Great safari and great service!
This was the second safari that I've booked through Mark. I went to South Africa (Mala Mala) in 2001, and loved it so much and couldn't wait to get back. This time around, it was a last minute trip -- I emailed Mark about a month before I wanted to go, and he was able to book me lodges in both South Africa (Kirkman's Kamp) and Namibia (Sossusvlei Desert Lodge). He met me at the airport when I arrived in Johannesburg and we were able to chat for a bit before I flew out to the game reserve.

Awaken to Africa is the best!
My family and I went on safari with Awaken to Africa in August 2013. It was a life-changing 10 days and such an amazing experience. Grace booked everything for us and her suggestions were perfect. She asked great questions in order to get an idea of how we travel and what we like to do and made a perfect itinerary. Each camp was perfect and our guide, Justin, is amazing! Everything, from the visa process at the airport to heading back to JRO to depart, was easy and well planned. The safari itself was amazing and we were able to see a lot of animals including the wildebeest crossing the Mara river. Justin is very knowledgeable and very nice. He is a wonderful guide and I highly recommend him. I would definitely use Awaken to Africa again!

wild honeymoon
Always present sun and wild animals (including birds of all colours from the rainbow) created unforgettable atmosphere and wetted appetite to see even more. On safari we travelled in a car with big windows enabling to admire the landscape. Stopping 2 meters away from a lioness basking in the sun was breathtaking. Kenyan guide was very polite, helpful and tried to answer all possible questions, which seemed to be endless like the scenery around us. It was definitely our best decision to go for our honeymoon.

Why use another tour operator when you can experience the best - Paul and Inter-tropical Tours!
When I wanted to tour Uganda with my young son, a trusted friend suggested I call Paul Nangai at Inter-tropical Tours and Travel. We spent 2 weeks with Paul, touring his beautiful country, and it was one trip that my son and I will never forget. Through phone calls and emails, Paul spent a great deal of time planning for the perfect trip in the months leading up to our arrival in Kampala. Once in Uganda, Paul met us at the airport and personally took care of every detail of our stay. We toured the Nile River, hiked to Murchison Falls, went on a chimpanzee safari and a couple of big game safaris. We saw so many animals, from very large crocodiles, hippos and elephants to very small, colorful birds and absolutely everything in between. It was all so perfect! Ugandans are the most gracious people and we felt at home there. The lodges where we stayed ranged from simple and eco-friendly to extremely high end and we loved each one - all were unique. The food was amazing; Paul would often stop and buy different foods for us to try. I loved the grilled Nile perch. One of my son's favorite mornings included a ferry trip. He had never experienced a river crossing by ferry and loved the fact that Paul drove the van right onto the boat. Paul and I would spend evenings talking about his country, it's people and the animals that are a part of every day life for Ugandans. During those 2 weeks, we grew to love Uganda. It will always be special to both my son and me. Thank you, Paul, for teaching us about your country and the beautiful people who call it home. When my son is old enough, I will be returning to Uganda to take him on a mountain gorilla safari and I wouldn't dream of asking anyone other that you to plan the safari for me and to accompany us.

Review about Tanzania by Athena
There are lot's of safari destinations in Tanzania, more than a few the size of a small country and the wildlife viewing is incredible. The landscape is varied and gorgeous and the people of Tanzania are welcoming. I enjoyed birding considerably, though am not a serious birder - my trips to Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, however, convinced me that birding is an exciting and fun hobby.

Review about Tanzania by Jordan
My wife and I spent 12 days in Tanzania. We flew into Kilimanjaro International Airport and covered Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Serengeti. The wildlife viewing is absolutely amazing; especially in the Western Corridor. Our accomodations were first rate and the food was wonderful. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.
