Easy to work with
The very first thing we did was go to a place to book excursions, felt like high pressure sales on the guide's part. We hurriedly pick a few and asked to go to check in at our accomodataions so we could freshen up from traveling. The next day we were a bit surprised to be handed an invoice for transport to and from activitites. We almost missed one activity because our guide told us to be ready at one time and the transport arrived over an hour and a half before that time. Fortunately that driver waited for us to hurry and get ready, we did almost miss the boat for the excursion, they held the boat since there were so many people from different places on the bus. May have made the actual boat ride shorter, I have no idea.
The transfers to and from countries with the guides seemed seamless. We always felt safe. transferred from Zimbabwe to Zambia and back, then to Botswana later.
the host and accomodations in Botswana, and the guides there were beyond amazing. I would do this part of the tour again in a heartbeat.
The food at all accomodations was great.

Good value budget safari that still allows a great expérience
I really enjoyed the trip. Our guide Felix was great. He was helpful, punctual and friendly. He also explained the programme for each day really well and kept us updated on what was happening and when.
Liked the camp at Amboseli park. The accommodation was good, the food was really good and the staff were friendly. Camp at Masai Mara was ok but during the winter season the accommodation could get pretty cold during the evenings and early mornings. Also WiFi (rationed in both camps) didn't have enough bandwidth for the number of people connected to it and was very slow.
Otherwise a very good trip, which I’d recommend.

Nome was very eager and willing to help.
Africa Uncovered Safaris does a great job if setting you up with transportation, lodges, and of course game drives as well as other sight-seeing programs. But what I truly appreciated about them beyond all of this was the fact that the operators and guides they choose for you (Nome and Ronnie in my case) are amazing with helping you whenever you need it. Nome, for example, would always check in on me to make sure I was ready to go at the right time. And he always asked if I needed anything or if there was anything wrong, to let him know. Ronnie was very good with taking me wherever I needed to go, and he was very knowledgeable about the places where he took me. They were both great people that helped lead me through this program, and that, I believe, is the specialty of Africa Uncovered Safaris.

Great Customer Care
I did a 9- day safari with Salina, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Parks.
I chose Salina after spending quite a bit of time researching on safaribookings.com.
From the beginning, Charles responded to me quickly and was very helpful, tailoring the safari to suit my needs.
The safari itself went well, although it was probably a little bit too long. I figured I was only going to do a safari in Kenya once in my life! My favourite parks were definitely those further East - Amboseli and the two Tsavos. Masai Mara was disappointing- very dusty, very busy, poor roads and a lack of infrastructure.
My only criticism relates to the accommodation. I stayed in five different places, and the quality varied a lot- it was very hit and miss. I think part of the challenge was that I travelled in high season, and despite booking 6 months in advance, some of the better places (within my budget) were apparently booked out. The cream of the crop are most definitely the Sentrim properties.

Meijo went the extra mile
Meijo offered excellent value for money and was flexible when we planned our tour beforehand.
I would highly recommend them and be sure to ask for Superman (Herman) as your guide.

Short review about John from OSK
A guide John picked us up and even though we stayed only with him for 1 drive. He managed to teach us a lot about the country Kenia, the people, the animals, and with a great sence of humor doing so.

Good offers with good quality/price ratio.
I bought a package for a safari in the Maasai Mara during high season and at the last minute. They found a good offer with quality/price ratio that suits me perfect.

Friendly ,accommodates people and knows her job
Immediately I contacted safari bookings i was linked to a tour consultant that understood my desires; she responded to my request almost immediately and she'd recommend best hotels where needed. She's one person I'll recommended to my friend's ; family and colleague.

Hospitable
Eraste, the tour guide, was very attentive and helpful when it came to show us around and explaining things during the tours. He was with us for 2 weeks as we explored all around Burundi. He is very knowledgeable and kind. Definitely recommend booking tours with this company.
