You will not be disappointed!
The ACZ Safari was the highlight of my 3 week backpacking adventure around Africa. They are quick to respond to emails, picked me up and dropped me off where I was staying, and provided water, meals and the best lodging! Edward was an incredible driver and a great guide; he led us right to the great wildebeest migration!
I am lucky to have had this unforgettable experience.
Thank you ACZ!

African comfort zone safaris provided the perfect safari in the Maasai Mara for us for a good price!
Originally I chose African comfort zone safaris because me and my friends were all quite young and looking for a reasonably budget safari to suit our limited funds. The company itself were brilliant and Joshua Atsiangi was outstanding at replying to my e-mails when I had queries regarding the booking process and, closer to the time, when organising a pick up location and time. The safari itself was outstanding, our guide Sami was brilliant and was always quickly onto the scene when animals were spotted, he knew a lot of interesting information about everything we saw and we were really fortunate to see lots of rare things such a cheetahs multiple times!
Overall this safari was absolutely perfect for me and my friends as it was well priced, the accommodation we stayed in was perfectly comfortable and warm, our guide Sami was brilliant and we felt like we saw everything the Maasai Mara had to offer in a 4 day 3 night tour!

Good value, fun 3 day 2 night safari at Masai Mara
Safari itself was a good time. Our driver (Peter) was awesome. He was polite and listened to us when we wanted to stop or move on to other things. The campsite was alright, but the food situation was weird. It seemed like other groups at the same campsite had a specific cook that would reserve tables (of which there weren't enough for the number of people staying there) and set them up and make specific buffets just for them. For some reason our group didn't get this treatment from our cook. Our food was basically the exact same meals both days... but for 2 nights it's not a big deal. The food wasn't bad, just kinda bland. Shower was hot, toilet worked, towels were provided when I asked for one, and the bed sheets seemed clean to me. Beds weren't terribly comfy, but for 2 nights, they did the job and it was a heck of a lot better than sleeping on the ground would've been.
Josh was very reasonable and helpful. He answered all my questions, and picked me up from my place near the Nairobi centre to meet other safari group members. He was very organized. Only thing was when I was brought back to Nairobi, it was with a different driver than we'd had the rest of the trip with (we transferred at a town on the way back because some others were continuing on to Lake Navisha) and he wanted to just dump me in the city centre (not back at my place as Josh and I had agreed). When I called Josh, he arranged for a taxi driver to bring me back home and it all worked out.
All in all, the best deal I could find. Was $290 USD all in, and I have no regrets. Great experience, met some really nice people from all over the world in my group.

The best driver of Maasai Mara!
Great organization, Joshua is very nice and available, Peter is a fenomenal driver and thanks to him we could stay very next to the animals of Maasai Mara. I recommend SCZ

Best masai mara company... i love them
Everythings has been perfect, communication, they help me to book the bus ticket to arusha aswell...
They are really prepared to organize your best safari experience and our driver was the best... he drove us in the best spot to see more animals possible... ill do another safari with you guys for sure... you are the best..
and for me wasnt the 1 safari experience... i did 2 years ago in serengeti and others in tanzania, but in my opinion masai mara is better.. more wild...
Thanks a lot.. i wish you the best
Excellent tour. Tour guide was very informative.

Great experience with great people!
The Safari was fantastic! Saw the big five and learnt a lot about the animals and life in the Masai Mara. Accommodation was great and very comfortable. The only thing we wouldn't recommend is the stop at Lake Navaisha - it's not necessary and you don't really do anything there. Tour guide was also excellent.

Safari Adventure was not quite what I expected. The housing was primitive and unacceptable.
The communications were average the service was very poor the tents were absolutely terrible. No hot water for 3 days no way to flush the toilet. Could not take a shower for 3 days

A once in a lifetime experience!
The initial correspondence with the tour operator Joshua was very good - efficient and professional, as well as informative! Making sure that the tour fitted our needs and payment through PayPal was very easy!
On the day, Joshua met us at the specified location as agreed, and was very friendly. He introduced us to our guide and driver and told us he would meet us again on our arrival back to Nairobi.
Our guide and driver, James, was incredible! His knowledge of the Masai Mara and its animals was astounding - every question we asked him, he knew the answer to. Throughout the 3 day safari, he made huge efforts to locate the different animals using the CB radio to communicate with fellow guides. We ended up seeing 4 of the 'big 5', including a rhino, which is incredibly rare!
The accommodation and food was really impressive and well organised, as was the whole experience. A bonus visit to the Masai Village was humbling and a truly unique experience, and for a very reasonable additional cost!
Upon return to Nairobi, Joshua met us as he had said he would and took time to accompany us to various places around the city, helping us to arrange our immediate future plans!
A fantastic company, fantastic experience and a fantastic review well deserved! Would highly recommend!
