Perfect
Everything was perfect; the lodges were nice and friendly, meals were good and various, animals in the parks and the African landscapes were unforgettable.
But the best thing of our trip was .... our driver Cornelius!
He drove safely and He drove all the time looking for animals to make us see as much as possible, until the last minute of the last day when He drove us where a leopard was hidden among the branches of a tree. A very exciting spot!
Here is the photo of our beautiful team.

The safari was well planned & in working with Nancy Yogo the lines of communication were always open
We enjoyed working with East Point Safari Bookers and their staff. Nancy was a tremendous help in keeping us informed on the process and the itinerary. The safari exceeded our expectations...we enjoyed the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park and the other national parks we visited. We were amazed at the amount of wildlife we saw and the lodge accommodations were excellent.

Best holiday ever
Zambezi Safari and Travel Company were exceptional from start to finish. This is the second time that we have been to Africa with them. The whole holiday ran like clockwork and exceeded our expectations. We stayed at Chindu Island Camp on the Zambezi and Camp Hwange and Bushcamp in Hwange National Park. We ended our holiday back in Victoria Falls and stayed at Ilala Lodge. We were lucky enough to have the same brilliant guide for six days in Hwange and had exceptional sightings of wildlife including 40 different lions. We learnt so much about the country and the wildlife. Everywhere we went the service and staff were first class and we felt very spoilt. We were an adult family of 7 and loved every minute of the holiday. I would recommend using Zambezi Safari and Travel Company to organise your safari and we all cannot wait to go back.

Easy planning & communication and very experienced guide.
Very good and easy communication with the german agent as well as our guides in Uganda. The Shoebill Safari-Team is very knowledgable on all fronts, making the planning easy. They also have no problem in incorporating special requests or changing up plans to your desire. Our guide was very experienced and tried to make sure we had the best possible experience.
We would recommend Shoebill-Safaris any time.

Great budget company!
The experience of doing a safari in Kenya was incredible! I did a five nights safari: 2 in Masai Mara, 1 in Lake Nakuru, and 2 in Amboseli.
Rose is very nice and answered all our questions. I just think that the communication could be better, specially right before and on the first day of the trip. I was a bit lost.
Our guide/driver, James, is very experienced. He knows where to spot the animals. We saw the big 5 in one day!
Really loved the experience!

Best of Okavango ,Chobe National Park & Victoria Falls
This was our second trip to Africa after Namibia, the tents for accommodation were corresponding, traditional meals, the mokoro trail along the river was quite an experience to take home with, had time to see hippos in the Chobe and lots of elephants and the waterfalls in Vic Falls, enjoyed it like infants, we left the Vic Falls park so wet and didn't bother much .

Absolutely amazing experience!
I thought the whole trip was amazing. Expertly led by Andrew and ably assisted by Verena. Overwatched by the horse whisperer herself Talane. The girls in camp , Phoebe and Chritina were fabulous! Informative, inventive and brilliant at setting up food and camp etc. Colin and Nelson were also very helpful and cheerful .The trip was above expectation and just thoroughly enjoyable, if sitting on a horse for 8 hours can be so ! The scenery and route was like out of a movie. Would do it again!

Rose looks after every detail - dream adventure for us!
Rose and her team were beyond efficient. Any query during the planning process was answered immediately, we always felt in very capable hands, which was important because we were flying half way around the world for an adventure of a life time!
AND WE GOT IT!
We stayed in Nairobi the first night at:
Hotel 148:
It was so beautiful. When we arrived at 10:30pm, Ruth served us the most delicious roasted red pepper and tomato soup and an avocado-chick pea salad that was to die for! Just perfect, fire going in the room.
The grounds and the dining house were stunning and the breakfast delicious.
The next day our driver met us and took us to the smaller airport and we headed to:
Cottars 1920 Camp
Everything we could ever wish for! Elegant, Old Africa vibe, friendly, great food, looked after our every need. Amazing Masai guides, ours was Enoch, lovely man, these guides know the land and animals, and respect the land and animals, all while showing us incredible sights.
Our tent had such a beautiful view looking out over the savannah, nicely appointed and very private.
We saw a male lion roar and our chests vibrated with the indescribable sound! We saw everything we came for and felt such a connection with Masai Mara.
Hope we can go back one day, and if we do, Luxury Safari Company will be the first place we contact !

Awesome!
We booked safari tour with pride of Africa couple of months ago. Steven helped us create a type of safari we had in mind. We did 2 nights and 3 days @ Masai Mara Sopa Lodge. Steven was always communicating with us thru emails and whatsup to make sure the process was going well. When we arrived at Nairobi airport, we were warmly greeted by the team and had lunch at a nice cafe in Nairobi. Although the roads to the lodge were bad, they took all the appropriate care and precautions to get us there safely. We had a great driver, Jacktone, who took us out for game drive next day and surprisingly we were able to see more than 20 animals including the big five and atleast 6 species of birds during the 1st 6 hrs of our game drive!!! Impressive!! We only did one day of game drive and we returned back to Nairobi on our 3rd day of our trip. Great team of people at pride of Africa! I will consider coming back w kids in the future.
Btw, Mara sopa lodge was great!!
FYI: you may need to take with you a picnic blanket to eat lunch when u go out on a game drive.

Amazing Safari!
We had a great time at Murchison Falls. Our driver and guide, Zavier, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, fun to talk to, and accommodating. We had our 9 month old with us, and he had no problem adjusting schedules or timing to meet our personal needs. Booking the safari was also very easy. Simba never delayed in responding to our inquiries and they were easily able to tailor our activities to the desires of our group. It was an amazing outfit and I would definitely recommend them to others!
