Terrific safari in Kenya and Tanzania - couldn't have been better
This summer I went on safari for 10 days with Ancient Wild Safaris and it turned out to be a great choice. We had very reliable and frequent contact already before the trip and they provided great assistance during our entire time in Africa.
Ancient Wild organized a pick-up service at the airport and after 1 day in Nairobi we started the safari with 8 people overall. Our tour guide Joseph was outstanding, knowing Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru like the back of his hand. He provided us with great insights to the nature and wildlife of Kenya and enhanced the overall experience.
After the transfer to Tanzania, we joined a partner company of Ancient Wild, which took us on an amazing safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire.
Overall, the trip was outstanding, the accommodation was above expectations at all stops and the safari vans were in great shape.
I highly recommend this company: Mike, Joseph & Co. will take you on an unforgettable journey!

Our trip was exactly like we hoped it be!
We had a great experience with Ancient Wild Safaris, and Mike made sure everything was taken care of. There were a couple of small issues with transportation, and Mike was right there to take care of it. Our flight was delayed, and Mike gave us a driver to spend the day in Nairobi prior to our flight. I would recommend this company, and would certainly use them again! Our drivers were great, with special thanks to Justice and Paul, who were great guides.

Most physically-demanding experience!!!
This is by far the most exhausting activity that I've ever done! After all those hours of hiking up and down, battling altitude sickness and the cold temperatures, I was awarded one of the most magnificent view that I am proud to have experienced, on the peak of Mount Kenya.
I couldn't done this without the services of Ancient Wild Safaris, who set me up with local hiker guides, Wilson and Joseph, as well as a porter. All 3 were excellent in helping me reach my goal, with their extensive knowledge of the mountains, brilliant cooking skills and constant pep talks.
For that, thank you Ancient Wild Safaris!!!

The precommunication and suggestion offered by ( Mike) was just great. He polite and patient as possible. We opted for budget safari trip and that what exactly we got. We did 3day Masai mara, 2day nakru $ navisha, 3 amboseli trip, eveything was arranged for including the daily bottle of water rations to airport pick up and drop off. We stuck to our plans. No extras. We had smooth and wonderful trip.
Masa mara is was definetly worth it.

Wonderful experience with Ancient Wild Safaris
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful experience with Ancient Wild Safaris. I had been talking with Michael for several months before we arrived in Kenya asking him all sorts of questions. He was very prompt at replying back to me with all the answers to my questions. The itinerary provided to us was followed through completely to detail as provided . The only change made was a request made by myself which they accommodated . We were on a 7 day safaris that took us to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivashu and to Aboseli park. We also used Ancient Wild Safaris to provide two days after our safari on day trips around Nairobi. All of the guides we had did a great job and we want to especially want to thank our guide Joseph who spent 5 1/2 days with us and was an awesome guide. I would highly recommend using Ancient Wild Safaris

Wonderful Safari Experience
We had an amazing trip with Ancient Wild Safaris. The 6 day trip included us driving around Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Michael was very prompt in responding to all our queries prior to our travel. Our Safari Guide, Stanley, was really nice as he put up very well with our fun loving group! We asked Stanley to show us an animal, and he did; we wanted to capture a certain photograph and he helped us do it! He always understood what we were looking for and tried his best to get what we wanted. We were always informed about our day and stops in advance and there were no surprises. On the last day, Joseph took us to the Masai Market in Nairobi and the restaurant Carnivore for the experience (which I would recommend if you have the time). It was definitely an amazing experience with Ancient Safari! Thank you guys!

Amazing emotions
I agreed all details about my trip with Mike, which have been recommended me by my friend. It included 4 days safari in Ngorongoro (Wildlife lodge, 1 night) and Serengeti (Serena camp and lodges, 2 nights). We started our adventure in Kili aeroport without luggage :) Agency did their best to take luggage day after from aeroport and take care about it till our return to Arusha. It is absolutely "must" to have some clothes in hand luggage)))
Safari was organised excellent, guid was outstanding, his name was Kosmos and we liked him! We saw Big 5, of course, and very close to the car)
Then we came back to Arusha, spent 1 night in very simple Grace Hotel and next day began our climbing to Meru Mountain (height is 4600m). It is not easy but absolutely worth to! Third day we had flight to Zanzibar at 5 pm, it was really a risk. However our guid Ali agreed for us a car from first camp, without the car it would had not been possible to catch the flight.
For climbing we rent sleeping bags and walking sticks. Paid 120$ for 2pax, the quality is not good, honestly.
I want to say great "thank you" to Mike, who made our dreams true. Moreover I couldn't imagine so incredible hospitality, quality, speed of reaction and care about us. It was really amazing and unforgetable!

Unforgettable experience
We spent 16 days in Africa, travelling in Kenya and Tanzania.
As first, unforgettable experience, we've done everything we could think of: safaris with the Big 5 spotted, climbing the very top peak of Africa and, in the end, a relaxing conclusion on the coast.
Ancient Wild Safari, thanks to their responsibles and guides, has been a tremendous companion in this adveturous journey, providing all the necessary support to enjoy every single moment spent in these fantastic territories where it all originated.

Very credible operator capable to organize great safaris for a family with kids
Our family of five (including three kids of 11, 8 and 5 years old) has just returned on Feb 8th from an 8 days safaris to Kenya and Tanzania. We decided to go with Ancient Wild Safaris based on positive feedbacks left on this website by previous travellers and we are happy we chose this company.
Mike was always prompt to reply to emails and very operative in helping us adjust our program to our needs in best manner. The whole trip was arranged very smoothly and accommodations were picked wisely to make sure we had a great varied experience not only in wild life but in staying in different lodges, including deep-dive into savannah's life at the camping site in the heart of Serengeti.
During the trip everything was up to expectations and beyond. Very safe travel given our pre-trip hesitations of taking little son and daughter with us. Tons of wonderful experiences and positive emotions. Our guide Joseph was above all compliments; he always went an extra mile to make every day memorable. Given the dry season and, hence, smaller quantity of animals (compared to rainy season) Joseph went to every possible corner to explore and find animals otherwise hiding in the bush. So we managed to see all animals (well, except rhino which is hard to see in any season).
Afterwards our kids are happy. So we are. This operator proved to be reliable and, given their small size, quite flexibly and quick in organizing customized program.
And we would recommend Anciant Wild Safaris to any friend now and will definitely go with Mike and Joseph next time. Thank you guys!
