Very good price, organization and tour
It was an amazing and wonderful safari for me.
1. They picked me up free at the airport to the hotel (my own booking) one day before the tour, so you do not need to worry the transportation. And they even dropped you in the hotel on the last day of the trip, then they would like to take you to the airport the next day.
2. The budget price was maybe the lowest I can get among most travel agencies. But the quality was good as well! Some days lived in the camp site, and several days in the hotel (in both cases, breakfast, lunch and dinner included).
3. We saw many kinds of wild animals, the driver (James) will stop if we come across them. We had enough time to see and take photos.
4. The only thing need to improve is that it is too dusty there! If we could drive behind the frontier car further (not follow closely), we will sniff less dust and more healthy.
Anyway, I personally recommend African Scenery Holidays. Good price, staffs, and beautiful nature.

Botswana Wild Side
We had an absolutely amazing camping safari in Botswana with Sunway Safaris. It was extremely well organised and run very smoothly. Our main guide, Petros, was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wild life and enabled us to have some interactions with wild elephants that were amazing. I felt safe and looked after all the way along. The time in the okavanga delta with the locals there was really special. I was very glad that we had Jame with his superb driving skills on these difficult roads. Food prepared by Petros and Dineo was delicious and I was very surprised about what you can cook on a campfire! The wildlife was wonderful - it's easier to list what we didn't see (a cheetah) than what we sae - we even saw a pack of wild dogs! We returned with many many magic memories. Thanks!

Outstanding
We’ve been in Kenya for a 4-day safari with Spirit of Kenya agency. I do recommend them. Everything happened as planned, no surprises. The guide was great, the communication before the trip was perfect. I also recommend staying at Kichwa Tented Camp and taking the Land Cruiser option.

Most amazing 7 Days safari.
We just finished a 7 days safari having visited the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The Serengeti migration will always be in our memories although we missed the river crossing.
It was amazing to see the wildlife in close range in their natural habitat. Our guide Robinson was very good at spotting them. He was careful to give the animals enough space so they were comfortable to carry on naturally. Very professional and responsible.
The accommodations were a mix of tented camps and lodges and very comfortable and tasty food throughout.
I would recommend them to anyone looking for safari.
Thank you Leadwood and Robinson.

2 day weekend river safari and rino tracking
We had a great time on our safari. We appreciate the flexibility of being able to accomodate last minute booking and adjustments to our schedule. Our guide was also very helpful, respectful, and fun. We saw way more animals than we expected. Would easily recommend to anyone.

Amazing trip! Beautiful Country
My wife and I just returned from a 12 day tour in Uganda with Crystal Safaris. The mid range lodges exceeded our expectations. Our guide was very good, although his english needed some work. The vehicle we had was a few years old, and experienced a major mechanical issue (not surprising given the state of the roads!!). However, a replacement vehicle was delivered later that evening, so the breakdown had very little impact on our trip.
We booked the Chimp Habituation experience, thinking we would spend more time with the chimps -- this was not the case, and we had to alter our itinerary as we booked a chimp tracking the following day which was much better for people having never seen Chimps!!
We stayed at 2 Crystal Safari lodges, and Crater Safari Lodge was beautiful, Gorilla Safari lodge was nice!
We went on a day-hike on the kilomanjaro.
The emails were answered quickly, they responded to our requests and everything was very well organized.

Consummate safari experience, great guide!
Went on an 8-day tour in Tanzania in February 2018 billed by GECtravel (which I booked the tour through) as "African Safari: Luxury Serengeti Safari and Cultural Group Tour" and it delivered that and so much more. Highlights were Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti (2-nights), Ngorongoro Crater Park, a visit to a local school and a morning hunting and visiting with a nomadic Bush tribe. Our guide Fadhili was a godsend; from the pickup at Kilimanjaro Airport (with ice cold water at the ready) to every detail of every day, Fadhili was on top of it all. He had easy dispostion and was singularly focused on our satisfaction and comfort. Moreover, when it came to navigating the different parks to locate and get close to the wildlife, Fadhili possessed great knowledge- so much so that more often than not other guides were following us. Also on my tour was H2Olady58 (review June 21)- check out her photos (she had the better camera!). Our accommodations were 4+ and 5 star and the tent camp in the Serengeti exceeded my expectations with a toilet and shower and full bed in my tent and full-service dinners and a breakfast buffet that included an omelette station! I could go on and on- please feel free to message me through Migada if you have any questions. I highly recommend Migada Adventures and Fadhili without reservation!

Professional and experienced Safari operator
We had our 9-days trip with African Adventure Specialists. It's a wonderful experience. It's rather a customized trip with a lot of details need to be discussed. Andrew was very responsive and helped to settle a great trip plan. Conversions are very efficient in planning stage. Also, we had a issue with one of the lodge we chosen in the middle of the trip, Andrew was very prompt in helping us out. A very helpful and reliable operator. The driver is also critical determining the trip experience. Our guy is Francis, a wonderful guide and driver. Everyday we go out for game drive, we know that we have full trust on him. He has clear mind where the animals are. He is too familiar with every corner in the savanna. And we were surprised he remembers and easily locates places among those numerous small routes on the Masai Mara grassland. One day we were the first to spot about a dozen lions. The crowd then gathered after Francis told his friends the location. I have recommended this company to my friends, and will go with them again next time when I travel to Kenya. Thanks to Andrew, Martin and Francis!
