Memorable African safari Experience
I recently traveled with Bestday to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, and had an unforgettable safari experience! I contacted several companies before booking my trip, and decided to go with Bestday, because of their excellent service from our very first communication. Peter, was extremely helpful in arranging my tour, providing me with the best rates for my solo travel, including top rated accommodation bookings, local airfare, and airport transportation. Our guide was very friendly, and knowledgeable about all the animals and the history of the surrounding land. Each day on the road was a new adventure, navigated by our guide with expertise. I will never forget the night I spent in the Serengeti, with a sky full of stars, and a lightening storm out on the horizon... or enjoying a lovely picnic lunch by a pond full of hipppos. The only thing which made my safari experience even more memorable is the personal treatment I received from Bestday. They truly cater to each individuals needs to ensure the best trip possible. I recommend Bestday with complete confidence to anyone, I even hope to travel with them again on my next trip!

Uganda Safari Experience
We were in Uganda volunteering at Malayaka House, an orphanage, and wanted to do a quick safari to Mihingo Lodge before returning stateside. Our drivers were punctual, nice, funny. We felt safe with them as well, which was important. I would highly recommend Kombi Nation Tours and the Mihingo Lodge!

A Life-Changing Trek at 50 Years Old
For my 50th birthday, I wanted to do something very special. I had never done anything big and I realized it was now or never. Well there is nothing bigger than Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. Little did I imagine how life-changing a trip up Mount Kilimanjaro could be. After tons of research, I cautiously chose E-Trip Africa to run my trek. You are putting your life into someone else’s hands, so this is quite a big decision. I could not have been more pleased with this outfit, from the beginning to end! The staff is unbelievably professional, friendly & knowledgeable. It does not take long to see that they have had very good training from plants on the trail to safety. The crew quickly became family, as these guys are not only professional but honest hard working people that are warm and kind. I was beyond surprised at how good the food was. I mean there are no roads to drive that stuff up the mountain, so everything has been carried by hand. Davis the guide has over 10 years as a guide, not counting when he was a porter and assistant guide. I was told by E-Trip that Davis recently placed first in a Mountain First Aid course, getting the highest marks in the class. There was no doubt in my mind that this was true, as he was even giving medical advice to another company that had a sick person in their group. As a 50 year old, I did not really focus on the summit, but on having a great experience, as I figured there was not much chance I would make it all the way up. I chose the Lemosho route over 9 days, to have plenty of time on this beautiful mountain. In the end, I had a great life-changing journey and also was successful on my summit night, thanks to an exceptional crew. On a side note, I was really touched by the work that E-Trip Africa is doing with the Mailisita Foundation, in providing education to disadvantaged youth in the Moshi area. I am glad to know that they work to give back in a very concrete and measurable way. I plan to return to the school soon, to volunteer to teach computer classes to the kids.

They provided a great tour, meeting all our expectations with great care and consideration.
We were very pleased with the prompt attention, response to emails and itinerary outlines we were offered for the number of days we wanted to travel. We had great accommodations arranged for us in the budget we requested. Our personal guide, Abdul, was very knowledgeable and equally as personable, making our time on safari very enjoyable.

Kenya - Simon is the best!!
My wife and I went on our first ever trip to Africa through Odyssey Safaris through a Groupon deal and it couldn't have been better. We were taken care of the whole way and never felt unsafe at any point. We didn't get to see all of the Big 5, but it was the trip of a lifetime. It couldn't have been better with panoramas of Mt. Kilimanjaro and an all-inclusive end at Diani Beach. Simon was the ultimate guide - he was very friendly answered every legitimate and ridiculous question that came up and was a heartfelt professional. We would love to go again with Simon any day. I highly recommend Odyssey Safaris to anyone who is the least bit intimidated (like I was, but not my wife) in taking a trip to Africa. Maeshi marefu!

Amazing Trip
Itinerary, (30 + days) was perfectly planned. Our expectations were exceeded, and we look forward to doing it again. Chris and Safari Partners looked after every detail. His recommendation to add Namibia to our journey was well worth it. The 'andBeyond' lodges in Botswana and Namibia were magical, and our accommodation in between was perfect. We highly recommend Safari Partners.

Great Canoe Trip
This was an excellent experience. Seeing the Zambezi river from a canoe for three days gives a whole new perspective to safari. Our guides, Mark and EG, were very knowledgeable and managed the canoes (and hippos) very well. Camping on the banks of the river was great, as were the walking safaris. The food was top notch too. The support staff did a great job making this a truly memorable experience.
Gondwana provided us with the best holiday in nearly 50 years of traveling.
Our safari in Botswana was spectacular. Mark Hathaway helped us plan the trip; he was responsive from the first email. Everything we asked for he provided, quickly and pleasantly. Mark met our plane at the Maun airport when we arrived; he met us again the next morning to see us off on the safari. He even sent us a bottle of wine to one of the camps, as well as a birthday card to me. We've never experienced such great service from a tour company before.
The safari itself surpassed our expectations. The accommodations were lovely, the food fabulous and the camp personnel friendly and professional. If (when) we book another safari, it will be through Mark.
