great tour with a experienced und motivated guide
We booked the safari tour at short notice and did not regret it. The communication worked fine, they informed us well about the tour. The guide responded well to our requests. That's why we saw many animals and varied landscape. He had a great knowledge about the animals and explained and showed us a lot. You could tell that he liked the tour himself. The food was varied and adequate. We can recommend the tour in any case.

Wonderful Safari to Mikumi Park
We did a 3 day safari to Mikumi Park with Selous Explorer starting from Dar es salaam. The safari was really great!
The booking was very easy and Asna was very quick in answering all our questions. We had to pay around 20% in advance with credit card, the other 80% we paid in cash (Euro) at the first day of the safari.
Our driver Endrick was the best! We felt very safe in his car and his English was very good. Since he had a training as a national park guide in Selous and much experience as guide in Selous, Ruaha and Mikumi, he knew how to find every animal. We saw a lot of zebras, giraffes and elephants and took many nice photos. We even saw a group of lions with their babies. He was also very flexible and adjusted his program to all our wishes. Asante sana Endrick!
During the safari we stayed in Camp Bastian, which is a good option if you want to experience the athmosphere of a luxurious tented camp outside of Mikumi park. We had a very big room and the food was very good. It is also quite close to the park entrance (30 min drive).
All in all we enjoyed the safari very much and warmly recommend it to everyone!

Wonderful unforgettable twenty one days in Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda arranged for us by Bateleur Eagl
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari. Should we go on another safari in East Africa we will most definitely use Bateleur Eagle Safaris again. Newton planned the safari with us from the start. He communicated with us all the detail. The safari covered Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. When we arrived in Kenya he was at the airport to welcome us personally. Our guides Jeff (in Kenya) and Bashir (in Tanzania) and Thomas (in Rwanda) assisted us and tried to ensure that all our expectations were met. They were flexible and so helpful. The accommodation, safari vehicles were up to standard. We were well looked after. Thank you Bateleur Eagle Safaris for the unforgettable memories. We recommend them to anyone wishing to tour East Africa. Cheers.

Fantastic experience and excellent guide.
Our family of 2 adults and 3 children visited Murchison Falls with Buffalo Safari Camps in July. We had a fantastic time. Our guide Emma was extremely knowledgable and friendly and we all really enjoyed his company for the 3 days. We stayed at Murchison Treehouse where the food and accommodation were great. The morning safari drive was the highlight of the trip and we also loved the boat trip and hike up the falls. We booked the trip at short notice with the help of Dan who was quick to respond to our queries. I will definitely recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to friends or family visiting Uganda.

Never seen so much and divers wildlife as on this safari in Southern Africa!!!
Together with couple of friends we booked a 20day tented safari from 18.07 - 06.08.2019 with Rodgers and his great crew. We already visited Namibia, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Tanzania but this was our first time in Botswana and first time in tents.
Although comfort and luxe is less than in lodges the contact with nature and wildlife is much more intens. Your experience of living in the bush with animals was great!!! Rodgers and his wonderfull helping crew do everything to make your journey as comfortable as possible. Meals are great and divers!
As this is much cheaper than lodges this gave us also the possibility to visit 6 different locations: Makgadikgadi Pans, Central Kalahari, Okavango, Moremi, Savuti and Chobe (Kasane region). All of them with different landscapes, wildlife and climat! We saw cheetah with welps, leopard (7 or 8 times), large groups of lions (also 5,6 times) great groups of elephants, zebras, antilopes ( at least 10 different species). On request Ridgers and I put a special attention to birds; I had more than 120 different species on photos, 40 never seen before!
Rodgers is a very friendly, experienced guide. Trust on him, he knows perfectly the behaviour of animals and put you always on the best position to take great pictures.
This is not the easiest safari holiday and if you like lodges for luxury, social drinks and strictly organezid journeys don't do it! On the contrary if you want to feel free and in contact with nature than this is a unique experience. The locations in the parcs and reserves give you this great opportunity to see fantastic wildlife on nearly individual base. Here you are looking to a cheetah and welps completely alone, to leopards climbing in trees with 2 other vehicels. In touristic places you are making the cue with 12-15 jeeps...
Thank you Rodgers and crew, this was unique!!!

3 Amazing days in Nyungwe National Park
I booked my trip with New Horizon Tours. I wanted to see the chimps and hiking in Nyungwe National Park. Team New Horizons assisted promptly to my queries and suggested some nice trails to hike in Nyungwe. We finalized itinerary and got a link for making payments for booking.
During my trip day (August 22nd,2019) , i met my driver Emmanuel at my Hotel in Kimironko and we started what turned up to be the most memorable trip of my lifetime. We started with visiting several museums including the King palace and Ethnographic as well as the history of the rocks and other historic attractions in the south. Reaching Nyungwe Forest was amazing as we started viewing birds, monkeys, spotted a shy Antiloppe and indeed the natural forest.
In Nyungwe, activities started with early morning chimps trek ( wake up at 4:00), did Colobus monkeys trek, Waterfalls hike as well as Canopy Walk. Also had a fantastic tea factory tour and tasting which is indeed fantastic.
My trip continued with more exploration of Western Rwanda with visiting the boarder with Bukavu in Congo,Lake Kivu experience and boat trip in Kibuye as well as singing with locals at the Ndaba's rock. Tasted local meals and dishes and met many locals and international friends. Thank you very much Emmanuel and team for showing me a lot about Rwanda and organizing such nice trips.
