Experience of a Lifetime!
We were simply amazed by the abundance of wildlife in Kenya. Our close proximity to such a large number of different animals and birds during the trip was incredible and in such stunning surroundings as well.
Transtrek Safaris organised the perfect itinerary for us covering Amboseli, Tsavo West and Lake Naivasha with a couple of breaks outside Nairobi including comfortable accommodation with great food in beautiful locations throughout all at an extremely reasonable price.
Every park visit was well worth it with our guides both very knowledgeable and patient when we made any special discoveries! Being able to watch a leopard cub at dusk and see an adult the same night went well beyond our expectations!
Each day just got better and better. We will most definitely be back for more!
Thanks so much again to everyone at Transtrek for a great and fun trip - it was truly the experience of a lifetime!

Truly an amazing experience
The moment I sat down to talk to OT about what I was hoping for in terms of a safari, I knew I was in good hands. OT asked wuestions as to what I wanted and then made all of the arrangements so I could get the best experience possible. I had a private tour with an amazing guide and cook. They were so friendly and quick to answer my questions and accommodate my requests.
I booked the four day tour which took us into the Great Rift Valley and into the Masai Mara for the riding portion of the safari. We spent the afternoon there and then the following morning. Antelopes, zebras, dik diks, impalas, elephants, a cheetah, lions, giraffes, hippos, hyenas and jackals were aplenty. We actually got to see lionesses eating with hyenas and jackals waiting eagerly for their turn. It was amazing.
The sleeping arrangements were great with a tent and its own attached bathroom.
On the third day we went on a walking tour which was nothing short of stunning. To walk amongst the animals made me feel like I was on the set of Jurassic World (but waaaaay safer:).
We also enjoyed a beautiful lunch on the Lake and a boat ride on Lake Nakuru.
I count myself lucky to have met OT. There were so many options and I know that I chose the right company. The only thing I would change if I could would be to book a longer safari. So I guess I will just have to come back:)

Good trip, great wildlife.
I had a great time traveling to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Flash Mc Tours. For the price they charged, you really couldn't beat it. We did several game drives through the parks and saw most of the big five, plus giraffes, hippos, wildebeest galore, and plenty of zebras. The guide and staff were courteous and helpful throughout and the tents were simple, but cozy. Thanks for the trip.

Experience of a lifetime
If you want to see the real Botswana and have a sense of adventure then Bush Travellers are the safari people to go with. We had first class treatment and food.
Your first contact is with Shuffle who will answer your every query promptly.
Sage is incredibly knowledgable about the wildlife and his eyesight is binocular. Fortunately his knowledge extends to the birds as well as we are keen birders.
Thank you to the rest of the team who looked after us we had fun and laughs we will miss you,hope to be back.

Great trip organised!
good communication, good prepared, personal, nice suggestions, cheaper than others, good English speaking guides with good behaviour, perfect drivingskills and good eyes to spot animals. Highly recommended to book with Africa Tried and Tested!
It is a nice safaris with Jocky tours.
The camp security is best beyond the expectations. Everything is safe. Jocky Tours also has a good arrangement on the safaris. We found out many kinds of animals.
Besides when we arrived at camp, the power socket does not work until we left, even though i drived the service manager in the camp, it is not convient.

An extremely well organised, experienced and friendly travel company
When we first emailed Gosheni, we received a reply within 24 hours. Over the next week we were able to iron out an Itinerary that suited us for 10 days of travel within Tanzania. Arnold was so helpful in suggesting different and alternative activities that we could do in our 10 days. And the price he came back with was unbeatable.
We were met at the airport by John who was to be our guide for the next 10 days. John was extremely knowledgeable about Tanzania, its people, Flora and Fauna and we would highly recommend him as a guide. The food was excellent, varied and always so so tasty.
My wife and I had a truly superb experience with Gosheni and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone thinking of doing a safari in Tanzania and or Trekking.

An unforgettable experience
Having experienced a Botswana safari with bushtravelers I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone. Being slightly anxious, I was quickly reassured by their team that I was perfectly safe. Their knowledge about reading animals was amazing. Our two families of five experienced hippos, lions and elephants within our camping vicinity at night and countless sightings during the day. Our tents were robust, clean and comfortable as was our outdoor bush shower and toilets. Barney's cooking was sensational, and Tula's unwavering help around the campsite very appreciated. Sage's knowledge about the area and its animals was outstanding, not to mention his great sense of humour made us feel almost like part of his family. So much so that there was a few tears when we left the team to come home. An experience I will never forget, a must do!

Incredible Dream Honeymoon
My husband and I were beginning our search for the most incredible honeymoon when we came across go2africa. Being Canadians, we had little advice in our area to set up the perfect getaway. We were out in touch with Monique Roden quite quickly into our search and she put together a flawless honeymoon that far exceeded our expectations. We tell people at home, until you've travelled to Africa, been on a safari, or felt that feeling when you touch down on African soil, we truly cannot explain to you in words how incredible of an experience it is. Our pictures and videos do not do it justice. The quality of service everywhere you go, the knowledge on the tours and the exceptional standards whether it be food, decor, spa service, movie night (tambo airport hotel), it far exceeds the rest of the world as we have seen. We have travelled all over Canada, the United states, the Caribbean and Europe and truly believe they set the bar the highest.
Although we talk about it everyday and look back on our travels with such fond memories, we really want go2africa to know how much their support and guidance meant in planning our trip. Monique's suggestions and tips were so knowledgeable and she made all of our big to do's happen. It may have meant moving tours or bookings around but she made it work. Every single part of our trip was perfect, not one error. In fact, our luggage was lost in Chicago, Illinois on our way down. Which was the airline we booked, not go2africa's fault. A gentleman (our porter) in Zambia took our personal information and looked into it and hand delivered our bags to us the next day. This was the only (and very minor) mishap of the trip, which in our view was no problem at all. In fact, it made us realize how much more the folks involved in our travels went the extra mile to help us out, truly leaving an everlasting positive impact on our view of Africans (South Africans, Zambians and Mauritians to be specific). Every single person we met whether they were a porter, tracker, butler, chef, flight attendant, server in Nelson Mandela square, luggage carrier, they were absolutely fabulous people. We know it's a late review, but we had to tell you all how incredible you are at go2africa. We love following the updates on tours, new baby Cubs, and all the excitement back in Africa on Facebook and Instagram and still get email updates. We think Monique was truly incredible and would love to plan a trip for her in Canada one day if she ever wants to come visit. We are saving up for our next trip to Africa and cannot wait. We will definitely be calling Monique for help again!
