The gorillas’ feet resemble that of a human being
When scientists said that our closest relatives are gorillas, I wondered why. Actually, it never made sense for me since from the few videos that I had watched about these animals, they had too much fur compared to any human being. Although I’m not a scientist, I now believe what they said because I observed it. Gorillas are so playful, every time they try to show their gymnastics. As one was playing, it flipped itself over and I managed to take a photo of its feet. I was just taking random photos; I never had it in thought that I should take a photo of its feet. When I went to my hotel and a little relax at the couch, I got out my camera to see some of the images that I had taken. Wow, there I was with a photo of a gorilla’ feet. This was a treasure to me because Immediately, I counted the toes and they were five. I said to myself, did I take a photo someone’s feet or it for the gorillas, I realized it was for the gorillas. They really resemble us some way. This was a science exhibition for me-so much entertaining and educative.
A piece of advice though, you must be in good health to do a gorilla trekking safari because you shall be required to climb mountains which some meters above sea level. Thank you gorilla tour booking safaris for a wonderful tour to Uganda

A superbly executed tour down to the last detail. Our guide, Yusuph, was fantastic!
From the first contact with E-trip, we had an excellent experience. Ben is extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions with patience and confidence. Every transfer, meal, and accommodation, was handled beautifully. Ben helped us balance cost and extravagence in every part of the trip by breaking down each expense. I greatly appreciated being able to build the safari that was exactly right for us. The best part of the trip was our guide Yusuph. He knew every animal, bird, and plant. He answered all our questions about identification, animal behavior, geology, culture, and history. Yusuph knew exactly how to position the vehicle to get the right lighting for our photography and to have the best views of the animals. On several occasions he moved the vehicle to the perfect spot so the lions and leopards came directly towards us! Unbelievable pictures! Yusuph worked extremely hard to make sure we saw all that we wanted to, including driving for long hours to the western boarder of the Serengeti to make sure we saw huge herds of wildebeest. Our safari and our whole experience with E-trip exceeded our wildest expectations!

Excellent experience - 3 days in Masai Mara
We (Father 55 + son 24) went for a 3 days safari in the very first days of April 2015.
During booking Paul was very responsive on mail - and upon arrival in Nairobi he and our driver (Steven) were at our hotel exactly as planned.
The rest of our safari was just as well organised and we had the luck to be the only two persons in the Toyota Landcruiser - a luxury!
Steven was a very good guide and driver - really gave us a perfect safari w. 3 of the "big five", cheetah (!) etc. - and got us very close so we could take great photos.
The camp was superb - kind staff and luxurious "tents".
All and all: A perfect first-time safari experience - and I'll gladly recommend ketsafaris.

Ruaha N.P. with Ernest is a must
Ernest is a guide who love his work. He is an expert of Ruaha N.P. We had a very good safari with him. The cooker was excellent we ate very well. He looked after us very well since we arrived in Tanzania worrying about everything

Fully hands off and enjoyed the ride
We used Safari Hub for a 7 day tour of the Northern Circuit. Having done 0 research, they fully defined our itinerary, including 2 nights in Tarangire which we ended up liking more than the more famous Serengeti, so very glad that we let ourselves be taken there.
David our guide seemed to always know where to go and when, so much so that we ended up seeing every major animal and more, including very unique and private hang outs with lions.
This being our honeymoon, our 2 nights in Serengeti were upgraded to a luxury tent, quite a unique experience, but even the "basic" assortment of Serena / Sopa lodges made for very comfortable and stunning settings.
Highly recommend

Best Safari and driver
Safarihub is a professional and efficient tour operator. I was much impressed by the quality of their services, choice of accommodation and reasonable price as compared to several other operators offering similar packages. I especially want to thank my driver guide Juma who really knew his stuff and made the trip ever so joyful.

Best safari experience ever
From the moment I contacted William from Bramwel Safaris, I knew we had chosen the right company. His communication with is left no stone unturned, and he planned the ideal safari for us. Prices were much cheaper than other companies offering the same tours, so I thought they would scrimp on the accommodation. I was very wrong. We had an excellent standard of accommodation, with Ngorongoro being the real highlight for wildlife and 5-star accommodation. Our trip to Zanzibar was wonderful, once again having excellent accommodation right on the beach. Our safari guide Julius was given the nickname "Eagle eyes" as he could spot animals where we couldn't see anything. He gave us all the time we needed to get those 'once in a lifetime' photos. As I had injured my knee, and would have trouble getting in and out of the vehicle, Julius went out of his way to have special steps made for me to ensure my safety and comfort - that was going beyond expectations. Highly recommend using Bramwel Safaris - you won't be sorry. They are the best and provide very comfortable travel for those bumpy safari roads. Enjoy your "African massage" with Bramwel Safaris!

3day Iringa/Selous safari
We travelled off season with a 5y old, and Kathy was great in adapting the trip to our need. It all worked out very well, and the safari camp was lovely. Great service and great people, can easily recommend Breakdown Safaris.

fantastic holiday courtesy of wecam safaris family
It was time for me and my fiance to take our annual leave and since she preferred Kenya and we booked with wecam safaris
Their services are exceptional. You are made to feel at home miles away from home. Masai Mara rocked. the exclusive game drives were extremely fruitful. Your drivers rock. He knows mara better than anyone else. I was particularly impressed by the early morning drive. I and Mitchell enjoyed having to watch Lions hunt in the early mornings and lunch sessions.
Kenyan white sand beaches were exeptional. We wont forget the experience wehad at Diani beaches.
Thank you the Wecamfaimily and special greetings from Mitchell
