Safari-Masai Mara-Amboseli-Nakuru
Everything was great. From the communication with the tour operator which tailored our needs to what is available, to communication with the driver during the trip, everything amazing. There are a lot of tour operators, but this one in our opinion is the best.
We were able to see all the animals, they stopped in every place we wanted, and there was no rush. We did Amboseli-Nakuru-Masai Mara in a safari jeep. It is worth the upgrade.
So, easily 5 stars. Even the price was below from what other tour operators were offering!

Trip of a lifetime!
We spent 8 glorious days on safari with African Wildcats in August & from our very first enquiry email to our drop off at our departure airport, I cannot express how amazing the whole experience was. Our guide John was professional, knowledgable, kind & fun - nothing was too much trouble for our Wildcat team in order to make it the trip of a lifetime for us! As a keen photographer I am delighted too with the many wonderful photographs that I got & am extremely grateful to John for finding the wonderful animals and getting the best possible view of them in their surroundings. We learnt loads about Tanzania's history, wildlife & cultures on our days in our trusty jeep with a lot of laughs on the way! Our lodge accommodations & every meal was perfect. I couldn't recommend African Wildcats Expeditions more highly.

Fabulous, well planned trip
We worked with Gertrude to schedule and organize everything and she did an excellent job. I asked a lot of questions via e-mail and she answered everyone in a timely helpful manner. Our guide at Victoria Falls was also great. He met us at the airport, provided a thoughtful tour of the Falls and got us to our next guide in Botswana. Our lodgings at River View Lodge were just as described- very comfortable and excellent food. All the staff were so pleasant and helpful. If I had to do it again I would arrange a morning boat ride as well. We only did the sunset boat rides and they were the high point of our entire trip- we saw so many animals and our guide was very knowledgeable. Just a great experience. Our lodgings at Oddball's Enclave was rustic and we loved it. So great to disconnect from the world for a bit. Leo, our guide, was the best - got us out and about, saw fantastic wildlife and got back to camp safely each time. Doc manages the camp so well. This whole trip was planned and organized by Falcon Safaris and we could not have been happier.

Fantastic Ugandan and Mafia Island trip that delivered all and more than we had hoped for!
From the moment that we started to talk to Wayfairer Travel we were impressed with their attention to detail and desire to deliver us a trip that absolutely met our needs and budget. When Leonie discovered my husband and I shared a birthday while we were going to be away, and that the main aim of our trip to Uganda was to go Gorilla trekking, she took the time to plan our itinerary to ensure that we had an amazing birthday.....and we certainly did....meeting Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Communication during the planning of the holiday and ahead of our trip through Carmen as our Concierge was helpful and informative at all times. Nothing was too much trouble, even when we decided to play a little with the itinerary. When we arrived in Uganda their travel partners Wild Frontier Safaris were highly professional and our guides were brilliant. The quality of the lodges that had beeen recommended and selected for us were excellent. The holiday certainly delivered all that we had hoped for and so much more....including lions, leopards, so many birds, elephants, chimpanzees to name but just a few of the wonderful wildlife that we got to see and of course the most majestic of them all Mountain Gorillas. We were event treated to a birthday cake and the entire staff of the lodge that were were staying at on the night of our birthday singing us Happy Birthday. All this was topped off with an opportunity to swim with Whale Sharks when we hopped over to Mafia Island in Tanzania for some rest at a beautiful beach location. We would absolutely recommend Wayfairer Travel and are already wondering where they can take us next......

A Kenya Safari that Made My Dream Come True
From the get-go Chris has been the most professional and personable agent I have ever communicated with. Besides giving a complete quote based on our exact request, he also made suggestions on what needs to be added/removed to meet/exceed our expectations. His patience is beyond any other agents I dealt with. I had a delayed flight which ultimately caused a no-show for my first night hotel stay, but Chris managed to use those credits for my other expenses at the hotel. I truly appreciate that high level of service and consideration. Their offered price is also very competitive as compared to other companies.
Our driver Joseph is equally great! We saw everything that we wanted to see, including the wildebeests crossing the Mara River, with his timing skills and a little bit of luck! He even knows how to say the animal names in our own language. Joseph is so knowledgeable about safari animals and Kenya overall, we had fund and educational conversation through the whole trip. He basically satisfied all our requests by stopping anywhere we would like to take photos or breaks. He was even kind enough to buy us fresh fruits in the street, which tasted super fresh.
I would highly recommend Sunup Adventures. My dream of flying hot air balloon over Masai Mara has finally come true!

Excellent - book with Bateleur :-)
Pre safari communications were good and when our flights were delayed, Mathew was very helpful and flexible. Martin was our first driver and he was friendly and knowledgable - he found us lots of lions. The accommodation lived up to expectations (and in some places exceeded them).
Having originally booked 3 nights in the Masai Mara and had such good experiences, we chose to book another 3 nights with Bateleur.
There were some technical difficulties with the van and, when it became apparent these could be fixed, a upgraded car was quickly dispatched and Amos, our second driver was great.
Overall, we had a great time and would throughly recommend Bateleur Eagle safaris.
