Great Safari! Well Done Vervet
We are writing to tell you that we were very impressed with the wonderful service from your team during our safari to Arusha National Park, Tarangire National park and Ngorongoro last month. Your team handled everything excellently - Rachel from reservations and our guide Melkiot were sensational. We appreciate all the efforts you made to make us happy. We had a fantastic Safari with plenty to see and extra nice accommodations.
Thank you and hopefully see you soon.

What an experience, double gorilla treks
First of all, before you see the Gorillas, which is why everyone goes there, Bwindi is just magical! It is a beautiful park as the scenery, the green all-around you, the misty mornings (mist can be seen hanging over the rain forest) take your breath away. The encounter with the gorillas is awe-inspiring. No words can paint a proper picture for you who has not been to Bwindi to see the Gorillas. You have to do it yourself to make your own conclusions. Last month, I and my sister went on a 6-day double Gorilla trek with Uzuri Uganda Safaris who I cannot fault as Edris did a good jog arranging everything. Our driver was Joachim and he looked after us as if we were his own family, he made us feel comfortable going above and beyond making our trip the best. He had a wealth of knowledge and was happy to share it with us delivering the information well. He had books in the car so he shared those with us to read for additional information! As mentioned above we had 2 treks with the Gorillas in Uganda and it was worth every penny! Each day was a completely different experience following different gorilla families. We crossed into Rwanda for the golden monkey tour in Volcanoes National Park after our two amazing treks in Uganda. The trek to see the Golden monkeys was good too but nothing compared to the Gorilla Treks. Everything else about the tour was great the accommodations, the food, the car and more. Thanks again Joachim and Uzuri Uganda Safaris we will never forget this experience!!!!

Unforgettable Safari remain in our life time Nurdin made it ......
In May 2019 we spent 2 nights 3 days on a safari booked with Wild Gaze Safaris and Nurdin Adam was our guide. It was our first trip to Tanzania and to Africa for that matter and it was the best intro and experience we could have asked for.
We chose to work with Wild Gaze Safaris because of Norbert, who from our first email interactions, answered our questions and put us at ease in the planning of the safari. He helped tailor the experience to our needs (we have 2 kids ), wishes and budget - while giving us the guidance and expertise he has. He helped to demystify the safari planning process and showed us that it’s didn’t need to cost $500 per day per person which was what we were getting from outfitters. From the logistical side, Norbert was exceptionally great to work with and his choices and recommendations for Bandas, accommodations and sites proved to be excellent. Our favorite accommodations were:
Ruaha National Park
As for the actual safari experience day to day, that was what it was because of Nurdin. He is kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.
we were a team and our children LOVED him. I always felt he had our best interests at heart and we trusted him and his recommendations and suggestions without question. I was very nervous to come to Africa because of many unknowns (that now in retrospect seem very silly) and that anxiousness went away as soon as we got in the car with Nurdin on Day 1 and never returned. Some of our favorite times were meal times in the Bandas the government property in which we sat together and talked about the day and shared stories.
We will return to Tanzania again because of Nurdin and hopefully get the chance to work with him.

Pefect recommendation ever !!!!
Based on recommendations from friends who have already travelled with them and reading reviews we chose Africa Adventure Vacations to organize our trip to Uganda for our family of 5 (three kids age 13, 7, 5). Already prior to our trip Robert was very helpful in advising us on an itinerary that would best fit our interests and duration of stay. He was very professional with exceptional customer care. We stayed in the most comfortable lodges during our safari. Parkiew safari lodge and Gorillas were the safari highlight. We shall definitely recommend your services once we get back home

Fantastic 2-Day Ruaha experience
We contacted Wild Gaze which was recommended by our hotel in Iringa. We had 2 couples and a family with a young boy and wanted clean but inexpensive accommodations, meals, and a good vehicle with driver/guide to take us to Ruaha. Norbert did not disappoint! His detailed quote and interactions to address our questions and concerns gave us the confidence to try his company. He communicated often, both during and after our safari, to ensure we were satisfied and that things proceeded as planned. Our driver/guide, Michael, was friendly and well-informed. He had a good sense of the park (which was very large) and communicated with other safari guides to ensure we were able to see the animals in particular the elusive leopard! One note is that the drivers in Ruaha seem to have no hesitation driving right up to elephants and lions, coming into such close proximity that we felt the animals had to interrupt their normal activity to avoid us. Other than this, the entire safari was well-planned and executed. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend considering Wild Gaze Safaris for any tour in Tanzania.

My new go-to
KingTomondo will be my new go-to adress for Safari. First safari with them and already feeling like family, very very friendly service. I appreciate that they didnt try to force anything on me they gave me many options and time to make the best choice for myself. Replied to my emails even on sundays and late night. Gave me an additional discount. Safari was great, many thanks to our driver Alfa. Will be back soon, thanks to the whole team.

Best for solo traveler
I booked two tours with African Comfort Zone Safaris as a solo traveler and although I was scared to travel alone John assured me that everything will be fine. First I did "1Day Hell's Gate National Park & Lake Naivasha Trip" with John himself who made me feel at home and taught me alot about Kenya. This tour was introduction to Kenya wildlife, I was surprised to see all that wildlife right from the highway as we drove to Hell's Gate. John had to stop for me to have a close view of giraffes that were on the sides of the road. Hell's Gate is a beautiful park where one can ride, drive or just walk among the wildlife! I would recommend this park to anyone traveling to Kenya.
I also did 4days Mt. Kenya Climbing with ACZ safaris and this time Julius was my guide. He and his team of chef and porters made me feel so comfortable however I was the only lady in the group of 4 people, I must say that I was over pampered. They really assisted me in hiring and purchasing all the gears that I needed. I really regret that I didn't booked the rest of the safari to Masai Mara and other parks with them. I wish I knew them before booking it. Thank you all who made my holiday unforgettable.

Amazing Safari with Great Guide and Excellent Service!
It was our first trip to Africa. We decided to choose travel agency Walking Stick based on internet review and it was a really good decision. Our guide, Philimon, is the best guide I have ever met. He is a high professional with deep understanding of nature, animals, people and history as well. We spent together with him and his team 6 days in National Park Moremi and Game Reserve Khwai. We slept in tents in campsites so animals were all around us. Philimon did the best to see maximum of animals during our safari (we saw leopards, lions crossing the river early in the morning (5am)!!!, wild dogs eating antilope, lions preparing for buffalo chase, rhinos and of course lot of other animals as elephants, hipos, anitlopes, monkeys, zebras…). Night safari was also unforgettable experience. Joe, a chef, prepared us every day delicious meal with soup, meat, boiled and fresh vegetable. And imagine! - Fresh bread and cake baked on the fire. Joe is a real magician.
I hope that I will return to Botswana again. I definitely will go with Philimon and his travel agency again! Philimon – Thank you.
