Incredible safari experience at bargain price
My friend and I were able to book Chris and Armadillo Adventures fairly last minute. We were looking for an adventure and animal viewing at a low cost (we are both graduate students). We were overwhelmed with what we found. Chris was an excellent host, chef, tour guide, and all around good guy. We got to enjoy his custom built 4x4 vehicle on our three day safari. It is fully equipped with toilet, coolers for drinks and snacks, heater, binoculars, library of nature books. The height alone was enough of an advantage to consider his outfit; we were able to see things no one else in the park was able to see.
The accommodations were perfect. He provided tents, sleeping bags, camping mattresses, etc. The meals were amazing; traditional brai, chicken curries, potato and green salads. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The tour around the park (pilanesburg) was amazing. Chris led us to great spots, stopped when we wanted and where we wanted. He showed us great spots, but didn’t rush us when we wanted to stay for a while taking pictures. We say 4 of the big 5; the illusive buffalo eluded us. Above that, he told us about any new species we came upon. I would highly recommend Chris and his company to friends and family.

Unforgettable experience with very good service and very nice people
Both the safari and the gorilla trekking went very well and we got to see everything we expected and more. The places we stayed was nice, our driver was very good and well informed. Both trips was well planned but we still got the opportunity to influence the them as well. The communication was good as well as the rest of the information.
In all a very good experience and I will and already have recommended it to others.

Adventure of a lifetime, my boyhood dreams come true!
Going on an African safari has always been a dream of mine, so when the opportunity arose I made sure to do my research when selecting a tour. Sureway Tours came recommended from family friends and they did not disappoint. The guide Mike and driver John were highly knowledgeable of Masai Mara region and spoke fluent English. The accommodation was well maintained, food provided was quite good, pickup and drop off for the tour was to the doorstep. Overall I was very happy with the tour and managed to see all of the big five and much more.

Well organised, awesome landscapes, excellent guides, good chef, keen helpers and spirited beautiful
The Fishriver Canyon Ride in April was my third Namibia Horse Safari. The communications and organisation always amazes me as it must be a logistical nightmare to get everything to run smoothly because of the remoteness of the rides in the most spectacular parts of Namibia. The Fishriver ride was exciting and exillirating because of the terrain which varied from rock climbing and leading the horses to easy canters on the Velvet Plains... The horses are well cared for and were once again in very good condition, they are gutsy with big hearts! Throw in the knowledge and skills of the guides Telane and Andrew, the trip exceeded my expectations. Always a life changing experience and becoming quite addictive!! Big thanks to everyone involved.

Africa Pathfinder Safaris is the only one to use if you're going to Kenya! Excellent Service!
My daughter and I had an excellent experience with Africa Pathfinder Safaris! Our tour guide treated us like family and took care of each minor detail regarding our journey. Our tour guide was flexible and also made sure that we saw the most adventurous regions of Kenya. He never left us unattended and we felt extremely safe during our two week tour. I highly recommend Africa Pathfinder Safaris, as my family and I will only use their service in the future when planning our trips to Kenya.

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime!!
I cannot say enough about our experience with Odyssey and our amazing journey to Kenya. From the initial booking with Mark in CT, to the pre-trip emails with Beatrice/Joy and the great service on Emirates, getting to Kenya was smooth sailing. The hotels were absolutely wonderful, great service and food, we wanted for nothing. We fell asleep to the sounds of birds, woke to the "hippo" alarm clock and watched giraffes/wart hogs walk by our windows. But the best part were the amazing game drives and Erastus, our driver. We cannot say enough about Erastus. He was so knowledgeable about the animals and the areas we visited; he is a master at his job. Every drive surpassed the one just hours before!! He was in constant contact with other drivers to find us the best views and animals. We saw the big 5 and every animal in between (elephants en masse, dancing giraffes, zebras and buffalo as far as the eye could see). From the tiny dik-dik (my favorite) to the majestic lions to the enormous hippos, we were overwhelmed at the beauty and humbled by the vast plains. I cannot put into words just how amazing this trip was and how unbelievable Odyssey was from beginning to end. Worth every cent and all 38 hours of travel from Kenya to home!!! Thank you, Odyssey!!!!

All in All a great weekend!
My safari with Gombe Track Safaris and Tours was a very spontanous decision - nevertheless the communication was good. My contact person to Gombe helped me very well as i couldn't find a place in my choosen safari to find another one for the same price.
As we started the safari the driver picked me up in time. payment was uncomplicated & there was enough space in the car.
Our driver Rajabu drove fast but safe to the national park. In Mikumi National Park he could tell us a lot about the animals and the nature & was very kind. The drivings in Mikumi were awesome! We really saw every animal which is living in this Park - Lions, Lepards, elefants, giraffs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, wildebeasts, antilopes monkeys and many more.
The Food was also great. We got three meals per day, which were always enough and very delicious.
Our trip at the third day to Udzungwa National Park was also very great.
Unfortunately our actually hotel was full, but the alternate accomodation was very nice as well!
All in All it was a great trip to Mikumi & Udzungwa for a reasonable price. We were a funny group of persons & our drive Rajabu was very kind & had a lot of knowledge about the nature and the parks.
I will definitely book with Gombe Track Safaris again.

BEST TRIP EVER! Trek2Kili strived to ensure that my Tanzanian dream was fulfilled!
The care, concern and dedication that I felt with Trek2Kili was amazing. The owner and team welcomed us as part of his family and took personal care and concern to ensure that our needs were met. I never had a moment where I felt unsafe or unhappy! The safari guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and remain our friends still today. The porters and guide up Kilimanjaro were amazing at keeping us healthy and happy as we reached the top of the mountain! I would highly recommend this company and this team for all your African vacation plans!
