Great experience
We had a 7 days safari in Tanzania in Aug 24. From the very beginning I really enjoyed Monkey Adventures: the booking process was easy and clear and we received several options to choose from. We received all the information we needed (emails and guidelines were completed and crystal clear).
The day we arrived in Tanzania we had a 30min briefing to be prepared for the safari. Accommodations were all very good; I must say that they all overcome my expectations as we opted for what we thought were budget solutions but they resulted to be very nice, very clean and comfortable. Tasty meals (side note: I'm allergic to diary and I had never troubles to get proper meals). The guide we had was very experienced and we saw a lot of animals. We really enjoyed the experience. Really pleasant also the trip to Materuni Falls and coffee plantation on the last day.
Great value for money.
We definetly will be contacting Monkey_adventures_africa again if we have the opportunity to travel in the countries they operate.
Efficient, responsive, pleasant.
We had an amazing safari. We had some questions to clear mid Safari and they were extremely responsive and ensured for a very pleasant few days. They chose a good tour guide for us to work with and organised everything excellently at very short notice. Highly recommend!

Tim knows how to give you an excellent experience
I had my first Safari experience, with Monkey Adventures from 23 December to 30 December.
The Safari least 8 days, we started with 4 days at Masai Mara, staying at Julia's River Camp, we had a tent experience in the VIP camp, right next to the river. Julia's River Camp is surrounded by the river and it's open to wild animals, nothing that you have to take care about it because security does it for you, escorting you from and back to the tent, after dinner or when you need it.
We enjoyed our stay at Masai Mara mostly because of the game driving, thanks to our guide Timothye, it was easy to see a lot of wild animals, also see Zebras crossing a river with wildebeest and some

This company deserves no less than a 5 star rating. Trustworthy and reliable!
We had a great time on our first safari in Kenya with Monkey Adventures! From the moment I got in touch with them through Safari Bookings, John was very responsive to my emails and answered all my questions about our safari. He helped us plan our 3 day private safari in Amboseli National Park. We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi on time by our wonderful guide in a 4x4 Land Cruiser. We absolutely enjoyed the convenience of being in the center of everything by staying at Ol Tukai Lodge! Yvonne and Robert from the main office were also very helpful and responsive when we communicated with them regarding our delayed baggage on Whatsapp. They went above and beyond in making sure our luggages got delivered to us, even though we were already across the border in Tanzania! I cannot emphasize how helpful they are during this crazy time of travel. We had a similar experience in the UK which was the next leg of our trip where our luggage was delayed once again in Amsterdam. Our tour operator or anybody really was not able to help us recover them while we were still in the UK.
Over all, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip because of this company and it certainly was money well spent. Do not hesitate to book your East African with this company! 5 stars all the way! Thank you John, Faizah, Yvonne and Robert!

Exceptional
Monkey Adventures were professional from start to finish. Their service and advice during enquiries and booking was very quick and helpful during the safari itself our driver was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, this really made the trip memorable for us. The accomodation and vehicle were all to a high standard and we were very comfortable throughout the whole trip.
With so many companies out there it is hard to decide on what one to go for. I would highly recommend monkey to anyone planning a safari.

The trip was great, and Monkey Travel was excellent. Our guide, Remmy, our assistant guides, Peter, and Bura were most helpful as they come. Out porters, Kevin, and Aman were also most helpful to our group. They provided every thing we asked for. I highly recommend Monkey Travel.

Everything was great
John our travel planer, was very helpful, quickly answered all our questions and tailored the perfect safari for us.
Basecamp in Maasai Mara was awesome. Personals was lovely, very comfortable accommodation with great food. Highly recommended!
We spent un unforgettable week with our guide Letoloi. He was friendly, he knew a lot about animals and he was sharing the information about Kenya. He knew where to go to see all the animals without to be surrounded by another tourist cars. He has a lot of respect for animals, we saw all the animals so close but without feeling that we disturb them by our presence. Every day we had fantastic breakfast or lunch in savanna. Road from Masai Mara to Amboseli was so dangerous, we have seen many car accident, but Letoloi drive so carefully that we felt safe.
If we will be back to Africa for safari in future we will not hesitate to choose Monkey adventures. And if we will back to Kenya we would like to have Letoloi as our guide again

Fantastic experience
Monkey Adventures allows you to customize your trip - both the duration and the accommodations. This way you only pay for what you want. They provide links to the different hotels so you can easily chose among them. John, our trip planner, was great with arrangements and changes and responded promptly by email answering all questions, no matter how minor. He also provided links to easily gets visas, etc.
Our guide/driver, Dickson, was fantastic, taking efforts to have us see as much as possible including the big 5, black rhinos and a wildebeast river crossing. He was very knowledgeable and helpful.
All in all, we had a great and very affordable safari with Monkey Adventures.

One of the best holiday experience for the family!
We did 7 day safari covering Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and Amboseli with Monkey adventures in Jan 2020. We had a absolutely fantastic experience. My 6 year old still talks only about the places, people and animals he saw. All thanks to monkey adventures for making it so memorable.
We started on 12th from Nairobi to Masai mara. Our guide Francis was a jolly person, and went along well with my son, patiently answering his several questions (which was one of my top concerns). They became good friends. Francis is 50 plus and my son is 6, yet their compatibility was so good.
The safari vehicle was good and comfortable.
Masaai mara is simply enchanting. We saw several animals upclose. We saw 4 of the big five here on day one itself.
After the wonderful game drives and 2 days of masaai mara, we headed out to Nakuru. We were met by the monkey representatives on the way, who checked if everything was going fine and if we needed any assistance.
In Nakuru we saw two Rhinos and a lazy lion sleeping on the track almost blocking the way. At the lake we walked a few meters with a ranger to the lake to see a Rhino up-close.
Next we headed out to Naivasha. The boat ride and walking tour in crescent island was awesome. We rode close to the family of hippos and in the walking tour we saw hyenas closer than expected:) :)
Our next stop was Amboseli. We saw many many birds here and several family of elephants, always with a tiny cute one amongst them.
Our last stop was at Nairobi, where we did a day tour visiting elephant orphanage and Giraffe center. Both amazing and a must visit place in Nairobi.
All the accommodations provided to us by the Monkey Adventures were beyond expectation. Since all three of us are vegetarians, they conveyed our dietary needs to the accommodations in-advance and we were provided with hot, yummy vegetarian meals everywhere.
We thank all of the monkey staff for making this trip a memorable one and looking forward for many more.
