Expert guides, stunning wildlife, personalised service
1) A Memorable Safari with Extra Miles Unique Adventures
Our 11-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Extra Miles Unique Adventures was a truly unforgettable experience. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly witnessing the Great Migration at the Mara River.
2) Excellent Pre-Trip Planning and Communication
From the outset, the communication with Joseph was exceptional. He was incredibly responsive to our requests, tailoring the itinerary perfectly to our preferences and budget. The detailed itinerary provided was a great resource throughout our journey.
3) Good Value for Money
While safaris are generally a significant investment, we felt that Extra Miles offered good value for money. However, we were slightly disappointed with the quality of the vehicle, especially considering the cost. While it served its purpose, it could have been cleaner and better maintained, particularly the reclining seats which were often malfunctioning.
4) Reliable and Supportive
Extra Miles proved to be a reliable and trustworthy company. The regular check-ins from Joseph were reassuring, and the warm welcome from owner Melissa added a personal touch.
5) Knowledgeable Guides and Diverse Wildlife
Both of our guides were knowledgeable and skilled, securing prime viewing spots for incredible wildlife sightings. However, we felt that there could have been more proactive communication regarding the daily plans and itinerary, especially in Tanzania.
6) Mixed Experiences with Accommodations
The accommodations varied, with some like Embalakai Camp exceeding expectations and others like Country Lodge Karatu falling short. Nevertheless, we were fortunate to witness a diverse range of wildlife, including the Big Five.
7) Overall Recommendation
Despite a few minor shortcomings, we would highly recommend Extra Miles Unique Adventures to friends and family. By addressing the feedback on vehicle maintenance, guide communication, and accommodation choices, they can further enhance their already impressive service.
