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!

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

Amazing Family Safari in Ngorongoro with Travel for Change
Going on safari in Tansania was a dream I had since my daughter was born. As I had been on safari before, I wanted to experience it with her as well. So when she turned 5, we felt it was time to do it.
We selected Ngorongoro because of the beautiful scenery, many animals in relatively compact area and the high altitude to minimize the risks of getting malaria. We got offers from around 10 safari tour operators.
We finally selected Travel for Change because they met all our requirements: private safari, accommodation above 1800 meters altitude, a convincing programme (not too much driving since we were with a small child), social responsibility, and a very good pricing! Throughout the booking process, they were impressively flexible to adjust the programme to our desire and needs. We went through several rounds of adjustments until we were completely satisfied.
The 5-day safari also went very well. Our Travel for Change guides (Elia and Silvia) were knowledgeable, kind, helpful and understanding for our special needs with a small child. Most importantly, our guides always asked if any adjustments were needed, and were always flexible to make short-term changes to the programme – for example, when we felt tired, or felt like sleeping longer. The places we stayed in were awesome too, especially the Angata Camp in Ngorongoro blew our minds away. Great tents with their own showers, great food and beautiful location from where you get down into the crater in a few minutes (on the east side, with less other cars!). From our tents in the Crater Forest Lodge we even saw elephants grazing 50 meters from our tents. We made day trips to Lake Manyara, Lake Olmoti Crater with visit to a maasai village market, and of course Ngorongoro Crater. All of the activities were great experiences, we felt to be gaining both nature and cultural insights. The whole tour went smoothly without any issues.
I would recommend Travel to Change Africa to all my friends who are looking for a reliable, flexible and socially responsible safari operator. Thanks to all their team for this trip!!!

Excellent Tour company
I and Charlie visited Tanzania between 4th Feb. and 10th Feb 2017. From the planning stage to the real journey, everything went well. visited Ngorongoro, crater , Ndutu and Serengeti. The experience was amazing, never seen so many lions in my entire life. It was a real pleasure to plan the trip with Patricia and the entire crew. The camps and hotels that were recommended are of very high standard.
Overall we had a great trip. Special thanks to our guide Silvia and Elias who were with us up to the end of our trip. They were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. We will surely travel with you again
