Gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys
S2G Tours & Travels Rwanda Gorillas Was an excellent tour operator. The guide/driver Dan was with me the entire eight day trip. He was friendly and helpful and professional and his driving was always safe and careful. He assisted me in going through immigration at the Rwanda/ Uganda border. We were supposed to see gorillas in DRC but with consultation with Aron, the coordinator, it was decided that with the rebels overrunning Goma and getting close to the border, we shouldn’t take a chance of crossing into DRC. Aron was very involved in rearranging the itinerary on the fly, changing to see the gorillas in Uganda instead of DRC and going to a beautiful hotel on a lake with many islands. I saw everything that was promised just not as set out initially but as they say, this is Africa and you must be flexible and adaptable and not rigid and adamant. We spent an hour with a group of mountain gorillas. They were gentle and habitualised to humans. It was magical. Overall it was an excellent eight day tour and S2G Tours & Travels Rwanda provided everything that I wanted.

Outstanding Customer Service
Myself and my husband worked with Hitesh, the owner, for a couple weeks placing together the itinerary of one of our "bucket list" trips. We can't even begin to express how amazing Hitesh is. His communication is fast, pleasant and always super helpful. Never hesitated to answer any of my thousand questions. We decided to use a local Arusha based operator instead of the overpriced operators in Canada we got pricing from. He took all our stress out of our entire booking experience, he handled every blip we had along the way with speed, kindness and compassion. He touched base with us along each and every change of destination, flights, excursions, and just because. His entire operation is so well oiled and smooth. Every single person he had look out for us along the way (Shout out to our SUPER DUPER safari guide Hajii, big love!) treated us with the utmost respect, kindness and care one could ever imagine. No matter what we wanted, he fulfilled it. Don't hesitate to use Hitesh, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! We will be returning next year for sure! Safe Travels everyone and thanks again Hitesh for making our dream come to fruition!

They want the group tour experience to be as good as they would want for a family member.
We have worked with Mission Tour and Travel for more than 20 years. They have always provided excellent service. They have made planning our group trips very easy, from making our lodging arrangements in Nairobi to fly-in safari bookings. They made it easy to customize our trips to meet the specific needs of our groups. Trips they have assisted with have ranged in size from just 2 persons to as large as 30 persons.

Very caring and detail-oriented in providing a great experience for guests.
Mission Tour and Travel provided me (and seemingly the other group members) a wonderful experience. Our guide did a great job in identifying and explaining the behaviors of the many animals we were able to see on our safari. He was courteous, friendly, and always asked if we were "okay to move on", making sure everyone had a chance to take the photos they wanted. I always felt very safe in his driving ability, knowledge and experience in knowing how close we could get to various species without putting anyone in danger while optimizing photo opportunities. The drives were so enjoyable even if wildlife was not evident at the moment. I have nothing but wonderful memories from my experience.

Fantastic experience!
We loved the safari. The local culture, the enchanting nature and the friendliness of the people will remain in our hearts. The organization of the Selous Reserve was excellent... on time, perfectly organised, good food, a friendly, cheerful, competent and helpful tour guide (Abel). He helped us in various situations and we thank him for that. We will come back to visit you in the future!

Nice travel agent. The people are very nice.
The service was excellent, except that we agreed to pick someone up at the airport for free and subsequently asked me for a fee. The price was cheap, the accommodation was mediocre and the overall value for money was good. Recommend it!

Fantastic service from start to finish
Had quite a few questions before booking the trip, which the nice office staff were very helpful with.
We had a really good driver who was really good at spotting the animals and good food throughout the trips.
Everything seemed professional from start to finish

Unforgettable Safari Adventure in November
I recently had the opportunity to go on a safari in November that was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Jeff, was absolutely wonderful. His expertise and enthusiasm made the experience unforgettable as he managed to show us every animal present in the park. His passion for wildlife was infectious, making each sighting even more special.
The food provided during the trip was fantastic; every meal was a delight, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The variety and quality of the cuisine were beyond expectations.
Moreover, the staff was super friendly and accommodating, always making sure our needs were met with a smile. Their hospitality added a personal touch to the entire experience, making us feel like part of their family. What made this trip even more special was the surprise party they organized with the Maasai for my fiancé - it was a perfect celebration!
Overall, this safari was a dream come true, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable wildlife adventure. Five stars all around!

Life time Adventure
Our safari with Marhaba Escape Safaris to Serengeti and Ngorongoro was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! From the moment we were picked up, everything was perfectly organized, making the entire journey seamless and stress-free.
The Serengeti was breathtaking, with endless plains filled with wildlife. We were lucky to witness the Big Five up close, including a pride of lions lounging in the sun and a majestic leopard resting in a tree. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the animals and their behaviors.
Ngorongoro Crater was just as spectacular—descending into the caldera felt like entering another world. The density of wildlife was astonishing, and we even spotted a rare black rhino!
What made this safari truly special was the exceptional service from Marhaba Escape Safaris. The accommodations were top-notch, the meals were delicious, and every little detail was taken care of. Our guide was not only professional but also warm and friendly, making us feel at home throughout the journey.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience, Marhaba Escape Safaris is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!
