A breathtaking experience, where wo got more than we ever could have wished for
We are a family of four (My parents, boyfriend and me) and we booked the tour online from Germany.
The booking process went smooth and easy and Norah from EasyTravel helped us every step along the way.
When we arrived at Arusha airport we got picked up by our personal guide Ombeni. From there we where taken straight to the EasyTravel office in Arusha where we got a very detailed briefing by two staff members of EasyTravel. They made sure that we felt comfortable and that there where no questions open on our side.
My Dad wasn't so good on foot at that time, so we were a bit concerned on how comfortable he would be during the safari. As it turned out it wasn't a problem at all. The small walking tour we did was arranged to be a little less demanding so that we all could enjoy it together and the rest of the safari was mostly done by car (a spacious Toyota with sunroof and coolbox!). From the office our guide took us to our first beautiful hotel (all the hotels we stayed in where quaint, with perfect service and friendly staff). The next day our long expected Safari (btw. Safari means journey in Suaheli) started. Our first destination was Lake Manyara National park, the home of the famous tree climbing lions. Our wonderful guide Ombeni did not only manage to show us all of the big five but kept us entertained on the long drives between Parks. We could ask him anything about everything. Not only did he know all there was to know about animals, but he also about Tanzanian history, politics and culture. He taught us some words in Suaheli and in return we thought him some german. When we left Serengeti National Park on day 3 we had already seen 4 of the big five and had a very close encounter with a cheetah on the back of our car. Ombeni always seemed to know exactly where to find certain animals. He was never satisfied until he had taken us at arm's length with lions, Buffalos, Giraffes and many more. Still we felt safe at every moment. This holiday my Family and I, surely will never forget!

3 days’ short trip to Masai Mara was really so great that paid me back in terms of full enjoyment.
It was a great pleasure to have safari in Masai Mara National Park. The camp, food and game drive services were very good and were really up to the mark. Peter managed all the services in time and there was very calculated and reasonable program for my 3 days’ trip.
Thank you Peter.

Excellent service and great value
We got a recommendation from a friend who had previously used Kathi at African Welcome Safaris, and I'm so glad we did! We had the best experience from beginning to end. Kathi was incredibly responsive and made sure we stuck to our budget. Then, when we decided we wanted to upgrade, she went back and provided even more options. She provided excellent options and included lodges that we hadn't heard of in our own basic research. We went back and forth until we found just the right lodge, then she magically planned everything else around it: airfare, transfers, payment with the lodge.
On the ground, everything ran so smoothly. Our flights were lovely and perfectly scheduled to ensure we would come in and leave at just the right times: to get there for lunch and the evening game drive on the first day then time to do the morning game drive and pack on our last day. Those were details I didn't think about, but Kathi did. Our ground transfers were on-time or early, so we were never worried about being late.
I would absolutely recommend using African Welcome Safaris -- and plan to use them again in the future!

Enjoyable and Pleasant
Advanatage Travel ensured that every aspect of my trip from the hotel to the safari was exactly what I wanted and more. Advantage Travel truely did an outstanding job for me.
I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a safari with an adventure.

Responsive and Reliable
We had such a good experience with the Safari Source in 2014, they were the first people we turned to when planning our next Zimbabwean holiday. Again, we were delighted with their service. The Safari Source is well-organised, helpful, and they find some of the best accommodation and deals. They really listen to what you are looking for in a holiday and match their suggestions to your preferences. They found a wonderful lodge in Hwange for us and provided us with useful suggestions and travel tips. We recommend them to all our friends and will definitely be booking through Safari Source again!

Don't hesitate anymore; Meru Slopes is your budget safari trip organizer!!!
Me and my husband attended a 4 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and it was way over our expectations! Our guide Omar found us all the "big five" animals and we loved every minute of our trip! The camping spot in Serengeti was simple but sufficient, and we heard hyenas during the night. Last night camping on the rim of Ngorongoro crater was amazing, with buffalos wandering around our tent :) Geoffery was SO helpful with everything from the very first moment when we contacted him informing us through emails and WhatsApp messages. A huge plus was also that transfer from and to the airport AND the night in the hotel before and after safari was included in the price! Thank you!!!

Wonderful safari in Kenya and Tanzania
This is my second time to ask Jocky Tours for tour arrangement and it was so nice.
We went to Masai Mara and Amboseli in Kenya, and Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania. Both of them were fantastic. Tranfer, accommodation and drivers hand over between Kenya and Tanzania were well arranged. Drivers' abilty and knowledge about wild aimals are great. We were very satisfied.

It was an awesome experience, made more enjoyable by my friend and driver Ben
Gorilla Bookings was very helpful and informative from beginning to end. I felt well looked aftermath in the booking process and in the actual experience of being in Uganda. Ben my driver and friend picked me up from the airport and looked after me from then to the end of my trip. I could not ask for more.
Thank you guys.

A great value safari in a stunning location.
Having been on many self drive safaris, we decided to treat ourselves to a guided Safari in Amboselli. I found the customer service excellent: very communicative, clear and friendly. The safari was also very good value for money as it was only marginally more expensive than a self drive.
Anthony, our guide, was brilliant: he found loads of game that we would have missed otherwise and knew how to maximize photo opportunities!
Overall I would thoroughly recommend both Alliance Safaris and Amboselli National Park.
