Exceeded expectations!! Amazing experience with an incredible guide!
Everything about our trip was incredible; from the start of planning with Deo to the very moment we departed. Deo was great at suggesting places to go and which activities to enjoy at each location. Our safari was heavily centered around spending as much time as possible out in the bush and to experience a taste of a variety of ecosystems and landscapes. We visited Arusha Nat'l Park, Lake Manyara Nat'l Park, Serenti Central and North, Ngonrongoro Crater Nat'l Park, and Tarangire Nat'l Park. Each one offered a new experience and a new understanding of the animals behaviours in each park. We spent an average of 10 hours out in the bush each day, the days were long but so worth it! Daniel, our guide, had a vast knowledge of each park, the animals, birds, and natural behaviours. Being very interested in African conservation, ecology, and culture, the conversations flowed easily with Daniel and the long days felt like mere hours. He was an incredible, not only guide, but human. He is a very intelligent, compassionate, logical, and geniunely kind person and he made our trip all the more incredible. We loved every day spent with Daniel!
We saw the big 5 which everyone hopes to see. But we also saw a lot of amazing smaller species, such as Dik Diks, monitor lizards, pythons, antelopes, cheetah, mongoose, jackals and many many more! An incredible experience with incredible photo opportunities. Daniel would always find the best positions for the jeep so that I could Gert the perfect shot. Again Daniel was amazing!
Each accomodation we stayed at offered something new and unique. We stayed at mid range lodges and they were the perfect combination of rustic african while offering modern comforts, i.e. toilets and showers.
We ended our trip in Zanzibar where we didn't do any expeditions because we were so tired from our amazing safari. We spent 4 days laying around the pool enjoying the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks.
Earthlife Expeditions and all their amazing staff helped to make our trip to Tanzania a cherished memory that will last a lifetime! We will definitely be coming back!

Awesome safari!
The experience in Tanzania was fantastic!
Everything was amazing, my guide was young but very professional! There were some problems with our car, but he have been processed in a short time, so that our trip is not affected. And the food was good, even we have half vegetarian in our group , the chef also made a lot of delicious food!

tO BE THIS CLOSE TO WILDLIFE WAS AMAZING....ONCE IN A LIFETIME!
We had our arrangements made with Go safari. They were great. They booked at the Mohabetsi reserve at Kruger which was spectacular. Jock and Nina who managed the facility when we were there were superb. Jock was also our driver and wild life expert during our daily drives in the bush. His knowledge of the area, of the animals and his attentiveness to his passengers were outstanding. The lodging and food was excellent. I strongly recommend both Go Safari and the Mohabetsi reserve if you are planning a safari.

Most amazing experience imaginable
The activities (safaris, tours, lions walks, etc.) were so different and more than we could have hoped for. That alone would prompt me to write a glowing review, but Round Afric travel was absolutely great. The airline lost my friend's luggage when we arrived, and she literally had nothing. The company not only did everything to make sure we still made it to our activities but found time to drive us to stores in between to meet her needs. They were incredibly helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I could not think more highly of them.

GREAT
We really loved our 3-day safari to the Mikumi park.
Our guide, Charles, was the best guide we could imagine. He really did his very best for us to make it an unforgettable experience.
Unfortunately we didn't see the lions. We were looking for them for many hours. Our guide felt sorry for that, but ofcourse it's not his fault. You cannot plan nature so.....
Our accommodation was good. The bed was good, we slept well. But unfortunately there was no elektricity and warm water before 6h in the morning. So we have to wash ourselves with cold water and a flashlight because we left for game drive early in the morning.
The ride from Mikumi and Dar Es Salaam was rather long. I think we almost did about 7h to get there. We read it would only take 4h so this was not wat we expected. But our guide/driver did a great job. He was at our hotel in Dar Es Salaam at the right time, he drove very carefull but fast so this was definitely not his fault!
But these little setbacks were nothing compared to the fun and the experience we had.
We saw many wild animals from a close distance, we loved the food at the restaurant in the Mukimi park, and oh... what a view from there.
We heard the elephants next to our room at night.
We loved the peace and rest at the park, away from the bussy center of Dar Es Salaam.
It was like a dream come true!!!

We got all we were promised and even a bit more!
We came to Arusha for organizing safari and climbing Kilimanjaro. Mr. Robert organized both tours for us. We got individual tours for a very good price. We explained what we wanted (schedule, places etc.) and all was done as we wanted. We had great time, super guides, tasty food, we saw many animals, we were on the top of Kilimanjaro, we are really happy that booked these tours in Oltumure Tours & Safaris. We did not have to pay any more than it was discussed. And we even got some things for free (taxi to/ from the centre of Arusha -- many times + upgrade of our accomadation). Mr. Robert is a person you can trust. Highly recommended!

If I went again, I'd use a different guide company.
The scenery was nice and we saw a few animals but overall the trip was less enjoyable than I would have liked. Kibale Tours didn't do a great job with planning. They used a car that wasn't advertised and that was really uncomfortable. We had to stop numerous times when we were in a rush to do various things that should have been done beforehand. On the trip home, the guide put the wrong type of gas in the car and we had to wait for 3 hours on the side of the road while the tank was drained and the battery changed.

Safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru
We are a family of four, with two grown-up children who went on safari - three days in Masai Mara and one day in Nakuru. The experience was great and we would like to highlight the following:
We chose Tekko Tours & Travel as our agent for the stay due to their excellent service when designing the trip. A big thank you to Maggie for always following up on our queries and responding quickly on all matters. The service during our trip was also excellent. We were met at the airport and all practicalities with hotels, lodges and transportation were arranged "invisibly" with no unneccessary waiting time all the way until we headed back home.
The safari driver and guide, Stephen, was very friendly and kind and drove us comfortably and safely to interesting watching spots for the animals. He also had very good knowledge of the area and the animals we saw.
We chose a Toyota Land Cruiser for the game drives and recommend this type of car due to its ability to get through "everywhere".
For our part, four days was fine, as we were able to watch both "Big five" and the other animals we were hoping to see during these days. Both the wildlife and scenery were experiences for lifetime due to the natural beauty and the "authenticity" of the experience - very different from visiting a zoo.
We decided to limit ourselves to Masai Mara and Nakuru. If you decide to include more areas on the same trip, we suggest to carefully consider time balance between game drives and mere transportation.
Overall, we can highly recommend Tekko Tours & Travel as your partner in designing and arranging your Kenya/Safari vacation and if you have the chance, we definitely recommend including game drives and safari on your Bucket list!

Wonderful trip!
We really enjoied our self drive trip in Namibia. We had a very diversified route. Wildlife with a lot of animals, mountains, ocean and desert. Food in Namibia is absolutely delicious and you don‘t have to worry about hygiene at all. We experienced Namibia as a very safe country where you can walk through towns after sunset as well. Even the restrooms at the fuel stations were very clean which was quite a surprise for me. The roads are in a very good condition - even better than in Southern Europe!! We wouldn’t book a gps for a furure trip, it’s not necessary at all. We stayed in beatiful lodges with incredible friendly and helpful staff.
