Great holiday in Kenya with Right Choice Tours & Travel
Me and my mother had 8 days safari which we ordered in Right Choice Tours & Safaris. It was something special, unique and unforgettable. We covered the most famous national parks. The trip was well organized, our driver Saimon was very patient and payed a lot of attention to details, he always stopped in order to show us animals, which we did not notice at first. Special thanks goes to George, the owner of the company, who offered nice safari 3 days before my arrival and was so kind to meet us in the Nairobi airport.
If you want to have a nice holiday in Kenya Right Choice Tours & Safaris is a really right choice! This company is reliable.

Excellent Safari with Terminal Tours!
We used Terminal Tours for our 3 day Masai Mara Safari in mid June and had an excellent all around experience.
Firstly, Terminal was great during our planning phases, and was very easily accessible by phone an email. Nelson Nyami, the main contact, was especially helpful. When we needed to switch the date of our trip last minute, Nelson worked with us and was flexible in arranging a safari that worked for us. Terminal tours was also very helpful in arranging accommodation in Nairobi, and gave us contacts for reliable drivers and suggested restaurants to us.
The safari itself was excellent. Our driver was informative and polite. We saw all the big 5, among a host of other animals. We got lucky as the migration period started early while we were on safari, and had 3 great game drives. The truck had a raised roof to allow for easy viewing, and we were able to get very close to animals like lions, cheetahs, elephants, and more.
The accommodations during the safari were very nice as well. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable, and the buffet style dinners (and 2 of the lunches) were very good.
All in all, Terminal Tours provided an excellent safari experience at an incredible value. I would highly recommend using this company!

Super Tour with super lodges and Super Sam (our guide;-)
Everything was great!!! Communication (even in German), the safari (we saw more tree lions than any other person we talkend to, thanks to Sam!), the beautiful lodges in breathtaking scenery, etc. I can absolutely recommend Matoke-Tours! And don't miss Ngambe Island - it's worth it in spite of the vaccinations needed!

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro & safari
It was great experience from the first day / first contact we have with ANDA. The email conversation and arrangements were prompt and on time. All we asked was answered and/or organized. In Africa organization of team and climbing was very pleasant and helped by all so our group whole reached the 5,895 metres Uhuru Peak. celebration on ANDA rented home was therefore fantastic. They helped us in going to or returning from downtown by car etc. Three day safari was what we needed after climbing as a relaxation and was wonderfully organized - we saw a lot of different animals in different places.
All in all was excellent - just time management in Africa is different than we are accustomed too and should be taken in consideration (it is running slower ...).
A truly memorable experience
I recently spent 4 days on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari with Tomodachi Tours. The experience surpassed my already high expectations in every way.
The game viewing was fantastic throughout the tour. We spotted our first lion even before the actual game drive, right on the way to our lodge. And speaking of lodge, the accommodations provided by Tomodachi were par excellence. Serene and luxurious, while retaining the feel of African wilderness.
The highlight of the experience however, was the staff and service; extremely knowledgeable and highly courteous.
A must experience at least once in your life.

Fantastic experience
I visited Tanzania with mi girlfriend two years ago. It was a fantastic experience. Peter (the "boss"), Aly (the guide) and Rouben (the driver) were very kind and assisted us in all we needed from our arrival to our departure. I always recommend Best Safaris because they offer personalized programs and very good prices. They fulfilled everything they promised: we saw all the animals we expected (even more), the lodges proposed by them were excellent... Definitively, this experience exceeded all our expectations.

