Wow!! Experience World Class Service with Helinas!
They lived up-to expectation and beyond. Had a most fabulous experience. From the handling of my Itinerary, my bookings, transfers, the holiday itself, it was stress-free. I'm a regular traveller on business and holiday and this time round I chose Helinas for my long overdue local holiday......to Samburu Shaba. The staff handled my family's itinerary with expertise and a great deal of professionalism. The drive was very pleasant and comfortable. The driver....soo tolerant of the little rascal; very knowledgeable as well......didn't think I would know so much more of my country's heritage...a true bonus! Helinas has surely become my lifetime partner.

We had a great experience with Encounter - excellent communications
I was a bit reluctant to transfer such a large sum on the basis of something I found on-line, but Encounter was excellent and really good with communications. I was flying in from West Africa and meeting my niece who was flying in from Nairobi - we only had about 4 days so it was really important that it all come together. The best thing about Encounter is its communications before and during the trip. They send out constant reminders and let you know about the dates and everything you will need in terms of visa and clothing. We stayed at the Broadbill camp, and it was beautiful - right in the jungle. From front to finish it was a perfect time, Patrick was an excellent guide and made sure we were at all appointments on time. He knew so much about the wildlife and the history of Uganda. We spent an hour with a family of 10 - up close and in the middle of them. Two silverbacks. One passed so close by me, I could have reached and out touched him. No questions about Encounter. Really great.

Exciting tour with a great driver
We had a perfect trip to Kenya this easter with a great and experienced driver, Tony. March was a good month for seeing the different animals. We did Samburu, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Amboseli and loved it all.

Reliable and trustworthy
Exciting tour operated by Outlook Safaris. We could spot Big 5 and super 7 during our 4 day safari. Prompt pickup from Johannesburg by Outlook Safaris, The trip to Blyde canyon too was exciting. Only concern was the camp accommodation where AC was noisy and the cobwebs inside the bedroom was irritating. Excellent follow up and service from Krugerpark.com

Safari
Overall we had a good experience with Absolute Holiday Safaris. Coordination, lodge bookings, communication, pick up and drop off - all very positive. And competitively priced.
The actual jeep we were allocated was rather time-worn, but (surprisingly enough) made it successfully to and back from Serengeti...part of adventure I guess! Our driver/guide was attentive and welcoming, however I would have preferred if he had offered insight/info about animals and areas we visited.

Big thanks to Richard, Edgar and the World Tours Team!
My friends and I went on an unforgettable 3 day trekking trip up Mount Meru followed by a 6 day safari trip with World Tours & Safaris.
We originally booked our tours with another company that did not work out because they were dishonest and scammed us of our money.
The manager of World Tours & Safari, Richard, was extremely helpful throughout our entire time there. He connected us with the police to help us with our unfortunate situation, brought us to the bank as well as offered to take us on our safari trip at a very reasonable price (knowing we had just been scammed by another company).
The overall safari experience was amazing as his English speaking safari guide, Edgar, was a very kind, laid back and knowledgeable man. He was great at spotting animals and we were able to see the Big 5 and cleaned the land cruiser nightly to ensure we would have a great start every morning . The accommodations chosen throughout our stay in the safari was excellent. I would highly recommend Edgar, Richard and all of World Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for a tour in Tanzania, Africa.
Excellent company providing a fantastic service, run by professional and reliable employees!

Malcolm planned a great adventure for us in the 12+ days we traveled primarily through Botswana. This was a planned "roughing it" camping trip with few amenities (Real Africa!). This was my first trip to Africa and what I learned right away was that despite the best planning there are few certainties in Africa (weather, roads, availability of diesel fuel, just to name a few). Malcolm and his comrade Siggy were able to guide us through anything that came up and we made it to all of our planned sites and we had a great time. Some of my best memories however are from the unexpected detours. If you are looking for a memorable camping experience I would strongly recommended Simba 4x4 tours. You will not be disappointed!
