Impeccable and very responsive.
The game drive organized by Safari Avventura was just outstanding. From the pick up, to the lodge, food everything was perfect.
Special mention to our French-speaking guide James who made us discover the wonders of Tanzania. Her good humor every day made us have a dream trip for our honeymoon.
A thousand thanks to safari Avventura for the special attention regarding our honeymoon as well as to James for all his generosity.
Kisses and goodbye.

Absolutely AWESOME!!!!
This tour delivered an experience like no other. I wanted the real deal and they sooo delivered!!! Mpairo, Solomon, Jimmy and Moses went out of their way to make me feel comfortable as I was a solo female traveler. I always felt safe and at ease and never lonely. Jimmy was fantastic at getting the Landcruiser close to the animals for the best pictures. He was also very knowledgeable. Solomon, a true Maasai warrior, was kind, caring, protective, and the sweetest man you could ever meet. It was wonderful learning about his culture, people, way of life and his experiences. I spent 2 days/nights living and sleeping in his village and felt welcome and cared for by all. The Maasai people are wonderful!! This was the trip of a lifetime that Namayiana Safaris provided to me! They customized it to exactly what I was looking for and it far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them to everyone and will definitely be going on safari again with them!! An AMAZING tour company with INCREDIBLE people!!!!! A special thanks to Jimmy and Solomon

Reputable Tour Company, stress free in Planning
We had an amazing time in Rwanda, one of the most beautiful countries we have ever been to, Kigali is very clean and green . We did our 8 days trip with Abu as our guide. Everything was well planned out and executed, e-mails with Yvonne was very easy and everything was being taken care of from start to the end. We visited Akagera for safaris, Volcanoes home of the Gorillas and Nyungwe, Culture sites, lake Kivu our guide Abu gave us the Rwandan History and its people and responded all our questions every single day. I cant say enough about how great the trip was, Highly Highly recommend this tour company.

Stunning destination, that I will have to visit again
Definitely recommend safari online as they made our entire vacation stress free and operated very smoothly. South Africa has so many different natural wonders wrapped up in one country. The Kruger portion of our trip was amazing.

Kenya is an amazing country with beautiful, loving people especially the Maasai people.
Stayed for 2 days in a Maasai village. Will never forget the Maasai people or that experience. I was a woman traveling alone and felt completely comfortable. My Maasai Warrior guide, Solomon, stayed by my side and I felt totally comfortable. Parks were beautiful especially Maasai Mara National Park that had the most diversity of animals and the most gorgeous landscape. I opted to do the drive from Nairobi out to the Mara rather than the plane ride. Was able to see the local people by the side of the road and get the true flavor of the culture and living conditions. Weather was mostly gorgeous. Lake Naivasha was pretty. I definitely want to go back again and spend more time with the Maasai people in their village. Tour operator Namayiana Safaris was fabulous!! Very attentive! TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Kenya has a very friendly and ambitious service industry struggling to overcome societal blight
Wildlife viewing is fabulous, whether in the famed Maasai Mari preserve or in less well-known places like Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, or Amboseli. Neither the roads leading to the major national parks nor the parks themselves have smooth roads or driving paths, which sort of adds to the adventure. We enjoyed many a "free" full-body African massage while on the road, and the question of what would happen if the vehicle somehow broke down--in the wildlife areas-- was indeed answered: friendly tour operators from other orgs pitch in and take in whatever passengers they have room for. While our expectations for the accommodations at the budget tent camps were low to begin with, we were actually pleasantly surprised by what was offered. Yes, it was simple, but we slept well, the camps were quiet at night, and the food was ample. The night sky, away from light pollution, was spectacular. Two things were a bit disturbing: 1) the amount of litter strewn everywhere (except in the national parks themselves)--what would it take to institute a national clean-up campaign? and 2) the constant bombardment to purchase this or that trinket by folks peddling their wares. I guess that's the natural response from a people who have learned that tourism is one of the most profitable ventures going (one of our safari drivers was a mechanical engineer who saw that the income from tourism far outstripped the income from practicing his profession).

Highly experienced operator that focuses on what the customer wants to see and do.
If I could give this company more then 5 stars I would, Darren and Kate are awesome. The communication from start to finish was impeccable, he checked in with us through out the trip and if something needed to be changed he informed us before hand. Our guide in cape town was Garth and he was amazing, so informational and loved hearing all about the history. Garth was very knowledgeable and helped us plan out four days there, he even hiked with us up Lions head which was so awesome. Our guides in Victoria falls were great, Motimer and his wife are so nice and helped us plan out our couple days there. Our safari lodges were amazing, Senalala was definitely our favorite we loved eating with our guides and it felt like we were a big family. The place was absolutely beautiful and being able to watch the animals at the waterhole between our drives was great. The guides Geena and Johan were awesome and worked hard trying to find us the predators and soon to be guide Taya were great. Our lodge in Botswana was amazing all the staff there were so nice and accommodating. It was right on the river and there was a hippo and her baby that came around dinner as well as a monkey and a warthog that frequent during the day. The food was outstanding and so was our guide. Our guide Teo was amazing, he does photography which was great because he a always tried to get us the best picture and always got us as close as he could to the animals. We already have Africa blues and want to go back again. We already asked Darren about coming back for the mountain Gorillas and he already sent the info! we are also planning on make another stop at Senalala again soon. You will not find a better company to work with, there's nothing worst then paying money for a not so good vacation. There was not one person we encountered or place that we didn't like. Thank you Darren and Kate for an awesome vacation and we will be back to Africa in 2024 for those mountain gorillas.

Very disappointing - we had to cancel due to medical urgencynand received NO help at all !
We booked on short notice but had to cancel due to medical emergency.the day after we transfered the money. So they had not had make any cost yet. They hid behind their general conditions to do nothing. Flights were booked by their organisation so they had to negotiate and rebook with airline - no initiative; no compensation. Disappointing and very costly’
