Great safari guide and wonderful lodging!
Great safari guide and wonderful lodging!
My best friend and I went on a 10 day trip- 5 days safari and 5 days in Bwindi Gorillas. Our safari guide , Joseph,was amazing! He was able to spot animals from a distance without even using binoculars and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. The lodging- hotels and tented camps were beautiful and the food was great. We liked our lodge in Bwindi - a lot. The only issue is that its far away (about 8hrs drive from Kampala) from most of the main attractions in Queen Elizabeth -lion'giraffe,elephant,boffalllo ect. However, given that there are many other great places to to visit, I'd probably pick a chimps in Kibale everything else next time. The only small complaint we have is that the gentleman who arranged our tour, Peter after we deposited first payment he took 4 days to let us know where he got the money on his credit card but later we knew he was in Nerthalands. All in all, great trip and would use them again!
An amazing experience with family and friends.
From the start the communications with Chris were helpful and friendly. A very personal approach which we valued. Chris arranged the tour and explained what would be happening. From the time Nicky and Chris arrived at the hotel to collect us we were made to feel like valued friends, with every detail being taken care of. The truck is so comfortable, with a lot of thought about small details. The meals were delicious, and the accommodation chosen was carefully thought out to meet our requirements. Every effort was made to show us what we wanted, and we experienced a wonderful part of the world in all its glory, both with fauna and flora. The knowledge Chris and Nicky shared with us was amazing, and contributed to our whole experience. Thank You does not even begin to cover it.

Tailor made Safari vacation
Our 12 day vacation to Tanzania and Zanzibar was overall excellent. Safarihub recommended us with a very good mix of lodges consisting of tented and permanent lodges which was an experience by itself. There were some small areas of improvement for the lodges which I have detailed on trip advisor.
Initially we had asked several tour operators regarding our trip and we were happy to go with Safarihub due to their knowledge and exceptional customer service and to top things off the price was good. The driver and guide was super and we enjoyed array of conversations from American politics to fishing in Zanzibar. All in all a splendid trip.

An amazing adventure and the trip of a lifetime, we shared the vehicle with a few American tourists and enjoyed their company. We saw a lot of animals and will one day like to come back again for a longer safari and will use safarihub.

Excellent Tour & Safari Experience!
Claude has been doing this for years and it shows. From his laid back and honest manner to be able to match our needs with our budget. The driver/guide he connected us to was wonderful and the beautiful campsite as well as food went beyond my expectations. The Safari itself was lovely and we saw more than we dreamed of. I highly recommend booking through Claude for any travel you do in Kenya!

Went to Uganda with Matoke, 10 day tour. Wim provided many details during the planning of the trip regarding travel times (very difficult without local knowledge), camp and food accommodations, and activities. I was able to tailor the whole trip to my desires, and everything went beautifully. My guide was Musa, a long time guide, with lots of local insight to the culture, landscape, flora and fauna of Uganda. He clearly takes pride in being Ugandan, and travelling alone with him for 10 days was informative and always pleasurable. Our schedule included many long days, and Musa endured them all with a smile. I would not hesitate to recommend Matoke to anyone considering African travel, and would ask for Musa specifically if I return to the area.

Thank you for a wonderful Safari
Your planning was perfect and its execution was nearly flawless. We were particularly impressed with all the planning information you tirelessly and accurately gave us through the numerous emails we exchanged prior to our trip.
The locations were all excellent and there were none that we left without regret, whilst also of course looking forward to the next. The guides and camp teams were all impressive. We have returned with unforgettable memories, many close-up photographs to review. Among the highlights, the high number of leopards seen but most of all, the group of wild dogs that we saw in Serengeti. All lodges and camps were very good and perfectly located for ease of game viewing, a minute’s drive away and already some wildlife to see.
The guides were all very competent both in Kenya and Tanzania, many thanks to both of them, without their knowledge we wouldn’t have had such a thrilling safari experience.
Thank you all at Swift Travel for the wonderful trip.

A wonderful experience with Safari Partners
After 20 years, we finally got to take our dream trip to Africa to see the animals. The raw beauty of the land, the people, their stories and the animals were extraordinary. What made it it effortless was Chris at Safari Partners. He was recommended to me by my doctor and I would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone who wants to experience Africa. In addition to setting up a flawless itinerary, he was a great support when my wife had a medical crises in Kenya and we had to cut short the last part of or trip (she had a blood pressure of 80/32 when she got to the ER in Nairobi).
Friends asked asked if I'd ever go back. My answer is an unqualified YES! And, I would have Safari Partners make the arrangements.

Full days of magic safari experiences
We are a couple from Sweden who have experienced a fantastic 7 days' safari with Oltumure Tours and Safaris, from Arusha, Tanzania, February 14, to February 22, 2015.
Oltumure picked us up at the Kilimanjaro Airport with perfect timing, and everything got a nice start. The first and last night were spent in Arusha at a really comfortable hotel booked by Oltumure. The itinerary covered the Arusha park (walk with Ranger), Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire.
We chose a tent safari to come closer to the nature. Also a private jeep that we shared with our driver and guide Victor John, which contributed to a family feeling. Victor has a sixth sense in predicting and spotting interesting animal doings. He is a guy that likes to deliver maximum performance. Often we were first on site, at sunset, and last to leave after a full day of magic experiences. We really appreciated this ambitious attitude which suited us perfect. We got close encounters with cheeta, leopards, lions, elephants, giraffs, wild beasts, water buffaloes, zebras, and many, many more animals. Thanks to Victor's highly professional knowledge about the animals' behaviour and movements, our safari became an absolute success. Victor - you are just amazing!
We also enjoyed the meals served by our cook Gabriel. The food was well composed and varied, and tasted wonderful. Thank you, Gabriel!
All the Oltumure team worked well together and were always of good humour. We were also accompanied by another Oltumure jeep with two guys. These fellows gave us many laughs and were perfect companions during breaks and meals. We miss them, haha!
The arrangements and the safari schedule were perfectly organized by Oltumure. They appear to be a very flexible and ambitious company, and we wish them all the best for the future. Our warmest thanks to Robert, CEO of Oltumure who delivered all we could wish for.
We did a very thorough survey over safari operators before we decided to go with Oltumure. In the end, it was a combination of quick answers, a good feeling where "7 day safari is 7 day safari", a competitive price and very positive reviews. We can highly recommend Oltumure Tours and Safari, and would not hesitate to go with them on a safari again.
Thanks for everything from a cold Sweden - Hej då och tack för allt.
