Beyond amazing
We enjoyed all of our safaris in Uganda.Moses was an excellent driver,our accommodations and food were all excellent.Uganda is a beautiful country and we were privileged to see so much and have many wonderful experiences.I have experienced other safaris in Uganda but the service provided by Africa Adventure vacations has been the best.I hope to return to Uganda again and I hope to travel more with your company.
Thank you and everyone at Africa Adventure Vacations for a wonderful time

Tremedous stay with a very friendly and highly capable staff.
We have been on the 6 days Safari tour staying in Tremisana lodge. The organisation is absolutely perfect. I wonder how the staff is organizing this challenge because there is a coming and going of visitors every day with different stays and differant Safari trips at also different locations. The guides and drivers are highly professional people who know their job, the driving, nature and wildlife perfectly. At dinner they are sitting and eating together with the guests like a big family. Stories about their professional carrier about wildlife and even their personnel situation and their family are told and there is a real feeling of understanding and sympathy coming up. One guy, called "Yannemann" is a very talentated great storyteller a bit like Hemingway, who tells his adventures in a special, very sympathic way. The food is top, the accomodations rustique but very nice the beds and matraces perfect, equiped with mosquito nets.
What can a tourist expect more ? I really dont know.
From my side and my wife, not a single complain.
Viva Safaris, . . . . one of the top 3 experiences of holidays we ever had in our life.

A great local company - thanks Antony for the unforgettable trip!
I'm a research freak and I like planning things to a T. When I started planning this trip I did lots of research, and I spoke to around 10 different companies. Tazama really stood out from the rest due to two reasons. 1, how quickly Antony responded and 2, the quote was reasonably priced. I also like the itinerary and the choice of accommodation that they offered. Everything was very well planned.
When we arrived we were disappointed to find out that the Antony we had been speaking to was not available (since his son was in the hospital which was perfectly understandable), so he sent another Antony to take care of us. Yet the trip still turned out to be great! Antony was always on time, has lots of knowledge about the animals and the culture, and he always knows where to take us, to makes sure we see everything. The 4x4 is my favourite - it was very comfortable, very clean and it was good fun to be driven around in that.
On the last day they even took us to the Giraffe Centre and treated us to dinner at Carnivore, which wasn't included in the trip as we discussed. What a surprise! Thanks for the arrangement :)
I love Kenya - love the safari, the culture, the people and everything. We will definitely be back and when we do, we will certainly speak to Tazama again.

Very nice tour!
In March of 2019 we did a 7 day gorilla/chimp tour with our guide Dan. We made quite some changes to the original initiatory to suit our travel needs, and we always got a fast reaction to all of our mails.
We were picked up from Entebbe airport and first had 3 days for our self in Kampala. then we did our safari. The lodges were beautiful (much better then we expected). And our guide was really kind.
We had the option to be dropped of in Kigali (Rwanda) after the safari had ended so we would have some days there as well.
In the end we're really happy we choose Kisoro!

The Safari of a Lifetime made easy
From the first contact with Natasha until our trip was booked the process was tailored to my needs. Natasha listened to what I wanted from our safari experience and made suggestions and provided options so we could tailor the trip to meet our needs. After we finalized our plans Natasha continued to stay in touch with us to make sure we had all the information we were ready to go. When we had airline problems she was ready to help us make an alternate plan if needed. I would be happy to book another trip with Sun Safaris and Natasha. We had the trip of a lifetime and it was all possible because of great planning and help from this group. Thanks so much for making this happen.

Unforgettable, great experience
We went on a week tour to Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo. It was an unforgettable journey and we enjoyed every minute!
The tours arranged were always well organized, interesting and a good mix. Emma our guide was just perfect. He knows and explained us a lot about culture, animals, plants etc. We can definitely recommend the trip and Buffalo to others.

Friendly and reliable company
We had an excellent and well informed guide. He took great pride in ensuring that we got the right angle for our photographs and whilst he did not promise the big five, I think he was quietly confident and sure enough we saw the five. Highly recommended Tanzania Exclusive Journeys.

Our tour operator was extremely reliable, very experienced and flexible for our indiviudal needs.
Everything was arranged perfectly. There is no more to say than we would anytime arrange any trip in Tanzania with Karibu World again.

Perfect Safari for family of three with Massai Guides and plenty of animals to see
We had booked our safari with Ilse from Matoke Tours and were very pleased with the whole booking process. Ilse provided valuable advice and helped us to compose our individual trip out of several of the standard Matoke offerings with multiple adjustments for us.
Everything worked out as planned - Nairobi, the safari at Masai Mara, Dar es salaam, whale sharks on Mafia Island.
We really enjoyed the safari at the very lovely Masai Mara Eden Camp - surprisingly with a private car with a driver and a guide (real Masai warriors ;-) only for us - we had not expected to get a private car. So everything was very flexible as we could decide anytime when to leave and return from our game drives - our 10y old son seemed to get never tired of driving around and hunting for new sightings, so we had very long days ;-) Maria Eden camp was a perfect fit for us - everything we needed but not to posh. The view onto the river with hippos und crocs was gorgeous, right from our tent.
Mafia Island was great. We snorkelled with 5 or 6 whale sharks. The change of lodging from Kiti Kiblu to Meremeta lodge was also very good as there is not much more to do than the whalesharks on the Kilidoni sido of the island and Kiti Kiblu was - as expected - really quite basic, good enough for 1 or 2 nights, but nothing for a week… Meremeta was a very good fit for us, we liked having dinner together with all the other guests on one long table. For a next time we would also consider staying at https://www.mafialodge.com/ as it is directly on the beach and had a nice buffet with good seafood, but might also be a different price range... Snorkelling in the Chole Bay was also very good - the corals are very healthy and there is lots of colorful fish.
The dayroom in Dar at the slipway hotel on our last day we appreciated a lot - we certainly would not have enjoyed spending 8 hours at DAR airport, and traffic in Dar was much better than expected.
