Excellent planning and follow through = amazing experience
We worked with Levis Omondi at Hallmark Travel Planners to plan a custom 18-day itinerary for our group of 6. He was a pleasure to work with, prompt in responding to questions and keeping us informed of issues and changes. He worked with us to organize bringing donations for school kids. He met us when we arrived and stayed in touch throughout to make sure everything went as expected. I highly recommend him and his company.
The tour itself was extraordinary. The accommodations Levis selected for us were great, primarily tent camps that were each unique and fun, with a couple of very nice lodges as well. We had separate guides in Kenya and Tanzania. Paul in Kenya is an excellent spotter! He really knows his animals and birds and can spot them easily while driving. He was a great guy, very personable and informative. Elisha in Tanzania is a wonderful tour guide with a great sense of humor. He was also very knowledgeable and a natural at reading the group and what we needed and wanted. The Land Cruisers in Kenya were definitely more comfortable on the terrible roads, but the Toyota 4-wheel drive vans in Kenya were pretty standard there and actually had better viewing from the seats.
The animals were incredible. We were there to see the wildebeeest migration in the Masai Mara, and the sheer size of the landscape and the numbers of animals was awe-inspiring.
All in all, it was an amazing trip, very well planned and managed. It was an excellent value and I'm glad we worked with a local African company rather than go with a canned tour from one of the major American tour operators. Again, I highly recommend working with Levis Omondi and Hallmark Travel Planners.

We did a lot of activities and saw a greatful number of animals in few days.
We (two persons) made a private safari at the beginning of August visiting Udzungwa Mountains,Iringa,Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP.During six days we had an amazing experience. Our driver and guide Fikiri was a very safe driver and an excellent guide.Thanks to him we saw a lot of animals included a leopard.Asha was our chef and she prepared us excellent vegetarian dishes.
Ruaha NP is a very big park where we had the occasion to see a lot of elephants, giraffes, zebras,baboons,a lion, lionesses with cups,a hyena, jackals and many more.A great number of animals and very few tourists.
The trekking experience through Udzungwa Mountains was very interesting and we saw wonderful sights of the forrests and mountains.
In Mikumi NP we saw also a large number of animals included a leopard.
The accomodation was always very nice. The best for me was the Ruaha Bandas beside the river Ruaha where we saw every day different herds of elephants,hippos,zebras and other animals.
The planning of the safari was perfect and promply made by Micky who answered all my questions by e mail before we arrived at Dar es Salaam and also talked to us on the phone at the end of the safari asking us if we had a good time.We were very satisfied with our holidays in the south of Tanzania.

A truly memorable safari experience
Gosheni adventures organized our safari which included Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara National Parks and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and which took place at the end of July 2015. The planning and organization was very good as far as the hotels standard and the actual safari is concerned. We selected the six day safari which was very sufficient to cover a lot of ground and see a very great number of wild animals, including of course Tanzania's big five.
The success of our safari was greatly based on our driver and guide. He was very experienced and could literally "smell" wild animals from a great distance, because of his skills and ability to spot the right places and correctly interpret all the signs and movements. Thus we were given the opportunity to see almost all the important and beautiful wild creatures. On the other hand, as a driver he was really professional, driving prudently without any risk and being very gallant and helpful towards his fellow drivers.
The combination of the good planning and organization, together with the skills and expertise of our guide, resulted in a truly memorable safari.

Nothing left to chance
If you want to go on a safari that doesn't pay attention to detail then don't choose Kombu Tours because they plan for everything. We went to the Mucheson Falls National Park and had an outstanding time. Our guide Isaacs was brilliant and showed us all the animals we wanted to see and some like the snake that we weren't! Our 4x4 was ideal and offered great views and our 5 year old daughter really loved being close to the animals especially the lions. We chose the tent option at the lodge which was fun (apart from the mossies) and the other guests were really friendly and the staff superb.

Wonderful safari experience!
Our safari with Asili Explorer was very good fun. Our guide Joseph was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver and always ready to seek out the best animal viewing experience for us. We saw it all - lions feeding on buffalo, hyenas circling, a sleepy leopard in a tree, hippos frolicking in the mud, and so much more! The safari was reasonably priced, the parks we visited (Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti) were spectacular and the food was great too...thank you Asili for such a great safari experience!

Professional, helpful and very high quality safari operator
Our safari last week organised by Inclusive was excellent in all aspects.
Communication beforehand with Stephen was great - we were able to get very quick responses to all our questions, and great care was taken to personalise the itinerary for us.
Organisation and logistics throughout were perfect. All pickups/drop-offs were on time, activities ran entirely to schedule and check in/out at all accommodation was very smooth.
Our guide/driver, Moses, was fantastic. A great man to spend a week with. He was very knowledgeable, sharing lots of information proactively as well as answering all our questions fully. He clearly cares a great deal about the work he does, and that really shows.
The itinerary was exactly what we wanted - a mix of game drives in Nakuru and Masai Mara, and other activities such as cycling in Hell's Gate and hiking at Mt Longonot. All accommodation organised by Inclusive was excellent.
Overall, I would highly recommend this very professional and assiduous safari operator.

The one of greatest safari companies.
The company think of the needs of tourists the best such as the balance of destination and costs. Thanks to this company, I could have a trip to ngororo and serengeti. Also, the company replys the soonest. This helps tourists so much. I really thank this company.

An unforgettable and great experience with PearlAfric
Innocent Manda organized a marvelous trip in Uganda for our family . We met him at the ‘Vakantiebeurs’ in Utrecht (the Netherlands) and stayed in touch by a very pleasant email contact.
We travelled with our two sons of 17 and 18 for three weeks in this beautiful country in a spacious 4wd with a special roof for seeing wildlife. We rafted on the river Nile, hiked at Sipi falls and visited the beautiful national parks where we saw the big five, chimps and imposing gorilla’s. Special thanks to our driver Paul. He is such a kind, reliable and gentle man and knows a lot about Uganda. We learned about its history, culture, nature and wildlife.
Travelling with PearlAfric was an unforgettable and great experience. Keywords to describe PearlAfric Tours & Travel: experienced, reliable, flexible, high level of service and hospitality.
