A fun, safe and enjoyable experience booking our safari online with the help of the Timbuktu team.
It was easy to design the trip online with the added bonus of having the team at Timbuktu to help whenever we had questions or last minute requests. Very personal service, and we were pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Their recommendations were fantastic and the safaris we went on in Zambia and Botswana were of the highest quality and the travel between camps seamless. We also enjoyed a few days on Azura Island off Pemba in Mozambique, which was just idyllic and the perfect compliment and ending to our wonderful holiday.

ACZ Safaris was excellent choice for 3 days Masai Mara
First of all email communication with Joshua was very clear and he answered all my questions, then he personally picked us up at our place in Nairobi, also dropped off after safari.
Our driver James Gichina was great guide and his driving skills were famous, he found always perfect spot for us to make clear pictures of all animals and interesting information about them, also thanks to him we saw all BIG 5, great job James. We can recommend ACZ safaris and James as driver/guide with confidence for great fun and adventure.
We were at Rhino camp, it is not a 5 star accommodation but room was clean, also bedding, hot shower and that is all we needed for 2 nights during safari.

Unbelievable experience!!
Our experience with Axis Africa Safari was fantastic. The communications with Lennox were clear and fast. Our driver and guide Richard was great. We had such a good time with him. We saw the big 5 and more in one day and a half. He asked us if we wanted to go to Naivasha Lake as we had already seen all the animals at Masai mara and also went to see Masai village. The price worth it and the camp was perfect!! Our tend had 3 beds and the bathroom was clean and with hot water. The food was nice, the food you would eat at any place in Kenya.
I totally recommend booking with them!

A memorable journey, warthogs and all
We chose East Africa Wild Adventures based on its excellent reviews and because Alym (the owner) is based near us in Vancouver. That afforded us the chance to meet with him to plan our trip in person, and to get a feel for him and his company. He made a very good impression - both his in-depth knowledge, and his candour when discussing the details. His personal touch was self-evident, which came in handy during our Tanzania trip. There is a tremendous amount of logistical work that goes into a week-long safari, and every day unfolded smoothly. Or at least it would have, had we not run into a major problem with our vehicle on the second day of the safari. Efforts were made to fix it, but the problem persisted the next day. We then texted Alym (middle of the night for him) and he immediately dispatched a new vehicle that arrived the following day. We were grateful and relieved, as the driver and the Arusha-based EAW manager seemed content to continue trying for a repair. With the new vehicle, no more frustrations and back to smooth sailing. We really enjoyed our driver, Emmanuel, who was knowledgeable, flexible, and engaged. The accommodations were first-rate, both in the parks and our beach hotel in Zanzibar, where we spent the last three days of our trip. One piece of advice - if you go during the summer, if does get quite cool overnight in the Serengeti. If you don't like the cold, bring some warm night clothes (and maybe a heating pad). And enjoy the spectacular wildlife and scenery - it doesn't get any better than this. I can certainly recommend East Africa Wild Adventures to help you make it happen.

The staff were absolutely reliable.
Before planning our trip we looked around several tour operators. We settled on Denhum Holidays specifically because of the great deal they offered.
We were most excited about our trip to Maasai Maraa and it all went perfectly thanks to the great team at Denhum Holidays. They promptly replyed to us, and was were patient as we changed our itinerary planning a couple of times.
During the safari, John was our excellent companion on the road.He was very knowledgeable. He helped spot animals as well. John also stayed vigilant on the road and was very proffessional and courteous.
We had an amazing time in Kenya with many thanks to Denhum Holidays.

Amazing tour with ACTT
It was my first solo trip to a foreign country and I was worried about how the tour would go but Muli and his friends in ACTT made it a very memorable journey. They always took care of everything and I was able to enjoy Kenya without any worries. We had a great trip of Masaimara where we visited the masaai village and witnessed the lifestyle of the native people. The jungle safaris were wonderful- up close with the animals and we were able to capture great pictures. Muli is like a family to me now, he calls me Mamaa and I feel that he is my son. Will definitely travel with ACTT again in the future.

This is a company which knows its stuff and delivers an unbeatable service.
Having booked with Timbuktu for a fantastic safari trip 2 years ago we had no hesitation in approaching Johnny and the team again to plan our 10 day trip around the Western Cape. The website gave us the early inspiration to design what we wanted to do and the team at Timbuktu then arranged everything and at very little notice. The locations were spot on , a couple of days in Cape Town, up the coast to Paternoster, down to Hermanus and a final day or two in Franschhoek. We had just the right balance of independent travel with the reassurance of knowing that Timbuktu was there to call upon if any problems arose.We couldn't fault the service and will be booking again for our next African trip soon!

Great experience
It was our Kenya get-away this year- Masaimara, Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru with ACTT and they did everything possible to make it superbly enjoyable! Throughout the tour we never faced any issues in terms of hospitality. Great food, great hotels and well managed safaris to the wildlife. Special mention to Muli and Joseph who did everything under their power to make this tour memorable so that we can enjoy the mesmerizing landscape without having to worry about a thing.

Life long dream come true!!!
Just got back from our dream trip. Thanks to Maurice for his excellent service in planning the 12 day safari. His professionalism made our trip so wonderful. Everything was top notch!!!! A special thank you to our 2 guides Felix and Jones for 12 awsome days . You made sure we saw lots of animals and taught us about the animals and life in Kenya. You took great care of us. We have souvenirs in our heads and hearts. We already miss you all and hope to be able to go back and visit more of Kenya one day.
Thank you again and big hugs to all of you
