The best park in Kenya with uncountable wildlife numbers
When I visited this park in August, the migration of the animals was fully ongoing. There were hundreds of thousands of animals out in the huge savanna, they were uncountable.
The Zebras and Wildebeests crossing the Mara River was an amazing thing to watch, something extraordinary that one has to watch in a lifetime. We were also very lucky to see a lion kill wildebeests and also buffalo.
Also, managed to see a pride of 18 lions at one spot in Masai Mara, and even lions mating. This was the most outstanding park that we visited.
The safari company we booked with ensured we had the best game viewing in this sanctuary and recommend African Sermon Safaris operator. Their guides, Ben and James are also top class.

A fantastic holiday
We have done many long haul trips and we've been to some amazing countries, but this holiday was the best of the lot!
We couldn't have asked for a better holiday , If only Safarihub dealt with the rest of the world!
It was a pleasure to deal with Eleanor and her knowledge of all aspects of our holiday was spot on. Every single transfer went to plan, all on time, and the accommodation at all the venues was exactly as she had described it to me.

All of us loved it the whole time!
This was the best trip my family has ever gone on!!! The places we stayed were incredibly beautiful, especially at Ngorogoro Crater and Karatu, and also in Arusha, where we woke up every morning to monkeys running around outside our balconies! Riding around in the Landrover was fun, and we got to see SO MANY animals, including three leopards and a baby cheetah!! All because Gideon is a fantastic guide and knew where to find them all. And our entire family was happy the whole time, which almost never happens.

“14 days Rwanda & Uganda memorable tour 17th September 2015”
While in search of a company that would provide professional and personalized touch to our family planed jungle safari, on the google search Engine ; Charis Uganda Safaris website popped up with a variety and well-designed safaris ; subsequently I send an E-mail enquiring about a 14 days safari Rwanda, Uganda. My E-mail was quickly responded to by Gloria who furnished me with all the information that I need to prepare for our safari.
We had an exceptional trip with our magnificent, thoughtful, knowledgeable, driver guide Emma, who knew the region as the back of his hand. Despite the patches of bumpy road- he kept us up-to-date, as well as entertained. Wow the custom built van was very comfortable, clean and in a good state. The lodges Cassia Lodge, Primate Lodge, Top View Hill Hotel were well chosen. The boat launch in Queen Elizabeth rewarded us with what Emma called the school of hippos, alongside, buffalos, crocodile’s elephant, and a range of beautiful birds, eminent – the white pelican-, bathing. Gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda left me and my family speechless – we had never seen such a huge animal in its natural environment. As a family we agreed that a repeat visit to this beautiful virgin lands is more than the monies worth, this trip was certainly memorable for us. Searching for a company to give you the best tour company in East Africa; do not hesitate to contact Charis Uganda Safaris – indeed we were led to “Befriending Africa’s jungle and Culture with Charis Uganda Safaris”

Everything was perfect and the service level was much higher than we expected. We spent 5 nights at the beautiful Tremisana lodge and we meet only friendly people, great staff, got great food and relax in a perfect garden. Rangers are superb and funny, we enjoyed every single moment there, morning bush walking, morning game drive, afternoon/sunset game drive, night drive. I can't be thankfull enough what we experienced there.

Sept 2016
We just spent 15 days in South Africa, Botwana, Zambia and Zimbawe. Debra, from Born Free was our agent. She was a gift from heaven! She was never pushy or trying to sell us anything. She quickly foundout what our interest was and came up with a plan and itenerary. Then proceeded to help us with all our preparations. Visaa, pass ports, money, immunizations, ect. She left nothing out. The trip went perfect. We had NO worries. We had such a wonderful experience. Her advice and assistance was exceptional. She obviously was an expert and proffessional. If you are ever planning a trip to Africa, Debra should be your agent. I will be returning and She will definitly be planning my next adventure! Debra, Thankyou for making our trip so wonderful and perfect!

Amazing experience and service
Climbed Kilimanjaro as part of a charity expedition and the moment we landed received such a warm welcome. The guides and porters were very friendly and helpful, even when I struggled due to altitude sickness I received nothing but support and motivation to carry on. Without their help I wouldn't have made it to summit day! 100% would recommend this company and experience!

Fantastic Safari to Hluhluwe/Imfolozi and St. Lucia
We had a fantastic 3-day/4-night trip to Hluhluwe/Imfolozi an St. Lucia with Endless Summer Tours. Our guide Steve was wonderful. He is personable, knowledgeable, very hard working and a great cook. He really went the extra mile to provide a superior experience. While Hluhluwe/Imfolozi may not be as well known as Kruger, we lost count of how many animals we saw in so many species. We were at times surrounded by a herd of elephants, saw three lions from a distance of 15 meters, and had a long and clear siting of African wild dogs, the most endangered carnivores in South Africa. At evenings during the braai at Mpila Camp, we had to keep the hyenas away by shining flashlights in their eyes. Rhino, buffalo, monkeys, baboons, impalas and warthogs wandered through the camp. All of this without the crowds of Kruger. In fact, for most of the time we saw no other cars on the roads. In St. Lucia we added hippos and the endangered samango monkey to our list of species encountered. I absolutely recommend Endless Summer Tours.

Amazing Kenyan experience.........
This was my first trip to Kenya - land of safaris and amazing adventure.To add on to the delight of our trip was the very well managed tours Namnyak Safaris headed by Mr.Clever and his very efficient driver Mr.Ali.
Things were coordially planned throughout the tour though there were a few loop holes ( food management).
Must appreciate the Hospitality of Mr.Clevers.
Cheery on the cake - Delicious dining experience at Gilani's at Nakuru.
On the whole we had an extremely memorable experience-amazing sights of wild life, insight into the Masai culture, the lovely lake Naivasha and last but not the least Nairobi city.
