African Home Adventure Safaris - WONDERFUL SAFARI TOUR COMPANY
Where does one begin to write a review of a trip, when all one can say is "WOW"!!
Firstly, a huge thank you to Bryan and Albert Ouko from African Home Adventure Safaris and their Tanzania Partner, Benjamin Arunga from Arunga Expeditions and Safaris for all the work they put into building this amazing customized trip for us. We started with an idea for our travel plans and ran these ideas to many other companies. All of them, except African Home Adventure Safaris, tried to put our itinerary into a"canned package" that didn't meet our target trip. African Home Adventures worked with us and turned it into an epic 31 day journey through the hearts of Kenya and Tanzania. It covered 11 parks and conservancies with several extra curricular stops along the way. Through many emails and twists and turns, African Home Adventure Safaris made it happen and we couldn't be happier with the results. Nearly 100 lions, 30 plus cheetahs, 5 leopards, 60 plus rhinos and more other species than can be counted. Birds, Birds, Birds!! Unbelievable!! So many thanks to them all.
The trip through Kenya was epic, such a diverse country. The Isbania border crossing into Tanzania was seamless and Benjamin's tour guide was there to pick us up. we made our way through the magnificent parks of Tanzania with amazing results.
We were overjoyed with our wonderful safari trip!!
A huge thank you our Kenyan guide, Jared!! What a fine young man. We had so much fun while piling up the number of sightings. His big smile and heart-felt laugh still brings a smile to our faces and a warm glow in our hearts. Thank you so much, my "African son"!
And also a huge thank you to our Tanzanian guide, Servera, from Hrunga Safaris. Servera was such a gentleman and very professional. His expert knowledge of the animals and birds was superb. He taught us patience around the animals and that lead to great encounters when we saw them. Awesome work my friend!
Winnerson who lead my trek up Mount Kilimanjaro was awesome as well. His great knowledge of the mountain and its flora and fauna was incredible. He had amazing patience to see me up and down the mountain successfully. He guided me and his team so well and as unit they supported me all the way. Just a great group of people, with great memories forever.
So many people to thank. Memories of this trip will last and be on the highlight reel of our lives.
The accommodations ranged from luxury tented camps which really brought out the feel of an African Safari to magnificent lodges with epic views across the woodlands and savannas. Each and everyone were different and wonderful.
A big shout out to the staff and members of the camps and lodges. The people of Kenya and Tanzania were amazing. So friendly and helpful. Not a single disparaging moment in our entire trip. Truly warm and caring. Another key part to the success of our trip.
To anyone planning a great trip, this team was awesome. They will get you there with great accommodations and planning with a big variety of different experiences. You will not be disappointed.

Terrific experience!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kerry, and we can't recommend her highly enough! From start to finish, she was a joy to work with- attentive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her recommendations were spot-on and tailored perfectly to my needs, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.
Kerry took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided thoughtful, well-informed suggestions that truly elevated my experience. Her attention to detail and personalized approach made all the difference.
Thank you, Kerry, for making this such a wonderful and memorable experience. I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I wouldn't go with anyone else, these guys are the absolute best!
I have been on more than a dozen safaris, in Tanzania and South Africa. I would never go with anyone else. I am a control freak, and I turn over all my trip planning to Victor and Elena because they are really the tops! Accommodations are always comfortable with great food, every little detail is handled in advance, and most of all, their guides are THE most experienced. For a photographer this makes all the difference. Would you like to photograph a cheetah lying down, or one playing with its cubs? A lone elephant in the distance, or a whole herd coming right towards you? Will you see multiple leopards or will that remain a distant dream? I brought my husband along last year for the first time, and he loved it also! We stayed at a camp in Northern Serengeti that was THE most elegant luxurious caring place I have ever stayed. Don't miss this!

Exceptional guide and great clean jeeps
We had a 6 day safari in Tanzania March 11-16 and our guide was Amani Omary Rajabu.
The "closed" jeep with windows and open top possibilities was very nice and worked all the time.
Our guide was an amazing guide and driver. He is fluent in French and has a decent English but best off all he is extremely good at spotting the animals. We saw extremely many animals and very close up. He know the way around in Serengeti and knows where the are best chances to see eg lions.
We saw lions mating, resting etc. Leopard in trees with the dead antilope also in the tree.
We saw all kind of amazing situations with the animals and we really recommend that you ask for Amani Omary Rajabu to be your guide and driver as he is exceptional.

Great Tour a full days outing
Early start but that’s ok. From the total list of all animals in Kruger we saw 90% but 100% of the big five. It was an animal overload and so many photos and videos to keep us busy with memories

Well organised value for money.
From first contact Camptrek provided a well organised safari which exceeded our wildest dreams. One of the best things was our driver Eric who soon became a friend as well as a fountain of animal knowledge. His skill at finding rare animals was only rivalled by his skill driving on the game trails.

Brilliant safari, thankyou Camptrek.
I have given this 4 stars but would have liked to have given 5. The only thing letting this safari down was the interior of the jeep. The inside wasn't what we expected, all headrests were broken, reclining seats didn't work properly, windows rattled as seals missing etc.This was out first impression of the experience we were embarking upon and it wasn't a good one.
However my fears were unfounded as ,apart from this, it could not have been better.
Organisation was brilliant, itinerary was great, accommodation far exceeded our expectations and our driver, Eric was fantastic. He was so helpful, friendly and obliging, his knowledge of the various animals, birds etc was outstanding,we couldn't have asked for better. Thankyou Eric, you made our holiday an amazing experience.

A highly recommended 5 Star Company.
Ngoni delivered the most incredible experience I have had whilst travelling solo.
Booking and arranging the trip was easy; Sedrick took care of everything for me.
Tour options were varied and exciting.
I opted for the 8 day tour which included a chimp trek, game drives and gorilla trekking and was fortunate to be guided by Reagan.
Is there anything about East Africa this incredible man does not know?
Wow.
I will be hoping to return again next year.
For anyone who is considering planning a visit to Uganda for the experience of a lifetime, I say BOOK WITH NGONI…

A thrilling adventure story! Thanks to Aglow Safari!!!
This five-day safari was an exciting experience! A huge herd of elephants in Tarangire and the vibrant wildlife of Serengeti fascinate us. Watching the cheetah hunt in front of the guide's eyes was incredible! The Ngorongoro is like a treasure trove of nature - rhinos, zebras, flamingos and stunning landscapes make for a dreamy sight. The entire trip was meticulously planned, and every moment was memorable!
