The most empathetic and passionate team!
I highly recommend Travel Africa Safari for their Phenomenal services. I am glad that I chose to travel with them after checking with so many other operators.
They went the extra mile at every step of the way. Summarising my experience here:
1. Team is always active over emails/whatsapp
2. They Guided and recommended on how to go about the bookings
3. Customised the tour as per my schedule
5. Guides/Drivers- Excellent. Eliyas and Mandela were so experienced and informative. Not to mention they were so passionate about the animals.
6. Food- The menu had variety and food was so damn delicious (10 on 10).
7. Camps- Location of all the campsites was awesome. Tents were new and clean. Washrooms were passable.
8. Hotel in Arusha (Tourist Inn) - Passable
Truly beyond expectation.
Kudos to the team- Mohammed, Jacqueline and William (special mention Elias and Mandela).
During my last day in Arusha I had internet issues and they welcomed me to their office where I could finish my work. So touched with their hospitality and empathy.
All the BEST.

Over promised, and under delivered.
The guide Joseph was fine. He was accommodating and knowledgeable.
The accommodation at Lenchada Tourist Camp was super sub-standard.
1. I was in a single tent that looked nothing like what was presented on the website. The bathroom looked like a prison bathroom; it was unclean with plenty of cracked tiles and mold.
2. There was no Wi-Fi, even though the website promised Wi-Fi. When I inquired about the service, I was told, "It's broken".
3. The food service was chicken; chicken and more Fing chicken cooked the same exact way every dinner. And it was not high-quality food. It was a buffet designed to spend the least among of money. They frequently run out of food.
4. The security was below standard. My tent zipper kept malfunctioning and would not close properly. A baboon was able to entire my tent and steal my backpack while I was on safari. Although the backpack was recovered, my clothes were spread on wet ground, plus my laptop and camera were damaged.
5. Luke warm water that you had to request be turned on.
6. Limited electricity (6:30 pm - 10:00pm and 5:30 am-7:00 am). Again, this was not disclosed in the advertisement.
7. Dirty carpet and plenty of insects.
8. A mosquito net with holes.
Not worth the $340 cash (they insisted on cash for a good reason, I would contest the charge on my card if they accepted credit or debit) I paid for three days. In short, the trip was over advertised and under provided.

Amazing 4 Day Safari! Must Book!
Lucas was planned an amazing 4 day group safari for us! From accommodations to our safari driver to delicious food to creating a group with great dynamics, the entire experience was spectacular. As a plus, we were able to see the big 5 during the safari and our driver made sure of this! Finally, Lucas ended our tour by sharing gifts with us from Tanzania, which was extremely thoughtful.
Overall, I would highly recommend Serengeti African Tours to book your safaris. The company pays attention to detail and cares about the customers they serve!

Fantastic accommodations, great food, adventurous safari and an experienced safari guide
Lion King Adventures were professional from our first communication and planning, to the safari itself. The accommodations they had picked for us were really great. Especially Maraboi Tented Camp is highly recommended. Our guide, Salehe, was very pleasant and experienced. He could spot animals like no one else and he had much knowledge about them. We ran into some car-trouble, and he was a mechanic too :) . Calmly he fixed our vehicle with no interruption to our trip. We are very satisfied with our safari trip and I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures.

Amazing
I have been using Skywide for about 3 years and I am so happy. Peter is quick and efficient in helping you look for options and book. I really enjoyed my 2 trips over the December holidays.

Great team for a great experience!
The safari was just amazing! The organisation of the trip was very uncomplicated and fast, our drivers were super nice guys ( thanks espacially to Aaron). Also the accomodations were amazing, especially the one in Ngorongoro. This trip was a blast, we will remember this experience for ever!

I cannot recommend Suricata enough!
I cannot recommend Suricata enough! Elias our guide was wonderful. He is clearly extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He also was fantastic at getting great views of wildlife sightings without disturbing the wildlife itself which was very important to us. We saw other companies going off road/getting too close to the animals but Elias never did and neither did the other Suricata vehicles convoying with us. The team setting up camp and cooking were amazing - friendly and extremely helpful. We are both vegetarian and the food was incredible- very flavourful and always so much of it! We had the most wonderful experience and would definitely use them again in the future/recommend to a friend.

Kenya Twiga Tour
My wife and I recently completed a 12-day trip to Kenya that was booked through Twiga Tours and focused mostly on safaris. We really did enjoy the whole trip and loved the variety of places we visited and the wildlife experiences: Nairobi, Samburu, Ol Pajeta, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli. There’s nothing we would have changed because each area really had its own special highlight that we would not want to miss, and the order we visited them seemed just right too.
Our guide and driver, Martin, was with us throughout the trip and this was a great bonus. He was always ready on time, his vehicle was clean and well kitted out for both long road journeys and safaris, he knew his way around everywhere, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, and he was very friendly and helpful. He was, in fact, one of the highlights of the holiday.
We would certainly commend Twiga Tours and Martin. We loved Kenya and I feel certain that we will return in the not too distant future.
One point worth noting though was how slow it took to get through the security systems at JKI Airport in Nairobi on departure. One needs to allow plenty of time. This did not detract from what was a wonderful holiday though.
