Recent reviews from travellers who planned and booked their Africa trips with Engabi Tours and Travel

Engabi Tours is 2 for 2!
Last year, friends and I did the Mountain Gorilla tour in Uganda and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Truly epic.
We stayed in touch with Christopher at Engabi Tours and this year did the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater, 4 day/3 night safari in Tanzania. Totally different experience but equally legend.  Starting with our guide, Vitalis, who was an absolute rock star. His knowledge and experience greatly enhanced the experience. There was no tree, bird, plant, animal or landmark he could not speak to. Human Google. We were up close and intimate with more lions, elephants, giraffe and Buffalo than we could count.
