Caring thoughtful service on an adventure of a lifetime
Godson Adventures provided a fantastic safari from start to finish. Godson was flexible and fast to respond to all of our questions from the initial inquiry, graciously supporting us on our Kilimanjaro hike even though we had already chosen another guide company and helping us arrange logistics to Arusha. He was there to pick us up, found us a fantastic place to stay at Mann Peace of Mind Lodge, and covered us with all the gear we did not have.
The safari experience itself was fantastic. Godson is a fantastic guide and driver, knowledgeable about animals and keeping people happy. He was always able to wheedle us into the best spots for viewing, seemingly anticipating the animals moves. And he leveraged his vast experience in the parks to ensure we saw all the animals. Everything was well organized and yet felt entirely easy going and stress free. And the food was fantastic. He catered to all sorts of special needs with aplomb. When he woke up early to drive us to the airport and say farewell, we felt that we left with a true friend in Godson.

Amazing Amazing and successful safari in Uganda
We zeroed on Uganda specifically for the gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest because seeing these amazing relatives in their native environment, so close up is indescribable! At Lake Mburo, cantering through the bush with impala and zebra on the horseback riding safari in lake Mburo national park was very exhilarating! I also included a couple days in other national parks like Murchison falls,Kibale national park and kidepo valley national park. Excellent lodges with nice food and helpful employees.Our driver/guide (Peter) whi accompanied us the entire trip from gorillas,chimpanzee.wildlife,nature and cruising on the nile. He was amazing - very knowledgeable and entertaining. Gecko safaris will always be on our minds.

It couldn't be better
We spent 4 days with Vervet Safari Tour at Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our driver Maulidi was the best we could think of. We found all animals and we always felt secure - whereever we where.
The lodges they booked for us where on outstanding quality ( warm shower, great diner & breakfast choices, electricity and wifi ;-) ). There was truly nothing we missed.
Maulidi, Basili & Nicholas prepared a once in a lifetime trip !!!

What a glorious trip with Katona Tours
My wife and I had a glorious trip with Katona Tours.
Our encounter with the Mountain gorillas will linger in our minds. Elias was so caring and politely attended to our endless requests that were not part of the Trip.
Jackie the owner amazingly replied to all our mails queries.
Hope to use Katona Tours again in future.

Beautiful experience and very expert safari escort!!!!!
We had a wonderful tour in Uganda for 10 days through Africa Adventure Vacations.
Our escort Moses was outstanding, friendly and helping. We moved with our mother who was not in good health conditions but Moses would always do the best for our mother to be happy. Robert planned our vacation so professionally and it allowed us to visit all the big national parks of Uganda and we saw all the animals. The vehicle was spacious for our family and the lodges were good with perfect services, particularly Sambiya River Lodge Murchison Falls, Crater safari lodge Kibale Forest, Gorilla mist lodge and Mihingo lodge. Morning horse riding in the jungle, Chimpanzee and gorilla encounter where my best activities. The combination of wildlife, gorilla tracking and horse riding was so perfect and I confidently recommend Africa Adventure Vacations with Moses as your safari escort.
Great short break to Amboseli National Park
The communications pre and post trip were succinct and sufficiently informative to avoid confusion. Silvester was present at both the pick up and drop off to answer questions and to take feedback.
The tour delivered everything on the trip notes and more. The driver Johnson was informative, good company and flexible in approach. In addition to driving and guiding he conveyed an enthusiasm and knowledge of the park, wildlife and birds. He recommended an amendment to the itinerary on day 2 in order to venture further in to the park and this allowed me to see a greater variety of birds as well as a pride of lions.
I would have no hesitation in booking again with this company and would ask them to price match against similar tours - if they don't have the same advertised tour - they would be open to tailor made trips.

Outstanding safari in evey way
This my 4th safari but my first in Tanzania. I wanted to see the great migration, accomplished that and so much more. The safari vehicle is first class and it needs to be because of the roads. Our driver Thomas was superb, and very knowledgeable about the animals/birds native tribes etc. Easy Travel, especially Geodfrey who set everything up were excellent. Normally on a major trip there are some flaws but this trip went perfectly. My wife was anxious about the tent camps but they are 3 rooms, hot shower, nice beds, flush toilets, and good meals. The people at all the camps were super helpful. We saw the big five and a lots of other animals. The migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras is mind blowing. Don't do the canned "private game reserves" in other countries. There are no fences in the Serengeti for thousands of miles and the animals are free. The Ngorongoro crater area is simply amazing. I visited the Easy Travel office at the end of the safari and can tell you they have a world class operation!

A WONDERFUL COMPANY FOR YOUR TRIP TO AFRICA
My wife and I experienced our first African Safari in May 2018. We are in our seventies and have traveled throughout most of the world. I guess most would consider us experienced and seasoned travelers. My wife would describe me as "not easy to please" so I do not want you, the readers of this review, to judge that everything would seem wonderful to us since this was our first safari. During forty eight years of married travel we have worked with a great number of travel agents, tour operators, guides etc. Some I remember as having done a very good job and some not. The Africa Adventure Company, however, was so outstanding in every way that I thought it important to write this review. We worked with Elena, one of their agents, who actually has family living in Africa. Our itinerary included flying into Johannesburg followed by Victoria Falls, one game camp in Ngoma near Chobe National Park , two game camps in different areas of the Okavango Delta, and ending with four days in Cape Town. Elena talked us out of several hotels we were considering and recommended less expensive ones she believed would be a better fit for us. She also helped with planning and booking the flights, itinerary, game camps, transfers, logistics etc. We could not have been more pleased. Her choices, advice and attention to detail were absolutely perfect and everything up to and including simple pick ups and transfers were flawless. My wife described the entire trip as "seamless" and we credit Elena and the Africa Adventure Company for a most outstanding and enjoyable experience.
