10 day Kenya and Tanzania Safari
We really enjoyed our budget safari (6 days Kenya, 3 days Tanzania)and the communication and booking process from super eagles tours was awesome. They even looked into changing our itinerary mid trip. 5 stars for communication
Kenya:
Even though we booked a budget camping safari, the accommodation was really good. We were in a really large tent with a proper bed and private toilet and hot shower. There is not really much point booking anything above budget in Kenya, as you will only really get slightly better food.
For the first 3-4 days we had 8 people in our van even though our tour company promised maximum of 7 and other people in the van tour companies had promised 6. 8 was way too much as not everyone could stand up at one time to look out the top of the van. Everyone was staying at different places as well so with 8 people we spent a lot of time driving to drop all the people off at their accommodation. Sometimes this was up to 1 hour if they were staying in the parks.
There is a lot of driving in this safari, not only doing the safari but getting to the parks. There is more driving on the road than actually driving in the national parks. The tour companies could set it up so that driving is minimised as currently we go all the way down from Nairobi to the Tanzania border for the Masai Mara and then back up past Nairobi to Nakuru and only spent 2 hours safaring there, and then back down to Amboseli near the Tanzania border again. If they started going north of Nairobi to Nakuru first, then it would probably take out at least 1 whole day of driving and we could spend a lot more time at Nakuru as we felt we didn’t get enough time there.
Overall, The guides in Kenya were great and we saw lots of amazing animals. It was really fun, however the driving was getting to us in the middle of the trip and this could be avoided if it was set out better.
Tanzania
We opted for a ten day safari that covered both Kenya and Tanzania. We made this booking in a rush due to other plans falling through, we would probably book differently doing it again.
Since we are a young couple looking for an adventure, and not crazy about photography or animals, we would just do 6-7 day Kenyan safari and then head to Mombasa or Diana beach for few days at the beach. The Kenya side is a lot cheaper and this would take out a lot of driving.
For animal lovers, we would recommend adding on Tanzania, Tanzania is extremely good, It is Kenya on steroids. You see the same animals but just more of them. For example we saw a pride of 20-30 lions in the Serengeti and thousands of wilderbeest which you don’t get in Kenya. The downside is a lot more driving.
Tanzania
The Tanzania safari was great and the wildlife and scenery was next level amazing. We added Tanzania onto our Kenyan safari and spent 3 days on a safari tour.
We chose the budget safari and unlike Kenya the accommodation did reflect this. We were staying tents and had communal bathrooms which is fine for use but something to be aware of when booking. This also meant that the trucks were loaded with food and camping equipment which made it a bit crammed. Even though the facilities were basic the food was still amazing. Note that the chef also needs a tip which we did not know about. A generous tip for this is 10USD per person.
The safaris were awesome, but we felt we didn’t really have enough time to do the Serengeti well, but that is because it is so vast. Ngorongoro crater was amazing but likewise we only had a morning and it was cut short to get some people back to the airport.
For our trip the guide was below average and more of a driver than a guide. He didn’t really talk to us and only did very minimal talking on the safari. We would have liked him to talk about the animals and tell us facts and actually act interested. In Kenya it felt like a group hunt to find the animals which was fun, but in Tanzania is was more just drive and see what you see. The main thing that annoyed us about our guide is that in the last two hours of the trip he started being very friendly and even bought us red bananas, likely because he was about to receive a tip. When we finished we gave him our tip and he preceded to count it in front of us and then ask for more. This was very rude and in our opinion unacceptable, especially when our Kenya guides didn’t even look at the tip but just thanked us.
If there is a set amount to tip then the tour companies need to advise this and be reasonable. It is such a murky territory, and can easily ruin trips for people, when it’s not clear and people have paid thousands to be there.
Good communication. Smooth trip.
I booked a 7-day safari with Super Eagles. Good communication with Bildad who was very helpful and answered my questions. He arranged airport pickup and dropoff. While my flights were in the midnight time, this gave me a peace of mind. The trip was smooth. Thank you. Keep the good work.

