Great, Excellent, Unforgettable!!!
5/5

We booked a trip to Nyiragongo from Kigali with Barack and Kennedy. From the first moment of the communication, Barack and Kennedy were very attentive, reactive and helpful. They were patient to respond to our multiple questions, give explanations and cooperate in order to get everything ready and to have a smooth journey. We met Barack on time in Kigali and had a very pleasant ride to Gisenyi were we have spent our night. Then in the morning we have passed the Rwanda-DRC border without any problem and Barack was all the time next to us helping with all formalities. The hike itself was wonderful, accompanied with rangers and very nice guide who kept us entertained all the route. Once ot the top, we enjoyed a VERY TASTY dinner prepared by a chef, who was just magician, to prepare such a dinner in very strict conditions. Nyiragongo itself was unbelievebly wonderful, we stayed almost all the night staring to its lake of flames. The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast and headed back to the camp wHere Barack was already waiting for us. Again thanks to Barack we had very smooth border crossing. Afterwards he took us to hot source, it was really good after the difficult hike. Then driving back to Kigali. All the road Barack kept us entertained with different funny stories. We had a lifetime experience and I am really thankful to Barack and Kennedy. I will definetly book another tour with them next time I am in Rwanda/Kigali/Ouganda.

Trip to Remember
5/5

I was extremely impressed with the customer service given by the whole team. I could tell they wanted to make this the best experience for us and they did not fail to do so. They accommodated our special requests and resolved any problems we had during the tour. This was first-class service. Their attention made it a trip to remember.

Above and beyond our expectations!
5/5

Our driver and guide Jeremy really made this trip unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time and saw all the animals our group was interested in seeing - even the elephants! I would definitely recommend doing a safari with Jeremy!

Amazing Gorilla's tracking tour experience!
5/5

Meeting gorillas is definetely once in a life time experience especially when organisation is at such a great level! I was in contact with Monica and she was 100% available and ready to answer to all the questions, quickly and efficiently. The driver Allan was very professional and friendly, thank you for the great time spent together.
The lodge where we stayed was absolutely amazing with breathtaking view on Virunga mountains. Memories from the balcony with the astonishing view are one of the dearests from that trip.
The gorilla's tracking is undoubtedly the best travel experience I've had in my life till now so thank you Encounter Africa Safaris for organizing this trip.
Highly recommended tour operator!

Mokoro Tour - Amazing experience
5/5

In October 2019 my wife and I did a 3 day (2 nights) Mokoro tour with Shipungo Safari & Tours in the Okavango Delta.

Starting with the excellent organization, our experienced poler and guide with whom we had amazing experiences on our tours and the camp staff who i.a. prepared great food for us, we were very satisfied.

We were also lucky not to have to share the camp with any other fellow travellers (in contrast to other tour operators who do such tours with 20 people).

We would book again via Shipungo at any time and can highly recommend the company.

Fantastic Safari Honeymoon Adventure
5/5

We had a fabulous honeymoon safari with Lion King Adventures. From the personal visit from the company owner on the first day to the hospitality of our excellent guide Goodluck (who lived up to his name), our trip couldn't have been better. The hotels chosen for us were amazing, going to sleep in a luxury tent to the sound of lions roaring and being woken up to elephants really gave you the feel of being in nature. Goodluck made the trip, he made sure we saw everything we wanted, even driving an hour to see a leopard up close because we hadn't seen one yet, and yes we saw the big five, even the Rhino. We would recommend Lion King to everyone.

African Travels provides comfortable and heavenly road trip from West to East Cape in South Africa.
5/5

We had the best service ever experienced, with our tour operator Marieke from African Travels.
We build our road trip up, she gave us all the advice wanted and needed.
The guesthouses were all comfortable, clean, silent, and the hosts were friendly, kind and helpfull.
To start are roadtrip we were handed a full tour description from guesthouse to guesthouse, with all vouchers needed and extra information about the area we were visiting.
Marieke was stand by when nescessary, but evereything was so well prepared!
Many thanks to African Travels for making our trip excellent!

Professional and very responsive!
5/5

Joseph was very responsive to our e-mails and ensured that everything went smooth sailing. He even delivered our masai blankets gift directly to our door (when we left it in the car).

Tony the tour guide/driver was very nice. He ensured that we saw the big five and was very responsive and flexible as well! He even helped arrange a surprise dinner for our family

2 Magical Nights!
5/5

Joseph, the tour contact was immediately reponsive once i sent my quotation and I couldn't be happier with the choices provided to me! The cheapest camp offered is still more expensive than the others offered on this site but for a good reason. You still get the camping experience without sacrificing hot water and electricity! Enkorok Mara Camp staff are simply wonderful and super blessed to have gone with this package! No regrets, would do again! Our tour guide Alex, went over and beyond to search for the big 5 and helped us get GREAT PHOTOS. All in all, an experience of a lifetime.
