Excellent Safari Experience with The experts
5/5



No words can best describe our safari experience with the
Go2AfricaLuxurySafaris.com. We recently took a Kenya and Tanzania combined
safari trip to Masai mara Lake Nakuru , Naivasha Amboseli to Lake Manyara
NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP in Tanzania. What a
thrilling experience , incredible and honestly beyond our expectations.



We came to know this reliable safari company through a friend who had
taken 12days trip with them and was back full of joy ,photos of almost all
the Animals plus the masai cultural practices , lot of experiences. We
got into contact with simon who was really helpful and quick in responding
to our un ending mail conversation, very honest and discrete with his
answers . We made some 30% deposit of the total cost to help do the
bookings for our accommodation and the rest cleared off on our material
day as we were picked up from the Airport.


Our incredible journey started right from here, we met Japheth and the
guide Gordon, Japhet took us through the itinerary once again just to
ensure that we are exactly going to get the same itinerary that we had
discussed and booked, cleared the balance in their airport office and
later set off for the trip


Major credit to the guide, who did a wonderful job, very much experience,
flexible, noble, friendly with big heart & sense of humor. The experience
is unforgettable, the skills, experience and attitude of Go 2 Africa
Luxury safaris. Simon, Japheth & Gordon were fundamental for the success
of our trip through Kenya and Tanzania. The places are marvelous, lots of
animals and panoramic views....Without doubt, the best places in Africa to
have a safari...The itinerary were perfect. In each stop the lodges / camp
chosen by the agency was outstanding, game drives, the food, very good,
fresh and delicious, even the packed lunch; always big enough and good
quality. The car, extremely important in a safari, was very comfortable,
with power sockets to recharge the cameras.


Generally the complete experience were fantastic...Thanks a lot to the
company and her team of professional staff who made our trip more
enjoyable.

I would absolutely recommend Go 2 Africa Luxury safaris to anyone going to
either Kenya or Tanzania for a safari;True and up to the task , affordable
safari packages , flexible, reliable and sure value for money. experts for
the true essence /magical feeling of African safari holiday you ever
dreamed of.

What a Trip -- Thanks to Easy Travel!
5/5

Going on safari in Northern Tanzania was part of a retirement celebration for my husband and me.  We carefully planned the itinerary, (deciding which parks, number of days, route and accommodations) in order to make a very special and customized trip.  Also included was a stay in Zanzibar at the end of our safari.  Our Canadian travel specialist worked closely with Easy Travel to realize our dreams and we ended up with an unforgettable experience!

We were impressed by Easy Travel’s professionalism as displayed on its website and through personal contact with staff.  We appreciated their attention to detail -- booking our 3 Tanzania flights, organizing transfers with prompt and cheerful drivers, recommendations for accommodations and much more. They were quick to ensure that we were happy with everything and to resolve anything that needed attention.  Caudence even phoned us in the middle of the Serengeti to see how things were going and to give us a better option for our flight from there to Zanzibar.  The Land Cruiser we had on safari was well maintained and comfortable.

Our accommodations ranged from tented camps to lodges and we enjoyed every one of them.  Staff were extremely friendly and attentive and wanted to please.  The food was excellent with more than ample portions.  And the animals -- amazingly up close!  Even though all these detailed arrangements were made to order, spending 7 days in close proximity with a complete stranger could have been awkward or uncomfortable.  Not so with Jackson!   From the moment he met us at the airport, we knew he was the driver-guide for us!  

Jackson not only patiently answered ALL my questions, he encouraged more!  He taught us so much about the flora and fauna, the habits and habitats of the animals, and the people, customs and politics of Tanzania.  Jackson went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable trip and were seeing the animals we were most interested in.  He was a skillful driver with remarkable knowledge about the terrain, and was able to spot animals far off and take us to watch and photograph them (for as long as we wanted).  We felt safe and very fortunate to be under his care.

 Jackson’s sense of humour and happy personality made him a  great companion during the whole tour.  He was fun and interesting to talk with and his passion for the people of Tanzania showed through.   Jackson’s warmth, experience, and enthusiasm made our safari all that we had wished for.

About: Biwakwango
Let yourself be driven by Biwakwango in South-Africa and Lesotho.
5/5

For sure the most beautiful trek we did in our live. No doubt about, it is thanks to the organization of Biwakwango and especially Thierry. He can exactly understand the mentality, the aptitude and the needs of his group. Biwakwango is the best choice when looking for welfare, empathy, security, diplomacy, humor, selection of exceptional places to visit, great knowledge of the land, good cook, good driver, employing the right guides and the best assistants. For us, an experience to repeat.

Amazing and friendly
5/5

In order to find a word to define our Kenya & Tanzania expierence, i think it is extraordinary!!!!

Because it includes de places selected we visited, the crew of Wildebeest Safaris, the food, the lodges, crews on lodges, the season on parks, the trucks.... you now, everything was perfect!!!!!

But i point the Wildebeest Safaris crew in a special place. Both Peter (in Kenya) and Hamza (in Tanzanya) were very good men!!!!

They were at all time resolving every thing necesary to enjoy the safari. We´ve felt so glad because that and all efforts to this.

The lodges selected were very good, and prices corrects. Both Kenya and Tanzanya people is so friendly so we´ve been very comfortable. And food and beverage was excellent.

I would like to repeat the experience!!!!

Thank you very much!!

