Repeat Customer
Repeat customer to both Kenya and Tanzania using Tersca Tours on 12 day safari visiting many new places with a few repeats.
Planning and communication with Peter, the owner , went smoothly and efficiently as he guided us in all details with adjustments made during the trip as requested by us.
The transfer at the border from one guide to another went smoothly. We were always in good hands.
Both guides, Comfort and Peter, were friendly, offered much info about their countries, the wildlife and the African lifestyle.
We stayed in a variety of lodging from a wilderness tented campground with a bucket shower to extremely deluxe tented accommodation on a hillside with spectacular view of Lake Nakuru and the city below. Superb Sunrise from our deck. Other locations offered great sunset views and from Kenya, a superb view of Mt.Kilimanjaro.
Peter, the owner, would often check in with us to be sure all was going well.
Abundance of wildlife in both countries. Each park has its own special ambiance.
I would suggest adding an extra day at several lodges rather then moving each day to enjoy the African warmth and friendliness .
Exciting , adventurous trip with excellent accommodations adjusted for ones budget.
In Nairobi, go to the Giraffe Center, Elephant Orphanage, Utamaduni Craft Center and the Bomas of Kenya show. All added to a wonderful Safari experience

Unforgettable Safari
Magufwa Safari's slogan is "Unforgettable safaris," and that is exactly what I was able to experience. I went with a group of 6 others (so 7 in total) to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, andthe Ngorongoro Crater on a 4-day safari. On this trip, we were able to see all of the animals we came to see, and the entire experience itself was phenomenal as well. The administrative team at Magufwa Safaris does everything it can to ensure you have a great adventure, including an initial consultation meeting to figure out the best safari itinerary that meets your interests, budget, and number of people. Overall, I have recommended this company to many of my friends, and I hope they will all be able to experience the same amazing adventure and the excellent professionalism that Magufwa Safaris has to offer.

Exhilarating and adventurous safari with great lodges in the middle of the wilderness.
Our guide, David, was the most friendly guide we have ever had in any of our trips. He really got along well with the family and was able to provide us with information and his experiences on every stage of the trip. With his help, we were able to see the infamous Big 5 and many more animals. The lodges were spectacular and well located. The only drawback was the initial hotel stay at Arusha Inn which leaves a poor impression and at times, the sub-par safari car which needed servicing often.

Awesome Safari Exceeded Expectations
Endless array of widelife was observed from the big game to the many variety of birds. Guide was extremely knowleadgable and patient in waiting for us to take our many photgraphs. Captured many phots of a lifetime. Accomadation in the lodges also exceeded my expectation. Would definately recommend Mega Adventures to anyone heading out on Safari.

It was simply awesome , fun filled , adventurous.
To start with David our driver cum Guide was really good. He had a lot of knowledge about each and every thing and very good conmunication skills. All the lodges where we stayed throughout the trip were very good. Good food , great weather and beautiful locations.
Only point of improvement is the Arusha inn where we stayed on day 1 and last night needs a lot of improvement.

Outstanding to say the least, the best wilidlife outing ever!!!
I and my friend went for a 3 day Gorilla and Golden Tracking Tour with Africa Tours Adventure. Now both of us are huge wildlife fans. We can no safely vouch that this is the most exhilarating experience once can have. Its ineffable to a certain extent because one has to really live the moment. Gorillas are amazing animal and its humbling to be in their presence.
We organized our tour via Africa Tours Adventure. Our main point of contact was Nicholas and our driver / guide was Bernard. The entire trip was flawlessly executed. We received exactly what we paid for and even more. Right from planning the trip, to making the payment online, to landing and traveling from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park to hiking to see the gorillas to ending the trip was amazing. I was blown away by the hospitality of both the tour organizers , the hotel and the Rwanda people. A big thank you!!
We also got a surprise upgrade on the lodge when we reached which was extremely satisfying. SO if you are planning this trip in Rwanda or Uganda contact these guys. You can be rest assured that the entire trip will be executed flawlessly
A big thumbs up. keep up the great work and let the world get a taste of this wonderful experience

Wonderful Experience
We had a great trip thanks to Darren at Compass Odyssey who supplied a detailed itinerary and scheduled everything we requested. We visited Victoria Falls and were accompanied everywhere by Mortimer or his people who were very friendly and efficient. We had a tight schedule to get in all our activities and everything went like clockwork. We then visited Chobe N.P. in Botswana. The wildlife was amazing. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely amazing experience.
I have been on Safari in Kenya before with a large worldwide company and I was wary booking direct with It Started In Africa but I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone wanting to go and experience Safari! From the very beginning emails were answered very quickly by the happiness managers. (The title always makes me smile!!) Joseph (AKA Kioko) was incredible, nothing was too much trouble for him and having spent the week together with me and my daughter I would like to say he is a family friend now. His knowledge of animal behaviour was brilliant. We saw the big five in three days. I can only compliment It Started In Africa and will definitely be booking with them again.

Wonderful Company-Wonderful Guide
This company is great! I contacted them after Rwanda doubled the cost of gorilla tracking and they helped us come up with an affordable, alternative plan. Our guide, Chris, was fantastic. He was one time, but we were late so he hurried us across the border and got us checked into a wonderful lodge, close to the gorilla tracking site in Uganda. The gorilla tracking is truly a once in a lifetime experience. He then dropped us off in Kigali and gave us some great suggestions for things to do and see. I highly recommend this company and this guide!
