Great organization and trip support
5/5

Had a great experience with Phine Safaris. Kelvin was really supportive during the previous decisions and during the trip and our guide Mr. Julius was extremely nice and kind with us. To organize a trip with them is a great idea in all aspects!!. Thanks!!

Mixed experience but kept asking for 5 star review
3/5

We had a mixed experience on our 4 day safari. Our first three days were very good, but our final day they changed our group and car which led to a lot of sitting on side of road or on curb waiting. We were never communicated with about what was happening. If you have the same group/guide I say you'll have a better experience but we were not told till 10pm before our 6am tour start that we were to have two different groups. We found the communication poor - at the end when they meet you they kept pushing for us to give 5 star review rather than listening to our experience and feedback. The food on the tour was excellent and our jeep was very good.

The best experience with the best company
5/5

If you want to have an unforgettable experience, go on your safari with Porcupine Expeditions. Initially, we booked for 3 days, but with the amazing service and facilities provided by Ana and Juliana, we ended up staying for 6 days. We’ll definitely be back. 200% recommended. Thank you so much for everything, ladies!

Last minute hotel change and no refund for hotel difference
2/5

The night before our tour after receiving our full payment, agency informed us of the hotels for our tour, two-thirds of which were different from the hotels we had initially confirmed. The point is that when we booked our trip more than three months ago, agency clearly wrote the hotels to be stayed at and broke down our total cost into each individual item, including the hotel cost of $3,210. Therefore, it is reasonable for us to know the actual cost of the changed hotels and ask for a refund of the difference, if any. However, when we asked agency to provide the relevant invoice, agency only provided an invoice for one hotel and then never responded again.

They never explained the reason for the hotel change. We had booked and paid a deposit more than three months in advance, but never received notice until the night before our trip. One of the hotels that was in the nature reserve was replaced with one in a town, so we had to spend an extra half day on transportation instead of game-driving. Most importantly, when we wanted to know the actual cost of the hotel, they responded with ignorance and silence.

Best experience we could have imagined.
5/5

Our 3-day safari to Amboseli and Tsavo West national parks was incredible. Our driver Dan was so knowledgeable, and had an unbelievable knack for finding the exact right spot for animals to walk right in front of our jeep. Communication beforehand was very clear and friendly. Pickup each morning was prompt. Lodging was very comfortable. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend Hyrax as a tour operator!

The Best
5/5

My sister and I were guided by Joseph Nyanzi through Uganda to see the chimps and the gorillas. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. My sister had traveled with them in 2018 so it was automatic to use Prime Safaris again. The experience that Cate Makanga planned for us was exactly as we had requested and a great value. The accommodations were the very best; location, comfort, service, security, food.
The experience with the chimps and gorillas was awesome. I never imagined we would be so close to the animals and that we would see so many. I had dreamed of this trip for so long and it did not disappoint.
If you plan a trip with Prime Safaris, request Joseph Nyanzi as your guide. Joseph is very experienced. He seems to know everyone in Uganda and is eager to share his knowledge and patiently answered our endless questions. Everyone we met was warm, friendly and proud of their country and of the nature that they protect.

Great Tour
4/5

15 Days Best of Kenya & Tanzania Safari
This was a wonderful trip with sighting of so many animals that we were continually amazed at the variety. This safari allowed us to get very close to the animals which was very special. I will treasure the viewing of so many lions that we saw on nearly every day of the safari.
The three main guides we had all incredibly knowable on all the wildlife and fauna. This enabled us to enjoy the spectacle of this tour even more. Having the guides assist us with the border crossing was a big help.
The accommodation was of a great standard. Even the tents we stayed in were very comfortable with all amenities. The camp staff who provided escorts back to our tent added a level of added safety. The only exception was the hotel in Nairobi which had a mattress that resembled a hammock
Food at all the camps and hotels was both plentiful and varied. The offerings were mainly buffets with only the camp in Masai Mara offering a choice at mealtimes.
The only disappointment in the whole trip was missing the great migration due to abnormal weather conditions.
Communication with Kenya Tanzania Safaris was at times a little patchy and could be improved.

Wonderful attention to details and our wants and needs
5/5

Tanzania Choice Safaris is an excellent, client based, go out of our way company. Nothing is too much to make the client happy and give them the best safari experience possible. I believe their prices are in line with other companies. One thing they have over other companies is no daily gas or mileage limits. They will take you as far and as long necessary to give the results you want.

Amazing value for money! Highly recommended
5/5

Wonderful experience on the 9-day Victoria Falls to Okavango Delta tour. Although the Victoria Falls were dryer than usual we still had a great time there with a private guide. The lodge was lovely with a beautiful pool. Chobe was amazing, great days full of activities. Camping in the Okavango delta was the best experience of my five week trip through Africa. The people, the bush walks, the stars, and just being there in nature without service or WiFi. It was special, and we saw way more animals than expected.

We mostly slept in tents, but that was fine and it adds to the experience. The operators were easy to reach and quick to respond to all your questions. Absolutely worth our money!

Ngorongoro Crater Adventure
5/5

At the last minute a small group of five friends I was leading on an aid trip to a rural village south of Dodoma decided they wanted a safari. With 2 weeks before departure Praise and his excellent staff arranged a two night full day trip into Ngorongoro Crater. Praise was in daily contact with me as the arrangements were made, picked us up at the airport, great safari and delivered my group of five to Dodoma for our aid work. Our guide Rashid was an excellent wildlife spotter finding us 3 rhinos, lions, Serval cat, he knew his birds which made us super happy and was pleasant and helpful. Can’t go wrong, I’d recommend Nyange to anyone!
