An Awesome Experience
My wife and I recommend James Mwere's services through MJ Safaris so very highly. We first met James when we were in Kampala about to break away from the group we came from Japan with (they were going back). We had some ideas of what we wanted to do for the rest of our time there. We had talked to a few different agencies and people in the tourist industry there, but we felt confused and apprehensive about how to go about things. But as soon as we discussed things with James, we were immediately comforted and assured by his prompt understanding and flexible insight into our needs and it was augmented by his warm congenial personality. His guidance, arrangements, and friendship on our visit to Murchison Falls N.P. and Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary (and some down time in Kampala as well) are a cherished memory in our lives forever. James' business and services have expanded since then and this is not surprising.

Exceptional, listening to consumer needs, respectful, well informed, great knowledge of animals
Safari Star Tours are an exceptional family company. Provides services of high quality. Before the arrival, during the trip and also after. We are really in good care and feel it. Really listening to customer needs and take care of its customers. The guide loves his job and the fact we share with pleasure. Excellent knowledge of the animals and also excellent photographer. I recommend this company to all.

Flawless Services ! Best Kenya & Tanzania Tour
Our trips arrangements started way back September last year, You have great services right from email communication to actual services on ground. We arrived at Nairobi airport late evening and were met by a warm reception followed by transfer to our overnight hotel. The following morning we received a briefing on the whole tour itinerary before we embarked on the tour, we had a great guide with a lot of experience and knowledge. We managed to see lots of animals and bird than we imagined, I remember at one point my wife who is bird lover when we were at Lake Nakuru park said " OMG! Africa has stolen my heart" She had seen lots of birds than she could imagine. Both Kenya and Tanzania has great number of animals and you definately will have much that you paid for , remember the success of your trip will entirely depend on your agent ground arrangement and quality of guide you will get.
We will definitely come back for another trip..
Thank you all at Trips Without Borders,You have passion for your job.

Great budget safari
We enjoyed our safari adventure with Msafiri Travels. It was a camping safari and rather simple set up, but the team made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Leina, the owner, was always a phone call away and available to handle requests and questions, which gave me a great comfort. The guides were excellent and safe drivers, which is important on Tanzanian roads. I felt we got good value for our money.
Wonderful tour in beautiful Uganda.
We had a very busy itinerary going the length of the country. Karumuna did a great job getting us to all of our destinations. As everyone kept telling us, you're travelling on 'African roads' so you will often encounter dust or muddy tracks - Karumuna handled these very well. The safari was great and the chimp and gorilla tracking are experiences of a lifetime. Many thanks to Richard for a wonderful tour and great memories.
Diverse and abundant wildlife with guides and trackers who go above and beyond.
I stayed at the Idube Lodge and the staff was very friendly especially the ladies in the kitchen. The local staff was very quick to offer up smiles and say hello and even lend a hand with greetings in local languages.....more than one! The game drives and access to the Sabi Sand were the shining star in my experience here. (I managed to poison myself by spraying the "Sleep Ease" bugspray in my room with the doors closed....not advised!). However, I got very,very lucky where I had a vehicle all to myself on one drive........Also quite unique was my guide, Promise, a local, whom I was told by a driver is a Prince in his tribe.....can't get much luckier than that! This was an unforgettable experience!
Review about South Africa by Anne Lester Papadaki
Since this was my first safari experience and I had the great fortune of staying at Tintswalo, Idube, and Lukimbi; three very different lodges. I fell in love with game reserves and photographing animals. I loved being able to interact with various cultures, just learning basic greetings and getting to use them. Even down to the various drivers who took me from lodge to lodge and to the airport: so many unique people who were easily willing to share their knowledge and pride in South Africa. It just kept getting better! And I would like to add that the admin staff were all very professional and helpful in securing last minute transportation. Many more good things to say.....fabulous experience.

Amazing places, friendly and helpful staff
We booked a trip in Namibia for 4 people. Everything went perfectly well. The places we went to were just amazing. We always got quick and helpful answers from our contacts at Giltedge Africe (formerly Southern Africa Travel).
I would definitely recommend to travel with them

Great Safari, Great Service, Great Value
Asili Explorer is one of the best tour operations I've had the pleasure of being with. I have been in 14 countries in Africa and more in Asia and this was one of the best, most professional experiences I've had. Everything was either as described or better, on time, on schedule and super professional. The guide, Joe is extremely knowledgable on the terrain and flora and fauna. The places we stayed were lovely and the Safari on the whole was much cheaper than comparable safaris. Asili is also Tanzanian and locally owned, which is where your money should go, not to the Multi-National Safari companies.
Going with Asili again is a priority for me and my family.

Amazing Experience - Top Organization
It was perfectly organized. All information was shared in advance and the support from the team in the office was perfect. They answered all questions and offered easy & fast solution to any problem.
Simon (the guide) was extremely nice with interesting stories to share and great knowledge of the wildlife. He was always on time, well organized and reliable. In addition, Simon was a great cook!! We really enjoyed our breakfast and diners ;-)
Last but not least: we saw the most amazing animals!!! For a 3 days safaris during a heat wave (37°C: animals tend to hide in such circumstances), it was really a gift to be able to see that much. Some people will say it is luck, but I think is also relates to the guide. He knew his stuff ;-)
Thanks you Simon and Wild Wings Safaris team! We really enjoyed ourselves!!
