Chasing Lions!
Amshar Serengeti Adventures completely designed and tailored this trip for us to fit within our timetable. It was incredible and amazing. Our driver, Major, was super knowledgeable, funny, kind, patient and chased down leopards, prides of lions, elephants, and rhinos just so we could have the most epic experience — which we totally did. These guys are THE BEST!!!

Uganda is the Pearl of Africa then Likana Safaris is the Pearl of Uganda Safaris!!
There aren't enough words to describe the wonderful and amazing experience we had with Likana Safaris. From the time we arrived until the end of our tours we were treated like family. The accommodations were excellent , very comfortable and of high quality. The food was delicious and we had the choice of eating local dishes which i highly recommend. The iternary was well planned taking into consideration our expectations. Every day of the iternary we had a beautiful day and felt very satisfied. Our driver Nathan did everything to make sure we were safe and comfortable. He provided us with relevant and good information about the wild life, birds and Uganda. We felt so happy spending time driving to our destinations and seeing interesting things along the way. While some roads were easy to drive on other roads , offered jokingly the African massage, which is part of the adventure and experience. We loved the entire journey and made the best of it. Nathan made sure we saw all the animals even though nature is unpredictable and animals can choose to remain in their habitats. Bonny our tour operator did an excellent job always coordinating with Nathan our driver to ensure we were having a great experience. I would definitely recommend Likana Safaris if you want a great and memorable experience. A big thank you for not only assisting us with the Gorilla trekking but allowing us to experience so much wild life, birds and exposing us to the Uganda culture , villages and providing us with exposure to communities that are working towards development and sustainable solutions to empower themselves and the country. Overall what an education and experience my 16 year old son had. Thank you ,thank you so much Bonny & Nathan !! You guys are the best!!

Ruthless and ignorant behaviour
We didn't go with this company (and never would!) as we unfortunately had several very upsetting encounters with 2 of their jeeps (2 days in a row) while on Safari in Amboseli Nationalpark.
The driving was reckless (or is speeding in a Nationalpark and risky overtaking manouveres standard procedere?!).
The tourists impressed with arrogant behaviour but the drivers and spotters acted surprisingly similar (snapping at other drivers for example when they wouldn't make room for them although they were there waaaaay longer).
The worst thing was them being 'late' to a massive elephant crossing. There were at least 6 or 7 vehicles already waiting on the road (leaving a wide and save corridor to let the herds pass) and you could easily see the most probably path where they'd cross and both vehicles drove off-road, turned, and blocked the road.
Not only the view for us, BUT THE CORRIDOR FOR THE WILDLIFE.
The elephants stopped, got spooked, and diverted so both vehicles of 'game watcher's safaris' not only ruined this magnifiscent moment for all of us (8-10 vehicles, so roughly 20-40 other tourists; as there would have been easily 80-100 elephants that would have crossed here and we were quietly waiting for over 40 min already..) but they ignorantly and arrogantly disturbed the wildlife and forced them to split up.
The company advertises with " (..) Exploring travel wonders while protecting the natural world. (...)" and "(...) We prioritize conservation offers (...)" - both vehicles on dec 3rd and 4th definately did not!!!

They were very attentive and flexible in handling any accidents, allowing me to have a comfortable.
Since it was my first safari tour, I had some worries, but our cheerful guide, Kitutu, created a friendly atmosphere, and I was able to enjoy the trip from start to finish. I’m also grateful to Jockey Tours for kindly answering all my repeated questions. Although there were animals we couldn’t see due to the season, it was still an incredibly exciting experience.
One thing, though, which may be unavoidable, is that the drive from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara Reserve seemed to take too long (I feel we could have arrived at least an hour earlier).
In any case, it was a wonderful experience with safety and peace of mind guaranteed. Thank you very much!

Review about Kruger National Park by Ryan Sanford
Kruger National Park has it all, the wildlife, the lodges and gift shops, the restaurants, it's the go-to National Park for anyone who wants to go on an African Safari, and it's not hard to see why. I'd love to go again someday.

An amazing country with so much to see and do.
The tour I went on was fantastic, from the rooms we stayed in, to the safari guide that explained the wildlife in Kruger, to the breathtaking panoramic view from the tops of the hills and mountains...Safari Bookings lives up to its reputation, and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to go on a wildlife Safari in Africa to use Safari bookings to plan your trip.

Amazing safari
When my friend and I first arrived in Arusha my phone broke… luckily Nelson was there and went out of his way to organize someone on a Sunday who could fix it. That sums up the type of person he is. Very caring and kind, him and his family are such beautiful people. They made their home a wonderful space for travelers to stay at, the rooms have warm showers ( rare for Tansania), a mosquito net and big beds. Also, the cooking of the wife is AMAZING. And that was just the stay, the safari was unforgettable. We had a private car with a driver who went out of his way to show and find us the coolest animals and we even saw a lion eating a zebra! Since we are budgeting, we were a bit worried about pricings but we got all of this for 300£!!! This included, accommodation, food, airport pick up and the safari!
I can only highly recommend this experience if you are on a budget but still don’t want to miss out on anything

They are striving to do perfect.
Every animal that we have put on the list prior, could be seen, amazing guide, good camp. Memorable. Masai Mara is miracolous. Only the third day out of four makes the 5.0 rating drop a bit. 4.8 for me. Overall, definitely recommended, Evans is brilliant!

Amazing experience, beyond expectation!
Wily, our guide, welcomed us at Arusha airport with great kindness. Wily has been an amazing host. I have truly appreciated his professionalism and dedication. Thanks to him, we haven’t missed any of the “big 5” and saw much more! He has always made sure that we felt safe - even when the weather conditions were not in our favour - and happy with our journey. All accommodations in the tour met our expectations, as the meals included in the package. It goes without saying that the Natural parks are astonishing: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro’s crater. I strongly recommend this trip!
