My trip to Africa with Grassrootz was organized, awesome and adventurous!
I have only good things to say about Grassrootz. We sent Sander an ambitious itinerary(which we changed several times) and he made recommendations and chose all of our accommodations. Our guide, David, met us at on our first day. He was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He was with us for the next 10 days throughout Southern Uganda and Rwanda. Our accommodations were located in beautiful settings and in every location we were provided with excellent customer service. All of our safaris and trekking experiences were organized in advance and exceeded our expectations. I would use Grassrootz again and recommend them to anyone traveling in the area.

Honeymoon with the Gorillas
Our driver picked us up at our lodging in Kampala on time. He was very courteous and informative for our drive to Rwanda. He checked us into our lodging in Rwanda (excellent hotel!). He returned early the next morning and took us to the Park. We met with our Park Guides, joined our small group and went trekking for Gorillas. Great tour and we were able to spend extra time with our new Gorilla Family. An experience of a lifetime and not to be missed. We highly recommend Devine African Safaris!
An outstanding tour of Southwest Uganda
The whole booking process from the outset was friendly, relaxed and helpful. All the accommodation was of a high standard. You can tailor-make changes to the itinerary or accommodation (we did for a few nights but the places offered by Gorilla Tours were really good). Gorilla trekking was the highlight but there is so much else too - chimps and plenty of elephants, warthogs, hippos. And so many birds. Even if you don't know anything about birds it is really worth bringing good binoculars (we brought rubbish ones - mistake) and a decent bird book. You will be amazed and may go home an expert.
Our guide/driver/ornithologist was Charles. He was the nicest guy and always calm, courteous and kind. He drove carefully and always pulled over if he needed to use his phone. And he knew everything about birds and could spot them with his bare eyes even when we struggled with binoculars. I think we were very lucky as everyone we encountered seemed to know and respect him. And a lot of the drivers with other tours were simply that - drivers. My only regret is that we (Charles that is) spotted a really rare bird but it simply did not come out clearly on camera.
Unforgettable trip and terrific guide. We will be back!

Breathtaking!
The service was outstanding. From the time that I booked until the time I left. I felt like family. the level of service to meeting me at the airport and taking me to the hotel, and to ensure as a single traveler I always felt secure and never felt I was never unsafe.

Reliable, friendly and client-centered service
My family and I had a wonderful experiemce visiting the Masai Mara for 2 days tour, organized by Kennedy Sagwe of Doyen Safaris. Kennedy was very helpful right from the first start when I made an inquiry all the way from Solomon Islands. He kept advising both by email, phone calls and WhatsApp to ensure I received the required info on time to inform my decision. Kennedy organized comfortable accommodations and great meals as part of the package, and I must say my wife and kids had a great time.
I intend to visit Kenya again in Dec 2017 or Jan 2018, and I shall confidently rely on Kennedy's advice to plan the activities of this second trip with my family.
Kennedy was entirely trustworthy with money and we got exactly what we paid for. He was humble and respectful to us during our entire engagement with him.

Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater
We had two amazing days to Tarangire National park and Ngorongoro crater. The booking process was very easy and Emma was very kind to us replying all our doubts by email in a reasonable time. The tour was very well organized and we don't have any complain. Our guide during these days, Adam, was fantastic and very patient. Everybody could feel the passion and intellect in him for his work. Also, we appreciated the great food of the chef and his company during the dinner.
We would definitely recommend Shemeji Safari &Tours.

Amazing!!!!
My wife and I recently did a 9 day ( 8 night ) safari with Wild Planet, and it was amazing.. Adriaan, our tour guides knowledge was second to none.. He answered all of our questions, about anything and everything.. And was a very good cook.. He's a very likeable guy! Benji was his assistant and he's got a lot of potential..
We loved every minute of it and would highly recommend Wild Planet to everyone..

Amazing experience with top class guide
Having investigated a few tour operators we went with Wildlife due to their efficient and friendly communication and booking process.
We were collected from Nelspruit Airport by our wonderful guide Hoppy who looked after us for our entire trip. Hoppy was extremely knowledgeable and with his expertise we managed to see the big 5. We had early morning drives and a sunset drive to maximise our chance of seeing as many animals as possible.
Accommodation was clean and comfortable and food was courtesy of camp restaurants - all great quality.
I had such an amazing time that I cried when it was time to leave - and I am 31 years old...
Would highly recommend Wildlife Safaris to all.
2 Nights at Ashnil Mara Camp
Our safari with Kets to the mara was wonderful, enjoyed every bit of it. The driver Mr. George was friendly, humble and fun to be with. The Director Mr. Paul kept checking on us through out the safari and made sure we were happy and comfortable, Awesome! It felt nice staying at the Ashnil camp, friendly staff and good meals. the rooms were sparkles clean not forgetting the view of the River Mara...wow! Can't wait to have another safari with Kets.
