Uncredible Safari
4/5

We had a wonderful safari, we‘ve seen many animals, not just the Big Five. Often we could see the animals up close, elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos... Our driver and guide, Hoza, has brought us many unforgettable moments, sometimes we were alone for a long time. Hoza was very welcoming, he was very knowledgeable and knew where to find the animals. He has patiently fulfilled every photo request and my wish to see also little elephants.
Evelyn and her team took care of everything in advance and after the Safari, we werde very happy with the service.
The only downside was the partly worn and broken equipment (chairs!). In addition, the sanitary facilities on the campsite in the Serengeti were extremely neglected, some of the doors of the toilets were hung and there was no light ...

I was very satisfied and they delivered what they agreed to!
5/5

I was looking for a tour company located in Kenya. I came across Twinkle Star Tours and Safaris and I spoke to James and told him what I wanted, what I could afford, I was traveling with a teenager , and that I wanted to see the Great Migration. He came up with an amazing Safari that was very affordable. He offered me a 12 days Safari to Kenya and Tanzania.
James and his family greeted us to Kenya. We visited 6 National Parks and saw the Great Migration from the banks of the Masai Mara Reserve. AWESOME!!!!
We experienced a variety of very comfortable accommodations including the tented camp in the Serengeti (my request). All the accommodations, food, servers, and guides were great. James contacted us everyday to make sure everything was going the way we had agreed to.
If you’re planning to visit East Africa, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TWINKLE STAR TOURS AND SAFARIS.

African Safari Dream Come True With Seth Vincent
5/5

Hi
I just returned to California from 13 days African Safaris in Kenya and Tanazania including Zanzibar.
I spent August 2019 in Africa and a week in Germany on my way back to the US.
I had a dream vacation.
I was picked from Nairobi airport by Eric, a kind fluent English speaking guide and was brought to the fanciest
hotel you can imagine namely Sarova Stanley where I met Seth.
Seth is the organizer who arranges different guides for different activities and countries.
Eric was with me in Nairobi for the elephant rescue center, giraffe center and Tribes of Africa experience.
Another Guide, intelligent, fluent English speaking and kind by the name Morris drove me to dream places
including Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naviasha.
Upon crossing to the Tanzanian border I was picked by Sam Biagga. I enjoyed the company of a college educated,
kind hearted guide who even invited me for dinner at his house in Arusha Tanzania. Sam took me through the Seregenti
to Lake Maynara and to Arusha. Every question about wildlife was answered with thorough knowledge.
The selection of places and activities was excellent. I saw the Big 5 , wildebeest migration and much more.
In each border crossing and each airport the guides were waiting for me upon arrival.
Seth was monitoring each step of my trip and talked to me through whatsapp routinely to make sure everything is allright.
All the lodges and hotels were of top quality. Even in the middle of the Seregenti, surrounded by baboons and hyenas, the
lodge had electricity and wifi as Seth promised as I needed electricity for my CPAP breathing machine.
Each advice that Seth gave me came true: I went to Kruger in South Africa to see another safari. Though I do not regret visiting
South Africa and Kruger is an experience by itself, yet like Seth told me you can see all the wild life you desire in Kenya/Tanzania
and there is no need to go to South Africa.
Seth told me in Nairobi how much cash to prepare for tips and casuals. I did not listen and ended up wasting time on unnecessary trips to ATMs.
In my view Seth can arrange a dream safari/vacation for you for your money. He knows the travel business inside out. He knows to hire/contract the highest quality tour guides. He cares about you.

Before my trip people asked me in California: "What you are not afraid to go to Africa by yourself?"
Now Africa is big, but in Kenya and Tanzania you will enjoy hospitality, English speaking population and you are in countries
that respect tourism as it is so crucial to their economies.
Also if you are afraid that you will wire money to an operator on SafariBookings and you will become a victim to a scam, it
is very unlikely to happen. My Tanzanian guide explained to me that operators who appear on safaribookings are tightly licensed and
regulated by the governments of Tanzania and Kenya.

To conclude: Trust Seth Vincent and you will have a great vacation

Great experience, guide and value for money
5/5

Initial communication was very easy and Robert sorted us out with what we wanted.

Anthony was a great tour guide throughout. Shared so much knowledge with us and knew where all the good spots were. We saw lions, cheetahs and leopards all on our first day!

We stayed at ilkeliani camp which was lovely. Would definitely recommend. Our tent was incredible, very comfy bed and friendly staff.

Thanks so much

Great safari, bush walks and hiking!
5/5

Our hiking tour through South Africa, Swasiland an Zululand was wonderful. Our guides Colly and Cloud from Sunway did a fantastic job spotting moving rocks as animals from far away, sharing all their huge knowledge about wild animals, history and living conditions with us and showing us very beatiful scenery on our hiking tours. They are very kind guys, well organised, excellent cooks and deal with all upcoming questions in a way everybody can feel well.
The accomodations were fine, it´s a good idea to stay two nights and than move on to the next. The small group of five made the bus to our mobile living room.
Thank you so much for the gorgeous experience!

Fantastic self drive family safari in Namibia - breathtaking - one of a a kind road trip!
5/5

Communication with Allison, our travel agent, has always been through emails - very pro and friendly behind her keyboard! She has always been kind to answer my numerous and diverse questions from safety, to places to explore, campsites or lodges to stay at, where to fill up the gas tank of our land cruiser truck, what to pack etc...
Allison has been incredibly attentive to my requests as building, kind of last minute (end of May), our family trip to Namibia which was taking place in August.
I have been lucky to be recommended to Allison by a very good friend who was also travelling with her family to Namibia - Allison even managed to have our families cross paths and spend one night at the same lodge!!!
She has been very helpfull and even on vacation herself during our trip, managed to check her inbox and answered my email.
IN her summer leave, a colleague of hers has been able to assist us with professionalism as we got stuck in a sand storm at Sessriem and we could not image camping out a second night - Christee found a lodge where the five of us could be accommodated - that made quite a difference to have a last minute service :)
To experiment the Namibian spirit, camping in a tented roof is a must and absolutely valued as one of a kind experience amongst our family.
Best is to have the privilege, as we did, to rest in the beautiful lodges once in a while to enjoy the Namibian hospitality.
I recommend 100% Cardboard Box travel to anyone who wish to book a one of a kind self drive safari in Namibia!

Great driver and great guide in one person Bosco
5/5

I was preparing my safari with Aron Mugisha and I must say that communication and suggestions, everything was very good. Based on places I wanted to visit he gave me Bosco who knows those places and also all the animals very well. He was very friendly and nothing I wanted was problem for him. I enjoyed very much and can recommend both guys.
