Great Safari Trip
The owners of Big Mama Safari came the night before to go through the trip and as well to answer question and they came the evening we returned from the safari to ensure that everything is was okay.
The guides on the trips did a great job, they had great knowledge of the area and about the aminals.
We had a great trip!

Accommodative and punctual.
Communication wise it was efficient, fare charges and the 7 days tour was worth it. You really care about your clients. Any day anytime I'll choose trailfinders Africa safaris 🤝

Professional and highly organised trip of a lifetime
We visited Victoria Falls, Chobe, Elephant Sands and then 3 days camping in the Okovango Delta in Botswana. Mr Oscar and his team looked after us from the moment our plane landed until we departed from Maun. We saw so so much wildlife and the opportunity to Mokoro in hte delta and walk in the bush with a highly experienced guide was magical. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Just tell him what you want to do and he wil organise it.

Milana is simply the best!
My friends and I visited Kenya for a 3 day safari and it was nothing short of perfection. Being our first time visiting Kenya we had to source for the ideal tour company which we felt safe travelling with. Milana Tours and Safaris came in and did the job. They helped us plan the perfect itinerary. We had the best 3 days in Mara, we saw almost all the top 5 animals upclose thanks to our guide Simon. We will definitely book with them in future.

BEST GUIDES ON EARTH!!!
Awwwww man I don't know where to start. Lets first start with communication OKKKAAAYYYYYYY. From beginning to end the communication was SUPERB. Detailed itinerary with what we were doing each day and what was included each day. Who we would see when we arrived, pickup times and fees were very clear and consise. Upon meeting you get a warm welcome and introduction. Transport was on time and had enough space for our group of 7, water and smiles were provided each and every day. One of our initial drivers was George of the Town with his so called magic water lol and once we got to Masai we had theeee most amazing driver named Issac. Issac is literally our homeboy now we got pictures with him, we made him jump for a gravity shot, we made animal noises together or should I say he laughed at my animal noises :D .. ISSAC helped make us feel truly protected and taken care of during our stay there. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND ISSAC as your Masai tour guide ...when he gets the drop on where the animals are at my guy takes off and gets you there ASAP ok so hold onto your wig. We had a blast at Masai Mara with the Mara Serena staff, singing making music and dancing. TRULY AMAZING YALL. To end it off thee one and only STEVE blessed us with a meal at an AMAZING all you can eat restaurant with an amazing ambiance and thee most beautifully dressed employees. This company really gains your trust being well organized, on time and communicative and don't ever drop the ball. You must book with them when you visit amd I guarantee you will not be dissapointed. The larger your group the better. Im a flight attendant and have been many places in the world and this is hands down one of THEE BEST trips and experiences I have EVER had in my ENTIRE 35 yrs of LIFE. I truly felt the love, the care , the respect, the vibes, the culture, the fun, the protection and the feeling of being at a home away from home on this trip. George of the town, George of the bush, Issac, Steve and everyone else we came in contact with...JOB WELL DONE. You have touched our entire New York Crew beyond imagination and yall will forever be in our hearts. Thanks for these life enriching memories and may god continue to bless each of you, your families and this amazing company. Sincerely Allison T. aka the one everyone kept Laughing at :( lmfao I truly love yall...stay blessed.

Amazing adventure of Kenya and Tanzania
What an amazing safari with Bontel Adventures with top notch Customer service!!we booked a 11 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari with Bontel Adventures and it turns out this is the best safari we've ever taken, Fredrick was really helpful in planning this safari, the guides assigned were so knowledgeable making our safari memorable. The main highlight of our safari was Masai mara,Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater where we saw many animals from Lions,Elephants,wildebeests,Zebras etc. We definitely recommend them.

Wonderful energy and highly responsive
My experience with Active Planet Safaris was outstanding, thanks to the incredible team and thoughtful planning that made my trip unforgettable. Joel, who helped set up my itinerary, was exceptionally helpful and responsive. He provided me with multiple options to ensure I stayed within budget and tailored everything to my preferences. Joel’s warm energy shone through when he stopped by to meet me in person after my safari, which made me feel truly valued as a client.
My guide throughout the safari was Logan, a local expert originally from the Masai tribe with a background in wildlife studies, and was simply amazing. His deep knowledge and experience added so much to the trip. He shared fascinating facts and stories about the animals and the environment, making every moment memorable. Thanks to him, I was lucky enough to see the Big Five! For anyone interested in hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, he’s also a former hiking guide, so be sure to ask him about that as well.
Overall, Active Planet Safaris delivered a wonderful and once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful and personalized safari adventure.

not reliable
Overall, we do not recommend this company due to the dishonesty of the owner.
The opinion is based on experiences during an 8-day safari including Parks in Botswana and Victoria Falls.
Cons: Why do we rate the Owner of Lucky as dishonest? We had to buy our own entrance tickets to Victoria Falls, which he confirmed were included in the safari fees. Furthermore, even though he promised to refund these tickets, we never received our money back. An additional minus were the cars we drove - they were not properly checked and prepared, so one of the two vehicles broke down halfway through the safari, and Laky ineptly repaired them after two days.
Pros: It should be noted that the service team itself is great and we highly recommend them. A very good and committed guide, he tracked down every animal and always got very close to it. He was very nice and took care of us at every step. We would also like to thank the chef and assistant for the super tasty food and good organization of the camp, it was delicious, clean and very nice.

An unforgettable, special experience with a new culture and beautiful nature!
My boyfriend and I went on a safari with Roko and Miranda. There was clear communication about the content of our trip in advance and it was adjusted to our personal preferences. Roko really has a lot of knowledge about nature, animals and the entire culture in Tanzania. We were able to see many animals and we were really lucky with this, but Roko and the driver also knew where to find the right places in the national parks. We also had a cook with us on safari who served us delicious food!
Afterwards we stayed for a week in Lake Natron. In the Maasai Guesthouse you will not miss anything as a guest. We also went on a walk to the lake and the waterfalls with Roko (and his brother Bura) as a guide, both walks are definitely recommended! Just like booking with Roko Safaris!

3 Days Safari - an incredible experience
It was a great experience we had with this safari.
Everything was perfectly organized by the company: the transport from the hotel in Zanzibar to the airport, the flights, the overnight accommodation, the safari.
Our driver Innocent picked us up at the airport in Arusha and we drove straight to Tarangire National Park. There was so much to see and our driver tried to show us as many animals as possible.
We stayed overnight near the Manyara National Park. The next day we went to the Ngorogoro crater. Here we were able to see all of the big five. (many thanks to Innocent)
We also visited a little village of Massai, which shown us there lifestyle.
On the third day we were in Manyara National Park. Here our driver tried to show us as many animals as possible, which is not that easy with so many trees. However, in the future I would consider whether I would go to this park again, since compared to the other two parks, there are now very few animals to be seen here. (apparently due to the rising water of the lake)
Innocent was a really good guide who saw animals long before us and pointed them out to us. For us they were mostly at that moment just small dots in the landscape.
Many thanks to the Travel Wise Team and our guide Innocent for this incredible Safari.
