Unforgettable experience
John was an awesome guide, very kind, attentive and with excellent knowledge about the wildlife. This wasn’t my first trip to Kenya but I still got to know more about animals and parks. As a woman travelling alone, I felt completely safe and well taken care of from the beginning to the end. I would definitely recommend Osprey Safaris to anyone visiting the country!

Wonderful trip with SimienEco Tours
We have just returned from 18 days in Ethiopia where we had an unforgettable stay thanks to the agency SimienEco Tours.
Marco Degasper had prepared an itinerary for us that combined cultural visits to the orthodox churches of Lake Tana and Lalibella with a very varied nature. The grandiose landscapes in the Bale Mountains, the beauty of the lakes and the Wenchi crater, the lush vegetation and the coffee culture with the visit of villages in Yergalem were the highlights of our exploration south of Addis Ababa.
Marco, very responsive and professional, immediately understood our wishes and directed us towards a trip adapted to our family with 3 teenagers including our intellectually disabled daughter.
This trip would not have been as perfect without our wonderful guide Milan. Marco had the concern to find us a young woman, passionate about her country and anxious to transmit to us as much as possible the history, the traditions, and all the richness of Ethiopia. Her kindness, her sensitivity, her special attention to each of us and especially to our daughter made our stay unforgettable.
We still have so much to discover in this country with its incredible resources. We will come back very soon and will not fail to ask Marco for the organisation and our precious Milan to guide us.

Lucky
I was lucky enough to have a work trip to Arusha in Tanzania in mid December and followed this with a three day safari to Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. All of this was arranged by Moses Anderson of Njofu Expedition. The details were discussed by email and in advance of my visit and all the necessary bookings for accommodation and permits were made by my host. Definitely a dead good smooth process with a quick reply to any questions I had. Anderson, as I gather he likes to be called, was also also involved with my work trip so he met me at Kilimanjaro Airport at the start of the trip. This also gave us plenty of time to discuss the safari side of things and what I would like to see and visit.
Giraffe were top of the list for me and this showed off Anderson's skills and knowledge to perfection. By the lunch on day 2 (Lake Manyara) these wonderful beings had proved elusive. Radio calls and chats with other guides revealed no one had seen any Giraffe that day. Anderson knew that no one had been to a particular area of the NP as a bridge over a river had been washed away. So, putting his off road skills to the test off we went there that afternoon. About 10 minutes later, rounding a corner there was a head peeking over the acacia trees about 50 metres distant. Yippee. Giraffe. Slowly, a few more emerged by the lakeside and then, just around the corner a large male having a nibble and almost posing for the camera. One of the best life experiences for me.
I also saw lots of other life there including lion, zebra, wildebeest, cape buffalo, elephants galore, monkeys and baboons, ostrich, jackal, hyena, rhino, lots of birds from a small weaver bird though to kites and vultures and a tortoise. Hippo out of the water was another highlight.
Anderson's knowledge of the habit of all we saw is impressive and he helps you to understand the animal behaviours you observe. Much more than just a visual experience. His spotting skills are impressive too, a good example being when looking past me out the side window he said 'rabbit'. I couldn't see a thing so well hidden was it. Of course he's good with spotting the bigger things you'll go to see as well.
We also had plenty of good conversations about life in Tanzania in general and also the UK and learnt a lot from each other. A big shout also goes to the Country Lodge in Keratu where I stayed for a couple of nights.
I had a wonderful time on safari thanks to Anderson and Njofu Expedition and am already planning my next trip there. Three or four days in the Serengeti to hopefully catch up with those elusive leopards. I'm sure Anderson will find them.

Awesome experience on my 5 Day Tour With MoAfrika
My first week was with your company and I found MoAfrika and Viva Safaris very professional and well run company. All of the various drivers (transport, game guiding) were excellent. I rode up front most of the time to be able to personally chat with these local people, as I wanted to first learn about their lives growing up in South Africa. Many great stories and insight which I truly appreciate them sharing.
This was my fifth time to Africa, and 15th Tour on 4 Continents, so I have experienced many various levels of service and support from the different Companies.
Yours was one of my favourite. The highlight was my stay at the Treetop place (#5) as I especially enjoyed the laidback feeling of this resort and the staff were truly wonderful. I look forward to, and counting the days, when I can manage to get back to Africa!

Amazing tour
TLDR: I highly recommend Hermosa life tours. We booked the 1-day gorilla trekking program.
Oreste and Hermosa admins were very responsive in terms of communication. Also they also sent us plenty trip reminders.
The tour guide Patrick did a fantastic job. Our trip starts in the early morning at 4:30am (since we stay in Kigali and we need to arrive at Volcanoes national park at 7:30am).
The trekking requires about an hour of hiking on muddy ground. And we get to watch the gorillas close for an hour. It was all worth it.
The only downside is that the vehicle seems to need some maintenance, but our guide Patrick was resourceful enough to fix the issue.
The program finishes by noon, but it is still a long drive back to Kigali. We are very appreciative of Oreste and Patrick from Hermosa for taking us to a wonderful trip of gorilla trekking. Highly recommended experience.

Amazing 1-day trip to Agakera and Lake Ihema
TLDR; Our 1-day trip to Agakera was amazing and zero regret. Highly recommended.
The trip was well planned. Our tour guide is Gerald who is an awesome guide and takes great photos. We have everything in 1-day so a lot of driving (from and back to Kigali). We started at 6:30am, and did around 2 hours game drive. We were able to see a lot of animals, including giraffes, baboons, zebras, buffalos, and the rarely seen leopard. After lunch we did an hour boat ride and saw hippos, crocodiles and many birds. It was so many things packed in one day. We are very satisfied with everything. The only downside is that it seems that I wasn't told to take the covid test (required to enter the park) but it gets sorted out eventually.
We return to our hotels safely in the evening. We highly recommend the service provided by Fred and Gerald from Frena Adventures.

They understood the assignment at hand and were executes it with perfection
Excellent. Our booking was easy, the pre-information packet was timely and thorough. Interim questions were handled promptly and thoroughly, including going out of their way to help us with some hard to get reservations. The transfers were perfect and done with a high class .we definitely will choose them again.
