Perfect!!
Fast and effective communication. I dealt with Jolie via email correspondence, I had a reply within 8-12hrs. She was brilliant and extremely helpful. On tour we had Augustine, who was great, knowledgable and very passionate of his country. Well done to you both. You represent your company very well. When my travels bring me back to Uganda, you’ll be hearing from me;)

Great experience for a mid-range safari! Affordable prices and awesome guide
We are 3 canadian travellers. We did a 5 day safari trip with this company. Seka, owner, was responsive to our emails. And gabe, our guide, made all the experience better! We stayed at a mid-range camp for 2 nights in serengeti (tent with beds, shower , bathroom) and the remaining two nights, we stayed at a Bougainvillea (5 star villa) it was great! We paid about 1700 CAD per person

Amazing
I went on a day Safari while in Nairobi. Anthony was so kind. He is very passionate about making his customers feel the value for their money. He wants to make sure you see every animal in the park and he supplies adequate explanation about the park and the animals. He’s just amazing. I will do this again with him whenever I return to Nairobi.

A unique and beautiful experience
We stayed in the Hekima House and booked the Safari directly when we arrived. The stuff was very kind and helped us in every belongings. The safari itself was a unique experience, we saw a lot of animals and visited the Hadzabe. I would defenently book a tour with Hekima again!

Highly recommended! Beautiful safari with reliable and well prepared guide!
We booked a private jeep safari for 4 nights. The vehicle was perfect and the driver/guide David was fantastic: great driver, full of information and anecdotes, he speaks excellent English.
We recommend choosing the jeep that allowed us to cross even the paths where the vans had to stop.
We loved the tour between Tsavo East & West and Amboseli, they are very different parks and the variety of landscapes is fantastic.
Some uncertainties, however, during the negotiation: the tour has changed compared to what was initially proposed because the camps were not available as budgeted and we had to renegotiate both the tour and camps and we had to return to Mombasa by train instead of jeep. A few days after our arrival they had to change again one of the accommodations.
Very convenient to pay both the deposit and the balance with PayPal.
Overall they are super recommended and reliable but we suggest to start booking your safari in advance (at least 3 months) especially in high season to make sure you have the best choice of accommodations.

The Vacation Of A Life Time!!!!
When we family of 5 ( 3 adults and 2 kids) were planning the Kenya jungle safari, a friend of mine recommended Samuel , who had been their tour guide. Everything was perfect about the safari which included the accommodation , the hospitalities of the hotels and I would have to say it was The Vacation of a life time !!!!
It would not be possible to say enough about Samuel [our guide's] qualities in terms of knowledge of Kenya and ability to find animals and birds during the safari in Masai Mara. He was also entertaining, fun, engaging with my kids and extremely accommodating.
Five star plus for Samuel as an extremely competent driver, one of the best I've experienced. Everything used to be on time as indicated by him.In addition, he has wide experience and knowledge in other areas, a constant source of conversation, information and pleasure. . He has great attention to detail to make sure that he could provide anything we might need.
If anyone’s planning Kenya, I would highly recommend Samuel and the tour we took and would love to take another in the future - Thank you so very much Samuel for having arranged the magnificent trip we took!!

Botswana Safari trip
We have just returned from a great 5 night, 6 day camping safari with Walking Stick Safaris. First 2 days poled on a mokoro to an island in the delta with guided walks then 3 nights in the Khwai area. Luxury it is not but, especially in Khwai, good large tents with own bucket shower and toilet at the back and canopy over the front with proper comfortable camp beds. Fabulous game drives with Phillimon who is extremely knowledgeable, we saw masses. Joe, the chef, was a star, lovely meals plus cake and homemade bread on a camp fire, all washed down with a few glasses of wine while listening to lions roar (in the distance) and hippos grunting in the dark. We would thoroughly recommend Phillimon and his team. They are born and bred in the area so know it very well and it was great to support their small local company helping the local economy while having to compete with all the big travel companies. We wish them lots of success with their business.
