Perfection Realized
Viewpoint responded to our inquiries right away. Donna is very attentive and did more than expected to help us organize our adventure. We chose a private safari for 2. It was amazing. Having the pop top truck to ourselves enabled us to get the best views of everything along the way. Also, not worrying about holding up a group, and making our way to breakfast at our leisure was a plus.
Idi was our guide and teacher. He is the best of people, proud of Tanzania, and happy to share all it's wonders with you. It feels we acquired a lifetime of experience in less than two weeks. Exploring Arusha. Tarangire. Lake Manyara. Visiting a Masai boma. Exploring Mto wa Mbu with Abraham as our guide. Spending time with locals. Learning about banana beer and it's relevance in the culture. Meeting artists and artisans. Shopping. Driving the Countryside. Absorbing the Serengeti. Mbuzi Mawe tented camp. Unforgettable tastes and smells and an awakening of the senses. Lunching with Lions. Observing countless animal and plant life. The Sights. A walking tour of the Serengeti with a Park Ranger, and Nature Guide! Ngorongoro Caldera. The Views. Visiting a primary school and an orphanage. Appreciating how precious life is and how lucky we are. Feeling in the middle of your life that it's just beginning. Enjoying the beautiful and relaxed Zanzibar. Learning the history of and exploring Stone Town. Forging lifelong friendships. This truly is an adventure that may you may not better.

Our most exciting trip yet - made effortless thanks to Jonathon and his team at Encompass Africa.
Jonathon Wilson and his team at Encompass Africa really gave us our best trip yet. Initial telephone conversation with Jonathon was enough for us to choose this company. Jonathon was warm, informative and engaging - a pleasure to talk to and later to deal with. He advised us that Tanzania would suit all our requirements for what we wanted from a safari, and we truly loved every single minute. The whole trip was effortless from start to finish thanks to Jonathon and his team and we can't wait to book again! The whole process (about a year in the making) was exciting as Jonathon was always available to talk to and no question was too trivial to be answered. Look no further if you are considering travelling to any country in Africa as Encompass Africa are highly professional, highly knowledgeable and lots of fun!

We had a most wonderful individually and expertly guided nature tour in Uganda.
A magnificent trip took us to Uganda July 15 to July 29, 2014, expertly guided by Muhumuza Deogratius; Deo for short. We had intended to book our trip through a local Ugandan travel agent and were lucky to find Deo recommended on the www.birdingpal.org website. Deo responded to our inquiries immediately and to our satisfaction. He booked our travel route according to our wishes and the accommodations selected by him were all very pleasant, clean and located in beautiful and safe environments. Every detail of the planned itinerary in Uganda was provided as promised.
Being interested in nature, birds and anything else that flies and walks, Deo was the perfect guide for us. He could spot and name any bird just from hearing its song. He also showed us many mammals in the various diverse national parks of Uganda. As we had requested, he took us to the mountainous forest vegetation and animals therein, and with great patience let us enjoy nature at a relaxed pace of driving with many stops and observations on foot.
It was a pleasure for us to realize that Deo was very open to our special interest in insects. He was fascinated and eager to be introduced by us into the world of little critters that he had never paid attention to or seen close-up through a magnifying lens. Therefore, the marvel of learning and enjoying was reciprocal and made this trip one of the best of our many travels. And we are sure, by traveling with us Deo became a more broadly interested, and interesting nature guide.
For any visitor who wants to enjoy African nature Deo is the best and most dedicated guide that we can think of. We highly recommend him and wish that he will be able to guide many more nature-loving tourists through his beautiful homeland of Uganda, and thereby enhance the mutual understanding of the people in this world.

Brilliant safari
We booked our Milestones safari through Honey Badger Lodge (a fab place to stay). There were six of us plus Cornel our guide on a five day safari. Our trip was tailor made for us and we relied heavily on Milestones/Honey Badger to suggest areas to visit and places to stay. It was a fantastic experience - the lodges were varied (in places such as the Serengeti choice is limited) from a luxury lodge to a tented camp and all had their own charm, plus points and quirks. Apart from the food at the Serengeti lodge, everything was great and we would stay in any of the lodges again - Thank you Milestones! The actual safari was amazing, Cornel was a brilliant guide (with a great sense of humour) - he could spot a Leopard hidden in a tree at 100 yards (we needed binoculars!), we saw all of the big five as well as giraffes, monkeys, warthogs, hyena, elephants, Ostrich etc etc. On different occasions we were surrounded by lions and then by elephants - what an experience! Thank you Milestones, I can't recommend you or Honey Badger (Moshi) enough

Well organised, interesting and exciting.
This was my first safari, and I could not have wished for a better experience. Everything was planned well, everywhere we stayed was excellent and everybody was helpful. Certainly a professional team. We visited Amboseli, Tsavo, Naivasha and Nakuru and saw the 'Big Five' as well as many, many other animals. A truly breathtaking trip. Highly recommended.

Very well run and professional, but with a personal touch
The safari was everything we had hoped for, and more. It was very well organised, the service was personal but still professional, the different accommodations were all excellent, and we had a marvellous time with a knowledgeable driver in a comfortable and suitable vehicle. A fantastic experience all round.
