Mount Kenya Expedition
Kennedy the tour operator was professional and quick to communicate details of the trip, via WhatsApp and email. The trip to Mount Kenya was very enjoyable. The transportation from Nairobi to Mount Kenya National Park is by public bus in Kenya. Jimmy the tour guide and the porters, cook, etc. that accompanied us were helpful and good company. It was a camping trip and the food was delicious and nourishing after long days of hiking. The tents and sleeping mats are basic, so if you require something more comfortable pack that. They encouraged each of us to go to the summit (Point Lenana) and went out of their way to take care of us.

An experience in a lifetime
I journey to South Africa from the United States several times for business reasons. My last trip included a visit to Maputo, Mozambique, but between commitments, my friends and I stayed for a weekend at a private preserve in southern Kruger National Park.
I will never, ever forget this experience, and I can't recommend a trip to Kruger highly enough. On our guided early morning and evening tours, we gaped in awe at giraffe, impala, and elephants! It kept getting better: crocodiles lounging on the Crocodile River bank, hippos floating in the current, and cranes prancing along the shore. Jackals, hyenas, and the biggest herd of zebra I had ever seen -- not that I had seen a zebra anywhere other than TV or the zoo. The outstanding highlight of our outings was 20 minutes spent in the (distant, maybe 100 yards) of four male lions, who at one point began a chorus of roars. Our wonderful guide told us they were warning another lion of their presence. Also, we lucked on a leopard resting in a tree, visible by his legs hanging down from the limb.
Hundreds of photos help me recall this wonder. I plan to go back again.
I have written a series of blogs about my visit to Kruger. You can find them at http://bookviewcafe.com/blog/
I so appreciate this opportunity to share my experience, and hope others will be able to share the same some day.

Young, honest guys who genuinely care about customers and their safari
I met the Hekima guys through Couchsurfing. I stayed at their house, and was amazed by their generosity in opening their space to travelers in need. Mopo helped me to book my safari with Hekima. I did a bit of research and he offered me a really good, honest price. It's often hard to trust new people when you travel so much, but I very soon came to trust Mopo, Jackson, Sammy and the team very quickly. They would never rip someone off.
The safari itself was great quality as well. Our guide went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, and saw all the animals we could. The safari was well-organized, the food was good, and the keep was comfortable.
Overall I would highly recommend this company. The safari was great, and the guys involved are even better. A truly amazing, once in a lifetime experience.

Lot of animals :)
Tour was very nice. Tour days started quite early but it was nice to see sunrise with different animals. Our driver was ready to stop for best photos :)

Fast, efficient and paid attention to what I required.
Andy who did my bookings was awesome. He listened to what I needed in terms of accommodation and my budget. He booked a fantastic resort in the Drakensberg for my company's team building. It catered to all my requirements, we played golf, went on hikes, did several other activities and the cuisine was excellent. In terms of service and communication Andy delivers and does not disappoint.

Amazing safari Experience
Landside Adventure was very professional right from the time of enquiry to the completion of the safari. The driver/guide Edward was extraordinary and we managed to see all the Big 5 and various other species of wildlife in the Ngorongoro and Serengeti area.

Epic!!!
The transport was always on time and they were very helpful and patient with us even when we spent more time than anticipated at some of the locations we had to view. Thank you for the wonderful sights, I am sure we didn't see it all and will keep in touch so as to come back soon and finish off what we started. Thank you Keron Uganda tours and travel.

Best trip ever
We were taken all over Uganda and even to Rwanda to see the gorilla's. We also saw Kigali. Very impressive. All the stops we made in Uganda were so nice. Frank knows the locals and has contacts everywhere. With every stop he knew stories to tell about what we saw. He was always doing everything to make the trip as comfotable as possible. During the tour we had a medical emergency. Frank reacted quick and took us to a doctor in the middle of the night. He was always there for us. Day and night! We have been all over the world but to see Uganda with Frank is impossible to top. We are still in contact with him. We will go back to Uganda some day and without a doubt Frank will be our tourguide again!
