Excellent
Everyone was great. Lucy was good for helping us prepare. Mark took care if our hiccup quickly and smoothly. Simon was the best tour guide. The safari itself was unbelievable and the accommodations above expectations.

Ngorongoro was amazing!
I attended 2 nights 3 days safari tour by myself
Good:
Ngorongoro was amazing! Like a heaven for animals.
I could see all the big 5 and many child animals. They were so cute! and could have a good sleep in an “igloo” but not a tent.
Bad:
Originally I asked a tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro but they could not arrange it on the date I was available. Their alternative offer was 3 days tour in Ngorongoro, lake manyara and Tarangire. I think it was good enough for only one day tour in Ngorongoro because I could see most of the animals there and the rests were much boring.
Other things were: first day, they forgot to prepare my lunch box so I had no lunch. Also every day they arranged different people to share the safari car and when I arrived, the rests were already in the car and I always had to sat in the back sheet so I could not hear what the guide was telling well.

Two great days in Mikumi
We spent two days with Gecko in Mikumi. We had some unforgettable moments with lions and elephants only a couple of meters from the jeep. Our guide was very nice and helpful during the trip. I would definitely travel with Gecko again.

Professional organisation, great communication and the excellent service
The level of service and value for money from Hillman Global was superb. I had various quotes before finding Wilber and none of them were anywhere near as professional as him. He listened to what I wanted and put together a package which suited my needs and budget perfectly. All the information given to me for travel was spot on so I knew exactly what to do and when to do it. I booked the 3 day 2 night Tsavo East / West Safari and from day one it was problem free. The safari lodges, service and safari guide were superb. I would recommend Wilber and Hillman Global Marketing to all of my friends wanting the perfect safari holiday!!

Wonderful safari, great guides, smooth logistics
The responsiveness and attention to detail during the initial planning over email was representative of our experience to come in Africa. Great service, great people, and very organized. Very professional. Highly recommended.
We travelled on a 17 day safari through Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. We were met at the airport in Kenya and taken care of from the beginning. Guides were fun and freindly and spoke English well. In travelling to a new destination every day or two, and navigating through various parks and flights to different countries we always were properly escorted to ensure we arrived were we needed to be. The individual guides catered to our day to day needs and amended our itinerary and schedules to accommodate us.
Levis was patient to answer all of my numerous questions during the planning process and I was pleased to awake every morning is the US to his email to my latest question as he was diligent to respond quickly the same day.
I was a bit nervous to wire funds ahead of time as I wasn't able to find much on Hallmark online, but everything went as well as I could have hoped.

A 'Once in a Lifetime' African Adventure
I'd known about Java Safaris for quite some time, and was dying for an excuse to book a trip through them! Initially I wanted to go to South Africa, but after a little research and recommendation, we ended up at the Victoria Falls, on the Zambian side. (Livingstone) Catherine Lloyd did it all! From the airport transfers to the hotel bookings, including all the necessaries in-between, she carefully ensured that our African Adventure would be effortless all the way. The Royal Livingstone Hotel (Catherine's recommendation) was divine, and perfect for our family's stay. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest Java Safaris to anybody wanting to book an African trip, and in fact, can't wait to plan my next one with them!

Well Planned
I was introduced to Nancy's Company by a fellow couchsurfer and it turned out to be a great option. Nancy communicated with me even before my arrival and made sure I had everything in place. Her along with the wonderful Nelson picked me up from the airport and dropped me at the hotel for a cheaper price than other transfers, She also planned a 4 day 3 Nights Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru Safari for me that was an amazing budget option. The accommodation at Lake Nakuru exceeded my expectations and the camp at Mara was very good too. All the drivers especially Nelson were very friendly, talkative and informative.
I highly recommend Nancy's company to anyone visiting Kenya or Tanzania.

The Adventure of a Life Time!
During my stay in Tanzania I took multiple day trips and a 4 day safari all with Mega Adventures! I loved every minute of our trips. Our 4 day budget safari was incredible. We visited 3 parks, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. We started our trip with a guided walking safari in Tarangire National Park. We were able to see giraffes, elephants, many different types of birds. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all of our questions and identified many different. The food was awesome! Originally having low expectations for quality of food, I was mistaken. Every night we had popcorn, soup, and a full spread of food.
Mega Adventures organized 3 day trips for us. One to Lake Chala where you can go swimming and kayaking all day. The second was a day trip to hike Kili from the Marangu gate. I loved the hike and the guide we had was awesome, knowledgeable and patient. My favorite day trip was to the Materuni waterfalls. Our group spent the day learning how the locals make coffee and utilize the different bananas, we hiked to the waterfalls and went swimming for hours.
You cannot go wrong booking your safari with Mega Adventures! Prices are fair, they are very professional and all accommodating.

It's an adventure that I will never forget
It's a bit scary to travel such a far distance and being out of my element. I was completely vulnerable having put my trust in the hands of Michael. Having said this, Michael is absolutely a trust worthy man. He is a trailblazer and leader. Where many tours were rushing around chasing the pride, Michael, guided us to spots where we enjoyed exclusive experiences with a variety of animals. Nothing can quite explain the thrill of viewing a Cheetah just 10 feet from the Vechicle or observering Elephants feed from the trees. Michael, listens well and helps you decide your agenda before you arrive. The accommodation are top notch, this also depends on what you want. The experience is quite different in the bush than at the Nogorogoro crater lodge. My wife and I traveled in the off season. Sure, it was wet but, we saw plenty of animals and avoided the crowds of tours. Someday, we will return to Africa and I wouldn't hesitate to book a tour with Cape Dog!
