I was extremely satisfied as the tour operator was courteous and helpful in my trip from beginning.
The guides and drivers are very professional and friendly, the accommodation simply superb. I highly recommend it. Amko Safaris will turn your trip into an unforgettable experience.

A dream come true - Gorilla trekking
Richard who was my tour guide is an amazing person and I give him and his company my best recommendation.
I got in contact with Richard through a friend in Denmark and this was the best thing that could ever happen.
I called Richard and told him what I wanted to do and my budget. Let me be honest I did not give him an easy job. I basically just wanted to go on Gorilla Trekking in the other end of the country, in the most expensive season, alone, on a low budget, all parameters which don’t really go hand in hand. Even though I put Richard on a hard mission he managed to deal with it, to give me my dream trip. I will be forever grateful for the experience he made possible and made my biggest dream come true.
I had the most amazing experience trekking the Gorillas in Mgahinga National Park which was a dream come true.
As getting around in Uganda consist of a lot of driving I of course got to know Richard. He is a funny, careful, understanding, and sweet young man who knows a lot, and doing a trip with him will definitely not be something to regret

wonderful trip for Safari Tanzania
We have the group of 11 peoples, I am the organizer. When we search from the TripAdvisor website for Safari Tanzania, we found Easy Travel. Through the easy travel website, I talked to Jessica almost every day, she is such great lady, answered all my questions, and give me great suggestion. Due to the big group, wiring transfer the deposit was big issue. Only rely on the website information, the 10K deposit, that was a little scaring. But we got very quick response after the wire done. Start from there, everything went well. Our tour guides, Thomas and Alex, they are so knowledgeable, and experienced, answered all the questions we had. Due to the distant with the animals, we can not see them so clear, the tour guides always showed the pictures and explained their life habits. The hotels with our comfort plus plan, those are wonderful, rooms and food, all 5 stars. At the end of trip, Easy travel gave us a surprise party in their office building which is big building. All staffs joined the party and singing the sound for us, and the company CEO gave us a talk, such the warm feeling. And we got the big cake at end of party. Great experience with Easy Travel, a lot of memory for this trip. I don't need to recommend, you know what I mean.

Great holidays organized by a professional office
Realization of stay in absolute compliance with previous plans. Discreet control by the operator allowed for optimal rest and complete satisfaction with the stay. if you think about a professionally organized holiday Mali Kale Africa Safaris seems to be the right choice.

Great experience with a really good quality/price
Hi,
It was a really great experience with a really great guide (Saloum) who was really kind to picked us in our volunteering village next to DAR and right on time. He takes really good care of us and knew a lot of things about animals, was always trying to make us have the better spot to see animals and taking pictures. The three days safari with a boat safari, a car safari in a really nice open roof 4x4, and the walking safari made a really complete trip for a good quality/price with a really good cook and nice accommodation. Totally recommend it.

EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
I went with Amko Safaris to Masai Mara for 3Days. Peter organized a safari for me to suit specific dates and this was very satisfactory. Jones our guide and driver was very obliging and was able to locate all the game I wanted to see including the wildebeest and leopard in Masai Mara.Communication from start to finish was excellent.Accommodation at Mara Sopa Lodge was excellent.Staffs were friendly & food was great
Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

Memorable, wonderful experience
We had the pleasure of visiting Tanzania several years back, long before Mussa had his own safari company. It was one of the most memorable trips we have taken. It wasn't just the safari that we still remember, but our time spent with our safari guides was unforgettable. Mussa was one of two guides assigned to our group of 10. He was wonderful- very knowledgeable, respectful, trustable, and very concerned about our well-being, especially that of the young children and elders in our group. He taught and showed us a lot- life on the Serengeti, life and culture in Tanzania, and his own personal life. We even had the pleasure of meeting his wife! We couldn't have been happier with our interactions with Mussa and our experience in Tanzania. We highly recommend Mussa; we would love to visit again!

Camping with the wildlife
What an experience, surrounded by game, camping in the midst of a reserve, morning visits by Elephants and afternoon by Zebra's. The light of the early morning 4WD rides, the afternoons by the water, the evenings by the campfire. The animal's all around - Lions, Leopards, Hippopotamus, Giraffe, Impala. We toured in open 4WD, and camped in comfortable tents with beds, hot showers and portable toilets. Campfire breakfasts and dinners, knowledgeable, friendly local guides. We couldn't have ask for more

Simon of EastCo still owes us more than $9,000 after three years. DO NOT BOOK.
It is absolutely criminal that Simon and EastCo are still taking bookings. I should have written this review earlier, but every time I think about it I get a terrible pit in my stomach. My husband and I organized a 30 day safari with Simon in July 2015. The reviews were all good, so we felt okay about it. But then the first day, no one came to pick us up at our hotel, which should have been the first sign of trouble. The next week and a half was probably some of the most stressful travel I've ever experienced. I won't get into the nitty gritty, but I will give one detail: our safari vehicle got repossessed in the middle of the night when we were at a remote safari camp, because Simon hadn't paid the bills. At every turn we were asked to pay out of pocket or held behind, because Simon and Eastco hadn't paid. Finally, we cut our trip short. We ended with a copy of Simon's passport and a statement, in writing, and signed, that he would repay us for services not rendered. He's paid us back only $900 of over $10,000 owed. We're still waiting. DO NOT BOOK WITH EASTCO. You will have your money stolen. I would be happy to discuss more with anyone who has questions, and to share the written document of Simon's promising us our money back (you can email me using the link above this review). This company should be flagged as fraudulent on all safari sites. Terrible. Just terrible.

Trip of a Lifetime
I've always wanted to go on an African Safari - and that came true for my 30th birthday celebration. After months of research and back and forth with several agencies, my husband and I decided to work with African Qingshan - and couldn’t be more pleased! The whole experience went beyond our expectations. The planning was led by Thompson (based out of Arusha), who was very responsive, giving us recommendations and being receptive to our feedback. He took into consideration everything we wanted to see and gave us several options to choose from. Planning a trip from afar can make some feel skeptical, but Thompson made us feel very comfortable. Upon arriving in Tanzania we were welcomed by Thompson, who talked us through our itinerary once again. We did our first game drive at the Serengeti. Chicho was our driver, and he was amazing! He clearly knew his way around the parks, knew about the animals and the local Masai tribes. Chicho was extremely patient and had such great energy - making our experience truly special. We saw SO many animals, it was awesome. During our trip we visited the Serengeti, Ngorongoro (Ndutu and Ngorongoro Crater), Manyara and Tarangire. Our accommodations varied from luxury tents, to lodges, to hotels - all selected based on preference and budget. None of them disappointed - we had wonderful stays and the hospitality was incredible! We had a chance to meet one of the African Qingshan partners, Danny, who wanted to make sure we’re having a good time. After our Safari adventure, the journey continued to Zanzibar - which was beautiful. Thompson also helped set up a guide for a tour of Stone Town, and a boat trip to Mnemba island. Overall, this trip was even better than anticipated. We can’t stop looking at pictures and bragging about it to our friends! We recommend African Qingshan, they were very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were having an unforgettable trip!
