The most amazing trip of my entire life.
Words can't really describe how wonderful our trip to Africa was with Ker and Downey. Not only did we have the most memorable experience with excellent game viewings and excursions, but our lodgings were second to none, and all needs were taken care of so thoroughly. I've traveled extensively around the world and without a doubt this was the best trip I've taken and also the smoothest. I credit a lot of it to Emma Perrin, our travel agent with Ker and Downey. She kept us so informed before, during, and after the trip and made sure things went seamlessly and organized. I can't thank her enough for opening our eyes to the natural beauty and wonderful people of Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. There's no doubt that I will use Ker and Downey again for future African adventures and would request them to everyone I know thinking about venturing to Africa- and I already have. Thank you SO much! -Grant and Bekah; Memphis, TN, USA

Perfection
The communication was outstanding from start to finish. Prices were clearly laid out. Information and phone numbers for pick up at airport was fantastic. Definitely made the trip smooth and worry free.
If you are thinking about doing this trip- dont hesitate. We are back at home and still not over the experience. We will definitely go back and do it again. We saw the big 5 on our 4 day tour, what and experience! We have a new found appreciation for birds due the endless knowledge on everything in the park by our absolutely amazing tour guide Hoppy!!
Definitely worth the money and food is fantastic. I would also make sure you have a good camera. We had an old SLR and the pictures were great. A phone gets good up close but you definitely want a zoom.
Trip of a lifetime and an experience I wont forget. Thanks again Hoppy!!

I summit on Top of Africa. 6 Days Machame Route (Thanks Isack Chief Guide )
I summit on Top of Africa at Kilimanjaro last month with Safari Bando Company, and had the most amazing experience! The guides were so knowledgeable, and took great lengths to make the experience as enjoyable as possible! Health was a clear priority, which on such an expedition was very important, especially on summit day.
Overall I was extremely glad that I summated Uhuru Peak with Safari Bando Company, and had an extremely positive experience.
We highly recommended Safari Bando for trekking Kilimanjaro

10-day wildlife safari in Uganda - birds, gorillas, chimpanzees, and more!
Birding in Paradise set up and executed a fantastic Uganda visit for my wife and me! From the first contact nearly a year before the trip, I knew that Johnnie and Agnes Kamugisha would be terrific hosts. They listened to my feedback on initial versions of their itineraries and they made sure that we would maximize our time there. While Johnnie is an elite bird guide, he knew that the first reason I wanted to visit Uganda was to see mountain gorillas. The itinerary worked birding around the gorillas, and we also worked in a day for chimpanzee trekking. The itinerary also included visits to Mabamba Swamp to see the mighty shoebill, Lake Mburo National Park to find African finfoot, Ruhija for mountain gorilla trekking and birding, and Queen Elizabeth National Park for more birding, looking for lions, and chimpanzee trekking. I knew Johnnie had amazing attention to detail when he met us at the airport and said he was tracking our flight status live so he could be there at the right time. The places we stayed, Lake Victoria View Guest House, Rwakobo Rock, Trekker's Tavern, and Bush Lodge were all perfect for our budget. The food was great, and each place took care to ensure we had a good experience. From Bush Lodge, our deck looked out to the Kazinga channel with elephants and hippos! Johnnie is, simply put, an incredible birder. He has an amazing ear, and he helped us spot, identify, and list 353 species of birds, something special for a 10-day trip. He also knows the mammals, reptiles, and amphibians one might encounter while birding. He drove us safely for 1,000s of kilometers around the country in a well-stocked 4x4, including a cool box, plenty of water, and a power outlet to charge all our gadgets. He always paid attention to what was happening with our activities to ensure we would have the best experience. All of this was done in a way that met our budget perfectly. I recommend Johnnie and Agnes unreservedly to plan your East Africa adventure!

The trip to Tangarire and Ngorogoro was fantastic.
Two of us went on the weekend safari to Tangarire and Ngorogoro. Don had just climbed Kilimanjaro so was looking for R&R. I have a long attachment to Africa.
The trip was astonishing from the first entry into Tangarire. Settling down by a watering hole were a pride of lions snoozing after a kill. But they hadn't counted on this Bull elephant wanting a drink! What a show watching the Bull chase away the lions much to the relief of thirsty zebra and wildebeest. The trip continued in brilliant fashion thanks to the knowledge and keen eyesight of our driver.
The organisation of the trip was ideal with an overnight stay at a lodge complete with bar good food and swimming pool.
Phil the director of Aardvark went out of his way to a accomodate our needs for the trip.
I would highly recommend this company to everyone.
