Most incredible trip of our lives
Wild Destinations was incredible from beginning to end. Our Kenyan safari vacation is the best trip we have ever taken thanks to the great accommodations, fantastic guide and driver, and excellent itinerary planning. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a hassle-free trip. They think of everything which meant that we could relax and enjoy our trip.

Wonderful safari with a wonderful crew!
We (a group of 7) had a wonderful safari experience with Naga Safaris: KG turned out to be an outstanding guide, with good knowledge of the wild mammals and birds. The cooks and camp assistants did a great job too: excellent food and very comfortable tents (with 'en-suite' toilets and bush showers) added to an unforgettable experience.
Mavis and Lesley answered to all e-mails very quickly and did a great job in making a tailor-made safari according to our wishes and demands.
A lot of value for your money! I will certainly choose for Naga Safaris again if I make a second visit to Botswana. A special 'thank you' to our guide KG: a warm person with good sense of humour, and with a passion for wildlife and nature. He lifted the wonderful safari to an even higher level!

Greatest wildlife experience of my life!
I've had a great time with Kanuth Adventure Safaris! We saw a lot of wild animals, the guides were so serviceminded and knowledgeable and the service was in top from the office to the drivers in the game reserves. Our accomodation was very comfortable, the food was very good and i would definitely recommend Kanuth Adventure Safaris to all of my friends and family. It will not be the last time that i choose Kanuth Adventure Safaris!

Wonderful trip with amazing personalized service!
Ryan and Thale were great from the very beginning of our trip planning. They were very responsive to email and provided good feedback about how to organize the trip we wanted and get the best out of our experience in Kruger Park. We booked almost a year in advance, and spent a wonderful 7 day safari staying in secluded bush camps within the park. The safari van was comfortable and game drives were fun and engaging, even for our 7 year old. Ryan always had interesting facts to share about the animals, plants, and birds we were seeing.
Ryan and his assistant, Lungsani, made our trip a true holiday for us! They skillfully prepared all of our meals and took care of every detail. They were fun and engaging to hang out with and we feel like we've made life long friends!
Kruger Park itself far surpassed our expectations! The facilities at the park were clean and well maintained, and the animals, well we are still in awe of all the animals we saw and photos we took. It truly was the trip of a lifetime!

Trip of a lifetime
Kenya walking safari was everything I would have ever imagined for a safari—affordable, knowledgable guides, nice accomadations, great food and a customized itinerary. When booking, the Kenya walking safari staff helped me tailor my itinerary, and made sure I was able to see the major parks that I wanted. This is not a 'one size fits all' safari company, which I found to be the problem with many other competitors. The staff even helped me with booking a flight for my departure, which was much appreciated and took the hassle out of it. Thank you Kenya Walking Safari for making my trip to Africa a rewarding one, and I will be sure to only book with them in the future! I will always remember the laughs I shared with my driver along the way, too! Kim was our driver and he was a 10-star driver.

Absolutely awesome tour enjoyed every second as honeymooners!
Our safari lasted 8 days. We travelled a lot (Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Serengeti) and slept in 4 different accommodations. Every single accommodation was superb and the time schedule was well thougt. We enjoyed the most the accommodation in central Serengeti. It was a tented lodge with an awesome location, delicious food, very clean and friendly service! As honeymooners they even arranged a candle light dinner at the fire place. But all accommodations were better than expected! There is nothing to complain about. The car was clean, had a fridge and did its job very good.
We saw all " big 5". The guide knew everything by heart and headed to every spot being the first. We were almost every time the first guys to see a spectacular scene. e.g. 2 lions going to a big stone and coming out with 4 baby lions. 5 min after our arrival there came 30 cars to watch this scene...even on 1 day a car arrived at 8 pm saying that they could not find their camp in the darkness - our guide drove them to their camp. Allen was unique and we felt like being a little family in this week we laughed a lot this guy was just awesome.
To sum up. We cannot complain about anything. We can definitely recommend mamasavana 100%!!
Alex and Allen - Thank you so much for our great and unforgettable honeymoon. We will keep in touch and hopefully see again soon :)

