A knowledge, kind soul who truly cares about making sure guests have an amazing time.
We did the 3-day, 2-night safari tour and had an absolutely amazing time! Our group of 12 women was well taken care of by Patrick and his team, who were incredibly patient and attentive throughout the trip. The exceptional service started even before the safari, as Patrick organized a group chat to help us communicate, ask questions, and prepare for the experience.
Our adventure began in Nairobi, where half of our group was picked up for a scenic road trip, while the other half flew to the destination. The ride was safe, comfortable, and filled with fun conversations. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delicious lunch, setting the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable trip.
That same day, we enjoyed our first game drive, and it was an incredible experience. Patrick and his team went above and beyond to ensure we made the most of our time. Over the course of the safari, we were thrilled to see all of the Big Five, with the lions being my personal favorite! We were lucky enough to see them on two different days, which was a highlight for me.
After the safari, we spent a full day back in Nairobi, where Patrick’s team organized visits to the iconic Giraffe Manor, followed by a delightful lunch and dinner. The entire experience was seamless and perfectly planned, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a well-organized, safe, and unforgettable safari experience. Thank you, Patrick, and the team, for making this trip so special!

Professional, knowledgeable and courteous
Big Apes Africa is a top choice for safari bookings in Uganda. The manager Peter warmly welcomed me to the country as soon as my flight landed in Uganda. Then my guide Gerald took me on a safari journey that's once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend Big Apes Africa to anyone seeking a memorable safari tour in Uganda!

Elisante is a wonderful driver and guide.
In August of 2024, I had the privilege of being on safari in Tanzania with Elisante with a different group as one of our drivers though he clearly could have been guiding the trip. He has an extensive knowledge of the animals and region which he freely shares with everyone. He has a very pleasant and happy personality. He was very easy to work with and clearly puts our needs as a priority doing everything he could to make every aspect of our trip as easy and fun as possible. He definitely knows how to speak to hippos and make them want to come your way for a closer look. I would highly recommend working with him as a guide or in any other capacity on safari.

Rodger is an incredible guide who will get you right next to every animal before everyone else!
This tour is the best value for money I’ve ever come across. All meals are included and tasty, the 4x4 is very comfortable no matter what seat you’re in (my friend and I tried them all), and timing is reliable. The park is packed with animals so you’ll definitely see so many amazing creatures but our guide made the whole experience for us. Rodger was clearly very experienced from the moment we began. In the park he got us to so many locations to see lions, elephants, leopards, the list goes on and on. We were always one of the first people at each location and his driving skills are unmatched. I have already booked a second tour with him to Amboseli!!

Moses took care of everything for us from airport pickup until we were dropped off at the airport.
We had the best experience in the safari. All the Accommodations were great. I would highly recommend them to my friends. Our driver was super friendly and took care of everything for us.

Very good and amazing experience with Kimgoni! our guide Emmanuel is very professional, he knows everything about animals and flora, very friendly, very good organization, we were able to see the big eight in 3 days of safari and a very careful driver. The accommodations were extraordinary with extremely kind people. And we ate very well all along the safari. Without hesitation we will go back with Kimgoni

Amazing service!
We chose African Big Cats to organize our honey moon safari trip. It was without a doubt the best decision we made. Starting from an excellent communication to plan the trip. They were super flexible to modify their luxury standard plan according to our requirements. Then during the trip the guide/driver had an incredible knowledge of the Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and all the animals we encountered, and he had a really good attitude all the time. The food in the lodges and the lunch boxes were amazing as well. Most of important of all we feel that the value for the money was very good.
I will definitely work with them again if we have the chance to come back.
Asante-sana African Big Cats!

Fabulous, accommodating, and on the ball, Nature Travel Namibia handled every detail.
So I found Nature Travel Namibia through an acquaintance in my hometown. Obviously, it’s less expensive to go through a local company than through American tour operators, but without the recommendation, I don’t know that I would have chosen a local company like NTN. I’m so glad I found them!! I worked with a lovely woman via email who planned the private trip with me. We wanted to see Sossesvlei in Namibia and go on Safari, and we wanted to see South African culture. Our tour operator gave us both, and dealt with our dietary needs (2 vegetarians and a GF kid.) To say we ate well is an understatement. I gave a short list of what we were looking for and she provided. My girls and I had studied Apartheid, and we wanted to see Soweto and Constitutional Hill; my husband is a photographer and wanted to see leopards and rhinos. We moved around a lot, and there was someone waiting for us at every stop. My anxiety levels were low after we met our first guide: the whole thing was almost too easy for us! It was a wonderful trip, and when I asked to be tour guide-free in Cape Town at the end, NTN set us up at a convenient location for walking and left tickets at the hotel for Robben Island. Honestly, I cannot stress this enough: NTN took care of us! I was in contact with them only once during the trip, and that was just to say thanks. The guides they gave us were not only competent, but fun to be around. They stuck to our budget, and found ways to stretch it. Seriously, don’t hesitate to use them. They really know what they’re doing. It was a trip of a lifetime for us, and we met some really wonderful people. I feel enormous gratitude for Nature Travel Namibia, and I am already planning to use them again to see Vic Falls and the Okavango Delta: we just need a few years to make that happen. 🤗

Incredible!
A honeymoon which was a real
Dream come true! We had an incredible unforgettable time and lion king was great throughout the process including providing information pre booking and ease of payment/booking etc. the real star of the show was our guide gamma! We saw more animals than we could have ever imagined and were actually sick of seeing animals by the end. He knew exactly where to go at what time and gave us the perfect nuggets of info at the right times while keeping us fully engaged. He was funny knowledgeable and our trip would not have been nearly as good without him. I will be 100% recommending lion king and specifically gamma to friends and hope to go on another tour with him very soon!
