The most amazing African adventure ever!
We were fortunate enough to have 5 days with Walking Sticks and their team and had the most amazing African adventure. We knew before hand that they were are more basic tour group and not a luxury lodge outfit, but that is what we wanted. We are the type of travellers that want to expirience the raw taste and smell of a country and don't mind roughing it to achieve that feeling. Old, but reliable 4 wheel Toyota Landcruiser go anywhere vehicle, canvas tent, long drop toilet with canvas sides, bucket shower hanging in a tree. The food, made over an open fire was fantastic especially since my wife is lactose and gluten interolant , but they were able to cater for all her needs. Even the small things to make the experience memorable, like a gin and tonic for the lady and beer for the man at the end of a long hot but exciting day.
I could go on for ever about how the guide was able to find the right spot for game viewing and we were fortunate enough to see some really interesting game up close. Thank you Phillimon, Michael and the crew.
If you want a real experience of Africa, it's smells and sights and not too concerned with comfort, then Walking Sticks is for you!

Great experience with Migada on Safari !
Begin of February my wife and me travelled a 13 days safari with Migada Adventures Tours & Safaris. We experienced this company, the planning and the performance of the safaris as very professional: From the first personal contact on the Vacation Fair in Utrecht (NL) where we met Mike (owner/director of Migada), to the booking procedure in the following week, even though we had some special wishes about the route and the highlights.
In first instance we found the all-in price a bit high, but very soon we agreed to the great value for the price, because Mike coordinated our trips very well!
The driver/guide Laurence is one of the best we ever had: Thanks to his unbelievable geographical skills we always found the right way. We saw nearly all types of wildlife (mostly even with babies). Additionally his excellent naked eyes enabled him to detect the game far before us! Each time Laurence explained the animals’ behaviour which enabled us to understand the African wildlife better. On safari we saw numerous animals in close-up and this was truly amazing!
We drove Tarangire Park, game drives in the Lakes Manyara and Eyasi area, Ngorongoro crater and Oldupai Gorge (geological high light). In the Serengeti we visited Prof. Bernhard Grzimecks memorial. Near Arusha we walked on the tracks of Hardy Krüger and John Wayne from their movie Hatari! (Hatari/Momella Lodge).
Laurence’s knowledge of the history of Tanzania and touristic sites is comprehensive.
Whenever we asked the driver stopped for any game or viewing point to take pictures.
Next to Masai markets we also visited both tribes Datoga and Hadzabe (accompanying the latter on a bow & arrow bush hunt).
Migada’s Landcruiser was in excellent condition.
The hotels/camps were quite comfortable, according to the level of comfort that we had expected.
Unanimously we would highly recommend Migada Adventures Tours & Safaris for all your safari needs in Tanzania.

Amazing Kenya!!
We are from Buenos Aires Argentina, this one was our first time in Africa and our first Safari and everything was wonderful!!
Kenya Walking Survivors was the perfect company, Mr. Otieno responded all our questions months ahead! Any Doubt about itinerary and payment was answered at perfection!
Our guide Benson was fantastic!!! 20 years experienced on safaris, we could see the Big Five and much more!! Comfortable vehicle and the itinerary very well plan around Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivasha.
Kenya has the most incredible Parks and Animals in the world and also people are friendly, generous and kind.
We really recommend KWS as a serious and well trained company who works very hard to make everything work perfectly, the logistics for a safari is quite complex so we really apreciate the effort of KWS, if anything goes wrong they will solve it promptly.
We will choose them again for sure!

The greatest tour of Africa EVER.
I have been on many tours of Africa and find this is by far the best. The knowledge of the guide, the accommodation and the variety of wildlife we saw was amazing. Definitely the best value for money on the market. All questions asked before the tour was answered immediately. The communication was brilliant. I have booked again to go in July 2018 and went for the first time with this tour company in February 2017. The fact that I keep going back with them speaks for itself. We saw the big five and many many more. We could not have been happier if we had spent twice as much. BRILLIANT BRILLIANT!!!!

This was a fabulous trip that went beyond my expectations
Our trip to Africa was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I love Africa, it was better than I could have ever imagined. The people were wonderful and the animals were amazing. We really enjoyed our guides and Mr OT is an exceptional organizer with much patience for all my emails and questions. He was very informative and quick to respond.
My only regret is that I couldn’t stay. I am missing it terribly.
Thank you so much for helping me fulfill my life dream!!

KWS organized an excellent trip
I booked the trip online at a rather short notice. All aspects of the trip were handled very well by Mr. Otieno and we had a great time. Our guide, Shuma was very knowledgeable and we saw big five on the first day. The accommodations at Osero lodge were very comfortable and food excellent.

This meeting was also great because it was perfectly prepared by encounter africa safaris. for this I would like to thank Chris for the preparation of our trip especially for his professionalism, availability, responsiveness and kindness and of course the awesome guide who accompanied us during our trip, TOLBERT, his professionalism , his availability, his knowledge of Uganda and animals, its responsiveness to change our trip to go see the birds including the shoebill in the marshes of Lake victoria, his kindness and besides it's a very good person! Thanks also to Emmanuel and alex for making us better know their culture.

Good safari, well organised.
The guide and driver Kikitu knows a lot about animals. So he was able to explain their lives. He was attentive during the safari in the park, which is not always teh same with somes drivers. He was too very helpful. We enjoyed our safari.
