An unforgettable experience
We did the 4-day safari through the national parks of Tanzania, it was an unforgettable experience because of the good treatment we received from the guides. Daniel the driver took us to the best places in each park and you could see the long experience he had, Freddy treated us very well throughout the trip and we quickly had a good relationship with both of them and there was a very good atmosphere together. I definitely recommend this safari because of the professionalism of the team and the good treatment we received from the first moment we contacted Humphrey. We saw the best animals in Africa from very close and we also ate very good food.

Stole our money- did not pay for anything
Do not book with this company. They robbed my family of 4 of our money and did not provide any services on our itinerary or signed (by both parties) contract. A trip we planned and paid for in February 2022 became a nightmare. Fortune asked for all money paid for in advance to pay deposits on rooms to hold them for us. He never paid any of the places: Moremi Crossing, Chobe Safari Lodge,Hwange Safari Lodge, or Pioneer Lodge. We had to pay for everything out of pocket. In our itinerary food, activities, and guide service was to be included but nothing was arranged or paid for. Once we arrived in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe where he lives and operates Forsche Travels, we went directly to the police and tourism authority. We also contacted the U.S. Embassy. We attended pre-trial with Fortune on charges of Theft of trust of personal property. He is currently awaiting sentencing. If you booked with this company, contact your credit card company ASAP. Be prepared to pay for everything out of pocket and document & save all receipts. I’m so sorry for anyone who has already booked with Fortune. I know the emotional roller coaster you are about to face!

The Perfect Companion to Our Honeymoon Trip!
We booked our honeymoon through Ongeri Expeditions. Everything was perfect! We had a great experience at the Majlis Resort at Lamu Archipelago. Our Tour Guides Martin and Abner provided us with friendly service all the time. Our service of lodging was all very luxurious, professional, and safe. We did not have a single worry. They followed up with us throughout our honeymoon to make sure we were happy with all arrangements. We cannot wait to visit again.

Beware- Fortune is a criminal
We booked with Fortune from Forche Travels in Zimbabwe back in February 2022. We paid him over $11,000 for an 11 night/12 day safari to Botswana and Zimbabwe. He sweet talked us up through the very end. When we arrived in Boswana, no one was there to greet us at the Maun airport because Fortune did not pay for our luxury camping excursion to the salt pans; therefore we were unable to go. Then we learned he did not pay Kwando Safaris. Upon arriving at our next destination that we had to pay out of pocket, Fortune showed up at Chobe Safari Lodge and told us our next location was cancelled due to all his mistakes and dishonesty so he “upgraded” us to the Elephant Eye in Hwange. At this time he was assuring us everything would be okay. Obviously a week in without Fortune paying for anything promised in our itinerary and contract, we then called to see if he indeed booked the Elephant Eye, which we learned that we had the booking but no payment. At that point we parted ways with Fortune and continued paying for everything out of pocket, documenting everything, including a recording of Fortune and names/numbers of all witnesses (general managers). It is disheartening and cruel that he took advantage of a family with young children. A police report was made and the tourist authority and the U.S. Embassy notified. Fortune was arrested on charges of Theft of trust of personal property. As I write this, he is due in criminal court for sentencing. We do not want anyone else to get robbed with their money or their once in a lifetime trip to Africa.

Simple and affordable
Lovely experience in Amboseli and Maasai Mara.Almost the same when it comes to animals but I enjoyed Amboseli more.For a low budget that we had,I was lucky for the package offered by Kenamoti.

The tour operator new all the aspects of Uganda, whatever we were asking he was there for us.
I and my wife booked a seven days' trip to Uganda with Wanderlust. We were so much interested in tracking the mountain gorillas and the chimps as they were top on our bucket list.
Upon receiving our inquiry, Nathan took us through the process from the booking time to when we met our guide Mark who picked us from the airport. There was always prompt response to our emails and the choice of accommodation they made for us was beyond what we expected.
We will not forget the experience of seeing the gorillas, it was really amazing. Thanks to the whole team at Wanderlust for organizing for us a wonderful vacation. Lastly, Kudos to our guide Mark, he was the best and hope we shall one day meet again for another experience.

Mt Kenya experience
I love mountain climbing. I took lots of preparation for this kenyan experience. Lots of consultations done , Online research. We came across Kenamoti tours online and they were our first contact tour company .
The team lead by Amos was detailed on our preparations on what we will be expecting for the mountain climbing. All the requirements logistics accommodations were explained to us prior.
The weather wasn’t hot but rather chill very calm and nice vegetation.
The support and dedication received from Kenamoti tour was exceptional.
I hope to come back soon again

Amazing staff
We have a great time with this Safari Agency. They are very professional. They take care of you as a mother would do. We have been extremely happy. Philip , the driver makes the best for us too see the animals and you will feel absolutely safe with him. Bernard is the teacher that you need when you're in the middle of the savanna. He takes care of you in all the details. George , the chef, cooks meals as you were in a good restaurant of Nairobi, even though you are in the middle of nowhere. And finally Mimo, who is the smile of Kenya, and will make you feel at home.
What's more for a very good price. We will choose this agency again in
If we travel again to Kenya. Thanks guys for everything.

Everything worked perfectly
Edison, the chief, is a steady and smart person. He accorded every our details and changing while stating the vacation assets. The same i can say of our guide Herbert and the lovely driver Mohammad, both ravailable and reliable people, always ready to fulfill every need we had. I strongly recommend to travel with Bamboo and discover Ugandan wonder through them.
