Excellent service, friendly staff, overall a pleasant experience and an amazing trip.
After discussing our wishes and expectations, Afroleisure Tours had made a route with several options in no time, which they presented to us professionally and put together the perfect travel plan. The Service was excellent, quick and efficient. All our questions were answered beforehand, we felt prepared and the tour fully met our expectations. Thank you so much for showing us Kenya from ist most beautiful sides! It was truly a memorable trip!

Tanzania through a child's eyes
If you are looking for an all-inclusive vacation in Tanzania, look no further than Breakdown Safaris. My seven-year old son and I spent seven days in Tanzania, three in the Selous Game Reserve, and three in Zanzibar and Chumbe Island, and we never had to worry about a thing while we were there. Every detail of our trip was taken care of by Kathy and Fanuel from helping us to decide on the right adventure to make all of my son's wishes come true, to helping us properly pack for the trip to even making us dinner reservations for New Year's Eve in Zanzibar.
While in the Selous, we stayed at the Selous River Camp. The accommodations were comfortable despite the heat. The staff at the camp was great. They made sure every need was met, and even provided a guide to walk us to and from our hut at night. Breakdown Safaris offered us three different ways to see the Selous, providing us with a driving, walking and boat safaris. We saw every animal we hoped to see, including a two different groups of elephants and lions. Fan is extremely knowledgeable of the reserve, and its wildlife. He provided us with a wealth of information about each of the animals and the local tribes.
At the end of the trip, we spent two full days on Chumbe Island off the coast of Zanzibar. This coral reef park is a place only found in your dreams. The water: several shades of aqua; the sand: white powder; the snorkeling: the best I have ever experienced. We had the opportunity to snorkel morning, noon and night, and we did just that. The amount of marine life within the coral reef is amazing. We saw everything from sea turtles, hundreds of angel and trigger fish, spotted sting rays to a black tip reef shark. My son's favorite were the sea cucumbers, oh and the hermit crabs which cover every inch of the island. Like the Selous River Camp, the staff and rangers at Chumbe are top notch. The rangers worked with Cooper on our first snorkeling trip and helped him to get completely comfortable maneuvering the waves. The food on the island is also amazing. Every lunch and dinner is complete with several selections of fresh seafood.
This vacation went well above and beyond all expectations my son and I had. If you want a vacation that is well planned, well organized and customized to your every need, then you need to book it through Breakdown Safaris!

A great private safari for a very competitive price
We had 4 free days before our Kilimanjaro climb, and decided to spend the time on a safari.
Homeland adventures was the only tour operator at the time who offered Serengeti and Ngorongoro in a 4-day package (as opposed to 5 days).
We were pleasantly surprised that the price that we paid (which was quite reasonable) gave us a private jeep with a guide and a cook and just the 2 of us. Accommodation conditions were good. Food was as good as anybody else's (it seems that everyone on safari was getting standard meals).
The safari experience was excellent! We highly recommend it.

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by eleeg78
I visited Queen Elizabeth only briefly and likely didn't get the full experience. Unfortunately, we didn't have much luck seeing wildlife. We did, however have a nice camping and dining experience.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by eleeg78
Bwindi was an excellent, if expensive, experience. I'm often asked if it was "worth it" and honestly that's a tough question. The price tag is really high, no doubt. It was an incredible day though and I justify it to myself as voting for conservation.

So much to do in this off the beaten path gem!
After six months of road tripping through Eastern and Southern Africa, Murchison Falls holds up as a favorite memory. The park is stunning and there is so much to do! The boat trip is an obvious yes, but also don't miss the hike to see the falls from the other side. The sound of the thundering falls is seriously impressive! We were self driving, but hired a guide from the park and definitely recommend doing so, we were really impressed by Charles' knowledge and he definitely contributed to our enjoyment. Murchison Falls National Park is well worth a visit and Uganda was one of our very favorite countries! You will find exceptionally friendly people, excellent attractions and affordable options.

Review about Uganda by eleeg78
Uganda was one of our favorite countries of 9 Eastern & Southern Afrcian countries visited. Wildlife was not as prolific as some other destinations, but still plentiful and of course offers the chance to visit the mountain gorillas! The people are very friendly, scenery is stunning, roads are decent, attractions are affordable and the country felt progressive and not corrupt! And the birds, I almost forgot the birds, best in Africa...and that's saying a lot!

Trips to Masai Mara and Nairobi National Park
From the start they were good on the phone, friendly and welcoming when I was picked up and good driver heading towards the reserve - although we couldn't tell then how well he would fare with the animals - while other vehicles were getting stuck we had a great afternoon and morning drive with sightings of lions, cubs, zebra and 3 families of elephants - there was good local knowledge as well as wise use of the radio. Peter and his team dropped us at the airport, even took us for coffee on the way as there was plenty of time before the flight.
Second time, I only had an afternoon to spare at short notice but no problem, Peter picked me up and arranged a tour van to meet us at the gates to the park - all very efficient.
Would I recommend them - sure, no hesitation! Nice people leaving me with an amazing experience.
