Excellent 6-day safari - we recommend
We booked a six day, two person (couple) private safari to Masai mara (2 nights), lake Nakuru (1 night) and Amboselli (2 night) in safari van. Charles was our guide and he could not be more experienced, interesting and knowledgeable, he knows every bit of the parks and works to track down the best sights - we saw a lion kill a buffalo!! The tour was very reliable and well organised, for example the car had a problem with the petrol filter but Charles got it fixed over a lunch break, and Kenyan run which is a plus for us. The only thing I personally would change about our trip is I would skip Lake Nakuru and probably add an extra day in Masai mara, as there was a lot of driving and although the lake was interesting it was the least of the three. We strongly recommend staying in the mara park itself as the unfenced lodges have animals that come in overnight! Having the van to ourselves was also great as you can move around to either side/back/front to see the animals best. We would certainly use Beacon Safaris again if we are able to come back to safari in Kenya.

The perfect Safari
Everything was very well organised. Our Guide (Andrew) and the Chef (Machete) were excellent! Andrew is very experienced and knew all the good spots for the animals. We saw the „big 5“ multiple times!

Excellent tour operator & guide
We spent 9 days touring Namibia: Etosha, Namibie dessert, Petrified forest, bushman engravement, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and sand dunes. Our guide Alpheus Kaakunga was great. He was our driver and guide all the way since we were pick up at the airport till he dropped us at the airport again for our departing flight. Very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. Our group was small, only 4, so we have enjoyed every minute of it.

Very good operator! You can trust!
We went for a 3 days / 2 nights Safaris in the Mara at Basecamp Explorer. Beacon Safaris have planned all the trip for us! We had a great experience with everything (accommodation, meals, etc.) The driver (Antony) is Excellent! He was explaining us a lot about the animals, the Mara, The Maasai people, etc. We really appreciated that he took time to explain us a lot of things during the Safaris!

Amazing, friendly, knowledgeable
After visiting the Mountain Gorillas on another tour, we knew there was more
to see of Rwanda. We reviewed several tour operators and selected Lush Safaris. We were not disappointed. We spent additional 4 days seeing more of Rwanda. The tour guide and driver were knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. It was a great addition to the gorilla adventure.

Unforgettable time in Nairobi with Aardwolf..
Aardwolf Africa took us on a safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara. We left our hotel early in the morning and first stop was at the Giraffe Center which was about 30 min drive. This was a nice place to visit in the morning. Then we drove to Masai Mara, the place I wanted to visit. We spent 3 days camping in the Mara. The camping was amazing and the staff was very friendly. We were picked up and dropped off in the Nairobi center. The accommodation was very basic but it was clean. The food was buffet style and it was good. The game driver was great. We saw a lot of animals including leopards. The trip was great.

Frena Adventure was more than a professional level; Our guide Apollo felt more like a family.
We landed at Entebbe, Uganda later than the plan originally had, but Apollo and Abraham tried to fit all the activities during the stay, and actually provided us all the itinerary and schedules we were supposed to have.
Apollo was perfect in terms of speaking English. We had no problems sharing our thoughts on wonderful nature of Uganda and sometimes talk about our lives in Korea and Uganda. We shared so much things together as human-beings not as tourists and a guide.
Gorilla trekking was worth that money, and so did Chimpanzee trekking. We saw marvelous forest and very different kinds of animals dwelling harmonious in one place.
When passing through the Kazinga Channel, hundreds of hippos and alligators, even a pack of elephants welcomed us. Aside from eating packed lunch from the lodge, we spoke with Apollo that we want to try very local cuisine, and so we did.
The most memorable moment is not one, but every single moment was precious and our family was living with uncountable happiness all time.
I thank you very much Apollo, and dear Frena Adventures for supporting our first tour at Africa. Uganda will stay in our heart forever.

6 day safari with every day a new highlight
After visiting a few other African countries it was now time for Tanzania. And it did not disappoint, the diversity and volumes of animals was mindblowing. We were even very lucky to experience the Great Migration. And the whole experience was made even more special because of the very personal and professional approach of the whole trip by Easy Travel. They looked after everything from start to finish (Thank you Voice from the Arusha office) But we would really like to give a very special mention to Harry, our guide and driver! Not only is he a very safe driver, but also an excellent spotter who would go the extra mile to give us the opportunity to see something special (like our first cheetah) Besides all the wildllife, we also had a great time on a personal level. We talked about our families, our countries and shared jokes. So, thank you Harry and we will be your ambassador from now on!

Unforgettable vacation
We choose African Big Cats Safaris because they offered a complete flexible program (7 days) in the recommended area to visit for the period of my vacation (January).
And we were right with this choice. Because it was difficult to book the flights in short term, they were very flexible with the program, and they recommended and arranged for me some good modifications to comply with my requirements.
The safari experience was unique. We visited Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Tarangire Park, Ndutu area and Ngorongoro Park. They were parks with dream trails, and we had a lot of time to enjoy what we have seen.
Our guide, Lovoi (a person very in love with the savanna), gave us a lot of explanations during the safari regarding the animals and now we have a much better understanding of the ecosystem in the national parks of Tanzania. He showed us a lot of animals (from small marmots until the big animals). Without him, we wouldn’t have been able to find all the animals in the savanna or in the bushes.
We saw a lot of from the big five (as promised) and, also, a big number of other animals (tens of thousands of antelopes, zebras, giraffes, flamingos…). Because it was the calving period, we also saw a lot of babies, even some no older than one day walking with the adults in endless rows of animals.
We made a lot of photos and videos every day because during the games we saw always something new.
The accommodation and food were above my expectations, and everything was perfect organized. Also, the persons in the lodges and camps were willingly to help us.
I can say that this was one of my best vacations in my life.
Thank you Lovoi.
Thank you ABCS.
