Perfect to accommodate all our wishes for a safari honeymoon!
We got in touch with Suzanne from Vayeni for organizing our honeymoon, 4 weeks in Africa. We had certain wishes, but also a certain budget. Vayeni went the extra mile to give us a one in a lifetime experience. People warned us that Africa is Africa and you should be prepared that anything could potentially go wrong. However, nothing went wrong. All was perfect. It was a big organisation since we travelled from lodge to lodge in various countries. Everything was arranged top notch!!! All the camps knew we were coming, the were so well prepared by Vayeni. And the most difficult part, transport and logistics between the various countries and lodges was super organised. We were amazed by everything they arranged and would go back to do business with them in an instant. If you are looking for a travel experience without any worries, go through Vayeni. Would have not done one thing different.

Trustworthy, helpful, courteous, reliable.
James was helpful and upfront from the beginning right from first contact. The proposed itinerary was changed without any problems to suit our time table . James met us before the trip and put our minds to ease since the Kenyan elections were just over , we were a bit worried.He listed out what to expect during our safari.
The trip to Masai mara and Lake Nakuru was real good thanks to Francis , our driver who was reliable, always on time and knew about the animals, he was also a good spotter , especially the leopards that were camouflaged up in the trees. Francis was also a safe driver. We saw all the big 5 and many more.
The camps and lodges were all excellent so were the people we met.
Thank you Wildlife sun safari.

Wonderful experience!
Rochelle was amazing to work with! She answered all my questions promptly (even with the time difference) and helped me through every step - from when and where I would be picked up, to the times I'd be dropped off and everything in between. She even provided me with multiple means of contact, just in case. The safari itself was an AMAZING experience and it helped so much knowing that someone was always just a phone call away in case something went wrong. I'd recommend Kruger Park Tours to anyone who wants to visit this amazing country!

Excellent experience
The tour operator James suggested a great itinerary for the tour and was able to accommodate our specific choice and the time frame.
He greeted us at the airport. Our flight was delayed but he even took us to a lovely dinner.
Our guide Simon was very knowledgeable, pleasant and spoke English very well. He also was able to assist with many requests that we had.
We saw all the animals and Simon was very good at finding them and keeping us safe.
Our hotels choice were wonderful, especially in Amboseli. The lodge in Maasai Mara situated well and the room was lovely, but wish for better food choices.
Our days were memorable.
Definitely one of the best trips

Could not have asked for a better safari plan. E-Trip Africa covered all of our needs and then some!
Aurelia and Ben responded quickly to all communication and were able to accommodate our needs. We were already in the country for work and had people arriving and taking off at different times, but they were able to get us airport transfers to fit our schedules. They also extended a lot of information that would have been suitable to prepare for first time travelers in Africa while having ample experience to keep veteran safari goers entertained as well. We were fortunate to stay at the Researchers Rest which offered excellent accommodation and delightful meals.
On the safari itself, we were taken across Lake Tanginyire and stayed within the beautiful park. We were hesitant to stay within the park due to our limited budget, but drinking coffee while overlooking the valley was an amazing way to wake up to be ready to set off for Lake Manyara. We ended the trip in Ngorongoro Crater and were impressed by the concentration of animals in the massive crater. Within 3 days we saw so much wildlife and diverse habitats in NW Tanzania. We had a great time with the guide; he was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. I think he especially enjoyed our rendition of "Jambo bwana".
It was also great to chat with Ben, as conservationists working in Africa, about his wealth of knowledge of development and conservation in Africa, and to share some old Peace Corps Stories. I would certainly travel with E-Trip Africa again should I return to the region in search of a safari company as it is a small, well organized company dedicated to the happiness of both their clients and staff.

Professional, knowledgeable, experienced, dedicated, caring, excellent safe driver and guide,
Extremely reliable and client oriented safari. We traveled as a family and had an outstanding experience. Everything was as expected or beyond expectations. Our driver and guide, Elias, was professional, knowledgeable, experienced, dedicated, caring, and not intrusive. Spending 5 days with him was a genuine pleasure. Highly recommended organization.

Exceptional service around the clock - goes beyond the trip itself
I wanted to take the time to write a review about the Luxury Safari Company, in particular working with Rose. She planned the most spectacular honeymoon for my husband and I in September. We experienced the most fabulous, luxurious accommodations at each stop along the way - Cape Town, wine country and South African Safari in Madikwe Reserve. She knows exactly what she is talking about when it comes to where to stay, when to go, the amount of wildlife you will see, etc. My husband and I talk about the trip literally every day. Rose won our trust over so much that we have since reached out to talk about returning to Africa again as soon as possible... yes, even in the same year. The issue with a trip to Africa though is it takes A LOT of research, planning and is quite the investment. Naturally, we have to go back and forth with Rose quite a bit to figure out if another Africa trip is in our future... and I ask a million questions along the way. Sadly, timing hasn't worked out for us to return again yet, but just the fact that Rose is so patient and willing to talk us through so much research even when a trip isn't booked, just shows her dedication to her clients. My only complaint is that Rose can't plan every trip in our life for us :) If you are debating on whether or not to go to Africa ... GO. If you are debating on whether or not to use Luxury Safari Company - trust me - they are the best - and this is coming from a very picky, skeptical New Yorker.

First class company for our safari adventure
After years of planning we have just returned from our first safari trip and we could not be happier. Karibu Safaris in Kenya took care of everything- despite the time difference Victor never took more than a couple of hours to reply to our many questions as we prepared ourselves to this journey. From the moment we landed to the moment we arrived safe and sound back at the airport our trip was simply outstanding. Not a single issue faced prior to, during or after our adventures in Nairobi and the Masai Mara. The highlight of our trip was definitely David, our guide and driver he is one of the best professionals I’ve ever met- a reliable, hard-working and committed individual . In addition to his impressive driving and animal tracking skills, level of excellence. Thanks to his well-trained eye and skills we managed to not only see the Big 5 in great style but also learn much more than what we could from books and websites. Our memories of a lifetime are simply unbelievable – from witnessing dozens of lions, elephants and cheetahs enjoying family life right next to us to the hard-to-find leopards and rhinos looking us right in the eye. We stayed at Mara Serena for three nights and I am already looking forward to returning. I highly recommend booking different kinds of activities through Karibu Safaris in Kenya.
