Andrew was the perfect guide.
We did have a fantastic trip to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.
Our guide Andrew was very good, he did make sure that we did get a experience for life. We did se the big five, the ugly five and many other animals.
We recommend Tazama Africa Holidays

The Best Tour/Safari I've Ever Taken
In short, this was the best tour/safari I've ever taken in 20+ years of traveling! We debated different tours/operators, but after completing the '10-Day Tailor-Made Holiday & Tour in Uganda –Big 5 Safari' tour, I can't image there being a better option.
From the beginning when we first made contact with 'Home To Africa' to the end of the tour, everything went as smoothly as possible. Communication with the company was excellent and we didn't experience a single issue during our 10-day tour.
Everyday was a new adventure and the daily events kept us busy (but we weren't overly rushed). The itinerary was well thought out as it did a good job balancing game drives, boat rides, treks, rest time, eating, shopping and driving between destinations.
Our guide for the tour, Amos, was simply outstanding. His vast knowledge of African wildlife and his passion for being in the wilderness is unbeatable, and it really added to our experience in Uganda. He was flexible when needed, but he kept us in line to make sure we stayed on schedule. He kept the conversation going when appropriate, but he would also allow us to enjoy the peacefulness/quietness of the wild.
The lodges which were selected for the tour were also top notch. With a mix of tents, lodges and hotels, I feel that we got to experience a nice range of accommodations in Uganda. Not to mention the meals served in these places were of excellent quality. And they provided so much food...hunger was never a concern!
All-in-all, I couldn't provide a higher recommendation for this company. Simply put, everything was perfect, and we hope to use 'Home To Africa' once again in the future.
Thanks for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Excellent,, I hade a wonderful experience.
I found Lenchada online while searching for Budget Safaris on you tube. My contact Hellen at Lenchada gave me all the details I needed and was there for me every step of the way. Nice to have a representative who is so helpful.
Our group of 4 got to spend time in the Masai Mara, Hells Gate Navashia, and Amboseli over the course of 6 days. Our driver Jimmy was very competent and a delightful tour guide. He made the trip enjoyable and we got to see so much up close.
The accommodations improved as the trip progressed ending with a wonderful stay at AA Lodge in Amboseli.
My expectations were well met and many times the safari exceeded them. I will be booking with Lenchada again.

Hamade took care of the details, each day was better then the last.
The guides were knowledgeable and patient with our group. Each day contained new and exciting adventures. Each night we were welcomed at amazing accommodations. The entire trip was like dream come true. With all the details taken care of, I was able to sit back and enjoy every minute. The entire team of Face of Africa made me want to return to Tanzania and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to go on Safari.

Marvellous roundtrip to spot the big five in amazing beautiful Tanzanian landscapes
Christopher gave us the experience of our life. We had the luck to be able to make a 26 day during roundtrip along all the highlights. We did spot the big five and over 100 exotic, mostly unknown birds. For us there is no doubt: we didn't miss any wildlife we passed. Every big and little animal, bird was spotted by Christopher, he recognises all and knows all by name. He also told us a lot about life in Tanzania. A real experienced guide, very friendly, nice talking to, and totally in no hurry. Chris (and his cousin a real good cook) gave us an unforgettable insight in Tanzanian (wild)life.

Excellent organisation and service
From the outset communication was very good. Because of flooding in Kruger our accomodation had to be changed. Our alternative accommodation was excellent and the change done seamlessly. In addition we received a refund as the alternative accommodation was cheaper. The majority of our accommodation was comfortable and adequate for our needs. Information on restaurants and places to visit were comprehensive. All in all a very professional outfit and one which my wife and I would have no hesitation in using again

Perfect. Oscar makes sure your trip is the best trip you could ever imagine!
Zambezi Expedition was the highlight of my trip and it does not come close. I was a student and wanted to find a budget option to be able to travel to Chobe and going on a few drives. I found Zambezi Expedition and found they had exactly what I was looking for and more. I scheduled a 3 day, 2 night safari in Chobe and it couldn’t have gone better.
The team picked me up from my accommodation in Vic Falls, and drove me across the border (with ease thanks to their staff) to begin our first game drive. The first drive I was able to see around 7 lions, 2 giraffes, and plenty of other animals that Chobe has to offer.
I was then dropped off at my Chobe Accomodation and relaxed before a beautiful sunset boat cruise down the Chobe river where I saw tons of hippos, buffaloes, and elephants up close and personal. This all happened on the same day, and shows that if you are looking to see animals in Chobe and are on a budget, the Chobe day trip is perfect for you.
I then was woken up in the early morning on the following day for an early in the morning game drive. I saw around 120+ baboons, 3 more lions, and a giraffe so close I could’ve touched it!
Later that day I had the opportunity to go on one more drive, where we stopped at a watering hole towards the end, and saw 18 elephants all bathing and drinking the water. It rained on this trip, but little did I know the team supplied rain coats and I stayed completely dry while enjoying the animals.
This trip was a 10/10 and I will for sure be coming back and using Zambezi Expedition. Oscar has been the nicest man to work with, and will tend to any and all of your needs with a simply WhatsApp text. He is quick to respond and has even driven me the following day after my tour to the airport, free of charge (typically costs $30 USD for transport). When signing up, I recommend emailing Oscar directly and he will be able to set up the perfect trip based on your groups needs. I was a solo traveler but groups are also welcome, long and short trips, budget and expensive as well. He did a phenomenal job of making me feel at home and welcomed into the beautiful park of Chobe and nation of Botswana.

Highly recommended!
Last month we booked a tour to Kenya with Hyrax safaris. We covered Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Masaai Mara. Our experience with Hyrax was amazing. Their team of experienced professionals is passionate about creating memorable experiences for their clients, and their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. During our tour, Roselyne, the owner of Hyrax Safaris, was incredibly helpful in planning our trip and took care of all the minute details, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience. Even while our tour was ongoing, Roselyne was very fast in responding to any communication, demonstrating her dedication to ensuring our trip was smooth and enjoyable.
Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of our tour was our guide, Dan. He is a true professional who goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients have a safe and enjoyable trip. His impressive knowledge of the area, wildlife, and culture was evident as he shared his insights and answered our questions with enthusiasm. Dan's speed and efficiency in navigating through the terrain allowed us to make the most of our time and experience the stunning landscapes and wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to spot a Black rhino within three minutes of entering the reserve.
We were also impressed with Denis, our guide on the last day, who was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He gave us a detailed city tour, covering all the important places in the city of Nairobi.
Overall, we highly recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone looking for a well-planned and guided tour in Kenya and Masaai Mara. Roselyne's amazing planning and coordination skills, combined with Dan's outstanding guidance, make for an exceptional experience. If you are planning a trip to Kenya, we would highly recommend asking Roselyne if she can get Dan for you as your guide as he truly made our trip unforgettable.
