Wonderful Guide and Experience
Cannot recommend Sunset Adventure Safari enough! We had a wonderful time on our 7 day safari visiting Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Manyara. Johnathan was absolutely amazing in making us feel comfortable, ensuring we had everything we needed, and explaining so many things to us. He felt more like a friend than our guide and made the experience unique. We LOVED that he is Masaii and was able to share so much information and knowledge regarding the history of Tanzania and his culture! He took time to ensure we saw all of the Big 5, stayed as long as we wanted when viewing certain wildlife, made sure the vehicle was spotless and fresh every day, and would sit down each night to discuss with us what time we should be on the road the next day. Additionally, leading up the the trip Emma and Sarah were fantastic communicators. They helped to customize our trip, made any adjustments we asked for, and set clear expectations. Lastly, Godfrey was able to store our luggage as the safari ended while we took a few days in Zanzibar. This was above and beyond our expectations but we truly appreciated Sunset Adventure Safari's coordination and facilitation to ensure our trip was smooth, easy, and enjoyable. Would come back and do it all over again!!

Excellent service and outstanding tour
I had an extra day in Johannesburg before going on safari in Botswana and Zimbabwe and decided to contact David based on his reviews on Safaribookings. I also contacted a competitor and David got back to me much quicker with several options for a day of birdwatching in Johannesburg. I was very pleased with his quick response time and the various options he provided. He came to pick me up at my hotel and we drove in his very comfortable van to Marievale birding reserve, where we were able to enjoy a number of different hides in the reserve. We were there on a weekday so there were very few other visitors. After a lovely lunch we then went to the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden, where we were able to walk around the beautiful garden and see a number of different species of birds. David was very interesting to talk to about South Africa politics as well, and we spent a really nice day together. I would highly recommend him and although we did not do one of his more historical or cultural tours I am confident that those are excellent as well.In addition, I felt that David's tour was very fairly priced compared to others in the area.

Maximizes unique experiences with cost affordability!
My friend Michele and I recently had the most incredible experience with Tubale Safari, and I can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, this adventure was beyond anything I could have imagined. The team at Tubale Safari took care of every detail, and the trip was flawless. What made it even better was how affordable and customizable the trip was. We were able to tailor the experience to our preferences, which made it all the more special.
One of the highlights was the whitewater rafting – an adrenaline rush like no other! The rapids were exhilarating, and the scenery along the river was stunning. Our guides were risk takers (which I like!), making sure we could really "experience" the Nile River, by taking on its most challenging rapids. It was a lot of fun, rewarding with some cold brews and delicious food at the end!
Then, there was the chimpanzee trekking. Walking through the lush forests was both thrilling and humbling. We spent time with a family of chimpanzees, observing their playful interactions. It was an unforgettable experience that left us in awe of nature's beauty and complexity.
And, of course, the gorilla trekking was the crown jewel of the trip. The hike through the thick forests to see the mountain gorillas was an adventure in itself, but when we finally came upon them, it was truly magical. Standing just a few feet away from these magnificent creatures, witnessing their calm, regal demeanor, was something I will treasure forever. And yes - they make you EARN it. While the guides carry the machetes, you legitimately need to hack your way into and out of the jungle (it is my understanding less challenging treks may be available),
A huge part of what made this trip so amazing was our tour guide, Arafat. He was the perfect blend of expertise, humor, and attentiveness. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, culture, and history of the area added so much value to the experience. He made sure every detail was taken care of, and his infectious enthusiasm kept the energy high throughout the entire trip. Arafat’s great sense of humor made each day even more enjoyable, and his warm, welcoming personality made us feel like part of the Tubale Safari family.
All in all, Tubale Safari exceeded all expectations. The affordability and flexibility of the trip made it even more appealing, and I will definitely be coming back for more adventures. If you're looking for a thrilling, educational, and unforgettable experience, look no further – Tubale Safari is the way to go!

Everything except the food and the service in the hotel restaurant was gigantic
Everything except the food and the service in the hotel restaurant was gigantic. The guides from the safari tours and the panorama route were super nice and we saw 4 of the big five. Also the hotel was very comfortable and the staff at the reception very accommodating. Unfortunately, however, the dinner was not completely included as stated in the description, but only up to a certain amount. The food was not very tasty and often not warm. In addition, the buffet was not replenished both in the evening and in the morning, even if the buffet was still open for more than 2 hours (an example was the fruit plate, which was already empty at 8 o'clock and was not replenished, although there is breakfast until 10 o'clock in the morning.) In addition, the staff in the hotel restaurant was very rude and did not give good service.

An Amazing Adventure
My wife and I and two other fellow travelers embarked on an 8 days walking safari with Roko and his wonderful crew. We had two very knowledgeable Maasai guides with us at all times. The supporting team met us ahead with prepared meals and lodging.
We had the amazing opportunity of hiking the backcountry with no other tourists in sight. The guides were very familiar with the terrain and the local tribes. Roko Safaris went above and beyond to make sure we had all the necessities of the trek.
This was a very educational and transformative trip for me. It left me with great memories of the safari and Tanzania. I highly recommend Roko Safaris.

Customized & great service!
My wife & I booked with Abunda for the first part of our honeymoon trip. Abdul was quick to respond, had good prices and even let us customize the trip from one of his suggestions.
Lodge Bweza in Uganda was one of our favorites of the whole continent! Food was good, very clean and service was excellent.
Special mention to our guide Edgar as he made all our stops on time, Land Cruiser Prado was clean, and he shared interesting stories & knowledge.
Would highly recommend Abunda for your trip to/from Rwanda AND Uganda!

"For over 20 years, our go-to expert for crafting unforgettable journeys we can always rely on."
Our safari in the Masai Mara was truly a dream come true. From the very start, everything was perfectly arranged. We were picked up from our hotel and smoothly guided to a local airstrip, where a short but breathtaking flight took us straight into the heart of the Masai Mara.
Upon landing, our guide was already waiting for us – and he was fantastic! His passion was contagious, and he went out of his way to track down the wildlife. Thanks to his efforts, we were lucky enough to spot four out of the legendary Big Five during our short safari – an experience we will never forget.
Our lodge was located just outside the park, right by a river, with stunning views over the open plains. As the sun set, we watched giraffes, hyenas, and antelopes peacefully grazing on the horizon. It felt like stepping into a scene from a nature documentary. The meals at the lodge were delicious, and the service was impeccable – every member of the staff made sure we felt pampered and cared for.
What made this trip even more special is that it was arranged by someone we’ve trusted with our holidays for over 20 years. Time and time again, he ensures our trips are nothing short of amazing – and this safari was no exception.
In short: a perfectly organized adventure, a guide who went the extra mile, and a lodge you’ll never want to leave. We highly recommend this unforgettable experience to anyone looking to discover the magic of the Masai Mara.

Kevic tours company was reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and attentive from start to finish.
Words can’t explain how satisfied we are with Kevic. Everything from the communication prior to the trip to the safari experience went smoothly. Grace was attentive and responsive during the booking process and Simon was an incredible guide. We had a fantastic time getting to know him and his beautiful country.
Both hotels picked out my the safari company we’re welcoming and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including stable internet. They were knowledgeable about my dietary restrictions (I’m vegan) and surprised us with honeymoon gifts.
The safari experiences were magical, but I really think it had to do a lot with our guide. He was knowledgeable, knew where to take us, and concentrated on all the animals, not just chasing the big 5.
This was our first time in Africa and we felt safe and welcomed. We are so grateful for this experience and absolutely recommend Kevic for your safari needs.
