Awesome!
I and my friends had a fabulous and memorable 7-day Safari trip with African Big Cats Safaris. We were impressed on how smooth the whole process flowed. We were able to see the big 5 (black rhino from in Serengeti which is very rare!) and even witness lions eating prey, lions milking, and elephant chasing lions. Our guide Endeni is very knowledgeable in animal behavior and patient in answering all the questions, professional in dealing with tricky road condition / time planning, taking care of us throughout the trip caring our needs,and very humorous bringing us a lot of joy. He also has sharp eyesight that helps in spotting animals fast! Thank you, African Big Cats Safaris, for this wonderful journey that will last in our lifetime memory :)

Enjoyable safari with good food & accommodation and a good guide!
Overall, we had a good time. Though on the first day before the safari started the Organisation had some struggles with picking up the guests. We had to wait for almost an hour for our pick up and it seems like the other guests had similar issues. Apart from that the Organisation and the whole safari worked out perfectly. We also got picked up from the airport and brought back to the airport 2 days after the end of the safari.
We stayed in mid-range lodges, which we enjoyed!

Life Change Experience
The best tailor-made travel agency in the world that can accommodate any schedule. Not only did we do safaris, but we also got to see African culture and business situations.
There is no other travel agency like this. Also, all the staff are polite and full of hospitality. In particular, our driver George was wonderful. If you are traveling in Africa, this is definitely the place to go.

It's the best
**10 Reasons to Choose Only One Africa**
1. While it’s important where you travel, it’s even more important who you travel with. Once you experience a trip with an Only One Africa guide, you won't be able to join other tours.
2. Even without asking, services that will delight you are everywhere. Be careful if you don’t want to be pleasantly surprised!
3. Only One doesn’t offer services in every country. Since they can’t arrange all your future trips, once you experience Only One, your travel destinations might feel limited. However, if you consult with them, they seem to be able to work something out anywhere.☆
4. Many people may feel anxious about food in Africa, but after using Only One Africa, somehow I ended up gaining weight. If you're concerned about dieting, be careful.
5. It's so much fun that some people might want to extend their stay because they won’t want to leave! The impact on your life after the trip could be huge.
6. The trip is so intense that your memory storage might run out. You may find yourself with few memories of life before the trip!
7. The service level is so high that someone like me, an ordinary person, ends up feeling a bit guilty for being treated so well. If you're self-deprecating, be cautious.
8. Once you’ve experienced an Only One tour, even if you want to choose a cheap tour just for budget reasons, you won’t be able to. Your wallet will feel the pain.
9. If your budget is tight, you’ll feel like consulting Only One and changing your destination rather than compromising on the experience. The purpose of the trip changes from "where to go" to "who arranges it for you."
10. In the end, thanks to Only One, my entire travel experience has completely changed. Now, I work hard just to enjoy another one-of-a-kind luxury experience!

Natasha was fantastic!
It's been a few months since we were in East Africa and I have to say it was amazing, we had a great experience and my kids are still saying it was a trip of a lifetime! I would highly recommend your service and agency for getting us set up and your patience with me over the weeks to get everything scheduled. Thank you again for everything and Take Care!

Remarkable Adventure: 7-Day Safari with Jocky
My 7-day safari with Jocky in Kenya was absolutely amazing! We explored Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Our guide, Papa, was awesome. He knew so much about the animals and exactly where to find them. Thanks to him, we saw everything, from lions and elephants to the rare black and white rhinos. The highlight was definitely spotting a leopard, which Papa worked so hard to track down for us.
Even during the long drives between places, Papa kept us entertained with cool stories about Kenya’s history, culture, and wildlife. He made sure we were comfortable, with great meals and accommodations every night.
If you're thinking about a safari in Kenya, I highly recommend Jocky. This trip was truly remarkable!

What an incredible experience
We only had four days in Uganda and Dikson and Abia arranged everything so we could seize as much time as possible. Both of them are really kind and passionate and we could notice how much they love what they do. Our main goal was to see gorillas so they organized everything for us. We went into Bwindi Forest and did a hike to see gorillas in their natural habitat. What an incredible experience!

Not so good
We booked a 5-day Safari between Tsavo East-West, Taita and Amboselli. The quality of the facilities is very good however the time spent on the Safaris was very little (in fact we saw very few animals). Much of the tour was spent in moving from one park to another. We usually arrived at the lodge to check in around 12 noon and the guide took us to the safari directly at 3 p.m. for only two to one and a half hours. All this money for two hours a day of safari doesn't seem like the best.
We were finally very disappointed when we were taken to see the rhinos in the special reserve near Tsavo...the guide arrives there for 4:30 p.m. and after 20 minutes makes to leave since the park closes at 5 p.m.; but couldn't he have taken us there earlier?
finally, the guide did not seem the least bit knowledgeable to us and never wasted time looking for animals (he even came without a spotting scope!).

Amazing 9-Day Safari with Lion King Adventures
Our 9-day safari with Lion King Adventures was an unforgettable adventure! Huge thanks to Jovitha and Rose for organizing everything so smoothly. Our guide, Shabani, was fantastic-he knew so much about the wildlife and made sure we had some incredible experiences, like getting up close with lions in the Serengeti and capturing an awesome picture of a cheetah.
The itinerary hit all the right spots, like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, with just the right mix of action and downtime.
The lodges were cozy, and the visit to a Maasai village was a real highlight. Everything from airport pickups to park transfers went off without a hitch, so we could just relax and enjoy the experience. If you're thinking about a safari in Tanzania, I can't recommend Lion King Adventures enough-they really know how to make it special!
