Safaris By Ella Arvostelua 

Ella’s insight and recommendations was invaluable while planning my Tanzania/Kenya safari!
Ella is responsive and provides helpful information during the planning process.

Useful for narrowing down safari operators. It's nice seeing what someone who has been on so many safaris recommends. We used her recommendation in Tanzania and the trip was wonderful.

The guidance from Safaris By Ella was so valuable in our choice of safari company and overall experience. We had no idea where to begin, but Ella's own experiences helped point us in the right direction. Upon submitting a request for safari company recommendations, we received them quickly. I appreciate that her recommendations come from direct experiences and are not influenced by other factors. We chose Encounter Okavango/Galago Travel for a 10-day safari in Botswana and it far exceeded our expectations. The communication throughout our experience was high quality and the safari experience was amazing. We had a seasoned guide and great camp staff. Our wildlife sightings were incredible and the trip was a dream come true, enhanced by utilizing a reliable company. Ella even followed up after our trip to ensure all was up to the standards we expected. I highly recommend Safaris By Ella as well as Encounter Okavango/Galago Travel!

Recently completed a very enjoyable safari based in Arusha TZ to The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater area, and a fabulous time was had. The guidance of 'Safaris By Ella' in helping choose a guide company for our specific needs (in our case Serengeti Clarity) was very useful and helped make it a most memorable trip. A well earned five stars!

Very swift and accurate detailed suggestions of Safari companies.
Very helpful

Ella helped us choose a reliable Local Agent!

We decided to look for a travel agent in Kenya to arrange our Safari and Ella was super helpful. In the end we went with Beyond the Plains Safaris but got quotes from agents who Ella had already shortlisted.

I can highly recommend Safaris By Ella. We had an AMAZING experience with Sky Theme Safaris in Botswana, after Ella’s recommendation.
The owner Olly arranged everything for us in a timely manner, not easy with only 10 days notice. We had a fantastic guide in Mopane (known affectionately as Muffin). He was an incredible, highly trained tracker with an innate ability to take us (and radio assist guides from other trucks) over tricky terrain to catch fantastic sightings such as a cheetah and her 3 cubs, 2 lion prides, leopard, ... I could go on. He was known in the park as the Lion King/Whisperer, the other drivers would tell us this ... and to top it off he is just a lovely human being. We also had a brilliant chef in Eddie and his assistants Omphile and Raps. Together they were a great team!
We have been on at least 10 game drives/safaris in several countries now and this was by far our best experience; a truly wonderful adventure. I can highly recommend Sky Themes, and Safaris By Ella is a great platform to launch your safari planning. Ella offers lots of practical advice and she has the local knowledge which gave us the confidence to book our trip privately and not through an agent.
Thank you Ella for all your recommendations and tips!

Ella reached out to us immediately we started looking for available Safari options in Keya, Tanzania and Uganda. All the safari tour companies that she recommended and put us in touch with did send in proposals for review. The company we finally selected for our experience was very good, and Ella's recommendation really paid off.
