Amazing Journey!!!!
My husband and I just got back from Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls), Cape Town, Kalahari Desert (Tswalu) and Sabi Sands (Leopard Hills). Kathi Simon from African Welcome Safaris helped us plan this trip from scratch, and she was amazing. She answered all of my emails the same day, was helpful, knowledgeable, and lovely, and she gave me valuable insight into things I would have never known if I planned this on my own. We received a welcome package when we arrived with everything we needed--info on the places we were travelling, a detailed itinerary, and coupons for the excursions planned. We had drivers every step of the way, and I felt completely taken care of.
Our tour guide for Cape Town, Rhys, was also incredible. He was knowledgeable, funny, and wonderful.
I cannot say enough good things about African Welcome Safaris! Thank you for helping us plan our dream vacation! It was everything we could have hoped for and more!

My total experiece with KET beginning in November, 2012 and ending in Sept., 2013 was exceptional.
Our safari planning with KET began on November 12, 2012 and this was for a September 2013 trip. Dealing with Paul Mwendwa for nearly a year of pre safari planning was very enjoyable and also very easy. Paul was always quick to respond to all my endless questions, offering alternatives in dates, safari camps, etc. At the end of our safari, Paul was kind enough to meet us at his office as our driver/guide, George was taking us to the airport in Nairobi. All the planning paid dividends as the entire trip went seamlessly with no problems. My wife and I had a safari van to ourselves which made photographing the animals extremely easy and rewarding. I can't say enough about George who went out of his way to make sure we saw every possible animal. We stayed three nights at the Mara Sarova Tented Camp in the Maasai Mara, One night at the Sarova Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru and two nights at the Ol Tukai Lodge in Amboseli. All accommodations and meals were excellent. Back to George.............our adventure started right away as George picked us up at the airport in Nairobi without a hitch. George then proceeded to get stopped by a lady police officer for God knows what reason. As George continued to rant that Lady cops are the worst and just terrrrrible as my wife and I continued to laugh and laugh. George was also kind enough to make a stop in a little town for me, search for a market so I could buy some beans to fill my camera support to rest my lens on and keep the camera steady. I simply cannot say enough about Paul and George. They made our once in a lifetime experience a true joy. George and Paul were reflective of all the Kenyan people we came in contact with - kind, considerate and full of joy.

Our tour with Maasai Legends was fantastic--beyond all expectations.
Our Guide, Leonard, was fantastic. He has a great sense of humor and was really fun to be around. He made us feel comfortable, never hurrying us. He asked what we hoped to see and experience. I think he enjoyed our reactions as much as we were thrilled. He was able to arrange our tour so that we did game drives on the way to our next destination, giving us an even better experience. He was even able to help get our lost luggage from the air carrier to our next hotel! He made our safari absolutely fabulous!

Safari & Company facilitates a return visit to the amazing people and animals of Africa.
We have been thrilled with previous safaris in South Africa, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia and Botswana. This time it was to be a visit to Zambia and Zimbabwe. Safari and Co helped with the planning and preparation of the trip and organized the logistics to allow 3 other couples to join us in our African adventure. With careful, thoughtful planning, clear and complete communication regarding the travel details and most memorable safari locations and accommodations themselves, Safari & Co made our African experience a pleasure from start to finish.

AMAZING TRIP IN Tanzania.
We (my girlfriend, two friends, and I) spent three weeks in Tanzania+Zanzibar during August 2014.
We got in contact with Hamad(Face of Africa adventures) for a 12days safari& trekking to kilimanjaro machame route The itinerary was, in general terms, as follows: Lake Manyara-Ngorongoro-Lake Natron-Serengueti-Tarangire. Conversations with Hamad previous to the final itinerary were very pleasant, always meeting the needs we required, until we were comfortable with the final schedule. Once we got there, the experience was just amazing, not only because of the magic environment of Africa but also because of the professionalism and human quality of our driver/guide Patrick . He made our trip unforgettable. I strongly recommend the experience.

A phantastic insight into the heart of Africa
Our journey (5 Europeans) with Kanuth was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Kanuth we gained insight into a whole universe of undiscovered wildlife, cultural diversity and daily life in Africa. Kanuth is perfectly organized, straightforward and serves not only as a linguistic translator, but has also a sense of making African culture comprehensible for "Mzungos".
I can only warmly recommend the "Kanuth experience".
Lake Nakuru safari. Great team!
It Started in Africa organized our tour in lake Nakuru. The guide spoke perfect English, was enthusiastic and explained to me the behavior of all the animals and birds. We saw rhinos next to our car. Instead of vans, we had a land cruiser and they gave us awesome binoculars. Nothing to complain, organization was flawless.

Brilliant weekend with the Pristine Crew!
I went on a 3 day, 2 night, weekend safari with Pristine Trails. I was part of a group of 7 volunteers based in Moshi, Tanzania, where the Pristine office is located. Our weekend trip started of by Edward (one of the partners of Pristine) picking us up from where we were staying and taking us to our truck where we met our wonderful guide Vincent and heading to our first park: Lake Manyara. All the Pristine guides are incredibly friendly and excellent hosts. For example on the first night of our stay at the campsite, the bar only had Kilimanjaro Beer, but as we were on 'Safari' we would of all preferred Safari beer. And without even asking the next night the fridge was stocked up with Safari beer! We couldn't of been happier! As for the safari it's self, it was sensational, the views, the animals and the determination of all the Pristine guides working together to find any opportunity for us to see the 'big 5'! And they didn't disappoint. We were especially luckily enough to see a whole pride of lions, only a few meters away feeding on a carcass, believed to be a zebra. I would highly recommend Pristine trails as they will cater for all your needs, they are knowledgeable, well experienced and provide an excellent adventure which will always be remembered. We all certainly had a great time and the Pristine 'Food Engineer' provided us with some of the best food we had eaten whilst in Tanzania, every morning and night!

Great company to work with!
We had a wonderful time at the Mara, Serengeti, and Ngrongoro Crater. James M was an amazing guide! Raj was very good, too. Monica and Joyce in the office were great to work with. Our flights got messed up, and they were very helpful in rebooking our tour for us. Very good price, too. I checked with several other companies and this one was the best. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Amazing Safari, great country, friendly people
We had been planning to go on Safari for a very long time and we finally had the opportunity this summer. We sent our safari requests to several operators and decided to book with Safarihub purely because of their helpful customer services, quick response and more importantly price - we were getting a lot more for our money. Mike the driver picked us up from Kilimanjaro airport and we set off on a 7 day Safari exploring some of the greatest game reserves in the world, a wonderful experience and Mike was a seasoned Safari guide with tons of knowledge. We would recommend this company - especially for people going on their first Safari.
