Amazingly efficient and accommodating
Big Foot was wonderful to work with in all aspects from beginning to end. I have not found such efficiency in the 21 years I've been coming to Kenya. From our first call to the last contact when they picked us at the airport we were pleased with the friendliness, the care we received, and the reservations that were made for flying and for our hotel in Mombasa. It's nice to have a company that is so accommodating in providing options and making wonderful arrangements. We have used them several times and each time has been a great experience. They take care of all the details that I normally concern myself with and then some. They have connections with great places and their attention to customer care is over the top. Booking with Bigfoot makes things so easy and convenient you are left with nothing but to relax and enjoy your travel experience.

All around great three days
I had only three days of a trip to Masai Mara - and looked for something cost effective and found Karibu Safaris online. In the run up, I was grateful for Robert’s fast replies and help with online payment and organising pick up from my hotel. They also kindly babysat my giant suitcase whilst we were in Masai Mara.
And the good experience continued. Our driver and guide got us there quickly and safely and was a great guide when we first went into the park. The accommodation was also super and food throughout was yummy (and healthy). We also spent the whole second day in the park, saw a huge amount of wildlife and decided we didn’t need a third trip after such two successful outings.
I’m especially grateful that the team got us back to Nairobi in time for my onward journey - and got me safely all the way to my airport hotel.
I would definitely use Karibu Safaris again if and when I am back and can recommend them wholeheartedly!

Except the shopping schedule others are just perfect
They replied very simple but fast, and they really did everything they promised, before/ after pick-up and accomendation (very nice and comfortable ) , which is all satisfying !! the guide looks serious, but very soon I found he is so friendly and easy going. So much fun throughout our trip! And he is also very professional, telling us everything about the animals. He also has very sharp eyesight that he can always spot animals from a distance and tried everything to let us take the best photos. The cook is awesome too! Lunch box is with some limitations but the dinner was all wonderful the cook himself is very fun to talk too! I enjoyed my safari with them a lot. The only thing I dislike is we were taken to a Massai tribe, which didn’t list in our itinerary. Those people Tried to sell you souvenir desperately and the price is ridiculous ! And the chief of tribe asked me to donate to their school so straightforwardly like I owed him the money! The tribe isn’t worthy to visit because they are so impatient when introducing their culture , their only focus is how much money they can get from you! I would 100% recommend Meru Slope to all travelers but suggest saying NO to the tribe schedule directly .

The elephants are awesome, they are many!
It was an incredible day, full of magic, I was impressed to see so many elephants in their natural habitat, being so authentic and happy. I was happy to see so many colorful birds. I would have liked to have seen more cats (I only saw a lioness), I think there are more cats missing. The guide should know more about birds, he knew a lot about animals and interesting facts, but he lacked a bit more of that information. I loved the safari. Thank you very much

Amazing experience to see so many wild animals in a single location.
Like: amazing wildlife, spectacular Kilimanjaro scenery, clear Indian ocean waters with marine life and corrals, competent guides and friendly people, reasonable and clean accommodation;
to be improved: transportation infrastructure (took ages to drive from one part to another, some roads were so poor quality, looked more like off-road rally), excessive pressure on tourists to purchase souvenirs on the beach or national parks entrances

Viva Safari provide excellent service to their guests in every aspect. Patti provides quick response and advice to us to join the Safari tour.
They provide the excellent service and tours as to the printed itinenary, nothing skipped. My daughter and I really enjoy our trip there.

Beautiful nature and delightful mountain gorillas!
Our trip was very well organized, all the lodges were of good quality an our guide George was piece of gold. He knew all the birds we saw, found lions in high grass impossible to see to unexperienced eye and took good care of us.
There was only one problem - the car was not in the best condition. It did not start without pushing or pulling and so we could not shut down the engine during game drives. Also during the night safari, when ranger saw some red glowing eyes in the darkness, our engine shut down and we had to get out to pull the car and so we lost the animal.
My conclusion from our trip to Uganda:
if you are for:
lots of animals - go to Serengeti;
chimpanzees - go to nearest zoo (bad luck for us - this was second time this year they were unable to trek the chimpanzee's);
gorillas, birding, beautiful landscapes, friendly people - go to Uganda;
Best park in my opinion was Murchison Falls and safari by boat from Mweya peninsula along Kazinga channel was very nice.
Apart from prementioned problems we found our trip satisfactory.
I recommended Destination Jungle Safaris and especially guide George.

Review about Botswana by Catalina Tecas
I think there are more predators missing in the park ... the rest is great
