A dream come true for us, amazing gorilla trek and trip around Uganda & Rwanda
We booked a 4-day tour with Bamboo Ecotours with the following itinerary: Kigali-Lake Kivu-Gorilla Trek @ Bwindi-Kisoro Coffee Tour. It was a big group of 7 of us, and we are really satisfied with the company and its staffs and definitely recommend booking a similar experience with them. Our guide/driver was Fred and he's been super kind and informative. The hotels that we are staying too have been incredible, and the highlight is our 2-night stay with Gorilla Leisure Lodge: super attentive and friendly staffs, and the warmer on the bed just really made our day.
Awesome tour of Kruger, private reserve and panorama route- fabulous guide for our family of 6
Rickus was fantastic from The moment we first made contact. He was able to customise the package to meet our family needs. We were mum and dad and four kids age 17, 16, 12 and 9.
We had so much variety, stayed in accommodation with pools which the kids loved, we enjoyed private, open top jeep safaris.
Rickus was so informative and he quickly became our friend. We saw all the amazing wildlife and Rickus was so good at spotting it including cheetah and a leopard pair, with all the big 5 and many other beautiful sights.
The food choice was great and we enjoyed eating at the different restaurants in Kruger and at the lodge.
Everything was extremely well organised, safe, interesting and hugely enjoyable. Safari sundowners with beautiful sunsets are moments we will treasure forever.
Rickus also put us in touch with a guide in Cape Town to bespoke a jam-packed few days there for us at the end of the holiday.
A fantastic trip from start to end, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. A truly brilliant experience.

Unforgettable Experience with Spirit of Kenya
We had an amazing journey with Spirit of Kenya. The tour was well-organized and offered a great variety of activities. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, making the entire trip truly enjoyable. The accommodations provided were comfortable and in beautiful locations. I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kenya. It was truly a memorable experience.

Truly wonderful safari of Serengeti with Top Tours
We chose Topy Tours because we wanted local knowledge and expertise and to support the local economy, not an international tour corporation.
Jackson the owner was incredible-
firstly, he was extremely informed and an excellent communicator; secondly, we were able to shape our own, private Serengeti safari within our fairly tight budget gained great value for the price; thirdly, I changed my mind on our dates & itinerary a couple of times (😲) before finally booking and Jackson was incredibly patient and helpful 🙏
Ally our driver & guide was exceptional. He is super knowledgeable about the Serengeti, friendly, relaxed and open to whatever we wanted to do & wherever we wanted to go. We couldn't have asked for more.
Having been to the Kruger & Nambia we were expecting similar experiences. We had no real idea how completely unique and stunning the Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater were. We do now and will be returning to Tanzania as our favourite East African country & safari destination ❤️
We would highly recommend Topy Tours for all the reasons above and we will use them again!

Great life experience
The tour was a great experience that we will never forget. Uncomplicated pre-planning and pick-up as well as the great tour with our guide - easy, friendly and exciting, communicating in English was no problem. Our guide did his best to make sure we saw everything, so we went home with no wishes left unfulfilled. Big 5 ticked off! Accommodations were as expected and vegetarian meals by arrangement were no problem. We would recommend it to anyone.

23 Days Kilimanjaro Trekking and Safari in Tanzania and Kenya
We had booked an 8 day Kilimanjaro trekking on the Lemosho route followed by a safari trip across Tanzania and Kenya. For the Kili part of our trip Safariline subcontracted to a local Tanzanian operator (Seven Wonders), who did an amazing job. All five members of our group made it to the summit, and we felt very well looked after throughout the entire experience. We also very much enjoyed the friendly and good natured atmosphere they created around us.
For the safari part we had asked Safariline for budget accommodation, so we could save a little money. They picked a variety of campsites, fixed-tent camps and hotels, which - with a single exception - were all quite good and allowed for an attractive price. I particularly enjoyed the Nyati Safari Camp at Amboseli which was very comfy and had a gorgeous view of mount Kilimanjaro.
Organization was generally good. Rose, the manager, was always easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to any questions or requests we had. There was a small hickup when they changed the schedule in Kenya without notifying us. (They only rearranged the order of things. Nothing was left out.) For a while that had me worried I might not catch my flight back home. It all went well in the end, but I could have done without the added suspense.
The heart of any safari is of course the game viewing. For us that was more than excellent, which to no small part was owed to our two drivers. They took us to all the major parks of the region. Both of them were highly skilled in the art of finding the best spots and then positioning the car in such a way that we would have the best possible view. The animal encounters we had far exceeded my expectations.
I would recommend Safariline to a friend any day.

Excellent service from start to finish.
My experience with Wayfaire was exactly what I needed. It started with the wonderful Kate Kilmartin who designed 4 country safari for me. As a single female travelling to Africa safely was paramount. I was not let down. There was no place I stayed that I didn’t feel safe. The staff on the ground were friendly and efficient. Every place had luxury accommodation and the food was phenomenal.
The concierge Service provided by Chanelle Cook was equally amazing. Chanelle was in contact regularly to ensure that my trip was meeting my expectations. When my main luggage was lost between Victoria Falls and Kilimanjaro Airport. Chanelle handled everything in a professional manner and found my luggage. She ensured that all protocols were followed and I did not have to worry about getting it back. Chanelle was in contact with me at every stage of my trip.
Here are my personal favourites.
Kwando Safaris (4 Rivers). Kate knew this was a place I would like. Kate I didn’t just like it… I loved it. It was more than Phenomenal Safari sightings that made this place special. It was a privilege to sit down with the staff at the end of the day and share our experiences.
Kirurumu Serengeti North Camp was wonderful. Looking out of my tent and seeing wildebeest grazing right outside was surreal.
A shout out to Duma/Alika Africa for their support, dedication and problem solving to ensuring I had the best single person safari.
This was a bucket list trip that did not disappoint. I would travel with them again and highly recommend Wayfair to other people.

Nice budget trip
It was a memorable safari on budget,guide dalton was spot on when it came to various wildlife analysis
Though have taken out 1 star because we missed top of the falls in murchison and we also had Afew issues with the vehicle
Generally it’s a highly recommended company when it comes to customized tours and budget travels
