It was a memorable and worth the price
Me and my friends booked a gorilla tracking safari in the Mgahinga 3 months ahead. StarMount Safaris kept in touch throughout until I arrived in Uganda. The tracking began early in the morning and the guide was very patient and made sure we saw the Mountain Gorillas which was the highlight of the safari. We were able to interact with the local communities (Batwa) which was quite interesting. I look forward to booking with StarMount Safaris for my next adventure.

Everything was the way i wanted
rekking Mountain Kilimanjaro was one of the best things I have done in my life. It was not so easy but with the help of StarMount Safaris’ team I was able to concur Mount Kilimanjaro! The experience was priceless; words cannot begin to explain what my experience was… It was truly a memorable experience.

Comfortable competent congenial
We were beyond happy with Godson as our guide, the safari itself and the service around it. Godson knows how to make his clients to feel comfortable, he is a very competent guide with all the experiece and animal knowlegde he has. He is easy to be around with and a very good driver. We enjoyed our trip to several national parks and will never forget the beautiful landscapes and nature scenes. We saw everything we were excited for and were surprised by way more than we expected. About the food during the trip: it flattered our tummies! :)
We also enjoyed that we could plan the trip indivitually with him and he cared a lot about what we wanted.
We can highly recommand Godson Adventures to anyone who wants to have a one in a lifetime experience in Tanzania.

Once in a lifetime experience, great organisation, great guide (Salim) great everything
kili slope did the part of our safari that took place in Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngoro-Ngoro, Tarangire). The communication before the trip went via our travel agency in Kenya, Right Choice (also great). We had an excellent guide (Salim/Simon), who did wonderful game drives with us, provided a lot of information about the animals but also about his country and was a lot of fun to be with because of his sense of humor. He was also helpful in organizing my daughter's birthday surprise, very reliable, a very good driver, one couldn't possibly expexct more out of a safari trip. We saw the big five and a lot more other animnals and learned so much about the animnals but also about Tanzania. The management also was very interested in our well-being, insisted on meeting us in Arusha and even brought us a cold coke as a joke, because we requested it as a condition of being satisfied. Good humour there also. So altogehter I can recommend kili slope and especially our guide Salim/Simon.

The best and fastest response with fab deals.
I was replied to my inquiry within the day and found them very interactive and willing to wok on my schedule. They gave me amazing options and I had a very smooth stay and trip. Right from the minute we met over the internet to the time we actually met in Nairobi and then the further arrangements for travel around Kenya; they organised everything for us. It is one integrated service provider so I did not have o run around - Nairobi pick up and transfer to Hotel, Safari transfers, boarding lodging everywhere, park fees.... Everything was done. There were no hiccups and the service was second to none. In short :-
1. Their communication with me was prompt and perfect
2. I was very happy with the service I received
3. The tour was fantastic.
4. It was worth every penny spent
I would highly recommend this company anytime.

Best honeymoon we could have asked for!
We had the best best trip with Ken, Jared and Barack. They were so warm and welcoming, it felt like we were on a big family vacation the whole time. Everything went perfectly, the food was delicious and the trips and views were outstanding. We started in Kampala and then visited Queen Elizabeth national park, then Kisoro, then gorillas and Mt Nyiragongo, in Virunga national park, and then last but not least, Kigali. It was incredible. Ken and Jared have such a wealth of knowledge and such great banter that it made even long drives a breeze. Barack met us at the Congo border and helped get our visas and navigate Congo very easily. The Nyiragongo hike was hard but definitely worth it for the views and the awesome lava (literally looked like a boiling pot of soup made of fire), and even the food at the top!! And our last day in Kigali was so powerful and then ended with such a lovely late lunch at the pork joint. We can't thank you enough for making the start to our honeymoon so so memorable!! Can't wait for our next trip back!

3 Day Safari in Tarangire National Park & Ngorongoro Crater
My two cousins and I had the pleasure of enjoying a 3-day/2-night safari with Godson in Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Godson was highly recommended to me by a friend of a friend who had done a homestay with Godson's family several years ago as part of a study abroad program. From the moment I reached out to Godson to inquire about availability and itineraries, he was nothing but helpful, professional, and accommodating. He responded to my emails very promptly and was willing to work within our budget to design a safari package suitable for our group. After a night in Arusha, we headed out to Tarangire National Park and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon game drive. We opted to sleep inside the park at the public campsite for the first night. Godson provided the tents, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, and pillows for camping. His friend Chili was our personal chef and made us a delicious Christmas Eve dinner of roasted chicken! While on safari, Godson knew the park like the back of his hand and always knew exactly where to find the animals. He was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna inside the park, and we enjoyed looking at his animal and plant guides. His safari vehicle is very comfortable and spacious, including a great pop-off roof and a cooler to keep our drinks cold. I cannot recommend Godson and Chili enough and hope that you will consider him on your next trip! Safari Njema!

I had an amazing solo safari in Tanzania with EastCo!
As a female travelling to Tanzania alone, I was quite anxious about this trip. I sent emails to around 80 different companies stating what I was looking for, along with some questions addressing my main concerns. I was really impressed by the detailed and personalized response that I received from EastCo, and after a brief correspondence with Simon, I decided to book with them. And I'm so glad I did.
I did a private safari for 10 days, starting in Arusha and visiting Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu, Seronera Valley, Tarangire and Shira Plateau at the foot of Kilimanjaro. EastCo arranged for nature hikes at Ngorongoro and Tarangire, as well as a night drive, also at Tarangire. I was also able to visit a remote school. All great experiences. The itinerary was perfect and the accommodation was all fabulous. The safari itself was amazing. Thanks to my wonderful guide (Bernard) and awesome driver (Wilson), I felt safe and comfortable the whole time, which as a solo female traveller was very important for me. As it was my first safari, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I saw so many animals at close range and had a number of special experiences.
There were a few hiccups, but nothing that would stop me from booking with EastCo again. There were a few problems with the vehicle, but Wilson was able to fix them and get us back on the "road" in no time. I was supposed to camp one night on Shira Plateau, but there was an issue with permits, so we were unable to camp. That was a bit disappointing, but the lodge they arranged at short notice was beautiful. There was also a problem at the gate at Kilimajaro NP, but again, it was sorted out with relative efficiency.
All in all, I had a fantastic experience with East African Safari and Touring Company, and I can't wait to do another safari with them!
