Awesome experience
5/5

This week we went on the 6 days budget Safari tour with Mara Triangle, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli. With his big smile, positive energy and a talent to each time find the right spot to watch the wildlife, our driver and guide Bonnie made it an awesome experience (Asante Sana Bonnie!!). We were also very lucky to see many animals, including many baby animals like a baby rhino and baby lions! The accommodation and food was all well arranged, including for those of us who are vegan and vegetarian. Not only the tour itself was a positive experience, but also the contact with Mara Triangle prior to the safari was very positive. Whenever we had any questions, they were always quick to reply.

Great experience
5/5

We did the Tanzania and Kenya Safari with Mara Triangle Safaris. We had two guides, one for each country and both were great.
We saw the big five and learned a lot of new things about animals.
They were both excelent drivers and took care of us all the way.
We definitely recommend them.

Brilliant Safari
5/5

Incredible holiday!
We organised this 3 week safari holiday ourselves direct with Lucy.
She planned a brilliant itinerary and nothing was too much trouble.
We made quiet a few changes and every time Lucy made sure we were getting the best service possible.
Our destinations, accomodations, game drives and extra sctitivies were wonderful.
Booking direct with Lucy is safe, easy and a great itinerary is guaranteed.

Our driver Kasimba is a legend!
We've done 9 safari type holidays and Kasimba is stand out great!
His knowledge of the areas, animals, and local customs is extensive.
His 4 wheel driving ability absolutely incredible as is his on road driving.
Kasimba gave us so many laughs made sure we enjoyed every moment of our holiday.
His commitment to putting us first and keeping us safe was his first priority.

We highly reccomend Mara Triangle Safaris

My friend and I wanted to book a Kenya/Tanzania safari tour. Lucy from Mara Triangle Safari was very helpful, super responsive and worked with us to create a great itinerary. Lucy took her time to tailor the initinerary based on our requirements. She was friendly and patient. Unfortunately, we were unable to go ahead with the booking. However, I recommend Lucy and with Mara Triangle Safari for their stellar service and dilligence.

5/5

My friends and I did a 6 day safari from Ambesoli to Lake Nakuru to Maasai Mara. The communication in booking was timely and all questions that came up as the safari was coming up were responded to quickly. We were provided with an excellent tour guide driver. The driver had an incredible depth of knowledge that he shared in a delightful way as you learn about the areas and the animals. He managed to get the land cruiser in good locations to get great views and pictures of all sorts of different animals. The lodging was all in properties with incredible views and wonderful helpful staff. My friends and I had a great experience.

Safari trip of a lifetime to see the best of Kenya and Tanzania
5/5

The 11 night tour that Lucy organised for us through Kenya and Tanzania was amazing. We had the most wonderful time and the amount of wildlife we saw was incredible with some rare viewings of big cats hunting etc and thousands of other animals. We saw the big 5 within 2 days and many more times after that too. We visited Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Amboselli.

The itinerary was perfect, we were driving for long periods most days with early morning starts and picnic lunches but we knew about that in advance from the itinerary so it wasn't a problem. We really wanted to maximise our time in the parks seeing the wildlife for photography which we definitely achieved with our busy itinerary.

Overall we preferred driving in Kenya to Tanzania as it was at a more relaxed pace. Because of the longer distances to be covered each day in Tanzania some of the driving was faster on very bumpy roads and tracks, some people may prefer a slower pace and a shorter itinerary because of this. Both of our driver guides Kim in Kenya and Geovanni in Tanzania were excellent, very friendly, gave us lots of interesting information and knew where to take us for the best game viewing. We saw such fantastic sights in both countries we could not really pick a favourite, there were so many highlights every day.

The accommodation and food standards varied with the lodges being more luxurious than tented camps but we enjoyed the experience of staying at all of them. For us the best rooms and surroundings were at Marera Mountain View Lodge which was such a beautiful place to stay but all the others were of a good to very good standard. Staff everywhere are very helpful and friendly and the food is plentiful with a good variety.

Lucy's help and advice planning our excellent trip of a lifetime was greatly appreciated. Philomena was also great meeting us at Nairobi airport on arrival late at night and joining us for the drive back at the end of our trip.

We highly recommend Mara Triangle to anybody who may be thinking of an African safari holiday in future.
