Very well organized organization with very pleasant, professional staff.
Excellent flow regarding transportation from/to JoBurg & Kruger. Safaris always left at the predetermined time. Safari vehicles were never overcrowded and guides were very knowledgeable, especially Cedrik. He was very passionate about his work and shared several amusing folklore stories about the animals. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and adequate. The food was exceptionally good and plentiful. Light meals before early morning safaris were particularly appreciated! I would recommend Outlook Safaris.

4-day tour to Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth National Parks exceeded expectations!
I'm happy I booked with Africa Aventure Safaris. I was looking for a moderately-priced tour and after talking to US spokesman Bill Williams, I was reassured about the professionalism and expertise of this company. Nelson responded immediately to my emails and answered all my questions. Our transport was a spacious and comfortable van; lodgings and food were very good. And Bernard was superb! He was a not only a skillful driver and wildlife guide, but also a passionate observer of local culture who helped us understand how the people live and deal with the challenges they face. I expected to see amazing animals and birds, but learning about Ugandans with Bernard's help was a very special experience. Thanks!

Amazing experience in seeing Mountain Gorillas
We really loved the tour of Gorilla tracking, especially enjoyed having it during low rainy season. It gave a truly memorable experience tracking the mountain gorillas on 6 hour route up the mountains with pouring rain - someone might say that it doesn't seem an enjoyable trip but that's what made the tracking really memorable for us. When you finally reach the gorillas, all soaked with rain and tired, you are just blown away of the sight. We managed to see a family of 12 with young babies and teenagers:)
I really recommend on taking the time to visit the gorillas and Encounter Africa Safaris made the trip even more memorable taking care of us on throughout the whole week-end.

Amazing safari experience
My experience with Absolute holiday safari was excellent! I joined for 6 day safari (Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru/Amboseli) Everything was organised in best possible way and we saw more than I could have ever imagined. Even leopard chilling on a tree with his prey. :) David, John and our lovely driver Patrick are the best!

Our trip was excellent - well-managed, excellent guides, great drives and very good accommodation.
The whole safari holiday was very well done. The booking agent (Michelle) gave great advice and guidance. The travel arrangements went like clockwork, and the tented accomodation was really comfortable, with great food and a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The safari drives and walks were superb, with very knowledgable guides who were really enthusiastic and keen for us to see and learn as much as possible. Unreservedly recommended.
Could have stayed for another week or two.
Missed the leopard and we knew there was no lion. Had very up close and personal time with Elephants, Cheetah, Buffalo, Wart Hogs, Zebra, Giraffe, Hippo's, various impala, Salt water and fresh water crocks, wildebeest, dodgers, a puff adder, a boa and great birds. Plenty of local color. Reasonable food, entertaining guides. Took side trips to Santa Lucia, and very up scale neighboring park. Learned lots, met good people and had a lot of fun. Food was so-so (typical for S. Africa). Nice weather every day, but got a little cool at night. Two trips a day. Am going back in 2016, just bought my trip. Will stay in the lodge in the park this time.

It was a fantastic journey through a very pretty and friendly part of Africa - I loved it!
It couldn't have been better! We were surprised every day about how helpful and friendly and trustworthy people welcomed us everywhere. We got help immediately - what ever question or concern we just had. We experienced the wild animals just were they lived, without disturbing them. We got all the information about the animals and the country we wished for. We had comfortable beers in the evening, great food, good coffee and cake... it was just wonderful. We were never stressed with program, we always did what we liked - as long as we liked it - it was just terrific!

They deliver great services
I bought Roy Safaris through an agent from Brasil for a 10-days safaris from Arusha to Ngorongoro Area and Serengeti, encompassing Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu (South Serengeti) and Seronera area (Center of Serengeti).
One of things that caught my attention was a small meeting arranged by them - in the morning of the first day - with me, and the guide and the directors of Roy Safaris to make them know what my interests and my experience with safaris and which animals I'd like to see so that the guide could try to attend my interest.
The guide was quite patient and helpful, well informed about the wildlife and Tanzania's history. He also spoke, besides english, French and Spanish. He had an great skill for languages and a few days after our departure from arusha he started speak some expression in Portuguese... that was very kind!
During the 10 days Tesha, our guide, struggled to show us what we'd like to see: big cats hunting, the big five, crocodiles and wild dogs. He was specially skilled to manage our anxiety so that we could stay up 2 or three hours to see a hunting or follow a wildebeest for three hours to see it giving birth.
At the end of tour all of us were thankfull to him for his skill and interest to deliver the best safari we did.

very reliable trip organization with highly competent guide
In organizing our tour the communication with Gatatu was very effektiv. Richard responded very fast and flexible to my special questions. He tried to keep in contact with me and thus I was never unsure, wether e erythind will work well.
And so it did. Our guide was well in time in Mutukula zo pick us up at the Tanzanian boarder. Kenneth, the guide again proved to be very competent in explaining us the coutry, it's nature and animals. This was the second trip i made with Kenneth + Gatatu and again all our experiences were positiv! I can also recommend the Fort Murchison Hotel , which Gatatu had selected for us: clean, good service, well tasting food and a beautifull site!
