Aardwolf Africa came to our rescue and we had a wonderful 9 day trip with them
I had booked a trip for me and my 14 year old son but was betrayed by that company only four days before our safari was supposed to start, a safari that was the beginning of a larger trip so their was not an option for us to back out. I sent an e-mail to few companies to ask for there help and Aardwoolf Africa came to our rescue and Ester (there employee) rescued our trip in this short time witch was not an easy job because it was high season and a very short time to work with. We had a trip of a live time. Everything was like it was supposed to be. There work was very professional but at the same time very personal. Our driver David did everything in his power to make our trip as good as possible and even when our car broke down on the terrible roads of Kenya he found us a place with another safari company so we didn't miss out on our game drive. We owe them great thanks and are not afraid to recommend them to everyone. They are a solid company and members of Kato and they deliver on their promises witch is not the fact with all companies in Kenya as we experienced.

Excellent communication and service with Royo ya Chui
I worked with Royo Ya Chui to book a tented camp safari at Beyond Kichwa Tembo. Ute at Royo Ya Chui was extremely easy to work with and provided excellent communication through the process. Our stay at Kichwa Tembo was one of our best vacation experiences to date. The camp pays great attention to all details to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The lodging, food, safari drivers, are all top notch. You will not be disappointed if you book a safari at &Beyond with Royo Ya Chui.

Simply the best!!
Our booking process exceeded all our expectations. We had a rough plan what to do and our agent Nadine came up with a lot ofsuggestions on how to do our trip. She answered a multitude of e-mails with thoroughness, insight and patience with our numerous questions. We never waited longer than a few hours for her answer!
The safari camps and tours she recommended were incredible. We chose: Somalisa Expeditions Camp, Chobe Elephant Camp, BAtonka Guest Lodge and Pelo Camp! The accommodations were what we expected (or better) and the game drives and guides were absolutely amazing.
All in all was the quality of accommodation, service, meals and activities well above what we expected!
The staff at each camp made us feel like family. We can't wait to go back and see new places.
We will plan our next safari with "Safari Specialists" again!
Well done!

Excellent, life-changing experience, great guide!
Our guide, Rogers, was organized, funny and put our whole group at ease. He was informed, easy to understand and very connected within the safari community in Uganda. He knew just who to talk to, getting us connected with the most friendly gorilla family, giving us the closest encounters possible. We stayed in Bwindi to see the mountain gorillas and then headed to Queen Elizabeth National park for a game drive and boat trip up the channel. So fun!

Fantastic Kenya safari
My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience with Amazing Memories.
We went for an 8-day safari in Kenya, staying in upper range camps and hotels.
From the beginning, our contact Anne was very responsive, tailoring our trip according to our requests. She was waiting at Nairobi airport when we arrived, and gave us a good welcome to Kenya.
The price was reasonable considering the quality of the accommodation, and we stayed in a mix of camps and hotels. Every place we stayed was excellent, going from Amboseli to The Ark in Aberdares, then Lake Nakuru, then the Masai Mara.
Each place was very good, but The Ark was interesting - a hotel right in front of a water hole where you can watch the animals come in style - and Mara Serena in Masai Mara was truly excellent, with breathtaking views.
Our driver Joseph was great, very knowledgeable about the wildlife and friendly and talkative. Thanks to him we knew all the best places to see the animals, and we saw the big 5 and cheetahs and everything else!
We highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris.

Amazing experience in Kenya.
We booked the safari online some months earlier and we had everything we had agreed on and even more! Our guide, John, was exceptional: nice, funny, very profesional and really good at finding all the wild animals. We went on a 9 days safari visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, Baringo, Bogoria, Naivasha and Amboseli, the accomodation was good value with kind staff (except for Naivasha were nature was great but staff were unhelpful and not profesional) and it looked like it could be a bit too long and "too many animals" but centainly it wasn´t!!! We enjoyed every place so much as they are quite different (flamingos in Bogoria, elephants in Ambolseli, rhinos in Nakuru, lions and leopards in Masai, hipos and pelicans in Naivasha,...). So never got bored and were left willing for more in the future!!!

A perfect and tailormade trip around Uganda!
We asked Sander from Grassrootz to plan a trip that would show us the best of Uganda, and give us the opportunity to get an idea of how the Ugandans live. He succeeded perfectly!
What a fantastic way to visit this beautiful country and its people. We stayed in different kinds of hotels and guesthouses, many of which are part of community projects that support schools or help villages in other ways. That way we got a little closer to the people and also had a great stay at every stop we made.
We had a very professional driver / guide (Paul), who knew everything there was to know about the country and about the national parks, and who made us feel relaxed and at home all the time. We saw beautiful villages, landscapes and people, and in the parks we saw elephants, zebras, antilopes, lions, a leopard, giraffs, crocs, hippos, vultures having a meal ... You name it, we saw it. Thanks to Paul's keen and expereanced eye. The trip was well balanced, flexible and relaxed.
We recommend Grassrootz very warmly!

My Dream Trip with Flawless Service and Support
Right from the planning stages, my experiences with JDA was perfect. Grace was wonderful, and really got to know me and my preferences as we planned my trip. The activities and accomadations were simply perfect. My guide Henry was respectful, knowledgeable, and friendly. This was my second trip with JDA and once again I am so pleased I am planning a third.
