Incredible Safari!
In January I went on a 7-day safari trip with Karibu Safaris and it was absolutely amazing. 'Karibu' means welcome in Swahili and the company definitely lives up to its name. They hold customer service in high regard which was noticeable both before arriving and also during my stay in Kenya. For instance, Robert was always quick to reply to any questions via e-mail and on my last day I had a very late flight back so they let me stay at their office for a while and even provided my dinner.
When it comes to the safari itself, Karibu absolutely delivered. My tour-guide, named 'Animal', was phenomenal. He was a safe driver in and out of the parks, he knew funny and interesting stories about every single animal and he was very good at spotting them as well. Moreover, when I was feeling a bit ill he took very good care of me and made sure I got the right medication and the proper food.
Overall I had an absolute blast and Karibu provided me with a great safari experience in Kenya

Asante sana!
The safari with Taste of Afrika was the highlight of my holidays!
I was very well advised to plan this trip regarding my interests. Apart from Cheetahs I could see all (!) of the animals I dreamt about to see in live ;-)
Seka and his team are very welcoming.
Hopefully I will come back soon, booking then a kilimanjaro trekking tour.
Thank you so much!

Helped out with all details and met us at airport
Safari was "out of this world" everything was top notch better than expected, our guide "John" was extremely informative and had a good sense of humor
Fantastic 4-day private safari
We did a 4-day private safari with Bestday Safaris in December 2016. We created our own itinerary in terms of the parks we wanted to visit (wanted to spend more time in Serengeti than most safaris offer) and Peter (the owner) has agreed to go with it and booked us lodges to fit with the itinerary.
Peter has been great during the preparation process: replying very promptly to all our queries and giving us very good advice along the way.
We arrived in Arusha in the afternoon and were going to leave for the safari the next morning. Peter came to our hotel for the briefing in the afternoon and then again in the morning, to introduce us to the driver and make sure everything is ok. On our return, Peter met us again and asked us how the safari was.
The safari itself was great. The driver (Six) was very knowledgeable and we had no problem arranging little (yet important) things with him, such as an early start, a short lunch break etc. He was amazing at finding animals, at telling us about their habits and at using his experience to know when to wait for something interesting.
Lodges that Peter booked were great as well.
All in all, a fantastic experience!

Saw it all in one visit!
This was perhaps the best holiday my wife and I have been on. It was made extra special by the crew that hosted us. They were not distant, they encouraged us to ask questions as they parted their great knowledge on to us. Not knowing what to expect or see, we saw all the big five during our time on safari.
At no stage did we fell in danger or unwelcomed. The communication between us and the guides was great and clear to understand. This trip and company I would recommend to anyone.

The art of organizing chaos !
When you visit Africa, you have to be aware that it is somewhat chaotic. Nothing is ever perfect, but East African Voyage has the experience, the knowledge and the staff to not only organize that chaos, but make your trip an unforgettable experience. Everywhere we went the employees were professional, courteous and always on-hand to make us feel comfortable. They would go out of their way to cater to all of our needs and requests, even the last minute ones. The means of transportation (Land Rovers for the most part) were impeccably clean and in perfect condition. All our lodging were unique, comfortable and filled with fun discoveries. Again, the staff everywhere we stayed was friendly and always willing to help. If Tanzania and Zanzibar are places you want to discover, there are no better company then East African Voyage to organize your journey !

I will be back!
Have had such nice experience during last years safari celebrating my birthday! It was a private tour for four people. South west Uganda, Lk Mburo, Bushara island, Gorilla trekking, QENP, Murchison falls and some more. Had a first smaller safari with a group of 15 people in 2011 combining Uganda Tanzania, so this will be third time returning. Am right now planning a trip late december 2017 with my teenage kids and mother. Really looking forward to it and can warmly recommend Mamaland Safaris!

Exceptional Experience Start to Finish
The trip to Rwanda and Kenya was exceptionally well prepared and executed. The staff at Extraordinary Journeys has direct hands-on relationships with local guides and tour operators providing the most VIP experiences for customers. The pre-departure call was critical and every detail is reviewed: air, hotels, itinerary, add-on experiences... everything! The quality of service is the highest I have received and therefore the safari itself was beyond my best expectations. The guides (Anderson in Kigali, Loyce at the Rwandan gorillas, Gladys at Mara North Conservancy) were the best. The timing was perfect: exactly the right amount of time for each experience. 100% satisfied!!

Great experience!
We had a great time in Rwanda and Congo, the experience of the Lava lake in Congo was amazing, breathtaking view! a once in a lifetime experience! Same for the gorillias.
A bit of a challenge for the trekking when not use to altitude-so be ready- but definitely worth it!
The gorillia experience was one our favorite, we really enjoyed it and the information provided by the national park guide were really interesting.
The genocide memorial in Kigali was a must see to understand what happened in Rwanda.
The lodge was good, they get local products (and that is good) and they did their best with what is available on the spot and to please you.
Banabas our guide was really dedicated to us and especially on our safety, making his best for making everything happen in the best way. we would definitely recommend him, very nice , interesting and pleasant guy.
The vehicule was very good, well maintained ,adapted and comfortable.
We really appreciated the community walk close by the lodge .

All details perfect planned, great customer service
People in this company get our trust by their professional approach. Whole service was great! They take care of us before safari, during the fantastic adventure and also after. I could see that our feedback was important as well as our satisfaction. I really recommend :)