Attention! Lilac Adventures is untrustworthy and unreliable!
For an amount of nearly 6.000 USD, payed in advance for a safari in
Uganda supposed to start in March 2016, Lilac Adventures did not provide ANY of the services promised. Due to
negative reviews by former clients, we asked Lilac some time before the safari was
scheduled for details of the accommodation bookings and for copies of
the Gorilla Permits. The only thing they came up with were ever more
phantastic excuses why they allegedly could not provide us with any of
the documents requested. Therefore we contacted all the lodges ourselves and asked for bookings done by Lilac in our name - there were none. Being confronted with this, Lilac began to run out of
reasons and finally had to admit that 4 months after receiving
our money they had not prepared or booked anything. They also admitted that they would not be able to conduct the safari but did not give any valid reasons for that. At this point they
promised us a complete refund of our money - half a year on, we have not received anything.
So please do not make the same mistake we did, and especially do not
believe a word when they try to coax you into booking: they will go to
great lengths in trying to explain why they could not deliver the
services they were paid for by us and will give different reasons for this (delays in
the financial / banking system, political instability and / or unrest, etc. etc.), or perhaps they offer that you pay only a deposit (f.e. 20%) in advance. But please be aware that they are
completely untrustworthy and very likely they will just take your money without rendering anything for it.

Big Time Safaris = Big Time Experience!
If you are looking for an outstanding safari experience at an affordable price, Big Time Safaris is the travel company for you. The safaris that BTS offer is a great deal for singles, couples, and families like ours. The service provided by this company is extraordinary and the value is unbelievable. You will receive exceptional assistance from Anne or Martha prior to your trip. Anne answered our countless questions immediately and helped us to plan the perfect trip. Our family did a ten day Kenya and Tanzania safari. Our guide in Kenya was so knowledgeable about each and every animal and how best to see them. It was clear to us that he was the "go to" guide among all guides. We learned so much about every animal as well as the Masai culture. Unlike lodges where the game drives happen in the morning and the afternoon with lots of down time in between, BTS maximizes each day with sunrise, day long, and/or sunset game drives, as well as other cultural experiences if you choose to. Our Tanzania safari also had a great guide and an outstanding chef who prepared enviable meals during our pitched tent camping in the Serengeti and Ngorangora. We wanted an authentic camping experience because we thought that it would put us in the most natural setting. Our safaris included a nice balance of accommodations at modest but more than adequate hotels, fixed tents (with beds and bathrooms = glamping!) as well as traditional pitch tents (all equipment provided) where docile zebras grazed at our door. You can keep your luxury lodges, I'll take a true once in a lifetime natural experience like that any day!
Our safari vehicles held 7-8 people. One of the best parts of the trip was meeting our fabulous travel companions and people at the campsites from all over the world. We left with many friends, both locals and travelers alike.
One of the many wonderful services that BTS provides is that they picked us up from the airport the day before our safari and brought us to our hotel. They then picked us up from our hotel and delivered us to their offices where the safari began, and returned us to our hotel (airport if you need) at the end. This is a huge savings as we did not have to take taxis as we would have with the other safari companies that we looked into. As well, we were able to leave large suitcases in their offices at no charge. Other safari companies charged for this service. This allowed us to store our bags for future travel after the safaris.
BTS is your one stop company for all your trip needs. We were able to arrange for a private driver through BTS, at a ridiculously low price for 8-10 hours, for the three days we spent in Nairobi after the safari. Anne helped us to plan three amazing days in Nairobi. We were so overwhelmed when the owner of the company and Anne, our planner, visited us at our nearby hotel the morning after our safari to make sure that we were happy with our BTS experience. I could go on and on about how wonderful this company is and how outstanding our safari experience was. It's hard to find a safari that includes everything and some for this price. We will most certainly book our next trip with Big Time Safaris!
