Flawless
I strongly recommend Boundless Africa for your safari experience. I went to both Kenya and Tanzania and cannot say a single bad thing about my experience. Accommodations were perfect! Great location, very clean rooms and extremely helpful staff. You will certainly not be disappointed, make sure you book a tented camp in your tour - definitely worth it. A special call out to the guides. Ask for Anthony (Kenya) and Vincent (Tanzania). They were both extremely knowledgeable, fun and willing to put up with our endless photo sessions of animals! Just perfect!

Great safari experience
I researched a lot and got quotations from many tour companies before we made our final decision. We knew that it would be a life time experience and the tour company would play a great role in it. Bryson was the fastest tour operator that got back to me and replied all my questions. He also followed up very well and tailored our tour according to our specific needs.He organized us a very good 4 days basic camping tour including Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. We could only allocate 3 nights and 4 days overall for our trip due to our busy schedule and Bryson helped us to use our time at most possible. He arranged safari jeep to pick us up directly from Arusha airport which was amazing! He prepared us a backpack with towels, toiletries, snacks and even an insect repellent spray! It was very nice of him. Then, we had a great safari tour with our guide Emmanuel. Everything was very nice. Emmanuel is an awesome guide, he knows the area very well and he really tried his best to show us everything. We saw many animals and all Big 5 although Rhino was very far. When we got back from the tour, we were really in hurry to catch our flight from Klimanjaro. Bryson arranged us a drive and he made us arrive on time. It was a great experience. We strongly recommend Safari Soles.

Trip of a lifetime!
Having just returned from Africa the memories of our trip are still fresh in my mind. Gentle, kind and thoughtful people, thriving wildlife, a serene lodge, a beautiful Landcruiser to tour the country...all thanks to our guide John. This safari far exceeded my expectations. It was great to see first hand why Tanzania is a leader in the world of conservation efforts. You name it, we saw it! Elephants, giraffes, lions....all up close. John is not only well versed in wildlife but is an amazing human and a joy to be around.

Good guide and good plan
I booked 5-day safari from Arusha to Tarangire NP (1 day), Serengeti NP (2 days), Ngorongoro and Manyara. My guide Farag is knowledgeable about the areas and always getting his car at the best space to let me watch the animals. We are lucky to find cheeta 3 times, leopard 5 times. I told my guide I wished to see migration and male lion in the close distance after day 2. We did see male lions closely and migration of wildbeest and zebro. It's spectacular. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable gorilla trekking experience
We had an unforgettable gorilla trekking experience, which we booked through Encounter Safaris. Great communication made the booking an easy and straightforward process. We were picked up from Kigali, driven to Uganda, and did two days of trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - this worked really well for us. Our guide, Jason, was very friendly, had great local knowledge, and made sure we got the most out of the experience. We were very happy with their recommendation for accomodation at Rushaga Haven Gorilla Lodge. Everything was well organised, and the trip ran completely smoothly from start to finish. We couldn’t recommend Encounter Safaris (or the gorilla trekking experience) more highly.

Dream come true safari.
I contacted 4 companies in kenya and told them what we wanted. Only 1 came back with a price for exactly what we asked for. Alan from Back Of Africa Adventure was a pleasure to deal with. He always responded within minutes to my wasaps and emails and i can assure you i sent a lot of messages. The price for our 4 nights 5 days safari stunned me i never ever thought we could have got so much value for little money. We seen 4 out the big 5 but that was good for us as our guides done their upmost best. Seeing 2 leopard was the highlight. I now know we could afford another safari and if i am ever in Kenya again i will be in touch with Alan for sure. Did i mention our tents at the campsite were ensuite?

Excelent service without any problems
It was our first visit to Africa and we naturally had worries about the organization, safety etc. But our 6-day safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) was just awesome. We took sharing programme so we changed the safari van a few times because of organizational reasons (everyone has some specific requests like flight, next trip etc.) but it was kindly explained and without any doubts. All drivers were professionals and knew a lot about animals. We recommend this company for sure!

Gombe is well worth a visit
Gombe far exceeded our expectations. The guesthouse was lovely, the chimps were amazing & we had astonishingly good viewings. The guide, Iddi & tracker, Fidel were superb. The cook, Amos, was wonderful & his delicious meals were much better than expected. The boat journey was good, as was the visit to Ujiji. The night at Kigoma Hilltop resort was first class, as was their food.
Everything worked like clockwork. Our communication with the company was good, although we did have to do a lot of contacting ourselves.
The price was very reasonable too.
Just be awRe that you do not have a guide with you all the time & you are passed from driver to boat man etc. This is NOT a problem, but it could make some people nervous.
All in all, highly recommended.

Amazing Safari Experience
My friend and I had a limited time in Nairobi but we were keen to do the Maasai Mara in 2 days. Our driver Geoffrey was absolutely amazing and we were very lucky to be able to see the big 5 in just two drives.
The Maasai Mara was absolutely beautiful, and I would recommend this group for organising it!
