Excellent safari tour!
We were delighted with the safari tour. Our guide Evans was impeccable in his service, helpful, professional and great company. He has excellent ability to meet our expectations. During the tour we saw all the animals including the big five.
Experience to absolutely repeat!

huge disappointment
We had booked with Maximilian a stay for 3 days and 3 nights, first half day with the Masai, then 2 full days of safaris. Everything had started well, great welcome by the Double G Safaris team, very attentive team, 2 hours with the Masai... Maximilian arrived during our evening meal explaining to us that he had lost his mobile and our exchanges on the upcoming program while we had had him on the phone the day before to confirm everything. Small worry but after reading our exchanges, he validates the 2 days to come (2 days of safari), we pay him in cash and explains to us that he will not be our guide because he is too busy and but will give us someone we trust.
The next morning we leave serenely with the same guide who had taken us to visit the Masai village. He is adorable and we spend an unforgettable day.
On the way back, I talk to him about the next day. Surprised, he tells me that Maximilian had told him that it was over for us, that we were leaving the next day by train to Dar Es Salaam. Surprised, the worry is mounting, we try to contact Maximilian who does not answer us. We arrive at the camp thinking to see him to discuss it but we are told that he had to be absent and that he will not be there this evening! He sends us a simple message to tell us to pay the guide the entrance fee to Mikumi!
Our guide comes to tell me that Max has just called him, that he has bought our train tickets for the next morning at 7:00 and that it is like this and no other way!
The team on site is incomprehensible, our children are in tears to have to leave like this. We have the feeling of being kicked out of the camp.
Maximilian will not answer us anymore, our driver will have him on the phone but will not be able to do anything to change the situation. We leave sad, the team of the adorable camp with us is sad too.
Maximilian is a liar, a person without any morals.
Guide to avoid who gives a very sad image of his country where people are however so adorable.

A highly professional, detailed oriented operator who listens to your requirements and budget
Our safari holiday in the Maasai Mara was amazing. Steve from Ramja was on hand throughout the whole process. We travelled from Dublin, Ireland with our 3 teenagers. He worked within our budget and delivered a super package. Steve’s communications with us during the booking process, post booking and during our time in Kenya was superb. It was the personal attention that was so reassuring as we had never been on safari before. We felt like our holiday was in very safe hands. Steve uses fantastic guides while on safari and we really had the experience of a lifetime on our 3 day safari with Ramja. Steve also provided airport pick ups for us. We then had the pleasure of meeting Steve and his wife Jackie at the end of safari lunch in the gorgeous Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi. Ramja is a family run business and you feel that every client is important to them. Highly recommend this very professionally run safari operator.

Haruni from Lion King Adventures is the best
We had the absolute pleasure of having Haruni as our safari driver and guide during our recent adventure with Lion King Adventures, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Haruni's passion for the wildlife and his deep knowledge of the African savannah were evident. His keen eye for spotting animals, coupled with his ability to navigate through the rugged terrain with ease, made our safari an unforgettable adventure. In addition, Haruni's exceptional technical knowledge stood out. He handled every situation with expertise, ensuring our vehicle was always in top shape, which allowed us to explore the most challenging paths without any worries. Haruni was always attentive to our needs, making sure we were well-informed and comfortable
Thank you, Haruni!

Great week on safari
Really enjoyed my solo safari across Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Everything was well planned and I particularly enjoyed my driver John's company, he was very good at putting us on the animals we wanted to see most.

Great safari with very kind and knowledgeable guide
We had a great three days with Mr. Sudi in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Mr. Sudi is friendly, easygoing and very knowledgable about the animals and the area. We felt very well taken care of and had some beautiful encounters with lions, elephants, hippos and hyenas amongst others.
The food made by the cook was amongst the most tastiest we had on our whole trip to Tanzania.
Our best recommendations to Dendea Safaris and a big thank to Mr. Sudi for the unforgettable memories.

A wonderful experience
We had the best time on a 12-day tour with Buyaga Safaris through Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale National Forest, Bwindi, and more. All of the lodges we stayed at were clean and comfortable (many were even nicer than we expected), food was exceptional everywhere, and the staff were so kind. Peter was so helpful and made the booking process easy.
The highlight of our trip was getting to know our guide, Richard. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great time and that we saw the Big 5! He was always communicative, had a positive attitude even after long days of driving, and had a great sense of humor. He taught us so much about Uganda. We were also lucky to meet Osman and Anderson from Buyaga for part of our trip, and Osman helped us see a leopard and a lion up close — what a treat! I would absolutely recommend Buyaga and our guide Richard for any safari trip.

Tour guide Tony provided us with a memorable experinece
Communication with Irene and Samson were excellent.
Picked up on time. Good value for money.
When problems occurred Tony and Golden Trips sorted things out quickly and without fuss.
Tour was excellent and saw everything apart from Lion's, we went to Nyere and then stayed at Selous Lodge which was really nice.
