It was an awful experience. They lie and steal your money.
Awful!!!The owner is a crook and the tour guide a liar.

This was a trip of a lifetime for our family!
Makasa was very professional and quick in all transactions. We had to tweek our dates several times and they were quick and happy to comply. Our driver was great! Kalebi became part of our family during our twelve days in Tanzania. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals! He truly seemed to love his job! All of our accommodations were better than we even expected. From our initial pick up at the airport, safari days, hotel accommodations, driver, drop off at airport at the end- every detail was well thought out and planned.

Great company and amazing guide
My wife, best friend and I booked an 7 night private safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara with Landside Adventure. We had an amazing time and would HIGHLY recommend this company. Specifically, our tour guide Solomon made a great trip into one we will never forget.
Planning: Booking a safari tour in Africa there is a lot harder than your standard vacation. There seem to be close to a hundred or more tour companies and unfortunately bad actors among them. We almost decided to cancel our entire trip because we had such a bad experience wiring money to another fraudulent company before finding Landside Adventure. Maxon at Roy Safaris was great to work with. Prompt, friendly and gave us helpful suggestions in preparing our itinerary. We are also amateur photographers, so she made sure we had the right equipment in our vehicle and a guide knowledgeable for this type of trip. We priced the same semi-luxury itinerary with several other companies and Landside Adventure was the most competitive.
Safari: I'm in my late 30s and being on safari for me brought back the excitement I felt being a kid in Disney. We were the first ones out of the camp and the last ones back in every day. Every morning we felt excited about the adventure our guide Tory would take us on that day. He was not only an expert at spotting animals, but also in knowing their behaviors and anticipating their movements. He helped us set up countless epic shots with his understanding of light and shooting angles. His passion for nature was evident and his knowledge of the country, parks and wildlife was impeccable. Most importantly he was always an absolute pleasure to be around. We considered ourselves supremely lucky to have drawn him.
Thank you Maxon and thank you Landside Adventure! Hope to be back as soon as possible!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!
My husband and I traveled from the USA to CapeTown, Kruger (for Safari) and Zambia (for Victoria Falls) for our first African adventure! Lizette did a fantastic job of listening to what we wanted to do, making suggestions of other things we should include and planning the most efficient route for us. The whole trip was perfect- we had transfers to and from all the airports, fantastic accommodations, wonderful guides at all the locations (Robin George was the best- he was our guide in Cape Town)! Safari is amazing- we did see the Big 5, and enjoyed the sundowner celebrations every evening :) We felt safe and well informed and we really enjoyed our trip- all thanks to Lizette! We will definitely be returning to Africa!

This company is a SCAM!! BEWARE!!
I did a 15-day tour booked with this company (they also call themselves Cheno Travel Safari Tours sometimes) ant it was just terrible!! They did not follow the schedule, didn´ t put us in the accomodations we were planned to stay. We never had water or lunch during our trips (but we paid for it!). It was just a big mess and we had to argue the whole way of our trip, until a point on the 10th day where our driver just abandoned us in our hotel in the Nxai Pans and never returned. We had to figure out a way to keep our trip by ourselves and they never refund us or made anything easier for us. We are still in touch with the Botswana Ministry of Tourism and the police as well to put these guys out of the market forever! If you don´t believe me, just ask for pictures of their cars and their tourism licenses before booking anything. All tour company cars in Botswana must have the logo of the company on the car door. Just ask to see what they have... We rode on an old honda fit without a/c... you just don´ t wanna any of this in your vacations!

Bwindi Gorilla/village experience was a once in a lifetime trip, well organised and planned
Right from the start when dealing with Jolie I knew that we'd picked the right agent to manage/organise our trip. Jolie and team were flexible and understanding in our changing requirements and assisted in making the initial payments as seamless as possible. The transfers/pickup process worked well, we had a great guide in Tom who accompanied us and drove us throughout the trip, he was able to answer our queries and had a solution to anything we needed. The Buhoma Lodge was superb, we enjoyed our stay immensely, the quality of the accommodation and food was first class. Finally the gorilla hike was amazing, this must be on everyone's to-do-list, the Bwindi park ranger and trackers made the hike as interesting and physically as least demanding as possible. Sitting with the gorillas for an hour was a moving experience one will never forget. Thanks again Achieve Global for making this a memorable and successful trip.

Someone we can trust
I traveled with 3 friends to Tanzania and Kenya, and we wanted to do a Safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro not so expensive (budget safari), so we started to do a vast research thanks to the Lonely Planet advices (some really nice agencies but expensive as well) and in safaribookings.com we found Safari Multiways with the best offer (price and quality), so we took contact with them and we always received a quick, kind and clear reponse of all the details that we wanted to know.
So, afte to compared like 10 different agencies or more, we chose Safari Multiways, for the price/quality rapport and we also had a really good feeling with his owner (Romeo).
Once being there, the services were as they describe it, really profesionnal, our guide (Omari) was nice outgoing person, profesional and always care about us to see all the best of the fauna. We really feel that he knows all about the fauna, parks and everything. Our cooker, Popo was really nice also, always with good food.
If I do another safari in north of Tanzania, I will not hesitate to do it with them !

Life changing trip made possible by the expertise and hospitality of Gorillas Homeland Safaris!
My wife and I did the 3 day Murchison Falls Safari and were quite simply blown away by the amazing guides who made this the trip of a life time! Davis and Meddie thank you so much! We hope to someday get back to do a longer trip and see the gorillas!
We appreciated being picked up and dropped off at our Hotel in Kampala, it made the trip so much easier knowing you had all the planning done and all we had to do was enjoy the scenery! We are so thankful for the great service you provided us..we honestly felt like we were travelling with two good friends who cared about our experience first and foremost.
We were so lucky to have elephants walk right in front of us with their babies...how amazing. And to also get to see giraffes/Hartbeests/warthogs/baboons/crocs/hippos/rhinos/hyenas/jackal/oribis/buffalos/waterbucks and so much more including all the bird species...just wow! Thanks to you so much for this trip!!!

Great experience, unforgetable safari.
I visited South Luangwa National Park with Kingfisher safaris and it was gorgeous. Lodge was amazing and all pre safari issues were sorted out very profesionally with Kingfisher staff. Will definetely repeat with them (doing Uganda in a few weeks ) in the future, since they are very good experts in Africa.
