Ruaha National Park, the best hidden secret
After several safaris in Kenia and Uganda, we decided to go to Southern Tanzania to visit the still unspoiled Selous and Ruaha parks. Ruaha National Park is a beauty. From the landing at the airstrip, you see elephants, zebra, giraffe,... This park is totally uncrowded, you can drive around for several hours without seeing another vehicle. Wildlife is therefore not disturbed by jeeps and is very relaxed. We saw at least 12 lions (even up to 10m), cheeta, leopard, and of course dozens of elephants and hippos. Ruaha is a must for game drive lovers... We stayed outside the park at Tandala Tented Camp. A beauty...very comfortable tents, great bar, excellent food, very friendly staff. Masai protect you as wildlife come into the camp and every evening many elephants come to the waterhole in the camp.
Excellent Safari!
Really enjoyed our safari. Stanley was an excellent guide who helped us interface with animals, culture, and history; Buri not only fed us delicious traditional dishes (loved the machalari) but also was great company. Camping was a lot of fun, and our group was great too.

The Trip of a Lifetime
I don't even know where to start!!!!!! It was simply "all that and MORE". Started with my initial contact with Robert. He always responded promptly and never tired of the one million questions I asked starting a year before the trip! Thank you Robert - Second, because we were 3 women traveling along, safety and security were of concern to us. Robert gave us assurances about many things, BUT the BEST THING he did, was give us MUTEMI!!!! THE BEST GUIDE/DRIVER in Africa!!!! I can't say enough about how wonderful he was. Knows so much about all the animals, the land, the roads, the lodges. He even put up with 3 very talkative, excitable ladies for 7 seven days!!!! Without ever being anything but nice, respectful, courteous and funny!!!! The vehicle was great, all the camps we stayed in were perfect and were all Robert & Mutemi's recommendations. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara. We saw the BIG FIVE in the first 3 days of the trip!!! We also so a Wildebeast Crossing the Mara that was magnificant! Go Kenya provided us the trip of a lifetime from the first late night at the airport meeting until the day we were dropped at the airport headed for home. Thank You Robert & Mutemi!

awesome safari at Mikumi NP with Hello Tanzania
We had a great safari with our driver/guide Beni, who made our trip unforgettable. Mwajabu, the tour operator, helped us a lot with preparing the trip and she answered all our questions. Unfortunately the drinks during dinner at the lodge were not included, what we didn't know before.
All in all the safari trip was really great and we would recommend Hello Tanzania to everyone.

Great experience
A fantastic trip, well suited for us as a family. This is the first time we have ever travelled on an arranged holiday, previously having organised trips ourselves. However, with a safari being outside of our experience, we adopted this approach and it worked very well. We would definitely recommend Safarihub to our friends

A great moment!
We spent 11 days with Sage and Kabi from Maun to Kasane. The perfect thing was that we were just two of us! That was an amazing experience in term of wildlife and landscapes. Botswana is definitely beautiful.
Sage is a really nice guy and an experienced guide. Both of them are from the area and have a deep knowledge of the animals and the culture (even the paths, which is really important to catch lions, leopards...).
The campsite was really well organized and the food was great.
My wife and I had a really really good time there and we are starting to organize with friends of us a trip in Kalahari.
Tips: with you can, ask for "a private trip" or with few people. The car was made for ten people and I guess that could be less interesting with a crowd!

Great safari and wonderful time with KWSS
We choose this company because they have very good reviews on the Internet and I can only say that Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris was the best choice I and my friend made.
They gave us more than we expected!!!!!.
The hotel in which we spend first night was really nice and clean. Even the tent had a toilet and shower inside. What is more, we had private driver and private cook. That was a huge surprise to us. The food was healthy and delicious. And the most important thing we didn’t have any problems with stomach so the pills we took were unnecessary. The driver was very patient when we were taking pictures during the safari and he tried hard to be very close to the animals. Mr Otieno and other members of stuff took a good care of us. I felt really safe with them. We had no problems with the communication. They were always on time.
KWSS is a trustworthy company!
Not only they picked up us from the airport, but they were also so kindly that they dropped us off to our friend in Nairobi and the next day they dropped us off to the airport.
I highly recommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. If I come back to Africa, I will ask KWSS to organize me a trip.
KWSS thanks for great time!

Adventure filled Safari
An absolutely fantastic safari trip! Nik was the best guide a tour group could have. A very organized and friendly company. Very responsive to requests and a staff that was easy to work with. A great safari, lots of animals to be seen, and would do it again tomorrow!

Honeymoon heaven!
I'm so pleased we booked with the luxury safari company. From the onset Rose replied extremely quickly to all emails and queries regarding our honeymoon. She managed to put together an amazing package which suited us perfectly. We were treated like royalty at amara selous - the staff there are so friendly and it made the start of our honeymoon truly fantastic. We then went on to shooting star lodge in Zanzibar for some r & r. I would highly recommend Rose and her team to anyone looking to book a safari their expertise in this field is incomparable.

Gorilla treck in Rwanda
From the minute we were picked up at the airport, our guide was an amazing host, always informative and patient and he gave us a really interesting tour of Kigali and the Rwandan countryside. The gorilla trek itself was a once in a lifetime experience and very highly recommendable and the hotels and extras proposed by Encounter Africa Safaris were perfect.
