Absolutely amazing experience
Did a 3 day safari with these guys and loved every minute. The organisation from the outset was impeccable (thanks Thompson), the hotels outstanding and the guide (Witson) was fantastic. Very friendly, knew his stuff and eyes of a hawk to spot animals I missed with binoculars. Highly recommend these guys. They might be a smaller company but that just means the service is better!

Roho Ya Chui thought of everything.
We booked our safari vacation with Roho Ya Chui on Christmas, left mid February. We were first timers and booked on a whim when we finally got a break in our schedules. We had done little research, Roho Ya Chui thought of everything for us. We were provided with visa information, packing list, itinerary etc. All our transfers were seamless and our accommodations were excellent. It was really an amazing holiday, every detail was taken care of.

A true unforgettable experience! 6 days Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara
We decided to have a 6 days safari in Kenya (Amboseli, Nakuru Lake and Masai Mara) after a first experience last year in Kruger Park, South Africa. It was only one day, but it was really good as we spotted all the big 5 and we enjoyed the trip very much, so our expectations for Kenya were very high.
I have to say that James and Geffrey (our guide) not only met those expectations, they outclassed them!
First of all, communication during the trip planning was always very good: James replied to all our emails within few hours in a very kind and thorough manner (and believe me, as we were 4 couples travelling together, we asked lots and lots of questions!). Geffrey too made sure that our curiosity for things that we saw around us was always satisfied. And we've seen the lot: all the big 5 and more, this time within a couple of meters from our 4x4 jeep!
Geffrey professionality and personal connections really contributed to add value to our experience, making it really unique. Just to mention one: instead of having breakfast at the lodge one morning in Masai Mara, he helped us to arranged with the camp chef a special boxed breakfast, that we consumed later on in the middle of the savana, sit in the open, with elephants walking not too far around you...OMG!!!!!
All the camps and lodges offered in the package were clean and comfortable, with a good food selection, swimming pool, wifi, etc.
Our 4x4 jeep was comfortable enough for 8 people even during the long driving hours from a park to the other.
We never felt that the price offered for the package was eccesive or inadeguate, on the contrary everybody was fully satisfied by the deal and happy to pay for it.
The only downside was that we missed the big migration as we visited Masai Mara in the wrong season, February.....so we left the country with the desire to visit the park another time, and, if we will have the opportunity to do so, we will be more than happy to book with Alliance Destination again. Why? Because they are true to their company motto: "creating memories", amazing ones! Thank you

Exceeded expectations!
We live in Argentina and we got to Native Escapes by the internet, without having had any reference from anyone we knew. We were looking for a family safari and beach in east Africa.
Marie was so very helpful and immediately got the type of holidays we were looking for. All her suggestions were great and while in Tanzania we realized we had taken the right decision with NE. Our guide was great and helpful. Our children (13 and 11) were astonished from such an experience of watching wildlife that close. Accommodation was very good and food was good for us and the children.
This were one of our best holidays and Marie and Native Escapes had a lot to do with it.

The Safari Partners were amazing from our first contact until we had completed our trip!
A safari trip is costly and for many is a once in a lifetime trip. Researching safari companies can be overwhelming. There are many and they offer many options. I can save you some time and grief - contact The Safari Partners from Vancouver, Canada! My wife and I recently completed a "Gorillas, Game, and Beaches" trip with The Safari Partners to East Africa. Right from our initial e-mails to Chris Ronneseth at The Safari Partners everything was handled in a very professional manner. Chris patiently responded to all of our concerns in a respectful and informative manner, often only minutes after we sent the e-mail.
While we were in Africa everything went as planned. All of the companies that The Safari Partners use in Africa are top notch. The guides and drivers went out of their way to ensure that we had the best experience possible. We saw the big five in our first day in the Maasai Mara. The accommodations and meals were amazing. We had high expectations for our trip and it surpassed them in every way!
We had a flight from Kigali to Nairobi on Super Bowl Sunday. Our flight was cancelled and I e-mailed Chris from the Kigali airport. He responded in minutes, reassured us, and contacted the folks in Nairobi to let them know our situation. When we arrived in Nairobi several hours later, Chris had arranged everything and our trip was right back on track. Incredible!
We have no hesitation in recommending The Safari Partners!

A tour to remember
It was my best tour ever, it was a nice and an amazing trip which
I never experienced before. Luitours and Safaris did a perfect job. The service was perfect and the guide Fareed was really good and very knowledgeable with wild animals. He knew where to spot animals and where to take nice pictures, Once in Tanzania, the organization was simply perfect, we didn’t have a single issue during our trip there and back or our stay.

A 16 day tour of camps in Kenya and Tanzanea with daily drives with driver/guides not to be missed.
We set up our own safari with Wildebeest Safaris after trying 5 other safari companies and not being able to have the safari company provide us with the tour requested. Noah worked with us to provide the places, times and drives we wanted. his efforts resulted in a safari of complete satisfaction and experiences beyond our expectations. We had 2 driver/guides who were attentive to our requests and wants. there was never a moment we were in danger or without animal/bird contacts that disappointed us. The camps chosen were exceptional in comfort, safety, food quality, quantity and care by the staff. We would recommend Wildebeeste Safaris with great enthusiasm.

Flawless trip organisation with excellent service throughout!
Just visited Uganda to take my wife to see the gorillas (and chimps) as a birthday treat. A little apprehensive when first booking with these guys as I knew nothing of them. All correspondence was answered instantly with suggestions on how I could improve my proposed itinerary which only made our experience better. Desire dealt with all trip administration in a very efficient manner. Payment was made using a secure method which built my confidence with balance on arrival. Moses was our guide; friendly, safe, knowledgeable and keen to ensure we gained the most from our visit - even met his dad in passing!! Lodges were of a high standard. Views were amazing and time with the gorillas and chimps is impossible to describe - just amazing! The chimps even came to see us on the track after failing to find them in the forest during our 3-hour trek which meant we had return with the ranger - no questions or quibbles, Moses an£ the ranger were just as excited as we were! Overall an outstanding experience with a very well run company. If in doubt, drop them an e-mail and take a holiday of a lifetim3 to a country you will simply adore. I will do it all again with these guys next year!
