Review about Zambia by West Tribe
1) Highly accessible (English is the main language), prices are affordable, the local transit (while a little chaotic) is easily utilized, locals are generally friendly and helpful
2) Safe, there was never any sense of risk that I experienced in Lusaka, Livingstone, Kasanka or Mfuwe. Police are corrupt but not so much so that I had to pay for, or herd of people being harassed for bribes.
3) Amazing sights and activities, my personal highlights included swimming at the edge of Victoria Falls, while little fish nibbled the dead skin off my body like some Vietnamese spa, watching up to 10,000,000 fruits bats take off from the canopy in Kasanka National Park, rafting down the Zambezi and a seemingly endless number of great sights in South Luangwa.

Review about Tanzania by Enrico
There's nothing better. Great photography, great people, great food.
A unique experience for the adventure traveler
We absolutely loved bouncing around Uganda with Kombi tours. The staff was more than accommodating and highly responsive - before, during and after our trip. Had a great time!

Review about Zimbabwe by BrianIron
Our only experience is Hwange NP and Vic Falls, but both of these were excellent and I understand the guiding to be of high quality throughout the country.

A precious experience!
The Safari tour with Afrishare was one of the most memorable experience for me. I went to 3 days Safari tour in May with my friend. Although we booked the tour a week before departure, Ibrah, the owner of this wonderful organisation, arranged the accommodations, a driver etc. perfectly for us. We stayed at Afrishare's volunteer house on the day we arrived at Moshi and the day we got back from Safaris. They provided us a nice room as well as great meals. In the tour, we visited three National Parks: Lake Manyara; Ngorongoro; and Tarangire. Each of the parks gives you different impressions, and you will not get bored at all! Our driver took care of us all the time in spite of long drive, and he taught us many things about the Maasai cultures, wild animals and so on. We stayed at a lodge near Safari which was also comfortable with delicious meals.
Afrishare gave us an amazing experience with surprisingly cheap price and I would definitely recommend Afrishare for all the people seeking to visit Tanzania for Safaris!

unexpected good experiences
We are a French family and four years ago, my husband and I wanted to go on a trip to Kenya with our 3 children; 6/12/15 years old.
We decided to contact about a dozen of African tour guides and we sent them our tour plan. When we received their answers it was easy for us to choose Isaac.
Before meeting him in Africa we only sent few emails to each other and we trust him right away .So we planned together a nice tour in Kenya for a fortnight.
Isaac asked us what we most wished to see in Kenya and he asks for our likes. He took particularly care of our young daughter and he considered carefully our expectations and our limited budget.
During our tour, he was very helpful and he showed us a lot of things and he was full of surprises during the day as at night....
For example, when we discovered for the first time Kakamega Forest or Masai Mara we had a FANTASTIC ADVENTURE.
He was very skilful, he could see animals from a long distance or even if they were hiding in the jungle and he could spot their presence from their smell or their tracks.
He shared with us his knowledge of many animals life’s like birds, mammals, insects etc...
We also admire his commitment to the presentation of natural environment; we like his engagement with local communities to inform them about pollution risks. He is always trying to find a pacific solution to protect nature from intensive farming.
We also share some fabulous moments with many different African people: for example we played a volleyball match with a group of African teenagers, we went to African hairdressers with my daughter, we visited a nice young couple and their new baby at their little house made of cow dung, we visited rice and tea cooperatives and we especially enjoyed the walk and the safari with Masai community.
In conclusion, we were happy to be guided by him and we recommend him to anyone who wishes to visit Kenya or other countries.
Isaac is more than a fantastic and creative and engaged tour guide, he became a friend of all my family and he helped us to give a new sense to our life:
My son Yann, 19 years old, is studying class to become a veterinary in Africa. ...Good way for him...
My son Alexis, 16 years old, is opening his mind and he wishes to find a job that allows him to travel around the world.
My daughter Lylou, 10 years old, hopes to see Isaac again.
My husband discovered a new way of building houses.
And I enjoyed creating my photo book of that wonderful life experience and I always dream of discovering different parts of the world with my husband, my family and Isaac.
