Great value for money
Communications were great with foot slopes. We got picked up and dropped off at the airport and they provided us with 2 extra nights at the hotel free of charge. The hotel in Arusha (Venice Hotel) was clean, had AC and even hot showers. The food was average but this was to be expected. The safari itself was excellent. Be prepared to spend a lot of time in the jeep getting to and between different parks. Having said that our driver had 15 years of experience which meant that we saw all the animals (including the big 5) we wanted to and had a fantastic time.

The most amazing African adventure ever!
We were fortunate enough to have 5 days with Walking Sticks and their team and had the most amazing African adventure. We knew before hand that they were are more basic tour group and not a luxury lodge outfit, but that is what we wanted. We are the type of travellers that want to expirience the raw taste and smell of a country and don't mind roughing it to achieve that feeling. Old, but reliable 4 wheel Toyota Landcruiser go anywhere vehicle, canvas tent, long drop toilet with canvas sides, bucket shower hanging in a tree. The food, made over an open fire was fantastic especially since my wife is lactose and gluten interolant , but they were able to cater for all her needs. Even the small things to make the experience memorable, like a gin and tonic for the lady and beer for the man at the end of a long hot but exciting day.
I could go on for ever about how the guide was able to find the right spot for game viewing and we were fortunate enough to see some really interesting game up close. Thank you Phillimon, Michael and the crew.
If you want a real experience of Africa, it's smells and sights and not too concerned with comfort, then Walking Sticks is for you!

Great experience with Migada on Safari !
Begin of February my wife and me travelled a 13 days safari with Migada Adventures Tours & Safaris. We experienced this company, the planning and the performance of the safaris as very professional: From the first personal contact on the Vacation Fair in Utrecht (NL) where we met Mike (owner/director of Migada), to the booking procedure in the following week, even though we had some special wishes about the route and the highlights.
In first instance we found the all-in price a bit high, but very soon we agreed to the great value for the price, because Mike coordinated our trips very well!
The driver/guide Laurence is one of the best we ever had: Thanks to his unbelievable geographical skills we always found the right way. We saw nearly all types of wildlife (mostly even with babies). Additionally his excellent naked eyes enabled him to detect the game far before us! Each time Laurence explained the animals’ behaviour which enabled us to understand the African wildlife better. On safari we saw numerous animals in close-up and this was truly amazing!
We drove Tarangire Park, game drives in the Lakes Manyara and Eyasi area, Ngorongoro crater and Oldupai Gorge (geological high light). In the Serengeti we visited Prof. Bernhard Grzimecks memorial. Near Arusha we walked on the tracks of Hardy Krüger and John Wayne from their movie Hatari! (Hatari/Momella Lodge).
Laurence’s knowledge of the history of Tanzania and touristic sites is comprehensive.
Whenever we asked the driver stopped for any game or viewing point to take pictures.
Next to Masai markets we also visited both tribes Datoga and Hadzabe (accompanying the latter on a bow & arrow bush hunt).
Migada’s Landcruiser was in excellent condition.
The hotels/camps were quite comfortable, according to the level of comfort that we had expected.
Unanimously we would highly recommend Migada Adventures Tours & Safaris for all your safari needs in Tanzania.

Amazing Kenya!!
We are from Buenos Aires Argentina, this one was our first time in Africa and our first Safari and everything was wonderful!!
Kenya Walking Survivors was the perfect company, Mr. Otieno responded all our questions months ahead! Any Doubt about itinerary and payment was answered at perfection!
Our guide Benson was fantastic!!! 20 years experienced on safaris, we could see the Big Five and much more!! Comfortable vehicle and the itinerary very well plan around Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivasha.
Kenya has the most incredible Parks and Animals in the world and also people are friendly, generous and kind.
We really recommend KWS as a serious and well trained company who works very hard to make everything work perfectly, the logistics for a safari is quite complex so we really apreciate the effort of KWS, if anything goes wrong they will solve it promptly.
We will choose them again for sure!

Amazing experience with an informative, eagle eyed guide!
Martin was super helpful with taking care of our groups needs and setting everything up for us. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable, and had eagle eyes! He was spotting animals that were very well hidden.

Excellent safari with Karibu Safari
We booked a 10 day Safari to visit three national parks: Abaderes, Nakuru and Massai Mara. Our guide was Boniface Ngala and we could not have been luckier. Not only is he a professional and excellent driver but he has in-depth knowledge on the wildlife of the national parks which he was very willing to share showing us and explaining to us every animal we saw. He made sure we saw a maximum of animals (including Leopards eating in the trees) and was always willing to answer any questions we had both on wildlife and on Kenyan culture in general. He made our Safari a true success, attending to our needs, being early for our departure times and helping us with any issue we had. Thank you to Karibu Safari and Boniface for a wonderful vacation.

Effortless Beauty and Adventure!
This was not our first trip to Africa, so we had some high expectations. Davis and Robert exceeded them all with their concern for our comfort and ability to customize the trip to meet our desires (mostly lots of birds and animals to view and photograph)! Our accommodations, meals and travel were lovely. Every lodge was different and beautiful. Last but not least, it was an excellent value for our investment. The cost for our 10-day safari was half the cost of our six-day safari in Tanzania the year before. And of course there were the chimpanzees and mountain gorillas, which you can't see anywhere else. We would easily do this trip again - perhaps longer stays at each lodge so we could settle in!
