Custom made, easy, value for money. Great Safari :D !
During my stay in Kenya I came in contact with Travel For Change. I had a face to face conversation with Martha and we discussed my ideas and the possibilities. I had various ideas for a safari but also wanted to be gentle on the budget. Within a few days I received an offer I liked in my e-mail: a 4 day Safari in Tsavo West National Park and Amboseli National Park for 3 persons. I took my parents with me.
The best things were the private driver and the accommodation Travel for Change chose for us. With the private driver and 4 days to spend we really had the time to explore and go our own way. The driver was very kind and knew all about the different animals we came across. He also tried his best to find as many animals as possible.
The accommodation was very well chosen. We got to experience both a Safari Lodge (Ngulia Lodge in Tsavo NP) and a Tented Camp (Kibo Safari Camp just outside Amboseli NP). Personally I liked the tented Camp, Kibo, the most because camping felt more adventurous while it was still very comfortable.
To wrap up: My safari was one custom made but planning that was surprisingly easy with this operator. And good value for money, Nice and skilful driver and nice accommodations.

An unforgettable adventure
Travel for Change Kenya did an amazing job providing me with an unforgettable experience through the Massi Mara as well as facilitated the process of connecting my time and energy in Kenya to impacting social change in the country. All the around, one of the best experiences of my life!

He proposed! Thank you Travel for Change
I will never forget the lengths Travel for Change went to make my African safari a success. My boyfriend of two years coordinated with Martha, a travel for change employee, Eliud who picked us up from the airport and James our driver to give me the best engagement week ever! I got a diamond ring and memories for a lifetime. I would love to share everything here but I can't coz there is just too much to say. I recommend this agency to anyone who want an African safari like no other!

A well arranged safari and an impessive experience!
Our son stayed in Kenya for a period of time and we decided to go and visit him there.
You can’t possibly visit Kenya and not go on a safari so therefore we decided to book one. We booked our game drive’s with Travel for Change. It was our first time to visit Africa and we had no experience with safari’s but we trusted Travel for Change that everything would be in order.
We enjoyed the beautiful parks so much: Amboseli and Tsavo-west. The three of us we enjoyed the luxury of a private van. That was really a plus on the whole trip.
The driver was professional and able to tell us a lot about the wildlife, the nature and also the country. With constant energy he kept driving us around to either find that one group of Lions or this beautiful group of elephants with cubs which made our safari so wonderful. Our nights we spent either viewing the animals from our hotel room or in a safari tent. It was so special.
The final morning in Nairobi, when we had to wake up very early to go to the airport, our safari-driver was there again to pick us up from the hotel and make sure we arrived at the airport in time.
It was an impressive experience for us and we look back on a perfectly arranged safari.

An Unforgettable experience you cannot miss!!
I can say without a doubt that Travel for change offers an excellent quality service and makes sure you have an unforgettable experience by arranging the best package tailored for you and your group. I worked at one of the community projects they support and can say that their willingness to support this projects makes Travel for Change a unique company! It not only provides you with amazing experiences by taking you to explore natural beauty of Kenya like I did, visiting Massai Mara with them, but also makes travelling even more purposeful and significant. When you know the company you travel with is positively impacting their community you know you have made the best decision in choosing them!

One of the best trips in a long time!!
We decided to go for the Classic Kenya Tour in May 2016. It was an unforgettable experience that I wouldn't want to miss in my recent travel history! The trip was on the one hand adventurous, but on the other hand we also had enough time to relax and let the daily life behind us. The nature was simply stunning and let us speechless in many occasions. It was great to see how welcoming people were and we were always offered extremely nice places to stay for the nights. Finally - and most importantly - the tour was very well organized and the guys were very responsive during the booking process and throughout the tour. The staff makes you feel really valued and you can establish good relationships. All in all definitely a trip that I can recommend to anyone - thanks again!

Excellent throughout. No hiccups and everything as we'd planned. Would book again!! Excellent
We have just returned from the Mara.
May I thank you for organising and sorting all the trip for us. It was unbelievable
The camp was nice for the price we paid and the people were friendly and helpful with no hiccups. Just what we wanted
I have to give a special mention to David the guide and driver. He is an absolute credit to you and I would not have wanted anyone else. Not only did he get us in positions from a photographic point of view he sourced everything we would have wanted to see. To add to that he was one of the most easy going most genuine guys we could of hoped for. He really did make the trip for us.
Thank you again and if you can pass the feed back to Dave also I would appreciate
Many thanks and I will return

Unforgettable Safari tour of North Tanzania with Travel for Change Africa
Our first ever African Safari in Tanzania of 4 nights and 5 days was wonderful.
The accommodations selected in the middle of jungle in the wilderness were outstanding with typical African jungle touch.
The guide and driver were very good and had smiles on the faces all the time.
The driver knew his way well and was very good

Exploring Kenya at Affordable Prices and Quality Service
We had a wonderful time in Kenya, thanks to TravelForChange team and especially Carlos (our driver and guide). We planned a 7 Night 8 Day tour - Amboseli-Nakuru-Masai Mara-Naivasha
Patricia and her team patiently helped us customize our itinerary in the initial phase. Everything was well executed - Pick Up/Drop, Hotel Bookings, Food, Safari Bookings, Park Fee etc.
All you have to do is reach the airport and everything is taken care of. We didn't have to worry about anything in terms of logistics.
I do have some Important Suggestion for those who plan to book with TravelForChange or other Tour Operators -
1. Ensure your Driver is also your guide and understands the bush better than you do. We got lucky as we have a wonderful guide. You have to remember that you will spend most of your time with the driver/guide. Please ensure you discuss this point in detail with the tour operator. Clarify Safari Timings before you sign the contract.
2. If you are doing Kenya only - You may skip Nakuru and Naivasha. Even if you have to travel longer by road, make sure you spend most of your time in Amboseli or Mara. If your budget permits, transfer by light aircraft between parks. The road to Masai Mara is badly maintained (Approx 150Km Stretch)
3. If your budget permits, try to book a lodge/tent inside the park.
On the whole everything was well arranged, accommodation in Amboseli - Kibo Safari Camp, Nakuru - Ziwa Bush Lodge and Naivasha - Naivasha Sopa Lodgewere brilliant. Wajee (in Masai Mara) was basic but very close to wilderness, we liked it but I think it could’ve been a little better.
We are very happy with our experience and we will definitely go back to Travel for Change Africa for our next Holiday in East Africa.

Harshita
