Excelent!
They took care of everything perfectly from the start! Rodah was always very attentive, and our guides were spectacular! We had Rio in Kenya and Eric in Tanzania. In both places, we were able to see the Big Five! We were very happy with the trip!!

Unforgettable solo adventure in Northern Ethiopia with Essence Ethiopia Tours
I booked a 10-day tour as a female solo traveler with Essence Ethiopia Tours and it was probably one of the best trips in my life. Tsehaynew, in the lead on organizing the logistics of my all-inclusive trip, and based in Addis, was very responsive since the first contact and ensured extremely smooth coordination. In the preparatory phases, he accommodated all my preferences in terms of itinerary and later, he remained flexible and attentive in order to adjust the trip, even along the way, to offer the best experience. Starting from Addis, my itinerary included Lalibela, Gondar, the Simien Mountains National Park, Bahir Dar, the Danakil Depression and Axum. In each location, a dedicated driver and guides were waiting for me, and I had guided tours every day of my trip, which contributed enormously to my understanding of the places I was visiting. All of the staff I met on my way, coordinated by Tsehaynew, were extremely cordial. In terms of safety/security, the Gondar-Bahir Dar area axis demands caution due to the prevalence of anti-government militias. I would recommend minimizing road transfers as much as possible, while rather reaching the various destinations by plane to ensure a safe experience. The domestic flight network is indeed very well organized, flights are very short (1 hour at most), and with the help of Essence Ethiopia Tours, the airport pickup/drop-off and check in formalities go really fast and smooth. Overall, I would really recommend this tour operator. Tsehaynew went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience, and he has a great sense of hospitality and client orientation. I left Ethiopia knowing that I will return sometime, and I will definitely reach out to Essence Ethiopia Tours again.

Most friendly, motivated and service-oriented guy imaginable.
The tour couldn't have been better. A great adventure with many highlights and even a salty pool session in the desert. The guide and company owner Asho and his team mates provided all the support needed, and more. Always in for a good laugh or an interesting story - excellent.
Thanks for everything!

Understands his job very well
It was my first time to use Riro Porini for my holiday. What I can say is they are perfect. I was able to see the big 5 in Maasai Mara.
I was booked in an hotel by Riro Porini and I can say they met my test. Everything went well and perfect.
Anytime Riro Porini it's is.

Great experience
My husband and I, we came S.Africa to experience great hospitality of people and view and we’ve received for sure today from our tour driver Radzani. He took his time to point things out for us along way from Johannesburg to Tembo Guest Lodge. We’ve became a great friend and I love his positive energy and willing to listen and learn from each other. Highly recommend Radzani as guide/Driver.

Top-notch Organization and Incredible Wildlife!
Our trip with The Kruger Safari Co. was outstanding. The team handled everything perfectly, starting with a punctual airport pickup and a quick transition to camp. We were out on a night safari almost immediately, followed by a wonderful dinner hosted by our guides.
The full-day drive the next day was the clear highlight—the sheer number of wildlife sightings was breath-taking! Even our departure day was productive, with a final sunrise drive before our direct transfer back to the airport.
The constant communication and organization made the whole experience feel effortless. Truly a reliable company that offers fantastic service and great value. Highly recommended!

A Seamless and Spectacular Safari!
We had an incredible experience with The Kruger Safari Co. from start to finish. The logistics were flawless—from the prompt airport pickup to the smooth transfer back on our final day.
Our guides were fantastic, preparing a delicious dinner right after our first night drive and ensuring our full-day safari was packed with amazing sightings. We felt well-informed and taken care of throughout the entire trip.
If you're looking for a reliable, well-organized, and high-value safari experience, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better adventure!

1st class service.
We travelled from our hotel in the South of Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park on a 1day safari. We were collected from our hotel, taken to the domestic airport terminal in a luxury vehicle and flew in a small propeller aircraft (14seater) directly into the National Park landing on the dirt airstrip, the flight itself was incredibly exciting. As we approached Mikumi airport we spotted giraffes and elephants from the sky!! We landed and were immediately introduced to our driver and guide Frank. What a top notch guide. He knew where to go and what we wanted to see. We saw Lions, elephants, giraffe, hippos, zebra, antelope, birds galore!! Lunch was very good and just being in that environment was so incredible. Our experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris was superb, don’t panic if they don’t contact you until the day before you are going on your safari, they will!!
