13-day Uganda safari & gorilla tour
In our opinion Uganda is underestimated in terms of a safari venue. We have been on 3 previous safaris, Kenya/Tanzania, Botswana/Zambia and South Africa. Uganda is right up there with the best. We only went to see the gorillas, but we were pleasantly surprised at the other animals we saw. We particularly liked the Murchison Falls National Park, a lovely location where the Nile is forced through a narrow gap and we saw a whole range of wild animals including elephant, giraffe, buffalo & lions. The gorilla tracking was a wonderful experience, we were lucky enough to find them quite quickly and our family had 3 silverbacks, which we saw all at once. The accommodation and food were fine. Our driver/guide, Paul, was excellent, we felt safe and well informed. We were the only two on the safari and it was fantastic to have the bus to ourselves. We could open the roof to get up and down to take photos whenever we chose and we could set our own pace. Having now been on two independent safaris, we have found it is far better than being on a group tour and no more expensive. We used Aga & Aba Gorilla Tours Ltd and we would thoroughly recommend them.

An African Dream Come True...
I had always wanted to make this Africa trip for such a long time and finally my dream came true just this last May. The trip organized by Expedition Kenya Safari was extraordinary. It had everything I expected and more. Selecting Expedition Kenya Safari was the best decision we made.
Patrick, the safari planner was as excited about our trip as we were. He patiently worked with us answering all our safari questions and providing great information that helped us plan our safari. Best of all was the quick and timely manner that Patrick responded to all our emails and phone communications.
Meshack, our marvelous guide, greeted us at the airport and guided us through the whole trip. He was not only knowledgeable about animals and native customs he was patient while always delighting us with a great sense of humor. This was especially helpful given the roads in Kenya.
Meshack was able to find the animals for us and gave us great photo opportunities. He was not only our guide but our mentor and we are very grateful to him for introducing his country and sharing it with us.
All of our accommodations were more beautiful and comfortable than we expected, each with it’s own flavor and lush. Even, one tented camp site in the Maasai Mara was the most luxurious tent I have ever stayed in but at the same time so atmospheric for being in the middle of a national game reserve.
Not only did we experience beautiful sunsets and game drives but could choose optional visits to tribal villages where the Samburu, Turkana and Maasai performed native rituals and dances for us.
Another option was a gorgeous hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara culminating with a Champagne breakfast.
I highly recommend Expedition Kenya Safari to anyone even contemplating an African Safari.
Thank you Patrick and Meshack for helping me realize my fantasy, the African Dream.

Trip of a lifetime!
I would like to thank Brian and Baraka for putting together a custom 6 day trip of a lifetime for me and Kappia for being an excellent driver, guide, and companion on my trip. For my photography tour, I was taken to all the best wildlife locations , stayed in excellent accommodations with perfect service and world class food. The Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Parks are unforgettable and the close encounters with a wide variety of wildlife is second to none.

What an incredible experience that I'll never forget!
I now realize how lucky I was that my first visit to Kenya, and indeed Africa, was with Sylvester. Quite simply, Kenya is in his blood and you would not want to go on Safari without his key briefing. His passion and endless energy made everyday of the trip so enjoyable. Every moment was an exciting lesson on Kenyans beautiful wildlife and landscape. I would not consider going on safari without Sylvester leading the way. I highly recommend that you take his tours and recommendations for places to stay and visit while on your trip to Kenya.

From the moment we arrived until our departure we were well looked after and always informed about all aspects of our trip. I would recommend Simba Safaris to anyone thinking of taking a safari in Tanzania.

Thank you and l wish to recommend all guys to call the for tour guide and exposure.

Wonderful Service & Holiday
The trip was amazing! Thank You so much for you help!!! From the initial planning to the end, it was easy and efficient with Chris. We loved it.
Unfortunately no bait balls or much action at all down in Port St. Johns. The diving at Aliwoal Shoal was great though, and we enjoyed the time with the whales and dolphins.
The SAFARI however was INCREDIBLE!!!! The lodge was spectacular and we saw everything we hoped to see and more... the best part of the trip for sure.. Amazing place!
We got heaps of great photos and endless memories :-)
We had so much fun and already ready to go away again...hahaha
So happy we found your website as your knowledge helped us plan a trip we'll never forget.. Would recommend your service to friends and family, and already thinking about our next trip.

A trip of a lifetime
Warning. This type of safari is not for everyone. If you are disturbed by being woken in the middle of the night by lions calling next to your tent, or the calling of hippos throughout the night, or elephants making themselves at home in your campsite, then this safari is not for you. But, if you are like me, and love the thought of sleeping in the middle of the African bush (without fences ), then this is the trip of a lifetime.
Our first night, we had hippos passing by our tent, and elephants quietly snapping branches beside us. I'll admit, even though I've done these type of camping safaris before, it still takes a night to reaclimatize to the sounds of the bush. And to be woken in the morning by a lion calling directly behind my tent? AMAZING! The scenery is great, and the sightings top notch. The only one of the big 5 that is sadly absent is the Rhino. But definitely worth going. We stayed at Linyanti adventure tented camp, and the staff there were amazing. Our guide Francis, supplied by Wilderness safaris, is one of the most experienced guides I have ever met. He has superhuman tracking skills, and his quiet, confident manner had us all relaxed and happy. I was only in Linyanti for 3 days (of a 10 day camping safari), but they were an amazing 3 days that will never be forgotten.

Perfect Kilimanjaro Climb
Java Safaris planned and booked our 8 night/9 day climbing adventure on Kilimanjaro for my son, another family member and me. The trip went flawlessly and the staff at Java made sure everything was in order. Catherine at Java answered a million questions before the trip with patience and precision. The accommodations before and after the climb were luxurious and the mountain guide was excellent. Professional, well trained and well equipped. I have already recommended Java Safaris to many friends and family back home.
