3 Day Safari to Amboseli National Park
Our experience was absolutely fantastic. I wasn't sure where to start searching for safari's and to be honest was a little weary of the vast number of companies and who might or might not be legit. Using SafariBooking was a great tool for us to find a tour that was perfect for our schedule. We had to be in Rwanda for business and decided to travel a few days earlier to get in a quick safari.
Right from the start, communication and responses were quick and provided all the information requested. I didn't find any official website so this is where the skepticism came into play, but the night before we received contact information for our driver and he was there to pick us up at our scheduled time. Due to the tour we booked and timing, we managed to have a tour bus just for the two of us (it was just my mother and I traveling).
Travel out to the park was an experience, not being used to how travellers drive on the road took a while to get use to. Travel out to the park took about 5 hours and we stopped just off the main road at this store/market type place that had souvenirs from the local villages. We arrived at the park on day 1 about noon so we were able to drop our bags off and head to the dining room for lunch. We decided to upgrade for the superior lodging (Serena Lodge) and it was a great experience. Rooms were nice and spacious, clean and we had netting round the beds. We didn't get a chance to lay by the pool. In the morning before heading out for the morning game drive we did have some animals just off the property near the back terrace.
Our schedule for the 3 days were as follows: Day 1 - 7am pick up, noon arrival at lodge, 6pm game drive, Day 2 - 6am - 8/9 game drive returning for breakfast then 6pm game drive. Day 3 - 6-8 game drive, 11 am departure for Nairobi Airport. We got 4 game drives and we felt this was enough for us given the short time we had. We saw all the animals we wanted to except the cheetah, we saw giraffes, elephants were lucky enough to get close to a lion and lioness.
Overall we had a great experience for what we paid and would highly recommend to anyone interested.

Fantastic service and perfectly organized safari
We contacted Migada from Sweden to help us organize our safari in Tanzania. They have been very quick to respond to my emails and very helpful. Thanks to all the staff in the Migada office!
The service on arrival was beyond our expectations and our driver Donald was very nice and did his outmost to make our stay memorable.
We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire; all very different from each other and therefor I would recommend to include all three in the intinerary. We stayed in Okaseni Lodge the first night. Very good location between Arusha and Tarangire. The staff at the lodge was very nice and service minded. Our second lodge was Bougainvillea Lodge and offered very nice bungalows and a pool. We also had two nights at Serengeti Katikati Tented Camp which was really special! It was a very special to stay in the middle of Serengeti National Park.
I can really recommend to contat Migada for your safari in Tanzania!

Excellent service and protective of clients
We always love to have Africa Tours and Safaris plan our dental mission tours.
We had special treatment wherever we went because they made sure that we are treated right.
Even when there were any problems, they took care of the problems right away instantly and we felt very well cared for.They take the stress of planning trips out of the tours which allows us to concentrate on the work we go to do and subsequent relaxation after work.
I highly recommend Africa Tours and Safaris for those planning to visit Kenya and surrounding countries.
They are extremely reliable and you get value for your money and more.

A perfect safari
I just finished a 4 days safari with Crater Explorer Tours, and really enjoyed.
The Serengeti was really a dream, and the camps were basic but a good wilderness experience as wild animals can walk in the tent by night.
I also have to thank the agency, Emanuel the manager, and Frank the guide / driver.
Everything was serious and well organized.
Frank has a great knowledge of the animals, and found for us the big five.
Emanuel also planned a tour for us after the safari, to go to beautiful hot springs before our flight.
I recommend this agency!

Best Tour Service I’ve ever experienced
Deep End Safaris is one of the most detailed your service I’ve worked with. I came into Uganda to work for about 3 months and I never had to worry about anything related to transportation, safety, fun and getting the work done. Everything was settled and that gave me a lot of confidence and motivation. The owner, Samuel, is very detailed. He carried us along with every step we had to take. We felt very included. He also gave us very lovely stories about the culture of each place we went. He constantly was asking us if we were good and he never failed to show us kindness.
I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed working with this your company. And I would say if you want to experience the best of Uganda without having to worry about anything, this is the company for you.
Such an EXCELLENT service and experience

Excellent Service
City tour - I enjoyed this tour, rode the boda- boda, visited the place of interests within Kampala. Jackson explained the history and give enough information of the places.
The next day I had a tour in Jinja to see the source of the nile river, had a relaxing boat ride. Then we headed to see the Equator, had lunch there and bought some souvenirs.
The amount I paid was all worth it, Jackson a promising excellent tourguide, who is passionate on his work.
I am recommending his tours and his service 100%.

Surreal safari expert friendly guide
We booked a last minute safari (3 days around the mara) with Jockey and it was brilliant. Our tour guide, Francis, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. We ended up seeing everything apart from a rhino which was brilliant, which wouldn't have been possible without Francis and his expertise. A real Jurassic park-like unforgettable time, highly recommend!

The Best in All of Kenya / Tanzania
There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am for working with EKS on our 12 day journey through Kenya. As a professional photographer I need to rely on the very best and that mission was certainly accomplished. Expectations were certainly met and from Day one having Simon Peter , Simon and Jonathan guide for us provided the best service. They knew where all the animals should be and their knowledge of all local wildlife is surpassed by none. I have never photographed so many animals and scenes in such a short span pf time. The Big Five was covered right away and from then on the trip just got better each day.
I am especially lucky to have spent all 12 days with my new friend Jonathan, His humor, professionalism, and his genuine passion for producing the best safari experience was always first class. He cared so much about my experience and it is shown is professional. As a photographer I hoped to be put in the best possible positions to get the shot and there were so many times that John just knew what to do without even me asking. That is instinct and service you need to rely on. I will never entertain coming back to Kenya without working with EKS and John. I without a doubt recommend this guide service and in our 12 days together we had an amazing time and all of our needs were met beyond expectations.
On a personal note I will certainly miss Jonathen, Simon Peter and Simon. Getting to know them was really great and feel like I have made 3 news buddys that I will always want to share Tuskers with…
EKS is without a doubt top notch service and you will be glad you worked with them. If you do not believe me here are a couple of images…

Knowledgeable
We were fortunate to work with EKS for our 12 day safari. In 20 years of travel as a professional photographer, this group was first rate. Their knowledge, professionalism and and humor made our trip stress free. 12 days is a long time to spend with anyone and they made it feel like we were with friends and never strangers.
Simon Peter, Simon and Johnathan couldn’t have done a better job as our guides. As photographers they strives to put us in the best positions and also did a great job spotting and educating along the way. If you are making the journey to Kenya, EKS is the way to go.
