Fantastic tailor made travel in Uganda
Intek Travel organised our tailor made family vacation travel in Uganda during ou Christmas get together 2017 vacations. The expectations of all five of us were met (aged from 18 to 55).The hotels and lodges were in beautiful settings, were very clean, comfortable, and service oriented. The food in Uganda is delicious ; nearly all restaurants served also very good indian vegeterian food. Ugandan people are overall very welcoming and merry. The safaris are breath taking. We visited Mburo, Bwindi, Queen Elisabeth and Murchisson Falls and also lake Bunyoni in 8 full days (it is a short time considering all we wanted to visit). But, we were able to visit so many parks, and without exhaustion thanks to the overall quality of the roads but mostly thanks to the good organisation of our travel by our Ugandan based travel agency , Intek Travel. The vehicule and driver provided from Intek travel were perfect for our travel. Wild life in Uganda is really wild and we saw many many wild animals in their natural habitat.
I highly recommend our travel agent Intek Travel and I highly recommend visiting Uganda for safaris and beautiful vacations.

Exceptional! From meeting at the airport, to the safari and the photos, everything was perfect!
Reflecting on our trip to Africa, many things come to mind, but by far the fondest memory was our time spent with Ash and Stefan during our four day guided photographic safari in Madikwe. Arriving at the beautiful lodge was only the start of the awesome things to come. We were blown away by the level of attention to detail and experience we were shown on this safari, both from Stefan as our guide and Ash as our photography expert. The organisation was superb, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Our sightings were phenomenal and we walked away with out of this world photographs that we never imagined being able to capture! We have and will continue to highly recommend any of their safaris.

One of the most unforgettable experiences!
The entire trip was incredible, and it's all because of the professionalism and knowledge of our guide, David. He truly is the best! He went above and beyond every day, enlightening us with his world of knowledge on every subject. We were 7 days in Tanzania and 7 days in Zanzibar, with the entire trip planned by Exclusive Wilderness Trails, and David made sure every day was unique and interesting. We felt safe throughout the entire trip, and really enjoyed spending our week with a guide who's fun, responsible, and genuinely in love with the work he does. We’ve done guided tours before, and Dave is by far the best guide we’ve had. Thanks for an unforgettable trip! I don’t write reviews often, but I highly recommend this trip with this company and Dave as your guide!

First class experience
I found the company first class. All my questions were answered quickly and sensibly. Megan, with whom I dealt throughout, was helpful and patient and responded to any questions or queries I had rapidly and efficiently.
The price paid was competitive.
All told everything happened as it should in an effortless fashion.
Full marks.

Incredible experience and yet good value for money.
This was among my favourite experiences in my life. We saw the big 5 and our own shortlist of nice 5.
Manyara was changed to Tarangire due to seasonal animal migration. We were not disappointed.
Two nights in a 2star hotel were included the night before and after the three day camping. The food is budget, as expected while the driver's professionality and dedication cannot be understated, especially he really knew his car which felt safe due A good camera is a must but don't underestimate the value of a really good binocular. Once you get tired of taking pictures it's great being able to spot actions and rare species from a far. Also bring extra snacks. The trips can be very long. 10-12 hours in the jeeps are standard every day. Some parts are dusty and a mouth balaclava was helpful for our co-travellers. My feedback for the driver is to be clearer with time and schedule. My feedback for the chef is to skip the desert dry carrot sandwiched... and maybe also the bony chickens.

Excellent Tanzania safari
Communication with Jackson Solomon by email to set up the safari trip was easy. He was prompt in his responses. He was also open to changes when I chose a few different hotels/safari camps.
Our guide and driver, Saidi, was with us for 9 days and drove us about Tanzania. He taught us many things about plants, trees, animals, culture. We went to Arusha National Park and did a walking safari. We also did game drives in Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We stopped at Oldupai gorge too. We stayed at Planet Lodge in Arusha, Tarangire Safari Lodge, Escarpment Luxury Lodge, Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp, and Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge.
Saidi was a safe driver, patient, funny and smart. He is multilingual and he referenced books or he referenced his phone if he did not know something that we asked about. He was also flexible with change of plans on a few days. When I got flu, he took me to doctors (even when he was summoned at 3:00 a.m. in the morning without a complaint).
At the end of the tour, Jackson took us into Arusha town for shopping and he even bought us some souvenir tee shirts! He drove us round trip to Kilimanjaro airport too.
We had a wonderful private trip with Bush 2 City Adventures. We saw many animals (cheetah, leopard, lions, zebra, elephants, wildebeest, serval, hyena, jackal, Buffalo, gazelles, antelopes, turtles, birds, mongoose, lizards, warthogs, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, etc.) The only animal we did not see was rhino, which was elusive in the crater. We had delicious food at the camps/hotels, excellent service, plentiful bottled water (with Bush 2 City labels on the bottles) each day while in the Toyota Land Cruiser, and we had fun. Thank you Saidi and Jackson!

The planing of the trip was great from the beginning until we returned home!
We had a 15 days trip in Kenya and we booked everything with African Paradise Safari - the hotels and accommodations, drivers, guide, etc. They took care of everything, from the moment we arrived - we had a guide with a car, started with visiting in Nairobi the Giraffe orphanage and baby elephants orphanage, and then started a 9 days safari in Masai Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, followed by 6 days in a resort in Mombasa. They managed to resolve all situations that occurred - for example the plane from Nairobi to Mombasa was canceled and they booked the first flight available, arranged a car to take us back to the hotel until the next flight. The guides were all very nice - we had 3 guides, one for Nairobi, one for Mombasa and one for the Safaris. They all spoke English, made us feel welcomed. For the safari the experience was so great, as the guide drove us so close to all animals, answered all our questions and made sure we were safe at all time. Our agent, John Peter answered all the time very prompt to all our questions, gave us advises prior to the arrival, texted and called very often during the trip to make sure we are enjoying.
We recommend African Paradise Safari, they respected all we have agreed before, made us feel very safe and welcomed in all the vacation, and helped us to discover Kenya. It is a beautiful country, a great experience with safari, visiting the Masai tribes, wild animals that you can see so close, beautiful beaches, snorkeling, dolphins, great weather, very very nice people, we have never met so warm people, opened to help you even without asking, we heard beautiful life stories and lived a unique experience. Go with the flow and immerse in the culture there, its beautiful.

Amazing experience !
We received all the necessary information from Adventour.
Our driver (Tom) who took us to Kruger and back to Johannesburg was very friendly and nice all the time, providing all the assistance we needed.
The lodge was OK, nice swiming pool and friendly staff, breakfast and dinner at the lodge was very tasty - I would only suggest a better breakfast bag (you to take with you to the Safari), bread was dry and practically no filling in it. The day safari at Kruger park was nice, we could see all the big-5 but the leopard (which was already expected), and apart from that many other animals living inside the area. I was an amazing experience, got a little concerned when learned that there was no gun in the vehicle, just in case a lion decides to jump in...
