Great experience in Uganda and Ruanda
We had a great time and lots of interesting and amazing animal encounters in both countries. The tour plan is super. We have never been so close to Rhinos like in Ziwa. Murchison Falls is a must - especially the walk up the falls is amazing. Queen Elisabeth NP also had some surprise – a herd of elephants at Kazinga channel and tree climbing lions very close. Our first Chimp trekking in Kibale was not successful, but we got a second chance and the encounter was amazing. We also had good luck in two Gorilla trekkings. Although the first one in Bwindi was quite hard (7 hours and very steep slopes) but impressive. Contrary, in Volcanoes it was like a Sunday afternoon stroll. We met the gorillas in a clearing playing and eating all the time – amazing to observe!
Due to our local guide who spoke excellent German we had the possibility to get in contact with local people and their culture and traditions easily. So we learnt a lot about the daily life in Uganda.
Both countries are a great spot for safaris and not so crowed. They can easily compete with Kenia, Tansania and other hot spots. I prefer these smaller places!

Making Dreams Come True
The logistics of travelling for 16 days to 6 different camps in Botswana (5) and Zimbabwe (1) via small aircraft and road transfers were perfectly handled. It was the magical trip we envisioned and I can’t thank Natasha Allan of Sun Safaris enough for all her help in making our dream come true. The animals we saw each day made us feel as if we were extras in a National Geographic movie. Each camp we stayed in surpassed my imagination for beauty, service and comfort. Botswana is really spectacular. The trip was a success in no small part due to the planning Natasha put into it.

Great safari experience
I took two safari tours with Yala (Murchison and Queen Elizabeth). One in May with friends and one in July with my partner. Both times Godwin, our guide, was very friendly and helpful. He organised everything from our meals (some of my friends had allergy issues or were vegetarians) to visits to the local communities. He also would adjust the plans as we asked him, without any further charges. Moreover, he would do whatever it took for us to see the best animals, from talking to other guides he knew to trying to find traces of hunting so we would be able to see our favorite animals. In the end, we managed to see elephants, hippos, giraffes, pumba, hyenas and even zebras from a distance. I had a great time and I hope I will be able to go back to Uganda soon.

excellence in service
for the second time, rose hipwood managed to put together at short notice an amazing holiday for the whole family. from the time we arrived in Kenya to the time we left it was clockwork efficiency all the way. her choice of 2 lodges - sasaab in samburu and angama in the Maasai mara exceeded expectations. apart from the lodge staff which papered us so well, the game experience was awesome - with crocodiles snapping at the heels of zebras crossing the masai river, the wildebeest crossings and herds of the animals scattering from a charging lion. hiccups like a cancelled international flight (!) posed no issue with the luxury safari company handling it with aplomb. highly highly recommended.

Safe and Competent Guide
The safari company answered our questions before arrival quickly and throughly. Our guide Ken was extremely knowledgable and an expert on the area. He asked us our expectations and was able to deliver a great safari experience.

African comfort zone safaris provided the perfect safari in the Maasai Mara for us for a good price!
Originally I chose African comfort zone safaris because me and my friends were all quite young and looking for a reasonably budget safari to suit our limited funds. The company itself were brilliant and Joshua Atsiangi was outstanding at replying to my e-mails when I had queries regarding the booking process and, closer to the time, when organising a pick up location and time. The safari itself was outstanding, our guide Sami was brilliant and was always quickly onto the scene when animals were spotted, he knew a lot of interesting information about everything we saw and we were really fortunate to see lots of rare things such a cheetahs multiple times!
Overall this safari was absolutely perfect for me and my friends as it was well priced, the accommodation we stayed in was perfectly comfortable and warm, our guide Sami was brilliant and we felt like we saw everything the Maasai Mara had to offer in a 4 day 3 night tour!

great safari organised by true professionals
The safari experience with Pamela's Magical Retreat was truly awesome. The accommodation, the vehicles and the drivers/guides were all super. Pamela was very responsive and helpful. The food was great. No problems. Got to see all the animals and were given lot of important information by the guides. All in all a strong recommend for the company.
