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.

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!

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!

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

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!!!

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.

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!

Amazing 11-day safari in both Kenya in Tanzania
This summer me and two friends went down from Sweden to explore beautiful East Africa. As we had in total around 20 days and we wanted to spend a couple of days in Zanzibar, we decided to go for a long 11-day safari to get the most out of Kenya and Tanzania. As a summary, the trip was fantastic, great guide & driver, very safe travels, nice accommodation and good food, couldn't have expected anything more!
We found Ancient Wild Safari through safaribookings.com actually and picked it based on the high number of good reviews and a fair price. The first contact was with Mike who was very helpful from the beginning. He also assisted us with planning a little customized trip because we wanted to have one day less in total and stay in Arusha at the end of our safari so that we were able to make it down to Zanzibar from there.
Paying the deposit was smooth and we got a receipt, so throughout the whole process before we started the trip, we always had all information we needed. Mike even answered a lot of other questions that we had about visa, vaccinations and travel in general.
Once arriving at the airport in Nairobi we got picked up by Paul, one of their drivers, who had waited for us several hours in the middle of the night because my luggage had gone missing. But it was clear that the luggage wasnt gonna come that night so we decided to go back the next day to get it at the airport. While in Nairobi we went to the office of Ancient Wild Safari and met Mike and another of his employees. Everybody was really friendly and we got a lot of tips for Nairobi as well. At night, Paul drove me to the airport again so that I could pick up my missing luggage.
The next morning, the actual safari started and we got picked up by our guide and driver, Joseph. A super cool guy who was fun to hang out with from the first minute. We picked up some other passengers and left for the Masai Mara. In total we had 5 days safari in Kenya and 5 in Tanzania. We saw a lot of beautiful places and animals and Joseph was a guide with 12 years experience so he really contributed a lot with all of his knowledge, not only about the local wildlife and nature, but also about the country and culture in general.
Joseph was our guide for Kenya and after five days we went back to Nairobi to take the bus to Arusha where we met our guide for Tanzania. Just like in Kenya, everything was really great and we saw a lot of cool stuff, had great national park experiences and in Tanzania we even had our own chef with us.
Well, I can't write much more, it was just a great experience and please contact me if you want to know any more information or tips, happy to help out!
I can highly recommend Ancient Wild Safaris, we got so much help from them, it was superb service.
Thanks!
