Excellent Safari
I had a great time on this safari. Our guide was amazing during our safari. He was very accommodating with driving around to see the animals that we wanted to see. He was also extremely knowledgable about each of the animals and gave us little tidbits on each. He even quizzed us on the topics for fun! I would highly recommend this company for any safari in Maasi Mara.

Horrible Tour Company, Horrific Experience, Very Negative.. The Two LadiesScam Artists.. Stay AWAY!
The two ladies are rude and unqualified to complete tours. Tours are not properly planned and horribly exectued. You will pay everything accommodations that are 20 USD a night, will be charged 200 USD!!! Your 4x4 will break down, and be replaced by an older 4x4. When stranded on the side of the road, both ladies will not be contactable, and when you reach them, they will say "Let Me Tell You Something..." and make excuses on why the vehicle is poor condition and say hang up the phone on you. You will wait for hours in the heat on the side of the road, or late at night on rainy wet dangerous roads. Your life will be in danger and your safety and security will be compromised. They will change the itinerary with out informing you and or contacting the driver. And when asked questions, they will not be reachable again or they will yell at you on the phone and then shut the phone and turn off the device, leaving you stuck. There answer will always be "Let the driver figure it out, I am driving" or shut the phone when you are serious distress. They will rob you of such an incredible country with so much to offer. They will not know the location of specific activities, they will overcharge you and say "No" after yes earlier was already confirmed. I cannot imagine a tour service company can talk to a customer in such an extremely rude way. They are not able to adapt to changes in the scheduling based on weather, and roads and conditions and will say "If you miss the activity you will not be refunded and it is your fault." There idea of tour operator is simply booking the accommodations, overcharging, and leaving you fend for yourself. Overall, I wasted the best experience of Uganda, which is an amazing country. While I understand that no tour is perfect and mistakes happen, I do expect any company to try to make things right in the end, and not yell and scream at the customer and especially hang phone up on you while stranded because of a hazardous vehicle. I found their lack of integrity on the follow up shocking. And I'm sad because we were psychologically treated like second class citizens and missed what Uganda has to offer.

The Great Adventure Ever
To my experience, I think Safari has the best communications, and serving the tourists well, not only me but also the other tourists who were on board with me. I have been to several national parks, zoo, and other form of animal reservation, but none of them has ever been as the best as the Safari Kenya National Park. I had an amazing time and I will definitely recommend it to other people like my family, friends, and community to go and have their best moment in their lives at Safari Kenya National park. It's an amazing adventure beyond one's expectation.

well priced with fulfilled tour content
we joint 3 days tour to Etosha national park and 3 days to Sossuvlei. both are completely camping tour. both tours had a long distance driving but the guide had stopped in several check-points on the way to give us toilet break, food shopping, lunch break, and quick area guide. with this reasonable quoted price the tour was very fulfilled with excellent service from the knowledgable tour guide.

We had a very pleasant and enjoyable experience with Afroriginal Tours and Safaris.
Our tour operator Desiree was very helpful and prompt in attending to our requests. Emails were answered regularly and she customised the safari to our requirements. She even organized a small birthday celebration for our son at one of the camps ! We were very pleased with our guide/driver Jeremiah too. He was a very safe and experienced driver ,. He was always very polite and was very knowledgable .The living arrangements were adequate though I did think that the food was fairly average. The tents could also do with fans as it could get very stuffy and hot inside. Overall a different and good experience.

Personalized trip with expert driving and very experienced and knowledgable guide
Very good three days to, in and back from Kruger national park. Our experience was well above our expectations. We had a 7 passenger bus with just our family of four so had time to stop and drive at our convenience. Johan and Elize were great. They knew all the local attractions and sights. Went to great lengths to get us to see the big five at Kruger park.
Very polite, punctual and culturally sensitive to any special needs of their guests. Had every thing well organized.
Highly recommended to all visitors and we hope to travel with them again in the future.

Overall OK, but as this was a very expensive trip we expected better than OK
Overall the trip was good. But this is a very expensive tour company, so we expected meticulous attention to detail and 'opulent' conditions. So although we enjoyed the trip it fell short of the expectations we had given how expensive this was.

Wonderful safari and guide, personal touch, wants you to have the best safari experience ever!
Lucas has taken me on two different tours through Tanzania (in 2012 and again in 2015) and both experiences were the best! Lucas is very personable, he loves his country, the animals, and the Tanzanian people. He is a caring person who pays attention to the details. His many years of safari experience enables him to know the best places to stay and the best places to go for wildlife viewing opportunities. He doesn't necessarily follow the same itineraries as some of the bigger tour companies because he knows animals move and things change, so he wants you to have the best experience you can have while on safari in Africa and he makes it happen!

Perfectly organized, also by German standards!
We booked the Windhoek - Victoria Falls self-drive safari with IrinaAfrica and asked for some changes and extensions. After we had made our deposit we did not hear anything for a while and got a bit worried. As it turned out they had to find other accommodation since we travelled in the high season. The changes met exactly our personal taste. From start to finish, everything was going smooth and without problems, except for our flat tyre. So we were very glad we had this 4x4 vehicle with a second spare wheel.
If one needs a tailor made safari, we can recommend Irina wholeheartedly.
