Still can't top this experience
Best trip we've ever taken. Our guide, Brian, MADE our experience. Very knowledgable, personable, felt 100% safe all the time. Still daydream about the trip. Accommodations were excellent, he never stopped "teaching". Excellent experience-cannot say enough. Top guide, but even more, top person.

Amazing Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park trip
I went to the Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park with Suburbs Adventures in 2013. Both trips i booked at Suburbs Adventures. It was AMAZING!!! We had two really experienced guides and we saw all the big five - except of the rhino. The driver were really fun, once we saw an aggressive pregnant elephant and the reaction of the driver was really quick so that we could escape of the situation. We had enough time to take pictures and observe the animals as long as we wanted. Both camps were really comfortable, we had our own small huts and bonfire in the evenings. Suburbs Adventures organized everything perfectly and gave us a very good price. I would book it again and again!

Best safari company I've used!
Oltumure tours and safaris, run by Robert, helped me to have a fantastic safari experience during my time in Arusha! He was more than happy to make sure that my goals, schedule, and budget were met. Everything was completely professional and customer centered. Robert really offers tours of high quality and low price, you can't go wrong with Oltumure!

A perfect introduction to safari tailored to our family's needs!
We decided to book our safari through an organised tour as my husband had never been on safari and was unsure of what to expect. We found the booking process very easy, and the service was efficient and very professional.
The day before our departure, we were contacted to make our final arrangements and given advice on what to take, etc.
Clive, our guide, collected us at 7am, and from then until the moment he dropped us off, he treated us with unbelievable patience and really looked after us. Clive was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions and impart information in a gentle manner. While we were on safari, our son had his birthday, and the company was fantastic with sending messages and arranging a special surprise cake for him. Clive's patience came to the fore yet again as our son wanted to take photos of every single animal on his new camera!
Our whole experience surpassed expectations, and we would highly recommend this company to anyone wishing to go to the Kruger National Park. A very special thanks to everyone involved in making our safari the highlight of our holiday.

The Trip of a Lifetime
Our guide was totally amazing -- I think he knew every bird, reptile, and mammal in the parks. He clearly had lots of experience and an incredible gut instinct for where to be. The food and the accommodations went beyond my expectations. I don't know how the chefs managed to whip up such wonderful meals when we were often in the middle of nothing. Finally, Savannah Tours made everything smooth. When one of our flights was cancelled, they booked a day room at a hotel. We really had no worries (Hakuna Matata as they say)

My wife and I used Go2Africa to help plan a safari/beach trip for our honeymoon.
Go2Africa and specifically Ms. Liprini were an excellent resource in helping me put together an African component to our honeymoon. Traveling to Botswana for safari and then to Mozambique for a relaxing end to our vacation on the beach was well-organized and allowed us to choose from a variety of different locations/outfitters, etc... As such, we were able to tailor our trip in the direction in which we wanted it to go (camping for safari but relaxing on a remote beach for the back-end of the trip...) Lisa was incredibly helpful for the entire process, from introductions to flying home, and I do think she was instrumental in helping me put everything together. I would recommend her services to anyone thinking about making a trip like ours.

Four - Five - Fifty - Five Hundred!! WoW
I am writing this review after a couple of months since returing from a safari to Northern Tanzania - Taragire-Serengeti-Ngorongoro organized by Safari Infinity. We were two families of 3 each and we went on the safari from the 21st June 2014 and up until the 28th June.
So what does the title mean .... I will get to that in just a while!
This was our third African safari having visited Kruger and Masai Mara before. Selecting the operator and putting an itinerary in place is the most interesting part of any travel and more so for a safari. We went through the routine of sending out mails to around 7/8 operators to get responses. We short listed based on response time, flexibility, intensity and involvement and the pricing and perceived honesty.
Safari Infinity emerged the preferred operator by quite a distance with Augustine and Lucia displaying tremendous involvement and intensity throughout our interaction fully knowing that we might finally choose another operator. Really loved that - came from the heart!!! Augustine went to the extent of taking the risk of tentative bookings at the camps even before we had confirmed and this action by Augustine proved to be decisive. The package included air ticketing DAR-JRO-DAR and the total pricing was well within the budget that we were working with.
The Safari Infinity package includes picnic breakfasts/lunch where the picnic stools and makeshift tables are quickly assembled to be the envy of the other safari groups!!!! We had a group from Australia whom we invited over to share our brakfast table with at the Crater!!!
Lucia even had presents for each family to carry home with us!
Our designated guide/driver was Eric and the more said about him is not enough. He turned out to be a Friend, a Philosopher and a Guide. Eric has a fantastic sense of humour and perhaps the keenest eye to spot animals and birds and throw in his knowledge of Indian (we are two familes from India based in Muscat, Oman in the Arabian Gulf) food, music and movies we had the most perfect holiday one could wish for. Our meals together were a time of good natured bantering, singing, exchanging recepies, and did I mention that Eric is a great singer as well!!!!
So what does the title mean? - we spotted, nay Eric did, FOUR Leopards (inclding two at Ngorongoro which I understand in extremely rare), FIVE Cheetas, more than FIFTY Lions along with cubs of varying ages and around FIVE HUNDRED Elephants (no I am not kidding!!). Not to count the supporting cast of Buffalos, Zebras, Impalas, Eagles, and the list goes on. We even sighted a Black Rhino although at a dstance at the Crater.
Would we travel with Safari Infinity again - DEFINITELY.
Would we recommend Safari Infinity - ABSOLUTELY.

Exellent experience
I had a Safari nearly two weeks ago with MamaSavana in the park of Tsavo Est (Kenya). I enjoyed so much the experience, I found very competent and kind people (both the driver and the guide), the organization was excellent and the lodge so comfortable.
I hope to visit Amboseli park as soon as possible with MamaSavana! :)

Excellent, every time again, very good organized, fast, friendly and very professional contact.
The organisation of our tour was very professional. The tour was very good planned on a high level showing an interest in our wishes and giving us better suggestions. The contact and responses to our questions and wishes were fast, very friendly and intensively. We have received a lot of very helpful informations in advance.
An experience we will never forget. We will choose Roho Ya Chui again for other tours in Africa and we recommend this organisation very warm. Absolutely the best!
