Great safari with Spot Kenya Safaris
I want to thanks Mr. Maurice Mwanzia and special our driver Harun for the beautiful time we past together. The drives in Tsavo West and in Amboseli were good planned, we saw a lot of animals and our driver surprised us by naming all birds (75 different) we saw! The lodges were just great and very good located. We will come back and hope that we can once again count on the excellent services of SKS!

A Magical Experience
Our trip was one of the best things we have ever done. Being a complex trips with many transfers and game drives we were pleasantly surprised at how everything worked like clockwork. It was perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. The terrain is gorgeous, the animals are fantastic and people wonderful. We are very fortunate people to have experienced that part of Africa.

camping safari with 4X4 cars, nights in the desert or local camps
Khaudum is pure Africa, great wildlife, especially elephants, but giraffes, roans, kudus, duckers and other antelopes too; lions are rare and shy, we only saw their footprints. There are only 2 very simple camps, we were in Sikeretti, only cold water, no fence. No food available, you need a 4x4, or better 2 4x4 in convoy. Very sandy roads, i dont know how it may be when it rains, maybe even more difficult. You need an experienced guide, because the signs are rare and often destroyed. No gas station available, even Tsumkwe, outside, often is without gas.

Enjoyed every moment.
I would like to thank Safarihub for an incredible well organised safari. Kamau, our driver was a really friendly guy with a wealth of knowledge and we had some good discussions with him about wild life, culture, lodges, etc. Tanzania is usually overlooked as a safari destination in comparison to South Afica and Kenya. It really is worth a journey.

You won't find friendlier, harder working, more accommodating tour operators!
I used to live in South Africa and have been to the Kruger Park more than once, both on a tour and on many self driven stays, so I had a fairly good idea of what to expect from Kruger. As a group of 4 families with kids (half of whom had never visited South Africa) we decided that taking a tour and having the advantage of being all together in the overland truck while game viewing would be a fun and practical choice. With 7 kids 10 and under we also looked forward to not having to organise, cook and wash up after meals!!!
Chris took into account our wishes for where we wanted to visit in the park, although some practical considerations (our group required a large campsite area to fit in all 7 tents plus two vehicles and a large area for us all to sit) meant that we had to stay more central in the park rather than stay in the busy southern areas - smaller groups at less busy times won't have this consideration.
Throughout he made accommodations for our requirements (having so many small kids meant timing meals a little differently than would suffice for all adults) and we changed up meals, drives, accommodation sites and worked in a very last minute game walk with an excellent guide organised by Chris & Nicky. Chris always had a smile on his face and was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the local bird and animal life. Travelling in the high truck gave a brilliant vantage point for game viewing and allowed the kids to sleep on the floor on the (majority of) days we opted to aim to be out of the gates at 4:30am in an effort to take advantage of the best game viewing. Accommodation was in safari tents which stood up to a torrential overnight downpour with no worries of getting wet. The first time visitors to the park especially loved being accommodated in tents for an authentic park experience.
Lastly, the food was absolutely delicious and prepared with obvious pride and care - they put a lot of thought and effort into the meals that they serve and it really shows. I put on 2 kgs in a week!!! They kept the "honour bar" well stocked at virtually cost prices and everything was kept cold with regularly stocked ice (and we were welcomed to keep our own drinks and water cold in the coolers as well).
I can say that while I am the kind of person who normally prefers the control of self driving in Kruger, I thoroughly enjoyed the advantages, perks and benefits of being taken care of by Armadillo Overland Safari & Adventure Tours in their awesome overland truck! Recommended for groups, families, first time visitors to the park and anyone who wants to relax and let someone else take care of the details!

Well organized chimp trekking experience in Gombe NP
Overall we had a great experience working with Joshua and the staff at Gombe Track Safaris. We arranged everything over email, and Joshua was always really quick to respond and was also really flexible in planning and paying for the trip.
We were a bit concerned by the lack of reviews, but were pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything ran when we got there. All our transportation was on time and efficient, and the food provided was maybe not gourmet, but tasty and filling after a long day of hiking. Gombe NP itself is a great experience, and the trekking guides there are great. Plus you have a beautiful lake to relax by at the end of the day.
The only issues we had were that our flight was a bit late and our schedule ran behind the first day, so we almost didn't get to go out and trek the first day. We had to be a little pushy with the guides to get them to go, but in the end we saw chimps both days.
Overall this is a good, honest safari operator and I would recommend using them to organize your trip to Gombe.

Great Experience We will live to Remember In Africa
My family and I had trip this year.We had a wonderful time and a smooth ride. All the hotels we slept were nice and it felt like we are at our home. Our driver guide Clement and our cook Sam did an excellent work. They made us feel comfortable in Africa where we dint know anybody. Mr. Otieno was always quick to respond to us. We are so grateful to Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. Those good memories will remain in our minds forever…Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris you are the best….

Southern Tanzania Experience
Dear Zuzana thanks for organising a great holiday. It was totally different to the Northern circuit in terms of abundance of wildlife and geography, the Rufiji delta is splendid. We will be referring friends to book with you in the near future, and I will email you some of our snaps.

Excellent adventure
Excellent staff, great care on a client. First of all a driver met me at the airport in Nairobi and bring me to the operator office and then to my hotel for free. Then, during the safari, mr. Otieno booked the bus ticket for me for my futher travelling. Thanks for that! And I had no problems on safari - tent, car, food - everything was nice.
