Amazing experience
We had a wonderful safari experience. Everything was very well coordinated and perfectly organised. Our guide, Mr. Deo, was excellent and made sure we got to see all the animals. He was very knowledgeable, attentive and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Definitely worth it and highly recommended!

Absolutely Incredible From Start to Finish
We had the most incredible trip, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish!
Mariki organised everything so perfectly, which meant we could simply relax and enjoy the trip without having to worry about a thing. The communication, planning and organisation were all seamless, and the drivers were absolutely fantastic, especially when it came to helping us through the borders and making sure everything ran smoothly along the way.
All of the lodges were wonderful, the food was great and the game drives were amazing. We were also incredibly lucky with our sightings. An absolutely unforgettable experience!
This was truly a bucket-list trip for us, and Mariki played such a huge part in making it so special. We will definitely be using her and Explore Plus again for our future travels, and probably sooner than they think! ;)
We came home with amazing memories and so many photos to remind us of it. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour, great experience. Bravo !
We spent eight gorgeous full days tour in the North Madagascar and we had an excellent experience with Harilala jet Madagascar Natural tours. We didn't know him before and we chose just searching on the internet, but we wanted a local operator and we trusted it and all has been great! First of all we have booked asking for personal trip with accommodations, car and special program, and good price. Everything has been satisfied and much more. The wonderful guide as well as Jocelyn has been with us for all the time. Professional and very patient, clever and skilled: a nice person, we hope we'll meet him again. We will definitely return in Madagascar to see other places, to know and learn more of this wonderful country. Surely we' ll call Harilala tours again. Thank you for your work and availability.

Meticulously planned and wonderful!
We booked a 3 day safari with Bwanana Adventures for our Honeymoon and we couldn’t be happier!
Our tour guide Stanley was absolutely incredible - professional, friendly and so knowledgeable.
Over our 3 days we visited the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire National Park, each park was different and had its own different characteristics.
The accommodations we stayed in for the 2 nights were also incredible, we went for the luxury options. Firstly, we stayed in the Signature Serengeti lodge - the staff were lovely, the buffet food was yummy and we even had a dance and a congratulations cake for being on our honeymoon.
The second night we stayed in the Escarpment lodge, this was beautiful and had outstanding views. The food here was an à la carte 3 course menu and again was lovely! The room was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. Our only comment would be that they forgot it was our honeymoon and we were under the impression we’d get a honeymoon room decoration as mentioned by Bwanana Adventures but definitely not the end of the world, just something to mention that the booking might not get double checked if you’re there for an occasion.
Our safari days were outstanding, we saw all of the big 5 (4 of them within our first couple of hours!) and we’ve come away with some unforgettable memories.

We found all the animals
This was the best safari I have been on. Our guide was called Goodluck but it was because of his long experience that we found all the animals we had hoped for. In addition to the big 5 we saw cheetahs, crocodiles and no end of lesser known mammals and birds. Our guide also knew exactly where the Gnus would cross the river and always got us in the best position to watch and film. We even got to see a leopard and crocodiles hunting the Gnus and experienced the birth of a zebra.
Our 10 day private tour took us to Kilimanjaro (day hike), Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
The tent camps we stayed at in the Serengeti were great with animals passing by at night. The price for a private tour with everything included was also very good.
It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Make sure to ask for Goodluck as a guide when you book, although I am certain the other guides are also excellent.

Best experience of my life
Where do I begin. From start to finish this trip was nothing short of exceptional and an experience I’ll never forget. From the start, communication was fantastic with Frederick and Sedrick who answered all of our questions and concerns very quickly.
From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in good hands with our lead guide Onesmo and assistant guides Vincent, Jonathan and Jacqui. They became like our family over the course of the next 8 days as we did the Lemosho route. As did the entire crew who accompanied us up the mountain - the chefs, porters, tent and toilet engineers. It takes a small army to climb Kili, and each one of them works tirelessly to ensure you have everything you need.
We’d arrive every day to a fully set up camp, always in the best spots of the campsite with magnificent views. The food was delicious and abundant, you will never go hungry with these guys! We’d be woken every morning with a coffee and a bowl of hot water for washing.
Summit day was incredibly tough, and we couldn’t have done it without the guides and kili fighters who were with us every step of the way, carrying our daypacks and singing to us the whole way up, shouting words of encouragement and keeping our spirits high. It’s such an emotional experience and one I’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about doing Kili, Eco Africa is the ONLY company you should even think about using. Best experience of my life!

Amazing safari in beautiful Kenya
We had an amazing time on our safari in Kenya. We visited Amboseli, Tsavo West and East and a Maasai village. The tourguides were great and they looked after us. We saw many great animals and beautiful nature.
Raphael from Eta Adventure Safaris did everything to make our safari perfect. He always answered all our many questions.

He knows his game
The tour was amazing, we got to experience all there was to experience, perfect timing for a smooth educative ride. The guide was interactive and knew where exactly to be and at what time. We had an upclose experience with the beasts at their best behavior, totally one to redo.
