great service
Eyes on Africa made tailor made safari for us (Serengeti & Ngorongoro) plus organize our Zanzibar vacation. Communication was very easy and quick - the trip was completely as we imagine it. Our safari guide was excellent and Zanzibar hotel choice was perfect.

They made my dream vacation come true
It has taken me longer than anticipated to write this review because I have been so busy going through tons of pictures and videos from this wonderful vacation. This trip wouldn't have been made possible if it weren't for the amazing Golden Rwanda tours staff. More specifically I would like to thank Frank who over the course of a year and a half assisted me in planning this dream vacation and promptly responded to all of the emails I sent him. Frank was always prompt in alerting me if arrangements were made and gave helpful advice regarding activities to do to maximize our trip. Due to unfortunate circumstances Frank was unable to accompany me and my wife on our trip that we had planned together for the past year and half. Frank graciously took me and my wife out to dinner upon our arrival to Rwanda, explained what was happening, noted nothing would change regarding our itinerary, and reported that 'Michael' would be with us for the entire trip. I was appreciative that Michael would be with us, but slightly nervous as I had planned this entire trip and had all my communications with Frank. My worries were quickly put at ease and I can say that Michael became like family with my wife and I. Michael was incredibly knowledgeable, a great driver, and just ultimately a great tour guide. He accompanied us for a week in Rwanda and a week in Kenya, making sure we were comfortable every step of the way. I would most certainly go through Golden Rwanda again and would recommend this company to anyone. Two short stories before I end this review: on our first gorilla trek my pants were falling down (you think I would be more prepared) and Michael gave me his belt for the trek to make sure I wasn't having to hold them up the entire time. On our second gorilla trek it became incredibly cold outside (you think I would have learned my lesson from the first day) so again Michael gave me his sweatshirt to wear on our hike up the hill. So I can say not only is Golden Rwanda the real deal, they will literally give you the shirt off their back. I can't recommend them enough and could go on and on with good things to say about them. If you are thinking about going through Golden Rwanda, do it! It is the best decision you could make.

Exceptional Safari, asante sana!
3 days in the reserve of Selous, the dream! The accommodation at the top (lodge), exceptional service, meals and service at the top. The safari will remain unforgettable, the animals were superb (just the lions who did not want to show themselves), fantastic! Thank you very much

Great Afrika self drive safari
Enjoyed the trip. Derek was great, car optimal, distances long to drive, but educational and inspiring. Selection of lodges great, food something new for us, but great. Especially enjoyed quads, Zambezi rafting, sunsets, game watching, river cruises...
If you go to Afrika, this is a fine combination of adventure not to touristic, but comfortable vacation.

Beautiful trip!
We had the best safari trip with our guide Mike. He was the best guide you can imagine. We did see a lot of animals and it was a beautiful experience! We went to Mikumi National Park. The banda's were great, the food was good and we had a beautiful view from our banda's. Everything was good arranged and everybody from Usambara Expeditions is so kind and sweet to us and they wanted to make sure we had a lovely time at the park, and we absolutely did!! We really recommend Usambara to everyone!
Thanks Alex for the good and nice service, Mike, thankyou so much for everything and Zacharia thank you also for everything you did for us!

makasa lived up to our expectations for our first ever visit to africa. selma has been very patient and helpful in answering our questions. when we got there, our guide Daniel has been very focused and drove us around to find all the animals we wanted to see. we saw a big river crossing which is spectacular after waiting for 1 day. the accommodation is also good.

Excellent service!!!!! I recomend 100%
Everything was ok. The hotels, the meals, we could see all the animals. But the best was our driver wide, Cris. If you go to Kenia to do a safari, ask for Cris, is the best.

Overall a great experience!

Friendly and flexible safari tour without any compromise in Kenya and Tanzania.
First time safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania, four of us really enjoy the trip. Everyone said Peter is a good guy, initially I feel everything is well organized. The two-weeks' safari trip including Aberdare, Mt. Kenya, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Amboseli in Kenya, as well as Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara in Tanzania. The Kenyan guide Leonard and Tanzanian guide William (from Gosheni) are professional and patient with very good eyesight. We were not only able to see different wild lives, but also have the chance to watch their behaviors of predating, mating, playing, etc. Although the black rhino is very hard to see in distance, we collected all big fives in this trip.
By the end of our trip, Peter shows up and presents very good hospitality, very nice to chat with and knowing each other between Kenya and Taiwan. We did experience good treatment by heart and nice faces from Kenya and Tanzania. With best wishes and respective to the both countries, who are willing to reserve such big lands for wild lives.
