This is the best safari ever!!
This was a perfect safari in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Serengeti and Ngonrongo. Our guide, Moses, was the most knowledgeable, gentle, wonderful safari guide one can wish for. We saw all big five multiple times, at very close distance and enjoy the safari immensely. Thanks a million, Moses, for making possible such an unforgettable experience!!

Great experience with kids visiting Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
Masai Mara is glorious. The Eco Camp chosen by Pride of Kenya Safari is really nice as was the visit to Masai Village which is authentic in its own way. The Masai are very aware of the interest in their culture and so they have arranged a very nice visit. I was happy that our fees to visit the village will contribute in whatever way.
Lake Nakuru is not what is used to be in terms of the flamingos, which are now mostly gone. I don't think I would visit again. But Masai Mara is a truly wonderful place

Been with Masihambe Afrika before and would go again!
I like that Masihambe Africa provides a no frills authentic trip with a great, very experienced, knowledgeable bushman guide in Anthony. Lots of variety in accommodation from tents to simple lodge accommodation and great experiences of the culture, food, geography and wildlife. Give them a try... you’ll love it.

Magnificent Tanzania - excellent guide!
First I want to say something that is mentioned here in every review - safari is truly amazing experience and can definitely be one of the greatest trips of a lifetime - so before taking the trip I spent many hours looking for a tour company and was in touch with many tour operators to make sure that everything would go well.
Now back to Godson Adventures. Godson is the owner of the company and he is also the guide. When I started talking to Godson he was available almost 24/7 and answered all my questions almost immediately so the communication and planning was very smooth.
All other companies were offering pretty much the same set of lodging options for my budget so whenever I reached to a new company they were offering properties that I already was aware of. I made a short list of properties and chose the best for every location so when I approached Godson I asked him to pick those properties. Godson told that he could do it but then he also suggested few options, which I was not aware of. One of them, near Serengeti entrance, was brand new so looks like others did not know about it at all so we ended up in a resort style hotel with a nice pool vs B&B that was offered by others and the one I picked initially . Another property - Serengeti camp - also looked better than those offered by other companies, in fact it was also in other category i.e. more expensive.
Godson knows the parks very well and we saw many animals including the big five. He also has his own secret places so few times we were watching animals very close to us and there was no one else around. He also knew when we needed to be patient so on few occasions we saw some unique things like a lioness and several cubs crossed the road right in front of us. All other cars were gone by then but Godson suggested that we should stay as lioness was acting weird and he though she was looking for a cub (and he was right!).
Godson was telling some interesting and fun facts about animals and nature all the time but he was not talking non-stop. He was also happy to participate in every conversion we started so it was very friendly atmosphere during the whole trip.
Thanks again Godson for the truly amazing trip!

Amazing family safari and beach adventure in Tanzania!
We had an amazing 2 1/2 week trip to Tanzania! We spent a week on two different safari camps (The Highland and Namari Plains) and a week on Pemba Island at Manta Resort. We spent time at the beginning in Arusha and a day in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Rob helped sketch out the initial trip and put together an itinerary that spoke to what we wanted in terms of experiences and lodging. We had several phone conversations before and texted frequently during the trip. When one of my kids became sick before the Stone Town tour, Rob arranged from us to have a room for the day to rest, while the others went on the tour. He was enthusiastic about Tanzania and steered us toward properties that fit the experiences we wanted on safari and at the beach. The safari guide we had for the week was amazing! He was knowledgeable and a pleasure! A trip highlight, spending time at a local school in Pemba was made possible through Rob's contact at Manta. The trip was a once in a lifetime adventure, one that my family feels very lucky to have experienced! We would recommend Rob and Tailormade Africa without reservation and would use him again to plan a trip to africa!

Excellent service
We decided going to kenya just two weeks before starting our holidays. Despite the short time we had to prepare the tour, Spirit of Kenya made it possible with a quick, kind and effective service. We received their suggesions, made our owns and even some last minute changes were possible. Our stay was perfect and the whole trip was pleasant, easy and safe. We enjoyed 100% our holidays and wouldn' t hesitate choosing them again in the future.

Excellent Agency, Excellent Trip, Excellent UGANDA
We were 2 couples (27-45 years old Europeans) visiting Uganda for the first time. We had 10 days at our disposition which we wanted to spend out there in real Uganda, to see nature, people, real Africa. Prime Safaris came best out of the app. 10 agencies I spoke to. Best in the meaning of price vs. quality (and references), we chose the midrange package (services).
The communication with the agency was excellent, Cate is a perfect person to establish the objectives and all special wishes. The itinerary proposed by her has fulfilled all of our expectations.
At the airport, we were welcomed by our guide Robert together with the trainee Herman. During the whole trip, these 2 guys took excellent care of us and we felt very safe. Zero incidents recorded were thanks to them and also thanks to Uganda, whose people pleasantly surprised us a lot.
And when there was a need to "adjust" something in the itinerary (accommodation, queues, resto, special requests, etc), Robert was there to help you out and to make your wishes come true (or close to it). We were an excellent team!
We've done and seen all kinds of activities (Murchinsons Falls, Queen Elisabeth NP, chimps, mountain gorillas, Lake Bunyonyi, etc.).
In the last evening, upon our return to Entebbe, we met Cate and her husband (and Prime's CEO) Samuel. They are very nice persons and we exchanged lots of ideas about our trip and Eastern Africa generally, as we seriously think about coming back to this beautiful part of the world. And, of course, we would use Prime Safaris as our Nr. 1 choice of an agency.
Everything fantastic, we returned to Europe full of positive thoughts, great experiences and 2000+ photos.

Helped plan our most perfect trip to Cape Town, Kruger National Park, & Seychelles
Melanie at Pembury Tours was extremely helpful. She was not pushy, offered detailed responses to our questions, and ultimately set-up the most perfect trip. We didn't have to worry about a thing from transportation to relaxation. I highly recommend Melanie and Pembury Tours.

Everything as described
Everything was as described or better. We enjoyed our tour guides, each was knowledgeable and tried to fulfill our expectations. Our accommodations were as we expected and very clean. The staff at the lodge and the treehouse were great. The food was good and Collette, the hostess at the treehouse went out of her way to be accommodating and friendly.
