memorable safari
I booked four days safari with Bencia Africa adventure together with my other four friends to Masai Mara...we got a welcoming reception from the staff and we managed to see the big five through the tour guide who really made the trip so interesting...I therefore recommend Bencia as the most reliable company you can't retreat about their service...kindly contact Alfred !!!!

Family Adventure
It was our first time in Kenya as a family and we were rather unsure of what to expect . We were well received at the airport by the Representative Faith and proceeded on safari to Amboseli. The food was excellent throughout and was all included in the price. Our favourite was Sentrim Amboseli which is a tented camp with modern facilities and has a great atmosphere. There was a wide variety of animals to view wherever we went and that’s a plus to the agent for being able to anticipate client’s needs. We would thoroughly recommend booking a trip with Kenya Tru Nomads Tours

Exploring Undiscovered Destinations with the help of Chalo Africa
Thanks to Sangeeta Prasad i went to Gonarezhou National Park which is one of the finest undiscovered national parks in Africa. It receives only about 2000 visitors annually are practically all of whom self-catering guests from South Africa. Sangeeta is incredibly knowledgable,and provides superb back up service. She is a charming,and kind lady. I couldn't recommend here more. She is very honest,and will do her utmost to give all her clients the best price. I live in Kenya,nevertheless I'm planning to give her much more of my business.Safari is truly her passion,not just her business. I also consider her and her husband to be personal friends of mine,

Amazing trip in a magnificent country
From the first e-mail till our arriving in Entebbe, the contact with Simba was great.
They responded very quickly on all our questions we had by e-mail.
When we arrived in Entebbe airport everything went smoothly and an hour later we were already in the Boma hotel.
Our driver and guide for our trip was Alex, really a very good driver and an excellent guide.
He's speciality are birds, but he also gave us lots of info about all the other animals we saw. We really want to thank Alex for the wonderful experience we had in Uganda.
During our trip we were lucky to see the most of the wildlife in Uganda and Alex did everything to make this possible.
So we had a wonderful time in Uganda and treasure all to beautiful memories.
All the lodges that were planned in our trip were great and we also enjoyed very much the food.
Only the lodges that were planned in our trip The Primates Lodge in Kibale and the Semulike Safari Lodge, that were changed without our knowledge in the Lodge Chimps Nest was a disaster, the water in our room was polluted (dark brown and muddy) and when we informed Simba about this problem, they did not do anything to improve our situation. Staying 3 nights in a lodge that is not suitable to receive guests and nobody was taking any action(except our driver, who called many times the head office), give you a very bad feeling.
Even now we don't understand why they changed the lodges, not only one but two.
Also on the program they put that non-alcoholic drinks are included in souper and dinner, but this is not true.
You have to pay for all your drinks at lunch and dinner.
But overall we had a great time, we really enjoyed Uganda and we recommend Simba to all our friends who want to visit Uganda.

Karibu by Name and Nature
'Karibu' is the Swahili word for welcome and although Swahili is not the lingua franca of Uganda, the welcome of the Guest House makes this a very suitable eponym. It was friendly, welcoming, organized, clean, cheerful, flexible, well priced and well located. The Principals, Kevin and Lesley, are well experienced and manage in a very personal way reflecting their experience of what it takes to succeed in tourism in Africa. They also organised our full itinerary including gorilla trekking in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the domestic flights, transfers, meals and accommodation to our complete satisfaction. We were delighted with every aspect of the trip and can thoroughly recommend Experience Uganda and Karibu as the best pathway to gorilla trekking in Uganda.

Simply the Best
As a couple with milestone birthdays of 60 and 70 we planned a very special trip. After a lot of research and getting quotes from both UK and Tanzanian companies for a safari to Tanzania’s Northern parks we settled on Easy Travel to work with. We are so glad we did as they delivered everything we could have hoped for and more. We decided early on that we would like a private safari with just the two of us and to plan the schedule to see as much of the country and wildlife as possible in a 2 week trip. After many emails this was all planned to meet our needs and our budget. As this was a first time safari we chose a mix of accommodation from large lodges, to small camps covering Lake Manyara, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and finally Tarangire. We then had 4 days on the beach at Res Kutani.
This was booked for September but due to a family issue we asked to move the dates to October. Chislon, the Easy Travel rep who organised the bookings, managed to switch all 8 accommodation bookings and one internal flight in a matter of days.
We also spent some time looking at the Easy Travel web site to see which of their guides we would like to share our company for such a long period. So glad we asked for Herman who we found to be a really lovely person, kind and caring to our needs but more important so knowledgeable on everything we were seeing. He also worked incredibly hard to provide us with the most fantastic experience either of us had ever had. From day one we felt safe in his company and trusted his judgement. Not only is he a very safe driver his wildlife spotting was incredible. From seeking out the big cats, elephants etc to suddenly pulling up to move a dung beetle to safety from the road, to pointing out a tiny frog hiding in a hole in the river bank. He also told us so much about all the animals and birds that he found for us, filling in lots of detail about how they lived - just amazing. As we were parked next to a very large lion one day he said to Julia ‘if the guide isn’t frightened then you shouldn’t be!’ Tanzania is a beautiful country and every day we were amazed and delighted at what it had to offer
The summarise the customer care we received from everyone at Easy Travel was simply the best and we hope to return in a couple of years and we would love to see Herman and Easy Travel again.

A personal, individually tailored Tour with a great guide.
The standard packages which Mamaland Safaris provides are full with interesting stops and nice lodges to stay. We booked "Magic of Nature" and Mamaland adjusted the Tour to our wishes, which was great and very uncomplicated. The communication was very good and they provided us with all Information we needed in advance. The Tour itself was amazing, full of very interesting places and our guide had a huge knowledge and could answer almost all our thousands of question about life in Uganda and nature.
