Brilliant weekend with the Pristine Crew!
I went on a 3 day, 2 night, weekend safari with Pristine Trails. I was part of a group of 7 volunteers based in Moshi, Tanzania, where the Pristine office is located. Our weekend trip started of by Edward (one of the partners of Pristine) picking us up from where we were staying and taking us to our truck where we met our wonderful guide Vincent and heading to our first park: Lake Manyara. All the Pristine guides are incredibly friendly and excellent hosts. For example on the first night of our stay at the campsite, the bar only had Kilimanjaro Beer, but as we were on 'Safari' we would of all preferred Safari beer. And without even asking the next night the fridge was stocked up with Safari beer! We couldn't of been happier! As for the safari it's self, it was sensational, the views, the animals and the determination of all the Pristine guides working together to find any opportunity for us to see the 'big 5'! And they didn't disappoint. We were especially luckily enough to see a whole pride of lions, only a few meters away feeding on a carcass, believed to be a zebra. I would highly recommend Pristine trails as they will cater for all your needs, they are knowledgeable, well experienced and provide an excellent adventure which will always be remembered. We all certainly had a great time and the Pristine 'Food Engineer' provided us with some of the best food we had eaten whilst in Tanzania, every morning and night!

Great company to work with!
We had a wonderful time at the Mara, Serengeti, and Ngrongoro Crater. James M was an amazing guide! Raj was very good, too. Monica and Joyce in the office were great to work with. Our flights got messed up, and they were very helpful in rebooking our tour for us. Very good price, too. I checked with several other companies and this one was the best. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Amazing Safari, great country, friendly people
We had been planning to go on Safari for a very long time and we finally had the opportunity this summer. We sent our safari requests to several operators and decided to book with Safarihub purely because of their helpful customer services, quick response and more importantly price - we were getting a lot more for our money. Mike the driver picked us up from Kilimanjaro airport and we set off on a 7 day Safari exploring some of the greatest game reserves in the world, a wonderful experience and Mike was a seasoned Safari guide with tons of knowledge. We would recommend this company - especially for people going on their first Safari.
My holiday at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Monika and her team were very thorough and professional in all areas of arranging my holiday. They paid complete attention to every detail and nothing was overlooked. I would highly recommend The Safari Source to anyone else wanting to travel in Southern Africa.

Great experience and excellent customer service
Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris organized a safari tour and a Kilimanjaro trek for us, inclusive of all the transfers between the 2 places We were really happy with the experience. The customer service was great! Mr. Otieno was very responsive at all times, night or day. The company is also very flexible and cares for the customers needs. The accommodation and food provided was up to our expectations too! I strongly recommend this tour operator!

Easy and competent safari preparation, friendly staff
Our safari with Instinct Safaris was really excellent, this is why we give 5 stars. From the first day, they answered our questions truthfully and competently. My wife and I are from Zurich in Switzerland and were looking for a safari adventure with the mountain gorillas in Uganda. Even though we contacted multiple companies in the country, Instinct Safaris was our best fit, for sure.

Amazing 9 days safari trip!
We did a 9 day safari and the whole experience is great. The nature and animal kingdom is so different from the society we live in, and it is just amazing. We saw a lot of animals, giraffe, elephants, lions, zebras, and the Seregenti-endless plain is a real experience in Africa! The scenery in Ngorongoro crater is amazing!

Our trip was flawless in every way with diverse experiences from five star safari to tent camping
Communications were timely and very detailed. The service from our initial email contact until the first airport pickup was impeccable. The trip lived up to our expectations and more. Our tour was a mix of a five star private game reserve, to a quiet and upscale riverfront lodging, to tent camping, ending with a stay in a Leading Hotels of the World in Cape Town. We experienced absolutely no problems in services provided from various transportation companies, being met timely, escorted through various customs offices and even a trip by small boat across the river from Zambia to Botswana. We had individual service in all cases and never had to wait for a connecting driver from country to country. I don't know how it all worked out but obviously the planning by Roho Ya Chui made it all come together.

Excellent tour provider
We booked with Right Choice Safaris under two weeks before we were due to travel on our honeymoon. We had previously booked with another company who ceased trading. So we were extremely pleased that Right Choice Safaris were able to get everything organised in a very short time. This took us from being very concerned that our plans for the honeymoon (or at least the safari part of it, which was the main part for us) had all fallen through to being very relieved that we were back on track.
I have to say that George and his team did a wonderful job of arranging a private safari around the dates we had already decided upon, saving us from having to rebook hotels. George was happy to create an itinerary around our requirements for hotel collection and return in Diani.
Their driver and guide Jacob was excellent. He had good knowledge of the animals and birds seen on the safari, also of trees and other vegetation and he explained things in ways which kept us interested. He had a real talent for spotting animals too, even while driving.
All in all, Right Choice Safaris did a brilliant job of arranging everything for us, the driver, vehicle and all accommodation while on the safari (full board). With their help we had the most amazing and enjoyable time. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to safari in East Africa.
