We were fully ossupied, a friendly driver an very beautiful chalets.
5/5

Before we started, we were in contact with land & lakes and all our Questions were friendly answered. Whem we started we had brillant Safari trips and saw all animals we could! The lodges were comfortable, very nice and the Victoria Falls were just "wow". We got excellent food and were driven arround by Henry Gundula. The best driver you can wish and a very friendly Person wit a lot of Knowledge About all things we wanted to know.

unforgetable
5/5

I am german- sorry for my english .-) Our crew consisted of Charlis, excellent and reliable driver and guide, Abdullah, most sympathetic and skilled chef, and Mgure, best and warmest and most polite waiter ever! we were picked up at Isebania, frontier kenya-tanzania, by Charlis. very nice welcome, very clean and well maintained landcruiser. We were taken to Seronera public campsite (washrooms disgusting), after 4 nights went to Ngorongoro and at least our safari ended in Arusha, Mount Meru Game Lodge (highly recomendable!!!)
What can I say?
our Trip was just fantastic, every second an experience we will never forget. Besides the impressing landscapes and the animals (We saw big 5, due to skilled eagle-eyed Charlis) ,
game drives provided by Charlis were always breath-taking, best Abdallah created wonderful meals, always a pleasure, my son was mostly amazed :-))), me ,too. Our sweet Mgure with his warm attitude and his nice smile made us feel ssssssooooooo very comfortable and is an excellent waiter! After our time spent together we felt very, very sad to leave this excellent crew. Hopefully they liked us as well as we liked them, we will always keep "big white bird", Abdullah and Mgure in our memory, they made or safari in East Africa unforgetable.
we went to Sansibar to recover from the exhausting and dusty safari, which was a good idea, we were booked for one of the best hotels in Sansibar, The Breezes. Splendid. Wonderful. Awesome.
BUT: WE MISSED THE WARM AND FRIENDLY AND CLOSE relation to OUR crew. We dont need live music for dinner, neither beeing seated on pink decorated chairs, neither guests that DO NOT GREET, nor buffet.
We would ALWAYS prefer to be with our crew. ASANTE SANA. Always in my mind. hakuna matata.
best regards, please forward this reviewe´ to them, thank you.

We we overwhelmed when Abdallah and Mgure showed of, presenting a cake and candles, performing a very special and personal version of Jambojambo for us. That was at our last night in Ngorongoro.

Rose is the fairy Godmother with the magic wand to the most incredible safari holiday.
5/5

We decided at pretty late notice to go on safari to celebrate some special milestones in our family and Rose, incredibly, efficiently pulled it together. We have been on quite a few safaris, but even then, this was amazing. Well planned, each camp different & a series of fabulous adventures catered to us. Truly magical, truly special.

Amazing experiences!
4/5

My boyfriend and I tok the 5 days safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, and it was amazing. We arrived day before and there was somebody to pick us up from the hotel the day safari started, then they drive us to the office (a very small room inside some building), since we were earlier than the office worker (it was closed) we had to pay for the trip in the car, what was very weird for me, and i was just praying that it was the wright person i was giving money to, but they had the receipt with my deposit transfer. It went well and when the office lady came we could wait for the bus inside the building with two other clients.
The driver, Sammy, was kind to tell us some informations about places we went to and animals we saw but since sometimes we were sitting on the back of the bus, and there was a lot of noise we couldn't hear everything, such a pity.
Sammy did everything he could to give us the best experience during the whole trip, even when the car broke down he organized an additional activity for the whole group of 7 people, that we did not pay for.
Leaving in tents in Mitimingi Eco Camp was not exactly as i expected but it was enough for two nights of sleep, food was ok and it was almost warm water after some time. We enjoyed the budget tent accommodation. The next two nights were in regular hostel and guest house with good housing standards.
Since people in our group had ordered different tours we had to split on the 4th day and me and my boyfriend stayed alone the last day with our new driver Joseph where we went to Hells gate national park where we rent bikes, were climbing and hiking. It was very relaxing day.
After tour we were transferred to our hotel.

