinner, lunch at Lookout cafe, suggestions for restaurants etc. Brian helped drive us from Hwange and in Vic Falls - his brother Gilbert helped us navigate the open market for souvenirs.
We had a great experience with Falcon and readily recommend them. Cheers.
PS - i asked one of the camp managers re how to identify if a tour agency is genuine if they dont have too many TA reviews. He suggested looking for them on Google Maps. If they have an office then they're genuine..

Knowledgable ,interesting, great sense of humour, best camp food. Done 5 trips with Penduka.
I have traveled with Willem, Cowboy and Segal on 5 trips, from Chobe, to Central Kalahari, even to Zambia and Namibia.. I come back to travel with Penduka, because each time I learn more.. I love the sounds and the smells of the bush.. I feel like one can face life in a better place..
