Very professional, the best one !
Having already used the services of this company, I decided to trust them again for a second safari in Tanzania. I was not disappointed! This time I wanted to focus on crossing the Mara River. The good thing about this company is that you will be given the right information: the crossing and the phenomenon of migration, only nature decides whether or not there will be a movement of animals. Unlike big companies that sell you a lot of publicity, the Rustic team explains and suggests itineraries where you will not fail to see the many spendors of Tanzania thanks to the experience and knowledge of the guides. They will do their best to meet your expectations. I was able to see animals up close during the walking safari in the Arusha National Park, families of lionesses in Ndutu, the splendors of the Serengeti in the dry season. I saw so many beautiful things there without ever worrying about anything. Everything is taken care of by the company. We had a problem with the car breaking down in the northern Serengeti. No worries or stress. I didn't have to wait for hours on the side of the road (as I've seen before) the guide, experienced and resourceful, quickly found a plan B. I was picked up and dropped off at the hotel, the next day I went for the hot air balloon ride as planned and when I returned, a new Rustic car was waiting for me to continue my safari where I had the privilege of seeing more than one crossing of the Mara.I split my time between 2 guides: Sylvester and Mudy. They are motivated to show you the maximum of what Tanzania has to offer and pass on their wealth of knowledge. They come from the region and are REAL guides. And that's what makes the difference. You want a good guide, it's essential to have an extraordinary experience. I can compare having done several safaris. A safari is the experience of a lifetime and you don't want to spoil it by not making a good choice. You will have a more personalized service unlike large mass companies. I recommend this company with my eyes closed, don't hesitate any longer! Tanzania is waiting for you!

3 night, 4 day Budget Safari.
I attended a safari in September 2024, everything was well organised by Judith who was very quick at responding and informative about the safari process and itinerary. The safari itself was amazing, we saw all of the Big 5 over the 4 days and went into 3 different national parks. The guide Grayson and the Cook Passco were very friendly and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will be recommending Kilipath African Safaris to all my friends.

Jockey tours were easy to communicate with, clear about what the tour offered, and flexible. See
The tour operators where easy to communicate with, clear about the experiences available, and we're flexible to allow you to do exactly what you wanted. Cannot say enough about our tour guide that we spent every day with. Our guide, Johnny Jackson, was very knowledgable about every place we went and worked endlessly to get us the best experiences possible. Would highly recommend!

Perfectly organized and informative
It was a great experience! Tunu took care of everything from end to end. On safari day, hotel transfer was there right on time and took us to airport. After 30 min flight to Nyerere, our guide met us there and we got on the way. I am so grateful for his hospitality. He did his best to show every corner on the route. We saw every animal that comes to our mind. Elephants, giraffes, hippos, lions, hyenas, monkeys, crocodiles, impalas, boars, buffalos and many others. It is once in lifetime experience and I strongly suggest to take this tour to everyone visiting Zanzibar.

3 amazing days in Masai Mara - safari park with big fives and masai villages)
Our 3-days together with Toto Tembo driver/guide was something we couldn’t expect before our trip. All our dreams were fulfilled: we saw a lot of animals in different situations including all big fives. The driver was really professional and also with good humor of sense.

A professional operator with patience
It took me nearly half a year to walk through the whole progress, Thanks Victor for his patient replies and continuous efforts on the arrangement for my solo safari. Single travelers sometimes have to fit in the other group, but the results turned good and I really enjoyed the so many amazing animals I've seen and the hotels that Victor helped me booked. Next time I will come with my friends.

Excellent service, knowledgeable guide
We did a 6-day tour with Home to Africa and our wonderful guide William, from Lake Mburo via Queen Elizabeth National Park (with chimp trekking), Bwindi Impenetrable NP for gorilla trekking and lake Bunyonyi for our last night before returning to Kampala.
They were very accommodating from the beginning and really tried to take our backpacker's budget into consideration. We did the"budget" tour and stayed in some of the most comfortable and beautiful places of our entire year-long trip. The food was great and portions were generous, we were never hungry.
We had some issues with our permits (admin wise) and William handled it all with professionalism, making sure our experience wasn't affected. We also had communication from Hedmond at the office apologising for the inconvenience.
William was also an excellent guide and driver. He shared his knowledge of the wildlife and culture with us with enthusiasm and passion which was extremely appreciated.
I also thought the itinerary was really well thought, it felt like a build up with the gorillas being the grand finale.
Highly recommend Home to Africa, it was very good value for money compared to other companies.

Herbert was amazing
We had a amazing time and bamboo ecotours were great. Edison in the office was incredible at communication with me and at one point I changed all the dates and he did it no worries. Herbert our tour guide was wonderful informative and went out of his way for us, many times. We could not be happier with the service from bamboo ecotours. Amy Paul

Excellent service for an unforgettable time
Chloe was wonderful and helped greatly with the trip organization from recommending the best spots based on interest to planning out everything and trying to fit in all the wanted activities and handling the booking. I don't think it is possible to plan it in the same way without having a professional like her being involved. and best of all, the entire communication was fast and smooth. many thanks for helping to have such an unforgettable trip!!!
