Great safari experience!
I went on a safari to Amboseli with Leonard. Leonard was a great guide, knowledgeable, nice and helpful- I definitely recommend going on a safari with him! Peter was good at swiftly answering mails and organizing trips in advance.

Shadows of Africa-An Excellent Choiice
We booked 15 days in Kenya and Tanzania with Jake from Shadows of Africa. He was so easy to work with and gave us many choices of accommodations and parks to visit and then we made the decisions as to where and what we wanted. Jake was always available to answer question about visas, immunizations, accommodations and all the other questions we had. We reviewed the guides/drivers and selected Ken in Kenya and Timothy in Tanzania and could not have been happier with their expertise. Both had great personalities and could spot the animals from far away. They always got us in the right spot for the best picture and we seemed to be the first vehicle at many of the "hot" sights. We had a good vehicle-very clean-even with all the dust and the guides found bathrooms, if needed, even in the middle of the Serengeti. We saw the Big 5 in both countries and many other animals and beautiful birds. We visited the Hadzabe, Dakoota and Maasai tribes for an inside look at how the tribes live and work. We stayed in tent camps, lodges and a Maasai lodge made with sticks, cow dung and straw roof and loved every night. The tent camps allow the animal noises to be heard and nothing like lying in bed and hearing hyenas or lions in the distance. I would choose Shadows of Africa for a great adventure in Africa again.

My worst experience, ever
I have travelled all over the world, and this was not my first safari, indeed. But I never found an operator that avoids its responsabilities in such a way like this one. There were services not provided to us, and when we asked the operator for a solution, he just said "no problem", and nothing else. They will tell you "no problem" to everything you ask, but actually they will do nothing, they will not accept any responsability, they will not compensate you for any service not provided. Maybe others have had a better experience than us, but I would never recommend this operator.

Chobe river cruise/game drive.
My wife and I did the one day Chobe river cruise/ game drive. It was most enjoyable! Our driver, Blessings, picked us up from our hotel promptly from our hotel in Victoria Falls, and we saw African wildlife on our drive to Botswana. Culture, our boat captain, did an outstanding job in pointing out wildlife and gave us a lot of information about the game. The lunch buffet was delicious and was served at the Chobe Lodge. Captain, our driver on the game drive, gave us the opportunity to observe and learn about the elephants and hippos in their natural habitat. We would recommend this tours to others.

Mj Safaris All cars are 4wd and have a pop-up roof or open roof for an excellent safari view.
We've just finished a great safari and overnight stay at Murchison falls. The luxury tents were well appointed couldn't get the boat cruise ride but I didn't really need it anyway.
The two day safari with our guide, jimmy, went really well. We saw plenty of Rhino’s and a lot of bird life which the guide was knowledgeable about.
The evening meal could have been a little hotter, but was a really nice set up and there was plenty of food coming off the barbecue. They even gave me a birthday cake!
All in all, a great experience. Many thanks.
Stayed August 2014, it was a great trip

It was fun filled, great, worth my money and the time.
I think their communication and services is good, their response is timely.
They met my expectations as i did not find any challenges with them.
The journey was fine, i felt safe as the driver did not over speed and the car was comfortable.
I should say the tour as a whole was a great nice experience.

The experience of a lifetime - a honeymoon organised and delivered with sublime service, thank you!
I wanted to show my wife my favourite places on Earth for our honeymoon, so I chose Botswana and Zambia through Golden Africa. As an independent operator with the best contacts in the industry, GA excelled at offering a tailor made trip of a lifetime and took incredible care of the smallest details making this a truly unforgettable journey. We spent nights out under the stars in the wilderness and saw the moon rise, watched in awe as thousands of zebra came down to water, picnicked exclusively as wild dog trotted by, saw a vast range of animals and learnt a great deal about the habitats and people that make up the bush in a such an easy going way, and of course, relaxed and were spoilt rotten where ever we went! A magical safari and one we shall never forget!
The best tour operator for amazing safari
My partner and I chose Bahati International Tours to take us on a 7 day camping safari. We had a really positive experience and took home lots of photos and stories. Bill was quick to respond to our emails prior to the safari and gave us plenty of information. Our driver’s name was Brian and we were very lucky to have such a knowledgeable and friendly guide. He would ask us what time we wanted to start our days and worked promptly and flexibly around us.
The tour started at Tarangine National park, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and concluded at the Ngorongoro crater. Brian was flexible and always put our needs first. Our chef, Rasta John was very pleasant and kept us fed with tasty meals throughout the trip. Our driver helped us compile a list of all the animals we saw from the beginning of the trip and it filled 3 pages! The birds and the big cats were breathtaking. And even though we were so close to the animals we felt safe in the jeep at all times. The camping arrangement worked very well and we had no issues at all.

Great safari experience in Amboseli
We spent three days on safari with Triumph Travel Kenya in Amboseli National Park. It was a great experience, we saw a lot of animals: elephants, antelopes, various birds, and, unexpectedly, a hippo, hyenas, and a couple of warthogs. It was interesting to listen to our guide Edward telling us about the habits of different animals. Unfortunately, we haven't seen lions and giraffes. Amboseli national park overlooks Kilimanjaro mountain, which provides amazing views, especially in the mornings.
Food was also very great, all meals were cooked by Kevin, who considered all our wishes (for example, if you are a vegetarian, don't eat red meat, etc.). Almost all the time we ate various, not the same dishes.
Talking about the Kimana camp, I recommend you to take a light with you as sometimes there are problems with electricity. But! The nights are very beautiful with silence and starry skies.
The tour price was the cheapest I had found, and I am glad about this fact. Besides, Edward agreed to take us to Namanga after the tour as we had to cross the border and continue our trip to Tanzania.
Edward and Kevin, thanks again for our journey.
