Fantastic tour!
My 10-day trip to Ethiopia with On the Go Ethiopia Tours was absolutely amazing! I visited the Danakil Depression, the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, and the Omo Valley. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our tour guide and tour operator, Kenaw, and his team did an excellent job. They were professional, friendly, and well organized, making my entire journey enjoyable and unforgettable.
I highly recommend On the Go Ethiopia Tours to anyone planning to visit Ethiopia!

Unforgettable Family Safari Journey
I had a fascinating and unforgettable 8-day safari trip with my families and friends, together with our wonderful guide Francis from Amazing Memories. The entire trip was full of joy and excitement, and everything went so smooth with AM's arrangement. We were able to stay at our preferred hotels during the trip, getting picked up on time everyday, and even being able to store our luggages in AM's office free of charge. Our guide Francis is fabulous. Our safari trip couldn't be so fullfilled and satisfied without him. Francis is super friendly and knowledgeable about animals, drive (and race when spotting animals!) incredibly well, always being able to get us the best spot to see animals and giving us sufficient time to take photos and enjoy the beautiful view. Francis was also super organized, helping us arrange the luggages (there are 7 of us so there're a lot of suitcases and backpacks), cleaning the car everyday, ordering lunchboxes for us for full-day safari, and everything. We were very fortunate to have chosen Amazing Memories for our first safari journey in Kenya, and so lucky to have Francis be our guide. I would definitely come back again and I highly recommend AM to anyone who is looking forward to a once in a life time safari trip. 120 out 100!

Mikumi & Ruaha National Parks
Our French-speaking guide, Djafari, was absolutely outstanding! Thanks to him, we had an unforgettable experience. He was always attentive, taught us so much about the animals, and was incredibly kind and patient with our children.
As for our safari drivers, Alphonse and Joel, we couldn’t have asked for better. They did everything they could to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. A huge thank you to both of them!
The organization was excellent from start to finish. We only had to pay a deposit in advance, and the remaining balance was paid in person. They picked us up from our hotel, booked our train tickets, arranged all the meals, and took care of the accommodations.
Our lodges in Mikumi and Ruaha were absolutely amazing.
The only small thing I would have liked to know beforehand was the long distance between the two parks. Since we were traveling with our 5-year-old daughter, I probably would have chosen a different itinerary if I had known. Other than that, everything was perfect.
A huge thank you again to Djafari, Joel, and Alphonse. You are simply the best!

An unforgettable safari with Calvin and Safari Avventura
Our week-long safari with Safari Avventura was absolutely perfect. Our guide, Calvin (known as "little" Calvin), made this an exceptional experience: he is multilingual, speaks excellent French, and shared his passion and professionalism while helping us discover the wonders of Tanzania.
We explored Lake Manyara National Park, the Serengeti, the Grumeti Game Reserve, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Thanks to Calvin, we were able to spot most of the region's wildlife while learning so much about the local culture.
Before the trip, Enrico was highly responsive by email, and the organization on the ground was flawless. Saying goodbye to Calvin at the end of our journey was tough—a true testament to how wonderful this connection was.
We highly recommend Safari Avventura for an authentic and well-organized safari experience.

Amazing and surreal experience
I went on a private 5 day 4 night safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. The entire experience was absolutely amazing and surreal. Some highlights of the trip were seeing elephants walking/grazing as close as a meter from the car, watching tens of thousands of wildebeest crossing a small river in Serengeti, seeing all of the big 5, encountering about 30 lions throughout the trip, seeing a cheetah mom with four cubs, and seeing two rhinos less than 10 meters away within the first 5 minutes of entering Ngorongoro Crater.
While there were many safaris to choose from I'm glad we chose Wild Media Safaris largely due to our guide, Kweka. With 15+ years of experience as a guide, he was able to navigate the terrain easily and generally avoid major congestion/crowds of people (there are more cars than you'd expect!) while still having a very good view of all the animals. Additionally, he has very good eyesight and is able to spot animals from a very far distance just from their silhouette. Near one of the rest stops he spotted a black rhino only really visible with binoculars. When speaking to another group at the rest stop they said their guide didn't even note it. Furthermore, he's very knowledgeable about animals and always let us know details of the animals when we asked.
Overall, absolutely amazing experience

Incredible Experience
Our safari was unforgettable and the organization was impeccable: from the airport transfer to the game drives in the parks, everything was perfect.
Letson, our first contact, was very patient, helpful, and available to help us customize the safari, and he organized everything beautifully.
Richard, our safari guide, was excellent; thanks to him, we saw all the Big 5. He's a passionate guy who shared his love for animals with us, explaining so many interesting facts!
Well done, Ozon!

Highly knowledgeable and professional.
We just completed an incredible 4-day safari with Jockey Tours, and it was an absolute trip of a lifetime. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamlessly organized, but what truly made this trip spectacular was our amazing guide, Tribon.
If you are booking with Jockey Tours, do yourself a huge favor and request Tribon. He is an exceptional guide whose knowledge of the wildlife, animal behavior, and local landscape is unmatched. Thanks to his incredible spotting skills, patience, and dedication, we saw more wildlife than we ever could have anticipated. He always went the extra mile to position the vehicle perfectly for photography and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time.
The 4-day itinerary was beautifully paced, offering a fantastic mix of different landscapes and habitats. Wrapping up the safari at Lake Nakuru was the absolute perfect grand finale. The scenery there is breathtaking, and the wildlife viewing—especially the rhinos and incredible birdlife—was stunning.
Thank you, Jockey Tours, and a massive thank you to Tribon for making this an adventure we will never forget. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

A truly amazing experience. Wouldn't change a thing!
In preparation for the trip, Bush Wander (and Amos specifically) were very reactive and willing to explain every little detail, with clarity and transparency being a top priority. They were also very susceptive to changes in the itinerary and accommodations, fine-tuning them according to budget and plan preferences. We felt appreciated and wholly accounted for, and in hindsight the accommodation selection was diversely ideal.
Our operator, Amos, was perfect! professional, knowledgeable, funny, sensitive and very pleasant. Any question we'd come up with was answered in depth. Amos would stop the car whenever he'd spotted something that could be interesting for us to see (which occurred impressively frequently). He made jokes when and kept conversations going on the long car rides, and also knew to dial it down when we were tired and needed some rest. He made us feel comfortable in the vehicle and with using its facilities.
It was spacious and very well equipped, with A/C, refrigerator, power outlets, field guides for African mammals and birds (which came handy a handful of times) and also coffee/tea facilities for a nice hot beverage break in nature.
Overall the trip was awesome. With everything running smoothly, a well-drafted, rich itinerary, and Uganda being its beautiful self - there's nothing we'd change
Thank you Amos for the great experience. We'd love to come back again
