Excellent service - above and beyond five star
Clyde at Tailormade Africa was endlessly patient and worked tirelessly to customise our holiday. This was our first family safari with our 7, 11 and 14 year old and Clyde was an absolute delight to deal with as he answered my endless questions with his obvious in depth knowledge of the area. I changed my mind as to where we wanted to go, when we wanted to go, for how long etc and Clyde coped with admirable good cheer with the constant change of itinerary. He was also there to help us on the telephone once we arrived in Tanzania as my daughter developed a terror of flying on the small planes. He researched the carrier's safety record and suggested we scheduled a phone conversation with my daughter and Clyde before the flight. Clyde phone therapy session worked and he managed to calm her fears enough that she did get on the next flight. Sadly we had to cut short our holiday for family reasons, and Clyde was again on hand to help us re-arrange flights and transport. Before our holiday was cut short we had a wonderful safari at a lovely lodge with delicious food and great guides. I can't recommend Tailormade Africa enough. Without doubt the best travel agent I have ever used.

Thank You Kerry and Pembury, for an awesome trip!
We just got back from a trip to Zimbabwe and South Africa. I started planning this over a year ago with Kerry. Since we visited a number of places and we had a mix of wildlife and citylife as the focus of this trip, our itinerary had a number of moving pieces. Kerry took care of all aspects of this trip; be it an airport transfer, day tours with guides, safari bookings and air transfers. Everything that she helped plan was delightful. I am impressed with her excellent customer service skills, knowledge of the area and simply working patiently with clients to tailor the itinerary. Her recommendations suited our interests perfectly and I look forward to working with her again for another trip to the region next year. Thank you Kerry and Pembury Tours

Good recommendations for Beach holiday
We gave our budget to Intek Travel and they found us some options to choose from on our beach holiday in Kenya. We enjoyed our stay and loved the beach, service and activity options availed to us. They make sure we spend our money in the best ways possible. Thanks!

Excellent 3-day Masai Mara Safari with Johan as our guide
We had an excellent experience on our 3-day Masai Mara Safari on very short notice with Bison Safaris. Maggie, the coordinator was incredibly fast and accommodating and we felt in good hands right from the start. Johan, our guide, was also very knowledgeable and made our entire time on safari pleasant and enjoyable. The good reviews on this website and the good reputation of Bison Safaris are deserved and if we had to do it over again, the only thing we might have changed is extending our stay in Masai Mara to spend more time in this jewel of Africa.

Amazing honeymoon !
We had the perfect trip thanks to Benson safaris. The communication prior to the trip was clear and to the point, and the organisation was good all along. We had not picked the luxury accomodation but were still very satisfied with the different lodges and service.
But most of all, what made our trip outstanding was our amazing guide: passionate about wildlife, serious, confident and with a sense of humour :)
Thank you Benson Safaris !

Great Trip
I thought our trip with Migration Venture was fantastic. They thought of everything! Our guide, Ninah, was an expert on the habits of birds and animals and where to find them. It was obvious that he loved his work and he was really good at it. All the guides were courteous and thoughtful and helped to make this trip unforgettable.

Thank you Kenya Walking, you are the best!
We, a family of 4, with youngest member being 10 years old, visited Kenya for ~2 weeks, in late July/early August' 2017 with Kenya Walking. Boy oh boy, it was a dream trip and Mr. Otieno and team made it to be a wonderful experience of life, for all of us. It can not get better than this.
We had done some research and decided to book our tour with Kenya Walking. Kenya Walking has it's own fleet of good vehicles and great knowledgeable employee base. There are no other middlemen involved and we found them to be very reasonably priced.
We had requested for luxury accommodations and that's what we got. Great hotels with very comfortable living, strategically located and great food with cuisine options of Kenyan, Western and Indian cuisines, all included in the package.
They guided us and customized the itinerary per our request. Mr. Otieno is very responsive and usually reverts back within a few hours on any emails/queries. Very good in communication and easy to work with. Once we got there, they took good care of us and it did feel that they were trying their best all the time to make it the best possible experience for all of us.
We had Mr. Anthony as our tour guide and driver. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, flexible and caring professional. He is very safe driver too. It really felt like a family of 5. With Anthony we had great sightings, lot of fun and tons of learning,.
There was an over-payment situation at one of the hotel for some reason, hotel did not refund it right away, Mr. Otieno followed up with the hotel directly after we left and secured us the payment back. What else can you ask for, really?
Thank you the team at Kenya Walking. We are already considering for our next trip, the Gorilla Trek with Kenya Walking in about a year or two. :-)

The most beautiful roadtrip with the kindest service; seeing the most beautiful animals in the world
The Safari was fantastic! The communication was 100% on point. We knew what we were doing, when we were supposed to do it. The living accommodations were beautiful! The first resort we stayed at was right off the Nile, you could hear the hippos and other animals; very peaceful. The last hotel in Kampala before going home was extraordinary, better than anything I could have ever expected. The local food is fantastic, we picked some up along the way and we couldn't have been happier. The safari was fantastic. We saw elephants, giraffes, lions and even a leopard. I would suggest bringing some binoculars for the far away animals such as the leopard because you have to stay on the road with the vehicle, but a game warden joins the tour and they are extremely knowledgeable. We saw way more animals but without going to in depth, it was like I was in a national geographic episode. This has been the best experience of my life and I highly recommend you book through Uzuri.

Fantastic 4 days with the Axis Africa Safaris
We didn't have any problems at all from the beginning: when we book the Safari, until we say bye to them. Ease to communicate by email or by phone . Lenox always was there for us. Very long drive from Nairobi airport to get to Safari, but with our amazing driver Johny time gone quick. Many thanks for Johny for good driving, lost of information ... Driver with amazing personality!

I was part of a larger group that booked Migration Venture Africa for our safari adventures.
The people who are part of Migration Venture Africa were all great, as I found all Tanzanians to be. The company was very attentive to any issues or concerns, however my only request would be that they invest in newer safari vehicles. The vehicle I was in ended-up breaking down along side the road, after a day and half fidgeting with the radiator.
