Great Customer Care!
I booked well in advance of my safari dates but on the day of it turned out I was being 'subcontracted' to another tour group. I was amazed at the constant contact Victor had with me and with the tour guide to ensure all my needs were met including a last minute change of National Parks! Victor ensured that my accommodations met all of my requirements and the cost was very reasonable compared to other companies. I would highly recommend Good Time Safari.
A fantastic safari experience
I got a fantastic safari at African Sermon Safaris. It has been once in a lifetime opportunity, seeing incredible animals and staying in such picturesque places. Traversing through the countryside was really fun, the tented camps were really nice and game drive safaris were the most amazing. It was so startling to be surrounded by elephants in the Amboseli with Kilimanjaro in full view and buffalo at the Mara. Great food, an incredible tour guide full of experience and interesting information. It has been such a wonderful trip. Thanks again for the excellent service.

I highly recommend Chigo Tours!
This company is on point. Diane is organized and has great communication skills. My friend and I did safari trekking with the tour guide Martin. He knows everything about Uganda and loves his job! I highly recommend Chigo Tours!

Brilliant guide, great experience - we never expected to see so much
We recently had a 7-day safari with Soul of Tanzania and it was a really great experience.
Our guide, Herman, was helpful, knowledgeable, and was obviously passionate about his work. He had an amazing talent for spotting animals, and we got to see some rare species that other guides missed.
Everything about the trip - food, accommodation, the vehicle - was of a high quality. The hot lunches were a great feature as well. Communications with the company were easy, and a representative came to meet us in Arusha.
I would definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania, and Herman, to anyone planning a safari in the region.

4 day Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara - an incredible experience!
I went on a 4 day safari in Kenya. I started from Nairobi, spent one day at Lake Nakuru before continuing to Maasai Mara and then back to Nairobi after two days there.
The team picked me up at the airport, helped me exchange money and get a SIM card.
Once I had all I needed Charles, my driver and guide, started our trip. Charles is a fantastic person: really nice, explained me a lot about the country, knew where to find and how to spot animals and to predict their movements so that I had an amazing view of them and he was happy to adjust our schedule to my preferences. He was able to turn the trip into a once in a lifetime experience!
Besides that, all the accommodations were great with amazing service and really good food.
The team of It Started in Africa responded to all mails within 24 hours and were great in setting up what I was looking for while taking specific wishes into consideration.
A huge thank you especially to Charles, my driver and guide, and also to the whole team of It Started in Africa!

Excellent safari & great guide at affordable price
The experience was great, we booked a 4day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru trip and we loved it. Robert offered for us to be picked up in Kisumu, something that no other company did. We paid a deposit in advance and the rest to the guide. Arony, the guide and driver, was great. He went the extra mile at all times to make sure we could see all the animals, he accepted all our requests to stop every ten seconds to take pictures, and he knew all sorts of things about the animals. I would definitely reccommend him and Karibu for any safari experience.

Really experienced leader and amazing adventure. He knows the secret spots where to find wildlife!
Dave knows a lot about wildlife and how to educate the tourist to enjoy the experience the maximum! It takes a very experienced leader to be able to live in the middle of the wild life and enjoy it. Food was great and every day was incredible! Super well equiped and organised.
Make sure you take a good camera, because you will spot the most amazing animals and even tiny beautiful birds you cant miss! I would definetly recommend Exclusive Wilderness Trails. You will get a way better price and feel exclusive!

Fantastic Safari
We enjoyed a fantastic and memorable 10-day safari with Tekko Tour. From our first email contact with Tekko Tours, we felt welcome and in excellent hands. Carol was instrumental in helping us plan our trip. She customized our itinerary to fit our needs, always answering our many inquiries and requests timely and with the most patient, professional and kind attitude.
We ended up visiting 6 national parks and managed to see the Big Five and many more beautiful animals. Our driver Jackson was amazing, always working to ensure that each game drive was filled with new animal sightings. One of our highlights was observing a Cheetah hunt. His seemingly endless efforts in showing us Kenya made this safari a great and successful tip. Jackson’s knowledge of the animals, local areas, history was never ending. He seemed to know just about everything and everybody in Kenya.
Thank you Tekko Tours, especially Carol and Jackson for a memorable trip. We highly recommend you.

Kruger Park Safari
Our safari experience exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Doug, was fantastic. He helped us set up activities that we would enjoy and woke us up in the morning to make sure we'd get to them on time. He was extremely knowledgeable about where, when, and how to look for animals while we were driving around the park. He even helped us find better accommodations in Johannesburg. He was friendly, courteous, and helpful in every way. Highly recommended!
Holiday of a lifetime.
I have just enjoyed a wonderful safari holiday with my family and have nothing but praise for the company and staff.
We had an excellent guide and driver in James. When he promised leopards and lions etc., he delivered. Nothing was too much trouble. If he heard us say elephant or giraffe we immediately drove to find them.
We stayed in the lovely Sopa Lodge where the staff again were so kind.They baked a cake for my son's birthday and danced round the whole dining room to deliver it to the delight of all the guests.
I would encourage everyone to consider them when booking a safari holiday. You made my dreams come true.
