Quick email responses and 3 day tour went super smooth
Like everybody else, we didn't know who to pick for our 3 day Rwanda gorilla trek. The quote from Katona was the best and they had good reviews so we decided to use them and we were very happy. Our guide was waiting for us at the airport and told us about the itinerary which we changed slightly with no problems. He was very accommodating to whatever we wanted to do for the entire trip. He drove very safely the entire trip, which my wife really appreciated especially while in the mountainous region which she hates. The vehicle was very roomy and we were able to stretch out for the drive to our lodge which we really appreciated after the flight in. We had a late flight out on the third day and our guide was very accommodating about getting us to the airport whenever we wanted.
Jackie answered all of our emails immediately and checked in on us twice during the trip to make sure everything was satisfactory. I was initially a little hesitant about wire transferring money overseas but it worked out just fine and Jackie emailed us as soon as the money cleared. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days in Rwanda and would definitely use Katona Tours again.

Excellent experience
My boyfriend and I went on a 4-day safari in Nakuru + Masai Mara. We can highly recommend Mwema! The company is very professional and has some of the best value for money we've seen.

A fantastic birding trip to western Uganda with Tony at Mamaland.
Tony and everyone at Mamaland are organised, efficient and friendly. Tony is an attentive and knowledgeable guide. We had a great time in his company.

Awesome,friendly staff and great moments
A trip of excellence.., this how I can describe our African Safari experience in the hands of African Habitat Safaris and her charming team of professional team. The total trip chemistry was just but one of its own Kind. The arraignments, the lodges, food, guide and services that give value for money.
We were on 9 days Kenya and Tanzania small group joining trip. Our contact was the charming Rachel Obonyo after a good friend who had use their services recommended her and her company. And true to her words, we got the best of experience than we ever imagined. From the point we dropped her email, Rachel did surprise us with an instant feedback with a more detailed trip itinerary that exactly matches our interest. All our numerous questions were well taken care of and none was left out. We built the confidence and with no wastage of time, made the 30% advance payment via PayPal.
When we got to Kenya, everything went as planned, we were picked up from airport by our guide Fred Oburu then took to the hotel and then to carnivore for dinner. This experience was awesome.
Next morning we kicked off for the trip. Fred is very much knowledgeable, experience and very much friendly. My daughter who is just 7 year was like she did meet a brother (Fred always call her my sister from another mother). We saw almost all the animals both in Kenya and Tanzania; the lodges were perfect, very clean and spacious with very friendly staff.
We are more than happy to recommend Rachel and African Habitat safaris to anyone who would want the best of experience in Africa. Very true to their services, Reliable, trust worthy and most importantly are always in 24/7 support while still on trip with them.
Thanks Rachel, hope to see you again soon

Can't Imagine a Better or More Comprehensive Safari
Our tour covered Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Oldupai Gorge, the Serengeti, Lake Eyasi and visits to the Hadza and Datoga people. We saw virtually all of the big mammals and many small ones as well like Banded Mongoose, Cerval Cats and Bat-Eared Foxes. With the hawk-like eyes of our driver-guides Augustine and David we also saw and identified several hundred species of birds. We were also informed about the tree and plant life we saw along the way.
We were amazed at how Augustine and David were able to take shortcuts through the bush where there seemed to be hardly any tracks let alone roads. Their driving skills in pouring rain and slippery mud were amazing.
The places we stayed, a mixture of luxury lodges, permanent and mobile tent camps were all fantastic, with great food and service.
Aside from being great drivers and guides, I can't imagine more knowledgeable naturalists among their competition. Whether you're a serious birder, botanist or just want to see the wildlife of Africa, Aardvark will fulfill your needs.

Mmilo tours was efficient, professional, and focused on deliveringthe best trip possible.
I worked with Patrick from Mmilo Tours to schedule a four day Kruger Safari through KWA Madwala and a shark diving excursion with Marine Dynamics. Patrick and the Mmilo team did a fantastic job orchestrating my trip. Patrick provided wonderful insight and truly provided an unforgettable vaction experience.
I utilized KWA Madwala for the four day Kruger safari and the experience was exceptional. The accommodations were wonderful and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Obed took us on the actual safari and provided an unrivaled experience. I would highly recommend utilizing KWA MadwaLA.
For the great white excursion, Patrick set us up with Marine Dynamics who also provided an out of this world experience. The crew was wonderful and the operation was perfectly executed. I would recommend Marine Dynamics to anyone looking for a superb cage diving experience.
In short Patrick and Mmilo Tours were exceptional. Mmilo is a five star operation that I would recommend to anyone!

A Once In a Lifetime Bucketlist Experience
As others have indicated, for me this was the experience of a lifetime. Augustine and David were exceptional guides. They were able to answer all of our questions and their knowledge of the animals, birds, flora and fauna were amazing. Food and Lodging were exceptional. I particularly enjoyed the Simba Lodge. The rooms were lovely and the view with zebras and wildebeests was spectacular. On the cultural side, the visits to the Hadza and Datoga villages gave us a true glimpse into tribal life. I can't say enough about Augustine and David's abilities with their vehicles. We encountered some truly trying driving conditions and came thru with flying colors. Thanks again Aardvark Safaris for a truly amazing experience!!!
