a safari experience that deviated from the expected itinerary
I had booked a seven-day safari with Super Eagles, upgrading my accommodation for added comfort. Unfortunately, the journey didn't unfold as expected. Sharing a minibus with five strangers from different agencies was unexpected, and accommodation issues even led to a missed booking. The lodging arrangements didn't match the initial plan. Despite the prime wildlife viewing times being sunrise and sunset, our schedule rarely accommodated this. Additionally, the addition of two new travelers resulted in a shortened visit to Nakuru Park, allowing them to catch another minibus. Two new travelers joined later, forcing us to cut short our Nakuru Park visit so they could catch another minibus.

Not the best experience
We did 10 days safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania. The tour itself is provide by Super eagles travel and tours, but the part in Tanzania is provide by another company in our case it was 7 wonders.
The part in Kenya was good, nice guide he did his best to show us as much as he could during the safari, good accommodations, good food.
But the part in Tanzania was horrible.
- they forgot to pick us up on the first day in Tanzania, we were waiting for 3 hours at the reception, they didn’t let us know about departure day before we had to ask at the reception about departure, rest of the group had to wait for us whole day, it made them nervous and angry and because of that the atmosphere in the group wasn’t friendly everyone was complaining about something
- during safari our car broke down(what we understand, it can happen), and they were repairing the car for 3 hours, they found three different problem with the car which had to be fixed and we don’t think so all of them happened in the same moment it means there is a lack of car maintenance, instead of repairing the car for long time they should solve the situation by another vehicle and tour should continue by the schedule, due to delay our way to campsite was during the dark and we came to camp at 10pm, we didn’t eat for 9 hours,
- on every stop like entrance to the parks and so on, we waited for sooooo long everywhere compare to other cars
- our guide didn’t even have a radio to communicate with other guide in national park, due to that we didn’t see what we could
We recommend super eagles travel and tour, but just the tours provide only by them.

Amazing Safari but Poor Management in Tanzania
The complete experience is amazing but the organization in Kenya and Tanzania are really different.
Kenya: everything was really good. Daisy was really nice and careful from the day of the booking in January. Our guides (Derrick and Richard) were really nice and prepared. The camp sites and hotels are low budget but clean and functional. Maybe sometime there is too much hurry during the game drives and the customers are not really warned about the fact that if you don't choose to make the optional visit (as Lake Naivasha boat trip) you have to wait in the car. Total: 4.5/5 stars!
Tanzania: Super Eagles Tours doesn't manage the tour and gives the organization of everything to Seven Wonder Safari. Almost a complete failure. At Namanga border you need to wait (at least 1 or 2 hours) that a certain guy lets you get on the bus to Arusha (you can leave just when the bus is full of people) without any explanation. Our plan was almost totally changed: DAY 1 --> it was scheduled evening game drive safari (at least 3 hours) but instead there was an eternal and uncomfortable (9 ppl total in a van with 8 seats) journey to Serengeti (arrived at the entrance at 16.30) because of several and useless stop in gift shops along the road with a 2 hours rush to the campsite and some stop to watch animals. DAY 2 --> the optional Olduvai Gorge stop was removed and replaced with a Maasai village visit and the people that were not interested had to wait in the car. DAY 3 --> the scheduled plan was at least 6 hours game drive with packed lunch inside the Ngorongoro crater but our experience was entrance in the park at 8.30 and at 12.15 back at the camp site to have lunch. The game drive was done without any radio (the driver couldn't know if there were specific animals in specific part of the crater) for just 2 hours and half, with a very long stop for coffee and rest. Such a shame for one of the most wonderful places on Earth. Besides they probably should inform better the costumers about the fact that customers will camp in tent in public camp sites. The guides were nice and the food really good but the change of the plan really disappointing. Total: 2/5
We booked all the trip with Super Eagles so they need to be responsible for all the journey, Tanzania included. The experience was really amazing but the Tanzanian organization very disappointing.

Budget tour
11-18 Aug (8 day Adventure budget group sharing tour)
Owner Mr Richard is available to troubleshoot problems. Hospitality was ok.
Pricing - Budget, reasonable (cutting corners is visible)
Travel - Very bad. They changed vehicles and drivers everyday. The condition of vehicles was very old and shattered. Great to get bodyaches.
The drivers were not punctual. On 1st day masai Mara we got only 90 min of Safari. 2nd day driver started 1 hour late and exited the park 2 hrs early. The drivers took park entry tickets but never showed us. The way they did it, seemed fishy.
Stay
Masai Mara - Lenchada tents - stay is ok, food is ok
Nakuru - Hotel Hill Court- very good
Naivasha - Hotel Leisure Apex - Good
Amboseli - Nyati Safari camp - Very good
Despite assuring water on all 8 days, they provided water only on day1 and 2. We had to buy over priced water from the accommodation premises.

Not bad, but can improve
Here is the review of our 7 day safari tour with Super Eagles
1. Communication
- Charity was very helpful both before and after the tour. She managed to answer all questions I had regarding the tour and was very accommodating for every request. We had to modify our tour plans several times before departure but it was arranged with no difficulty.
2. Driver
- Our driver John was one of the best driver I've met in Kenya. He drove safely from one location to another. He also helped our team find lost bag on the way.
3. Overall organization
- Unfortunately, overall organization of the tour did not meet our expectation. Here are the reasons
: We booked for a private tour and paid extra money. But it was only on the departure day that we realized they put us with 2 other strangers in a small tour van. We complained but the operator initially tried to put us with them and refund the extra money instead of arranging a private tour for us. We insisted and was put on a private tour at the end though it delayed 1 or 2 hours.
: We were also told on our departure day that the hot air balloon tour which we were supposed to do was not confirmed. I had hard time understanding the situation, for we booked the tour few months in advance which gave operator enough time.
: It was only when we arrived at Amboseli National Park that the accommodation we were supposed to be at was overbooked and that we had to be relocated to a different hotel in town, which was about half an hour away. It could have been communicated earlier. Also the new inn the operator tried to put us in was completely different from what we expected. We insisted to go for another one and was arranged accordingly.
4. Conclusion
- This was a budget safari. If we were to expect a perfect tour, we should have go for luxury so I think it was of good value for money.
- However, there are always rooms for improvement. I sincerely wish that these reviews be taken into consideration so that the operator provide more pleasant, memorable safaris in the future.
