Beautiful experience and professional staff
Thank you so much for a very informative and interesting tour. I saw all the animals that live in the parks. There were many of them, especially the hippopotamuses and elephants, which came right up to the lodge. There were many different birds, antelopes, lions, and warthogs—I've never seen anything like them anywhere. The gorillas were unforgettable. The hotels are top-notch, the food was delicious, and everything was on time and correct. A huge special thanks to the guide, Akhmet. He was very honest and attentive, fulfilling all my wishes and requests. He is a very knowledgeable guide, knows the names of all the plants and animals, and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Akhmet is a huge credit for this. I recommend Beyond Travel to everyone.

An Awesome Company That Knows the Importance of Good Communication
We, two couples, just returned home from an amazing 3 week safari and cultural trip with Colours of Africa Tours and Safaris. What a fantastic group of local (Arusha) tour guides and drivers! We certainly made a good choice when planning the trip through this company. In fact, before going we wondered if this company was for real. They were so good!
Pius, a salesman for the company, was especially good - polite, communicative and patient. We worked together through 14 itineraries until we had the trip that we wanted that included seeing animals and birds as well as visiting local tribes and having a varied experience. A lot to ask for but Pius came through with a perfect custom-made itinerary for us.
Due to the political unrest in Tanzania during their elections, our flight was cancelled and Godlissen, an owner of the company, suggested that we go to Nairobi. We did and were met by Paul, another Colours of Africa employee who helped us with a plan for our time in Kenya.
The political situation quieted down and two drivers drove us to Arusha to start our original tour there. We were so well taken care of!
Our guide/driver Norton was the best for us. He is a caring man who knows his animals and birds and is a safe driver. He just seemed to know how to make us comfortable and happy. He was with us for two full weeks as we made our way through the National Parks and Conservations areas.
We also had several local guides who took us on walking safaris and into villages and translated for us. Everyone one of them had interesting things to tell us and made sure that we were safe.
Colours of Africa also arranged for our flights, hotels and transfers to Zanzibar and then on to Nairobi. We were well taken care of. They are excellent communicators which was very reassuring.
Kudos to Colours of Africa Tours and Safaris for a job well done!

Carson was extremely knowledgeable, very nice, easy to converse with.
The tour was fantastic. It gave me a good explanation of the history of South Africa, apartheid, townships, etc. Well worth the money and time. Carson picked me up right on time. I actually had made a mistake on the day I wanted the tour. They were very accommodating and change the date for me. I would highly recommend.

Samuel is fantastic!
I was traveling solo and I approached Samuel for my trip. As I was traveling to Africa for the first time, I was apprehensive; however due to the way Samuel planned the trip and guided me during the entire trip was great. Indeed visiting Masai Mara become a memorable journey for me. I would highly recommend Samuel and Namu travel for your Kenyan wildlife adventure.

No scam. RAMJA safari is truly a good tour operator
I had a short 5-day, 4-night safari in Kenya. I consulted a few tour operators, but none of them replied as promptly as Steve.
Steve is the manager or the boss of the company, and there are seven tour guides (also drivers) who work for him.
At first, I was rather skeptical about their reviews because there were zero bad reviews, which made me suspicious. But I want to thank Steve for his patience and understanding, even though I asked him a lot of questions.
Patrick was my driver and guide for the Masai Mara. I also learned that he is usually the assigned guide for the Masai Mara National Reserve. He is extremely experienced, having worked as a guide for 19 years.
He is very kind to the people around him, which is why most of the guides, hotel staff, and park rangers are his friends. This is extremely important because a safari is not a one-man show, it’s teamwork. Everyone helps one another by sharing information about where animals can be spotted.
I checked off the Big Five easily with Patrick. It felt almost too good to be true. At times it felt like I was in a zoo because spotting animals seemed so easy with Patrick’s expertise!
I would say Patrick is not someone who talks a lot, but he is considerate, always helpful, and respects his clients’ decisions. He also makes decisions that benefit his clients. For example, he went off-road (ignoring Google Maps) during our journey to Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara, and it proved to be the right choice because it saved us travel time.
The accommodations at Sopa Lodges were excellent! nothing to complain about. The hotel staff were friendly and observant. I requested a room near the reception because I didn’t want to walk in the dark back to my room since I was traveling alone, and they arranged that for me.
I strongly recommend flying into or out of the park because it saves so much time.
I am looking forward to traveling with RAMJA Safari again.
