Terrific experience
We are a 10-headed german group ( 5 adulzs, 5 children between 12 and 15 years) and searched for a tour operator for 1-day trips to the Okavango delta, starting from Maun. Migakolodi (MG) from Bush Baby Calls provided us with unforgettable experiences. He was very reliable, gave us hints, where to go for dinner.
He organized a guided trip to Moremi Game Reserve, as well as a Mokoro-Boats-Tour. Both tours were excellently prepared. The guide for the Moremi Tour had eagle eyes and discovered the first wild Leopard of my life. He brought us very close to a lion, to elephants and hundreds of other animals. We felt always safe. We hadn't to care for nothing. Food and drinks were provided and there was no question, the guide ("Kilo") could not answer.
The same is true for the Mokoro-Tour. We were pucked up and brought to the Mokoro station. From there we were accompanied by very well experienced Mokoro-Guided (one guide for 1 Mokoro with 2 passengers each). The nature was wonderful and we made also a 1-hour walk on an island within the delta. Hippos, eleohants, eagles and a lot of other species were sighted, sometimes pretty near. Hence my photografic ambitions were served as well.
Thanks to MG and his staff. You're the best.

Wonderful safari on a budget
Lucy at Serene East Africa Safaris made everything so easy as I arranged a 3 day private budget safari for myself and 2 friends.
Accom was very basic but bearable for 2 nights and food was pretty good.
Our driver Simon made sure he kept up with where all the animals were and we saw some amazing things, plus saw 4 of the big 5.
Highly recommended!

Great Safari tour
My wife and I (fresh married) had a wonderful 7-day Safari tour organized by Edward. We visited Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with two different guides, one in Kenya and another one in Tanzania.
First of all, Edward organized the trip for us as a private tour, which allowed us to take it in our desired pace and to stop as many time as we wanted (for photos or other purposes). We had three different accommodations, 2 lodges and one hotel in Arusha on the way back. We had an amazing lodge in the national park Serengeti, the lodge in Masai Mara and hotel in Arusha were less great, but decent and clean.
Ephraim - our guide in Kenya was very kind and tried his best to provide us with the best positions to take photos and had a good knowledge of the roads in Kenya. I forgot my charger in the car and he gave his best to bring it to the airport before we departed from Nairobi.
Steven - our guide in Kenya was less enthusiastic, but full of knowledge about the wild life.
All in all it is my impression that the whole tour had a high value for money.

Remarkeable experience at a good price. Thanks CUL Tours Team
I am a Ugandan and I knew Stephen from his childhood! My family in law and I booked one week trip to northwestern Uganda Murchison Falls National Park and Cul Tours and Safaris proved to be professional at arranging all aspects of this and were extremely quick in responding to requests for information. They were very helpful in suggesting alternatives to our initial plans. Our driver guide Brian is very knowledgeable, a superb driver and a real pleasure to be with for the whole of the trip. Thanks to Cul Tours and Safaris and I will recommend them to everyone.
Travel date; 10-13th May 2016, 3 days trip to Murchison

Super customer service and extremely knowledgeable safari guiding!
My friend and I started planning our safari in what could be considered a very tight timeframe. We enquired with several tour operators and for many of them it was already fairly late to start planning a tailored adventure for the two of us. Therefore, we were pleasantly surprised by the ability of Elias and his crew not only to accommodate our requests, but also to tailor our safari experience to our desire. In addition, Elias was able to respond to my last-minute travel mishaps very efficiently, making arrangements not to disrupt our itinerary and helping us to move ahead as planned. Our guide, Emmanuel, was incredibly knowledgeable of the area, wildlife and surrounding environment, and we learned much from him as much about the local ecosystems in the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro as we did about the local culture. I highly recommend this tour operator and our guide. It was a pleasure to tour with them and I will definitely return one day and do it all over again with them.

A beautiful, spectacular experience!
Our mission group ended our two week visit to Uganda with a safari with Would Jungle Trails. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful, educational experience. Our guide, Twaha, was so nice, fun, experienced and trusted. He showed us the beauty of the Safari and the experience if seeing God's amazing creatures in the wild is one we will treasure forever!

A very personalized tour including flexibility to see the unexpected views of animals, other sites
We have done two safaris with this company, and know Lucas, the owner, very well. He does an outstanding job, and takes the best of care of his clients...wouldn't go with anyone else! He maximizes what he can show you, and tailors the tour to your interests.

Fabulous 9 Day East African Safari Courtesy of Planet Africa Safaris!
Just returned from the above "dream" vacation with my family of 4. Entire trip was booked courtesy of Mary and Leah from Planet Africa Safaris. We stayed in 3 high end tented camps in Kenya (Ol Pejeta Bush Camp, Rekero Camp, and Naboisho Camp). We flew between the first two camps and then flew from Naboisho back to Nairobi for departure. Given all of the logisitics re flights, intercamp travels, and lodgings, Planet Africa Safaris should get 10 stars for their service. Every single detail was planned perfectly and we were treated in the utmost professional manner. Furthermore, I honestly believe the 3 camps we chose (at Mary's recommendation) were the 3 best in all of Kenya! Spectacular trip - I can't thank the team at Planet Africa Safaris enough for their help. Will definitely recommend them to anyone interested in going to Africa in the future.

Great 1st time Safari Experience!
Everything was perfect, from the communications at the get go, to the payment and the experience and our amazing guide. The only thing I would suggest is AC in the coach and the window being closed on the dusty ride to and from the Safari, it's a bumpy ride! All in all great experience and value for your money!
