Well organised and nice schedule for the different parks
We did an 6 day safari, it was well organised with the tents and transportation. Communication with the manager was easy as well because I had an Tanzania simcard so we could call.
Only minor was that we had to pay in cash which was a bit difficult because we were already in Tanzania when we received that information.

Excellent service from start to end - a worry free adventure!
We booked the "3D Last Minute Luxury Safari Travel" with PaperJet Travel and stayed in Madikwe Hills for 3 nights in March 2017. We took a while to decide on PaperJet Travel as they were a relatively new company and had lesser reviews compared to other tour operators. However, Justin impressed us with his prompt responses to our many email queries and the personal touch he adds. It felt like chatting with an old friend!
The trip itself lived up to our high expectations and the safari experience at Madikwe Hills was the highlight of our honeymoon. We were particularly impressed when Justin rang us during the trip to check that everything was going smoothly. This made us feel that we were really taken care of.
Overall, we would highly recommend PaperJet Travel! Thank you Justin for making our trip such a memorable one.

Ol Pejeta & Sweetwaters Tented Camp Visit
Aslan Adventure Tours sent us on a lovely trip! We had a comfortable van with a fun driver that taught us so much about Kenya. He did his best to make sure we saw every animal we wanted to on our game drives (we did see all of the Big 5). Sweetwaters Camp couldn't have been better - we enjoyed watching rhino, giraffe and elephants all drinking from the waterhole in front of the camp while the sun went down on Mt.Kenya. It was an adventure of a lifetime and we will certainly be using Aslan Travel in the future! Thank you!!!

Good Safari for a very reasonable price
It was a very nice safari, our driver was quite experienced and did everything to make our experience unique. The food was also very nice. I think its hard to get a budget safari for a cheaper price. Although the price is pretty low I missed nothing and can only recommend this operator!

Simply 100%
This is my second trip with EOA Safaris. They organised my Honeymoon in 2011 and now I had a short Safari arranged by Mr. Omar to have a rest from my busy work schedule.
I had a very fantastic time at Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Parks. Next during this Easter season... Maji Moto Eco Camp.
I will get you nice place. Cheers

Fantastic experience for Serengeti dream trip
It's a daunting task choosing a tour operator from all the options out there. We eventually chose E-Trip because they had both US and Africa offices, were very organized with the itinerary options, and were very transparent with all the costs. This allowed us to easily customize our trip, mix-and-match options, and still stay within budget. They did not try to push anything on us and listened to all of our requests.
I must've asked a million questions but they were patient and answered every one of them. A lot of my questions were related to DSLR photography gear and equipment. Ben was able to answer all these questions and offered lend me some of his equipment (i.e. tripod, bean bags, etc.). I was able to reduce the weight and size of my luggage bag.
They use the standard pop-top vehicles seen throughout the Serengeti. Their vehicles are equipped with charging ports so we were able to keep our devices charged at all times. Not all camps/lodges had easy charging stations so this was a big plus for us. The vehicle also has wifi so we were able to stay in contact with friends/family back home.
We got lucky and saw all of the Big 5 by our 3rd day. However, even if we didn't see them all, I wouldn't hold it against E-Trip. Keep in mind that nature is unpredictable and you can't guarantee an animal sighting.
On our last day, Ben and Aurelie invited us into their home to freshen up before our scheduled 28-hr flight home. When we got to the airport, we found out FastJet had cancelled our flight to DAR, and we would miss our connecting flights home. The airport agents and phone agents weren't helpful and would not rebook us on a new flight home. Luckily, I was able to reach Ben and he came through for us. He rebooked us on a new flight, got our airline fees waived, and even arranged a last-minute hotel and airport transfer for us in Dar es Salaam. Although our tour with E-Trip was technically over, Ben continued to work for us and made sure we got on a flight home. No thanks to FastJet!
There weren't as many reviews for E-Trip as some other more popular operators, but we really liked their transparency and communication. Obviously, we're completely happy with our decision to book with them. Our next trip to Africa will be with E-Trip again.

My Avocet Safari was truly a great deal.
I booked through Mohji.com and the Safari was through Avocet. I've been all over the world with many tour companies and Avocet was one of the best I've experienced. The owner Jeff is very personable and professional. He went out of his way to help with any questions I had. He even bought me a beer after the safari was over and dropped me and another client off at a local restaurant for dinner in Arusha. What more could I ask for? The safari itself was truly great. I highly recommend going to the Serengeti/Ngorongoro. You will never forget it! Avocet included transport to and from the airport, and a nice clean basic hotel room before and after the safari. Go for it!

Excellent Experience beyond expectation!!!
Our Safari with Kenan Travel was absolutely perfect from the first contact through email until the last day on our way to the Airport that they had arrange a transfer for us even though our Safari ended and we stay many more days in Kenya. We Visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and a Maasai Village (experience not to be missed). I don't need to talk about the beauty of the landscapes. Our Drivers were very professional and especially Martin did everything to make sure we have the best time ! On our Safari we were always the first to go around the animals and very close to them. Jane made us feel like home and secure, she is a very sweet and caring person with a great sense of hospitality! After 6 days of an amazing experience even though we were tired, we said that we would do the same all over again! We Highly recommend Kenan Travel & Tours for a budget Safari that we chose it was way more luxurious than we expected ... Thank you Kenan Team for the unforgettable moments !!
