Very well organised
I had a superb time! Susan from Tropical Wild did such a great job organising my trip & was excellent with communications throughout.
A couple of things to be aware of:
1) If travelling solo in off-peak season then you are likely to be in a 4x4 with people who booked through other companies, so you might not be staying in the same accommodation as them. They also might be on a shorter trip, so the people in the car may change (& even the driver/guide!). It all worked out well for me though as the changes spiced things up.
2) My first tented camp didn’t have any soap in the bathroom, so remember to pack your own!

Efficient organization and lovely dedication that allows to discover and enjoy the beauty of Kenia
I had the luck of having James Gichina and Johnny Jackson as drivers of this amazing trip through 4 Reserves and Natural Parks. You notice how relentless they were in the pursuit of finding the big 5 five and the best possible shot and educating you about the natural live and its mysteries.
Even that, the nature has its own ways in the games and it was not possible to spot all of them, specially the leopard although all efforts. I hope for it at my return.

They have been very professional and helpful since the very beginning
I did the low budget 6 day group safari tour from Masai Mara to Amboseli NP. It was amazing! The tour was very well organized and we had plenty of game drives. We got to see the big five in Masai Mara, which I highly recommend. Accomodation in tented camps was basic, but you could surely find anything you needed. Moreover, the campsites were really close to the entrance of the NPs, which was really convenient. Staff were super friendly and food was great, definitely beyond our expectations. The highlight of the tour was the driver, Albert, who would do his best to show you the wildlife and tell you everything about it. It was good value for money

Wonderful Safari and hospitality Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
We planned our amazing trip in detail with Susan from TWE for our East Africa trip (7 days in Kenya and 7 days in Tanzania). She was very informative and flexible to curate a plan according to our need and requirements. The communication was one on one for the most part and hence we were able to better prepare for our trip.
Planning:
The Safari guides, accommodations, and food arranged were top notch. The planning and transfer between accommodations and national parks were very well organized. At the end of the Kenya part of our trip, TWE helped us with the border crossing formalities(it was a very smooth crossing without ant issues.)
Tanzania part of our Safari was also indirectly catered by TWE with the help of another tour operator in Tanzania. We had more personalized itinerary (which included a few internal flights). The planning and communication was very good between different guides in different areas for us. Any request from our end reg either accommodations or itinerary was very well responded to.
Safari:
We saw so many animals on our first day in Masai Mara, Kenya itself. That set the tone for the rest of our trip. We really had the best co-passengers and safari guide for the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru part of our Safari! Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania is something you don't see anywhere else in the world. Our different guides in different parts of Tanzania were very warm, friendly and professional. It was amazing to see people at work who really love their jobs! Highly recommend chimpanzee trekking in Gombe National Park. It was surreal.
Food:
We were pleasantly surprised with both Kenyan and Tanzanian food. We even enjoyed a 4 course meal at our first 2 days of camp stay in Kenya. In Tanzania, the dedicated cook Erica, who travelled with us during our camp days prepared all types of top-notch cuisines. In Tanzania the lunch at Materuni village was one of the best food we have ever eaten.
Accommodations:
The camps in Kenya are really luxury camps with spacious rooms and cleanest bathrooms. There in electricity, hot water and you can literally stay there for weeks without any hassle. In Tanzania our stay at Chemka Paradise Eco Lodge was very peaceful, We wish we had planned to stay longer there. Be mindful though the camping in Tanzania is actual back-country type of camping with shared bathrooms, which was very different from Kenya. The views make up for the comfort there.
Overall we had a fantastic time! Hope to return one day with more family members!

Perfect safari for what we wanted
This safari was exactly what we hoped it would be- to see as many things and places as possible with down to earth accommodations on a budget (as we’re a family of 8).
Major pros & highlights:
The animals. We saw so much! And David was always willing to stop for even the smallest of birds.
The food, especially at the Lake Naivasha accommodations (Apex Leisure).
David knows how to get you in the perfect spot for the best photos and experiences. We felt like we always had the best view!!
The final stop at Manjaro tented camp had the friendliest hospitality. Extra props to Jonathan for always being available.
Timeliness- David was always ready on time.
Susan is quick to reply to our emails which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was ultimately the reason we went with this company.
Cons:
There were some miscommunications with the cost of the extra experiences. I’m not sure where the problem landed- us, guide or vendor but it happened twice. I’d recommend making sure it’s VERY clear and agreed on by everyone prior to starting. It’d be nice if you knew the prices prior to the trip.
While petty, the pillow situation was tough- if you’re pillow picky, I’d recommend bringing a small one just in case.
The time in the car driving from one location to another can be quite long (7+ hours) so be prepared. I’m not sure there is another way to see so much but if you have smaller kids or don’t enjoy very long road trips, consider few parks.
Overall, we would do this again! Thank you!!
