African Sermon Safaris went above and beyond expectations and made every minute spectacular!
From the offset, Daniel and Albert (our amazing tour guide) made our safari experience amazing! Albert made a conscious effort from the beginning to find out what we wanted from the experience and went above and beyond to achieve that for us thereafter. He was friendly, enthusiastic and anything that he didnt know about the Masai Mara wasnt worth knowing (he knew it all!). He ensured that we seen 4 out of the BIG FIVE and all of the other amazing animals that we wanted to see. The lodge that they organised for us to stay in was also spectacular with zebras and babboons feeding right outside our lodge door and monkeys rehydrating from our pool that boasted amazing views of the mara plains. In addition to all of this, Daniel helped my now Fiancè to organise a hot air balloon ride followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush where he would make the most amazing proposal!
Cannot thank African Sermon Safaris for allowing our dreams to come true. Such an amazing trip that will never be forgotten!

Great trip through south-west of Uganda
Begin april we had a wonderfull safari of 6 day's through the south west of Uganda. We visited Lake Mburo NP, Queen Elizabeth NP and Bwindi Impenetrable NP. Xavier for Wild Trails Safaris did a great job planning the whole trip. He selected beautiful accommodations in which we had the real safari experience. Also the permits for the parks and the gorilla safari were arranged bij Xavier. Al of this contributed to a carefree trip. Everything was organized so the only thing we had to do was enjoy the marvelous environment.
In his 4x4 van we could come everywhere, so we did see many animals. Xaviers knowledge of the nature and his animals (especially the birds) was great. He is very happy to tell about this. So we learn a lot. Furthermore, Xavier is a very nice person to travel with.
So if you are planning to have a safari trip in Uganda, I recommend you to get in to touch with Wild Trains Safari. Xavier will arrange a beautiful experience!

Thanks for the Great Experience to Lake Nakuru
I'm not really very fond of travelling, but I just have to say; the trip to Lake Nakuru, (Kenya) was an amazing experience. Thanks in part to Samuel, my "Tour Guide", whose English made life much easier during the trip

Helped a dream become a reality.
Working with e-Trip Africa could not have been easier. From the quick response to our first email until the last goodbye, everything was seamless. I was stunned when after several emails, Ben Jennings asked to set a time to call me to better help plan our safari. Ben was kind, patient, and informative as he listened to and answered my unending questions. His response to emails was timely. If he was busy and unable to respond completely, Ben would sometimes send it quick note informing me of when I should expect to hear from him. He wanted to know our expectations.
I was never pushed to alter our budget. Yes, we spent more than the original budget, but this was due to our desire to meet our expectations. Well into the planning of our trip, we decided to add the hot-air balloon ride. At Ben's suggestion, we added returning to Arusha from the northern Serengeti by plane and we were so happy to have listened to him.
Ben took the time to be at the airport with our driver/guide upon our arrival. He demonstrated a true desire to make everything flawless.
We we're fortunate to spend our 10 days with the fun, smart, kind, witty, eagle-eyed David. It would be impossible to have a better guide. David was a patient teacher. As he learned were interested in all the birds, animals, trees, and flowers... David always took the time to explain and point out everything. He would turn off the engine of our land rover to explain the behavior of an animal and tell us why he wanted us to sit and wait. He never drove away without asking if we were ready and had finished taking the pictures we had wanted. His wealth of knowledge was amazing. He wanted us to know about the country and the culture of the people, enhancing our trip in every way.
There was one poor experience to our trip... the moment when we had to say goodbye to David, our teacher and friend.

An effortless trip of a lifetime
The communication was so easy. We were supplied with so many options for our budget and suggestions for when it would be worth splurging if we could. We decided to splurge for Ngala Tented Camp for our Safari experience and it was everything we could have ever imagined and more. We were so happy with every single detail. Milandi even helped us book dinner reservations and everything was truly great. The honeymoon that was supposed to be a trip of a lifetime is now just merely dubbed our first trip to Africa. We will definitely use Cedarberg Africa again!
Australian experiences Tanzanian Wildlife
Makasa did a fantastic job for us, two older ladies embarking on an adventure to see the animals. Our driver was courteous, observant and very very safe. We were blown away by the number of animals he was able to point out for us when we couldn't see beyond the camouflage! The only animal we werent able to find was the rhino, but other wonderful experiences were worth the 30 hour plane trip to see. And the birds... colour and all shapes and sizes we could not have imagined out of a book. Thank you, Ali and Makasa.

This was a once in a life time experience that unfolded before my eyes meeting all my expectations.
Very professionally booked, scheduled and performed meeting all of my expectations and more. I highly recommend Simba Africa Expeditions and I look forward to more adventures with them in the future. Rain or shine the safari was prepared for what Mother Nature through at us being well prepared at every turn. The scheduling of the days events was perfect in keeping me busy physically and mentally at every moment with a mix of fun, adventure, learning and most important relaxation at just the right time - it was a wonderful once in a life time experience from the moment I woke, through the day and once my head hit the pillow that I hope everyone will be able to take advantage of while visiting Africa. Thanks goes out to the entire team at Simba Africa Expeditions.

Machame Route up Kilimanjaro
Can't say enough good things about Herman and his team. Herman was very responsive and flexible throughout the booking process. Once we landed in Tanzania, everything was taken care for us. We had a team of 14 lead two of us up Kilimanjaro on a 6 day climb and they could not have been more helpful and friendly. The work ethic of everyone on the staff from our guides to the cook to our waiter to the gentlemen who carried our bags was inspiring. Ezekiel and Andrew were great guides- right off the bat they were able to identify our skill level and planned our days accordingly. Most importantly, they got us to the top right at sunrise with relative ease.
The hike was unbelievably memorable- a good challenge but not overly strenuous and scenic the whole time. The price was unbelievably affordable as well. I highly recommend Tanzania Climbing Outfitters.

Personal, flexible and friendly to ensure all needs are met.
Philemon came to our hotel at Arusha Giraffe Lodge to help us organize a taste of NE Tanzania within our limited budget. Philemon was flexible and informative when discussing our options. He treated us to some local culture during our stay as well which was above and beyond. Charles was our guide for Arusha National Park and a more passionate man would be hard to find. His knowledge and pride in Tanzania was astounding making you feel honoured to be there. Efficient, hospitable and professional people make Aardvark Expeditions the company to make your time in Tanzania a once in a lifetime experience.
