wonderful
It's a wonderful trip with Serengeti smile! You can't believe that we saw the wildbeast crossing the river 4 times in one day! Jeremiah always responses quickly online. Our guide Peter shared many knowledge with us.

Avoid at all costs
Image travel took my booking for $US 4,500 for a 5 day safari, and became impossible to contact after I paid for my trip. They did not respond to my e-mails and were not reachable by telephone. Less than 48 hours before I was to be picked up at my hotel in Nairobi, and after my flight had left Canada, they sent me an e-mail stating that they were not able to operate my tour and that they would be refunding my payment.
They have remained unreachable for almost 2 weeks now after sending me that notice and they have not refunded my payment. Check a similar review on Tripadvisor from September. I believe they have either gone out of business or are still "selling" tours to unsuspecting clients and absconding with their money. Now I must seek legal action.
Safari Bookings should no longer be including them in their referred list of Tour Operators.
Avoid!

Amazing tour experience with Suricata Safaris
The safari was amazing! We were welcomed and briefed by Mr Daniel, who listened to our requirements and reviews. Our guide Mr Freddy was knowledgable and attentive - he was very informative and guided us safely, and helped us spot many many animals, while providing interesting trivia for everyone. Accommodation was also fantastic - the company worked hard getting us the best possible places to rest, while still letting us have as much time on the safaris as possible. The tour was indeed worth every penny and we would love to come back again next year! Thank you.

Excellent group Safari
We had a really good group Safari. We saw all the big fives. We stayed at budget camping, the places where we stayed were all very nice except for the second night in Serengeti (very bad bathrooms at the camping).
Thanks to our guide David that found all the animals and thanks a to our chief Mathew for the delicious food he made for us. I suggest Kilipath Safari!

They are fantastic!
Had a fantastic experience in Kenya with Ramja Safari, from start to finish. Even in the planning stages Steve was wonderful, responsive and accommodating, reworking things until we got exactly the camps and dates we wanted. Upon arrival, everything was executed perfectly. The camps were spectacular as were Amboseli, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. Our 2 guides, Thomas and Naftali, were both expert and passionate and extremely kind and caring. I highly recommend Ramja to take care of everything!

Very competent, knowledgeable and kind!
We had the most amazing day with Kihindo Safaris in Mikumi National Park!! The communication was great with Winnie beforehand as she organised everything for us. They picked us up straight from our accommodation which was so easy and convenient! The train ride was also very smooth, but do remember to NOT bring any snacks or water with you, as they are not allowed on the train to Morogoro.
We were then picked up by our guide for the day, Saloniki, by the train station. The drive was only about 1h50 to the park. When we got there we met our driver Jackson and started our game drive through the park. We got very lucky with all the animals that day, and part of that is because of both Saloniki and Jackson being amazing guides for us!
Water, lunch (with soda) is included which was super nice.
Couldn’t recommend more!!

Excellent service by Chanelle and the Wayfairer team
It was our first time in a Safari trip and we were very thoroughly impressed by the service of the Wayfairer and AlikaAfrica team. Everything went as planned and we wished we had more time in the Ikeliani Lodge which was an absolute dream

The most amazing experience
We booked a 6-day private safari with Colours Africa for our honeymoon and it was the best part of our stay in Tanzania. Everything was very well organized, we just had to know what time to be ready in the morning and they took care of all the rest.
The lodges they picked for us were a dream, so beautiful, very clean and with very nice staff. All meals are included and the food is great, we loved that it was always local dishes. We'd have lunch at the conservation area everyday, the driver would have a picnic prepared and we liked that he never used disposable containers.
Last but not least, our driver, Benjamin, was just the best! spending a full week with him, we were afraid it would be awkward, but he is so nice and so much fun. He told us many intersting facts about animals and Tanzania, he is very experienced in game drive and knows the roads within the parks as the palm of his hand.
Thank you for making such a special life experience happen. We totally recommend them and they're totally reliable for organizing such kind of activity from abroad.

Perfect Safari - Total recommendation for African Big Cats Safari!
African Big Cat Safari organized us a perfect safari week!
From start, picking us up at the airport, till the end everything was above and beyond our expectations.
Customer Service
Great and fast email support during booking and payment process.
On the first and last evening the Operations Manager Mr. Emanuel stopped by to discuss expectations and intinery making sure everything is aligned. On the last day he was asking for feedback, improvements and whether our expectations have been satisfied.
Guide
Our private guide Dominick picked us up from the airport and gave us a warm welcome. He was with us all time and made sure that everything was perfect for us and we didn’t had to worry about anything. He was very knowledgable about the wildlife, area, traditions and everything we asked about. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide.
We felt save and in good hands all the time. Thanks!
Food
We appreciated the “Hampa” fresh cooked meals for lunch during the game drives. It surely depends on the accommodation, but we were always provided with good and traditional foods at lodges and tented camps.
Accommodation
We booked a semiluxery safari with lodges and tented camps. Especially the tented camps are ideal to experience the wildlife and you still don’t miss out on anything.
Overall we can highly recommend African Big Cat Safari for your safari experience.

Knowledgeable
We loved this 4 day 3 night safari. Baraka was an amazing guide! He was so informative and made sure to answer all the questions we had for him. He asked us what animals was our favorite and tried his hardest for us to see them! We ended up seeing The Big Five with all of our days combined. Baraka was so patient as we took our pictures and made requests. Another stellar part for me was the vegan options! Before I embarked on the safari they asked what exactly a vegan diet entailed. For every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) I was prepared a separate, vegan friendly option, or made sure there was enough portions of veggies and rice for me. Chef James made sure I knew what I could have and I knew I was safe as he said things like “this has eggs and cheese so I prepared this for you instead”. Besides fitting my dietary restrictions everything was delicious! So flavorful. This was a great experience and I highly recommend!
