Friendly, knowledgeable and communicative.
We got picked up at 5:30 at our hotel and had the luxury of being alone in the car. The drive to the Moremi gate was smooth (as far as you can say that on gravel roads) and we saw lots of animals (elefants, hyena, buffalo, lions,…) during the day. We had plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the animals before we continued our drive.
Lunch was good and overall we really enjoyed our trip.
Make sure you have enough cash though as we were not able to pay by card.

Splendid experience, well organized safe driver/guide. Hamsi explained wildlife passionately
We made a safari for our silver wedding. We were picked up at Arusha airport for a private tour. Hamsi was waiting for us and we drove to tarangire park. Seeing wildlife was unique.
Afterwards we drove to our Lodge. Very nice. Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti gave us the feeling to be part of Lion King. We saw every single animal. Big Five of course included. Climate was perfect. We slept two nights in a tent . Had a kind of out of Africa feeling there. We enjoyed it so much and would do it again
It is worth its money(not cheap) for nature lovers. We appreciated every second Thanks so much

Wonderful bespoke service
Myself, my wife and our 4 y/o son decided to organise a last-minute holiday in Rwanda.
As it was the first Africa and safari experience for my wife and son, it was important to me to find a place that is friendly, welcoming and not too large as to avoid lengthy drives with a youngster - Rwanda fitted that bill and Nziza was the right agency to help make it a great experience for all.
They organised a hassle-free pickup from the airport and from day 1 we had our very attentive personal driver, Walter, to look after us. He was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. It was great to have the same person do the trip with us including the two days of game drive in Akagera Park. We had a fantastic time and will surely be back !

Super amazing experience
Recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari trip to Kenya, expertly prepared by Jadi Safaris. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely unforgettable.
First and foremost, the level of organization and attention to detail displayed by Jadi Safaris was truly impressive. Everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived at the airport, from our transportation to the hotel to the seamless check-in process. Our knowledgeable guide, who was fluent in English and Swahili, made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire trip and answered any questions we had about the local culture and wildlife.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the game drives. We visited several national parks, including Masai Mara and Amboseli, and were able to see an incredible array of wildlife up close. From majestic elephants to agile cheetahs and the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration, each day brought new sights and experiences. Our guide's expertise and sharp eye allowed us to spot animals we would have otherwise missed.
The accommodations chosen by Jadi Safaris were top-notch. We stayed in a range of lodges and camps, each with its own unique character and charm. Whether we were sleeping under the stars in a luxurious tent or enjoying a sundowner by the fire at a lodge, we were always comfortable and well-fed.
Overall, I cannot recommend Jadi Safaris enough. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to creating an unforgettable experience truly set them apart. I have already recommended them to friends and family and can't wait to book another safari with them in the future.

Great safari with a lot of interesting information about animals and the Tanzanian culture.
Communications before departure of the safari went great through whatsapp, they responded really quick and with clear answers to my questions. Also the iternity was very clear and nice. We felt very comfortable during the safari. The guide and driver were great company. The car was amazing. We were with the 2 of us so we had all the space, that was very relaxing. The drive to Mikumi was long (6 hours) but nice. Enought to see during the drive. And when you nearly reach Mikumi NP gate, you can already see some animals like baboons.
Overall, we had a great safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris and I would defenitely recommend.

Excellent service, wonderful trip
I contacted Malagasya Travel along with a few other operators in November to arrange a three week tour for the following March. Riantsoa from Malagasya Travel quickly arranged a detailed itinerary covering everything I was looking for, patiently answered all my questions and provided useful hints and tips to make the most of my visit. Malagasya Travel were definitely the most responsive of the operators I contacted, their overall price was clearly broken down and there were no hidden extras. Once we'd agreed the itinerary they needed a 20% deposit with the balance on arrival, and the only glitches in the booking process were at my end. I had no idea that Mastercard wasn't widely accepted in Madagascar so had to get myself a Visa card, and it was more difficult than I'd expected to find an operator who could wire the deposit, in euros from the UK, to their local bank.
On arrival my driver, Romy, met me at the hectic airport as arranged, and dealt with all the driving and administration on the tour. We spent the first day on a trip westwards to Ankafobe to a small forest where I saw my first lemurs, and the next few days travelling eastwards, staying at the Palmarium Hotel on the east coast for three nights, to see a lot of lemurs close up and a great nighttime trip to see some aye-ayes. And then we headed south, covering a lot of ground and different types of scenery, ending up at a beach resort in Ifaty.
The roads are pretty bad in Madagascar, with more potholes than I've ever seen, but Romy's driving was confident and unfazed by the sometimes very challenging conditions. We had a lot of ground to cover, but almost every day there was at least one stop at something interesting to see, ranging from national parks (with guides arranged), to Madagascar's most important aluminium foundry (which has to be seen to be believed!), to wonderful little craft workshops. The hotels were all good quality, in come cases luxurious, and often close to tourist attractions with excursions laid on.
Everything originally promised was delivered and overall I was very impressed. My only regret was that three weeks wasn't enough time to see all the island - it really is huge, but I had no time to see the north. Next time - and I will go again with Malagasya Travel.

Courteous, true to description as everything was as promised
Arthur was thorough throughout the 3 days. Each day was packed with activities and fun filled trips, including many options to other activities. He attended to two people as much as he would to a head of elephants! Thank you Arthur for the memorable time. We enjoyed every part of our time with you.

Friendly chap with good knowledge of German language
Hassan took us for a day trip to the Arusha National Park.
He was in time picking us directly from the lodge, his German is excellent, he is very friendly and showed us all the interesting things of the park.
He also managed a game walk of an hour walking through the landscape meeting buffaloes very close. We also visited the farm of Hatari.
Hassans wife had cooked a delicious picknick for us with pilaw and chicken.
The price of the tour was okay and we enjoyed the trip very much.
We can recommend him in every case and will travel with him at our next stay in Tanzania.

Knowlegable,Very Professional,Time Keeper,Convinient & Very Affordable
We chose Awuor Escapades for safari, because they offered most suitable custom safari for me, my husband and our 4 year old son, moreover, their prices were 30% lower for the same itinerary compared to the other big tour operators.
We were really happy about our guide and driver John. We thought he was a newbie (looking very young ;) ), but we found out that he was an experienced guide working in the business for 7 years!
John is a really good driver (we felt very safe) and he is an adventure seeker, due to his effort and persistence, we managed to encounter a male lion in one meter distance protecting his resting lioness. What a memory!! And I am not talking about his effort during all the trip to meet all big 5!
He was also very patient with our toddler, who used to get bored during long trips.
Thanks for great experience!
Much recommended!
