Excellent 2 week safaris
We did a 14 days safaris with "Wildebeest safaris" in Kenya and then Tanzania. It was the first safaris and it was amazing. Firstly, thanks to Noah for all the exchanged messages, he is very patient to explain all the details and respond very quickly, he helped us to solve all the questions for the preparations.
Our safaris was started with our drivers Eustace and Mayungu, they were very nice, lovely and knowledgable, they can always find the best position to observe all the animals, we have saw big five in the three first days in Masai Mara with so many excellant photos, and the boat trip, bike drive were also so excellent.
Then we arrived at Tanzania, we changed drivers, Ayubu and Chotara are full of humor, we could not stop laughing during our trip, they are as well as very knowledgable , they showed us each animal's habitat when we were in Serengeti, we got so many new knowledge.
Again, thanks so much to all the Wildebeest group to give us a beautiful and excellent memory for my safaris, I will turn back with them if I do another safaris!

Just wonderful
Everything was excellent. The guides the food, the promptness, comfort, communication etc. We climbed MT Kilimanjaro then did a safari with them in Tanzania. The price is good too as they are a local company and don't have the layers of admin costs that they have in Australia US or UK. Thoroughly recommend them.

Nothing short of exceptional! I felt like I was in a National Geographic documentary.
Our group of seven’s safari experience was nothing short of exceptional!
We covered Arusha, Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks as well as Ngorongoro Conservation Area over a 7 day period. A lot of ground to cover, but what an experience.
Each morning the day’s itinerary was outlined by our guide (Raymond). The Land Cruiser sat ready …clean & tidy and a large “box lunch” was provided for each of us. Cold drinks were aboard in the cooler.
Not only did we see the Big 5 but we saw them in spades. We had fantastic looks at some of the large predators like lions, leopards and cheetahs; large grazing herds of wildebeests, gazelles, buffalo and antelopes as well as wallowing hippopotamus, lumbering elephants and stately giraffes.
Our guide worked hard and seemed to have a 6th sense in terms of locating wildlife. Not only were we very close to large herbivores, carnivores and birds but we viewed them in a setting where they seemed quite oblivious to us. They continued to hunt, graze, scavenge, dabble, court and even copulate in a stunning landscape.
Nothing seemed to escape our guide’s keen eye. He was an avid bird watcher and not only able to spot and identify the many spectacular bird species we saw, but speak to their natural history and behaviour as well. Same went for the mammals large and small, reptiles like Nile crocodiles, lizards and turtles/tortoises.
Our safari was rounded out with a visit to a Mbugwe village on the edge of Tarangire National Park. Here we learned about the people living there and how they lived, how they fed and supported themselves, their customs, beliefs and their outlook on the future. Our guide served as a respectful interpreter for our conversations with the Mbugwe villagers. We also stopped by a Maasai village for an insightful tour.
Our accommodation and meals were in 3 different locations were great. Three nights in a ‘bush camp’ in a spacious tent with 2 queen sized beds and a three piece bathroom was hardly roughing it. Staff were welcoming, friendly and accommodating. A hot towel and cold drink on our arrival offered another touch of class. Meals offered were variety of interesting regional dishes and well as standard fare for less adventurous tastes.
Both our guide Raymond and his brother Lawrence were shining examples of competent, caring and professional entrepreneurs with a small fledgling company. I highly recommend you consider them if you are looking for a safari trip of a lifetime. It was an epic trip for me that I will never forget!
Expect in Africa Safari also organized a 6 day climb on Mount Kilimanjaro. I’m happy to report all 7 ladies in the group made the summit. Our success had everything to do with the care, support and professionalism of our guides, cook and porters. We climb the Murangu route and stayed in rustic “chalets”. Food was hot and plentiful and our cook dropped by every evening during dinner. Our guides actually sang songs to keep us motivated on the final climb to the summit. It was a grind but we made it. Thanks to our devoted entourage of 21 as well as Expect in Africa Safari organizers. Another trip of a lifetime that I can boost about for decades.

Dreadful
Thank you for your reply to my son Mathias regarding his review. In response, I have every email and communication between me and Falcon Safaris and am more than happy to go public with them.
1. When I booked the days at the hotel, Patrick Manyika confirmed the booking. Fact. I confirmed when I had paid and asked you for confirmation that you received payment. You did NOT request proof of payment at this time. Fact. You did not reply to my email of 12/12/17 that you confirm receipt of payment. Fact.
2. I recontacted you in July to check all was well. Fact. The first email I got back said that all was ok with the booking. It was 2 days after this you said that you could not find the payment. By this time we were in Zimbabwe with no ability to contact my bank in U.K. Fact.
3. We have been the ones that have done all the leg work in this. Gertrude has simply responded to emails. We have provided proof of payment, more than once. Fact. Our bank has contacted your bank, your bank has not responded.
4. I have more than once requested your formal complaints procedure details and these have not been provided. Fact. This is why we have gone public because Falcon Safaris have made no proactive effort to resolve this issue.
5. You have just hoped we would give up and go away and accept an over £1000 loss. Not going to happen. We paid once in full and then had to pay again to ensure a booking.

Kilimanjaro climb (Marangu Route), safari and Zanzibar: truly the trip of a lifetime!
Expect In Africa did an excellent job organizing a trip for our group. We successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 6 days via the Marangu Route with the support of our experienced guides. On the safari, we saw an amazing amount of wildlife. Our guides were very knowledgeable, the accommodations were quite luxurious and we always felt safe. This company looks after you well!

100% Recomendable
Our experience with Safari Multiways was excellent.
We were a group of 4 persons in an 8 days private Safari in Northern Tanzania (Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Serengeri-Natron)
The communication with the manager Romeo was very smooth and easy. He provided us with all the information. We had in mind an itinerary which was improved with Romeo's recommendations. They can costumise your Safari based on your needs and budget.
Once there, the Safari was excellent. We did not have any problems at all with the accomodations or the park fees, everything went as planned. Our guide, Yuma, was an excellent companion who fulfilled our expectations and more. We learned a lot about animals and nature and we spotted a lot of animals with his help. We totally recommend Safari Multiways to everyone. They're very professional and responsive.

Very Good and reliable.
I booked with them a 5-day trip in Uganda and Rwanda, with 1 gorilla trekking in each country. As I had an extra day, they added one chimp trekking marking it a 6-day tour. All went really well anda exactly as it was agreed when hiring them.
The contact was also easy, with my emails always being answered very fast.
I certainly do recommend their agency.

Amazing trip thanks to Tammy at Pembury Tours!
We had a large group of people traveling from NYC and planning a trip to southern Africa. Tammy put together an amazing itinerary to Vic Falls, Chobe, and the Okavango Delta. She made great recommendations for lodging and activities and was also super responsive and helpful. Can't recommend her and Pembury Tours enough!
