Excellent operator, great communication, great team, great food and great experience
We were searching for a good but affordable TO to do a 6d/5n Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We contacted almost 20 different agencies. Almost all seemed to be good but in the end we decided for SM.
Why?
1. excellent communication with Romeo, the owner, who was very thorough, clear and patient in answering all the questions we had beforehand
2. It was the cheapest operator
3. We only found good reviews online
How was it then?
One word: excellent. This is not a „I want to help and promote an acency“-review what I am writing here. I really mean it. The staff (our guide was Moses, our cook was Rama) was indeed very very caring and ambitious that we felt well during the whole safari. Moses is a very nice and funny guy, with good language skills and an eagle eye when it comes to animal spotting. His knowledge was great also. Rama has been cooking exceptional for us. Every meal, even a simple breakfast was just great and tasty. There was nothing left to wish for.
We saw amazing landscapes, unbelievable fauna (including the Big 5) and a density of wildlife we could not imagine before actually seeing it.
To sum it up: We highly, highly recommend using Safari Multiways as a tour operator for your safari.

Best trip ever
This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and I am so glad we chose Drones Africa Safaris. From our first interaction with Lizzy we knew we were in good hands. She answered all of our questions patiently and was very accommodating in planning the exact itinerary we needed. Our guides, Jose were the best that we could have hoped for. They were friendly, charming, and obviously very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife in the Mara Nakuru and Amboseli . We felt like a part of the family after 6 days, and we were sad to say goodbye to them. If you are looking for a smaller safari company that will treat you well and customize a trip exactly to your specifications, you should absolutely choose Drones Africa Safaris.

A lovely Africa Adventure
It was just my daughter and I visiting Kenya and Tanzania. So I was quite apprehensive about the trip. But I needn't have worried at all! Trip Advisor Africa Safaris, specifically Seth Vincent, Reuben, Godfrey and the team took amazing care of us. As two women travelling alone in a different continent, I felt nothing but safe, secure and taken care of all thanks to the team. They were there at the Airport an hour before we arrived. Their coordination was incredible throughout the trip and we didn't have to worry about a single thing after landing. They made sure everything was smooth and automatic. We saw so many animals and learned so much about them through our experienced, well informed guides i.e Reuben and Godfrey. Visit to the museum and Maasai Village also taught us a lot of the culture, heritage and history. Our meals were always ready with careful preparation and the guides were so alert, accomodating and entertaining. Seth also kept in touch with my husband when I didn't have network to contact him. It was such a different experience for me as it was my first time camping and travelling so much, but I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I also loved our complimentary dinner in Carnivore Restaurant in Nairobi a lot.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a lovelier time. I experienced so much in such a short span of time, in so much comfort, all for a budget price! I've personally recommended them to all my friends and will definitely choose them again when I return! Lastly, I want to thank Trip Advisor Africa Safaris for giving my daughter and me the best adventure ever!

Flexible, smart.... just the best compared to others
Our guide Twaha was fantastic again. Everything was 100 percent organized. This company is just the best. This time we went to Kibale and QE NP and it was perfect.

Unforgettable experience!
We were toured through Queen Elizabeth NP and Kibale NF (Uganda) by Twaha and Remmy, who are both very skilled and safe drivers. They know where to find the animals and take nature as it is, unpredictable. We were lucky to see pretty much all the animals we were hoping to see, as well as breathtaking landscape. This was my second trip with Wild Jungle Trails and I can only recommend them! When I come back someday, I'll definitely try to travel with them again.

Anya was truly the best!!!!!!!!!. No stone was left unturned. She took care of the WHOLE PROCESS.
What can I say about Africa? What a vastly beautiful and amazing continent, with soooo many wonderful sights and beautiful people. Wanda and I would like to Thank You Anya for taking the time to create the BEST trip we have ever taken. Anya was accessible throughout the whole trip from the beginning to end. She never failed to get back to us. All aspects of the trip were perfectly planned. We never felt alone or lost during our 28 day trip. We had a total of 3 safaris planned. Each was unique and different in its own special way. We loved the guides, the food, the scenery. Anya perfectly broke up the trip with local venues and exotic getaways. From wine trams, to safaris, to table mountain, to penguins to food, to great locations and lodgings. We would like to thank you Anya for the very best trip of our lives. See you soon Africa and Anya as well.

Great
The 5 days camping safari was great. Geofrey was very helpful and friendly. We saw so many animals and the crater is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.
The tents were nice and the food was fine. The price for the tour was very good.

very good driver/guide and good food with a somewhat old car
We had a wonderful safari-time, driver and cook/chef were very good; some minor points, but as a consequence of the sharp quote for our trip, our stay in simple tents on a campsite was not our style ( we are 70 + years of age) and the car was somewhat old; traveling on the dirt roads makes a lot of noise in the car. Overall we will advise to go with Decent tours Ltd.

Great itinerary and lodging with spectacular views
I chose the 5-Day Kibale Chimps & Bwindi Gorilla Trek Uganda Safari for the second leg of my African vacation. Communication during planning was excellent. On the day I arrived in Entebbe, we were going to leave directly from the airport to start the safari. The guide was late. I called him since I had been given the number, and he seemed annoyed, asking me if I had called his boss. He said he had been told that I would arrive at 6:30, when in fact it was 6. Getting through customs was easy, so I had to wait for about 30 minutes. We got on our way in any case. I had just came off a great trip in Kenya, and I found this guide to be a bit closed off. We didn't really talk much, even over lunch.
When we arrived at the first lodge, Isunga, he just dropped me off and said he would see me at breakfast. I guess the guides don't eat with the guests at this place, but I had some of my best moments on the previous safari hanging out with my guides and it would have been nice to spend a little more time with a local resident. The experiences on the treks were incredible. I would only suggest that they remove the "game drive" wording from the description regarding the passage through Ishasha. Passing through the park on the main road to Congo doesn't really constitute a game drive. The scenery in the mountains is simply incredible. My guide was opening up a bit by now (on our 3rd day together) and telling me about the crops, markets, and some of the land owners in the area. The Bakiga Lodge was beautiful, and I appreciated the briefing about their conservation and rainwater harvesting efforts to benefit the community. I was able to have meals with my guide here, and we were able to start having cordial conversations.
We had a couple of misunderstandings, but I think we had everything worked out by the end of my trip.
