Perfect experience
I had the time of my life from the time I started communicating with the Agent to the last day of my Safari. He was very accommodative and friendly considering my booking was only two days to the Safari. I visited maasai mara and hells gate Naivasha.It was a surprise for my boyfriend who enjoyed the safari as well.

A marvelous adventure!
Excellent facilitation overall by Maasai Mara Train Safaris. I'd seen the Big 5 in a day- that most visitors did not. Thanks to driver Sammy who is very experienced in the area- from Nairobi to vast game reserve of the Maasai Mara region. He was able to dodge traffic jams in the highway and get a good vantage point to see the animals in the Reserve. On our way to and in the area, Maasai Mara Train Safaris personnel calls to check my whereabouts, explained my onward journey, and answered my questions. The driver ensured we had food and water for the day, was able to keep time within limits, and was also able identify and talk about a few important characteristics of the animals which was all I need. And given that I was on a low budget (I paid the lowest fees compared to my fellow visitors on the same journey), it was truly the best value for my money.
Some areas I could recommend- is to maintain a First Aid Kit in the vehicle for common motion problems. The driver must also know how to administer basic first aid procedures and AR. Additionally, it will make the travel more interesting if the driver could be better organized to tell significant stories about the places being travelled and visited- although this might to too much to expect from them, considering their role in the journey, and that it may require time and training resources to get them to that level.
Overall, it was an exciting adventure in the Kenyan Maasai Mara outback. Thanks to MAASAI MARA TRAIN SAFARIS. You deserve a big 5-star!

Gorilla Tracking in Uganda
The Encounter Africa Safari communicates efficiently when I reached them for the information of the Gorilla Tracking Tour. They provide enough genuine information about the trip, and the service is exactly as described in their e-mail. They provide airport pick up, hotel drop off. The driving to national park takes the whole day, and they can arrange the meals, accommodation and the local guides for the Gorilla tracking.
It is recommended that you should book the Gorilla Tracking trip in advance as there is a restriction on the number of visitors to each Gorilla Family every day. The trip requires good physical ability of hiking, especially for certain families happening to occur in high mountain on the visiting day. It can be labor-demanding to reach them but when you find the silver back family, it is totally worth it.

The organisation for travels to Africa if you want a personal, amazing and special trip.
Everything we wanted was included in our trip. The communication before the trip and during the trip was really good, we could ask for anything! Charlie Travels made sure that we had the trip of our dreams!

Unforgetable safari...go for it!!
If you are looking for a professional tour operator for your African safari, you've found it!
We had a 10 days safari visiting lake Manyara, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater, the banana plantations in Mto Wa Mbu and the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. It was all very well organized and we had an unforgettable experience that we want to repeat again with them!
All the team from "Cross to Africa Safaris" has been great! Anthony (the manager) planned the amazing our trip: he was very professional, very helpful and flexible with our requests and always available and ready during the planning process. The guide/driver (Ahadi) has been the most professional safari guide we ever met: he is extremely knowledgeable (we nicknamed him "Google"!), a great person and he knows how to make you experience the safari at its best (e.g., he always knew when to wait for an interesting scene, where to spot animals and how to position the car for you to take the best photo!). And finally, the cook (Baraka) was always making us feel home with his food!
Don't hesitate and choose them for your own safari!

4 DAYS 3 NIGHTS MASAI MARA PRIVATE SAFARI
We booked a 4 day’s private safari in Kenya with Africa Flash McTours and we couldn’t have chosen a better partner. From the beginning, they were always extremely available and ready to adapt the program to our requests. We wanted to stay at a specific camping in Masai Mara where there was initially no availability and Peter was tireless trying to get us to book our three nights at this camping. Thank you, Peter, for all the dedication and kindness from the beginning

A wonderful and safe experience with Encounter Africa Safaris.
I had a fantastic 3-day gorilla trek with Encounter Africa Safaris. As a solo female traveler, safety was my first priority; Martin (my driver/guide) made me feel comfortable and did a great job driving the entire 9-hour journey from Nansana to the Bwindi Forest. The gorilla trek itself was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but be warned that the hike is extremely difficult - not for the novice hiker.

Special occasion for a trip made extra special
Tanzania Choice Safaris did an amazing job with a trip my nephew and I took to celebrate his high school graduation. From beginning to end, TCS was attentive and responsive. Brenda and Kakasii put together an itinerary that worked well with the time we had in country and our interests. We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti. Our guide, Leslie was knowledgeable, friendly, and great company. We had a wonderful time on our safari and have some lifetime memories thanks to Tanzania Choice Safaris!
