Fantastic trip
Climbed Kili via the Western Breach in early 2016. Trekili guides and staff were very professional and responsive to their clients. They far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them if you are thinking about Kili or any other mountain in Kenya/Tanzania.

I went to Mara with them and it was superb. The driver was well informed I can say that value for money. Thanks for your service

Excellent organisation, planning and support throughout our trip : )
All our requirements were fulfilled by Trekili. We wanted a personalised itinerary and this was delivered allowing us to accomplish all our 'must do' items. This included summiting Kilimanjaro, a Safari trip to Ngorongoro Crater and climbing Loolmalasin - third highest mountain in Tanzania. All arrangements were put in place by Trekili prior to arrival in Tanzania and our guides, drivers, porters, cooks did everything they could to ensure our trip was a success. Would highly recommend Trekili Eco Expeditions
Cardboard Box was recommended to us, we left it to them, we rate their service very highly
We have absolutely no complaints - Lily did a great job - there was one last minute hitch but she went out of her way to sort it out. We were 2 couples travelling in a single car, and had a wonderful time together and agreed that we would not have had nearly as nice a time if we had arranged it ourselves which was my original intention.

Superb personalized experience.
Service was excellent and the tour did match my expectation though I did not see plenty of wild life this time. Probably due to the month which I selected. The big cats were mostly lazing around whenever seen.
The guide was very enthusiastic, very communicative and proactive.
I loved every moment of this safari tour.
Communication with the safari tour company was sometimes difficult probably due to connectivity but response on mail was prompt.

5 day Kruger Park trip a great success that exceeded our expectations
The company was flexible when accommodating our dates and locations, made all the arrangements and connections, tours etc. were on schedule. It would have been nice to have a little more details about where we would be staying and what the experience would be like before the trip. Transport outside the park was very good and all the drivers exceptional - Jojo in particular deserves a mention as we learnt so much from him. Accommodations in the park at Skukuza were better than expected, air-conditioning a real treat and maid service tremendous. Outlook was the local operator and provided a well planned itinerary with enough options to give some flexibility. We were very lucky with all our game drives and wide variety of animals we saw, including rare wild dogs and a leopard.

Great experience for 2 days in Mikumi.
I choose Selous due to their great reviews and can only confirm. Upfront communication with Norbert was perfect, any question was answered fully. The pick up was on time, very kind driver Sajjid. Then after the nice lunch in Morogoro, we proceeded to the park. It was great, with only two cars in the entire park and we had our private safari. Our driver was excellent. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He brought us to the most remote corners of the park in order to ensure that all animals are seen by us - which happened. Next morning we were picked up very early to enjoy the sunrise. Again, a great day on safari. Afternoon the ride back to DES. Overall great experience and very happy with the service. Thanks Selous Explorers.

Everything good except...
I knew before coming that this very short package (3 days including transfers) would not satisfy my expectations from a safari tour. But wanted to have an experience to be able to know what to choose, what to bring, etc for the next time that I plan to be at last a week. The trip served the objective.
It's not a joke, it's a safari with big five and lots of wild animals. very friendly staff. Good facilities.
Unfortunately when it comes to information and communication with organizers on the field it is very poor.
The reception doesn't know when the drive starts, from where you will be picked by the driver, even what time you have to leave.
No decent plan of the premises exists so after dark it is only by chance to find your bungalow.

The Perfect Safari with At Close Quarters!
It has always been a dream of mine to visit the Sabi Sands.
I chose to go with the At Close Quarters team as they have a most respectable reputation of being exceptional hosts and getting the best sightings for their guests.
As I am a keen wildlife photographer I knew that joining them on one of their trips would be worth it.
And boy did they deliver!
We were royally treated to breathtaking sights to photograph. 20 Minutes into our first drive we saw a most beautiful leopard female! A perfect start! Before we knew it, we had seen the Big 5 within an hour and I couldn't be more thrilled!
Exquisite cuisines, luxurious and spacious accommodation at the stunning Djuma Lodge, and incredible hosting from the team all formed part of a most memorable 4 nights.
I can highly recommend this trip to every single wildlife photographer, and 7 of my friends have already booked with myself for the next trip in August 2016!!
I can't wait to be back at Djuma and I am counting down the days to do it all over again!
