Game on Kenya
Wow, what a great Safari we had! Yet again (our third Safari with these value for money Kenyan Adventure experts).
Thank you so much Bushbuck. If you are seeking a tailor made and personalised Safari you won’t go past Ken and his team. This time we travelled throughout western Kenya through the lake districts and onto and out onto Lake Victoria returning to Nairobi through the fabulous Masai Mara. Wildlife, history, walks, culture and peoples to much to name. If you are travelling to Kenya this is the experienced and personable Safari Adventure to choose. You won’t be disappointed they are the experts in every way. We can’t wait to do it again with Bushbuck. “Just close your eyes and think of Africa what are seeing is most likely KENYA!!

We visited Katanga forest, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara and Amboseli over 9 days
Kenya is a great place to visit on safari. We enjoyed everywhere we went - which was a self picked itinerary. In retrospect I think we should have visited fewer parks in the time available as we did have some long days driving. Our driver was excellent at finding game for us - and was always keen to find as much as possible for us to see!
Food and accommodation everywhere was very good.

Holiday of a lifetime
An extremely well organised itinerary by the Cardboard Box Company with varied accommodation. Local guides were excellent and informative. Scenery was spectacular and the weather behaved itself! We saw a lot of very varied wildlife especially in Etosha National Park. We enjoyed the flexibility of our 4x4 self drive.
Dive adventure in the Quirimbas archipelago
Our cruise in the Quirimbas archipelago was rather difficult : we were not welcomed. Most of the islands are private so we were not allowed to land. Even though we had a permit, sometimes we were not allowed to anchor.
We visited Ibo island : the village is out of time, a very pleasant and peaceful place where people are very quiet and the colors at the end of the afternoon on the old buildings were so beautiful. Some species of birds were standing in the mangrove but we didn't have enough time for bird watching.
The dive conditions were difficult : courant, poor visibility. But whatever we had good times and Neptune's arms dive site is amazing. Many schools of fish, lutjanus, caranx and also reef white sharks.

It was really awesome tour
A GREAT TOUR WITH GREAT PEOPLE!
From start to finish this trip was perfect. In Tanzania, our guide was a top notch professional and extremely knowledgeable, taking us off the beaten path to provide us with an unrivalled experience in the parks. Dahlia’s advices for Tanzania were also unimpeachable. Our guide provided us with a social and political perspective no travel brochure could provide. It was a privilege for us to have him share his story with us which was honest, raw, and poignant and changed us in profound ways. We surprised by the level of hospitality from the owner of Dahlia Africa, he organized for us a free BBq dinner at the end of our trip and he bother to drive us to the airport himself he made us felt we paid less for all we got. We recommend you to our friends and travelers.

An adventure - experiencing the African bush in true African style on a mobile safari
I went on a 7-day mobile safari in November, 2018 with my two daughters and their husband/boyfriend. We experienced the African bush as it should be experienced within our own private group! Philimon, owner and managing director of Walking Stick Travel and Tour,s worked with me to customize our safari vie e-mail. We spent two nights in the Okavango Delta with Kenny as our guide, two nights in Khwai Concession and two nights in Kasane to swim in Devil's Pool at Victoria Falls in Zambia. Philimon demonstrated knowledge of the parks when he suggested Khwai over Moremi because we coud drive off-road in search of game. That allowed us to view animals right alongside our truck! Philimon has a vast knowledge of the animals - where they frequent as well as general behaviors. He placed our safety first with campsite rules, mokoro (traditional canoes used in the Delta) rules and walking safari rules. The food was great; cooked over a campfire by our chef, Joe. Though the basics of our safari were top-notch, it's the little things that raise a good safari to an excellent safari. This is where Philimon and his team excelled. We were picked up at the airport by Philimon and Joe the day before our safari. Joe questioned our dietary issues and took our drink requests before shopping. Philimon drove us to our B&B and later brought us to dinner. Both he and Kenny, our Delta guide, sat with us for meals and at the fire at night. We had great conversations about the animals of Africa as well as Botswana's history and culture, and their personal stories. We experienced and learned so much more than simply viewing animals. Philimon demonstrated a true love of the animals (Imagine your guide photographing animals alongside you and exclaiming, "Wow!"). He also persevered when searching for game. He heard of a leopard sighting, so we drove round and round looking for the elusive leopard. Eventually we stopped to view the sunset, but Philimon did not give up. He heard an Impala's warning cry and we sped off to find the leopard. Sure enough, it was a fabulous sighting with no other safari vehicles. We had requested to swim at Devil's Pool at Victoria Falls in Zambia. Philimon had never been, but arranged our swim and navigated us through the border crossing. So, if you are contemplating a safari, book a mobile safari with Philimon and Walking Stick Travel and Tours. You will not be disappointed!

Wonderful holiday in Northern Tanzania
Noel organised a fantastic safari for me which was 6 days in Northern Tanzania visiting Tarangire National park, lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti. I had lots of questions before the trip which Noel was able to answer through phone and email. And then met me before the safari and after the safari. I went solo with the guide/driver and the cook. It was a fantastic experience and I had such a great time. The guide was excellent - keen, enthusiastic and was knew all the different animals and birds. The food was good and the tent/ 4 wheel drive comfortable. The only thing that was not good was the campsite in Serengeti but this was not Enosa's fault but the Serengeti Park authorities who just do not maintain their campsites.
Would highly recommend booking with Enosa.

Value for money, excellent communication
The safari-tour in Kenia organized by Sir Michaels Safaris was great and the communication beforehand was excellent.
Especially the first part of the trip (Samburu NP) can highly be recommended (best driver ever: Silas). Masai Mara was good, but too much tourists for our taste.

A time to remember with Preigod and Sokofo
We had the best time during our safari experience with Preygod and Sokofo. They were so friendly and assisted us very well during our time in Tanzania. We felt with friends all the time. Preygod was very good guide/driver and encouraged us to enjoy sleeping in the wild. Sokofo’s Food was amazing, being vegetarians he had always lot of options for us.Our experience in Kenya wasn’t that great and they did really changed our perception of the safari and Made us laugh and enjoy the wild of Serengeti and Gorongoro. Thank you for everything!! Amaia and Marco :) xxx

Safpol Safaris offers services at the highest level and that's why I recommend them.
I used their services four times (South Africa with Botswana and Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Seycheles, Mauritius).Preparation of the program and fine tuning of all details took place very smoothly.Barbara and Peter are the best guides I have ever met.
