Uganda, the Pearl of Africa
Thanks to Speedway Safaris for taking me and my wife around Uganda on our 15 day holiday safari tour. We liked the rhinos at Ziwa rhino ranch but the top of the falls in Murchison falls national park reminded of the famous Victoria falls. The roaring that creates a misty atmosphere is just unbelievable. We visit the falls at a time some Uganda tour operators had gone there for their press conference aimed at saving it from the planned power dam. If this plan is effected, Uganda would have lost rare a vital treasurer. From Murchison having done a game drive a cruise on the Nile, we headed for Kibale forest, seeing chimps and other primates confirmed further that Uganda is seated on wildlife treasurers that should be conserved for ages. The Sempaya hot springs in Semuliki, the Kazinga channel boat voyage plus driving through the large Ishasha sector in search of the tree climbing lions, which we indeed saw will never come off our safari memories.
Our guide Richard Tayebwa is so professional that he handled us beyond our expectations, very caring and full of wildlife knowledge. Finally, the peak of our safari was the gorilla trekking encounter in Bwindi impenetrable national park. We visited a gorilla family unit under the leadership of a huge silverback that was so protective of its members. Seeing adults and youngsters play was much joyous. Our trip end at Lake Bunyonyi where relaxed for 2 days, the views of the lake island were spectacular. The accommodation during our trip were well chosen and they fulfilled all our dietary and sleeping preferences. During our longer trip, we discovered that Uganda is rich in wildlife, birds, nice weather, magnificent water bodies and above all very hospitable people everywhere we went. If you confirm a trip with speedway, it is advisable to request them allocate Richard to your holiday tour, you will appreciate me after the tour.

An unforgettable moment
From the long trip that we had from Texas to Nairobi. We were happy to meet with Kennedy at the Airport and he passed us through our forth coming tour. We had a day to spare in Nairobi and Kennedy gave us a great tour at the Nairobi National Park accompanied with The Sheldrick and Giraffe Centre. The following day we woke up to our tour to the Amboseli and Tsavo National Park. Kenbedy topped it up with a scenario Watamu finale. Thank you Kennedy and i will recommend Doyen Tours everytime and anytime my friend is travelling to Kenya. Merry Christmas and thank you.

More than expected!
Booked all Tanzania’s tour with them. Margaret gave me a lot of support on everything and very easy to get in touch with her (via whatsapp or email), always available for answer all my doubts (at any day/time!) and not just those referring to my tours, but for everything i need to know before and during i was in Tanzania. She was always online to check on me and gave me different options and comments on what to do. She also arrange all my transfer for any place i need to go. For Zanzibar i booked: Safari blue tour and Stone Town / Prison Island: i had a guide just for me, dedicated to take me around the mention places, explaining everything and answer all my questions. For Safari Blue tour, excellent service and tour!! Both of them a MUST if you are in Zanzibar. For Serengeti, i booked a 7 days/6 nights tour. Just wonderful! There were always on time for pick up, great box lunches during the game drives and always willing to solve doubts and help. Much more than expected, for sure!!
An experience unlike any other
The trip was unbelievable from start to finish. Before the trip began Explorer Kenya gave us a indepth itinerary of the entire week and were responsive and detailed in all our email correspondence. When we arrived our tour guide and driver David was there and ready to go. We drove to our first resort and it was an exceptional beautiful place with an extraordinary staff. We saw such incredible scenery and so much wildlife, and the whole trip was made even better by our fantastic tour guide David, who was charismatic, funny, and very knowledgable about all the wildlife as well as the country and its people. Over the course of a week we traveled to Maasai Mara, Hell's Gate National Park at Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli national park. During that time we saw lions, giraffes, wildebeest, crocodiles, elephants, and even a cheetah. It was truly an experience unlike any other.

Good personal service with off the beaten track travel
Before the trip we had good communication with the travel agency by whatsapp and email. Safaritours were great in different settings of the country (kenya) and during the trip there was also good communication. We were offered lots of different trips with a motorbike tour and a good hike up Mt O’lolokwe, which we hardly saw any other tourist!

Eventful Day
It was a smooth process booking the game drive with the owner Shaheen. We had a very informative and thoughtful friendly driver who made the tour absolutely wonderful. We spotted all the big 5 and had a lovely day.

Trip of a Lifetime Perfectly Arranged and Scheduled
Sun Safaris communicated well throughout the entire process. The selected recommendation for all three lodges was excellent, all different from the other. At Chacma, we saw the big 5 with an expert seasoned guide and bird expert, even a leopard in pursuit of an impala. Our evening safaris were lovely with a special viewing of a white rhino and enjoyable sundowner drinks. At Nottens in Sabi Sands, we had close-up views of lions, wild dogs, hyena, black rhino, zebras and many, many birds. Our guide, also a bird expert, helped us identify our many pictures. The Chundukwa lodge in Zambia was completely different in a very special way: the hosts were very friendly and courteous and we were able to have a traditional Zambian meal, including washing hands ceremony. They also offered sunset river cruises and horse rides, all included. The trip to Chobe was special, but the very best part of this lodge was the proximity to helicopter rides over and a wild rafting trip in Victoria Falls. We had the time of our lives--unforgettable moments with seeing animals in their natural state and being with such gracious and interesting people. This trip, one of our bucket lists, not only surpassed expectations, but created memories and excitement about the beauty of the land and people in South Africa, Kruger Park, and Zambia and Botswana.

A beautiful experience
We went for a tour to the Mara which was planned by Doyen Safaris. We were met with Kennedy from the Airport and he briefed us on our tour (3 days and 2 nights). Kennedy was very professional and he took care of all travel plans from the Airport to Mara and back. I will recommend Doyen Safaris again and again. Kennedy is the best.

Amazing company and guide, will recommend to everyone.
My experience with The Expert Holidays Ltd far surpassed my expectations. This was a magical 4days wildlife safaris and 3 days Beach holiday package in Zanzibar and I will think about it forever.The choices were overwhelming, with what seems like an infinite amount of tour operators existing in the area, but I was so happy with my choice. Kassim knowledge is incredible, the accommodations were clean and picturesque, the food was much more than you'd expect , the safari and transfer car was modern and spacious. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this company and the owner Kassim.I hope to be back soon in the near future.Will recommend to all my family and friends.
