Absolutely amazing
My experience with bonfire was absolutely amazing, Kudos to David Kibe. He was so patient and arranged my trip within a very short notice with no hitch. Our guide John, aka Masai, oh my God, he was phenomenal!! He used his Masai instincts to know where the animals a were hiding, we literally captured the best moments of animals in action. Thank you Masai!!

Excellent Services
The process was smooth from making enquires, our agent, Kibe Dennis, was very patient with me and provided me with all the information that I needed. He was prompt in communication and advice. Our holiday was awesome, our room was spacious with a great view as promised by Kibe. I appreciate and look forward to booking our next holiday to Diani with Bonfire Adventures.

Best 3 days of my life (Literally)
I had a crazy experience with Hekima Safari. I will never forget his 3 days Safari. It was my childhood dream and Hekima Safari helped me make it come true in the best possible way.
First, I would like to start with our guide Fredy. I have never met a person as selfless as him. He made us discover the savannah and was very careful from the start to the end of our Safari. He is a wonderful, smiling and happy person. This is the best meeting we had on this trip (Fredy if you read this cheetah girls loves you ♥ ️ ♥ ️)
Then I would like to thank Ely for everything he has done for us. Whenever we needed something, he was there. Whenever we had a problem, he had a solution. It really is the best.
We were accommodated in luxury lodges in the middle of the savannah. I will never forget those 2 nights, it was unreal! The staff were super nice and I'm shocked at the cleanliness, I didn't think it was going to be that clean but it was really great

Unforgettable experience
I made a 5-days trip to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and I certainly wish I had more time. The country and the people are beautiful but what made the trip even more enjoyable for us was my tour guide Phillip Samuel from Manyara travel club. He is a very knowledgeable, accommodating and has a great sunny personality! Since this was my first trip in Tanzania, I relied a lot on Phillip’s expertise on how to best spend my short stay and what the local customs are. Overall, it was quite an enriching experience which wouldn't have been possible if I didn't have an excellent guide like Phillip. I wanted to see many places in a limited amount of time, but Phillip was able to create an itinerary for me that suited what I wanted and packed it with some of the most exciting activities possible given my short stay...
I are very happy and would definitely recommend Manyara travel club to my friends and family who plan to visit Tanzania. Thanks Phillip for enormous support towards my success to Uhuru peak.

Exceptional services
I and my other 3 friends have just returned home from a trip in Uganda and it has been a wonderful and memorable vacation.
After a few days of looking for a travel company, we found Mukisa Safaris and we instantly decided to book with the company. This because Richard exercised exceptional professionalism and promptness. He was exceedingly helpful, accommodative in crafting out the best itinerary that suited the best interests of our group and it was indeed the best travel plan as it enabled us explore and navigate almost the entire country in just 2 weeks. We visited several parks including Kidepo, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mburo, and Bwind Forest. Uganda is such a beautiful country with varying ecosystems that are incredible for nature lovers.
During our entire vacation period in Uganda, our guide Veronica and driver John were amazing people. They were so friendly and they made us feel safe and comfortable. We miss moments of enjoying cutting and eating fruits with them and ofcourse their incredible stories. Importantly, they posses vast knowledge about their country about everything. We slept in eco friendly lodges that were very clean and served delicious meals. Uganda is exceptionally endowed with many animals and during the game drives we encountered many animals including the African Big 5. However, the experience of tracking gorillas is comparable to none. It's such an awesome experience seeing gorillas just close in a few meters. We shall return to Uganda for another experience with gorillas.
We thank Mukisa Safaris for their exceptional services and we highly recommend their professional services.

The owner lies a lot and even now he is lying.
We have spoken with the platform master and he has suggested to give an update so here goes:
First, I would like to address the issue of refund. As mentioned, the agreement we made at the police station was for Haron’s African Sunset Safari to make a FULL refund BY 19 SEPTEMBER 2021, please refer to the attached. Haron only made his first partial payment on 28 September, second partial payment on 22 October. And as of today, 6 November, the FULL refund has not been received. Can you imagine after all these mistakes and injustices against yourself, Haron had the audacity to tell you to bear transaction costs when refunding you? Especially when he had a chance to repay you in person (and avoid these fees) but he chose not to. Because of this, we waited an entire day (until 9pm) at the police station - while we are on holiday.
Next, I would like to bring your attention to his responses to our reviews.
The person supposed to do ground handling in Tanzania had some problems…
(RESPONSE: We have proof and voice recordings that Haron was in cahoots with the Tanzanian middleman and tried to cheat the Tanzanian agency. We even found out about Haron’s threats because he was exposed. He is a manipulative and scary man.)
We did inform them of the only two hotels we would change more than a month before they travel…
(RESPONSE: To be precise, we certainly were not given more than a month’s notice. We were notified of the latest change (13 Jul) to one of the hotels 3 weeks before our trip. Not forgetting to mention the last hotel which Haron insisted to have booked, but when the officer called the hotel at the police station, they confirmed that payment WAS NOT made. We spent our last night scrambling to find another hotel to stay in because of Haron’s lies.)
There are so many lies Haron made that we can’t even list all of them.
It is telling when a tour operator responds to every bad review with rebuttals of their innocence. African Sunset Safaris is one such operator.
It is also laughable that this is the first sign of apology from Haron to us and it only comes when he is replying to a bad review instead of expressing his remorse sincerely in person, he is clearly putting on a show.
Haron, we know you are reading this. As the owner of an agency, please have the decency to reflect upon your actions. You owe us an apology and of course the balance of the refund. With that being said, do not expect us to take down our reviews as the agreement has been void by you.
Of course we can take failures, not everyone is perfect. What we cannot take is when it is happening everyday of the trip and the owner ignores you when he can’t find an excuse for his actions.
Of course, attaching a photo of the agreement he made with us to get away from the police station that day. That should serve as proof and give anyone reading this enough warning to steer clear.
