Outstanding service and awesome adventure
I feel lucky that I picked Kikwetu to provide a safari for 8 days. I was travelling with my wife and 2 young children and I think that I had sent about 100 emails to different companies. Kenneth from Kikwetu was the only one that took into consideration my young children and devised an itinerary that would ensure a great time for my whole family.
After about another 80 emails backwards and forwards with Kenneth. I decided to book with him.
I am so glad I did because we had an amazing time.
Livingstone our driver and guide was awesome. Driving safely to get us to the parks. And on game drives he worked hard to find animals for us. He seemed as excited as us when we found a cheetah with a fresh kill.
All the accommodation booked for us was awesome, great service and putting us right in the action.
The airline lost 2 of our bags on the flight into Kenya and Kenneth personally picked up our bags and brought them to us in the middle of our safari. Now that is service, he didn’t want us to miss anytime on safari. Thanks Kenneth it was much appreciated.
Do yourself a favour and book with Kikwetu you will be in good hands.

We felt like honored guests in Zimbabwe!
My team of 5 was in the Vic Falls region for 3 weeks and Fungayi completely made it happen! We had changes, illness and multiple schedules that he managed better than we could. His people would call or message us via WhatsApp to check and remind us to assure smooth transitions. The NGO we were working with has many years experience with Afro Honeyguide and only glowing reports.
The simple logistics of arrivals and departures are complicated by the nearby 4 international borders, visas and delays around Vic Falls. During trip planning, Afro Honeyguide Adventures managed the basics then suggested and delivered additional ideas based on our interests. These excursions put the "icing on the cake" of some safari adventures. The safari operators and guides were all well chosen and excellent.
Communication and banking in Zambia / Zimbabwe / Botswana / Namibia can challenging and I felt uneasy at first few communications. I completely trust Afro Honeyguide and Fungayi as a capable, ethical and well connected. Trust them and they will look after you!

Feeling Africa
The experience with Kibale tours was amazing. We also went to Kenia, but in Uganda with Peter you can really feel how Africa is. The camp and its food was wonderful. We hope to be there soon again.

East Africa: greatest adventure
I am a teacher who has led students all over the world on adventure trips. On this experience, I was the student in a teacher enhancement course. I have been to Africa 5 times and this is the most memorable. 19 people assembled flawlessly in the Stanley hotel, coming from varied destinations in the US on several different airlines. Eliud and Niko made sure each of us arrived safely at our own arrival time to beautiful , historical, accommodations.
Then the true adventure began, 21 days of animal encounters. Each guide, Niko, Eliud and Stephen had a different personality and set of skills to get us where we needed to be to see the best up- close and personal African animals.
Teachers have the most questions of any group of people I have encountered. These guides never once missed a beat answering all of our questions. They had such a sense of humor when whoever was sitting next to them repeated for the rest of the van the answers. We didn't always get the facts straight, like interpreting perfume into bubble gum. They corrected us with a smile and a repeat of the real fact.
We saw so many animals of every variety. It was breathtaking to sit among the migrating wildebeest and zebra. They was never a hurry, unless we were finding cats climbing in trees or mating or feeding. When the message was received and the van took off in a different direction, you knew something even more special was going to happen.
I was prepared for tents, but what we got were accommodations fit for royalty.
This company is a small family run business who knows how to expand their family with their clients. I feel I have left my sons and daughter in Kenya to continue this adventure for others.
I highly recommend Susan, Niko, Eliud and the rest of their staff.

Individual trip which fulfilled a dream
Found Grassrootz as recommendation for Gorilla-Trekking in Uganda. After telling Sander what we would like to see and how we would like to travel in Uganda, he put together a trip that included everthing we wanted for our journey. Tanks a lot for thi experience.

The best African experience
We travelled as a couple to Kenya in June 2018. Because of the competitive rates and flexible itineraries, we decided to contact Adventure 360. Before our trip started, Charity was already very responsive and friendly. She helped us to create a beautiful itinerary for our 9 days in Kenya.
On our first day our guide Joseph picked us up right on time and we met Charity in person. Both of them are very kind and helpful. Joseph taught us during the tour so much about his country and did all he could to make our trip the best experience. He is a very knowledgeable and helpful tour guide and is passionate about his country and its beautiful nature.
During our tour we decided that we actually wanted to do something more active, while we actually already booked something else. We decided to still ask if there were any possibilities, even though we obviously expected it was not possible, as it was quite a big thing to ask as everything was booked already. However, Charity and Joseph were so flexible that they could help us to modify our itinerary at the very last minute. They really did everything to exceed our expectations, they made the impossible possible for us.
Also, I was unlucky to get sick at the end of the tour. Joseph and Charity were so caring that they helped us to get to the hospital and get medicines from the farmacy. They treated us like friends and made us feel like home in their country.
Charity and Joseph, thanks again for everything. We would definitely recommend you to everyone and would book again with Adventure 360!

Great adventure tour company with awesome guides
Highly recommend Mega for their professionalism, focus on safety and most importantly awesome guides who genuinely care about the animals in the wilderness and goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great time.
We did the Mt Meru climb, followed by 6 days safari and finished up with 3 days motorbike tour with Mega. Mohamed was really great in organising the entire itinerary and is very prompt in his reponses (given we organised the trip in less than a month before departure)
Mt Meru - Our guide, Goodluck and his team were professional and friendly. Goodluck is very knowledgeable and explained to us about the different terrain, plants and animals that we see during the entire trek. We were trekking with other groups (since it was a shared armed ranger) and Goodluck was the only guide that actually did that. What we were impressed is the focus of Mega on the safety of climbers. We had a nightly health check which include testing of oxygen level in the blood (again, we are the only ones with such health check compared to other groups). We were worried about altitude sickness given we started the day after we arrived and couldn't take Diamox due to allergy. So that was really comforting. Food during the trek was plenty and great. Nothing to worry except for us to enjoy the hike.
6 days safari - Abu and Khalid were awesome. They are friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the plants and animals we see on the way. It was a different experience every day and Abu always try to make sure we could see the animals we were interested in. They are also very focus on environment & animal conservation. We had our parents with us for the safari and Abu & Khalid definitely made it a trip of a lifetime for them and us. Great lodges throughout the trip.
3 days motorbike safari - Definitely an adventure with different trails and awesome view of Kili and Meru along the way. A great experience to see the animals in the wilderness on a motorbike. The lodge - Kambi Ya Tembo is a definite must stay. It was a great way to end the entire adventure!

Sunny Safaris for once in Life Time Experience
We undertook camping Safari with Sunny Safaris and we're group of 06 adults. We arrived in Arusha from Nairobi shuttle service and were received by our Driver cum Guide and our Safari started. We had picnic lunch and by evening we arrived at Tembo Camp site. Our tenants were pitched up by our Driver and also had a dedicated Cook accompanying us and he cooked delicious meals for us. As we all were pure vegetarian, he tried his best to serve us superb meals in the midst of Jungle.
We spent 02 nights at Seronera camp site and 01 night at Ngorongoro Camping site and at all the places we had superb game viewing including Big Five
Thank you Sunny Safaris, Arusha for this superb experience.
