Review about Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary by Family F
For our family, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary (safari destination) and Taita Hills Safari Resort (safari accommodation) was the perfect combination for a super memorable experience. Our game drives literally started from the resort parking and on most outings we were seeing animals within minutes!

My trip with Afrikan Accent Adventures this time was fantastic.
I had an incredible experience with Afrikan Accent Adventures! The communication was clear and timely from start to finish, making the whole process stress-free. The service was exceptional, with every detail thoughtfully planned and executed. The value for money was outstanding, as the quality of the trip far exceeded my expectations. The tour itself was well-organized and delivered everything promised, making it a truly memorable adventure. I highly recommend Afrikan Accent Adventures to anyone looking for a reliable and top-notch travel experience!
Thank you, Hellen. Arrange for everything for me.

Amazing operator, we definitely come back.
This is my first African trip. We came across Africa Barefoot Safaris on the website and talked with Prajwal. Prajwal, she is the best. She helped me plan my trip and adjust according to my request. She suggested the best camping for us, and it turned out fantastic. She knows our budget and keeps it in the budget.
After we decided to go with Africa Barefoot Safaris, Prajwal always keeps in contact to help us pack for the trip which is very important since this is our first safaris.
Once we stepped into the camp, it was indescribable. The view, the facility, the staff are all amazing. Especially the food, it was delicious (Even I am a picky eater.)
Moreover, we need to transport from one camp to another camp, Prajwal helps us provide the good transportation with best price. We met Patrick. Patrick is the guide of Africa Barefoot Safaris. He gives us the best knowledge and helps us to get the best picture we need along the ride.
Thank you to Africa Barefoot Safaris that made my first African trip memorable. We definitely come back.

An Unforgettable African Safari Experience
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an African safari organized by Jocky Tours, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and filled with unforgettable moments.
Exceptional Service and Planning From the moment we booked our trip, the team at Jocky Tours was incredibly attentive and responsive. They took the time to understand our preferences and crafted an itinerary that perfectly matched our interests. Every detail was meticulously planned, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable adventure.
Our guide (Peter) was not only experts in wildlife and the local ecosystem but also passionate storytellers. Their deep knowledge and enthusiasm brought the safari to life, making each game drive an educational and thrilling experience. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible sightings, from the Big Five to the lesser-known but equally fascinating creatures.

Poor communication, contractual issues
As a board member of a non-profit organization and a recent donor who secured a Wild African Safaris package through a charitable auction, I feel compelled to document the challenges we have encountered with Run Wild African Safaris.
We purchased a Run Wild African Safari package through the auction, looking forward to this trip as my third journey to Africa, albeit with a new tour company.
Approximately nine months before our trip (January 2024), we reached out to Run Wild African Safaris to finalize our booking. After paying several thousand dollars in unexpected additional fees, we signed the contract and secured our reservation.
Since then, we have faced considerable difficulties with communication from Run Wild. They have been unresponsive, failing to provide itinerary details promptly, not returning phone calls, and taking between one to two weeks to respond to emails.
Two months before our scheduled departure (Summer 2024), my partner was diagnosed with a medical condition that complicated our travel plans. I contacted Run Wild to explore options for transferring the reservation or adjusting the travel dates. I was informed that transferring the reservation would incur a fee of $1,750, and changing the dates would cost $4,800. Run Wild did not ask for any information about the medical condition.
Before committing to these additional expenses, I requested the itinerary to make an informed decision. It was only then that I discovered Run Wild had canceled our booking, citing a "failure to report a pre-existing medical condition" clause in the contract. This condition was newly diagnosed and did not exist at the time of our initial contract.
This cancellation was not communicated to us until we specifically requested the itinerary. When we inquired about the itinerary and other details, Run Wild requested confirmation of our need for a change. After informing them that we could not confirm, they notified us that the booking had already been canceled. If we had not followed up, we might have been left without a reservation or explanation while in Southern Africa.
Run Wild subsequently indicated that reinstating our booking would require disclosing the medical condition in the contract. However, they did not provide a new contract or facilitate the exchange of information, nor did they supply any itinerary details.
Given these experiences, it will be difficult for us to trust this company with future travel arrangements to Africa. Such issues can adversely affect donor perceptions and impact the reputation and effectiveness of non-profit organizations. We will continue to seek resolution through appropriate channels and share any relevant findings to assist others who may encounter similar difficulties.

Our guide & driver made the trip even more existing by how he was able to respond to all of our questions, he was very enthusiastic, professional and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed and never regretted a decision of touring with Tanzania Royal Explorers and highly recommend the company for good amazing dream experience trip
