Wonderful experience in Uganda
My 16 year old daughter and I had a remarkable vacation with Jewel Safaris. Not only everything was very well organized by Dona, but we felt that our guides Moses and Benjamin were also very flexible to meet our personal needs. They did their best to make this trip memorable. For two well-traveled people like us this definitely has become an unforgettable and adventurous journey that we will always remember. Both my daughter and I had been to Africa before and been on safaris but it was our first time in Uganda. We were pleasantly surprised by this wonderful country of happy people, crazy Kampala traffic, best mangos in the world and wholesome cuisine.
Dona was an excellent host meeting us in person and always checking if we were safe and satisfied with our travels. From his quick response to my first messages to drop off at the airport to fly home, his attention to detail and his consideration for his clients is exceptional.

Two-week Safari / Zanzibar vacation with Lion King was the best trip of our lives!
Every detail was exceptionally catered to! We were provided three amazing meals per day, each lodge / camp greatly exceeded our expectations, and the Safari itself was incredible. Our guide (Good Luck!) was the man, we felt extremely fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and experienced guide show us everything the Safari had to offer... some of the pictures we were able to capture are National Geographic worthy!

We're extremely grateful for the experience Lion King provided us and have/will continue to recommend them hands down to anyone considering a Tanzania adventure :)

I would definitely recommend Right Choice and Jacob personally
First of all , the most important thing I wanted to say is that it was unforgettable trip with the impressions for the year or even more.
Some details I wanted to share which were important and better to know in advance:
If you go to Kenia you should be ready to face some "local specifics". People are not always very fast, they don't always provide what you paid for, sometimes they just don't want to listen and understand what you need. This is what Jacob as our guide should deal with on all the way and he did his job very well. If I ever go to safari in Kenia again, I will go with Jacob.
What I didn't like was accommodation. Right choice don't give any advice, just provide you the list of campings and they all are awful and the cheapest you can find (not for you of course).
There was one unpleasant issue with the train ticket for our way back because of this "local specific" as well. There was a mistake in date and we spent few hours trying to change it, which was critical for the timing. So be careful and check details.
Our route was the following: Masai Mara, then Nakuru and Amboseli. I would recommend to spend more days in Masai Mara and don't waist time on the way to Amboseli, we've seen there elephants and cheetahs, but they were in Masai Mara as well. So we spent a lot of time on the way and didn't see anything new. Maybe I'd better go to Naivasha instead. And by the way Kimana Amboseli Camp was awful, don't do our mistake and don't go there - no water, no electricity, no clean sheets, no wi-fi, torn mosquito nets, wild mosquitoes biting you all night long.

Unforgettable safari!
I had an all around amazing experience with Bestday safaris. I did a 6day/5night safari. Organising the safari was easy as Mr Peter always responded to my emails in a timely fashion.
I travelled solo and was the only person on the safari. Joseph was my driver and I had such a great time with him. He was knowledgable, punctual and was phenomenal at spotting hidden animals in bushes/trees etc. We had some hilarious conversations on the drives to the game parks and importantly throughout the experience I always felt safe.
Accomodation was great, service was excellent, the places were very clean and the food was great.
We completed the big 5! :)
Day 1:
Tarangire national park: the park is beautiful and very green in the wet season. I saw countless numbers of elephants, a pride of lions, a leopard hiding in a bush and many other animals
Day 2-4:
Ngorongoro conservation area and Serengeti national park. Had the opportunity to see the masai villages from a far. Witnessed the beautiful landscape in the conservation area. The Serengeti is breath taking it actually looks like what you see in the nature documentaries. There were many wildebeest, zeebra, antelopes. There was a pride of lions on a huge boulder, a lion cub in a tree, 3 cheetahs and we saw another 5 leopards!!!!
Day 5:
Ngorongoro crater is such unique place. It is actually a an animal paradise. zeebras and wildebeest everywhere! Joseph also helped me spot the critically endangered eastern black rhino.
Day 6:
Lake manyara national park offered a variety of species of birds to see, lots of buffalo and countless numbers of baboons.
Thank you again Bestdays safari and especially you Joseph! I would recommend this company to all they helped me a complete a lifelong dream of seeing and photographing African wildlife.

Excellent Service and Organisation, Excellent Holiday That Exceeded Expectations
We had an incredible time, and the work and diligence of our consultant, Karina Atkinson, in providing a compelling and engaging itinerary that included suitable and comfortable accommodation despite our quite “limiting” requirements was key. (We were keen to find lodges that offered accommodation for three people staying together, or without incurring high single pax supplements, while also offering SA residents' rates.) We had several changes during the planning stage of our holiday -- dates, potential locations, and activities -- but Karina always provided timely feedback and counsel with what seemed like an almost instantaneously updated proposal. We were incredibly happy with the quality of communication, accommodation and activities provided, and we recommend Karina highly.
The consultants at most every company with which we dealt through our holiday planning stage were (bar one representative of a very high-profile company, that had been our first thought having traveled with them previously) kind, professional and diligent, and each provided great options that matched our requirements to varying degrees. We have little doubt that we would have been able to write a similar review about whomsoever had finalised our bookings, but we remain very comfortable in thinking that Karina was the best for us and that her itinerary was most suitable given our requirements and holiday desires.
The lodges and game activities each were brilliant -- each lodge perhaps a different "luxury rating" but each entirely comfortable and suitable; most importantly, they each exceeded our expectations. Most importantly, we were highly satisfied with the game rangers at each of the lodges -- Chobe Elephant Camp, Savute Safari Camp, and Saguni Safari Lodge.
I have no doubt that you will be super-satisfied with Karina's service if you deal with her.