Expeience with Discover Afrika met our expectations.
5/5

We were very satisfied with the level of service and communication with Discover Africa.
They were very helpful when we were trying to build up our itinerary and find an appropriate accommodation. Information pack send before the trip was very comprehensive and included all information we required.

One of the best times in my live
5/5

Nicholas (the guy we spoke to before the trip / with him we made the booking) was sooo helpful, always responded quickly and has so much patience with our 5 changes :)
We had just an amazing trip, everything went perfect! Also William our guide was excellent, furthermore he had a very good knowledge about africa (the animals, the culture, the plants and so on), he could give us always an answer of every question we had. We really liked the lodges, they were very authentic.
All of our group would recommend Africa Tours Adventure again.
Thank you very much for this amazing experience through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National park, The Mountain Gorillas, Queen Elizabeth national park, the boat trip and the most amazing lodge --> Mweya lodge <3
And the price of our trip was absolutely fair.

Wonderful introduction to the beauty of Uganda
5/5

I booked the gorilla safari to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda for August 15 to 17. Justus, a wonderful salesperson (!), suggested adding on two days in Queen Elizabeth Park before. Communication was extremely well done. Arrangements were efficient and courteous. I met Justus briefly on the morning of August 13 just to finalize arrangements and then headed off across Uganda with Moses and his assistant Alan. I had a wonderful time with them. They were invariably eager to explain everything I asked about Uganda, nature, culture, language, their families and lives and anything else.

They went out of their way at every turn to make the trip memorable and exciting. I loved every aspect of it. The greatest highlight is of course spending an incredible hour with a family of gorillas. The trek is extremely well organized and the rainforest very beautiful. Another highlight was the amount of wildlife on the Kazinga Channel. That boat ride is well worthwhile.

I really enjoyed the company of Moses and Alan. They are charming, caring and extremely hardworking. Congratulations to all.

A very advisable agency
5/5

We have just returned 3 families, 5 adults and 7 teenagers, and I look back and it seems like a dream. Mr. Otieno is a good professional: the hotels have been wonderful and the drivers have been, in general, very nice. We have seen many parks and finishing in Zanzibar was a great idea.
Of course not everything has been perfect .. but a 16-day trip, in which two countries are visited (with their respective borders) has its setbacks. The agency has responded very well. The quality / price ratio seemed to us the highest of all we are looking for.
If you are reading this review, I advise you to spend more than two nights in each park even if you visit less ... Tarangire and the two Tsavo are dispensable. Nakuro, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Amboseli are essential, although the natives advise to visit the private reserves because there is less massification of cars inside the park.

Excellent service from "the Safari Source", well chosen and varied accommodations and above all nice
5/5

We had a successful tour of Zimbabwe, excellently organized by the nice and professional ladies at the "Safari Source". They could not have done a better job.
We met friendly people in Zimbabwe, had excellent accommodations with varied food and loved the wildlife in the National Parks.
It was a ride without any negative events, apart from the annoying border crossings. We have always felt comfortable.
So Rosemary and Monika thank you very much!

We asked for a 'holiday of a lifetime' we got it and so much more.
5/5

From the very first telephone conversation with Rob Morley at Tailormade Africa he understood who we were and what we wanted. We were tourists but did not want a tourist holiday. We wanted to see the 'real africa' and meet and get to know its people. Rob's understanding and personal touch ensured we did this. With his expert knowledge and attention to detail our trip was flawless. From the trek and spine tingling encounter with the mountain gorillas in Uganda through the awesome spectacle that is the Masai Mara to the beauty of the Manta Resort on Pemba Island where it shows what can be done to enhance this world and not destroy it. The lodges and resorts Rob chose were small, intimate and just perfect and the local people we met were fantastic. Their warmth, lust for life and smiles are infectious.
We now consider Rob a friend and have no hesitation in recommending Rob and Tailormade Africa to friends and family.
And yes we really do think we saw the 'real africa'
