Amazing Safari and Kilimanjaro Climb with Licious Adventure
After searching around for a local guide company, I contacted Neema for a proposal on my trip to Tanzania in March 2018. She was very responsive and provided me with proposals for my trip. we opted for a 4-day Safari and Kili climb on the 7 days Machame route.
Our guide, assistant guide, cook, and all the porters who were part of our adventure were not only top notch professionals but were incredibly caring and generous people. We did find certain aspects of the climb quite challenging, but every staff member was always willing to help in their own way, by being patient and allowing us to rest. We all reach to the TOP, It was the best feeling in the world.
Without going on too long here it’s fair to say that our group was 100% satisfied with Licious Adventure and credit them for making the trip one to remember for a long long time.
I highly recommend Neema and his crew at Licious Adventure for your trip and tours in Tanzania!! Special thanks to Abraham and John for making my trip one to remember!

Unforgettable trip and experience with Easy Travel
We have been revisiting our wonderful trip to Tanzania by looking at the beautiful pictures we clicked and we are still in awe of the beautiful landscape, the hospitality of the people we met, and beauty of the abundant wildlife. Elias certainly did a great job to enhance our safari experience and it was evident that his knowledge of the wildlife and flora and fauna shined brilliantly as we traveled through different national parks. He is a keen spotter, and often made us wonder how he managed to to spot an animal so far away or hidden in the bushes and this is a clear testament to the years of experience he brings with him.
The lodges exceeded our expectations and we looked forward to returning to our home away home each day after the game drives.
Jesca made the booking and planning process seamless and and I would not hesitate to use Easy Travels for our future travel needs.

Excellent, reliable, quality service
I give the highest rate to the service I recieved. The car was great and camping equipment was even exccesive. Prices were agreed in advance and as agreed.
Jeff, the driver, delivered car to our entrance point in Uganda and picked up at the entrab=nce to Kampala. Jeff is professional, knowlagable and intellegent. We recieved many valuable advices from him.
Communication with Joy (office) and Jeff (the driver) were extremely reliable, prompt and efficient.
I recommend Self Drive Uganda to everyone interesting in this type of exploring this beautiful land.
Self Drive is Ugandian owed company. I wish a success to their business..

An experience worthy of being remembered
Excellent staff, well trained and very willing to respond to clients needs and emergencies. Marhaba definitely exceeded every exception I had in them, the planning was flawless, the booking was on point and each experience was tailored to our every need. The programme was communicated to us before hand so that we had a chance to change and know what was to come.

Excellent 3 day Murchison Falls Safari
We had a great Safari experience with Africa Nature Trekkers. The commuication and booking process was very smooth and we got a competitive offer. The offered intenerary was a good fit for a three day tour.
Our guide (Barnabus) was a very pleasant person. We appreciated his careful driving and felt very safe although the traffic in Uganda can be crazy. Barnabus was very knowledgable about the National Park and its wildlife. Due to his good network with other gudies he constantly received information on spotting of animals. Therefore, we saw inter alia several lions even with cubs - the highlight of our safari. Barnabus also ensured that our interests and wishes were met during the tour.
We are very satisfied with our safari experience and would highly recommend Africa Nature Trekkers and especially Barnabus.

Turned out to be an enjoyable experience.
Out of desperation and because of our limited time in Kenya, we booked less than half a day before the trip without any prior research. Because of this, our expectations were already not that high. But I'm glad to say it was an enjoyable experience and well worth the price. The campsite was great and the food is good. Our tent had solar-powered lights and hot water (although both were not working the last morning but it was not a big deal). The tour itself is exactly what was described in the tour info page. The worst part of the whole thing was the horrible roads but that's hardly the fault of the tour operator.
I just want to thank Lenchada for accommodating our last-minute request to go on this safari.

Poor management, did not follow itinerary, rude, Great driver
I recommend looking ELSEWHERE before booking with Orongai Africa. I am not one to write bad reviews but my poor experience with them warrants such review.
I priced out many safaris prior to booking and specifically requested going to Lake Manyara weeks before booking with Orongai. They agreed to this and I paid a deposit down for a 5 day, 4 night safari. One week after paying for half of the trip, they sent an email with what looked like the same itinerary as we agreed upon. What I did not realize however was that they deleted Lake Manyara (despite our initial request and agreement) from the last day without discussing this with me at all. After arriving in Tanzania from Kenya (which I will give them 1 star of credit for because they were very accommodating to picking me and my significant other up from the border which was very helpful), we had to pay for the second half of the trip. We attempted to pay via paypal with a credit card which "did not go through", so I sent a second payment through paypal. Essentially, we paid 1.5x what was originally agreed upon. I have now been back for 4 weeks to the USA and despite emailing multiple times, we have yet to receive a refund for the extra half trip we paid for. I hope we get our money back soon.
Not only is their management rude sending snarky emails back and accusing us of not tipping our amazing guide (for which I take a lot of offense to because we tipped him extra for how great his knowledge and sense of humor was), but they are UNTRUSTWORTHY for changing itineraries AFTER money was already paid.
I highly recommend looking elsewhere before booking with this company. Save yourself the headache of being accused of being a bad person inappropriately.
On a side note, if you do come across a safari guide named Issac. He is really great and gave us a good experience on 4 out of the 5 days of the safari that the company took us on. The 5th day, they stated we had "used all of our money up" and could not go on the last day of the safari before the airport. Such a disaster.

Very Personal and Flexible
Annette had worked with us to tailor the dates, locations and lodging just for us and our needs. She found a lodge for us that was far more comfortable and beautiful than any place I had ever stayed in. I could have stayed there for the whole trip. She took the time to answer our many questions and worked with us to determine the best itinerary for our 5 day safari.
