Comprehensive and Quality Service
Dancing Zebra Safari helped us plan and ensure a wonderful experience with the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in Rwanda.
There are many moving parts to traveling in Africa and I highly recommend utilizing a travel service like Dancing Zebra Safari to help navigate the details and logistics that are involved. Their local expertise allows you to relax because you know they've thought of everything and you can simply focus on the experience. Once all is confirmed, they provide very detailed information about what to expect, what to pack and what to consider as you're preparing for and executing the trip.
We had a wonderful guide, Jean-Marie, who is a lovely human who was knowledgeable and provided great service. We learned about Rwandan culture and developed a deeper appreciation for the country's history and spirit through the many hours we spent with him. We will never forget the immersive mountain gorilla experience. It was beautiful to witness them in their home and to observe their behaviors up close. Obviously you must keep your distance for a number of reasons, but it's an intimate encounter nonetheless. The staff at Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel took great care of us and even provided foot massages and cleaned our hiking boots upon returning from the treks.
A suggestion for consideration is related to tipping. While tipping range guidance is provided and tipping is not mandatory, it's hard to imagine not tipping the locals who work so hard and provide such great care and service. To this end, it would be great if the tipping amounts were determined prior to the trip and included in the overall costs. This way, you don't have to carry a bunch of cash with you and can fully relax. This said, you will still want cash on hand for unexpected needs or unexpected tipping. For example, we weren't prepared to tip the gorilla or monkey trackers.

Great Amboseli safari booked through Kevic tours! Fantastic family experience, highly recommended!
I booked a last minute 2 day Amboseli safari and Boby was very helpful with booking a fantastic safari and accommodation at Kibo safari camp. The booking experience was very smooth with good communication all along. The safari, tour guide and accommodation exceeded our expectations! I’d definitely book a tour with Kevic again and recommend them to others.

A memorable journey of my life and thank you Wyclef!
We can't believe we are back to Sydney, Australia.
I still think of gorillas, chimps, Lions, Murchison, Sipi Falls and Rafting white Nile.
We have planned our trip 8 months and spent three weeks in this amazing country Uganda, organized by our guide Wyclef. The whole journey was incredible and will be a memory for a lifetime.
I cannot find enough words to thank Wyclef, for his incredible knowledge and patience; he never complained and always took on all our requirements for the best outcome. He was always willing to help and was very positive towards any unexpected request.
He is also an excellent and safe driver and we went through many difficult roads without trouble. He was everything in our journey and made things happen for anything; like exchanging money, or buying food we wanted on the journey.
The most memorable highlights on this trip were (i) the gorilla tracking where we spent over 6 hours with a family of 22 gorillas in the forest which was an absolutely amazing experience, (ii) a visit with an overnight stay in a chimpanzee sanctuary (Ngamba Island) which was a very emotional experience. They have 98% DNA the same as humans. We fed them on the Island bank after we called them, they came out to greet us on the water edge; a very memorable experience.
If anyone wants to come and visit Uganda, Wyclef is the person to talk to. and his company and his staff will provide remarkable service to make your journey a delightful memory. He is highly recommended.
I have documented our journey in videos. You can see them from Gorilla and Beyond on Instagram and Facebook.

Not bad not terrible.
Too many added costs to the tour. The basically give a driver that knows bits and pieces about animals and he just drives you like a taxi driver from place A to place B. No value for money for some of the "attractions" we saw.

Trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable and helpful Tour Company
We had an amazing Safari adventure through Africa Safari Bookings, with expert planning help by Claude and Edmond, and assistance during the trip provided by Francis. Our initial plans to travel in July 2020 had to be cancelled due to Covid and closed borders, but the staff were very professional and remained in communication, and so when we were able to travel once more we had confidence we could use this company again.
Our customized itinerary included visits to Bomas cultural, Giraffe and Elephant centers in Nairobi, game viewing at Amboseli National Park, crossing border to Tanzania, taking in the sights at Lake Manyara, game drive through Ngorongoro Crater, exploration of the Serengeti, crossing back to Kenya for game drives at Masai Mara, then to visit Lake Naivasha for boat ride and nature walk, on to Lake Nakuru for another game drive, and lastly to the famous Samburu National Park in the North. We got to see all the Big 5, as well as the Ugly 5, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, many species of bird, variety of Antelope from largest (Eland) to smallest (dik-dik) in the world, and we got to see the Samburu 5 (Grevy's zebra, long-necked gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich and Beisa oryx).
Our drivers in both Kenya and Tanzania were knowledgeable, excellent spotters and respectful of animals. The vehicles were safe, sturdy and well-maintained.
All in all a fantastic trip, which was well organised and managed by Africa Safari Bookings Advisory Center. I am happy to recommend using them for your tour.

The team personal & professional, the trip unique & exciting, the travel comfortable & substainable
I spend one of my most exciting and beautiful holidays with Viatu in Namibia. From unforgettable game drives, lodges with stunnig locations, delicious food and an adventurous cycling trip through the desert we got the full package. Even with some minor inconvenience caused by the airline Viatu supported us and made sure our trip remains perfect. Knowing that our holidays were not only relaxing and exciting at the same time, but also that all the partners support the local community and work sustainable. Which in this time is equally important to me as the whole journey. Would definitely book again and recommend this kind of travel to anyone who is interested in a unique experience away from mainstream travel