King Regards,

Muchísimas gracias por toda la atención que nos han brindado en nuestro safari por las tierras de Kenia y Tanzania. Todo estuvo mejor de lo esperado. Excelente la atención de los guías (Peter y Hamza), siempre bien dispuestos a todo lo que necesitábamos, con mucha cordialidad y calidez.

Excelente la selección de los lodges que estaban incluidos, no solo desde lo confortable de cada uno, sino que también eran muy buena la atención en cada uno de ellos, al mismo tiempo que los servicios de restaurantes brindados.

Las camionetas Land Cruiser se comportaron muy bien, acorde lo esperado.

Me resultó impecable la elección de los parques visitados, que fueron increíbles, por su belleza geográfica, las formaciones boscosas y la cantidad de animales, que hacían fácil llevarse buenas fotografías y filmaciones. Pude ver todos los animales, a excepción de serpientes (MEJOR!!!). AJAJAJAJJA

Muchísimas gracias nuevamente Noah, y espero podamos tener la dicha de volver otra vez a estas tierras!!!!

Cordialmente,

Melchor y Cecilia Hereu (Argentina)

Friendly and experienced tour operator specialized in Uganda
5/5

My trip to Uganda was great! Budget's head guide showed us all the highlights of Uganda and explained a lot about the country. Overall we had a very well organised trip to Uganda, with the best guide you can have, we didn't have to do anything except relax and enjoy. Great wildlife and nature. A great African experience!

The service was out standing, Cuan answered every question to make it easy to choose our holiday.
5/5

From the fist email to African Ubuntu Safaris they made sure our holiday was going to be a holiday we would remember for a very long way. The arrangements for our holiday were no effort for African Ubuntu and from the moment we left home to the day we got back all went to plan without a moment of concert. The tour company in South Africa (Thompsons) looked after us first class, and every minute of our safari holiday was more than we expected South Africa is a beautiful country and well worth a visit. Cuan and African Ubuntu Safaris were excellent.
Thanks for the memories!!

5/5

I would recommend African Ubuntu Safaris without any hesitation. We planned and booked our recent Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania using Ubuntu. Communication was fantastic and prompt and we organized a relatively complicated Itinerary via email with only one or two telephone conversations. Our safaris were fantastic .We loved the camps that we had chosen( with advice from Cuan from Ubuntu) and everything went to plan. There were no hiccups ,from airport pick ups and tranfers ,to light plane travel between camps . Our Safaris provided us with exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for. This showed great understanding and a wealth of knowledge on behalf of Ubuntu to be able to plan and provide us with safaris that were specific to our expectations. I have and will continue to recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to anyone planning to visit Africa .

From the minute I chose to book a safari for my husband and I with Makasa, I was not disappointed! In fact, I was truly blown away by the care and attention Selma took in planning our safari, and keeping in touch with me throughout the whole process, including matching us up with another traveller to share our safari experience with and reduce our overall cost.

The night before our safari commenced, we stayed at MCF Kilimanjaro Lodge, and were lucky enough to meet Selma, her husband Ngomi and their beautiful children. It was obvious to see how passionate they are about Tanzania and the Safari industry. We were made to feel very welcome, like part of the family really! It was the perfect start to our week - beers on the deck amidst the picturesque gardens, complementary snacks, and delicious, home-cooked meals. All staff at K-Lodge were super friendly and made sure that our night there was a comfortable one!

Below is a copy of the email I sent Selma after our safari - I think it sums up our feelings about Makasa:

Hi Selma,

I am just writing to say thank you so much from Tom and I for the most wonderful experience with Makasa!

Firstly, Peter, our safari guide, was an absolute legend! We got along with him so well, and he worked overtime to make sure that we didn't miss out on anything. We felt like we had the best guide in the whole of Tanzania. He was very well-informed about the animals we saw and the places we visited, he had an answer to every one of our millions of questions, and he was a complete gentleman, and made sure that we didn't go without anything! He really must be commended for the outstanding job he did whilst on our safari - we couldn't possibly have asked for any more from our guide!

Esther was a blast - we're really glad we were able to share our experience with her. We shared the same interests and had a lot of laughs along the way. We are currently missing our safari family of Peter and Esther very much!

The parks were a spectacle within themselves. Our favourite day was a 5am start to drive to the northern entrance of the Serengeti. We felt like the only car in the whole place, and we really had a chance to get up close and personal with the animals.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations like you wouldn't believe. After a night at Olpopongi, the luxury of Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge was very much welcomed. Kenzan lodge was very comfortable, and the service was amazing, as with all of our accommodations.
By far, our favourite accommodation was Endoro Lodge. We felt very lucky to experience such luxury basically in the middle of nowhere. The staff there were absolutely outstanding, and made us feel like family. The rooms were spectacular and the food was scrumptious!

All in all, we had the week of a lifetime! The itinerary was perfect and we honestly wouldn't change a thing! We really appreciated having the first night at Olpopongi, as it allowed us or understand and appreciate the Maasai way of life, as we encountered many more Maasai along the way. The group at Olpopongi were exceptional, and we had a really meaningful experience there (along with amazing food).

I have already started recommending Makasa to people we have met in Arusha, because I don't think that the package you arranged for us could have been beaten!

Thank you again, Selma and Ngomi, it was really lovely to meet you and your family.

Kind regards,

Claire and Tom Green
