Great experience!!
We had a 6 nights safari with Bahati International Tours and Safaris and we had a great time. We visited Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara Park (we made a really nice night safari!), Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
All the parks worth a visit: Tarangire for its spectacular landscapes, Lake Manyara for the forest, Serengeti for predators and its amazing and different landscapes, Ngorongoro because its unique and fascinating.
Bahati International Tours and Safaris was professional from our arrival until our departure. The choice of Lodges and Camping was perfect: we recommend in particular Tarangire Safari Lodge and Kati Kati camps (Tanganyika Wildeness camps).
The guide was friendly and helpful.
We say all the big 5, a family of Cheetah, lots of other animals. It was great!
I believe that Bahati International Tours and Safaris has the best arrangement in terms of Quality service, our safari in Tanzania with them was superb.

Great travel company to go through for an amazing vacation
An African Safari is a must do for any avid travelers. But doing it is not something that is easily done alone. We heard about Odyssey through a friend who had went recently. We considered a couple Safari companies and ended up going with Odyssey. The trip was well planned out and organized. We had an amazing time. We had one hiccup at the end of the trip where we were scheduled to sit in the DAR airport (if you call it that) for 7 hours. After some back and fourth, Odyssey was able to come up with a solution for us to stop at the Serena in DAR. Overall, we had an amazing trip and going through Odyssey was a big reason for that.

Our Safari and tour was everything and more than we could have possibly dreamed of.
This safari was absolutely perfect! Agoi Hosking, the tour director and Victoria had a flawless plan in place with wonderful lodging at the Fairview Hotel, Oltukai Lodge, Aberdares Country Club, Sweetwaters, Maili Saba camp and Mara Serena Lodge. We visited too many place to mention! Amboseli National Park offered so many opportunities to view the elephants, giraffes and baboons! Agoi and Bryson made sure we always got the perfect shots with Mount Killimanjaro as a backdrop. At Sweetwater we managed to witness a lion dig and kill a warthog only to be followed by a visit to the wild dogs! Can you imagine being at the right place at the right time! This was possible because of Agoi's guidance and expertise.
With every day there was a sense of excitement that was never disappointed. At Masai Mara Game Reserve we witnessed two wildebeest crossing. That is totally unbelievable! Yes, again Agoi had you at the right place at the right time. We saw prides of lions, servals, giraffes, zebra, buffalo, impalas and much more.
This was all beyond my wildest dreams and the photos we have are just spectacular!

Matoke tours exceeded mine and my family's expectations.
As my studies had brought me to Uganda to do an internship, my family didn't want to miss out on this opportunity to travel to a new country, explore a new culture and of course visit me. The agreement was to explore the best of western Uganda, so it was up to me to find an affordable tour that also covered the highlights of that part of the country. After having searched the internet for tour companies, I stumbled across the Matoke budget tour. It sounded pretty exciting including chimpanzee tracking, viewing of the tree climbing lions, gorilla tracking, bush walk and many other activities. But as a student with limited budget and a passionate backpacker, I wasn't sure if this was the best deal I could find and at the same time slightly skeptical when it comes to online booking (because you never know who is on the other side). So I went ahead and tried to organize the trip myself, only to realize that it was a time consuming, complicated process with no promise on saving any costs. Having come to that realization I decided to book with Matoke tours and have come to the conclusion that every penny is well spent. The communication with the staff was reliable, I always got a quick response and the safari tour outstanding. Not only were the activities exciting, even the accommodation made our trip exceptional. I am glad to have booked through Matoke tours and am glad to recommend it.

Very good experience with Kilidove : good timing - very good organization - perfect accommodation.
We had a great experience and saw many animals thanks to Boniface our guide/driver who knows everything about the wild life. Everything was perfect.
The hotel Eileen's trees is a very nice place too and we had very good meals too.

We greatly appreciated robert's quick response to our emails and his warm manner. Big thanks Robert, we had a fantastic holiday

Kilimanjaro Climb Is Amazing with Landside Adventures
My wife and and I submitted Kilimanjaro when using Landside Adventures as our guide/tour company. They did a great job, have experienced guides that really do make a positive difference.
They bring dining tent, bathroom tent to make the trip very pleasurable and not hard core camping that you're fending for yourself. They bring treats (popcorn, biscuits, tea/coffee await you at each day's climb end is just one of their nice touches.
Really good company to climb Kili with.

Brights get it right
We had a wonderful experience with Bright African Safaris undertaking a 7 day climb of Mt Kilimanjaro and a 7 day safari that encompassed Tarangire National Park, Ngorogoro Crater and Conservation area, and the famed Serengeti. Brights were incredibly trustworthy, which was a big thing for me undertaking my first African adventure.
We (my 2 teenage sons and I ) felt very safe at all times with our chief guides Habib on the mountain and Othman on our safari, whilst we were still able to experience at very close hand the African culture, lifestyle and of course the abundant wildlife.
We had an unforgettable trip and a huge thankyou to Brights for making it happen.

Finding birds and relaxation in Kenya!
We had 9 days after a meeting in Nairobi, and wanted to see animals and countryside, with a focus on birds. E-Trip Africa arranged for a wonderful driver, Moses Kangara, and 4 bookings of 2 nights each (we wanted to be able to relax and listen to sounds and enjoy the wonderful places we were booked at, not just spend all that money to sleep). Making the arrangements on line was so easy, as the E-Trip folks were very responsive as the trip planning evolved. Every thing was much, much better than I imagined.
We stayed at:
Island Camp in Lake Boringo (watching a full moon rise over the lake from the cottage, bird guide for a walk on the island and another for a small boat exploration),
Sleeping Warrior Lodge in the Soysambu Conservancy (Best sighting- an aardvark on a night drive!),
Mara Eden Bush Camp in Masai Mara NR (giraffes and hippos seen from the campsite, big 5),
Malewa Wildlife Lodge in the Kiglio Wildlife Conservancy (along a river in the woods, listening to hopes and rock hydraxes screaming at night. Peter took us on some terrific bird walks).
Each place was so different in looks and landscape, but the same in the beautiful rooms and excellent service and delicious food (we are vegetarian and each place was alerted by E-Trip and made amazing and healthy dishes).
Everything and everybody completely exceeded our expectations. It was the trip of a lifetime.
