The perfect option for amazing safari experiences
When I was looking for Safari tour in Kenya by safaribooking.com, I was confused because of too many company and similar information each other. But, I selected East Africa Tours and Safaris(E.A.T.S) because I can easily ask information & requirement and they immediately responded to me by E-mail and What's app. So, I easily arranged my schedule by E.A.T.S.
I think that Safari tour in Masai-mara or other spot is similar because you just take a similar car and similar route and similar accommodation same as other tourist. Most of all, communication to Safari company is important. When my luggage delayed from Bangkok, when I was looking for 1-day tour in Nairobi because of I stayed 1 day more in Nairobi, I could easily do it all by E.A.T.S.
I strongly recommend E.A.T.S to everyone. Have a amazing safari experiences with E.A.T.S.

A remarkable safari, you won't forget.
We went on a four days, three nights Safari with Stanley and Soko Four including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro NP in February 2018.
The safari was very well organised and Stanley is a great guide, who knows very much about the wildlife in Tanzania. We saw a lot of animals, including the big five and were fully satisfied. At the NPs we had a lot time to find and oberserve the animals. If you are on the road with Stanley you will experience how much he likes the nature and the animals. He is a nature lover and cares about the nature and animals and treat them with respect. Besides the great experience on the road, the equipment (4 x 4 vehicle, tents and sleeping bags) were fine and the food very tasty (thanks to Soko Four).
All in one a very good deal and highly recommendable. It did not felt like just another safari to Stanley for us, but like he wants to show us the wildlife of his country with pride, which it really deserves.

Great experience!
We booked a 10 day safari for 5 people, and traveled to Seronera, Ndutu, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. We just returned and had a wonderful trip with Sunny Safaris. Our guide, Raphael, was amazing! He seemed to have a knack for finding animals that no other drivers had seen. We had hoped to see a few lions and maybe a cheetah - we ended up seeing almost 40 lions and at least 3 cheetahs up close. Raphael was very informative, friendly, and easy to talk to. He listened to what we wanted and planned accordingly.
Our cook, Chalice, was also great! He came up with some really amazing food, even when we camped at the special camp in Ndutu with no running water and no electricity. He was very attentive to what we liked and didn't like, and always made sure we had plenty of great food to eat (his samosas and soups were the best!).
Booking the trip was also very easy - we corresponded via email with Masha, who was always quick to answer any questions, and helped set up a personalized itinerary for us.
We had a great experience with Sunny Safaris, and would recommend this company to anyone looking to book a safari. Ask for Raphael (driver/guide) and Chalice (cook)!

Amazing, well organized, fantastic safari!
Our experience with World Air and Travel was seamless from the start. Elias was responsive, information and extremely helpful. John, our guide and driver was amazing. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and an incredible resource for us. The accommodations were varied but generally outstanding. We used WATT on the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. We did the northern circuit and Zanzibar but I'm sure they just as efficient and experienced in other areas. Would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about a safari to Tanzania.
12 days photographic trip to Kruger National Park
The wildlife in the park at times was a bit sparse, which could have been because of the drought when i was there but we always found something around the next corner, but mostly plenty of animals around.The first few hours every morning was the most productive.The accommodation was clean and tidy. At Oilfants it worth getting a bungalow with a view of the river. You could get what you needed from the shops (milk, bread, meat, sweats). The restaurants where fine, not a lot of options but the steaks where the most consistent over 4 camps and was cooked perfectly.I would highly recommend a self drive trip to the Kruger Park, and staying 2 to 3 nights in each camp so you can get the most from each area.The weather was around 26 to 36c most days with one night off rain. To get the best from a trip to Kruger you need to put the time in and keep looking and at times just stop and just wait.

An awesome lifetime experience.
We traveled to South Africa on the Queen Mary 2 (from Southampton) and upon arrival in Cape Town we were treated to an absolutely splendid view from the sea of Table Mountain and the city. We spent several days on Cape Town and were thoroughly impressed with the city and its surroundings (but not the water shortage......). We took a day tour to Stellenbosch (booked online with “WineFlies”) and were impressed with the quality of the guide and - of course - the wine. We drove up the east coast, staying in Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth. From PE we did a self-drive tour of the Addo elephant reserve. It was outstanding. We then headed further north, staying in Umtata, Umhlaga, and Richards Bay/Empangeni (an important family location). All hotels were excellent, and reasonably priced. stayed near Newcastle at a first rate recently-built hotel - Vulintaba - which is surrounded by mountains and next to a brand new golf course. Worth the detour.
Our final destination was Joburg. We had fortunately booked a hotel in Rosebank, because that is where the hop-on hop-off leaves from (well worth it for those, like us, new to Joburg). The highlight in Joburg was the Apartheid Museum. Very well done, and very moving. It should be visited by anyone going to Joburg.
Our final four days were on the safari that we had booked online with Jewel of Africa, having first browsed your very useful website. Because we had driven nearly 4,000kms since our arrival in Cape Town, it was important to book a safari that included flights from Joburg to Hoedsprit, and not more driving. Jewel of Africa delivered in spades. Staff were helpful throughout the booking process (including difficulties paying in Rand through Visa). They were especially helpful when, on the day of our departure on safari, the airline we were booked on (CEMair) ran into “operational difficulties” (they had safety issues.....). We stayed at Phelwana lodge in a brand new “tent”next to a dam with hippos. At 5pm on the first day we were toured around the property and saw many animals. The first full day was spent at Kruger NP. Our guide (from Tally-Ho) was excellent, very well informed, and extremely helpful. The second day we toured Manyuleti, a private reserve with open fences to Kruger. Lots of off-road driving - which brought us within feet of prides of lions, leopards, elephants etc. Really amazing! Our booking was all-inclusive, and the food and wine at Phelwana were extremely good. Jewel of Africa did an outstanding job. I recommend them highly.
Bottom line? South Africa and its people, scenery, accommodations and food are superb!

Visit Uganda wildlife, meet people & climb Nyiragongo active volcano in Congo
Glad I came across Green Hills Ecotours on my search for Uganda and Congo tours while in Africa January 2018! we can not forget stories; culture, meet locals and enjoy the Uganda wildlife; Queen Elizabeth and highly enjoyed visiting mountain Gorillas and climb nyiragongo the world's largest lava lakes was difficult but on reasonable price and 100% worth it! Innocent our 10days trip organizer &Tour Guide in Uganda and DRCongo went beyond our expectations, was a stellar tour guide. From processing our visas and assist on our border formalities, He shared lots of information, very friendly and an expert in ecotourism! What a pleasure. My mum(63yrs) and I had an amazing trip with Green Hills Ecotours and I highly recommend them to everyone visiting East Africa.

Wonderful trip, great organization and unforgettable experiences.
We were at Kenya for three weeks. Our safari trip lasted 11 days and Sam from Bush - thorns Adventures was with us all the time. Before our trip he recommended places and also answered all our questions. With him we planned our trip easily without problems. Whole trip was great, he knows a lot of things about Kenya, animals and nature. He answered all our questions again and also helped us with accommodation in camps. We visited Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo west, Kakamega forest, Lake Naivasha, Hells gate, Mount Longonot and Lake Victoria. In Masai Mara we had also driver (a friend from Sam) and he was great! Actually he took us to nice places and always very close to the animal. And his driving skills are unbelievable! We are glad that we chose Bush-thorns Adventures for our trip :)
