Amazing game viewing
Did a 3 night, 4 day safari in October and loved it. I signed up to it on my own, and there was just one other person on the trip so it was a very private and personal experience. We did the basic camping safari. Tents are provided and put up for you prior to you arriving at the campsite. You have 2 members of staff - a chef and a guide. Guide is brilliant at spotting wildlife and very knowledgeable. Chef really impressed me with the food. There was always an abundance of it so you never go hungry.
We were originally due to go to Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorogoro but at the last minute our guide changed from Lake Manyara to Tarangire as he'd heard that the wildlife wasn't very good in Lake Manyara for a few days prior - so they always try to take you to the best places. When in the parks, the guides all speak to each other so you have a higher chance of viewing wildlife.
In the Serengeti & Ngorogoro crater, the campsites are really wild. Often, lions and other wildlife walk through the campsites. I found this very scary when sleeping in the tent!
Saw incredible things, the only thing we didn't spot was the black rhino but they are very rare. Managed to see a cheetah really close up which was probably the highlight. An abundance of elephants and giraffes. Lions eating a zebra and fighting. Plenty of wildebeest. Everything was incredible.
Also, Richard (who runs the company) will really look after you. Even while not on safari, he set up a good hotel the nights either side, and helped me get into Arusha town by taxi and showed me how to get back. He will help you with any questions at all.

Awesome experience!
My mother and I booked with Wildlife Safaris for a 4 day tour through Kruger. We had a great time and especially loved our guide Hoppy. Accomodation was good. Food at the included restaurants was very good. The group size of four people was perfect and our guide was obliging to stop for us whenever we wished to take a photo. Cons were that we thought the first day of driving through the mountains to get to Kruger was very long and overrated . The safari vehicle was good but would have liked some blankets and or wind protection supplied as we were freezing in the wind.

A Fascinating, Unique Experience
I was absolutely delighted with the impeccable service provided by Joseph and his dedicated team at Bamboo Ecotours.
The drivers and tour guides are extremely knowledgable about the spectacular natural environment of Kisoro and the fascinating cultures of the people and they share their knowledge generously with curious visitors.
Joseph was flexible and willing to customise any tour for members of my group; from transporting us to the national park for gorilla treks, tours of coffee farms, kayaking on the beautiful lake or visiting the Batwa tribe who live in a remote corner of the surrounding hills.
Joseph and Godfrey took my friend from Mexico and I on a visit to the Batwa tribe, which tourists rarely encounter. We were deeply touched by their plight and the challenges they face and also overwhelmed by their gift of friendship in singing and dancing for us.
Bamboo Ecotours is an extremely professional, conscientious service dedicated to excellence in tourism and devoted to protecting and caring for the beautiful region of southern Uganda.
I feel very privileged to have visited this idyllic part of East Africa and very grateful to Joseph and his team for making my stay so amazing.

Stunning Trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
We recently went to Tanzania for a Safari trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with my husband and our friends from Canada. I think we can call it the best trip so far and we already plan to return to Tanzania next year. Our guide Lawrence was an amazing spotter. He spotted some very difficult sightings of leopards and the most incredible was a Rino in the Crater. We are going with him again next time for sure. Great plan created by Paul and Mike in the office to cause minimum inconvenience and give us enough rest through the trip in very comfortable yet within our budget accommodation. I really appreciate Paul's patience with me and my constant haggle with staying in the budget. We couldn't have asked for more really. KatiKati camp was our best experience with accommodation. I can keep writing about it, but truly Tanzania has to be experienced to know more. We are so overwhelmed with our trip that we wish to come back as soon as we can. Thanks for making it memorable Mike!! Good luck for Migada.

Seeing the animals in their habitat was the most incredible experience i have ever had !
I must say thank you, to Private Kruger Safari's for their support and assistance made my safari, a life experience. It was my first trip to Africa. PKS shared with me a most warm welcome upon arriving, to the special care given me right up to my departure at the airport,PKS made my trip outstanding. Their knowledge of the bush allowed my safari experience to be the most incredible trip i have ever taken ( i have traveled all over the world). i was able to see and photograph all the big five and what i learned from them , the magnificent seven . The time spent on the hunt for these animals was well spent because i learned about each one in a very special manner from guides that knew the bush , as one guide, named Arrno said "the bush is my office" I look forward to going farther in to the bush with PKS on another safari.
self drive safari to africa
My Husband arranged our self drive tour through Africa with Fleetfoot Safaris. Hennie arranged everything for us including hire of the 4WD which we picked up in Capetown, everything Hennie booked was spot on, border crossings were made easy with his guidance and information. He even contacted us several times to make sure we were ok and that all bookings were as planned. I cant thank Hennie and Fleetfoot Safaris enough for all the effort they put in to make our safari a success.

7 day Safari - Kenya & Tanzania
Mr Otieno and his team were really attentive, caring and extremely nice people. When organising the safari tour he was more than willing to answer our constant emails of questions and was very quick to respond. Also very flexible and knowledgeable on how to best tailor a safari itinerary to our needs and places we wanted to see. The accommodation provided was really nice and we felt safe in an unknown country, especially as it we were only two girls travelling independently.
This trip was made so much easier and stress free having OT and his team.
Thank you!

Great trip
The trip was great - the Flash team met us at the hotel when we arrived, and gave us a quick debrief of what to expect over the next few days. They were really friendly and communicative. Everything was well organized, we didn't run into any issues.

Self Guided Safari Through Southern Africa
My wife and I wanted to do our own self guided safari through Sth Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Vic Falls, Chobe and the Okavango Delta. After much searching we chose Fleetfoot Safari's. Despite us being in Australia, Hennie put together a fantastic safari for us, taking in everything that we wanted to see. Accomodation, 4WD Hire, Flights, all worked out just right. Not a hitch anywhere in nearly 12,000km's. We even got to meet Hennie's lovely wife and joined them for a meal as we came through Kynsna on our way back to Capetown.
We will certainly return to Africa to do other parts, and will certainly use Hennie's services again.
