Hilarious, great guide and would highly recommend
I would highly recommend Godfrey, from the moment we met him we knew we were in for a great time. Not only was his knowledge extensive on all the animals at the park but beyond that we felt very safe as he knew exactly what to do when we encountered animals. Even being so close up! He drove us around for a full day and we were so happy we got to see all the animals we were hoping to find 😍 not only that but we had a great laugh the entire time, he has a great sense of humour. We had a lovely lunch and got us in time and back in time for our flight. Highly highly recommend and would love to come back and do a safari again sometime but only with Godfrey! A****** thanks again. Jem 🥰

Wonderful experience with the professional team!
Tour to Kilimanjaro with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris was one of the best experience I’ve ever done. I contacted to the company at very last minute, but they kindly accepted me and communication with them was super smooth.
My guide was an expert with more than 15 years experience at Kilimanjaro. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always cared me both physically and mentally. I reached the top thanks for him and his team. The view, especially sunrise from the roof of Africa was unforgettable!!
I highly recommend to travel with them when you visit the mountain!

The best！The most professional, caring and fantastic! If you missed it, I will cry!
Climbing with Alex, the team and the company is the wisest decision I made for my tour of Africa.Without their help, I think my dream could not come true so fast.
I lack of exercise and I always think I am a weak girl.But my guide Alex never gives up me and continuously encourages me, then we made it to the peak. Every friends including me couldn’t believe it! I think the reason is mainly Alex. He is such more professional than the other guides I met along the way, he will assess your capabilities and choose the way most suitable to you including using his 17 years climbing experience to smoothly go through the mountain, finding a comfortable poly poly pace you need to catch up but you don’t need to rush, ensuring your safety when it’s slippery or steep, assessing your body all the time, knowing where you are exactly every time you want to know, checking your blood oxygen level every morning and night, giving helpful medicine and cloth advice and renewing your climbing plan based on your performance. And he is so caring to make sure you eat enough and help you take your day pack when you feel exhausted.Besides, he could speak fluent English and Chinese. You could fully trust him and he will help you as much as he can. I couldn’t believe the other guides could provide more than him.（and I think everyone knows him)
And the chief Eric will ask your preference before climbing and prepare everything . Everyday the meal is delicious even till the last day. I enjoy it and I ate a lot under the condition that I have a Chinese stomach. You will have hot tea or ginger water when you want or feel sick. And have popcorn as snacks.
And every morning Jonny will wake me up gently and have already prepared a cup of hot tea which is really helpful! And he is so warmhearted to meet your needs.
The whole team is so supportive. On the summit day, hot water is still provided along the way. After I reach the peak, I was descending to the campsite. On the half way, I saw they have already arrived there to congratulate me! I feel so warm after one night’s climbing.
And the company is also very supportive. Alone the whole 7 days, Honest continues trying to contact me to make sure i feel great and have no worries.
The whole process is so fantastic and I treat the whole team as my family. I 101% recommend the team to all kinds of people who want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro no matter you are good at climbing or you never climb before and have no confidence, no matter you travel with your friends or alone like me, no matter you want to climb to the peak or just appreciate the view along the way, no matter you are budgeted (worth every penny )or want some luxury! This is your best choice(after I ask some other people’s ’ experience and feelings, I got the conclusion.)
Finally, thank you for sharing the journey with me and let me have an unforgettable memory! Remember to miss me!

Chill and caring
If you are planning to hike Kilimanjaro, I will recommend to trust local company Zanzi Trekking and their professional crew. We had an incredible week hiking Lemosho route all the way up to the summit. Me and 2 friends booked a private tour and had 10-person crew with friendly porters, chef, waiter and couple of guides. Maru and George (the guides) were amazingly talented leaders and i could trust the whole trip that we got perfect advice for each day. Even thought there were challencing moments on hike, our guides knew exactly how to push us forward and still kept our minds happy. Thanks to the chef for making delicious foods, especially soups kept us warm. Also food was always on time and that’s something you dont want to stress about at the mountain. So if you are looking for chill and talented crew and want to reach the summit with cheap price, support and go and take a hike with these guys. Thank you for sharing this hard but worthy experience with me, I will see you guys some day again. Jambo jambo!

I recommend Golden Rwanda to all other travelers!
I researched a number of tour operators before selecting Golden Rwanda and I am very happy with my decision. I worked with Frank to create an itinerary that was well-tailored to my interests and fit within the 7 days/8 nights that I had available. Frank was very responsive to my questions and knowledgable. Golden Rwanda accommodated me as a solo traveller for a very affordable price, a service other operators did not offer. Taufique picked me up at the Kigali airport upon my arrival and dropped me 8 days later- safe and very satisfied with my Rwandan adventures. He greeted me each day with a smile and excitement for that day's activities. He was an extremely pleasant and knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to ensure that I had a well-prepared cappuccino every morning and a positive experience over-all. I really liked the accommodations that Golden Rwanda selected for me. Each was clean, comfortable, and offered good service and food. The activities were remarkable - trekking with gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys; kayaking on lake Kivu; and cultural activities such as the Kings Palace Museum. Transportation between locations was safe and comfortable. I found Rwanda to be a beautiful country and Rwandans to be warm and gracious. I particularly recommend the gorilla trek and, if possible, go more than once. I did it twice and each was a unique experience. I also recommend the Genocide Memorial in Kigali. It was informative, thought provoking, and extremely moving. I would book with Golden Rwanda again if given the opportunity and recommend them to other travelers.

Absolute trip of a lifetime!
I have just finished the full 72 day Absolute Safari. We covered an enormous distance seeing and doing so many incredible things.. Game driving in the big yellow truck, crossing boarders, mountain treks and gorillas, islands and beautiful beaches, house boat charters, wild rafting down grade 5 rapids, sleeping under the stars, water holes, desert, mountains, rainforest, 4 seasons... I have hardly scratched the surface! This is a hands on camping safari which is a bit rugged on the edges but well organized covering a great trip route on an itinerary through Africa, and comes with the support of 2 road crew to assist you on your adventure. I highly recommend this company to those with a sense of fun and adventure to get the most out of the people and places visited on this safari.

an insight into East Africa
There is nowhere in the world like East Africa for immersing yourself in nature and appreciating your true place in the animal kingdom! When guided by the right people who know their land and culture, it is a humbling experience. Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris exceeded my expectations of the Uganda Gorilla Tour, which was more than a hike in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to come breathtakingly close to one of our closest relatives - it also included the wildlife of the magnificent lakes, the Rift Valley, and a most memorable insight into the culture of East Africa that can only be fully conveyed by a locally owned and operated tour company (I know, I have used a UK company before!). The trip from Nairobi to Kibale went seamlessly - comfortable travel and good, affordable meals and accommodation. I was impressed by the professional standards of KWSS - in particular the flexibility in the face of a last minute change of plans by other clients of the tour group. I felt I had a private tour specifically tailored for me for the price of a group tour, that is how much attention KWSS paid to my needs!

Looked after everything
We only had limited time, three days, and we had extensive email correspondence with Simon about six months earlier when he gave us prompt and patient answers to all our many questions. We took his advice about where to go, where to stay and he took care of all the many details, airport transfers etc. Everything went like clockwork. Would recommend Eastco to anyone.
Our driver was friendly, helpful and reliable.
