    The Best of East Africa Safari was an incredibly wonderful tour. The tour leader and drivers were professional and a pleasure to work with. The itinerary was superb for watching and photographing wildlife in 5 national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. The safari lodges and camps were of high quality with excellent meals and a pleasure to stay in. Really a perfect once in a life time experience. We highly recommend it.

    I am a travel agent and took a group of clients to Kenya and Tanzania for a safari experience. From the start, the communications with the company were timely and informative. Once we arrived, the entire tour was seamless and problem-free. One of my best trips ever! Can't recommend highly enough!
