East Africa expedition
We cannot speak highly enough of Jude and her company Masihambe Afrika. This was our 3rd trip on one of Judes tours and we were not disappointed. As always the experiences were varied interesting and great fun. From the lodges we stayed in to the camping by the river at Ruaha National park we enjoyed the variety her tours offer and all under the guidance of experienced guides. Not to mention the game viewing and spectacular scenery that Africa has to offer.We have no hesitation in recommending Masihambe Tours to anyone.

very good safari company
I have used Umubano tours for a short gorilla tracking last May. They offered me a very good service and felt completely safe and taken care of. Herbert the owner is a very kind person, and has a deep knowledge of the area and on the gorillas. I would recommend to anyone to use them when traveling to Rwanda.

Expert photography Holiday!
Trip with Dick is a lifetime one! Watching the wildlife migration was an extra ordinary one. Dick observes the concept of conserving the wildlife for the future. I would recommend him to every armature or expert photographer visiting East Africa.

Perfect 4 Day, 3 Night: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara
While working in Northwest Tanzania during the summer of 2012, I began to look for options to tour the northern safari circuit from the west side of the Serengeti. Victor (owner of Vic Consult) was very responsive and worked quickly to help assemble a budget camping safari itinerary for 5 of us.
Because we were already in Tanzania, getting money to Victor was an issue for us. I imagine that some companies would not have the patience to handle such a short notice, difficult group, but Victor was patient and able to make everything work out. Vic Consult arranged to meet us at the gate of the park and Victor came to assure that all park fees and permits were handled with no issues. Victor then came on the trip with us to make sure things went well for the remainder of our safari.
Our driver, Jokta, was knowledgeable about the animals and had apparently been a ranger in a different park. Patrick, our cook, was phenomenal and made meal time one of our favorite parts of the day. We were on time (except when we stayed out a little extra on game drives) and both Patrick and Jokta were great guys and we enjoyed traveling with them and Victor. We did get a chance to meet another of Vic Consult's drivers and another cook who were very nice as well. This other driver was even fluent in Spanish.
During our trip, we saw all of the animals and sights we had hoped to. We saw four of the big five; elephants in all three parks, lions in all three parks, buffalo in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and black rhino in Ngorongoro (we only spent about one day in the Serengeti, so no leopard). We even got to see the tree climbing lions in Manyara and a cheetah in the Ngorongoro crater. The sunrise drive in Seronera was also beautiful, we got to see hippos out of the water, another first for me.
I would absolutely recommend Vic Consult for safaris out of Mwanza. I wish I had been able to stay in Mwanza the night before the start of our trip and I will next time I am in Tanzania. When you meet Victor, get to know him a little. It's a small company he started himself and it really shows how much he cares about Vic Consult and really loves the national parks.

Great experience
In one word - Amazing! We started in Kampala and headed to Bwindi, we saw the Gorillas along with other small primates, it was spectacular to see the Gorillas so close.. After Bwindi we journeyed to Queen Elizabeth where we saw lots of Lions and hippos! Loved the accommodations, felt like we were taken care of in every way. A trip of a lifetime and all arranged by the caring staff at Budget Safaris. They asked what we wanted to do, listened to all our requests and made it happen for us. Such a smooth trip from start to finish.....

A brilliant introduction to Africa
I was lucky enough to go to Namibia with Masihambe Afrika and I loved every minute of it.
The accommodation and meals were way beyond what I expected. Wonderful.
The tour was diverse, well planned and a lot of fun.
Namibia is spectacular.
I am going on another of their tours next year - already booked.

Fantastic personal service!
This was our 6th trip to Tanzania and our second time with Zed Safaris. We had previously taken part in a group tour booked through them which had gone without a hitch. We therefore approached Zed for our individual tour with a driver. The attention to detail in the planning phase with an eye on the costs was great and communication was prompt and to the point.
Everything went smoothly from the moment we arrived in Dar Es Salaam. Fantastic knowledgeable (and safe) driver, very comfortable vehicle, always sufficient soft drinks on board, great choice of accommodation and a route that surpassed our expectations. Best of all the loan of a local pre-paid mobile phone by Zed Safaris which helped us enormously because coming from Europe our mobile phones wouldn't work.
We had an amazing vacation thanks to a 5 star service by Zed Safaris!

Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda
We went with Umubano Tours for our Rwanda Gorilla Trek. They were absolutely wonderful! Our guide, John Bosco was a delight - as was the owner, Herbert.
They came highly recommended from a friend who used them a year earlier. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others without hesitation.
