We had an incredible time seeing God's creation on our safari and appreciated the great service!
5/5

We wanted to do our safari at a reasonable price, and I was thrilled with how accommodating our host was in this. He found us cheap, but comfortable accommodations, and the service and friendliness of our host was great! We saw many animals, and I appreciated the creativity of the tour and flexibility of our host, Moses.

I was truly completely satisfied with our experience! I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering taking a safari!

Excellent service and amazing safaris -- took great care of me!
5/5

I went on a safari with KET on my own (had a long weekend free in Nairobi in between work travel), and I was a bit nervous about being in a new place on my own. KET took great care of me, and I felt safe and in great hands all the time. The service was door to door (they picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel in town) and the safari itself (at Masai Mara park) was amazing. I stayed at the Mara Sarova Lodge, which was absolutely stunning. We saw so much wildlife, and the driver was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I would definitely recommend KET and plan to use them again!

Chalo Africa was very knowledgeable and provided most excellent service and planning! Go with Chalo!
5/5

I contacted over 20 companies in preparation for a safari and Chalo Africa gave us the best deal for what we wanted to see. I read the reviews and decided to book with them. Then I decided while in Tanzania it would be great to get to Nairobi, Kenya to visit the Giraffe Center and David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Sangeeta came up with another itinerary, but it was a bit over our spending limit. Sangeeta worked with me to change a few lodging choices to meet our maximum budget. Then again, she reworked the itinerary and was as professional and friendly as possible. Then, with two weeks until the safari start, Kenya Airways changed their flight schedule, which we had booked independently. Sangeeta promptly offered her assistance to help us work through the necessary changes. Smita was also very thorough and friendly in answering questions and getting all the finance data in order. Sangeeta also contacted us just before, during, and after our safari
to inquire how things were going for our family. Customer service seems more of a catchphrase these days, but Chalo Africa actually provides it honorably, in addition to thoughtful planning and execution. If ever we get the opportunity for another safari anywhere in Africa, be assured we will go with Chalo Africa! Many thanks to the Chalo Africa family for not only an incredible safari experience, but the confidence of knowing we were in good hands throughout our trip.

Wonderful and Amazing tour with Kenya Budget Holiday
5/5


I would recommend Kenya budget holiday to any person wishing to tour
Kenya with a family or otherwise.They made our stay comfortable even
with the children,not to mention,the staff handled us with a lot of
professionalism.

Initially it was all about planning for my family with 2 children and my
wife.later when I mentioned this to 2 of my friends we once schooled
with who also had families too ,the interest to visit Kenya was
rekindled and with the help of a knowledgeable Kenya budget holiday we
managed to tailor made our tour and our budget, taste and preferences
were caters for no doubt.

The driver guide Peter was an experienced guide was very resourceful and
he made our birding session at lake naivasha worthwhile.peter was also
very patient that was commendable indeed since we had 6 young children
between age 10 and 6years…we were picked up at Hilton hotel and started
with masai mara where we witnessed the wildebeest migration this was a
magical experience the kids loved it too,lastly we did naivasha boat
ride after mara and visited lake nakuru for an overnight.

Food,accommodation and the all other quality services provided meet the
international standards.

Ours was an imaginable experience,at any time I would recommend my Kenya
budget holiday tour operator.you made our stay unforgettable.cheers!!

Our Family Beach vacation to Mombasa was fantastic; all transport & accommodation was well planned!
5/5

We were impressed with the advise of the staff at Inclusive holidays who were very helpful in guiding us on the choice of accommodation. We trusted their option, based on their past experiences, despite having our own preference and we are glad that we followed their advise.
Isn't it great to land in Mombasa on a hot afternoon and find a tour guide waiting for you at the airport... Express transfer to the hotel... in addition to that, Inclusive Holidays arranged for a standby driver who was available for all our transport needs during our stay in Mombasa.
I will definitely book all my future vacations with Inclusive Holidays Africa; It was a great experience compared to my past Safaris.

Memorable trip
5/5

Although Tanzania is a long haul destination for us this was truely worth the gruelling 14 hours. Overall the trip was well planned with a real diversity of terrain and every night at a different lodge in a different park was a welcomed experience. I took thousands of photos and look forward to planning any future trips to Africa with Safarihub.

AMAZING
5/5

I am now back in Australia after an unforgettable trip to Tanzania. It truly was a trip of a lifetime. One word that i said several times a day was AMAZING. It was very emotional at times, exhilarating exhausting and inspiring. It was difficult at times to take everything in and i was on sensory over load a lot. I have many many "National Geographic" worthy photos to reflect upon and to show off. Spending $1200 on a 500mm lense was money well spent.

I was so fortunate to be with put with a group of the most "amazing" (there's that word again) people. All complete strangers at the beginning but firm friends after 8 days. So much so that we are all catching up in December when i travel to London and Europe. There were hugs and tears when we parted.
Our guide from Ranger Safaris Ndossy was brilliant. So knowledgeable on simply everything and a pleasure to be in his company.
All of the accommodation was first class. Very comfortable and welcomed after a long day bumping around on dirt roads and taking in the breath taking sights of Northern Tanzania. The staff and food at each establishment was faultless.
I was very fortunate to see the big 5 and there were also some unique sights that aren't mentioned in the tourist guides.
I will definitely be returning and am telling all of my friends and I have inspired many of my friends to do the same safari.
My flight to Zanzibar went off with out a hitch and spending 3 weeks on Zanzibar with old friends was wonderful and I certainly got to experience Zanzibar much more than the average tourist. It was bitter sweet leaving as i had met so many wonderful people and my FB page now has alot more friends on it.
Thanks so much to Diederik from African Ubuntu Safaris for holding my hand every step of the way from my first enquiry, to the follow up post holiday e mail. He gave me a lot of confidence particularly that I was travelling alone. African Ubuntu's service was first class and very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to others and use again for myself.

An amazing trip in Uganda!
5/5

Matoke are very professional. They spent a lot of time with me for the planning of the trip and the elaboration of the itinerary (private tour). During the trip, the guide was very good. He was smart, had a lot of knowledge. We learned a lot about the country and the nature. We always felt safe. We are already thinking about the next trip and probably we will go again with Matoke.

Amazing!
5/5

If you’re looking for an exceptional safari experience at an exceptional value, choose SAFARI BIG 5. The price (per person, per day) is one-fifth of many alternatives but delivers the full experience with flawless logistics and great accommodations. Perhaps most importantly, our assigned guide, Nadin, was a delight to be with. From the pick up at the hotel in Nairobi to the final drop off in Arusha, Imran Esmail at Safari Big 5 was on top of everything detail and cheerfully met all of our needs. The vehicle was in great condition and was driven off-road by an expert who was passionate about finding every animal for our viewing. The Kati Kati tented camp was beyond our expectations, with excellent beds, washrooms, and dining facilities. The Octagon Lodge was full of character and we especially appreciated the huge barbeque they put on for our last night. The Ngoroongoro Wildlife Lodge overlooking the Ngoroongoro crater was nothing short of breathtaking.

You can pay five times as much, but I’m hard pressed to understand how our experience could have been improved by paying more money. It was quite simply the experience of a lifetime.
