The operation is trustworthy
Dan arranged this 6-day trip very smoothly.
The whole journey is a one-stop service, including round-trip flights, transportation and all meals and accommodations.
He explained the Lalibela churches in great detail and patiently answered our questions, fully demonstrating his native knowledge and professionalism.
Afterwards, he accompanied us on a seven-hour drive from Lalibela to Semera, which seamlessly connected to another journey to Danakil Depression. We passed many checkpoints with guns on the way, but he was able to handle them all with ease and we passed through them smoothly.
Danakil's journey which he entrusted agency was very competent. I have to praise the drivers for being careful and safe. Although the road was bumpy, we felt comfortable sitting there. I have to praise our tour guide Tesfa. He said I belong to lava ,this sentence told me how professional knowledge he did. What's more, he handled the guests' dissatisfaction calmly and with high emotional intelligence (but I think those were the tourists' own problem). I was deeply impressed by him.
This trip is beyond criticism and I sincerely recommend Dan to anyone who comes.

Absolutely the best!
I have already written this in my Tour company review, but I will try to remember the main points. Dexter is an incredibly talented driver, with safety always foremost in his actions. We had a very poor “ Official” Tour Director and Dexter took on many of those duties, so that our trip was wonderful, Despite the official director. He is such a warm caring individual. He knows everything there is to know about the country in the parks And he is incredibly funny. Several of our fellow travelers were envious that we were assigned to the “ Dexmobile.” My favorite pictures are photos that he suggested taking - And the really good ones are the ones he took for us ! Not only did we have an incredible time, mostly due to Dexter’s help and understanding, but I felt like I left Kenya with a new friend. Just a wonderful person to spend time with. And as I said before, he could not possibly be any better at his job. He excel that everything.

I am extremely happy and inspired traveling with Avocat Tanzania Safaris
I had an unforgettable experience traveling with Recent avocat Tanzania Safari. avocat team they were very friendly answered all my questions and they arranged a nice trip for me. I traveled to Ngorongoro Cratel, Serengeti National Park, the scenery was breathtaking and the natural environment was spectacular. I saw tigers, elephants, deer, giraffes, buffaloes and many birds flying in flocks in the which was a wonderful sight. They arranged a state-of-the-art lodge for me and the local food was very tasty and the quality was unmatched. I am extremely happy and inspired traveling with avocat Tanzania Safaris. They provide excellent service and guidance to their customers. I wish them all the best for their agency.

18 day safari
My wife and I have been to Africa 6 times and know what we want. Wild Jungle Trails was willing to create a custom trip and give advice on each aspect of the trip with a series of emails and Whats App phone calls. We also booked a couple lodges on our own. They helped evaluate lodges that we reviewed on Trip Advisor and gave accurate advice on how much time to spend at each of the 8 major parks and stops we made. They scheduled a custom domestic flight, sending a driver 2 days north to Kidepo to meet us at the airstrip and stay with us for 18 days. Most people do not spend that much time in Uganda. We were tired at the end, but not from any stress caused by any mistakes by the company.
Fred was our guide/driver. He quickly learned what we like and successfully helped to pace us while not missing anything on our self-created itinerary. We stopped numerous times for unplanned activities like spraying cattle with the locals, “helping” a tea harvesting group, paddling a dugout canoe, finding a fisherman to sell us a paddle for our paddle collection, visiting a pangolin sanctuary I found on Google Maps, helping buy gifts to deliver to our sponsored child and much more. His phone contact list is impressive, and he always knew who to call to make our trip smooth and fix any problems. He found lions and leopards on game drives through his connections with other guides he knew or met at our lodges the night before.
We requested a Land Cruiser, and their vehicle was always clean and was well maintained. Not an easy thing to do in Africa. Fred was a very safe driver in challenging conditions.
I consider managing expectations and communicating what is going to happen next the two most important aspects of guiding other than safety. I employed 35 guides a year for 34 years and know the tourism business. Fred communicated perfectly and was always ready on time if not early.
The main reason we chose Uganda was to visit mountain gorillas and chimps. Wild Jungle easily got our permits, and we successfully visited 2 gorilla families and a chimp family. Uganda’s permits are much less expensive that the other choice in Rwanda.
We chose the habituation hike with chimps and were glad we did. It wasn’t much more money, and we got quite a bit of private viewing time with the chimps. They took us to a family that was already habituated, but we got there before the crowds and stayed long after the crowd left.
Wild Jungle is a small company, and we liked the personal service that afforded. Their price was fair as well. We highly recommend Wild Jungle Trails if you are considering travelling to Uganda.

East Africa Solo Adventure: A Secure & Memorable Trip with Shavi Tours!
I traveled solo to East Africa with Shavi Tours, and I couldn't have felt safer or more welcomed. The team took the time to understand my preferences and created an itinerary that included the Selous Game Reserve and a hike on Mount Meru. The wildlife encounters were unforgettable, and I loved learning about the Maasai culture. Shavi Tours' dedication to quality and client satisfaction is truly commendable.
