Exceptional Customer Service
Although I wasn't able to go on safari with Gametrackers due to a last minute injury, having used several other Kenyan tour operators in the past, I am compelled to write about Gametrackers' exceptional customer service.
Being a lone traveller with specific needs makes it quite difficult to find a suitable group to join. I got in touch with several Kenyan tour operators and Stacey was always the quickest to respond to my numerous queries and never lost patience with me either. Gametrackers also provided me with the only working solution to go on safari. The other operators just weren't flexible enough to accommodate a single traveller at a reasonable fee.
My preference is to get off the beaten track and knowing the Mara extremely well, I talked to George our guide before committing to going on safari. George had excellent knowledge of all the areas I was interested in visiting and he was extremely polite.
Unfortunately on the day before the safari I hurt my back and I was unable to travel. Even with the last minute withdrawal, Stacey, Rufus and George were caring and understanding. I was touched by their genuine concern and well wishes. I will not hesitate to use Gametrackers in the future and recommend them highly.

Easy booking and very good communications
Esther at Let's Go handled our booking and did a perfect job getting us exactly the dates and location we wanted. The price was also better than what was publicly available on the booking websites. Thanks so much!

Simply The BEST
Impala is the only way to go! This was our second, extended journey around Africa and, once again, our expectations were far exceeded. Last time we visited Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe, this time Namibia & South Africa; both trips were amazing and full of breathtaking variety. André (from Impala) put together the most amazing itinerary and every stop was a delight. He seems to know what we want and then find something even better; he also knows what we need before we know that we need it; every aspect is taken care of.
I've recommended Impala to dozens of people and we're already planning a return visit.
Thanks André, for another memorable and delightful journey.

The experience was like a road trip with friends rather than a tour- full of snacks, jokes & sights!
Traveling with GoExplore Safaris was the best choice I could have made. I was traveling alone to Uganda, and I was a little nervous when planning the trip. On top of planning a fantastic trip for the three days, I booked them for; they also ensured the transportation and the activities that I had scheduled for the other four days were safe and quality places. Furthermore, When planning the trip, he communicated over whats app and would respond in minutes to any of the million questions that I had.
Overall this trip exceeded my expectations. As a recent college grad I was on a limited budget, but with their help, I was able to go to botanical gardens, go to the swamp on Lake Victoria and see a shoebill, see gorillas, go on a village tour and go white water rafting. Even along the road as we drove there were terrific views overlooking the gorgeous country of Uganda. Lastly, the trip was like a road with old friends. We ate snacks, listened to fun music, and by the last day were cracking up at inside jokes. We might have started as businessmen and client, but by the end of the trip, we all left as friends. Thanks for the fantastic trip guys! You are amazing

Well organised
Safarihub handled my booking and coordination very well. All my booking, payments, itenary finalization etc were done sitting in Singapore coordinating with Safarihub staff in Tanzania. Victoria was super supportive and helpful in the whole process. she was available and responsive at every stage and for every single query and clarifications. she came and met me on the day I landed in Arusha and briefed me and also met on the day of departure to take feedback. Since I wanted a group safari, I was put onto another safari operator ( simba safari) but the entire process was seamless and I was kept out of any logistics hassle they had between the two tour operators.
their selection of lodges/tents were outstanding and enjoyed the stay at each of the places and enjoyed the food.
overall a good trip and will definitely reach out to safari hub for my next safari!

wonderful experience
My first time with Simba Safaris. I had booked my tour through Safari Hub who finally put me through Simba Safaris.
The driver cum guide - Mathew was an excellent guy. He knew the way around and drove really well. Not sure if there is an improvement needed around his wildlife knowledge.. i guess yes. But his overall attitude and behaviour kind of made up for any lack of knowledge that he had on wildlfe.
Vehicle was good and in good condition. Interios were maintained well.
Choice of lodges/tents were really nice. enjoyed every place and food in all locations.
Simba represetative - Mark was there at Arusha to see us off on the first day of the safari and was available to take feedback on the last day was aswell. Which was a good gestrure and felt that there are people available to take care of us incase of any emergency.
The only negative about the whole trip was the delay in pick up from my arusha hotel on the first day... i still dont have an explanation to it .but overall i had a good trip

Book now, you won't regret it
This was my second safari with Shaun and Moriti Private Safaris, and I will definitely be back. Seeing these animals in their own environment is magical. I can't say enough great things about Shaun, he is so knowledgeable, personable, and makes sure you have the best experience possible. If you are thinking about booking, just do it. I promise you won't regret it!

Great Experience
I had a fantastic time on my safari. My tour guide, Maxwell, was very professional and knowledgable, and the entire trip was organized very well. My only complaint is that two people were added to our safari on the second day, meaning there were 8 people in our vehicle which was cramped and resulted in not everyone having a window seat. Otherwise I would highly recommend Karibu Safaris!

Very responsive to the type of camps we wanted and exposure to game.
We did a "five camp" safari over 12 days in Zambia and Zimbabwe. This was our fifth trip to Africa, and we had not spent an appreciable amount of time in either country. The terrain was dry, as expected. We are willing to trade off the beauty of green flora for the absence of mosquitoes,
so always travel to Africa in September.
Our camps ranged from older bush camps to newer contemporary camps. The bush camps are due for a "refresh", but the food and staff were both excellent as were the game sightings. This was our first trip that included walking safaris. They lasted about an hour each, and were excellent, giving the guides an opportunity to share their extensive knowledge of tracking with us. We learned a great deal, and highly recommend them when offered.
We also did a canoe trip at Chiawa. Majestic scenery and interesting wildlife. I am older, and the guide did the paddling...I never touched one, so it was an easy, peaceful journey.
At the first three camps in Zambia we had pleasant surprises with meals, ranging from lunch being served at tables in the river (only about 6 inches of water in September), a lunch on a boat and a BBQ dinner in the bush. While these are surprises, we have come to expect them over the years, and were somewhat disappointed that our two stops in Zimbabwe did not provide that experience.
We had hoped to do a bit of fishing, but mother nature delivered some rather strong winds, so we were not able to experience that.
I won't go into any detail about game sightings but suffice to say they were plentiful and exciting (especially the cheetah chase down and the hyenas running around with a zebra leg).
The logistics on this trip were a bit complicated, and I would pay closer attention to them on future trips. It was my error that we did not spend a night in a hotel when we arrived in Africa, and ended up going on two in country flights and a long drive to the first camp, making the journey about 48 hours. Also, moving from Zambia to Zimbabwe was cumbersome and time consuming. I will definitely take a closer look at that aspect next time.
All in all, another wonderful trip to Africa!
