It is a one-in-a-life time journey
Me and my friend had a great time with Wildebeest crew members during this trip. Our plane was delayed and Noah helped us with re-arranging all the hotel bookings, we were a bit sad that we missed the first day but all in all our trip was quite smooth. we had two drivers, Sydney in Kenya, and Enocky in Tanzania. Sydney was very experienced, we saw a big family of lions and baby lions, a family of hippos, rhinos, giraffes and other small creatures. We seem to have missed the great migration since all the wildebeests are already in kenya, so many of them....that was an amazing view.
We quite happy with the hotel arrangements, not cheap though hahaha . I love the Sopa one on the top of the mountain with great great view. the only regret is that because of the delay of our flight we didnt have more time. we would like to book wildebeest again if we are planning another safaris trip next time.

Amazing Kenyan Adventure!!!
I would like to thank Allen for a trip of a lifetime to Kenya! I traveled at the end of July/beginning of August 2017 for a 5 day solo safari. This trip was beyond my wildest dreams. I spent a lot of time researching many different options for tours and Allen was able to give me exactly what I was looking for in terms of cost and experience. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. Allen gave me all the details I needed and was very quick with answering any of my questions. Obama was the best guide ever!!! In Samburu (one night and one full day) I saw the Samburu 5 and 3 of the big 5. Lions, Elephants and Leopards. I also saw Cheetahs, Giraffes, Dik Dik, Hare, Eland and too many others to name. In Lake Nakuru (one full day) I saw the remaining 2 of the big 5. I saw a huge male Rhino (very rare) and lots of Buffalo. In Lake Naivasha, (one full day) I was able to see lots of hippos in the lake. At Hell's Gate (one full day) I saw the wonderful scenery at a slow pace and was able to take lots of photos and see all the herbivores that lived there. On arrival in Kenya, Allen went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He helped me get a Safaricom SIM card and helped me exchange $. On the road in between destinations, Obama showed me many wonderful places. I got to stop at the equator and I got to see the Great Rift Valley overlook. With, my other guide Allen (different than the manager Allen), he showed me a local market in Lake Nakuru, where I was able to buy traditional Kenyan products, like a Masai blanket and a nice traditional shirt. I can't say enough good things about Back of Africa. It was amazing! I highly recommend to everyone wanting a traditional experience in Kenya with a local small company for great quality and almost a family like experience to go with Back of Africa. I cannot wait to go back to Kenya with Back of Africa. They showed me how to fall in love with the country. Thank you for the best trip of my life!!!!:)

Wonderful People and Wonderful Tour
We did a River Boat Tour in Kasane with African Bush Lovers. These people are not only diligent but also persistent. My wife and I had a wonderful experience and I would recommend this trip for anyone! African Bush Lovers is the best!

Great people. Great service. Great itinerary.
My colleagues and I have used Intek for a couple of short trips in Uganda, and have always enjoyed ourselves. The staff is great in developing the itinerary to match our interests and preferences. And the trip itself is fun and well organized. Add to that Uganda's natural beauty, and you have a superb recipe. I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity.

Incredible 5 day trip with Foot Slopes!
Myself and coworkers went on this trip ahead of a business trip elsewhere in East Africa, and we're all SO happy we did! It was right within our price range and gave us the level of support we needed. David was our driver and he was so wonderful - he was accommodating and very fun throughout the trip, he even spotted a rhino in ngorogoro crater before any other guide that day!! That was the last of the big 5 we needed to see and he was amazing in finding the rhino and then helping us and other groups spot it in the distance. We saw every animal you would want to see multiple times and up very close. Way better than I expected!
The only critique I have is that it would be nice to have a little more information ahead of time on what we're doing, how much to pack, what we should bring along. Sometimes their communication wasn't the best, but overall it was a once in a lifetime trip that didn't break the bank!

Superb
We had an excellent trip from start to finish. Xavier picked us up promptly at our accommodation in Entebbe and transported us to QENP with a brief stop for chicken takeaway lunch!
Our accommodation at Marafiki lodge was first class. Excellent rooms, hot showers and really good food. The views were awesome!
The safaris themselves were absolutely first class. Xavier is a brilliant guide, a safe driver, thoroughly knowledgable and very good fun! He ensured we had the best opportunity possible of seeing all the predators. We weren't disappointed.
Xavier dropped us at our hotel in Kampala via a lovely stop for lunch at the Igongo cultural centre.
I would totally recommend using Xavier for an East African Safari. You're in good hands!

perfect honeymoon
an amazing safari tour with Easy travel. We did a 3 nights, 4 day safari with easy travel as part of our honeymoon and it was so special. Easy travel made the whole process so smooth and every detail was thought of. Gladys responded to all my questions promptly and was very accommodating. They ensured all the hotels and staff knew it was h=our honeymoon and they all went out of their way to make things special for us. Our tour guide thomas was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and knew where to go to see all the animals. We saw so many lions, cheetahs, leopards and so much more, Camping in the Serengeti was an unforgettable experience. We have an absolutely wonderful time and would like to thank all the staff at Easy travel for helping to make our honeymoon so special!

Amazing!!
My wife and daughter went for safari in Mikumi. Having been to Tanzania in the North few months ago we really weren't expecting much.. but this time was a pleasant surprise. We went with Safari Mashariki Expedition.
We spent a night in the Park. Rooms- large, very clean, good bedding, large bathroom, tiled shower stall, safe, and a fridge stocked with beer and water every day
I really did enjoy this safari and wouldn't hesitate to go back. A special thank to Rama guide!

Fantastic 7-day Northern Tanzania safari with Lawrence
Me and wife had a great 7-day Northern Tanzania tailor-made safari, covering Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with our tour guide Lawrance. We have seen Big 5 and covered all the great parts on the national parks we visited. Also visited Masai village, Olduvai Gorge and had a walking safari on Arusha NP.
I started planning the safari just 2 weeks before arrival, which is not usual comparing to advised 6-months ahead the forum. Walter always responded quick & promptly to my questions and made changes on the itinerary. This had been the decision factor against the other options.
I always felt that the change on the itinerary was fair. He assured me that everything will go as planned, although the international payment made to their account the day before arrival.
Lawrence, our tour guide with us for 7 days and more than 700km, has more than 15 years experience on doing safari on the visited national parks. He treated us as his close friend and take care of us for all needs. He was absolutely fantastic. Spotted animals which is really hard to see. In one case we had been the first car to spot the hiding leopard, which is 100 meters far from us, on Serengeti NP. In a short time more than 10 car happened to be there. Same happened for cheetahs and rhinos as well. He give brief information on each wild animal that we have seen for the first time. Had all trust on him to be showing us the wildlife we are keen to see.
Every day he asked if any special arrangement needs to be made, if we are keen to see a specific animal and suggested a change on the itinerary which helped us to spend more time on Ngorongoro NP than planned one.
I am happy to suggest Galloping Safari and especially our tour guide Lawrence for a great safari.
Sukhran Lawrence Baba. :)
