7 day Kenyan Safari
We had a fantastic week in Kenya, made better by Douglas our guide/driver whose passion for and deep understanding of nature made the trip all the more exciting and educational.
Would recommend highly!
Land of peace and beauty..complete paradise!
Tanzania has so much to offer, from street food at Oyterbay beach to Safari and trekking.
It is not just about the Northern circuit and Mt Kilimanjaro, but it has the gorgeous white sands and clear blue beaches.
If you haven't been then you should add it to your diary..minimum 3 weeks to enjoy and relax.

Amazing place to escape from reality...
Peace of paradise in the wild. Perfect place to escape from the busy daily life. Tanzania offers so much to see from the busy capital, to the small villages and game reserves. People are kind and helpful, which makes the experience even better. We used Watu Safaris for our trip and had amazing time. Our driver & guide Hamad ensured all our requests we met, as well as that we see as much animals as possible.
Overall I would like to recommend Tanzania to all that are looking for that different holiday escape.
We had a dream holiday, got to see every animal possible up close and in their own environment.
Our guide in Uganda was excellent, so enthusiastic and proud of his beautiful country. We started with visiting a Rhino reserve, which was wonderful! We got to walk through the place to find them which was very exciting. The guides there were very informative. We got to see so much on the game drive at Murchison Falls, elephants, giraffes, lion, antilope, plus all the animals we saw on the river when we took a boat ride, and not forgetting the most amazing array of bird life we have ever seen! A high lite to us was at Queen Elizabeth Bush Lodge, where we had a great view across the river from our veranda, and not long after arriving a big herd of 20 or more elephants came to bathe just about 30 metres away from us, what a buzz! The biggest thrill was tracking to see the Mountain Gorillas! That was absolutely breath taking! It was very emotional to be in their territory and not feeling scared. Tanzania was equally beautiful, with another excellent guide! We loved the lodges especially Manyara Wildlife Lodge and Tortillis Camp, we felt very well looked after on their hands! The game drives were stunning, I don't think there is an animal that we didn't see! We saw heaps of lions, a pride with around Fifteen Cubs, walked in front of our car! We also saw a kill involving a zebra, with four lions on it, a bit confronting but very natural. The Ngorogoro Crater was breath taking and also amazing for the wild life! This whole trip was more than we could ever imagine, we were blown away by all we got to experience!

Once in a lifetime trip!!
We worked with Alym from East Africa Wild Adventures. Communication was amazing from the start. Alym worked with us and changed the itinerary based on our preferences. He was a pleasure to work with and had amazing ideas for us. On the trip, all our transfers were on time and each driver was nicer than the last! We enjoyed every second of this trip and it was planned wonderfully. The hotels were all excellent, flights were smooth and on time, safari was exciting and views were breathtaking. I would recommend East Africa Wild Adventures to anyone thinking about a safari!!

Not 1st time in Kenya.The tour guide, his equipment, and knowledge provided exhilarating travel.mdd
This was not the first time I went on safari in Kenya, but it was my first time with this company. They are fabulous. You will never forget your trip. I was glad to have a tour guide who loves what he does, the actual owner of his business. He knew where to find different animals in the park, and had an impressive advanced knowledge of the ins and outs of the park. In Nairobi National park, we found a black rhino whose picture I really wanted to take, but I had not mastered my new cannon 70D. No problem. Mr. Karanja s a fabulous photographer. He set the camera, and I came away with wonderful shots. So there was that extra advantage of having tech support when I needed it. You need a guide who stops when you want to stop, and Mr. KAranja was always willing to stop when, if, and as long as we wanted. I had not booked him for my trip to Nakuru national Park, but he gave us invaluable advice about it. He was very friendly and his van was super comfortable, and I definitely loved the way he got along with my teenage daughter who was traveling with me. I will travel to Kenya in the next two years, and I will not spend a moment looking for anyone else. I have used other companies before, but not any more. If you are planning to visit Kenya, look no further. If you are in a group or a family, you will be in good hands.

Gorgeous 5 days Uganda tour and Gorilla trekking
I contacted Africa Tours Adventure encouraged by the extremely positive reviews found on Safari Bookings: they were truthful since, from the very beginning, Nicholas (the boss) managed the tour in a very professional way. He always answered quickly and exhaustively to my inquiries and the tour has been little by little tailored according to my desires.
My family and I started the tour in Kampala; our driver Harrison was great: competent, attentive and cultured, he explained us a lot about wildlife, local habits, traditions, history…
We visited at first Queen Elisabeth NP for a chimpanzee tracking and a boat cruise on Kazinga channel; then we went to Bwindi NP for the gorilla trekking (the core of our tour) and I can say that it exceed our expectations: we reached a family with a 6-months-old cub that was really amazing. In the afternoon, we visited a Pygmies community for an instructive and touching experience.
The following day, we agreed with Nicholas to be dropped off in Kigali, Rwanda to avoid a longer back way to Kampala.
We have been completely satisfied with ATA service, so I can highly recommend it.

Couldn't recommend it enough!

Incredible. The best money I've ever spent on a holiday. I will never forget the experiences we had.
Aje organised a great safari for us tailored it to our budget and itinerary. He even arranged for us to be picked up from Lake Victoria on the other side of the Serengeti. Our driver/guide was outstanding. He was affable and friendly but respected that we were on our honeymoon. He had unbelievable eyesight and almost a 6th sense for where the game was. A particular highlight was seeing a litter of 3 cheetah cubs. We loved the camping aspect and our cook was a fantastic host. Four years on, my wife and I still talk about the food - especially the crocodile-shaped bread after our close encounter that afternoon. I can't wait to come back and create more memories. Asante sana mzee. Tutarudi siku nyingine.

Great experience very knowledgeable and proficient guide.
We were very impressed with the organisation and guide. Justin was very knowledgeable and knew the parks and animals well. The camps were also very good. Good value for money and a holiday of a lifetime. We will definitely be booking with Paradise Safaris again.
