well organized and given africa no glitches.
Journeys makes sure your trip is well organized with no glitches. Given the complicated transportation system of getting in and out of game parks its amazing how well organized they are. they also have a deep understanding of all where to stay and given your interests recommendations that might be slightly different that the most well known parks.

meru slopes is reliable and offers fair prices.
The communication was verry good. Via whatsapp you'll get immediately a respons from geoffrey, this works good. In overal I had a good safari, we've seen a lot of animals en the food was great. The only negative thing was the guide. He was not very interactive with us and he didn't give any information about the animals we saw. It was more like: "look there a lion!" . And in the end We had to pay to much for the tips. The guid told us to give him 40 dollar and the cook also 40 dollar. That was 80 dollar tips for a couple. But Overal I had a great tour and meru slopes arranged it really good,.

Exciting, varied and memorable 8-day family safari in Uganda
Adventure Vacation Safaris proved to be very quick and efficient in responding to questions and flexible about making changes to fixed itineraries. The safari was well organised, the vehicle was in good condition, the driver/guide friendly, competent and knowledgeable, accommodation lived up to expectations. A great experience which can be recommended to others.

Our 10 day tour of Uganda including gorilla trekking and visiting chimpanzees was superb.
From the moment we contacted Africa Tours Adventure they were efficient and courteous and understood exactly the itinerary we wanted. The accommodation was excellent – and in several cases included some of the Best game lodges we have stayed in. Our driver guide Patrick could not have been better. We thoroughly enjoyed all our game drives with him and his company throughout. Our 10 days with this company fulfilled all our expectations and made us eager to return. I could not recommend this company highly enough. I Should also say that this company offer good value compared with many others.

Got back today from a great six day safari
Just got back from a six day safari visiting Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with my daughter, her friend and my partner. We had a fantastic time with Andrew as our guide. It's the third time that I have visited Kenya and this was the best trip of them all. Distances were long but with Andrew driving that was not an issue and he worked hard to make sure that we saw the Big Five and the Wildebeest Migration. The vehicle was a customised land cruiser which was great for the four of us enabling us to tackle the toughest terrain.
Communication was good with the company and I was able to pay part of the cost on a credit card for additional security. Overall the food and accommodation was great and the safari as good as I could have expected.
We had a great time.

Excellent tour, pleasant and enjoyable
It was our first trip to Africa and we found that the level of service in Africa, especially that is provided by Easy Travel much better than expected. Norah (the customer relationship staff) was very quick in responding to all of our emails. Emillian, who accompanied us throughout the trip, is a very good, reliable, and knowledgeable driver guide. He even found my phone that was dropped from the jeep somewhere in Serengeti. He has eyes like a hawk and spotted animals that we could not see on our own. Hotels, camps, food, and facilities were very comfortable and enjoyable (we booked the 'Comfort' package and it lived to our expectation). The only thing that did not surprise us was the village tour that involves a visit to a village very similar to where we come from (Indonesia). The village trip should have been replaced by the much sought Maasai village visit (which we eventually did with additional fee). We were also not very comfortable doing the bargaining with the locals at the Maasai village. Otherwise, Easy Travel is fully recommended!

Excellent 5-day private Kenya Safari
Private family safari by Landcruiser to Aberdare, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara National Parks. Efficient and responsive service. All details were as expected: accommodation, locations visited, transport. Friendly, knowledgeable guide with good driving skills. Vehicle was somewhat old but completely fit-for-purpose. Overall an excellent experience which can be highly recommended.

Good
I just picked a 7days lodge safari with Africa wise safaris. I am happy to say that I was extremely lucky to go with this company. From the beginning of our conversation, everything went smoothly. Kelvin responded very quickly to all of my emails and I was very much satisfied for his great helpful information and advices. The safari was very amazing. My Guide Elisante was very knowledgeable, friendly and charming guide. He knows a lot about the bush. He showed me almost everything I wanted to see. Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Lake manyara were all beautiful wildernesses with different unique contents. I saw Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Impalas, buffaloes, Cheetah etc even Rhino in Ngorongoro Crater. Accommodation plus meals at Country Lodge, Halisi Tented Camp and Ilboru lodge in Arusha were perfect. I will always recommend this Company for any traveler looking for life-affirming experiences. Thanks Kelvin and the team for organizing a wonderful safari!!!!!!

Unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience
We had been dreaming of a safari in Tanzania for years and this Summer we finally had the opportunity to make our dream come true. After quite a lot of searching we finally decided to accept the offer from Soul of Tanzania. From the first contact, the sales team (Francis and Miguel) proved to be extremely reliable, helpful and professional, with all our emails being replied to within maximum 24 hours. After exchanging several emails, our itinerary was custom tailored to our preferences: two days in Tarangire, one day in Ngorongoro, two days in central Serengeti and two days in northern Serengeti. After being picked up from the airport by our guide Herman, Iris came to our b&b before the afternoon to welcome and brief us about the itinerary. The safari was totally successful and exceeded our expectations. Herman was a knowledgeable, professional and considerate guide. His knowledge of wildlife, flora and fauna is impressive. He left none of our many questions unanswered. Also, we were impressed by Herman's talent for spotting animals from very far and finding remote spots off the beaten track where animals could be observed without being disturbed. The highlights of the safari included a female lion chasing a warthog, a huge pride of lions resting, a family of cheetahs and a massive herd of wildebeest crossing the Mara river. Herman was always thoughtful and caring, doing all he could to please us and make us feel comfortable. We also appreciated how Herman managed to optimise the time and show us as much as possible. The service provided by Soul of Tanzania was outstanding. We really enjoyed the warm lunches we were served every day, whereas all other companies only provided their clients with lunch boxes. We slept in tented camps, in touch with nature but with all comforts provided. All camps were from comfortable to very comfortable, serving nice to excellent food. At the end of the tour Iris met us again for our feedback, which could only be extremely positive. Thanks Soul of Tanzania for this amazing experience, that we'd like to share with the whole family in the future.

Very professional company, excellent safari experience
They are very responsive to requests for information. We went back and forth quite a bit refining our itinerary and they were very helpful in finding the right fit for us.
The safari itself was well planned and conducted. We had a comfortable car with a good driver to take us around. Everything went as planned because the logistics of all the tours and overnight locations were figured out by them. The cost of the safari is substantial but it includes accommodation, meals, car and driver, which also seems reasonable.
The safari itself was fantastic. All the trips were well guided by professionals and the wildlife was fantastic. It is amazing that they can pretty much guarantee that you'll get the experience you're looking for-- tracking chimps and gorillas, seeing lions in trees, etc. The best experience is the gorilla tracking... it's a challenging hike but the landscape and the gorillas make up for it.
The countryside drives to and from the destinations are also excellent. We drove from Entebbe to Kibale (for chimps), then QENP (for savanna safari) and then to Bwindi (for gorillas). It's a good way to see the landscape changes and the life of the locals. Overall, the safari was excellent.
