Kenya expedition
We booked RA Safaris for a private Kenya tour out of Nairobi for a week and visited Amboseli , Lake Navaisha and Masai Mara. The trip went exactly as planned and we got to see much more than anticipated. James - our driver and guide - was wonderful and made sure we saw everything ( got the big 5 !). Always up close to the animals and gave us plenty of time . Nothing was rushed. Lodges were well above expectations with great food and magic rooms. Highly recommend this company.

Outstanding and Affordable Tanzania Safaris for Birding, Wildlife, and Cultural Experiences
I have taken 3 groups of friends over about a 12-year period and the safaris have always exceeded my expectations. The same with friends who have used RA Safaris on my recommendation. Their guides are great birders and amazing experts in animal behavior. The safari vehicles are comfortable and in good condition and the meals, lodging, and bush camps selected are excellent. I enjoy visiting many different tribal villages in addition to birding and wildlife viewing. RA Safaris will arrange the safari to accommodate the client's interest, for example to focus on birding, landscape photography, or wildlife migration or various combinations thereof. I am planning to take my young grandson and family on another RA Safari in 2017.

The trip of a lifetime.
The service we received from RA Safaris was perfect from beginning to end. They were flexible when the size of our party changed and looked after us extremely well. Nothing was too much trouble. We climbed Kilimanjaro and went on Safari with RA Safaris and our guides were friendly, professional, helpful and knowledgeable in both cases. We felt safe and well cared for at all times. Our trip was exactly what we wanted and we were extremely grateful for the advice we were given. The trip was excellent value for money and we do not hesitate to recommend RA Safaris to anyone. I am convinced that no company could provide a better experience than RA Safaris.

Kilmanjaro and Safari Tour 2016
RA Safaris have proved invaluable from start to finish. They created a terrific itinerary which they altered to suit our particular requirements.....more R&R!
The trek up Kilimanjaro was organised down to the last detail by RA Safaris. Our guides gave help when needed and explained to us about what we were seeing and going to experience. The cook created terrific dishes out of thin air and ensured that a vegetarian, a gluten intolerant and a pure carnivore were all happy! The porters could not have been more friendly and helpful. We couldn't have reached the summit without RA Safaris.
The safari we did was outstanding. We had three days during which we saw more than we could have hoped for, including a lion hunt and kill. Something I believe not many people see! Our guide on safari was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife we saw and had a great sense of humour as well.
Our accommodation was carefully chosen by RA Safaris. All our Safari Lodges were in lovely locations, were comfortable and the food delicious. Each of the four lodges we stayed in was our favourite!
Thank you RA Safaris.
Expert guide,a birder with uncommon knowledge, patience, & an eye for even the slightest movement
As a locally owned and guided tour operator, RA Safaris was professional in every way: knowledge of the animals and habitat was impressive, as was their graciousness in responding to our needs. Our guide was very professional, and his open, friendly manner created an atmosphere of comfort and security. RA Safaris communicated with us clearly, comprehensively and regularly during the planning phase and the tour went flawlessly. I enthusiatically recommend this company!

Itinerary they created was perfect. The guide, accommodation, meals were all very good.
Their response to my questions were always prompt.
Their tour price was also very reasonable and cheaper than other local agencies I contacted.
I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you RA Safari for our memorable Safari vacation.

Best two weeks of my life. A great experience in every regard. Worth the 46 hour round trip.
The round the clock best customer service I have experienced. Every day was an excellent adventure. No pressure no, stress enjoyment of the incredible beauty of Tanzania. There are not enough good words, or words good enough to describe my feelings toward this company and it's guides. Going back this December to experience it again.

Thanks for another wonderful Tanzanian Experience
Firstly we wanted to have a Tanzanian owned and operated tour operator. RA Safaris did not let us down . They organised a fantastic itinerary of Lake Mantra, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire for my wife, my daughter and her husband and their 2 children aged 8 and 10.
We have been to the Northern Tanzanian game parks 3 times before, but this was the best trip of them all.
Our Guide/Driver (Sahele) was one of the best you could possibly find. He knew his fauna in particular his birds He was a very careful and competent driver, who managed to help other drivers out of difficulties when they got bogged in the mud. He knew how to drive in the very soft conditions. Nothing was a problem to him. He made it a fun trip for the grand children.
When we needed help for some medical and other issues, the response by the owner Zeph was terrific - speedy and effective.
