Wonderful Safari and hospitality Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
5/5

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
5/5

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!!

Nice people and pretty good organization
5/5

Pretty good organization and nice people. Susan organized me 10 days Kenya & Tanzania Trip and helped my to cross de border from Kenya to Tanzania.
A unforgettable trip and really had a good experience. I am so sure I will going back soon.

5/5

Dear Susan,
My Safaritrip with Tropical surpassed all my expectations.
Starting with the service provided from Susan, solving my travel irregularity challenge, further with selection of an excellent guide, the exiting Hot Air Balloon trip, Masai village tour, abundance of animals, and the trip to the Crescent Island, all during one wonderful week. I will recommend you to my friends.

Please send me the book "A Field Guide to the Animals&Birds of Kenya/Tanzania", I will send you the payment in $ when you provide payment details.

Best regards. Gunnar

Susan and David were very professional, attentive and helpful
5/5

Susan and I corresponded daily to organize my 9 day safari to Masai Mara (3 full days of game drives), Nakuru, Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli. She always answered all my questions in a very prompt, helpful and courteous manner. When an unexpected wrinkle arose with an accommodation, she quickly arranged a swap. From start to end, everything was amazing! I'd highly recommend this company.
