A wonderful experience in a fabulous country .
From being picked up at the airport to being dropped back off again, Michael my guide for the week was a pleasure to be with, his knowledge of the country and the area's we were visiting were second to none (even telling me the best spot to sit for taking pictures on a boat ride) and with eyes like an eagle saw some wonderful photo opportunities I would never have seen!! a camera should be ready at all times!! As a solo traveler it was very important that I felt safe and this was the case at all times, the one and only time there was a problem it was with accommodation and within the hour we were on route to another lodge, communication between Michael, myself and management was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. Uganda is a magical country and there is still so much more to see, I would definitely love to return and will certainly use Speke and have no hesitation in recommending to others, a huge thank you to Michael and well done to Tony for having such a fantastic team.
Amazing trip with an individualised travel plan created withot any fuss or stress
From the onset, my trip with Pearl Afric Tours was well above my expectations. There was clear and prompt responses to any communication often requiring their agent to meet after office hours. The trip itself was amazing allowing one to see Uganda in all its splendour. The detail and care taken before the trip allowed one to sit back and enjoy the wonderful sites making every last moment a wonderful memory.
The Holiday That Was :)
The most awesome experience we've received thanks to Vacay Holiday Deals
My Fiancee and I decided to enjoy our Labour Day Holiday as Southern Palms Beach Resort Diani.
Check in was smooth with no time wastage. Snacking through the whole day. Tasty meals (Breakfirst,Lunch & Dinner)
Their service was exceptional. Clean environment form the air to the rooms and the pool.
The experience was amazeballs!!
I'm looking forward to more vacays :D

friendly people and very nice trip
I've been travelling with Africa Flash Mc Tours several times (Masai Mara, ol pejeta, Samburu etc) with different kind of packages (budget and luxury), sometimes I joined one of their groups, and other I asked for a tailor made private Safari. Every time I was very satisfied with their services and most of all with their flexibility, friendly drivers and customer care orientation. yes of course some times we had some little problem with the vehicle or a delay in clearing with the Hotel but this can happen in any safari with any agency. The important is that they've always done their best to fix the issues and make us happy and relaxed.
for the long weekend of 1st may I went with a group of 6 friends to Aberdares and everything was just perfect! It is the rainy season so not the best period to visit parks due to the poor conditions of the roads, but thanks to the patience and availability of Edward (the driver) we managed to do all our programs and to visit what we wanted to see.
I would really recommend this agency so give it a try!
Very efficient and honest in their advise
The safari was well organised
the Kibo safari camp was excellent
the staff was very very nice and helpful
the food could improve as it was very basic
the driver/guide was excellent and friendly

We can't wait to go on our next excursion with Carlos and Kenny. A wonderful experience!
I regularly recommend Steady Safaris to people I meet who are interested in travelling to East Africa. Our trip was seamlessly planned for us. We were involved in the planning and all or our requests were accommodated. Our guides were personable and as female travelers, we felt very safe and well looked after. The service we received was excellent. We were able to go on night and early morning safaris, had great wildlife viewings, hung out with some chimps and even visited rhinos- all arranged by Steady Safaris. I was looking for a local company with a social conscience, and I highly recommend this company to all. You will have a wonderful trip of a lifetime!

Amazing trip
I traveled to Africa in June, 2013 with a group from Cross Cultural Threshhold. Patrick was our driver/tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and animals. He answered any question we had. Saw many great sights and animals. Would love to go back and would hope that I could get Patrick again! For the short time we were there, Patrick made everyone feel comfortable. It's different being in another country.

Great for leopards, saw wild dogs, lions, very nice lodge
We stayed at Flat Dogs Camp just across the river from the Park for 5 nights. That is a lovely facility with great food. The elephants wander freely by the hatched-roof "tents". sometimes snacking on them. It was the dry season so most of the wildlife was crowded near the river which meant lots of wildlife sightings, but also quite a few other vehicles. Our drives away from the river had far fewer vehicles and found wild dogs, and other good wildlife. One nice feature is the park allows night drives (until 8pm) which were not allowed in Botswana parks. We greatly enjoyed seeing the nocturnal animals. The weather was warm but not too hot, there were almost no bugs. Everyone in our group of 7 had a great time there and highly recommend it.
Review about Kruger National Park by moonnuthatch
Birding and animals superb, but too commercialisedfor my liking. Understandable, but too many vehicles gather round the most notable animals.
Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by moonnuthatch
Wildlife is superb but can be patchy. Bush is very thick in parts. Some superb scenery. Have no yet stayed in reserve camps.
