Amazing experience
I had an amazing experience with Loise Adventures during my visit to Kenya before relocating to the USA. From the very beginning, everything was well organized and professionally handled.
The safari planning process was smooth and stress-free thanks to Lynn from Loise Adventures, who was very helpful, patient, and attentive to every detail. She made sure the itinerary matched exactly what I wanted and ensured everything was perfectly arranged.
Our tour guide, John, was absolutely exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very passionate about his work. He made the safari enjoyable, educational, and unforgettable. His understanding of wildlife, local culture, and the best spots made the entire experience truly special.
From the beautiful landscapes to the well-planned safari activities, everything exceeded my expectations. I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the trip.
I highly recommend Loise Adventures to anyone planning a safari or tour in Kenya. If you want a memorable, well-organized, and authentic experience, this is the team to trust. I would definitely choose them again.

An amazing safari with lifetime memories
A group of us, three families, were going to safari in Tanzania and Zanjibar. Our trip was 5 days of safari and two days in all inclusive resort in zanzibar. Our "custom package" included everything (transportation, guide, food, hotels, and whatever else it may be). We had customized every aspect of our trip. Going from the US, we didn't know where to start. I sent emails to a few, about 10, highly rated companies on Tripadvisor and other websites. Only three companies responded. I sent follow up emails as I had more questions. Only Hadija at Avocet came back with desirable and detailed answers. I went back and forth multiple times to iron out minute details on hotels, type of safari jeeps, camps class and location, food inclusion and choices, guide info, and routes to name a few. Hadija always responded with promptly with detailed explanation. I really admired timely communication and descriptive communication.
Part of our deal, we were allocated three safari jeeps for three families. Our three drivers/guides, Michael, Waldon, and Ibrahim Bakari, were simply amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They were quite friendly and conversational. None of them smoked which was an added benefit. All three families felt quite comfortable and at ease with our guides. We waited till last day of our trip to tip them. We were so happy, we tipped twice the recommended amount.
We did have a hiccup with Avocet. One of our flights were canceled due to airline change of schedule and "no refund" was given. Avocet wanted to charge us for the new flights. After back and forth, they agree to "cover" cost of new flights.
Overall it was an amazing trip. We were apprehensive before going to Tanzania. But, Hadija's hand holding made our journey very comfortable and easy. We would definitely utilize Avocet if we go back to Tanzania.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Luca Dentis
To enjoy an excellent experience at Mikumi National Park, a 3-day (2 night) package is sufficient. You'll be immersed in wild nature, in contact with an extraordinary multitude of animals, and in a constantly changing landscape. An exciting surprise, beyond your wildest expectations.

My favourite country! And I’ve seen many countries
Everything was very well organised through safaribookings.
And we had a very friendly driver, Gavin. Aquila was a very nice game reserve. They take good care of the animals.
The resort was beautiful. We had a great stay and two very nice private safari’s.

Simply... amazing!
In December, our family decided to break the European winter with a stay in Tanzania. The first part was a journey (by train and car) into the interior of the country, to Mikumi National Park. We chose a 3-day package that allowed us to enjoy a fantastic experience, immersed in wild nature, in contact with an extraordinary multitude of animals. Next, we moved to Mafia Island for a wonderful week in a meticulously maintained resort, combining relax and marine activities (snorkeling the coral reef, whale shark watching, picnicking on a sandbank...). The weather was favorable, although we were told the sea is more crystal clear at other times of the year (July-September). Overall, the vacation was excellent. We found the infrastructure to be of good quality, the transportation efficient and punctual, and the staff very courteous and attentive. The value for money was also excellent.

Uganda & Rwanda: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey
One of the most emotional and unforgettable journeys of our lives.
The entire route, from Entebbe to Kigali, crossing breathtaking national parks, was a true roller coaster of emotions. Safari drives, trekking, nature walks, boat trips and cultural encounters — every single day brought a new surprise, something new to discover. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something else comes along and leaves you speechless.
What truly made this journey exceptional, however, was Osman, our guide, who accompanied us from day one until today, as we prepare to leave Africa. It is only right to highlight his many qualities: incredibly knowledgeable, always available, kind, friendly and, above all, deeply passionate about his work, nature and his country. If you have the chance to choose your guide, ask for him. He went above and beyond to show us as much wildlife as possible — we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five — and to make our journey as comfortable and enriching as possible. We arrived with a guide and we leave with a friend.
Congratulations to the Destination Jungle team for such a perfectly crafted itinerary.
An experience we will carry with us forever.
The tour operator, namely Latipher, was communicative and clear, responsive and flexible with the it
Great communication from the tour operator Latipher from the outset, then from the driver- guide after that. He was on time and drove safely (the only storey was that he seemed very tired by day 3 so we were talking to him a lot to help him keep awake - it's a LOT of long hours of driving). We always knew the day's plan, were never left not knowing what war going on, treated like valuable customers. The camping and tour in general was value for money but I traded one night in a big standard tent for a night in a mud- range luxury Lodge and was disappointed - the room was amazing but the Lodge had no views of the crater and we only had a late dinner and early breakfast there, whereas in the budget campsite we spent 3 meal times. It felt a bit short- changed and a huge amount of extra money for not that much extra. I wish I had stuck with the camping (except please bring ear plugs because some other campers in the tent near us were talking loudly and with offensive language until gone 11pm when most people were getting up at 5 or 6am the following day. )
Very reliable from the first communication and a great tour. Would definitely recommend.
