Awesome trip
Along with family and friends we visited the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, then had a week in Zanzibar at the RIU palace hotel in Nungwi, the whole trip was amazing and the safari was unbelievable. Lucas our driver and guide was the best you could have. Outstanding guide and friend. Thank you Sikujua. Your admin and advice was fantastic.

Review about Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve by Ben Johnson
Sabi Sand was incredible and the better of the two reserves we went to from a wildlife and game drive perspective. It felt like at every turn there was the next incredible thing to see!

Review about Timbavati Private Nature Reserve by Ben Johnson
Timbavati was fantastic from an accommodation and guest experience, however the animal population felt much more sparse than at Sabi Sand. Overall still a great experience and I would love to go back.

The Wilde-Best Tour Guide and an Awesome Safari Experience: Thank You, Lindo Travels!
I don't usually write reviews, but I had to make an exception for our incredible tour guide, Stephan. He completely wowed me with his professionalism and expertise during our safari with Lindo Travels.
The first thing that stood out about Stephan was how well-prepared he was. Lindo Travels takes great care in maintaining and checking their vehicles and equipment. Additionally, Stephan had such an in-depth knowledge of the vehicle that he was even assisting tour guides from other companies whose cars had broken down.
What also sets Stephan apart is his remarkable ability to navigate the parks. These parks are vast, but he never used a map and always got us to where we needed to go on time. His skills didn’t stop there—his talent for spotting animals was amazing, and his extensive knowledge of each one we saw made the experience both fun and informative. Let's be honest—we go on safaris to see the animals, and my family and I weren't the best at spotting them ourselves. Stephan's keen eye and insights made all the difference.
Lastly, I was thoroughly impressed by Stephan’s sense of caution. He perfectly balanced being adventurous while also ensuring our safety. He never put us, or let us put ourselves, in any situation that could cause harm to us or the animals.
Stephan's expertise, and the preparedness of Lindo Travels created a safe environment where we, as tourists, never once worried about anything and could focus entirely on having fun. And fun we had—an absolute blast! If you're considering a safari, I highly recommend Stephan and Lindo Travels.

Incredibly attentive
I did the Murchison / Kidepo Tour and the Chimp Habituation Tour, and ultimately, I had a great experience. Albert was my tour guide, and he was incredibly attentive when it came to answering my questions and ensuring the trip was to my expectations. He really did go above and beyond to make it a fantastic adventure, and also to tailor it to my interests (I'm always keen to try local foods, and Albert made a point of taking me to decent local spots).
Even when nature or circumstance worked against us, Albert looked for solutions:
Example 1: when the weather threw a wrench into the Kidepo program, making it difficult to do several of the activities, Albert worked with me to find equivalent activities using the time available. Though there was a very small increase in cost related to one of the activities, Albert generously split the cost with me.
Example 2: we just missed the cut-off for the 1st night game drive at Murchison Falls due to an unexpected road closure, so Albert quickly got on the phone and set it up for the following night without issue.
We used two different vehicles for the two different tours and both vehicles were clean and well-maintained. The accommodation lined up was perfect (room, food, staff all first class). All the details were planned in advanced, and Albert was flexible when needed. Albert's advice regarding local customs (including tipping) was very useful. Albert was also very informative when it came to learning about Uganda and its traditions, laws, wildlife and culture, which made for great entertainment.
There weren't really any negatives. In Kidepo, we didn't spot any big cats, but the landscape and other wildlife still made it a very enjoyable experience. I think the only activity I would have passed on, in hindsight, is the boat at Murchison Falls (I think another game drive would have better suited me), BUT if you're keen to see hippos and Nile crocs then it shouldn't be missed (and there were plenty of people on the boat that were having a blast).
Conclusion, I highly recommend Alboyd Tours and Travel and won't hesitate to use them again on my next Ugandan adventure.

Unforgettable experience
A magical experience! We highly recommend this agency, made up of young and reliable people. Throughout the entire planning of our safari, we were closely assisted by Winnie, who was always available to clarify any doubts and fulfill all our requests.
The safari was unforgettable: the drivers and guides were extremely professional, yet also friendly, sociable, and fun. A special thanks goes to Isaya, a young man who loves his job, is ambitious, and full of energy. The driver Jackson was also a great support.
Choose this agency, and you won't regret it!

Great Tanzanian Tour!
Spent 6 days with Abdul from Serengeti Clarity for the Tanzanian portion of a Kenya-Tanzania itinerary and it was fantastic.
For context - I planned my entire route (including accommodation selection) with another Kenya-based company who then selected Clarity for the Tanzania portion, so I did not have any direct contact or planning with SC before the trip and didn't even know I'd be with them until I met Abdul at the border - but it was a great time.
My itinerary in Tanzania was:
Day 1: pickup at the border, drive to Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti Game Drive (with a wildebeest migration river crossing!)
Day 2: Northern to Central Serengeti and Central Serengeti Game Drive
Day 3: Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro, and Ngorongoro Crater game drive
Day 4: Ngorongoro to Tarangire, and Tarangire game drive
Day 5: Tarangire bush walk and game drive, and travel to Moshi
Day 6: Kilimanjaro day hike and flight from Kilimanjaro to Nairobi
Abdul is a great guide - friendly, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and a good driver. We followed the planned itinerary quite closely, with (agreed) deviations only in some of the smaller details - but he maintained some flexibility so that we could tweak things as the days went on.
The car was (predictably) a land cruiser and had charging / power outlets onboard which was nice to have - otherwise a fairly standard Safari 4x4
I had a great trip in Tanzania with Abdul, full of amazing experiences, photos, and memories, and would gladly do it again / recommend it!

Akoms Safaris is just exceptional and felt very special and safe with everyone from Akoms safaris.

Best Namibia memories guaranteed by People's Tour & Safaris
I visited Namibia this August 2024 as a solo traveller. Overall, what i've had with People's Tour & Safaris was nothing but an excellent tour experience that i would take with me forever. The famous wonders of Namibia were made even more meaningful and magical with my tour guide's knowledge, passion and positivity. My guide, Shalongo/Luke, is indeed well-educated in terms of the sites and attractions we have visited, and you would surely go home with new knowledge about the country's geography, people and culture. He also made sure that the trip was fun and interactive, and he was always on the lookout for my satisfaction, well-being and safety. My guide knows the best corners & spots where to take photos and videos and was genuinely cooperative and patient when comes to my requests using my personal phone. I will definitely recommend People's Tour & Safaris to my relatives and friends to guarantee the best experience and memories in their visit to Namibia.
