Amazing 2 days cultural tours visiting Chaga and Masai Tribe
We had 2 amazing days making full day cultural tours with Donak Safaris.
We were with Hassan that was our driver and guide for this 2 days, he was great and we loved how puntual he was all the time for every activity.
We did a full day trekking tour around Kilimanjaro, where we visited the Chagga tribe and learned about the coffe, traditions of the tribe and the incredible caves and tunnels they used to do to escape and hide from the masais.
We did a nice trekking around the village with Emmanuel, who was our chaga guide and explained us everything about the Materuni Village and after the walk we arrived to the Materuni Waterfalls, that are the biggest around Arusha and Moshi. Was such an incredible first day and if you wanna experience Kilimanjaro for one day is the best tour to do.
Our second day with Donak Safaris was visiting Longido District and the Masai Tribe where we met Samuel, our masai guide. He took us around the Boma and explained everything about the masais and also we could walk to the masai Cave that is a holy place for them.
After the walk we had a really good hot lunch made by Donak Safaris and after that because it was Saturday we were able to visit the Masai Market in Longido where we saw the villagers making their trades and sales. Was a fantastic an really authentic experience.
For me and my husband is really important to actually get to know the people and their cultures and we loved that this was everything real, no museum or touristic shows. Just real people living real lives. If you want to have an authentic experience visiting the different tribes around Tanzania you have to do it with Donak Safaris!!
Thank you so much Beatus, Hassan, Emmanuel and Samuel for this experiences.

Honestly a Wonderful Company for Gorilla Trek!
I honest heartedly recommend East African Jungle Safaris for a Gorilla trek. Not only did they have a competitive price (the best, actually), the time with our driver/guide Samuel was a pleasure. He was prompt, helpful, well-informed, and his ready humor and great attitude really enhanced our trip. It's a long drive from Kampala to Bwindi, and thus the drive matters--Samuel was fabulous. The budget accommodations were quite nice; we enjoyed a comfortable mountainside stay at Broadbill Forest Camp, where the food was very good and the views absolutely beautiful.
I won't review the trek itself--that's led by Uganda Wildlife Authority staff, and it was wonderful and must to do a tour with this company.

"First to saw a Lions on the Tree and lot of other Animals, so much Excited"
My tour guide Frank, picked me early in the morning and reached at the main destination. After having lunch at the entrance of QENP, we started driving to head to towards game drive. Frank often stops and talks to the other guide/drivers as well to keep in touch with others. He told us that there is a family of lions on the tree. We had to turn back and picked up a Park Ranger to accompany us. After several minutes of driving we got that, and Wow!!! my first lions on the tree. Leisurely, hanging on the tree. Some of them sleeping, some of the lions wide awake, just lounging on the tree. Everything was just an amazing sight to see. There were at least 8 lions on the tree. I am so pleased to get the chance to see these amazing animals and all the animals in this park. With our guide, Park Ranger was most helpful as well.

Everything is perfect!
Sino Africa is a professional company. We requested to do hiking, and we organzied a perfect hiking day experience in Aberdare for us! We were surpised by the nature of the forest and view of the plain. Things were all great! We saw Big 5 and hotels were comfortable. We recommend them!

Exceptionally fantastic holiday in Uganda
It was such an exceptionally and fantastic tour of Uganda. I and my wife had a trip of Two weeks which was professionally organized and executed. In fact, their service was far beyond what we aspired to have. Our communication with Richard was prompt, professional and inspiring both before and during the trip. Our decision to book with Mukisa was because of the trust that we developed in Richard. His responses were always prompt, advisory and at times made suggestions that would suit our package as we desired.
On our arrival at the airport, we were warmly received by Richard who introduced Veronica and Solomon whom we spent the entire two weeks with as our guide and driver respectively. These two made our stay in Uganda very interesting and memorable. They are such good people, kind, friendly, professional and knowledgeable about all that we wished to know.
Uganda is indeed a country for anyone to spend his or her holiday and Mukisa safaris is the company to travel with. I without any second thought recommend Mukisa Safaris for anyone who wishes to visit East Africa.

This was a perfect Safari - simply perfect!
I'm not the kind to write reviews normally, but I am putting together my photos six months later and just aglow remembering how incredible this trip was. The sales team was incredibly helpful and the tour logistics ran super smooth - from multiple times of pick up at the airport as my friend and I were coming from different locations to no perfect hotel accommodations and time to do everything. I also want to say that Ezekial was the greatest tour guide we could have asked for - he seemed to know everything, found everything we asked to see and was the absolute perfect driving companion.
I know there are a lot of options out there - but I cannot imagine having a better experience!

Memorable experience in Kenya with Monkey Adventures
I started to get in touch with Monkey Adventures in Dec 2019 and Nyani used to handle my safari plan. He was patient and kind enough to answer all my queries. Provided that I had only 2 months to plan my safari in Kenya, I should appreciate his help towards clarifying all my queries, and the whole process booking and payment was smooth. Finally I booked 5 days Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha safari. I was flexible with the accommodation options and hence I found no issues there.
Once I landed in the Nairobi airport, Yvonne picked me up from the airport and I went to my Nairobi accommodation. She briefed about the tour in the evening. It was a warm welcome from them and I felt home and relaxed for the night. My tour started the very next day and I'm still as excited I was on that day.
On the safari starting day morning, the guide Joseph accompanied me throughout the tour. I had booked the Land Cruiser and it's truly a beast in that terrain! I was made aware that the last few kms towards Mara wouldn't be a pleasant drive. This vehicle manoeuvred through that road and the drive was manageable.
As a wildlife enthusiast, I know that the sightings are based on luck and it was definitely a lucky day for me. I spotted 4 of the big 5 animals (except rhinos) on the very first day. There was a leopard that was about to hunt a Gazelle but it missed the target somehow. Lucky day for the Gazelle but sad for the leopard. The endless Savannah would make even the giant elephants look tiny. Joseph was a knowledgeable and calm person. He spotted many species and explained about the rare species briefly. The next day when I was on safari, he contacted some others over the radio and we spotted a group of cheetahs. I was very happy about Masai mara as it was a dream visit there. Lake Nakuru and Naivasha didn't fail to surprise me either! I spotted many Rhinos, flamingoes, baboons, and Giraffes in Nakuru. And plenty of birds in both lakes.
It was truly a great experience and I would definitely visit Kenya many times again! Got to know that Monkey does safari in Tanzania and Uganda also. I've planned for Tanzania safai in Oct 2020 with them and hope everything goes as planned!
I'm already excited about my second safari and I would certainly recommend Monkey Adventures to my friends. Thank you everyone who were involved in making my safari experience special.
