Elijah the wildlife whisperer! He can find it all even the Black Rhino
Elijah was an awesome safari guide in Tanzania, he kept his vehicle clean, drove smoothly, provided entertaining conversation, and was very considerate of bathroom and food stops.
I enjoyed the safari through both Tarangire and Ngorogoro. And enjoyed being in such awesome company greatly!
We felt very fortunate to see all the amazing wildlife and complete the Big 5, seeing both black and white Rhinos!

Fantastic experience, dream come true.
Firstly, I would like to thank Jacqueline who was my first point of contact in organising the trip. She was very helpful, friendly, with great communication and response times.
Secondly, our allocated guide Patrick. The most lovely person and it was a great pleasure to spend our days with him. He was able to answer any questions we had about our tour and Rwanda as a whole. He got us from A to B safely and was always waiting for us with a smile on his face.
We stayed at the Tiloreza Lodge about 10 mins from Volcanoes National Park. The staff were fantastic. On arrival, after our very tiring gorilla trek, we had our hiking boots taken, cleaned, along with a bonus and well needed foot massage (bliss). There was a good selection of food for lunch/dinner. The evening of the stay we were even given hot water bottles incase we were cold.
The trip with the gorillas was an absolute dream come true for us. The golden monkeys were also an amazing addition to our trip.
All in all, I highly recommend this company and a huge thanks to Jacqueline for organising and Patrick our amazing guide.

Incredible!
The best 10 day trip ever. Our first time to Africa and Emmelyn and your team made it the most awesome experience of a life time. We are so, so pleased we chose to do our tour with you. Emmelyn's communication and the work and happiness by Fred, Vincent and everyone in the team was more than we could have ever hoped for. We will never forget it!

Unforgettable, stress-free honeymoon in South Africa!
We recently returned from an incredible 11-day honeymoon in South Africa organized by African Welcome Safaris, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.
From the initial planning stages, Kathi was super helpful and responsive. She gave us multiple options tailored to what we were looking for and guided us smoothly through every detail, patiently answering our every question via email.
The accommodations and local guides chosen for us were top-notch across the board. On top of that, the on-the-ground execution was mostly seamless. We didn't have to worry about logistics at all, which allowed us to completely relax and focus on enjoying our honeymoon.
Huge thanks to Kathi and the team for making our trip so memorable. We highly recommend African Welcome Safaris to anyone planning a dream vacation to Africa!

Unforgetable Safari Trip
This is truly an amazing safari trip I experienced. Our driver/guide, Silvano, was fun to be around. His experience was right on the spot, and he was also very patient with our requests. We had five in our group and everyone was happy with Silva and wished that we could stay longer than our planned duration. The trip was not longer enough!
My husband and myself had taken another Safari trip in South Africa/Botswana, but this one topped it all!!! Serengeti was such an interesting adventure for us and we enjoyed every single minute of it! Saw a lot of lions within close proximity, and watched them with awe. Enjoyed seeing leopard which we did not have a chance to see from the previous trip. The great migration was the highlight of this trip too - not just once but twice. Silva knew what he was doing and he located us close to the location when the migration took place. Heard from other travelers that they had waited for three days or 7 hours in car without seeing the show. Some did not even had a chance to witness the movement at all. So far we were so lucky to have an experienced guide who knew what he was doing to create the timely happening right in front of us! Thanks so much Silva!
I enjoyed being able to see the wildlife in their natural habitat and everyone around them was respectful - not to disturb them but silently watching with appreciation.
Silva checked out all the locations outlined in our schedules plus more extra as surprises. All in all, this trip was a wonderful experience for us and we would love to go again in the near future. Thanks again Silva - now we have a friend as well!

Professional,friendly, helpful, patient. Tried to meet our requirements as photographers as m.a. p
We had three offers and we chose this trip.The program was the most suitable for us and the price was competitive. F.A.A. we're the only ones suggesting the local flight to the Serangitti which was a big advantage.All in all we had a great experience.A very good value for our money. Nelson was excellent. Thanks, Gidi and Giora.

Escape to Adventure Safaris is the absolute best! Highly recommend, don't look elsewhere!
Escape to Adventure Safaris deserves not 5 stars, but 100 stars. Every aspect is this trip was spectacular: from email communications with Kuda prior to my trip, to airport pickups, transfers, the incredible itinerary, the seamless coordination of activities, as well as all wonderful sites with dedicated local guides. All spectacular!
A very special shout out to Judith who transported me from Vic Falls thru Botswana, to end at the Delta. Her driving skills are superb. Her skill at maneuvering the potholes was most excellent. I am an older solo female traveler and Judith made me feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I could not have asked for a better driver and guide. It was truly a pleasure.
In terms of the sites, every stop was absolutely incredible, Victoria Falls, thev Chobe game drives (saw so many animals- lions, elephants,leopard, cheetah, giraffes, zebras, to name a few), the camping and staff, the river excursion, the salt pans and meerkats, and of course, the Delta and Mokoro experience.
The lodges were very comfortable, and the staff at these facilities were most gracious.
Thank you! A job well done. Great memories, for sure! I will recommend this trip to others.

Spectacular!
The tour was amazing! Our guide, Leslie, was awesome and answered any questions. The amount of animal life sitings was incredible! And the Great Migration was beyond all expectations!

Uganda rocks
I was undecided about whether to go gorilla trekking in Rwanda or Uganda. I am glad I chose Uganda. Uganda is even more beautiful than Rwanda and feels a bit more like "real" Africa. And there is no need to worry about Ebola; there is actually no risk, since you only have contact with your guide. I want to give a huge shout-out to my guide. His name was Benjamin. He was incredibly attentive. Whenever I needed any kind of help, he would suddenly appear right behind me. And when necessary, he knew how to take charge. A true leader.
