Original and quality experience of Safari
We are a couple, age 30 years old coming from Europe.Our budget for Safari was 1000 euros. We found online a great review for Mr Romeo's company, we trusted it and we were 100% satisfied by the choice. First of all, we did not share the Jeep with any other group and secondly we had our personal guide. The Jeep was very safe and comfortable to take pictures and watch by binoculars. Our guide was serious and well educated (speaking English very well). Our guide had knowledge of the animal life and the nature not only acquired by books but also by experience. He did not overload us with info. He knew the landscapes very well, which is important to see animals under extinction. He was in contact with the other guides in the parks so that we do not miss any rare animal. He was coming himself from Masai race and he could tell us about people mentality as well. He was on time on schedule. The meal provided during safari was decent. He also suggested some shopping places for souvenirs. The company also helped us with accommondation, although we were free to make our own choices as well. Overall, it is a professional small company run by great staff and we highly recommended to everyone!

Memorable Trip - It's Africa after all :)
It was a memorable journey!
- Safari as such : never saw such an abundant number of animals - we saw the Big 5 and much more!!!
- Hotels : the choices were absolutely great, except for Ang'ata where we were really very very cold at night. The other hotelS really went above and beyond our expectations (nice romantic dinner at Tarangire Safari Lodge, Kubu Kubu is exceptionnaly nice, ...).
- Guide: Mr. Martin was quite shy but very nice, polite, accommodating and very knowledgeable.
- Vehicle : There is definitely some place for improvement here! There was no AC so the road from Ngorongoro to Serengeti was very difficult as we had to close/open our windows and it was very dusty (our clothes, our faces, our luggages, ...).
- Wait at the parks : The wait in general was very long at all the entrance of every park but I guess this is the same with all the companies and is a matter of general organisation in Tanzania.

Good experience
Overall the trip was very good but the driver was not good. He did not talk about what we we looking at. He was definitely not a guide, only a driver. Besides this he smelled awful wherefore we all hated sitting in the front passenger seat.
With regards to the trip itself, sailing on the Rufiji River was absolutely fantastic. Spending time at Hippo Camp and experiencing Seleous Game Reserve was amazing. But Mikumi National Park was very disappointing as the national park was being burnt on purpose which meant that most of the animals were gone. Mercury Tour and Safari knew this but still took us there.

fantastic trip
Rose worked hard within a very short time-frame and at short notice to compile a fantastic Kenyan experience, with a bit of R&R in the Seychelles tacked-on. Excellent organisation with seamless travel connections at every point, delightful people all along the way, beautiful locations and hospitality. i Just have to work a bit harder to afford to take the family again-thanks Rose!

nice Safari & Beach experience
We have had a family holiday over christmas and booked with Adventure Expeditions our safari & beach holiday.
We enjoyed their Kenya Northern Circuit Tour and were lucky to see all the big 5. After 1 week safari we had a week at Diani Beach. Everything was well organized. We booked online from Germany after friends recommended the company. They were very helpful and patient with all our questions. In Kenya everything was always in time, the accommodation was well chosen, they organized the flight in Kenya and all transfers. We will come back. Kenya is a beautiful country. Adventure Expeditions is very reliable and well experienced company and we can really recommend them.

A wonderful real African experience with people who know and love their land and humbly share it.
Communication was good. One has to allow for delays while Phillimon is out in the bush with no available communication. I was so impressed that they catered for my special dietary needs (lactose, gluten and garlic intolerant) and got it right - very considerate people. We wanted an authentic bush experience and were impressed with their efficiency in organising the camp, the meals and presentations were exceptional. The bush shower and screened toilet pit with toilet seat was welcome, camp chairs, table cloth and iced drinks available during the heat of the day was great. Its so good to see locals striving to establish themselves in this business, which is their life but sad that it is so hard for them to compete with rich entrepreneurs who maybe don't have the same feel or knowledge of the area. An injection of capital would really help their business.

Very professional and trustworthy
We were really very satisfied with everything that Madi from the Wild Wings scheduled for our group - from the pick up at the airport upon our arrival to SA and arranging for our skis and boots to be picked up at Tambo and taken to Africa Sky Gesthouse for safekeeping and then drive to Kruger where we had more than wonderful time. We consider ourselves lucky for having Simon with our group - he is really a master of his job, and he loves doing it...so we also felt good with him around. We managed to see the big 5 and more, and enjoyed every minute to the blast....also in our meals given that Jacques (sorry if I misspelt his name) is an excellent cook and dinning in the Skukuza is something extraordinary by itself...The accommodation there was also nice, although basic - but to our expectations. Definitely excellent value for money.
