Value for money experience.
We had booked 7 days and 6 Night Masai Mara - Naivasha - Nakuru - Amboseli Safari. It was a standard package offered by Safari operators in Kenya in budget category. Communication with Benson was smooth, camps were basic and you get what you paid for. In our case, plan was changed a little bit, we were first taken to Naivasha and then to Masai Mara to suit economics of operator (since there were not enough people on first day for Masai Mara), this is something shouldn't have happened as we wanted to spend 31st evening watching sunset in lake Naivasha.
Camp/Stays Ratings:
Naivasha - 3/5 (Food was average for vegetarians)
Nakuru - 3.5/5 (Basic City Hotel with good food but no good wifi)
Masai Mara - 3.5/5 (Basic Facilities, good food)
Amboseli - 4/5 (Excellent and Spacious Camp).
We were 6 to 7 People in Mini Van ( Should have been strictly 6) and people would join and leave as per their itinerary. We were with guide Clinton and he did a good job.
I would recommend this agency, as our experience was good.

Moroko Expeditions is fantastic operator
I loved the 3 day Mountain Gorilla trip run by Moroko Expeditions.
Abraham was a kind, knowledgeable & flexible guide. The long drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park went quickly listening to stories & information shared by Abraham of Ugandas history, politics & culture.
The accomodation at Bakiga Lodge was in a stunning location & had wonderful staff.
I recommend this trip wholeheartedly.

Five-Star Experience Diminished by Interpersonal Deficiencies
We traveled to Dominica with Indigo Safaris in December 2024 to swim with sperm whales, accompanied by Christopher Bartlett, Managing Director of Indigo Safaris. We chose Indigo Safaris over other tour companies based primarily on the lower cost of the trip ($5400 where others ranged from $6500 to $9000 per person), the larger number of days in the water with the whales (six versus five for most of the others), and the smaller group size (six guests, only three in the water at once according to the permit). We also liked the location of the trip, removed from the capital city in a more quiet setting. An added advantage of Indigo Safaris’ offering is the choice of lodging to accommodate a variety of budgets. We chose Jungle Bay, the high-end option and were pleased with the choice. It is a gorgeous hotel, surrounded as the name suggests, by a lush tropical setting – many of the fruits and vegetables offered in the dining room are grown on the property.
Our experience in the water was spectacular. We swam with the whales six out of the six days, and were lucky to have a variety of experiences. Our local guide and the holder of the permit, Izzy Madisetti, is a postgraduate marine biologist who was a former fisheries officer in Dominica and one of only three people officially authorized by the government to guide the sperm whale experiences. Our captain Duggy and his crew maneuvered the boat with expert skill and safety. All of these aspects of the trip deserved a five-star rating in our opinion.
Our interpersonal experience with Indigo Safaris (three stars) contrasted markedly with that of the Dominicans and the whales. Christopher’s participation in the trip is more appropriately characterized as that of a booking agent than any kind of host or guide. He was responsive to inquiries in advance of the trip, though his communication style is curt and short on detail. Some of the trip inclusions (such as an Indigo Safaris agent to meet us at the airport on arrival and photography coaching) were not provided. These omissions would not have warranted a mention had we felt that Christopher actually took an interest in the quality of our experience and that of the other guests. On other guided trips we have taken trip leaders took certain measures to engender a sense of community, such as a welcome dinner, group introduction and overview and engagement with the guests throughout. Christopher mostly kept to himself and told us that he was too busy with work to participate other than the time on the water with the whales. While on the boat he disparaged other tour operators and former clients and issued profanity-laced tirades on his cell phone. He told us that he prefers his own company to that of anyone else and that the main reason he leads the whale trips is that he enjoys them for himself. Unfortunately all of this detracted from the overall experience, which was otherwise fantastic.

Very efficient and transparent. Your perfect holiday partner.
I was fully taken care of and did not feel neglected at any point. Communications with the hotel was prompt, we had a very good stay courtesy of this company.

Reliable agency for the Gorilla experience in Uganda
Overall a good experience.
Michelle is absolutely fantastic, she organized a memorable trip for us, always very quick replying to us, great service.
Our tour guide was Godfrey, he did the basic things.
I recommend Eco Adventure Safaris as a reliable agency for your trip to Uganda for the Gorilla experience.

My feedback
I travelled with my mom for this new year and this is the first ever African Continent National we ever visited. The entire trip was good the driver Francis was experienced and told us the wildlife and Kenyan local customs. The many of hotels were decent and comfortable. However the Sopa lodge and hotel at aberdare national park were not ideal for us. As the former the table is too small and no Wifi. The latter is too far to National Park. But, from the entire trip we loved the national parks and wild life. It had the good memory there. Thank you for your service!!!!

Very hospitable and indulgent
The team was readily available for all preparations. I loved how you delved right into the trenches and horned our requests.
Going the extra mile to constantly follow up on whether all was well before, during and even after the adventure.
Great to negotiate with and very understanding.
Delivered the experience to my expectation.
Indeed, I was greatful for my time with you.
