Thanks for the Great Experience to Lake Nakuru
I'm not really very fond of travelling, but I just have to say; the trip to Lake Nakuru, (Kenya) was an amazing experience. Thanks in part to Samuel, my "Tour Guide", whose English made life much easier during the trip

Great service at budget prices
We did a 10 day safari with baboon budget through Kenya and Tanzania . We visited Masai mara , Lake Nakuru , Ambroselli , Lake Manyara , Serengeti & Ngoro ngoro crater . Saw the big 5 and much much more . Camping most nights but nice tents , good food and great guides - highly recommended for the price . We also booked our Kilimanjaro climb through baboon budget which again was great value for money and well organised . If you want a budget safari look no further !

Helped a dream become a reality.
Working with e-Trip Africa could not have been easier. From the quick response to our first email until the last goodbye, everything was seamless. I was stunned when after several emails, Ben Jennings asked to set a time to call me to better help plan our safari. Ben was kind, patient, and informative as he listened to and answered my unending questions. His response to emails was timely. If he was busy and unable to respond completely, Ben would sometimes send it quick note informing me of when I should expect to hear from him. He wanted to know our expectations.
I was never pushed to alter our budget. Yes, we spent more than the original budget, but this was due to our desire to meet our expectations. Well into the planning of our trip, we decided to add the hot-air balloon ride. At Ben's suggestion, we added returning to Arusha from the northern Serengeti by plane and we were so happy to have listened to him.
Ben took the time to be at the airport with our driver/guide upon our arrival. He demonstrated a true desire to make everything flawless.
We we're fortunate to spend our 10 days with the fun, smart, kind, witty, eagle-eyed David. It would be impossible to have a better guide. David was a patient teacher. As he learned were interested in all the birds, animals, trees, and flowers... David always took the time to explain and point out everything. He would turn off the engine of our land rover to explain the behavior of an animal and tell us why he wanted us to sit and wait. He never drove away without asking if we were ready and had finished taking the pictures we had wanted. His wealth of knowledge was amazing. He wanted us to know about the country and the culture of the people, enhancing our trip in every way.
There was one poor experience to our trip... the moment when we had to say goodbye to David, our teacher and friend.

An effortless trip of a lifetime
The communication was so easy. We were supplied with so many options for our budget and suggestions for when it would be worth splurging if we could. We decided to splurge for Ngala Tented Camp for our Safari experience and it was everything we could have ever imagined and more. We were so happy with every single detail. Milandi even helped us book dinner reservations and everything was truly great. The honeymoon that was supposed to be a trip of a lifetime is now just merely dubbed our first trip to Africa. We will definitely use Cedarberg Africa again!
Australian experiences Tanzanian Wildlife
Makasa did a fantastic job for us, two older ladies embarking on an adventure to see the animals. Our driver was courteous, observant and very very safe. We were blown away by the number of animals he was able to point out for us when we couldn't see beyond the camouflage! The only animal we werent able to find was the rhino, but other wonderful experiences were worth the 30 hour plane trip to see. And the birds... colour and all shapes and sizes we could not have imagined out of a book. Thank you, Ali and Makasa.

Amazing opportunity to see diverse wildlife
The wildlife in Ngorongoro is amazing. You'll have no trouble finding zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, lions, hippos, elephants and many others. I wasn't lucky enough to see a rhino in the crater but we did see a cheetah which apparently are fairly rare inside. The weather was beautiful. It was somewhat windy and around 25 degrees Celsius. We stayed in the Serena hotel at the top of the crater which had great views into the crater. It had especially lovely sunrises. Meals were typically a buffet salad and dessert bar with a small selection of main dishes to choose from. They were quite good. Breakfast was also a buffet. We traveled with Rashidi from Leopard Tours who was an excellent guide. He was well versed in all the various animals and birds that we saw on our tour and he searched very diligently to find all the animals we wanted to see.

This was a once in a life time experience that unfolded before my eyes meeting all my expectations.
Very professionally booked, scheduled and performed meeting all of my expectations and more. I highly recommend Simba Africa Expeditions and I look forward to more adventures with them in the future. Rain or shine the safari was prepared for what Mother Nature through at us being well prepared at every turn. The scheduling of the days events was perfect in keeping me busy physically and mentally at every moment with a mix of fun, adventure, learning and most important relaxation at just the right time - it was a wonderful once in a life time experience from the moment I woke, through the day and once my head hit the pillow that I hope everyone will be able to take advantage of while visiting Africa. Thanks goes out to the entire team at Simba Africa Expeditions.
