Absolutely amazing experience!
We (6 of us) booked a trip to Kilimanjaro and Tsavo through Tropical Valley Safari end of January to early Feb 2015. Tropical Valley made all arrangements to find us the best tour guide for Kilimanjaro. They also arranged a local contact in Tanzania to pick us up from the airport to the hotel. The group that hiked with us (porters, guide and cook) were super amazing! I got sick in Kilimanjaro and had to go down. Our contact in Tanzania came to pick me up after leaving Kilimanjaro and made sure I got back to the hotel safe.
After Kilimanjaro, we headed out to Tsavo. We had one of the best drivers we could hope for. Tom came from Nairobi to Voi to meet us all and check whether we had a good trip and everything went as good as we had hoped for.
I can absolutely refer my friends and colleagues to use Tropical Valley Safari. We shall be going back to Kilimanjaro again in 2017 and we will for sure be using Tropical Valley Safari again.

Outstanding service and attention to details to an affordable price.
This was my second time letting E-trip handle my custom made safari. As a photographer I am very picky about details and I was surprised how well E-trip handled all my special requests. Everything from camps, drivers and flight arrangements were taken care of with the utmost attention and service quality. There is a jungle of safari tour operators out there of a varied level of quality. Being a photographer who is in Africa twice a year, with very high demands, it is a huge help having E-trip taking care of all my arrangements.They make my life so much easier.
Can't recommend enough!

It was an excellent and unforgettable experience.
Recommendation
We are 9 persons (5 adults and 4 children) from Switzerland and our guided tent safari from 27.09.2015 – 06.10.2015 led us from the Moremi National Park over the Khwai and the Savuti region to the Chobe National Park in Botswana.
We want to thank our guide, Mr Eddy Everaerdt, and his crew for the amazing experience. We appreciated not only Eddy’s competence and wide-ranging knowledge about the nature and wildlife of Botswana, that he shared with us during the tour, but also the perfect organisation, the delicious food, the kindness and helpfulness of the whole staff and the nice company of Eddy and his wife Mano in the evenings around the campfire.
We will never forget these interesting and adventurous days and recommend this tour with Eddy and his crew to all the people who are interested in Botswana’s marvellous nature and wildlife. For all of us it was an unforgettable and amazing experience!
We wish Eddy, Mano and the whole crew all the best for the future.

Absolutely Amazing!!! Best experience/holiday ever!!!
Myself, my husband, grown up son and niece have just had the most fantastic holiday which met all our expectations and more thanks to Robert and Kenny at Beacon safaris.
All I can say is I couldn't have wished for anything better.
When I booked this holiday I was a bit sceptical as all the contact I had was by email where as I usually book a holiday package with a well known tour operator but Robert was very professionally and informative, I had searched through all the usual holiday companies well known in the UK to see what they could offer but we could only travel on certain days for a limited time due to my husbands work commitments and to fit as much as we could in whilst we was there, this proved to be impossible to arrange with no flexibility on either parts so I decided I would have to look further afield.
Beacon Safaris offered exactly what I was looking for which was The 8 day Best of Kenya Safari and said they could be flexible with dates too!
I arranged the flights and our hotel for the first night but Robert said he could do it for me if I wanted, because of our flight time we couldn't start our safari the same day which I think was good as we were all tired however Robert arranged for us to visit animal sanctuaries and orphanages on that day which was great and at a very good price.
From arriving at the airport to returning after the safari we had our same driver/ guide Kenny who we all thought was amazing we felt sure we got a better deal than any one else with his experience and knowledge, he definitely made our safari extra special and can't thank him enough!
We couldn't have asked for two better companions, Robert and Kenny were fab, helpful, polite and very knowledgeable.
All our accommodation was fantastic, clean, food was good and staff always so helpful and all the game drives were amazing, always different. We couldn't believe the amount of wildlife we saw and how lucky to have the opportunity to experience these animals living in their own habitat , we got some amazing photos without fancy cameras just using our I phones but I would recommend a good camera too.
I would have no worries recommending Beacon Safaries to anyone
Once again I would like to thank Robert and Kenny for making the experience extra special.

Experience of a lifetime, would absolutely recommend!
I had an unbelievable time on safari with Trek2Kili!! Our guide, Johnson, was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to make the trip special for us. We saw lots of animals and were also lucky enough to be shown lots of the birds and smaller animals that are usually ignored in favour of big game. Camping overnight in the national park and hearing lions right by us was also exhilarating and wonderful. The guides' passion for the conservation and protection of the incredible wildlife we were privileged to see during our time there absolutely shines through in everything they do and say.
My only regret is not getting to spend longer and I would recommend both the company and our guide to anyone.

Excellent safari in Amboseli and Tsavo East&West
We had a private safari in Amboseli and Tsavo East&West. It was an excellent 5 days safari. Our driver Anthony know much about the surroundings, wildlife and African way of life. He was an excellent driver, because the traffic is like wildlife in the city. Our hotels and campsites were booked and were also excellent. We had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it. Hope to travel in future again with this company.

Perfect Holidays
In September of 2014, after good experience of some friends with same tourism company we decided to go for a safari in Tanzania and Nature Bond Africa made our holidays perfect. Even that Ethiopian Airlines tried to ruin our holidays canceling flights in our itinerary, Mr. Eliya could quickly re-arange our schedule and find ways to not disturb too much our trip. We had a wonderful driver/guide (now our dear friend Zebra) who also helped to improve our experience to see mother nature very close. We were able to see Big Five and close our holiday experience in a relaxing beach resort in Zanzibar. Again thanks to Nature Bond Africa we had amazing time visiting and enjoying Tanzania. Asanta Sana NBA.

Superlative Mana Pools trekking/canoeing safari!
Our group of six had a wonderful time experiencing the natural delights of the African wilderness on our 10 day walking and canoeing safari through Mana Pools National Park.
James, Tony and Campbell were fantastic guides who ensured our safety whilst imparting their extensive knowledge of our surroundings. They were supported by a magnificent group of very hard working guys who looked after us in the mobile tent camp and fed us the most amazing meals all cooked on an open fire.
Floating down the Zambezi at the end of the day with a Gin & Tonic was one of the many highlights!
