I dealt with Charity from Super Eagles Travel and Tours and she was excellent!
I took the 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari. We had 6 days in Kenya and 4 days in Tanzania. I took the budget tour bec I want to experience staying in a tent.
Before I start let me give you some tips. You don’t need visa in Kenya but you need ETA which you can apply on line. In Tanzania you needs visa so if you have time go apply on line otherwise you can apply in the border. If you golf wa European passport it only cost $50 but if you have American passport it cost $100. If is best that you bring Kenyan shillings and Tanzanian shillings.Go see your doctor so that you can have all the necessary shots you needed. The very important one is the yellow fever shot. You need that yellow card when you enter Tanzania. Take Vit B as it helps as mosquito repellent too! Bring mosquito repellent as well it’s better to well prepared. It gets cold in Tanzania esp on your last night as you will be sleeping in a real tent with just a sleeping bag! Bring a beanie. Gloves and or hand warmers. I also brought with me a solar lamp , disposable hand towels and towels which you can buy from Amazon . There’s no towels provided on your last day so if you plan to shower you need to bring your own towel. I was glad I brought those disposable hand towels. It looks like tables that you put a few drops of water and it transforms into a hand towel. It’s very dusty during the safari and out really made my face feel itchy so wiping it with that wet towel helped a lot! Bring sunscreen! I also brought my water heater and some 3 in 1 coffee and tea bags and make my own cup of tea at night. Hot beverage are only available during breakfast and dinner and if you are like me who loves to drink coffee and tea in the middle of the night then this takes care of the problem. I denied picking up sea shells in Tanzania but unfortunately it got confiscated in the airport even though I out it in my check in luggage. So save yourself the trouble and don’t pick and bring home the shells! If you buy souvenirs in the Masai village it’s gonna cost you an arm and a leg. They will tell you that the money will be used by the village! A brass bracelet cost me $30 and later on I was in the souvenir shop in Kilimanjaro airport and that same bracelet only cost $8! If you buy it outside the village like while we were in Arusha it only cost $5! If money is not an object then go and buy in the Masai village otherwise buy it somewhere else. Don’t forget to bring even a small binocular.
The accommodation in Kenya was beyond my expectations! It was a tent but it has bed with mosquito net, big shower with hot water!, a sink and toilet! Bed was comfortable. Just a tip if your traveling solo when you go to your accommodation they might put you together with other people but you need to put your feet down and tell them that you were told that you will not share with other people or use the excuse that you snore🤣 and would not be fair for the person sharing your room! That should do the trick but if they still insist just call Charity and she’ll take care of it! Food was average… cooked same wherever you are. I tried buying some Pringle in the store as well and some cookies and for some reason it tasted different. So if you like snacks of chips and cookies I suggest bring done from your country if you luggage will allow it. Our driver was Moises and he is very knowledgeable and can spot animals from afar even while driving. The only thing we didn’t like was that when we were there during the protest we suggested for him to make sure that we’re have a full tank but he kept going and end up running out of gas in the middle of nowhere and the most of the gas stations were shut down. I did appreciate that he managed to find another way of getting the gas by paying people to get the gas and deliver it to us but that could have been avoided and saved as some time and anxiety.

Flexible and helpful
We did a slightly different tour than normal. We drove from Nairobi to Masai Mara and then flew to Amboselli.
Daisy organised a taxi to pick us up from the airport and take to our hotel, which was much welcome as we arrived very early morning. Also back to the airport at 3.30am. Included in the cost of our package.
On the first day in the Masai Mara we saw 4 of the big 5 and lots of other animals as well. Enjoyed a visit to a Masai village where we got to know a bit about the way they live. We were extremely lucky as we got to see a male lion take down a water buffalo. Unfortunately we didn't get to see a rhino but we were still very happy. We stayed at the Jambo Mara lodge. Staff there are very good, food was good. Make sure you take wam clothes. Gets chilly at night. My recommendation here would be to stay a few nights longer and stay in another camp on a different side to increase chances of seeing different animals.
Amboselli was a good way to finish as it is slower paced and more relaxed. The place we stayed at was a tented camp. But absolute luxury. Staff were next level good along with the food. Kibo lodge is close to the entrance at Amboselli so getting in early is easy. We loved Kibo lodge, highly recommended.
Thanks for a good holiday and we look forward to visiting again.

The best
An incredible agency, where they take care of all the details to make it an exceptional trip. Both Daisy, the contact person of the agency, who organized the trip, was attentive to us at all times, as well as Aaron our guide, who was a friend, an incredible teacher who made us see countless animals and took care of us every day. Without a doubt, a magnificent experience that we would repeat a thousand times with Supereagles.

