Amazing experience - knowledgeable and friendly guides
My 11-day trip in Tanzania with my cousin, father, and grandmother was unforgettable, especially thanks to our driver and guides Elisante and Joshua. They were friendly, experienced, and had extensive knowledge about the history and natural environment of their country. Elisante and Josh were also attentive to the members of our group; they were happy to stop the safari vehicle whenever a group member had a question or wanted to take a picture. Overall, the experience was amazing, and the guides were excellent. 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Mikumi & Udzungwa
From first contact to the the last day, this has been a very smooth experience. The safari started in Dar; drive to Mikumi, then Udzungwa, then back at Mikumi for two more days of game drives (total 4 nights), before going back to Dar and the Zanzibar ferry. Winnie's has been incredible in her prompt and communication, and in coordinating and tailoring the itinerary, even accommodating some very last minute changes with ease. The guide/driver team (John & Saloniki) and the transfer driver (Isaya) in the field have been similarly keen and a pleasure to be around! Genuinely, an excellent trip and team all around. Would highly recommend!

Up to the challenge!
We decided to book a very last minute safari for my birthday and Smita & team were so helpful in making that happen, especially during peak season. They were responsive whenever we had a query and the docs on how to organise yourself for the trip were really useful. Highly recommend.

A soul filling experience that will never be beaten or forgotten
My review is for the hesitant traveller.. The one who likes their home comforts, who's maybe not so adventurous or out-doorsie, or who's only really agreeing to a holiday in Africa to full-fill a loved ones bucket list :)
After 20 years of dragging my feet, my husband finally convinced me it was time to head to East Africa, specifically Rwanda, with 6 of the 18 days in Uganda also.
He and Tour opperator Fred designed the perfect itinerary to meet the varied needs of myself, our 20 yearold daughter and 75 year old mother in law.
Fred had every aspect of the trip outlined and tweaked well in advance, and organised all required permits we needed for each treck and national park, so there were no hassles for us when we arrived.
Every place of accomodation Fred had arranged met all of our needs, with varying degrees of comfort to give us a different experience in each place.. And none challenged my need for home-comfort in a way that made me want not to be there, so job very well done! Each and every one was full of charm, gorgeous food and warm and friendly staff.
For 18 days, we were escorted from door to door, by our fabulous guides in the comfort of a well stocked and spacious land-cruiser. Ben Alfa was our Rwandan companion, and Meddi was our Ugandan man.. Both guys were the perfect match for our family, and now we're home we are missing them both! .. Entertaining, knowledgeable of their countries and animals, skilled drivers, with the patience of saints.. No anoying request was declined :) They knew where all the good eateries and toilets were, found all the animals we wanted to see in the 5 national parks we visited, kept the land cruiser stocked with water juice and snacks for our hours on the road, and took super good care of our oldest lady to the point I think she wanted to adopt them ;)
Every minute of our time was spent experiencing the breath-taking scenery and incredible wildlife, with some extra heart-filling experiences with the locals. Safari drives with elephants giraffes lions hyena a leopard, zebras buffalo's baboons warthog etc.. Amaaaaazing! Boat cruises to see crocodiles and hippos etc, with an extra special visit by a hippo in one of our camps :) Primate treks that will take your breath away.. A silverback called Mr Special, just casually brushing past our legs on the track before taking us to his family for gorgeous baby gorilla entertainment.. And a chimpanzee trek where we hung out with a mum and her baby just a couple of meters away! Golden monkey and Columbus monkey treks were gorgeous.. All experiences never to be had elsewhere. Museums, Canopy Walk, The Kings Palace, Azizi Life visit, Genocide Memorials, Tea and Coffee plantation visits, Hot-Air Ballon over Akagera National Park, Community and school visits, Bush Breakfasts and Sunset picnics.. Every single experience holds a special place in out hearts.
I look back through our 1800 photos and question how on earth I let us wait this long to make this trip happen! Don't wait, life is short, and you will never regret booking your dream trip with Fred Odyek.. A man we learned early on we could put our full trust in. He'll take care of everything, pair you with the perfect guides, and make sure your experience is exactly what you want it to be.. We can't wait for our next adventure with One More Adventure :)

**Amazing Safari Experience with Motto Tours!**
Our recent safari trip to Kenya with Motto Tours was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, their team was incredibly nice, caring, and responsive. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed at all times. When my wife needed medicine that we couldn’t find anywhere, they somehow managed to get it for us and personally dropped it off, ensuring we were comfortable and taken care of.
Motto Tours also crafted a package that included a stay at the exact hotel we wanted, which made our experience even more special. The attention to detail and genuine care from the entire team truly made this trip one of a kind.
If you're looking for an amazing safari experience with wonderful people who will take care of you every step of the way, Motto Tours is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Excellence
We felt very welcome and everything was perfectly organised. Our driver, Farah, was the best. He was an expert with many years of experience and knew all the good places. He was also such a good person. It would have been different without him. The hotels were also great and they made sure we had everything ready for our next destination. A lot of attention to details and cheaper than other agencies. Also you support Tanzanian People if you book with them. 100% recommended. We will be back. Asante Sana!

A perfect advice results in a perfect holiday
After finding Malika on internet , we had a meeting via telephone which was very pleasant and relaxed. Carlijn listened very well what we had in mind for a safari in Kenia and gave us a perfect advice. Starting the holiday the advice came true exactly as Carlijn told us. A very friendly safari-driver (Dan) accompanied us and told us about Kenia and the parks and the animals. With a flexibel attitude from Dan we had the possibility to give him some input for an extra gamedrive or to visit Tanzania border which was not a problem at all. After 4 days spending time with Dan and 1200 kms further, we arrived at Diani beach in a hotel (resort) for almost 2 weeks where we made some day trips accompanied by Kevin the taxidriver advised by Carlijn. Also a very friendly guy who showed us parts of Kenia near the beach. If we want to go back to this part of Africa we certainly will call Malika ( Carlijn) for a new adventure.

Extraordinary experience
I traveled around South Sudan with their team to visit 4 different ethnic tribes while camping. The South Sudan trip might be a bit tricky sometimes but the tour was well-organized. I felt safe with the team, and the hotel they booked for me was great. They helped me obtain a visa and gave me the necessary information before the trip. What I experienced there was once in a lifetime and unforgettable. They made my life memories rich, and I'm completely satisfied with the trip.

Amazing budget safari experience
If you're looking to save some money on an safari adventure then Inspired Feet are a great option! We took the 11 day experience with them crossing from Tanzania into Kenya. We saw an amazing array of animals and explored several national parks.
