Incredible Experience without Spending Thousands
My wife and I went on a 3 day trip to Masai Mara with Jocky and absolutely loved it!! Our driver (Richard) was a true professional and intimately knew his way around the park so show us the most game possible. We even saw 2 Leopard in one day! You must be ok with sleeping in a tent and not some lodge with private hot tubs. That being said, the lodging was comfortable and even had hot showers! Extremely reasonable price for such an experience. Would definitely go again and recommend to anyone not looking for a true safari experience without the swankiest of accommodations.

Best ADVENTURE yet!
I came to see the Mtn Gorillas but, ended up saying way more and the adventures, the experiences just continued my whole stay! My guide, Karim made sure I was rested for each adventure and made sure I experienced everything his wonderful country had to offer. Ask him to stop for Rolex!

Amazing first safari experience with Fair Travel Kilimanjaro
I was extremely excited to go on my first safari in Tanzania. I had been anticipating this trip for months and I certainly was not let down. Myself and several others did a 2 day Safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Our guide was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and welcoming. We were not disappointed at any point on the trip. I was blown away by how beautiful Tanzania is and I am thankful for our guide who was very professional/ dedicated to his work. I would HIGHLY recommend Fair Travel Kilimanjaro to anyone who wants to experience a breathtaking safari experience.

Quality tour, great experience!
The tour was greatly designed, a good mix of game drive, rainforest trekking, road trip and above all gorilla tracking. Food was great along the 5 days and also good quality lodge (honor mention to Irunga Forest Lodge). Gerald was very flexible, halpful and overall an outstanding guide!

Kenyan Safari made easy
Exploring unknown lands can be so incredible but it's often intimidating. CKC Tours made this adventure so easy and enjoyable. From the moment we were picked up from the airport to the moment they dropped us off, they made every part of the trip effortless. We saw the sunrise flight of flamingos on Lake Nakuru, drove next to Rhino's, came across a lion pouncing on a pair of cheetahs in Masai Mara and even enjoyed an impromptu motor boat encounter with some up close hippos on Lake Navasio that our driver Simon made happen. We had limited time and they worked so hard to make sure we saw everything and they did it with a smile. The hardest part of our days was waking up to make sure we saw everything!

Amazing Safari with a knowledgeable and friendly guide!
Our trip with Encounter Africa Safaris was amazing! From the beginning, the communication with Chris was great. He always responded within 24 hours and answered all of the questions we had. We decided to go with Encounter Africa because we felt it was the best value and they had great customer service. Once we decided to book with them, we were give the option to pay via credit card, which would adds a 5% fee or wire the money through our banks. We wired the money and while it may make people nervous, the process was easy and Chris confirmed for us when payment was received.
When we arrived at Entebbe airport, our guide Tolbert was waiting to pick us up! Tolbert was great throughout the entire journey! He was very nice and was able to explain so much to us about the animals, Ugandan culture and more! He stayed with us the entire journey and drove us all over the country! We even decided to change our itinerary last minute to include white water rafting and Jinja and he was more than accommodating, handling all of the necessary hotel and rafting reservations for us!
During the trip we went gorilla tracking in Bwindi, did game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and chimp walking in Kibale forest! It was an unforgettable trip and Encounter Africa Safaris exceeded our expectations! All of the accommodations they arranged for us were amazing as well! We paid for budget accommodations but they were very nice and each unique in their own way!
I would highly recommend Encounter to anyone looking to experience all that Uganda has to offer!

Amazing safari
James was the best driver imaginable. He always make sure we had a great time. He was very professional in his approach, an amazing animal spotter. Also great: The organization and the comfortable car. We are from Germany. We were thunderstruck about his almost perfectly German-speaking. It was not only a journey, it was a adventure of our lifetime.
We say to enchanting safaris and "Sunnyboy" James in heartfelt gratitude: Thank you very much for this time

Amazing experience
An amazing trip over the 4 days. Excellent guide in David with excellent accommodation across the few days. Only blemish being our airport hotel accommodation in Nairobi before setting out on safari - wasn't up to scratch but as far as the safari goes, could not have a single complaint.
Would definitely recommend Transtrek for anyone looking to book a safari.

A great experience
Our 3 day tour from Kigali to Lake Mutanda, gorilla tracking and back to Kigali was amazing!
The gorilla experience was fantastic, we really didn't expect to be able to be so close to them, the Mutanda Lake Resort was really good, we enjoyed every second of our stay there. The new managers of the place are very nice and helpful. And our driver Ronald was a great company, we enjoyed talking to him and felt safe and well taken care of all the time.
The email communication and assistance from the moment of sending my first query to the email detailing recommended packing list were of high quality, professional and always timely.
I highly recommend booking with Matoke.