Just book with Super Eagles, they’ll take care of you
We had no referral and booked with Super Eagles because the person we were in contact with, after sending our initial request (her name is Daisy), was very responsive and accommodating.
If you’re looking for an affordable yet reliable tour, we highly recommend Super Eagles. I promise they will take care of you and take the stress away from the planning process. The representative always responded promptly. Never once did we feel ignored, left hanging, or ripped off.
We decided on the 8 day tour. The pricing and routes were essentially the same for all the 8 Day tour companies here (at the budget level).
We are SO happy we booked with Super eagles.
During our safari we saw everything we came to see. Our driver (John) was determined to provide us a good experience. He would rush to sightings when he heard them on the radio and hustle to get you up close. We saw the big 5, wildebeest crossing the river, cheetah hunting a kill, and so so much more. It was one wild adventure.
Once booked, Daisy became our personal travel agent. She scheduled rides for us, booked our Kenya train tickets, and our plane ticket for a short trip to Diani beach after. She can even book hotels for you. You truly get an all-in-one package here, you just have to commit to them.
As for the safari, we were looking for the cheapest option for an 8 day tour. But going on a safari will never be “cheap” in terms of money spent.
Our safari was a shared tour and we stayed in camps (compounds) for 4 of the 7 nights.
If you’re coming from the USA, the accommodations will be below your standards. There’s no way around it. But they provide what you need. Some nights we had to ask them to stoke the fire so there was more hot water. All the staff are very accommodating, you just have to ask! Don’t ask super eagles, ask the staff at the hotel / camp.
Our tour went, more or less, exactly as the itinerary said. Two days were flipped because it made more sense logistically. No surprises. There are a few optional activities in Naivasha, but you really wouldn’t want to miss them, so plan to bring the cash for them (walk in sanctuary, hells gate bike ride).
Because our tour was shared, a few groups of people got on and off our van throughout our 8 days. If you do a shared tour, it’s normal to change drivers and be moved around. We were in a tricked out Toyota HiAce, not a Land Cruiser. At first we were concerned because it’s a highway passenger van, but let me tell you, it did not matter. Our driver knew how to drive it well.
The food provided, in our opinion, was great. It was all home cooked thanksgiving-style meals, served buffet style. Rice, beans, grilled chicken, lentils, potatoes, beef stew, soups, etc. A few days you eat a packed lunch out in the bush. These lunches were grilled chicken, banana, cucumber/tomato sandwich, muffin, orange, and a juice. So much food.
And remember, this is a safari. It’s not a luxury ride down a highway. The roads are bumpy and dusty. You are taking the greatest road trip of your life. But it’s a road trip so you spend all day inside a vehicle. If you’re prone to car sickness, prepare yourself.
Overall, and if you read this entire review, Super Eagles will take care of you. They are the real deal.

Quick response. Very welcoming and responsive. Plans were very well arranged.
We booked the trip very early with ballon safari. Our guide is Erasmos, also called rhino. He is really professional. We saw every kind of animals we wanted to see. And also well knowledgeable about the habit of animals. We learnt a lot through his introduction. He’s very responsive. There would be a demonstration on Tuesday. So considering our safety, we changed our plan and started our last day in Amboseli very early. We saw all what can be seen in the morning and had a very chill afternoon. And the weather wasn’t good, so we didn’t see the Kilimanjaro mountain at first. But luckily, we managed to see it late in the afternoon.
At our request, he took us out to experience local life. We had corn on the street. And shopped in a mall. That’s a wonderful evening.
I happened to meet some people with the same nationality at one of our campsite and they told me their guide was bad-tempered. But ours is really nice and always patient. They had to pay the guide more tip to stay longed in the parks. We were always the last car to leave any parks in Masai Mara, Nakuru or Amboseli.
Strongly recommended.

Great safari, good value for money
5 Day Budget Safari Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate Nationalpark
- Easy and fast communication
- Safe drivers an knowledgeable guides
- Simple but good accommodation
- Good and lots of food
In this price sector you will join other travelers in a van, so you will meet lots of new people and friends. Great if you are traveling solo. There are vehicles going between the parks every day and depending on your itinerary you may need to change vehicle sometimes. If you are looking for fancy accommodation and big 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser style vehicles you need to consider more expensive option. The animals you see are the same in the end ;)

Super Eagles: Well-organised, authentic safari adventures with great value and excellent service.
We recently completed a 10-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Super Eagles Travel and Tours, visiting incredible places like the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, and Amboseli. From the moment I first enquired, Daisy was incredibly responsive and helpful, making sure everything was perfect until our final day. A massive thanks to her for all her assistance!
The price for this tour is unmatched compared to other companies. Often, we were doing the exact same activities as those who booked with more expensive tour operators, making the value for money incredible.
The accommodation was basic but comfortable and good for the price. The hotels we stayed at were of standard tourist quality, and the permanent tented camp in Amboseli was very clean and spacious. We also enjoyed two nights of actual camping in Tanzania, which was a fun and unique experience.
On the tour, you change vehicles and groups regularly depending on your itinerary compared with others. We found everything to be organised really well. Occasionally, there was a bit of waiting around for other cars to pick us up, but it was all part of the adventure.
Overall, I loved this tour and would highly recommend using Super Eagles Travel and Tours over paying substantially more for essentially the same experience with the well-known international companies. Just a note: this type of tour is a proper adventure. If you prefer fancy hotels and nice amenities, this might not be the tour for you. But if you're looking for an authentic and well-organised safari adventure, this is the perfect choice.

Wonderful Safari and Private Coffee Tour in Kenya
I recently did a 3 day/2 night safari to Amboseli National Park from Nairobi with Super Eagles. From the start, the communication with Chanson was thorough and very prompt. The safari itself was fantastic - our driver, Evans, ensured a smooth and comfortable drive and made sure to stop whenever we spotted something interesting. We saw so many animals, including a group of lions hunting a wildebeest. The accommodation was basic but very comfortable, with good breakfast and dinner. I would definitely recommend this safari. I also asked Super Eagles to provide a quote for a coffee farm tour on the day that I checked out of my hotel, as they couldn't hold my bags for me and my flight was late in the evening. The driver, Moses, was there exactly on time and provided a lot of information on the way to the farm. I then got to spend a few hours at Fairview Coffee Estate on a really informative tour, and bought some delicious fresh Kenyan coffee. Moses then took me to a restaurant for lunch in the city, but unfortunately it was closed due to demonstrations that day. He promptly took me to the airport to ensure I would be able to find somewhere to have lunch and helped me to get my bags to the cafe. The company truly showed that they care about their clients. Thanks for a wonderful time in Kenya!
