Magical Tanzania
Encompass Africa (Danica) organised our second trip to Africa and similar to our first, they did not disappoint. Communication is excellent, with many date changes and different itineraries being proposed, all of which were dealt with patiently, despite our many emails and questions. Danica has so much passion and enthusiasm for Africa and that coupled with her professionalism and knowledge makes the planning almost as much fun as the trip itself. We felt safe every step of the way with our 2 teenage children and the camps we stayed in were all comfortable, with great food and amazing, warm and friendly staff who could not do enough for you. We would highly recommend Nasikia Camps. We had a guide from Massai Wanderings for our first 4 days and he had a wealth of knowledge and was patient with the thousands of questions from our teenage son. The whole tour was without hitch, camps great, wildlife sightings excellent, staff superb and we can't wait for our next trip. The tour included Dar es Salam, Arusha, Tarangire National Park (so many elephants and birds!),Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and the awesome Serengeti. It was magical to experience a hot air ballon over the Serengeti at sunrise, followed by a delicious bush breakfast with silver service and champagne. Can't wait to plan our next African adventure!

Excellent services!!! Wow
We have just returned from our 11 days signature of Rwanda trip by Hermosa Life tours and travel. Thanks to the team and Yvonne in particular for suggesting for us such a beautiful trip to this nice green country. Yes, we have been on safaris before but this one is going to be in our hearts for so long. We started with a city tour in Kigali city, saw the genocide memorial, traveled to Akagera National Park for game viewing, then to the southern side of the country in Nyungwe forest, relaxed at Lake Kivu and we finished out trip with the mountain gorillas.
Our driver Patrick gave us very beautiful stories about Rwanda and my daughter kept on recording them. The lodges chosen had cozy beds, African touch elements everywhere and these are things we enjoy in Africa most. Everyone involved from hotels, food served, driver guide, rangers at the parks, Hermosa Life Tours our agency, Rwanda as a country, we can say that this was excellent service to my family. We recommend this team.

He is an amazing guide and went out of his way to show us animals, his timings are very flexible and he is overall a very good friend! He deserves a promotion and made my first trip to Africa 200% more enjoyable! I thank lion king for this amazing experience and salehe kimosa for making this trip extra memorable!

Couldn't ask for anyone better.
The best tour company ever. From sending us quotations to the last day of travel. They are always on call if anything happens and they respond by the minute. We got exactly what we wanted for our budget and more. Highly recommended!

He is very smart, energetic and helpful.
We saw the big five! Our favourite safaris were Tarengire and Ngorongoro. The guide was very helpful. You could always ask the guide questions and he would always answer. The money value is great!

Uganda is an amazing country unfortunately not many people know about it :)
They are so professional and friendly I’ve spent a wonderful time.
If I’ll go to Uganda again I’ll definitely go with them

Good service but incredibly expensive - some costs could have been avoided
The service was seamless and prompt. Thought I felt that some costs could have avoided.
For example, I had a driver and car booked to pick up from airport and take me straight to Naivasha. After a night's stay in Naivasha, I headed to the Mara for 3 nights. The camp where I stayed had its own vehicle to take me for the game drives. This was not known to me as I was a first time traveler. Africa Keys car and driver stayed there for 3 nights in that camp AT MY EXPENSE. The guy and the driver could have gone back to Nairobi and returned for pickup.
By the time I realized it, it was already too late. I ended up paying for the parked vehicle and the driver for all 3 nights.
The last night stay at Nairobi wasn't great. The suite was a cramped one bedroom suite for a family of 4 , two adults, one 13 year old and 7 year old.
Considering the amount I paid, I was expecting a 2 bedroom suite.
Please be clear about what you are being charged for and the deliverables.
