Could have been better
We booked a 4-day safari in Amboseli and Tsavo with the company. The initial booking of the trip was a bit tedious with us having to call them a few times since we were not getting responses to emails, they explained this was due to an overload of bookings.
They failed to inform us that one of the safari camps they suggested, Kibo Safari Camp, (which we chose from the list of options they provided) didn't have electricity for most of the day, which would have been nice to know in advance. And there was a small mess up on our return airport transfer.
Also, since we were first time visitors to Kenya, it would have been great to have some expert advice from them on the various options for safari locations, hotels, food, etc.
However, the rest of the trip and the other hotels were great. The driver-cum guide they provided, Steve, was a very nice guy with a wealth of information about everything around us.

Wonderful guide, great with children
Communication before the safari was good. We made some adjustments to the itinerary and it was all successful. We had a slight issue with cash payment, as we paid in USD (as is common in Tanzania), and the administrator wasn't able to provide correct change. I would recommend to bring exact change!
We had a wonderful 4 days in Rufiji area, with Afra as our guide. We stayed in Rufiji River Camp which was excellent. Afra was patient, very knowledgeable about plants and animals, and his country. He also had obvious pride in his Land Cruiser, and always made sure it was clean, and well supplied with drinking water. We really do think we had a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and immediately recommended the same company and driver to our friends upon our return home, who booked straight away!

Fantastic Kenya Safari in 10 Days
Amazing is the word to describe our safari . We were 8 friends and after so much deliberation on what company to travel with ,we settled for Bison Safaris as they gave the most conclusive answers to our many questions .
We engaged with Maggie regarding the booking and at the end of it all w e had a super itinerary
Our driver Patrick gave it his best and we saw many many animals .
Though we stayed in budget accommodation we enjoyed the service of everything and very friendly staff,
This was indeed a good decision to chose Bison Safaris .
We will be back ;

It was definitely one of the greatest experience of our lives!
Kiliholidays is a great safari agency! they have been reliable and honest. The car was exactly how I expected, spacious and with the "lifting-roof", and the tour was organized only for the two of us. One of the best experiences of my life so far! The guide was really helpful and competent, it has been really easy to establish a good relationship with him. Everything went without any problem and we enjoyed the wildlife and landscape of this wonderful place. After the safari we also met the operator manager, Mack: a really good man! We would definitely repeat the safari sooner or later!

A great guide to Tanzania
This was my second trip with Tanzania Destination Safaris, and I totally enjoyed both! Emmanuel has arranged everything in an effective and comfortable manner, and managed to meet all requirements we've set. He's also provided us with a good guide and team for Kilimanjaro and for safari. I recommend him to anyone dreaming of visiting this amazing country!

Efficient reliable service
Our South African Safari went very smoothly - our thanks to the attentive, diligent service of Kathi Simon from African Welcome Safaris.
Everything was handled professionally and cordially from our first enquiries until arriving back
to our hotel in Johannesburg. All went so smoothly - flights and accommodation - and the information which was emailed to us with our tickets was relevant and significant. The aftermath of a cyclonic rain depression resulted in our party being accommodated at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge instead of Sabi Sabi Selati lodge. Kathi kept us constantly updated with regard to flights in and out of the reserve and the subsequent unavoidable alteration to our accommodation.
Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge was fantastic. The suites were impressive - the food and service very good - and the game drives and daily activities well organized. We got to see many animals up close and personal. A truly exciting and extraordinary experience.

Thoughtful arrangement with super professional Guide
We have found Blue Safari at the last minute prior to the trip. They are very competitive in the quotation, compared to the other agencies. In the meantime, they are super helpful and willing to help us solve the Visa issues. in our country the visa officer requires a lot of formalities and strict information to be provided by the agency and Blue Crane staff, Derek Jacobs, is so kind and supportive to provide anything we need for the visa.
And the Cost is much lower than all the other agencies!
The trip proves that we have made the best choice ever! the schedule is very reasonable, allowing us to see many spots as much as possible. The accommodations are very nice as well, cozy and comfortable. and our guide, Raymond, is very experienced and professional, has a lot of knowledge. He has been cooking, driving and guiding for us all the time. Thanks to him we have a very pleasant trip.
Blue crane is very professional and i sincerely wish you guys develop better in the coming years!

Thanks for everything
We had a wonderful trip with Herman from Safarihub and visit Tanzania. Herman is a perfect driver and guide. He know very much about the wildlife and was great in spotting them. Very patiënt when we found some wildlife, no hurry and turned off the engine of the car to enjoy the animals. We learn a lot from him about the wildlife in Tanzania. With his Bird "bible" he show us the birds we have seen.
If you are a photographer like me, Herman interact with you to get the best shots. The car was clean and after a day in the dust, Herman cleaned it and we get a clean car for the next day.
Thanks to Safarihub we had a safari we'll never forget.
