Two-week wonderful trip in Kenya
Contacting with several operators for this safari, the price Aardwolf offered was not the best one (with the same level hotels/lodges/tents). I selected this operator because the communication was efficient and Esther provided me some useful information such as transportation. However, I was a little disappointed on the selection of the accommodation except those we requested, as some of them were unknown and few people visited. For example, the Soi Lodge near the Lake Baringo was selected for us, which is far away from both our destinations of Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria. The only reason is of high profit I guess. But you know, the most important thing to do safari is not the money but the guide/driver. We should thank Aardwolf to give us a great driver, Mr. John Kabuga. We were so lucky to have John with us, who is professional, experienced and qualified. He was born in Kenya but has blue eyes, which makes him special and gives him a good vision like Masai people. He is good at finding animals and told us a lot of stories about Kenya. In a conclusion, this trip was not executed in perfect detail but what we experienced makes it unforgettable on both good and bad points. A good driver will leave you a better memory.
All aspects of our dealings with Martz Safaris were good. We found them friendly and helpful.
My brother and I were on a self drive trip through Rwanda and up into Uganda. Unexpectedly, we had to hand back our Rwandan vehicle at the border. At late notice, Martz Safaris drove down from Kampala to meet us at the border with another vehicle. We were then able to continue our trip through Uganda. For the next eight days the vehicle performed well and gave us no cause for concern. Without their prompt service and help, our trip through Uganda could well have been a very different story

Simply perfect - southern Tanzania
We visited many countries in Africa and were in northern Tanzania 13 years ago. This safari was simply great and so it was obvious to us to explore southern Tanzania as well, followed by a few days on Zanzibar.
The planning of this tour with Roho Ya Chui was highly professional and always a pleasure, as a lot of experience and valuable information from Ute Sonnenberg have designed our safari perfectly.
The southern circuit of Tanzania was beautiful and perfectly organized by Roho Ya Chui – it doesn’t get any better, summa cum laude! If you want to see the South: Dar es Salaam is not an African gem but still worth a glance. From Dar SAL (Safari Air Link) flies with Cessna 208 to Mikumi, Ruaha and Selous.
All three parks are absolutely worth seeing but different, you stay comfortable in best furnished Lodges of Fox Group. Ruaha, however, was our surprise: an extraordinary national park, quite different from many others, which we have already visited. Many elephants, hippos, impalas, lions... all in front of grandiose scenery. We will certainly return to this amazing place. If you are looking for a small and quiet top hotel on Zanzibar – we recommend to ask Ute Sonnenberg also.
Our next trips to Africa we will plan with Roho Ya Chui again! Thanks again and see you soon.

I've wanted to go to South Africa since I was 12.
Planning our Southern Africa trip with Darren was so much fun. He answered my millions of questions quickly. He even answered some of them multiple times and answered the dumb ones like they weren't dumb. I'd wanted to go to South Africa for 53 years and this trip did not disappoint. The guides and drivers that assisted us along the way were efficient and knowledgeable. They were fun to have join our travel group. We were always met cheerfully on time at the airport or our hotel. In Cape Town, we were able to adjust our schedules to watch whales, drive through neighborhoods and spend extra time in places we loved. Our guide, Garth, was amazing. The accommodations selected were perfect. We especially enjoyed Tintagel and Senalala. Both were beautiful and had wonderful staffs. The Garden Lodge went out of its way to be helpful. We even got a special pitcher of ice tea when we mentioned we'd been missing it. The guides on our safaris at Senalala(guide Darren)and Garden Lodge(guide Tefo)made us feel like we'd just had the best safari they'd ever conducted. We saw the Big Five, had beautiful camera shots set up for us, learned so much and had so, so much fun. If you're planning a trip to Southern Africa, use Compass Odyssey they are magnificent and worth every penny. We've home a week and have looked at my pictures every morning. Truly it was the trip of a lifetime.

A wonderful Ugandan experience
Thank you gorilla tours for organising such a fantastic Ugandan holiday. Safe to say it was a holiday of a lifetime. Great accommodation all reasonably priced; a safe, knowledgeable driver and of course the beauty of Uganda. Seeing the Chimps and Gorillas is something everyone should do once and use Gorilla Tours if you can.
