Great experience from start to finish!
Eyes on Safari was lovely to deal with from the moment we emailed with an inquiry. We only had three days to work with, including travel, and they were still more than happy to design a safari itinerary that fit our schedule. Our guide had 30 years of experience and it truly showed during our trip. Despite our short time, we saw almost every animal possible in the Masai Mara! We also loved the place they put us up at--Basecamp Masai Mara (Obama stayed there in 2006). And they did all of this on a budget! One tip--make sure you book a land cruiser as your vehicle. We did and as a result, we could go many more places than the vans could (which can't travel across river bottoms so you are limited).

It was really awsome.
The communication was perfect, our guide, Adrian, speaks very good English, and also his assistant, Lucky. It was amazing to have our breakfast, lunch and diner prepared for them every day. The meals were really delicious. Adrian is a very responsable and kind person, xcellent driver, who knows everything about the park and was able to explain us about all the new experience we were having about that enviroment, the animals and wild life during our safari time. We had an unforgettable and wonderful time. Everyone shoud have the opportunity to know this part of Africa.

A fantastic trip with a fantastic team
We did a safari with Lesaga Adventure in february 2007. The team who welcomed us was amazing, really. Before leaving, we spoke with Sylvie by e-mail and phone. She gave us some very nice advice and she knows what she is speaking about. Once arrived, a man named Gasper, who was very nice as well, welcomed us. Edgar, our guide was very professional. Everyone was able to speak French without any problem! I found the price quite cheap for the quality it was, I searched a long time to be sure it was the best choice. Thanks to all of these people, we got some fantastic memories; I'm absolutely not disappointed by the quality of this safari. I recommend it at 200%

The trip of a lifetime
When my sister and I decided to make our African dream a reality, we emailed a handful of safari operators. Although Hazina Afrika was one of the more expensive quotes we decided to go with them. We communicated directly with Lisa who was always prompt in replying. She seemed to know exactly what we wanted from the very beginning. Everything was handled for us. Nothing was left out. Our quote was accurate and all inclusive. Even when there was a glitch during the trip, Hazina made sure that the trip continued seamlessly.
Our guide, Msami, was great. He was very good at spotting from afar and knowing the behaviors of the animals. The wonderful pictures I took home were because of him.
I would highly recommend Hazina Africa for your "trip of a lifetime"!

"An unforgettable trip to Tanzania thanks to Ker & Downey”
Although being used to organising our travels on our own, for this trip to Tanzania we decided to engage Ker & Downey as we wanted everything to be perfect. From the beginning we felt in excellent hands with Rory. He worked everything together making us quickly an exciting proposal fit in with our budget. Until the moment we actually started the trip, he answered always immediately and had an immense patience with all our tiny questions.
The team of Ker & Downey managed to not only fulfil our very high expectations but even exceeded them. We had a fantastic experience, wonderful in every way: all the camps, their staff, the food, the car and its equipment, the parks, the nature, the animals, even the weather with only some short refreshing rains, really everything was perfect. Ker & Downey organised everything with no problem, booking some wonderful accommodations and allowing us to fully enjoy our trip.
Our guide David understood immediately our desire to be away from the crowds and with his kindness and calm, his great respect for nature and its wildlife, he made our journey an unique and amazing experience. He made it possible that most of the time we really were on our own, having the feeling that we were in Paradise on Earth with only animals around us. His enormous knowledge about all kind of animals and their habitat has enriched the experience even more.
We thank all those involved for setting up such an awesome trip and recommend Ker & Downey without any doubt!

Thank you for a flawless safari!
Beacon Safaris was excellent to work with from start to finish. Communication was quick and efficient. We had to make some changes in plans while we were in Kenya regarding pick-up. Thank you, Robert, for suggesting you send a driver to Kakamega to pick us up. The additional cost was reasonable and Josh actually found us in our somewhat rural and remote Kakamega home! Our Masai Mara experience was fabulous. We loved Ilkeliani Camp and were most happy with our guide and driver, Josh. We saw four of the big five! We had seen rhino the previous week at Ol Pejeta, so we weren't disappointed in not seeing one at Masai Mara. I would highly recommend Beacon Safaris.

Helpful, careful and great fun.
We employed This company to take care of us last time we were in Uganda.i have to say that Ronald, our driver, enhanced our trip more than you would ever think. He is an exceptionally energetic and reliable young man. From the beginning he took care of us, meeting us from the airport and doing whatever we wanted, except what he thought was unsafe. The young man knows his way around the system. He is fully aware of what is interesting, fascinating and exciting but equally what is dangerous. The prices are reasonable and the company is totally reliable. I recommend it highly

Couldn't-be-better safari tour operator
African Scenic Safaris gave us an incredible safari experience. We spent 6 days in the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Tarangire. African Scenic Safaris seemed much better priced than their competitors. Amanda was very responsive to all our enquiries. Our tour guide was Rasheed and found so many animals for us! And Goodluck, our cook, made delicious meals every time. All in all, the safari couldn't have been better.

Great stays, great safari, great planning
Over the new year 2015/2016 our family had the pleasure to visit Ngorongoro and Serengeti with Fanaka Tours. We had a lifetime experience with lots of animals, great places to stay and good service level from Fanaka. We can recommend this agency a lot.

Open Africa Safaris trip to Serengeti was simply the best guided wildlife adventure tour I have been
Tony Milinga was our driver and guide for the entire 7 day Sergenti trip. He was excellent ! His communications, his service were outstanding. He took care of us very well. He made sure our stay and trip was most comfortable and we had vegetarian food throughout the trip. He showed us the best game, saw all the animals, some in action and got to see all the big five. He was patient, friendly and provided great customer service. He made our trip memorable. John William, the sales manager gave us all the info to get ready for the trip. Accommodations were excellent and service was great ! My family and I recommend Open Africa Safaris to all who want to see the great Serengeti park because it is a once in a life time experience to see so many animals in 1 park.
