Wonderful memories of Tanzania southern parks
We had another great trip with KWESA in the south. This time we opted to go Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha Parks as we had done the northern parks last year. Our driver picked us from Dar and drove us south to Selous. We enjoyed the diversity of this park a lot. Water animals like hippos, water birds and we even saw elephants wading in water from our boat. We then went to Mikumi which is also full of wild game, lots of buffaloes and hippos at an artificial pond. Ruaha is surely different, with huge baobab trees and different habitat. We went along the river Ruaha and there was so much game including huge lion prides with almost 20 members and they had captured a giraffe. The sights were just amazing.
KWESA is a great company, they employ only the experienced and outstanding guides who enrich the tours. Their vehicles are well serviced and in great condition and even have a fridge, electric charging points and WIFI. I have used them twice and I will continue using them.

Excellent communication, well planned agenda and fabulous day seeing Nairobi National Park!
Stella was very helpful by email---quick, professional, and helped turn a complicated idea into a detailed agenda which was smoothly executed.

Great Trip in Rwanda
I booked my tour with Devine African Safaris and I could not be happier. It was way cheaper going with a local operator than it would have been if I had used the international operators. Chris our guide was knowledgeable and considerate, answered all our questions and listened to everything we requested for and just made it happen.
We enjoyed the parks in Rwanda including the amazing trek to the mountain gorillas. Chris made a huge difference in our tour and we will leave Rwanda with a better appreciation of its culture, people, beauty and natural resources.
I recommend this wonderful company fully to all my mates.

Fantastic family experience - memories for a lifetime
We opted for a 5 day safari which included crater lake exploration, chimpazee trekking in Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth Park, Ishasha Park and then camping by Kachira Lake (which we added). Edrissa was very helpful and accommodating in the organising, visited us in Kampala a couple of times prior to the trip as well and very well organised. Our guide and driver Moses was excellent - great driving skills, good knowledge, and extremely professional and calm throughout the whole trip.
All the accommodation we stayed in (Isanga, Pumba, and Tipo) had incredible views, good food (especially the soups which we enjoyed a lot), and were clean. Shout out to the staff at Pumba and Tipo lodges who were so kind, friendly, and professional. We felt very looked after the whole time and think your staff are really great. The accommodation is quite eco-friendly and should showcase that more.
The actual safari was great - nature is always unpredictable but we were lucky to see lions, hyenas, amazing elephant herd and solo sightings, and snakes. The parks are beautiful. The chimpanzee trek was a real highlight and so special - we were lucky to find chimps after 15 minutes and then spent the rest of the time tracking and following them.
We had a slight issue on our return trip to Kampala with the car breaking down and we lost many hours but Moses and Edrissa dealt with it - suggestion to Mamaland management to make sure the cars are in great shape before leaving.
We travelled as a family of 5 and cannot recommend Mamaland more. It feels like an intimate family type holiday where you are well taken care of the whole time. Thank you Mamaland for the unforgettable experience!

Rip off for average package with positive attirude
Over priced package was for the oldest, simplest jeep, below average food, ontime but unaware people of details and what the package covers...charged for average available hotels highly, ticket copies and our bill were not adding up....very accommodating boss but no answers on billing correction or refunds..highly disappointing price quality...prefer South Africa experience be it for price quality relationships or honesty in offer!

Great Adventure
Great communication and service from the very beginning. We were on a four days safari with our guide Faradi. He took us through this amazing journey with a lot of knowledge about all the animals and we saw the Big Five! The overnight stays was perfect for us.
We highly recommend Godson Adventures!
Thank you for the best safari adventures!

What an amazing 5 star 'bucket list' experience.
Firstly can we thanks Vanessa for organizing such an amazing trip and for making sure the hotels and game parks were able to cater for my unusual way of eating (as i require all my food to be puree as i'm on a PEG). Firstly the hotel in Cape Town at the base of Table Mountain was first rate as was the room upgrade! Great location, friendly staff and wonderful food, big bonus was the free shuttle bus with-in 8kls to ferry us around and even pick us up. Next was the internal flights up to Joburg and the private transfers to and from the Waterburg Biosphere where our 2 lodges were located. First was the 'Clifftop exclusive safari hideaway' and though one of the older lodges was so warm and welcoming, the 5 large private suites spread along the cliff with large terraces, private plunge pool and furnished bale for shade. The food was just mouthwatering (so my wife told me) and excellent selection. This lodge was all inclusive and free flow of wine, beer and selected spirits which made a lot of difference at the end of the day. Our game park guide was incredible and we spend 3-4 hours starting at 5.30am and again at 4pm let us cover large areas of the park and see the BIG 5. We then moved to Makweti safari lodge, this was also a 5 star lodge with good food though drinks were not included. The 5 lodges were smaller but the main building was filled with amazing Africa antiques and a HUGE wine cellar! We were so impress with how close the animals came up to the lodge and again the amazing staff. A big thankyou to all.
