Great safari!
Smooth sailing and a great safari trip through PaperJet! Justin was prompt in communicating and putting together a great package. Ask them what you want and they will try to make it happen at a good price. The lodge was luxuriously amazing and we had a great ranger and tracker for our stay. Madikwe is a reserve but it was still large enough where we had to track the animals and we were able to go off road. Even though it was winter, we still saw a variety of animals including: lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, kudu, cheetahs, rhinos, one impatient buffalo and many others. I would highly recommend this safari!

The elephants are so huge!
It's very nice to see so many different kind of animals in one Park.
It's wonderful season in early May.
The natural protection polices are very good. (for instance, Don't feed animals inside the park)

Great Experience
I was particularly impressed by how organised they were. I took the Amboseli trails which lasted 4 days as they had promised. I toured the most part of Kenya. The staff were hospitable and very friendly. I look forward for another adventure on my next vacation.

Awesome safari experience
I did a 3 day Safari with Adventure Dragon Safaris. I had one guy with me as a driver and he also took care of everything. He was great and fun company and I felt very safe with him. The camp site was very nice and the tents were clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Food was good also. Definately a great deal all together!

Fabulous views on Kidepo National Park
From the moment our driver (David) picked us up in Kampala it felt good. He explained a lot, about the country, the places we passed by, the people and the park we were going to visit. We could ask anything and about every subject he could tell something. When we entered the park it was really amazing. What a beautiful place to go to. The wide nature surrounded with mountains was magnificent. We saw animals in their natural habitat and visited the hot springs, close to the border with South Sudan. The ranger that joined us also explained a lot about the park. The second day we visited a Karamodja village. Without feeling a tourist, they led us through the village and explained things about the way of living of the people in Kidepo. We danced with them, played with the kids and again had some amazing views. On the way back to Kampala we bought different kinds of fruit to enjoy at home. After dropping us of safely in Kampala we really agreed that it was a perfect trip.

A totally unforgettable two days and one night!
We were two business colleagues who had a couple of days to spare after a conference in Nairobi, and we decided to spend them in the Maasai Mara. KET Safaris did a fantastic job for us. Our driver, Francis, was excellent.
In the course of our two days, we saw all at very close range, and to watch for as long as we wanted: thousands of gazelle, impala, wildebeest, buffalo and zebra, lots of giraffe, hippo, elephant, warthog, meerkats and baboons, a few lions in prides, hyenas, rhinos, crocs, ostriches, many pretty and exotic-looking birds, and a leopard in the tree above us, and a cheetah eating his lunch. Perhaps we were extremely lucky to see all of this in 24 hours - I don't know. Certainly our driver, Francis, was very skilled at finding the animals for us.
Ashnil Mara Camp where we stayed was an extremely comfortable oasis in the middle of the Maasai Mara. Technically, it was under canvas, but definitely ‘glamping’, - as comfortable as any hotel or resort.

My trip to Africa with Grassrootz was organized, awesome and adventurous!
I have only good things to say about Grassrootz. We sent Sander an ambitious itinerary(which we changed several times) and he made recommendations and chose all of our accommodations. Our guide, David, met us at on our first day. He was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He was with us for the next 10 days throughout Southern Uganda and Rwanda. Our accommodations were located in beautiful settings and in every location we were provided with excellent customer service. All of our safaris and trekking experiences were organized in advance and exceeded our expectations. I would use Grassrootz again and recommend them to anyone traveling in the area.

Honeymoon with the Gorillas
Our driver picked us up at our lodging in Kampala on time. He was very courteous and informative for our drive to Rwanda. He checked us into our lodging in Rwanda (excellent hotel!). He returned early the next morning and took us to the Park. We met with our Park Guides, joined our small group and went trekking for Gorillas. Great tour and we were able to spend extra time with our new Gorilla Family. An experience of a lifetime and not to be missed. We highly recommend Devine African Safaris!
