Awesome Tour Wild Spot Safaris.
We had an awesome experience with Wild Sport Safaris. I would highly recommend booking with them!
Before the trip our emails were answered promptly and in detail. Everything that was promised on the itinerary was delivered to us and also there were no hidden fees once we arrived. Everything was taken care of from transfers to and from airports,food and lodging. Edward our tour guide was so informative, friendly and above all gave the best customer service.

Beautiful and memorable trip!
Our trip with Michael was unbelievable - his knowledge of the flora and fauna was so deep, his respect for the conversation of the system so inspiring that we were incredibly touched and left feeling we had learned so much from a great master. We were very well looked after every day and our vehicle was great for photography. It was comfortable and clean and Michael ensured we were catered for from having ice cold water, snacks and battery chargers! Our itinerary was perfect and he listened to what we wanted to see and do advising us and ensuring we were able to view all wildlife. Michael seemed to know of the best viewing spots often bringing us to secluded aress where he knew the animals would be! We were so lucky to have such a tailored and amazing experience!

Great service, nice people and the Big 5 in 4 days.
The communication when ordering and before the trip was exellence. Thet/Tom did a fantastisk job, retning to make our dreams come true.
We Saw All the animals We Could have dreamed of. Only thing We Could have wished for, was a more directly drive from one park to another. The Office Could arrange a better Way regarding Pick ups and drop offs.
We Got What We paid for accomondation wise, animal wise We godt more Than expected.

Knowledgeable and helpful
I found Safari Partners online through my research. They had great reviews from previous clients and even though I live in Australia, got great advice and competitive pricing from them. Their customer service was exceptional, with the initial email discussion being greeted with prompt and informative responses. The best advice we received from Safari Partners was that whilst it sounds great to do a tour of East Africa visiting all the areas you have heard of, to get the most out of your experience, you are better off locating yourself in a couple of varied wildlife areas for decent periods of time, rather then constantly travelling......so we did.
Our 9 day private tour was arranged perfectly-everything went as planned and all details had been taken care of. We did an air safari so as not to waste time travelling and the tour tented camps we stayed at were perfect for our requirements-Elephant Bedroom Camp and Encounter Mara.
We have no hesitation in recommending our friends to book their East Africa holidays using Safari Partners, and we look forward to our next trip to Africa using their services.

Unforgettable African Safari Experience
We had wonderful experience in the wild. We had been told to be careful in Kenya, but we only found kind, helpful and co-operative people. OTL (owner) was all beaming with a smile when we visited him. Our driver Charles was very patient and had good knowledge of Nakuru and Masai Mara. We saw all the Big 5 (Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo) at very close quarters albeit almost touched them. Lots of birds and other animals as well. There was never a dull moment. Nature unfolds right in front of you sometimes bit cruel when you see a kill in action. We were 1 day in Nakuru and 3 days in Mara and everyday we saw a kill. It was thrilling and very exciting life experience.
I would recommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris a) They are reasonable in price. b) They promise and deliver. c) The jeep you are in is sturdy and safe, has walkie talkie (just in case). d) The driver is knowledgeable.

Once again, Christopher B. and Indigo Safaris dialed me IN!
This is the third--count 'em: 3rd!--time that I've worked with Christopher Bartlett and Indigo Safaris. And once again, I'm glad I did. (And I would--and do--enthusiastically recommend that others do the same.)
So where'd he send me? We're looking at four weeks and five countries in Africa: Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Uganda. The activities ranged from a world-class two-week vehicle safari in Bots (we pretty much made a circle around that grand country) to romping about Victoria Falls in Zam, canoeing on the Zambezi in Zim, getting some well-earned "city time" in ZA and seeing our primate ancestors up-close-and-personal in Uganda. It was, I'm not hesitant to say, the trip of a lifetime.
And Christopher mapped out the whole blasted thing. Seamlessly. Seriously, early in the year, I share with him the gist of what I wanted to do and see this go-round in Africa, and he took things from there, arranging for lodging, pick-ups, drop-offs, permits, guides--everything. And all along the way, there was consistent, conversational, constructive back-and-forth between the two of us so that we were both on the same clearly delineated page. (He even helped me nail down my packing list, the dear.)
Everything was so well planned that I kinda just landed in Kasane one day like a babe in the woods and trusted that the trip would unspool as Christopher had listed in my itinerary. And that's just what it did.
The only difference was that it went smoother and was better than I'd expected.
I don't know how he does it. But I aim to work with him again, just to see if I can figure it out... ;)

The best park in Kenya with uncountable wildlife numbers
When I visited this park in August, the migration of the animals was fully ongoing. There were hundreds of thousands of animals out in the huge savanna, they were uncountable.
The Zebras and Wildebeests crossing the Mara River was an amazing thing to watch, something extraordinary that one has to watch in a lifetime. We were also very lucky to see a lion kill wildebeests and also buffalo.
Also, managed to see a pride of 18 lions at one spot in Masai Mara, and even lions mating. This was the most outstanding park that we visited.
The safari company we booked with ensured we had the best game viewing in this sanctuary and recommend African Sermon Safaris operator. Their guides, Ben and James are also top class.

A fantastic holiday
We have done many long haul trips and we've been to some amazing countries, but this holiday was the best of the lot!
We couldn't have asked for a better holiday , If only Safarihub dealt with the rest of the world!
It was a pleasure to deal with Eleanor and her knowledge of all aspects of our holiday was spot on. Every single transfer went to plan, all on time, and the accommodation at all the venues was exactly as she had described it to me.

All of us loved it the whole time!
This was the best trip my family has ever gone on!!! The places we stayed were incredibly beautiful, especially at Ngorogoro Crater and Karatu, and also in Arusha, where we woke up every morning to monkeys running around outside our balconies! Riding around in the Landrover was fun, and we got to see SO MANY animals, including three leopards and a baby cheetah!! All because Gideon is a fantastic guide and knew where to find them all. And our entire family was happy the whole time, which almost never happens.

“14 days Rwanda & Uganda memorable tour 17th September 2015”
While in search of a company that would provide professional and personalized touch to our family planed jungle safari, on the google search Engine ; Charis Uganda Safaris website popped up with a variety and well-designed safaris ; subsequently I send an E-mail enquiring about a 14 days safari Rwanda, Uganda. My E-mail was quickly responded to by Gloria who furnished me with all the information that I need to prepare for our safari.
We had an exceptional trip with our magnificent, thoughtful, knowledgeable, driver guide Emma, who knew the region as the back of his hand. Despite the patches of bumpy road- he kept us up-to-date, as well as entertained. Wow the custom built van was very comfortable, clean and in a good state. The lodges Cassia Lodge, Primate Lodge, Top View Hill Hotel were well chosen. The boat launch in Queen Elizabeth rewarded us with what Emma called the school of hippos, alongside, buffalos, crocodile’s elephant, and a range of beautiful birds, eminent – the white pelican-, bathing. Gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda left me and my family speechless – we had never seen such a huge animal in its natural environment. As a family we agreed that a repeat visit to this beautiful virgin lands is more than the monies worth, this trip was certainly memorable for us. Searching for a company to give you the best tour company in East Africa; do not hesitate to contact Charis Uganda Safaris – indeed we were led to “Befriending Africa’s jungle and Culture with Charis Uganda Safaris”
