Exemplary service and great time in Africa
We had plenty of time to go on a 3 day Safari to take this tour and see the wildlife. The Serengeti National Park is one of the outstanding national parks we visited which is quite expansive with abundant wildlife. We saw all of the animals up close including multiple lions, and buffalo, herds of zebra and giraffe, crocodile as well as hippos. Great value and photography on this three day safari.
We all had a great time going on this tour. Horace ,our guide, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable on where to find different animals, very kind and helpful in all of our needs.He picked us up right on agreed time,thank you Horace the tour was great and well organised by the company!!
We loved the way the African Savannah Trekkers took time to plan our travel while taking us through every process in a detailed manner. The fact that they were very sensitive in regards to Covid-19 protocols was an additional plus on their end. Our experience in Africa, being the first time was made easier and more interesting thanks to this tour operator!! Worth a five star from me.The airport transfer was done very professionally.Great reception too, from airport transfer to visiting the attractions, their website had everything true.
I would definitely recommend them anyday.

Great tour
We had a great experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. We did the budget safari and everything was perfectly arranged. We had great contact with Bartho before the safari, we could ask him anything and he was always quick to respond. Our guide Malissa was amazing and went out of his way to show us everything we asked to see and more. Our cook Doula made sure we had an amazing three course meal every night. Where other safaritours had standard lunch packages we always had a warm meal for lunch with the choice of different dishes. The lodges we stayed in were pretty basic but okay. The one in Serengeti was our favourite as it was in the middle of the park and giraffes would great us at breakfast. Overall it was definitely worth the money!

Outstanding experience with Ben and Ngoni Safaris
Sedrick was the one organized the tour… he was very clear about pricing, what was included, itinerary, etc. Ben Ndugwa was our tour guide for the entire 7-day adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide, companion, and new friend. A speaker of English, Luganda, and Swahili, he is a proud Ugandan who knows a lot about the country, the national parks, safaris, animals, and trekking. Unfortunately, he was not able to accompany us on the actual gorilla trek, due to the high cost of permits, but he has previously experienced it so we were able to share the experience. At all stops, he was able to tell us exactly what we needed to wear or bring, and what to expect to make the most of the experience. (We met other tour groups on the way and found that they weren’t always as informed or prepared as we were.) While Uganda is a generally safe country, Ben made us feel especially safe and comfortable along the way. We plan to return to Uganda and will definitely ask Ben to be our guide. Highly recommended experience with him and Ngoni Safaris.

Professional and Passionate about giving great service.
I just got back form a 4 night /5 day safari with Mufasa, from start to finish it was excellent, well-executed, communication superb, great value and a wonderful guide.
I originally booked solo and 4 days before my safari 2 others joined me, Joesph worked out all the details, secured the extra rooms, and kept in touch with me promptly about everything.
Once w arrived in Kenya , the next day we were met by our super guide Kevin! Words can't describe his passion for the birds and wildlife, he's smart, educated and easy going. we had a wonderful time and lots of laughs with him. Highly recommend him!!!
We saw more than I ever dreamed of, even a crossing of the Wildebeest during the migration. Exceptional !!!
Lodges and food were great and would not hesitate to book again. We are actually looking at the Serengeti with Mufasa in late November.
I was also very impressed that Joesph cane to see me the night after the tour to make sure everything was great and that we were happy customers. He truly wants to give a great experience.!! Book with them, you will not be disappointed.

BEYOND ALL EXPECTATIONS
We used African Welcome safaris for The Rwanda portion of our trip to Africa. From the moment Moses, our guide, picked us up at the airport until the evening he dropped us off several days later, he was nothing but outstanding. Everything was planned for and taken care of. Our stay at Serenna hotel in Rwanda was good. We went to Volcano National Park staying at Sabyino Silverback Lodge. The Lodge was more than we hoped for. First class in every way. The staff were remarkable.
Kathy, who pulled all this together for this part of our African trip did a phenomenal job.

One of the best experiences of our lifes
We are a portuguese couple who have decided to go to Tanzania for our honeymoon. We did a 4days 3 nights safari with Soul Of Tanzania company. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
All the experience was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide was Erasto Gnowi, he was just amazing, the best guide we could ever asked for. He is very very experienced, knew everything about wildlife. We felt really safe during all the times. ( Believe me, safety is not an issue you have to concern about. If you follow the rules given by your guide everything is going to be perfectly ok!!) Erasto provided us a great experience that we will never forget. It was magical! Also we had cooked meals everyday instead of sandwichs and snacks that other companies offer. Red wine was so good too!
And finally… We saw the big five!! So incredible. 2 leopards, 1 rhino, lots of buffalos elephants and lions.
Thank you Soul of Tanzania and Erasto, next Safari in Africa will be with you again!
Keep up with the excellent work

A+ Hikking company and experience
Our experience with Great Lake Expedition was amazing! Surpassed our highest expectations.
The whole crew was unbelievable. The porters all worked so hard, our chef Fideli made some of our favourite meals on the trip (and this is compared to luxury safari lodges), our server Kimambo was incredibly kind/efficient/hard working and our driver Ezekieli was really personable, we had some great chats with him.
And of course, our guides both went out of their way to make sure we completed the summit trek. Emanuel was with me when i got altitude sickness on the mountain and pushed me to keep going. I could not have done it without him. Both he and Baraka were very knowledgeable about the mountain, made sure we paced ourselves properly and were so fun to talk to and be around.
Before we departed for the hike the team took the time to go through the equipment check list to make sure everything we brought was up to par. We got the standing tent and portable washroom which made the hike a little more luxurious than it would have been otherwise. The tent itself and all he equipment we rented was in great shape and/or brand new.
We will absolutely recommend Great Lake Expedition to any one we know looking to climb Kili.
I've done a lot of organized portered hikes and i'm so happy to say this was by far the best experience i've ever had.
