Wonderful
I had planned a one day tour of Wasini Island and Marine park by this tour operator. It was great. Everything was well arranged and on time. Mildred was very resourceful and she communicated often; before, during and for feedback after the tour. The understanding and responsiveness was really helpful. In my view, the service and the fun of the tour was beyond my initial expectetions. I am convinced to choose this tour operator again.

I was well taken care of and saw so many animals!
The 'add on' safari is very interesting. You never know how long you will be with the same group. I signed up for the 5 day safari. Days 1 & 2, I was with 6 very nice people. We stayed at an eco camp. Lots of fun (but don't expect a hot shower). Days 3 & 4 was spent with a very fun and diverse group. The hotel was economy...but it wasn't about the accommodations for me, although I loved the place I stayed on the last night. Day 5, I had a private driver! I felt like royalty. He stopped whenever I wanted, took many pictures for me and was very informative.
In all this was an amazing experience. The drivers were all great, taking us over some terrain that I would have a hard time walking/climbing over! They some how spotted animals that were totally camouflaged, easing up to them for breathtaking viewing. One day we saw 12 lion cubs rollicking around together on a large rock. After a while 3 lionesses strolled over and lay down or groomed a cub with no concern for us. I saw all the 'Big 5', even the very elusive Leopard, as well as many, many other animals. At Hells Gate Park there are no predators so I was able to get out of the vehicle and wander in the fields as zebras and giraffes (among others) grazed. What a feeling! Do this!!! You won't regret it.

Mussa really made our trip. I can't imagine having gone on safari with anyone else!
Mussa exceeded our expectations. His knowledge was over the top on the different regions and national parks we visited. The history behind different species of animals and their life styles was so fascinating to us. The information was effortless on his part. You can tell that he truly loves what he does and lives, eats, and breathes his homeland and animals. Additionally, he was so well mannered, polite, and protective of us. Safety was always his first concern. There are many dangerous situations you can find yourself in out in the wilderness of Africa. He will make sure you get the most out of your adventure while staying within the limits of safety. I have to admit that I cried when we left Mussa at the end of our trip. He's such a great, funny, good-hearted guy. We've remained pen-pals to this day. I could not recommend this tour group any more! The trip of a lifetime!

First class!! Amazingly friendly staff who are happy to help make a lifelong dream come true
I was recommended to contact Safari Club, Paul and Ellie. I gave them most probably the shortest time ever to organise a trip to help me fulfil a lifelong dream and wow...did they come through. They were so friendly and asked me lots of questions about what I want to experience rather than focusing on selling the most the expensive tour.
My solo trip took me to Kenya on a 3 day safari to Maasai Mara and 6 day beach holiday. I stayed at Little Governors Camp, all the staff there were ever so friendly going out of their way to make you feel comfortable and safe...this is an open camp and the animals walk through any time of day or night. You are effectively in their home and as long as you respect them they will respect you. I had lunch with warthogs, zebras, giraffes and many more animals just walking on by. I met an experienced safari traveller at the camp and we had a great guide who explained everything to us about the land, animal habits and how to get the best experience.
Going in October you do risk getting caught out in the rain, and that did happen one afternoon but it just meant the next day was a beautiful sunny day with the animals out in force and I was lucky enough to see the Big 5. I had 2 wonderful friends surprise me with a balloon safari trip - hot air balloon over the Mara at sunrise finishing with a champagne breakfast.
Travelling on my own I was a little apprehensive but all the staff from the lady meeting me off the plane, drivers taking me from airport to airport/ hotel, pilots, camp staff to hotel staff were super friendly, well organised and put me straight at ease.
I would 100% recommend, and have been since coming back, Safari Club as the company to help anyone organise a safari holiday. They have actually been on all the holiday packages they sell and can give you first hand experience of to what to expect.
Thank you again Paul and Ellie for making a life-long dream come true!!

