A Fantastic Experience
Good communication throughout . The safari itself was organised well, and wasn't cramped. We had a fantastic guide (Hoppy) who looked after us impecibly from picking us up to dropping us off. Would definitely recommend doing the 3 night classic safari with this company.

The Unexplored Eastern Uganda
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, and would certainly recommend it again. Part of it that was so nice was how personal it was. My father and I were the only ones on the tour, we had a personal driver, a personal guide at Kidepo, Kotido and Moroto. Seeing a part of Uganda that most people don't, and really couldn't up until about 5 years ago was fun. It was peaceful, beautiful, and I feel like they really try and personalize it. They have a route that we took, but seemed pretty flexible about how long we wanted to be in any one place. It was also a nice variety. I've been on safaris before where it's just game drives everyday for a week, and that's too much. This was a nice mix of wildlife, culture, and outdoors activities.
Two other things to be aware of (not criticisms, by the way, just so that you know what you're getting into). This is not a fast paced tour. You typically have an activity in the morning, and then travel in the afternoon. I enjoyed this, it wasn't rushed, but if you need every hour of everyday to be filled, this may not be the tour for you. Also, It does take some time to get places in Uganda, especially the eastern part of the country. So if you want to see it, be prepared to drive hours everyday. As I said, this didn't detract at all from the trip for me, but some may not want to be in the car as long.
Overall, I loved it, and I think Grassrootz did an excellent job. I'm actually going to be asking them for details about what tours they offer in the Southwest part of the country soon. Thanks for an amazing journey!

Good safari experience
Very good organization of the safari and good selection of the accomodations.
Maico, our guide, spoke a good Italian and he was very friendly and helpful, with a lot of knowledge about the environment and animals we were experiencing. We were lucky enough to see a lot of animals, everything we could have hoped for and more. We recommend Savannah Explorer.

Excellent safari. Good price
During our 4 days safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru,Naivasha) organized by Jocky tour we have seen all main animals, including Africa big five. Both office and safari staff was very friednly, professional and flexible to our needs.
Good velue for money, strongly recommended.

My selection of Chalo Africa for this African Safari will remain as a sweet memory for a long time.
As a matter of fact our tour to east Africa (Kenya & Tanzania) was totally planned & executed right according to the plan by Chalo Africa. Our contribution in the whole affair was only to tell them what exactly we want, the duration of time we want to spend & of course the payment. The rest every details, including the timing of the tour was their business which was executed, in a word, splendidly. The game drives, the enjoyment, the comforts in the tents & lodges, the foodings, the guides, the hospitalities, the safari vehicles, weather everything was superb. We could fulfill all our expectations which we carried before we started. Even during the tour the directors of Chalo Africa maintained a constant connection with us for continuous monitoring.

Excellent time with Wildebeest Safaris
We were a group of 10. We booked our hotels on our own and then used 2 drivers from Wildebeest Safaris to take us to the various sites, as well as provide 2 game drives daily. Our drivers Dennis and Eusty were wonderful! Both young men were extremely knowledgeable, funny and very flexible. We saw the Big 5 more than once, and in each of the game parks, Dennis used his radio to keep in contact with other drivers so we were able to quickly drive to a site if someone else had found lions/leopards/cheetahs, etc. If we ever make it back to Kenya, we will most certainly use Wildebeest, and will specifically for either Dennis or Eusty.

Excellent safari with highly knowledgeable and reliable guide
I have done several safaris in Africa and Feline Safaris Tanzania is one of the best I have joined.
Bariki is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and could even name every bird we saw. He went to great efforts to ensure I saw cheetahs and lions and his eyesight is remarkable. He can spot an animal from afar, when I needed binoculars... I also enjoyed our conversations about Tanzania and Africa.
Overall service was excellent, easy booking process with quick communication, competitive prices, reliable and knowledgeable guide, save driver & good lunch provided.
I will highly recommend Feline safaris to friends visiting Tanzania.

The best safari I have had since 1976
During the precedent safaris I have had in Kenya and Tanzania, we were 6 to 8 tourists in the same minibus during the game drives, which made it difficult to watch and photography at leisure the animals, while game drives were limited to two, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each of 2 to 3 hours, covering short distances. With Karibu Safaris, for our six-day safari, my wife and I could for a reasonable price have the minibus for us only, and we had game drives of up to 9 to 11 hours a day, both in Masai Mara and Amboseli. Our driver-guide, Arony, was exceptionally competent with 20 years of experience, friendly, anxious to show us the best, taking us to the right spot at the right time, and sparing no effort or time for this purpose. This allowed us, for example, to be among the first to reach the spot where a kill was taking place in Masai Mara, with 7 lions capturing a mature buffalo. Accommodation in lodges and food were excellent and up to our expectations. Definitely the most memorable safari we have ever had!

Like queen and king on our honeymoon thanks to Nikki
We had a dream to do an African safari for our honeymoon and thanks to Nikki and the team at Southern Africa 360 it became a reality. We wanted to go to Botswana and Namibia, but most tours did not offer this combination for our budget and our wishes (we did not want to get eaten by lions in our tents at night). We first contacted some Dutch travelling agents, who advertised to offer customised tours. When we shared our wishes, they just referred us to their website, where packaged tours were listed. Not useful. Then we started to look broader - including international organizations and thats where we found SA 360, they had decent prices for some nice lodges - it looked affordable and luxurious at the same time. There were only 5 reviews though, but every singly one of them mentioned how great Nikki was. Hesitantly at first, I contacted her, just to get overwhelmed by her willingness to help, great knowledge of Southern African countries, and excellent tips. We mailed back and forth about 5-6 times, after which our itinerary was set - our journey went through three countries and extended for 17 days (Dutch tours were offering 9 days for the same money). We even added South Africa to our journey, instead of visiting Victoria Falls, which at that time of the year would not be as spectacular (Nikki fact!). After we booked everything, Nikki still remained in touch with us and even offered us an upgrade for one of our stays, because a good deal became available. Finally during the trip itself Nikki was available on Whatasapp within seconds (even on Xmas), coordinating if things were going according to our wishes. Both times when we go double billed for something, Nikki took care of it. She also advised us extensively on all our questions. All the lodges/activities were beyond our expectations, especially the Namibia trip (amazing!!). Overall we had a great time and we felt completely safe and well taken care of. I just hope that Nikki will expand from SA 360 to World 360 so we can book all our future holidays with her.
