With Francis, most exciting wildlife experiences and relaxing tour of the awesome beauty of Uganda.
The company booked our trip swiftly and provided all the detailed information that we needed. Our very professional and exceptional guide gave us thorough information for the days activities and was always punctual. He spoke clearly and knowledgeably.
The tour was followed according to our plan, however, Francis was willing to add a few more ‘gems’ to our daily plan which made our experience in Uganda a most wonderful one.
All in all a most delightful experience that we were wished would never end.

The tour to Mara was a fantastic one. Our driver Stephen took us round and he is an experienced
The hotel services at Keekorok was excellent. We enjoyed their services and fresh air. The tour guide Mr. Steve was always there to give us morning briefs on the day. My expectations were met as I saw most of the animals especially the big five.

Greatest Safari Experience
We have been on vacation to Tanzania on a custom program made for us by Safari360 as they understood perfectly what we wanted to do. They organized for our own guide/driver who was outstanding in all aspects. We had the most unique time in Serengeti where we witnessed huge herds of wildebeest jumping to cross Mara river full of crocodiles!
The lodges were comfortable, relaxing with great staff and food.
We would have wished for a longer holiday vacation because of all the special nice moments with Safari360

James Ripped me off!
I took a 21 day safari that James had arranged for me in June 2019. Everything went fine until the last week of the Safari. James started phoning me to ask that I pay for things like fuel and entry fees to the Massia Mara. I also had to pay some of the fees at the hotels. What’s a person to do when stuck in the middle of Kenya but pay to continue the journey. Of course, James assured me that he would reimburse my money and of course he never did. I kept in touch with my excellent driver/guide Martin from Voi and except for a small initial deposit James did not pay him his contracted fee for the entire 21 day safari. I felt very bad for Martin and forwarded his tip to him after I returned home because James had bled me dry in Kenya. I’m assuming that the Covid crisis has probably put his company under, again, but I’m sure he will pop up under another name, BEWARE!!!

Superb Trip to Tanzania
We are very impressed by the Vervet Safari Tours team for organizing a relaxed luxurious trip filled with exciting adventurous experiences in Tanzania’s Serengeti, Ngorngoro and Lake Manyara National Parks. There was so much to see in the 6 days of tour, every day out incredible guide Basili took us to a different location for African jungle excitement.
We were booked at 4 different hotels, 3 inside the parks and 1 in Arusha. We loved them all because they try very hard to make us happy and server us well.
They sanitize the rooms, handles and gave us masks to wear. We were the only ones on the vehicle.
We hope to come back sometime in the future.

Amazing experience thanks to great people
I just came back from a trip to Kenya with Wildtouch Tours and Travels and I have the feeling that this has been a perfect safari.
The organization was simply perfect, the parks were perfectly chosen to give us an idea of how varied and large Kenya is in terms of landscapes and fauna. And the things we saw were insane.
Really thank the Wildtouch tours team for all their management, kindness, understanding and, I could say, friendship, that they gave us throughout the trip. Not a single complaint, it was just great.
I highly recommend this agency to anyone who wants to do a safari in Kenya.

A well organized safari
The trip was a friendly without compromising on the quality of the services provided. The tour guide and the staff made us feel very comfortable and ensured that we had a good time. They were extremely helpful and polite. The trip was very well-organized, the rooms were classy and the lodges where we stayed were high class and very comfortable and seeing all the big five was amazing

Hard to find the words...
... to describe what will be one of my most precious memories of all time.
The anticipation and nervousness we felt before we arrived, the immediate security and comfort that welcomed us, the professionalism and attention to detail that executed our safe arrival... Today, we are right to feel uncertain, to measure our expectations as we adapt to our new Covid way of life. I did not think we could enjoy being away, that we'd have half our brains 'stuck' in a mode that could not allow 'letting go'.
Emma and Anton greeted us with such intelligence, awareness and service, that it was hard NOT to let go.
It did not take long before, dare I admit it, I forgot all about the problems back home, the fear of what might be, and for the first time in a long time, I was living in the moment, in the here and now. Our vehicle seemed so small within the landscape, the sunlight and shadows, wild noises and smells, acute and buzzing around us. Only 30minute from the airport and immediately we had been transported into a realm of nature where humans do not rule. Our guides narrated stories of lion family dramas, of leopards lazying in trees, the names of SO many birds and then a hippo ran out in front of our vehicle... each story was interrupted by a sudden change in nature's setting, a stage without script. We were amazed by the knowledge gifted to us, to witness laser precision eye sight and ability to read dirt. By the time we got to the lodge, we had shed whatever stale stress that urban living had built around us. It was emotional, we felt exposed and vulnerable, joyous and childlike, to watch the sun set while eating the most delicious food... we slept perfectly, aware of the animals that were so near, but confident in our beautiful private cottage and the native nocturnal watchmen donning tribal dress and spears.
We woke excited, so early, the mist was lingering a meter over the ground, like a duvet. Tea on our balcony, then a breakfast fit for royalty, and we were off, another game drive... Time seemed to stand still for a while. We had never felt so cared for before, genuinely cared for. It wasn't the veneer of 'customer service' you'd see from an urban hotel, it was personal, it was real.
We do not think we had enough time at the Emakoko. There was so much to learn, to see and do - we cannot not come back. To be in the company of nature's wisdom, translated by our hosts, and so generously shared, I don't think we will ever be the same again...
