It is a scam company, Eric took $400 deposit from us and disappeared!! Don’t book with them!!
Don’t book with them at all, it is a SCAM company!!! We lost $400 and two days time! The guy called Eric Muchai took our money and disappeared!!
Here is our story:
We contacted this guy Eric who is the owner of Tracks Berg Travel couples of weeks ago before our trip to Kenya on the 21st Feb 2019. He replied to all my emails with a price of $580 which including pick up service on the 21st Feb, girafe center visit, and 25-26th trip to Nakuru with game drive and one night hotel, as we need to leave Nairobi on the 26th noon time back to airport.
He came and picked us at the airport on the 21st with a driver in a silver old car, and we paid him $400 cash as I said I would pay him the remaining amount by 25th when we meet again to Nakuru.
He was still reachable by 24th evening through the phone and promised he would pick us in our hotel Nairobi and drive us to Nakuru on the 25th morning 7:30am. We waited for about 2 hours in the morning and nobody came...we called him and emailed him, his phone was off all the time and never reply to our emails...we have to take taxi to his office which claimed to be at Vision Plaza, Mombasa on his website and the attached receipt, which it turned out to be a fake company, there’s no such office at all there, we wasted another 3 hours to search around and have to report this to the police!
It is such a nightmare for us as we planed our two last days in Nakuru to enjoy our last moment here, but we have to stay in Nairobi from 25-26th calling and visiting police and searching for him. Eric Muchai is a cheater, liar and scammer! Everything he said is fake, there’s no office, no driver, no booking to hotel (as we called the hotel in Nakuru that he said he booked, the hotel told us there’s no booking under us or him...). We are very disappointed and surprised to see there’s such company / people would scam tourists in Kenya. Hope the police can find him very soon as what we saw, this is not the first time he is scamming tourists.
The trip ended up unpleasant wasting our time and money, and we want to make sure NOBODY ELSE WOULD EVER BOOK WITH HIM ANYMORE! It is a SCAM and avoid this company and Eric forever!!!

The best family holiday and a safari to die for!
We had the most amazing holiday in the Kruger National Park with Armadillo Overland Safaris and our guides Alistair and Richard. Their safari vehicle 'Truck Norris' is unlike anything out there. It had a library of books for the Kruger Park region, wifi, charging ports, fridges, a coffee station, an honesty bar and even a loo on-board! The set-up of the truck was fantastic for the trip to the Kruger Park as our whole group could interact with each other. The windows are huge for game viewing / photographs and there is lots of space to keep your camera gear on-board with you while on a game drive. Alistair is so knowledgeable about the Kruger Park region, it is clear that he is passionate about the bush and conservation. I never expected to learn so much about the Kruger region, from the geology to the flora, fauna and birds you will find around the different areas of the Kruger Park. The accommodation was very comfortable and we had an incredible time around the campfire. The food, courtesy of Richard, was absolutely delicious! I cannot believe the range of dishes that he was able to make over a campfire - even flapjacks! The entire trip was organised so well and there were no hidden costs. I thought it was really good value for money.

Fun, professional, and great experience
My Boyfriend and I did a budget tour and we had the best time. Carlson and Bato were professionals and kind. They made sure we had everything we needed and broke everything down clearly before we paid. Bato picked us up from the airport and dropped us off wich is so nice. David Simba was our guide and he did a wonderful job. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He drove safely and made the safari even more fun. Meshak was our cook and he mad delicious meals. I dont think I have ever meet such a kind hearted man. We got to see all the best animals close up and had the best time!!!! I would highly recommend going with them!

Excellent trip planning down to every last detail!
From the first emails with Lizette at Adventura I was very impressed. She asked the right questions and was able to plan a tour for us in South Africa, suggesting the perfect itinerary. Although we only had in mind a safari, she also suggested 3 days in Cape Town and a final evening in Johannesburg. Every minute - from the time our plane landed to the time we took off, was perfectly planned. We had an excellent guide and driver in Cape Town - Marco - who was able to fit an extraordinary amount of sites and adventures into 3 days without seeming rushed. Our Safari at Jamala Madikwe was the stuff of dreams. We were crying when we left. And our final stay at the Saxon in Johannesburg was a nice way to pamper ourselves before our return to real life. Adventura also took care of all the little details from meals at great restaurants, airport transfers, charter flights and even arranged to have someone take us through customs to meet our connecting flight. I can't over state how well we were treated and taken care of. The owner of Adventura, Shaun, even organized a surprise vineyard lunch and cooked for us himself!!! I can recommend Adventura Africa with every bone of my body!!!

Amazing
What an excellent experience! We've just returned from the 7 day tour around Kenya (Samburu, Mara, Lakes). Australken did a great job at facilitating the experience. Our driver / guide was wonderful, and we were provided with delicious and plentiful food throughout the week. We saw every animal we ever dreamt of seeing enjoyed the variety of activities (not just safari drives 24/7). The journeys between parks were long and tiring, but I have no doubt that it was 100% worth it.

Best service ever
Elie and his team made the trip we had in the best way possible. If you want to spend some time with either the gorilla's or only a trip in the Kivu area, ZoZo safaris is the best choose for your trip.

A great personalized experience
This tour operator really cares about their clients - Naomi was super helpful in arranging everything for our trip to Amboseli, even in booking an uber for me! The tour was personalized, not overcrowded (only two of us and the driver) and the accommodations were lovely. I would highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect from day 1
Everything was fast knowing that we started contact 5 days prior to arrival
Communication was fast reliable and very precise.
Service on the ground was excellent, choice of lodge amazing and the people involve make the trip a total difference.
Our flight was delay and we miss the connection, manage to organize a visit to the swamp to track the shoebill
Can’t recommend more and will return soon as Uganda has so much to offer
