The Best Holiday so far!
The holiday that Experience Africa organized for me and my boyfriend was amazing. We had fun, we relaxed and had great meals in the middle of the savanna and had awesome game drives with the best guide ever - Roy and Tasha.
There are no words to describes Debbie's customer service skills and her ability to meet your expectations.
I'm already planning another trip for the next year.
I recommend Experience Africa to all my family and dear friends.

Very professional
We have used Frate Tours for 2 consecutive years for our short term mission trips to Kenya. We highly recommend their services. The office help communicates well before and during the trip and is very accommodating. The drivers are safe, on time and very courteous. If you are looking for a reliable service try Frate Tours.

Absolutely amazing experience with people who were able to make our time there enjoyable!!!
Tanzania Serengeti Adventure was an amazing tour company to go with on a trip to Tanzania with Roosevelt University! Not only were all of our drivers very knowledgable about everything we drove past, including even when we were on the freeways and had questions, but they were also very kind people that wanted to make sure we were as safe as could be. I cannot say anything bad about Filimon, James, or Bryson because all three are great men that I was very blessed to get the pleasure of knowing on the trip! I highly recommend using this company and especially the driver James who I was with most of the trip because I know that he will make sure you are happy and he just enjoys making everyone's day brighter on top of being an amazing driver!!

A perfect 5 day safari
A fantastic Mikumi and udzungwa safari, well orchestrated and timely delivered. Everything was organized beautifully and seamlessly. The hotel in udzungwa messed up our rooms but we only came to know of it as an aftereffect, the safari company took care of it all and kept the nuisances and distractions of travelling in Africa well away from us including some special meal requests we had. Great car, very knowledgeable driver and lots of untouched wilderness - nothing more needed!

Great memorable trip. Perfect organization. Fantastic guide in all aspects (thanks Cornel)
There were no problems during the trip. Everything worked perfectly: Cleanliness, punctuality, Great Hotels, vehicle. Much of the success of the trip was the guide. Cornel speaks English and Spanish perfectly. Localized animals away with astonishing ease. Sympathetic. With environmentally conscious. He loves his country. Polite and discreet. Drive safely. Highly recommended agency and guide

Perfectly cost-effective and excellent customer service!
We had a 5-day budget safari in an excellent price and we were very pleased with pretty much everything. The food was good and our guide was experienced and knew a lot about the animals and wildlife. We also saw a lot and the route was well-planned!
We stayed in camp-sites and slept in tents so warm clothes and some adventurous spirit were needed and there was not much room in the car for any extra luggage. However the car itself was clean and comfortable.
The customer service gets full five stars! The company replied all our emails and questions fast and provided a good accommodation in Arusha and also helped us with other things e.g getting buss tickets.
The company was also very flexible with the payment as we had trouble with getting dollars.
All in all nothing luxurious or fancy - but excellent customer service and very enjoyable and wonderful safari!
Tanzania Safari 11 days Serengeti and Ngorongoro 20-30 may 2014
The organisation of the safari communication, travel, accommodation and food was excellent. We travelled in a small convoy (3 vehicles)and we felt safe at all times. Our driver Hubert Modest was a very good driver, had a wide knowledge of the animals and their habits and where to find them. He added immeasurably to our enjoyment of the safari. We would recommend this safari to all.

Wonderful company! Fabulous experience!
We can't recommend this tour group highly enough! Before our trip, we were easily able to communicate directly with the owner Brian and his colleague in the US, Ken, to customize a two week tour just for the six of us. Sammy was our guide - highly knowledgeable, patient with those of us who kept telling him to stop for yet another picture, reliable, and very entertaining. Sammy could identify every bird and beast we saw, had a great eye for photography, and knew right where to situate our vehicle for the best animal viewing! Brian's tented camp in the Serengeti was one of our favorites - the food was great and the service excellent (including someone to do our laundry!), not to mention the wildebeests and zebras everywhere. We'd highly recommend a trip to Lake Natron where you can see thousands of flamingos and hike to a beautiful waterfall on the Ngerasero River. And be sure to hike down into Empakai Crater. And finally, definitely go hunting with the Bushmen and stop to meet the Datoga tribe. Ecological Wilderness Adventures truly made our trip the experience of a lifetime. Call or email them if you have any questions. They will be quick to respond.

Amazing Trip - Fantastic Team at Naenda!
My friend Adrienne and I went on a 3-night, 4-day safari with Naenda last month, and I couldn't recommend this team more highly. Abidan, the manager, was so helpful in arranging everything we wanted (including a trip up to Lake Natron to see the flamingos), and coordinating with me back here in the states (while my travel companion was living in Rwanda). We organized a private tour, and couldn't have been happier with our circuit, which included Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater, Serengeti, and ended with Lake Natron.
Our driver, Juma, and our cook, Machinaa, were both wonderful. Juma was extremely knowledgable about the animals (maybe even more impressive because my friend is a conservation biologist and very knowledgable herself), and Machinaa was so friendly, light-hearted, and a great addition to our little team.
Abidan and the team at Naenda goes above and beyond in every aspect to make sure you have a wonderful trip. They even had cots for us when we camped at both Serengeti and Lake Natron sites - what a treat!
I have recommended Naenda already to several friends planning trips to Africa, and encourage you to use them yourself.
Thanks again Abidan, Juma, and the entire team at Naenda, for making my first safari the best trip ever!

Zimbabwe! 2 weeks, 3 parks: lizards, lions, camping, walking, learning, laughing!
My 3rd time in Zim with Mike & Bernard of Khangela Safaris. These guys never disappoint! Nobody can find a lion like Bernard can! Between the driving, the walking, the cooking and the tracking of animals, every trip with Khangela brings me back to life when I have had too much of the modern world. I sleep better in those tents and on those mattresses than anywhere else. The food was fabulous (and I am a vegan), the company was great fun and we saw giraffes, ground horn bills, lions and more lions, cave paintings, elephants all over the place, and buffalo (on cue). My personal highlight?: I had a wonderful hike over the summit of a lichen-covered whale-back at sunset in the boulder-filled splendor of Matopos park which I will never forget! Bernard works magic, Mike is organized and tirelessly funny. A creative, functional low-impact camp set-up which is a joy to wake up in and return back to daily. I'll be back.
