Fantastic experience
My partner and I recently went on a 4-day, 3-night safari with Bison Safaris. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and I believe the reason for this was our guide, Alex. He went above and beyond to make the safari a positive experience for everyone. He was flexible with the safari schedule in order to facilitate members of the group in travelling onwards. This included providing additional time in the Masai Mara park on one evening. He also tried his best to locate as many animals as possible and we saw all of the Big Five. Alex was really knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He also accommodated all of our requests.
The safari was really well organised - we were picked up from our hotel on starting and dropped us to the train station at the end as we were continuing to Mombasa. Bison Safaris booked our train tickets in advance which was really helpful for us.
The accommodation was basic but clean and absolutely fine for our safari. We had two nights staying in tents in a camp. There were hot showers available and electricity ran until 10pm from a generator. Because we were up so early each morning this was actually fine. We stayed in a motel in Nakuru which was lovely - again it was clean, had hot showers, really nice. The only slight downside was the food on the safari as there wasn't much variety. The packed lunches were probably the best part.
I would definitely recommend Bison Safaris for anyone considering going to Kenya for safari.

Great!
I reached Axis Africa Safaris looking for a viable option for a budget traveller like me and was not disappointed. They perform as promised, will pick you up from your accomodation and then drop you off after the safari is finished. Meals are included and all very good. Accommodation is in one good and comfortable camp. Best of all was the safari of course. Our guide, Alex, was wonderful and we were able to see all big five. Go ahead and book confidently!

Great safari company for a great country
When we started to plan our trip to Tanzania we compared lots of safari companies trying to find out the company which offers the best safari. At least we decided to book our trip with Safari Multiways, because of the good reviews and also the good price for the nationalparks we wanted to see.
We have not regretted the decision.
We payed 200 Dollar in advance and the rest at the office the day before the beginning of the safari.
At the first day Moses, our guide, came to our hotel in Arusha and picked us up for the first Safari in the Arusha National Park.
We felt welcome for the first moment and already on the way to the Arusha national park we started to get to know Tanzania in a way that would be never possible if you travelled on your own.
Moses, our guide, did not leave any opportunity to bring his home country closer to us , explaning us the things we saw on the way, like the massai and their culture. He never got tired to answer our questions, even though we had a a lot.
Our safari tour started with the Arusha National Park from where we headed to the Fanaka Safari Campsite. From there we did our safaris to the Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara. Afterwards we drove to the Ngorongoro Crater where we slept at the Simba campsite and headed then to the Sergenti and the north Sergenti. At least we drove back to Arusha with a stop at the Natron lake.
Moses always tried his best to spot the animals for us and was very successful.
We saw more animals than we had expected and had great experiences, for example more than fifteen elephants, also small ones, bathing in a water hole in the Tarangire national park, a rhino in the crater and groups of lions at the serengeti.
Moses always had the knowledge about the animals and tried his best to make us able to know the names of all the animals.
We had a private tour which was very nice cause we were allowed to let Moses stop the car where we want and as long as we want.
Moses always spooked to us in the evening about the timetable for tomorrow and we were allowed to discuss with him about the timetable.
The other part of our guide team was Doggo, our cook. He was really great. Before our trip we never thought that it would be possible to cook as many and as different food with these limited facilities. Every day Doggo surprised us with delicious food we could never eat up cause he always cooked that much that it would be enough for a whole soccer team.

Fantastic 5-day-safari in Tanzania
This tour is perfect to enjoy the amazing wildlife of Tanzania's famous north.
Tarangire and Lake Manyara are really cool and we were lucky enough to spot a lot of big cats - like lions and cheetahs.
Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater are truly spectacular and a dream for every wildlife lover. The landscape is outstanding. The wide plains of the Serengeti are really majestic and to spot wildlife in the crater of a volcano must be unique on this planet.
The last day of our trip we completed the Big 5 since we spotted a rhino in the Ngorongoro crater.
All lodges were great, but glamping in the Serengeti was a once-in-a-lifetime-experience. The food was really nice - breakfast and dinner in the lodges and a packed lunch at the picknick sites in the national parks.
Our guide Adam was very nice and attentive. He answered to any question, we asked him and taught us a lot about the animals, plants and landscape of Tanzania.
This tour is really suitable for everyone, who loves game driving.
The transfers from one park to the next are really manageable and the roads are mainly in good condition.
We booked this tour online via www.shemejisafari.com and this was a good experience. They are really professional and every details was perfectly organized.
We recommend them without restrictions.

Great tour, excellent guide
We were booked on the 4 day Kruger Park and Panorama Route and had a really great time from start to finish. Our guide Liese was fantastic, we learned a lot about both the nature and animals as well as about South Africa in general. Thanks again, Liese, for the amazing trip!

Great experiences und impressions of Uganda with the highlight visiting the gorillas.
First of all we would like to thank our guide Moses for the friendly assistance during our week in Uganda.
It was a pleasure meeting you. Nevertheless don't forget to be always in time :-).
The accomodations are all absolutely perfect for that that trip. The wunderful nature especially in QE Bush Lodge and
Arcadia Lodge Bunyonyi will be always in our mind. Also the support of all staff in the hotels were very impressive.
The safari tour itself (Ishasha and QE Nationalpark) was nice but not comparable with Tansania where we spent a holiday four years due to the amount of different animals.
Nevertheless we will keep the green Uganda always in our mind due to many great experiences, also outside the "normal" tour.
The most amazing experience was Bwindi Nationalpark with the gorilla family and also chimapnzee trekking in Kibale Forest National Park.
Thanks for giving us the chance to collect so many great impressions.

Good Company
I am a photographer, and Davis and our guide, Alex, made certain we saw every animal possible. I have some health issues, and both were so kind and patient with my limitations. The sheer volume of birds and other wildlife to photograph was beyond my wildest expectations. I highly recommend!

Adventure Safaris and especially our guide Robert created a terrific experience in Uganda for us
Our guide Robert was really the highlight of our tour through Uganda. He took perfectly care of us, always friendly and with great patience. All our accomodations were inspected by him first and if something was not perfect he took care immediately. On the afternoon Safaris he always found the perfect place for our Sundowner. We recommended Robert to friends of us visiting Uganda in November.
What was not so good: our permit for the Gorillas requested a 2 hour drive from our lodge early in the morning, means we had to leave at 6h and wihtout breakfast. Nobody told us before - in this case we would have choosen another lodge or choosen another timing for our travel. But again Robert made the best out of it - he made tee for us an organized breakfast boxes.
