Great Safari Adventure
Thank you for such an incredible trip.
I just would like to thank Bahati International Tours and Safaris amazing team! again for arranging the wonderful Tanzania safari we had last week! We saw the big 5, leopards hanging in a tree from very close, three tree climbing lions, cheetahs, elephants and in fact all animals we were looking to see not talking about thousands of wildebeest crossing the Grumeti River full of crocodiles. We really had an unforgettable time!

“Highly Recommend this tour company!”
This safari was a once in a lifetime trip for us. The best decision we made was to use Face of Africa adventures.
Everything was made so easy for us, the company have great staff which is the key to their future success. We dealt with Betty in the Arusha office. Her email responses were quick and extremely helpful. She also allowed us to completely customize our tour. Throughout the whole experience Betty was extremely attentive and we genuinely felt like we were cared for.
Our guide was Patrick. HE IS AMAZING. I recommend (if you can) ask for him. He's very experienced, he drove incredibly well. We always felt safe the whole-way through. He can also spot leopards, cheetahs and lions from hundreds of meters away! He also taught us a lot about the Masai culture and the wildlife.
The accommodation was great; the Serena hotels in particular were faultless!
We went in mid-December - our favorite location was Ndutu national park, if you have the opportunity go there during this time period. Here you can go off road whereas in the Serengeti there are restrictions.

We had an adventure of a lifetime!
We enjoyed a 9 day tour through Uganda and Rwanda. Encounter Safari company was excellent! The tour guide "Tolbert" was knowledgeable, friendly, and adaptable to all of our unique needs. Their vehicle, a "4x4 van" was clean, reliable and cozy. Their package was one of the most reasonable for costs and we enjoyed gorilla, chimpanzee, rhinos and volcano trekking. We explored the jungles through vehicle and foot safaris. Tolbert helped us get across the Uganda/Rwanda borders smoothly. All in all we are very happy with Tolbert and Encounter Safari's services and would highly recommend them to everyone looking for a reliable and affordable tour company for Uganda and Rwanda. Thanks Tolbert!

Unforgettable
We had booked a safari from 16 days to South Tanzania with Matoke Tours from the Netherlands. We have been there from January 21 to February 4, 2015.
In Dar es Salaam airport, we were spontaneously met by Emanuel, a driver / guide of Easy Travel. Communication was very good. With the jeep you do many miles and you can tell so much. The knowledge of Emanuel about the country of Tanzania, the animals and birds is enormous. During the safari he gave information about the birds, which he knows by name. How quickly he is able to spot animals is phenomenal. What we enjoyed this trip. We have seen lions eating a wildebeest. After the stomach was full, three little ones were called by the mother. The hunting of 16 wild dogs in convoy on a prey was beautiful to see. Emanuel saw a sleeping elephant under a tree. He also saw a couple in love lions on 100 meters, which made for posterity.
The many groups of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, baboons, wildebeest, zebras and other animals and birds we will never forget. Thanks to the flair of Emanuel. Our heartfelt thanks.
All of the Animals and More
We spent four nights with Bush Drifters, and had the opportunity to see all of the big cats (cheetah, lion, leopard), elephants, hippos, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, THREE rhinos, many types of antelope and gazelle, monkeys, and tons more. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the numerous species we saw, including the birds.
A fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations.
The trip was fantastic from our initial email dialogue to the moment I was dropped off. Communication was exceptional. The service was flawless. The education and sights were world class. I would recommend Seven By Far to anyone visiting Kenya.

A very well organised tour which provided an abundance of new experiences for the senses.
We all know what turns a holiday into a forgettable experience, but on this occassion not a single one of those usual dramas occurred. The simple things were done to perfection.....our luggage turned up, the tour guides were at the airport to transport us to this new land, the accommodation was brilliant - from stunning ocean views in Camps bay, to a porch off our ensuited tent in the Okovango Delta, elephants saundering past our tent in the middle of the night, camp kitchens providing 5 star meals, lions rubbing against out truck while travelling in the Ngorongoro crater, and for a change of pace high tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel.........so many places, such a marvelous time........this traveller will return

it was a great experience with a professional guide and unforgettable animal sitings
The professional and personal service that was given to us by Macho Halisi (office staff and driver guide) was more than we expected and made our Safari a once in a lifetime experience. The car was comfortable and in good condition. We enjoyed the trip tremendously and hope to be back one day.

African Ubuntu safaris went out of their way to ensure that we were happy with our tour.
We are grateful to you and to all your affiliates who gave us a great holiday. The itinerary was extensive and gave us an excellent chance to immerse ourselves into the culture of East Africa.
Accommodation, food and transport was of a very good standard with seamless transfers throughout the safari. From our arrival in Nairobi to our departure from Dar es Salaam, we were greeted everywhere with helpful, smiling faces.
We will definitely recommend your company to anyone thinking about travelling to Africa.
