Awesome gorilla experience!
Encounter africa were so good to deal with, arranging transfers to the mountains from Kampala was easy and Joseph, our driver/guide was awesome- he even came to our hostel the night before we were leaving just to check on us and make sure everything was ok. Joseph was lots of fun but also looked after us, getting us an upgrade at Lake bunyoni to the birds nest hotel (which is amazing) and also speaking to the gorilla trekkers to get them to take us to his favorite gorilla group. Actually seeing the gorillas is difficult to describe- there are less than 900 left and seeing them in their forest is truly incredible. My wife cried for 20 minutes when we first saw them because theyre such gentle, beautiful creatures. So highly recommended. Only thing to work on is that the system for international payments is a bit cumbersome - being able to pay by PayPal would be a big improvement. Thanks encounter africa and thank you so much Joseph!

Superb Safari experience to the Amboseli National Park courtesy of Schon Kenya Tours and Safaris
Excellent and professional client service from the very start. I got the best package I could wish for from Schon Kenya Tours and safaris that was able to fit my budget. The 3 day Safari to the Amboseli National Park together with my partner and kids lived up to our expectation and I do recommend the company to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. Thanks a lot Schon Kenya Tours and safaris! Asante!
Claudia was very helpful and straight forward. She was honest and easy to deal with.
Communication was excellent. I only hired a 4x4 from her at short notice. It was much cheaper than doing so from the airport. There was an issue with the battery on the car but it wasabi punster and a replacement provided. I will contact Claudia again to see about using their company to assist with climbing on Mount Kenya when it is the correct season. I have no hesitation in recommending contacting Claudia at the company to assist with a visit to Kenya. She is flexible and will just give you what you are looking for.

An exclusive tour with an exceptional company!
Dionis Kessey of Bushtrekker Safaris arranged a once in a lifetime excursion through some of the most outstanding wildlife parks in the world. We wanted a safari that included Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire, 5-7 days in length, good accommodation and was reasonably priced. He delivered on all counts. I did a lot of research and what Bushtrekker offered was a full six day safari that delivered MORE at a cost well below the competition. I noticed that many other companies offered tours of shorter duration, (some calling it 6 days even when there was only 4 nights of accommodation included), with fewer parks, with only regular or budget accommodation and still at a price well above what we paid. With the possibility of rains (April), we stayed in the best luxury lodges every night with excellent meals included.
As for the time spent on safari, we were escorted by an extraordinary driver and certificated & qualified guide named Wilberd. He was very personable with a great sense of humour, accommodating with attention to detail or any concern we had, and was an extremely competent & careful driver as well. He was very knowledgeable and knew the locations for the greatest likelihood of finding wildlife, as well as being in constant contact with other drivers who all worked cooperatively to ensure the best viewing opportunities for their clients. Between the varied wildlife, the flowers, trees and the astounding landscapes, we saw virtually everything the parks had to offer. He loved his work and it showed. It was a distinct pleasure to be escorted by Wilberd on this safari.
I would also like to commend the Tanzanian Tourist Organization on the quality and maintenance of the parks and conservation areas. The day sites and facilities for tourists were well maintained and updated. Quite impressive.
Finally, I have no reservations in recommending Bushtrekker's Safaris to you for the outstanding quality and attention to detail that was obvious in every aspect of our tour. You could not go wrong in booking with this company.

Everything we had asked for and more - excellent.
This is a small, personal and thoroughly professional outfit that spent hours answering questions and tailoring our holiday to fulfill our dreams. We asked for and took advice on everything from where and when to go to what to pack. We saw it all and the handovers (we added Rwanda and its must see gorillas and a few days on Zanzibar) were clockwork perfect. Thoroughly expert guides, great, varied accommodation all contributed to a perfect holiday.
Dont think about it - do it!

Great Time in Uganda with Realm Africa Safaris
Very professional service, rapid response to my requests prior to my trip. The guide was at the airport at the expected time, very friendly and professional. He was great at spotting animals, knowledgeable about his country, and good company.
The company knew what was going on on the ground (i.e. that the ferry at Murchinson Fall was being serviced during my trip) and kept in regular contact with the guide.
An overall very pleasant experience and I can highly recommend Realm Africa Safaris.

The best Tour Operator ever found in my life
Since the very beginning and till the end of our contacts, I have always been enthusiast about their professionalism and kindness. I refer in particular to Allison's assistance. I think (and I do not exaggerate) they are the best tour operator I ever had the pleasure to deal with.
They were quick, efficient, and I received more info from them than I could ever have expected. Lonely Planet states they are the best TO in Namibia... they are absolutely right. And not only in Namibia... many TO in Europe should learn a lot from them... I don't really see how they could improve further.