Your perfect tour partner in Uganda
My husband and I had a wonderful fortnight in Uganda, thanks largely to the unwavering commitment and attention to detail that Love Uganda displayed at every turn. Our itinerary took us through most of southwestern Uganda including the Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park. Love Uganda organized both our transportation in a 4x4 as well as hotel bookings for our entire itinerary. Our driver/guide, Moses and our tour organizer, Israel did a sterling job of making us feel welcome in their beautiful country and ensuring that we wanted for nothing during our stay. Both of them went the extra mile to ensure that we got the most from our trip including refusing to give up on the more elusive sightings in the Ugandan wild. We were keen to travel with a local home grown operator, fully aware that the more prominent international companies were in any event relying on local talent to put their itineraries together. We were persuaded to opt for Love Uganda by the uniformly good reviews that previous travellers had given them. I am glad to say that they did not disappoint. Their network of local contacts ensured that every one of our experiences was smooth and seamless. I would heartily recommend them to anyone looking to explore this beautiful country.

Wonderful 3 day safari with Sunny Safaris
We had a 3 day trip with Sunny Safaris, going to Tarangire and staying at Simba tented lodge, then Ngorongoro and staying at Kilimamoja Lodge before a final day at lake Maynara. We were collected from our hotel in Arusha by our wonderful driver guide Pius, who has 19 years' experience as a safari guide, and he looked after our comfort and was a fount of knowledge about the wildlife and vegetation in the parks, and well as people and places we drove past on our way to the parks.
The accommodation was great, we really enjoyed the ambiance of Simba lodge, and Kilimamojo was very luxurious.
The food was excellent, including the picnic lunches.
Pius liaised with other drivers in the parks to find us the most exciting close encounters with the animals.
The safari was a wonderful experience and we think Sunny Safaris did an excellent job. Highly recommended to safari with this family company.

Traipsing through the desert of Namibia
All our emails were answered promptly before we departed; David constantly strived to update his messages and emails on his cell, wherever signal allowed it (showing us he tried his best to keep in constant contact with all queries and future travellers). Service was good, with the guide adhering to the itinerary. The Safari itself proceeded smoothly; the vehicle was reliable and clean and the guide's input to any and all questions was polite and informative. We were fortunate in being just the two of us, thus having personal attention. David's knowledge of the area, through which we travelled (Southern Namibia), was extensive, as it was his home Country. All meals were made via campfire or gas. David cooks enough to feed a small army, which led us to often jokingly monitoring his "portion control" and we did our best to eat 2nds, in order to "keep our strength up" (this became our own private joke, as he explained that cooking for only 3 people was almost impossible for him). His bobotie was exceptional, made with the aid of "Bridget's trivet"! His dexterity with regards to braa'ing and boiling goods on the gas braai brilliant. He packed and unpacked his bakkie with familiarity and ease. He kept up good humour, even when the harsh terrain got us a puncture. We were assisted by the friendliest farm owner, Hermien, who had the neatest, cleanest bathrooms at her campsite we had ever seen! She and her husband plugged and pumped up the back tyre in 10 minutes, so very professional and helpful. At every opportunity, David pointed out numerous sights and interesting facts about the terrain and upcoming towns. David is trustworthy, funny, informative and most of all, brilliant at what he does. We would book again with him in a heartbeat!
Book Days Safaris Adventures at your own risk.
...i booked the tour 24th Nov 2017 with Kshs 22,750 for 22nd to 25th Dec. 6 Days to the tour, i received an email to clear the balance. I insisted on getting to know about the quorum. 2 days to the trip, i was told there was no quorum. we asked for next available which she said it was full. we never went to the trip: very disappointing coz i had booked for more than a month and it should have been communicated on time about quorum.Our anticipated and planned safari was aborted without prior communications. From a previous Trip, the services are Terrible, communication is poor, Customer care is pathetic.
Up to now am still requesting for refunds which had not been facilitated.
Am still waiting for the refund: All i get are empty promises.
I believe if there was no Quorum, she should have communicated on time so that we can get refund and book from another company.
