8 Day trip with Eascto An Excellent Safari !!!
We have just finished an 8 day safari with Eastco. Visiting Ngorongoro Serengeti Manyara and Tarangire.
The trip booked months ago was better than expected and everything went according to plan including the wildlife.
Lions elephants giraffe cheetah and one leopard all helped the experience.
The lodges and camps were well situated for the parks we visited. The Wildlife Lodge at Ngorongoro had beautiful views and excellent food. The view from the veranda of the crater in the late evening was well worth the Rim stay.
In the Serengeti we stayed at the very popular Kati Kati Camp. Another excellent choice, the closeness of the game made for relaxing game drives. Boundary Hill Lodge has probably the best location of any lodge we saw perched atop a steep ridge. Our guide Kibabai was young and enthusiastic with a good knowledge of the parks and the animals birds included.
It was a great trip, well organized and thanks to Eastco planned to perfection. The trip was well worth the 5 star rating.

The great adventure - Asante Sana!
I have travelled with spot kenya safaris during Christmas Holidays. I travelled with other 8 friends (we had two pop up roof minivans and two expert, friendly and professional guides: Haruni and Jonas. they knew lots about the animals and were skilled at navigating the parks and the roads. Jonas also was good at finding the animals and getting us up close to them) through Navaisha, Amboseli, Tsavo West/East and Diani Beach. The accommodations were great (clean and confortable) as well as the organization. We had such a great time and of course if I will ever be back in Kenya / Tanzania I will contact again Maurice: he was very helpful and made sure we had a good travel experience. He even made some last minute changes which we were very happy to arrange!
Thank you very much!

Customer service excellence; fantastic recommendations; no hiccups; awesome trip
I used African Encounter based on a recommendation and am so glad I did. They took away all the headaches and their first hand knowledge of where to go and stay based on the time we had were all spot on. They suggested a meet and greet at joberg airport which was great to get us through immigration and customs; then the option to fly or drive to the safari parks was also fantastic. Their communication exceeded all expectations - quick replies to email queries and nothing was too much trouble. Very professional itinerary and the price was extremely competitive. Then the trip: We loved every minute of our 10 day safari at 4 different lodges. Our transfers were always there on time and very professional and each lodge was unique and had its own highlights. It was my dream to go to south africa and i couldn't have done it without African Encounters. I am hard to please but in this case i couldn't fault anything and would highly recommend this company. Upon our return was a followup Email asking for feedback☺ - just brilliant.

Professional company, experienced guide, attention to customer's needs.
They were extremely serious and professional. I had to cancel the trip last minute and they were flexible to reschedule it the following weekend. As for the safari program they had their own proposal but happy and flexible to adjust to my needs (if you say you want to stay in a different hotel or do additional activities other than those proposed by them it's no problem). The guide was experienced (former park ranger) and always happy to answer questions about animals, the country, the culture ecc. He was also very helpful, proactive and practical.

Another unforgettable trip to Masai Mara
It was our first trip to Masai Mara National Park from 13th Dec to 18 Dec and it was unforgettable one!!
The trip was brilliant... we saw a lot of animals, even if the wildebeest had migrated we still saw quite a lot. The accommodation was great. We stayed at The Mara Intrepid which was very clean. The staff were fantastic who made sure that everything was perfect.
Many thanks to Sam who was so helpful in planing this trip with us and never got tired to answer all our endless questions.
Barizi Safaris was perfect and we will definitely plan our next trip to Mara or other destinations with this very special and knowledgeable travel agency again!
Thanks again and all the best to you all form making this trip so wonderful!!!

Friendly on the time staff
Communications: This was great before our arrival. After that, we had no communications, we had to find out ourselves what time we would be picked up for transport to the airport on departure.
Safari could not give us the best prices for activities, we had to spend a lot of time looking for good prices.

Had a breathtaking experience with my family, up to date we still find ourselves talking about it. The choice of the holiday destination was the best so far especially for a family setting. You surpassed our expectations by far, we look forward to many more tours with Adventure Africa

Tanzania through a child's eyes
If you are looking for an all-inclusive vacation in Tanzania, look no further than Breakdown Safaris. My seven-year old son and I spent seven days in Tanzania, three in the Selous Game Reserve, and three in Zanzibar and Chumbe Island, and we never had to worry about a thing while we were there. Every detail of our trip was taken care of by Kathy and Fanuel from helping us to decide on the right adventure to make all of my son's wishes come true, to helping us properly pack for the trip to even making us dinner reservations for New Year's Eve in Zanzibar.
While in the Selous, we stayed at the Selous River Camp. The accommodations were comfortable despite the heat. The staff at the camp was great. They made sure every need was met, and even provided a guide to walk us to and from our hut at night. Breakdown Safaris offered us three different ways to see the Selous, providing us with a driving, walking and boat safaris. We saw every animal we hoped to see, including a two different groups of elephants and lions. Fan is extremely knowledgeable of the reserve, and its wildlife. He provided us with a wealth of information about each of the animals and the local tribes.
At the end of the trip, we spent two full days on Chumbe Island off the coast of Zanzibar. This coral reef park is a place only found in your dreams. The water: several shades of aqua; the sand: white powder; the snorkeling: the best I have ever experienced. We had the opportunity to snorkel morning, noon and night, and we did just that. The amount of marine life within the coral reef is amazing. We saw everything from sea turtles, hundreds of angel and trigger fish, spotted sting rays to a black tip reef shark. My son's favorite were the sea cucumbers, oh and the hermit crabs which cover every inch of the island. Like the Selous River Camp, the staff and rangers at Chumbe are top notch. The rangers worked with Cooper on our first snorkeling trip and helped him to get completely comfortable maneuvering the waves. The food on the island is also amazing. Every lunch and dinner is complete with several selections of fresh seafood.
This vacation went well above and beyond all expectations my son and I had. If you want a vacation that is well planned, well organized and customized to your every need, then you need to book it through Breakdown Safaris!