Awesome Safari with Africa Adventures Safaris
We booked a ten day tour in June with Africa Adventure Safaris and have nothing but positive feedback regarding them. We dealt with Nicholas via email and found him to be helpful and accommodating from the outset. We did have our concerns about visiting certain parts of Uganda, particularly the areas along the border with DRC, however, Nicholas was able to provide up-to-date advice and assurances. We therefore arranged an itinerary including Murchison Falls NP, Kibale Forest, QENP and Bwindi Forest thus ensuring that we would be able to fully experience the variety of Uganda's natural environments and wildlife. Nicholas took care to provide an itinerary that would meet our requirements and provide us with the best possible experience, for example by recommending the Chimp Habituation Experience over the tracking. Prior to departing for Uganda we paid the full amount via Pesapal which seems to be the Ugandan equivalent to PayPal. This worked flawlessly and Nicholas was able to quickly confirm receipt of the payment. On arrival at Entebbe airport we were met by our guide and driver, Douglas who throughout the trip proved to be knowledgable, caring, humorous and above all extremely professional. Douglas advised that he had been working in the tourist industry for 20 years and his expertise and experience was apparent throughout the trip. He kept up-to-date with the situations in the national parks giving us the best chance of spotting all of the animals that we wanted to see (including giraffes, elephants and hippos in Murchison Falls and lions in QENP). Moreover, the relationships that he has established with locals over the years ensured that we received the best of service in all of the lodges etc: we were even given preference in terms of choosing the gorilla group that we wanted to track in Bwindi. Overall, we had an awesome adventure in Uganda and would highly recommend Nicholas, Douglas and Africa Adventure Safaris!

Was fantastic. So professional and value for money. We were looked after everywhere we went
Everything from start to finish was so professional. From the planning of our trip till well past the final date. The drivers and the team went out of there way to make sure we saw everything we wanted while we were in Tanzania. Our driver made us feel like part of the family with specially purchased picnic gear for tea and coffee on the run. They went out of their way to ensure we got to our next destination which was not even part of their tour so we were very thankful. We got some amazing photos which we were able to share with the team after we got home. Thanks guys

CrissCross Safaris is an affordable, well organised and experienced operator.
A short overview of my 2014 Safari in Namibia with Cory and Julie.
Thanks to the pleasant atmosphere, courtesy of CrissCross Safaris, the tour consisted of one highlight after another.
The landscapes were impressive and cycled like a screen saver through thick bush, open grassy plains and red dunes in the Namib desert. Wild animals came to make our acqaintance around every corner. Even the roads, although gravel, were in a fair to good condition, making our driving experience safe and comfortable.
To get that close to the wildlife in the Etosha Nature Reserve was truly an experience of note. The water holes also did not disappoint with a wide variety of animals ranging from giraffe, elephants, rhinos, lions and various different species of antilope. The birdlife is also abundant, colourful and keeps things interesting.
Our visit to the Ovahimba kraal was very interesting and the guide did a good job of intruducing us to the Ovahimba lifestyle, culture and customs.
Touring through Namibia means long distance driving, but the accommodation in the lodges more than makes up for that. very tidy, clean and the personnel are courtious and friendly. All meals were very well prepared and tasty, and plentiful. Namibia left me with the impression that it is a safe place to visit and the people relaxed and friendly. It is a very interesting country to visit and has so much to offer tourists.
I want to thank and commend our guide, Thinus, from CrissCross Safaris, who always makes the safety and enjoyment of his guests first priority. Thinus also shares his enormous wealth of knowledge about Namibia, its history, attractions, culture and people in a very entertaining and informative manner. And when the going gets tough, he is always ready with a little joke to uplift the spirits of the tour group.

Fantastic safari and extremely wonderful trip!
I am a solo traveler so I was trying to find a group to join in,and Michael(the owner) find me ,answer all my questions really quickly,and with patient (by the way he is really a funny guy).
Our driver ,Elias,is a friendly,sincere person!I always felt comfortable while talking to him and I also consider him my friend!Elias always took care of everyone,and he got a extremely good eye sight! We saw all the big 5,plenty of birds,wildebeest and zebra migration,and lots of other animals.
Our cook Gabriel prepared great food everyday,I really enjoyed the soup!
The camp site in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was really nice!The sky,stars,the sound ,and lots of wild life surrounding us,it was just fantastic.
I think I am lucky because everyone in the group I joined is so friendly,funny,and special.We had lots of laugh and good memories.That the good thing about join in a group!
The only disadvantage is that everyone got a different schedule(for join a group),some leave earlier or some later,and sometimes we have to cut our trip shorter to fit the schedule.
It would be better if we could discuss the schedule previously and try to have the most time to visit without delayed other's plan.
It was a really really great trip more than my expectations!And I like that Michael showed at the last day and say goodbye to everyone~I will recommend Northern circuit adventure for my friend in Taiwan!
Thanks a lot!