Reliable and trustwhorthy
Our Kenya safari was a blast! Booking was a breeze—quick and hassle-free. They answered all questions immediately. We were picked up from the airport and after the safari tour, we were transported to train station puncutally. The price was right, and the accommodations were varied and comfy. Food was delicious. Shoutout to Brian, our amazing driver. He's not just a pro behind the wheel but also a wildlife guru. Had a ton of fun, learned a bunch, and highly recommend this safari for a fantastic, stress-free adventure!

Excellent organisation, contact and tour!
Super Eagles Travel and Tours always answer to my question in a few minutes! Booking was easy and safe. Everything was clear! They helped us to book a hotel in Nairobi and picked us from the airport one day before the safari.
Our tour guide was Braian. He is the best driver in Kenia. Also have good knowledge about animals and their spots.
We chose 7 day trip and our visit 4 National parks. We were able to see thousands of animals. Also the rare ones.
Camps and hotels were perfect. Some of them were exclusive and some have adventure climate.
Food was great, local specials.
The trip was safe. We were able to see the real Kenya, not only tourists places.

Wonderfull safari experience with Brian!
We went for a 7-day safari including masai Mara, lake nakuru, hell's Gate and amboseli. Wildlife in these national Parks is so abundant and thriving, that our expectations were far exceeded.
The communication before and during the trip was very clear.
All accomodations were good with nice food and situated close to the national Parks.
Special shout-out to our tour guide Brian. He's a lovely guy, knows so much about the animals and proved to be a excellent driver on sometimes difficult roads. We always felt safe in his hands.
Definitely recommend this tour company!

Everything has turned out great
We did the 8-day safari, with Masai Mara, Nakuru, Hells Gate and Amboseli and it was great. I recommend Super Eagles Tour, great professionals and very attentive in communication at all times, from when they picked us up until they dropped us off at the agreed point. Also highlight the great work of the guides Edouard and Brian.
Thank you for everything, I would repeat for sure.

We had our flight delayed and they sorted us out another group so that the rest of our plans wouldnt be cancelled. Our driver and tour guide MARTIN was the BEST we could get. Really professional, brillant driver and kind, if you have the luck to be with him you will be extremelly satisfied.
Value for money impossible to overcome.

The way Bildad communicated with us and handled the whole tour was remarkable.
We were very happy the way Bildad- our tour operator- handled the tour from the beginning till the end. He was very helpful, answered patiently all our questions, explained in detail everything we asked. He was also helpful during the tour whenever we called him to ask for his help. And most importantly transparent with payment. He was the main reason we chose Super Eagles for our safari. The safari itself was an unforgetable experience, we were taken to all the spots worth seeing in Kenya and Tanzania. Both countries are of incredible beauty and offer amazing views of planes, animals and people. We felt that our driver- guide could be more flexible when we both got sick to accommodate our needs. We also felt that he was stressed to keep a very strict time schedule even when all the people involved agreed to start the day 20 minutes later. He could also give us more information about the animals we were seeing other than the basics. We chose the 10 day safari to Kenya and Tanzania so we were many hours in a van or a jeep traveling from one place to the next and that was very tiring taking into account the bad condition of some parts of the roads. Overall an amazing trip which I would recommend to anyone who can afford to take it.

Efficient and smooth process
Super Eagles worked with us every step of the way to provide a smooth and glitch free travel experience. We were working with Charity to device the itinerary that would suit our need. We finalized on a Kenya + Tanzania package, that covered the highlights of both Masai Mara and Serengeti National parks.
They helped right from airport pick up on the first day, to the end of trip - all their accomodation options were excellent, and even the tents and eco camps thoroughly impressed us. Had hot water for shower everyday even in remote places. The food was excellent and they took special care to cater vegetarian food for us.
A special shout out to Simon, our guide through the Kenya national parks for 7 days - he is a skilled guide and helped us spot so many animals up close.
They also connected us with their Tanzania tour partners. Even the on road border crossing at Namanga was organized smoothly and efficiently between the two tour operators.
Finally, a huge shout out to Ms.Charity for meticulously arranging everything for us and for making this a memorable trip. She even arranged extra drinking water for all days. She also volunteered to take care of our luggage on the last day until our flight time.
Strongly recommend them for Kenya and Tanzania safaris. Their budget package is all you need to enjoy.
