Comfortable arrangement to Serengeti!
We booked our 4 days safari with Trip Advisor Africa Safaris. Seth Vincent arranged everything as we had asked him to arrange and promptly replied to every email that was sent to him. The airport pick up to drop off was smooth and well arranged. The safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro was really amazing and well organised. we had a very good driver Ziggy and chef Alifa, both very knowledgeable and amazing cook respectively. Special thanks to director Vincent for arranging a pick up of our lost luggage that arrived couple of days later. It was truly a great help for picking up our lost luggage and keeping it safe until we arrived back from our 4 days safari. Also special thanks to make sure all our requests were fulfilled, like arranging halal food, hotel pick up and drop off,etc. All in all, you can book these guys for your visit to African safari and they will make sure you have a memorable trip with them.

Compliments for a wonderful trip
Did a safari with Keldonk safaris, the prices are recomendable, the driver Hassan went to all lengths to make sure that we saw all the animals we needed to see. The attention and care the tour safari gives is remarkable. Thanks Julius for the perfect arrangement.

An amazing experience!
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The people I met were friendly and the scenery was stunning. I was more than happy with both the accommodation and food, although a couple of times our accommodation changed. It would have been good to be closer to Sossusvlei to avoid such an early start, however I cannot fault the accommodation we had.
John Cooper looked after us extremely well and went out of his way to ensure that all was satisfactory.
Highlights of the trip included morning, afternoon and evening game drives (with G & Ts if desired), game walks, the animal sightings - including a pangolin, bat-eared foxes and an aardwolf, accommodation at 'The Fort' and the Pangolin tours.
I wouldn't hesitate to travel with African Adventures Safari Company again.

Pleasant and Carefree Safari with Relaxed and Expert Guidance
One of the reasons for us to choose Bella Africa was the idea that they only work with female guides. When a male guide showed up in our Entebbe Hotel on the starting day of our safari we were unpleasantly surprised. Bella seems to have intended to tell us that our female guide was not available but for technical reason the message did not reach us. During the 15 days of our safari Ben Aloysius Kyenyune (our guide) proved to be a nice guy and a good and expert safari guide. We have visited beautiful places and saw a great number of animals. We especially enjoyed the tranquility at some remote locations, like Kidepo NP. The accommodation was quite simple but good. Recommended!

It was all that I hoped for...and more.
I had a wonderful 7 day safari. I spent two nights at a nice, very friendly hotel in Nairobi before starting the tour. I spent one day with one of the drivers on an excellent city tour. The next day the safari started. I went To Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Ambroseli. We stayed in comfortable places. I am a vegetarian and I was pleased with the meals. The drivers were all very competent and I met nice people. Before the trip I was expecting to be with the same driver and the same group for the 7 days. Instead I had 4 different drivers and 5 different configurations of people, but it was just fine. All the drivers were excellent and I met a lot of nice people. Baboon Budget did everything possible to see that I had my entire program. I would certain recommend the company to other people who are interested in learning about the area and want to see the animals where the animals belong.

The experience was just perfect. Wonderfull Experience...
The experience was just perfect. All the hotels that were listed and recommended by Its starts in Africa were good and especially Mahali Mzuri. We have appreciated a lot the interaction that we had with (i) the team of Its starts in africa but also with the guide, the staff of the hotel and the local people.
Thank you again for all the arrangements and looking forward to talk for a new adventure
Best regards

Congo experience and getting there
Amazing experience in Congo, The Vulcanic crater was surreal, especially in the night, the vulcanic activity lightning up the skies as a huge lightbulb. We had to travel in a big group though, so its something you have to like. And, if youre healthy and if your condition is ok, you can carry your own bag by yourself so dont let yourself being fooled into something different.
Also it was super sweet to see the mountain Gorillas. I liked the way the rangers approached them, taking care that we didnt contaminate them and letting us witness them from real close and at the same time making sure both and our security were provided by making sure interaction between the human and gorillas was minimal, taking care of the future of Gorillas and tourism, hopefully protecting a safe future for the animals.
I didnt like how little information discovery safari offered though about the situation in Congo, prices, how things are organised, where to sleep etcetera.
Fortunately half by accident I met Barack Nari who works for this company, who made it all easy, he gave me explanation and took care of all the shitty parts, as transport to the national parks, information about cheap places, arranging visa in one day. Very trustworthy nice guy. So Id definetely recomend Barack Nari in this.

Great organizer/transport for Goma safari Nyiragongo/gorillas
Barack is very helpful for executing a safari trip in the Goma area. I was able to communicate with him via WhatsApp from Kigali, RW, planning out dates, details, and costs. He personally picked me up from the border, helped me through customs, and took me to the hotel. Transport was in a sturdy 4x4, had no problems. He also knows the officials at the Virunga park office which helps.
Although it would have been helpful if the driver spoke better English (to/from park), he was able to direct me to a music shop where I could find Congolese tunes :)
We Had an Amazing Trip
We went to Kruger to see the Big Five and we saw them all and then some. The guides were professional and knowledgeable and all the staff at the lodges were super nice.
Andre was on top of everything from the booking all the way thru to follow up and see how our expereince was. A true professional who really cares:))
