Organization
They were very nice in preparing the trip. They made a program according to my wishes
On arrival I had everything prepared, nothing was forgotten, a good service
I loved visiting Namibia, although traveling alone, had some fear, but everything went according to planned.

Great Experience in South Africa
Visiting South Africa was a great experience. We really enjoyed our Safari, Cape Town and the Stellenbosch region.
The hotels we have stayed are all great. Good location, good people and good food. Also, the tours and transfers worked fine just as panned.
I'm sure the travel would't be the same without Travel For Life help.

Great service, accomodation and experience
Tanzania has a very good standard in their safaris and this was of course no exception. Mack has been an amazing host. He helped us from the very first minute we arrived in Arusha. He drove us to the hotel, explained us how the trips is going to be and helped us with the planning for the future transportations in the country. The car was good, in good conditions, comfortable. The accommodation was good, clean and we had a great entertainment in the evening in the camping place. Tarangeri was a great park, we could see big 4 in one afternoon and then Ngorongoro Crater is something that no one should miss. The lunch was ok with a little dessert.. We had Lorenzo as our guide, he maybe needs to explain a little bit more what we see in front but we were safe with him all the time. The planning was as scheduled, on time and we were lucky with the weather that we could see and experience amazing things. I do recommend Kiliholidays Tours and of course Mack as a great host!

Incredible experience
I would like give them a 5 in the rating but there was a few things that may be better. I start to thank Robert from Karibu that helped us the first night staying at his home and breakfast only 4 hours between the arriving and the start of the journey. We had a guide Maxwell. He was great and wanted us to see everything and very close to the animals. He drove us in the safe way people drive in Kenya. He explained us which animals we had in front and stopped every time we asked him. With patience we could see a lot of animals and in the first row of the show!!! During the journey our schedule was changed and we pointed out that it was not really what we had in the beginning. They tried to give us the best service however it was too much trip for us getting back from the border to Naivasha and back to the border. I do appreciate their help but if you go through the planning again with the company is the best advice I can give, checking the hotels that were agreed on the beginning and if there is any chance let you know. I do recommend Karibu and Maxwell. They can make your trip interesting in a beautiful country as Kenya.

Excellent one stop shop for Safari and African Tours
We worked with Kerry Ririe a tour consultant at Pembury Tours. She was excellent. When I first contacted her I did not know much about the southern part of Africa. I told her my family wanted to see the animals on a safari and we also wanted to tour South Africa. She was very good at offering suggestions, and listening and responding to our needs. Over time (four to six weeks) our itinerary was set and our accommodations identified. Kerry handled all of the details. This included hotel and tour in Johannesburg, trip to Victoria Falls, 3 different safari camps, Franschhoek accommodations and tours, Cape Town accommodations and tours, and the Rovos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria. The accommodations were excellent, the tour guides knowledgeable and punctual. All of our communications regarding our trip were done via email. Kerry is able to provide all of the detail you need both through written documents and based on her personal knowledge of the accommodations and the camps. Among the many highlights of our trip, we were able to meet Kerry in person in Maun between flights from a safari camp to Cape Town. It was great to be able to thank her in person for everything she arranged for us during our 3 plus weeks in Africa.

A Dream Trip
Everything was expertly run. We did not have to worry about any of the arrangements as everything went according to plan. All the charter flights were exactly on time, when a flight was scheduled for 9:10 a dot in the sky would appear at 09:00 and land exactly on time! Every staff was professional and helpful. We enjoyed every different place we stayed in. The accommodations were excellent, comfortable and clean. I had dietary challenges and had no trouble getting the food I needed. The guides were all very friendly, helpful and made sure safety was a top priority and yet got us where we needed to be to get the best pictures possible. I have many Good memories and would not change a thing! I definitely would recommend this travel service to anyone wanting and excellent carefree holiday adventure.

100% Great
My husband and I did nine day trip around Kenya which included a little biking and hiking and a lot of safari. Our guide, Silas, was amazing; constantly communicating with other guides to find us the best experiences.
We were able to watch all of the big animals we hoped to see. For most of the various animals we were able to see adults and babies and see them often. The only big animal we only saw one time was a leopard; I felt very satisfied seeing the one leopard because that cat had caught and treed an antelope, wedging the horns and head in the 'V' of a branch.
The accommodations we stayed at were very good. The food was also very good with a significant amount of Indian and Asian influence. The hosts and chefs were willing to accommodate my husband's food preferences.
Our Guide, Silas, was a huge part of making our trip so wonderful. His knowledge of animals, birds, plants, customs, and history, made our adventure so much more meaningful and helped us connect to the country and people. I loved the adventure and the animals, but my favorite things was how Silas brought it all together and made me love the people.
My husband and I exchanged information with a school girl (and her family) who we met as we traveled. The school girl hopes to attend a university in the future, and I hope to be able to support her in that goal. This was not part of our "planned adventure" but it was a personalize highlight made possible because Silas knew of my personal interests.
I am sure Silas and E-Trip Africa will be able to meet any requests you make towards personalizing your adventure. They worked hard to get us what we wanted and made suggestions and answered our questions when we were making our plans.
On a side note, my husband had tried to work with another company that does the same type of tours. After communicating with the other company one time, they did not answer any of our questions: email or phone calls.

The most incredible trip we've EVER been on!!
I was so incredibly fortunate to find Kay Adventure Tours on safaribookings.com and let me tell you, our trip to Africa was one of the best we’ve ever had! We went on a trip to Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda and everything single transfer, driver, transition was so incredibly smooth. We even saw the Big 5 all in one day! And the gorilla trekking was absolutely amazing! Moureen was an absolute pleasure to work with and she always made sure to keep in contact with us periodically during our trip so we never felt like we didn’t know the plan. We can’t thank you enough, Kay Adventure Tours for making our dream honeymoon a reality!

The trip of a lifetime!
We just returned from the 10 Day Epic Gorilla & Wildlife Safari and it was just wonderful. Uganda had all the activities we wished for and Home To Africa Tours & Travel had an affordable itinerary that did not disappoint. Elias and Paul met us at the airport and made sure we were looked after and comfortable for the entire trip. Paul is an excellent and knowledgeable guide and very good at spotting animals. We saw the big five animals and so many more and enjoyed multiple game drives and boat rides. Each of the five national parks we visited had their own atmosphere and attributes and we loved them all. This itinerary required many hours of road travel but there was so much to see while riding through the countryside. It was endlessly interesting to see the trading centers, homes, people, and especially the friendly children of Uganda. We particularly enjoyed the game drives and were amazed at all the animal sightings. Our lodgings were comfortable with good food and we did not have to worry about a thing as Paul is an experienced guide and led us along on a trip we will never forget. Home To Africa Tours arranged the next leg of our trip to Victoria Falls which was a sight to see and those plans all fell into place without a hitch. My mind is still so full from all the things I learned on this trip and I have over 300 photos to enjoy. If you want to go on an African Safari complete with a chimpanzee and gorilla trek, go to Uganda. If you want a tour that caters to your interests and comforts and is affordable, choose Home To Africa Tours and Travel. We had an excellent experience!
