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.

Wonderful experience
We are so fortunate to choose KETS as our tour operator for our first Safari Trip. As a group of five from Hong Kong, we have limited knowledge regarding the continent. The 7 days and 6 nights Safari Trip is well-planned and well-organized. Every details are taken care well. The itinerary is good and we have seen all the things we want. The driver and guide is very professional. He takes very good care of us and drives safely for the whole journey. With his sense of humor, he instills a lot of fun and laughter along the journey. Our guide, Lucky, has profound knowledge in the safari and can help to locate the animals we love to see.
We all enjoy an unforgettable Safari Trip! KETS is highlyrecommended!

Once in a lifetime camping experience
Super safe place to travel to and totally worth it for how up close and personal you can get with the animals and out in the bush

Stunning wildlife and scenery
Amazing trip - in 7 days we did Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate and Ambolseli - each park offered different animals and foliage. Trip was the perfect length for what we wanted to cover.
