Excellent 7 days private safari: Clear recommendation!
I did a 7-day private Safari with Home to Africa and have been very pleased with the trip itself, the planning and communication beforehand and the value for money I received. Home to Africa has been very responsive, managed to organize my trip just one week before my arrival (including obtaining a permit for gorilla tracking) and have tailored my trip to my exact wishes. I'd recommend them to anyone.

7 excellent days of individual safari!
I had the pleasure of spending 7 days on an individual safari with Paul, the head of Terrain Safaris.
We covered Queen Elizabeth Park, chimp & gorilla tracking and Lake Bunyonyi.
Paul was extremely kind and patient and always did his best to give me a perfect experience in Uganda. I would recommend him to anyone.

The best of everything; hotels, travel, locations, most importantly, fantastically well organised
We originally planned to go in 2016, but we had to change plan quite late on and then reorganise. Throughout it all Laurette at Pembury could not have been more helpful. We have been on so many holidays over the years, but this has probably been our best. The mix of locations, hotels, travel arrangements, varied scenery, experiences, people, safari, wildlife, city, service..... This is mostly due to the highly experienced, professional service from Pembury. Laurette, quite simply, is a master at what she does.

Amazing experience
We booked a five day safari to Selous and Mikumi NP. Before going on safari we were a bit worried since we didn't have to pay deposit and everything was arranged via whats app. Upon arrival at Dar es Salaam I met the owner of the agency and everything was perfectly fine. They picked us up and together with another couple went to Selous. The first camp was beyond expectations. Great view and the tents were quiet luxurious. The boat safari was great to experience as well. The walking safari is more a bush walk and was quiet disapointing. The game viewing was beyond expectations and we saw many animals. During the five days we had a cook and he made sure that everyday we had good food with fresh ingredients. Our driver William was very helpful and explained us many things. The camp in Mikumi was a bit more basic. The park is less touristic which was nice. Overall, we had a great safari!!

Amazing experience and thoroughly organised
We went to Kenya for a week (5 of us) and Fiona helped organise the whole week including transport from the airport and accomdation to the lakes (which were beautiful), safari parks and game drives. Our driver Peter made our experience the best it could possibly and ensured we saw everything possible including the big 5 more than once. He had outstanding knowledge of the animals and the parks. The accommodation booked at the lakes through shoor were great with hippos in our back garden to beautiful views of the lakes. i would highly recommend this tour company as I couldn't imagine doing it any other way.

What an adventure!
My husband and I absolutely loved our holiday with Lion King Adventures! Right from the start the booking experience was great. No question bothered Anna and she took the time to ensure we felt comfortable confirming all the details over email. Our accommodation was fantastic, and all the places had been checked by Anna and the team to ensure there were in a safe area and were comfortable.
We met Anna and our guide Salehe on our first night in Arusha. We very much appreciated getting to know them, and straight away knew that they would take great care of us. And our 5 day safari didn't disappoint. Salehe was a fantastic guide! Not only did he teach us some handy Swahili, but he took the time to look out for the animals we were really hoping to see and did everything he could to provide us with an incredible experience.
We then flew to Zanzibar - Anna organised all our transfers and we didn't have any issues once there.
We would recommend this tour to anyone. It's personalised, you feel cared for, and it doesn't break the bank. What an experience!

21 days of outstanding adventure in my home country Kenya
First I take this opportunity to thank the ACZ safaris team for their outstanding professionalism throughout the entire process. I have traveled before but I never had such a smooth process from the first email which was replied in a few second to the drop off to my residence in Kenya.
I have been working abroad for five years without a chance to travel to my homeland, Kenya hence when I got a chance to come home this year all I thought was to travel throughout the country with my family.
It started with a single email which was replied by John. I didn't know where exactly to start so it was a little awkward but John worked miracles with the little information I provided intact he just asked how many days I would like to spent in Kenya and within a few minutes he sent a couple of itineraries with different quotes.
I chose one that took me to the famous Masai Mara, mt kenya, Sweetwaters in Nanyuki, lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and Baringo Amboseli Tsavo East, lake Naivasha, Samburu and many other places without forgetting the magnificent Diani beach in Mombasa.
The guide was knowledgeable and they chose very good accommodations based on out budget. I am glad I chose them even after reading one bad review about them. I was also disturbed by the fact I had to pay upfront through PayPal however they had other payment options. I don't regret taking this risk as John told me it helped in preparing a smooth process.
Once I go back to work in October I will recommend them to my colleagues and I will be back soon. Thank you so much team ACZ safaris.

Guide + Lodges excellent, vehicle catastrophic
The Safari tour was very well organized, the company delivered everything that was promised. Innocent our driver and guide was excellent. Accommodation was very good, especially Tortilis Camp. The heavy set back was that vehicle - quite old, holes in the bottom pannel, leaking wheaterstripping - even if all windows were closed the dust came into the car, our suitcases were dusty inside - on top of that one gearbox damage and 2 tire blow-outs.
Conclusion: Have a closer look first before climbing the vehicle.
