Reliable and professional operator with great experience
Visited Uganda in September, 2024, hoping to explore nature and local culture. Received what we wanted, thanks to this operator. Not only we got all the information needed before the travel, but we also had a big pleasure during 5 days on this Safari. Our driver, Noah, was a great and kind guy who drives perfectly and knows a lot about everything we saw.
We managed to see a lot of animals and birds, the nature was great. Both parks we visited were very interesting and beautiful.

EXCELENT SAFARI WITH MI VIAJE EXPEDITIONS
We did a 6 day, 5 night safari the first week of August 2024. We found MI VIAJE EXPEDICION on through reviews and were really happy with our experience - we were not familiar with the area nor the best places to visit during this time of year, and Norah was super responsive and helpful during the planning process to build our itinerary and lodge selection taking into account all of our preferences. All of the staff was awesome during airport pickups/transfers as well. Joseph was our guide during our safari and gave us a phenomenal safari experience - we went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. He was an awesome guide to spend the 5 days with, super knowledgeable of the best places/times of day to spot all of the animals and made sure we saw everything we wanted to and more. We splurged on this trip for our honeymoon, and definitely felt like the lodges/service delivered on expectations and quality. The one thing we recommend is ensuring you are flying in and out of the best airport for your travel plans before and after - we didn't know there were several domestic airports (Arusha and the Serengeti) we could have flown directly out of vs going back to an international airport. We highly recommend a trip with MI VIAJE EXPEDICION!

An excellent tour organiser and even more wonderful guide!
I just returned from a lovely trip to Kenya. We were there for 10 days out of which 4 were arranged with the help of Apodiformes Tours. Our journey included visiting Kenya's most stunning destination: the Masai Mara.
A big shout out to Fred as a tour operator. We had numerous concerns/ questions prior to the booking and he was patient yet prompt to clarify everything. Even after booking, he was personally there to pick us up and had arranged the travel and put us up a wonderful lodge in the park, called Sentrim Mara.
What made the whole experience even better was our guide and driver, Kim. Kim has an immaculate eye-sight and understanding of the reserve. He always ensured we had the best views of the animals while understanding their behaviour. He was always before time and excited to show us around the park. Thanks to him we were able to spot 4 out of the Big 5, namely Lions, Elephants, Buffaloes and Rhino. From driving along the Tanzania border to bushes of the savannah, we left no area uncovered.
The experience of being a spectator and watching all the lovely animals in their natural habitat was surreal. Would highly recommend doing it at least once and that too with Apodiformes Adventures (more specifically, with the fire combo of Fred and Kim).
Note that it might appear expensive but in our opinion was worth every penny.

Amazing Trip, Highly Recommend. Great experience with Charles and Salina Wild
We had a brilliant trip with Salina Wild. Communication was great before the trip - every question answered and lots of helpful tips. We loved spending time with our guide, Charles. He was incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the animals, areas we visited and life as a guide. We learnt so much and saw all the big 5 several times. In our trip we went to Masai Mari, Nakuru, Amboselli and Diani Beach. Everywhere we went had something new and beautiful to see, ranging from multiple lion prides, illusive leapards or herds of dozens of elephants. We even spotted a pod of wild dolphins at the marine park in Diani beach. We'd highly recommend this once-in-a lifetime trip with Salina - and you'll be extra happy if you end up with Charles. Thank you Charles and Henry, and all the staff at every hotel. We will never forget waking up to a herd of zebra walking past the tent.

Excellent
We had a 6 day, trip of a lifetime with Telly Africa, during our honeymoon, visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangerie National Park.
Our guide Joseph was absolutely exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and just great to be around for our entire trip. We saw all of the big 5, and Joseph knew a lot of information about literally every animal, bird and landscape. He was also always on time, had a clean car every day, had plenty to keep us hydrated and fed, and was a great photographer! He deserves more than 5 stars.
The trip was also very well organised by Mohamed and team. Hotels and lodges were lovely. We did the balloon safari which we highly recommend!

Jackson & his crew were 100% AMAZING!!!
This was my first safari and I had no idea what to expect. Because of the size of our group, we needed 3 vehicles. We were very pleased with the price of the tour. Jackson and 2 other drivers picked us up on time. The vehicles that we rode in were clean and roomy. We were able to get amazing photos with the lift up roof. Jackson and his crew were very knowledgeable about the animals that we saw - and we saw many animals. Not only did they have interesting facts to share, but they knew where to find the animals. They made frequent stops for us to have time to take pictures and just observe the animals in their natural habitat. We were never rushed from point A to point B. When I return next year, I will be booking Uganda Family Tours & Travels again!

Great ideas and service very quick and helpfull we had the best trip ever in Tanzania!
Karin from Green Hippo Travels was the best and a great help for our once in a lifetime trip. We wanted to see the crossing of the migration in the Mara River in the Serengeti. She came with great ideas and beautifull tented camps in Tanzania. Very good value for money she is very reliable and was very quick with the itinerary and we could add everything we wanted till the last minute.
The whole tour of 8 days was fantastic, we had the best driver/guide ever, Silva was so kind and knowledgeable, he has eagle eyes and made this trip even better. Next time we want Silva again he added so much to this great trip. We saw so many animals and birds in Tarangire the crater and Serengeti.
We defiitely want to go again in the future and offcourse with Green Hippo Travels!!
Thank you so much Karin for everything you did.

Amazing experience!
We went on the 7 day safari to Amboseli NP, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Mara. Overall, we were able to see and do more than we could imagine!
From the start, Steve was very responsive to our questions and concerns. He was flexible with specific needs we had for travel. He understood how to help us make the right choices for our trip.
We were very impressed with the places we stayed. I would recommend doing the luxury stays, totally worth the money and Ramja Safaris picked places that were unique and added to the experience.
As for our guide, Patrick, he always had a positive attitude and was knowledgeable about the parks, animals, and Kenya itself. He clearly is passionate about what he does and in getting to share that with you.
This was a trip that I would say before going on it was very outside my comfort level but Ramja Safaris made it easy and enjoyable by what they offered and addressing any concerns quickly. Thank you!
