5/5

Personalized service – 10 day Kenya Wildlife tour and Mombasa beach holiday
I contacted John Peter of African Paradise safaris when I had 25 passengers from Pakistan travelling to Kenya; I had to accompany my clients to Kenya as a tour leader. John Peter responds promptly to all my inquiries. He had everything organized and ready for our clients. During our visit to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Mombasa beach all people were very nice. Every client went home satisfied and happy for the work well done. The cost was very competitive as compared to other the companies. The Safari Guides were very informative and patients. As you know organizing and making all travellers so happy and jovial in a big group is very difficult African Paradise Safaris did it. Thank you African Paradise Safaris and your team.

A Wonderful Trip!
5/5

My family booked a 10 day trip (6 days safari in Tanzania and 4 days in zanzibar) with African Paradise Safaris.

John Peter who served us throughout booking was not only extremely efficient in communicating but also answered all of our questions and catered for the fine details/requests of our trip. It was a pleasure working with John Peter to organise the trip. He also provided recommendations on places to stay if anyone requires this service, however we had done our own research and he was happy to accommodate the places we had chosen in our package. I had received quotes from a number of companies but some operators were unable to adhere to certain requests. African Paradise were able to offer us the best package inclusive of everything.

The trip itself was excellent, especially the safari. Our driver Frank was a good guide and knew the national parks inside out and where to look for certain game. Where he could improve is being more efficient, for example in driving...I'm not sure if there was a problem with his car but he seemed a little slower than other vehicles.

Otherwise there are not many areas I can think of where African Paradise can improve on their service. I did see many open vehicles on safari which looked really nice so maybe this could be an option in the future, even though the closed vehicles are more than adequate.

Overall, we had a great time and I would highly recommend using African Paradise Safaris.

‘The safari experience was memorable!’ ‘Just spent the most amazing week on Safari with African Para
5/5

Well organised and the opportunity to see lots of different wildlife and scenery. Saw loads of lions, a leopard on day 1, cheetahs, chased by hippos, and the amazing migration which has to be seen to be believed. Special shout out to our guide Isa who was absolutely awesome. Nothing was too much trouble and he looked after us all so well and ensured we always got prime position for seeing all the animals. Would definitely do again and would insist on Isa as my guide!’

The Serengeti is worth every minute and Ngorongoro crater does not disappoint!
5/5

We loved our Tanzania tour! What an amazing experience and trip full of so much wildlife! I have been on safari in the Mara in Kenya and in Botswana and this was easily the best. The Serengeti did not disappoint; we saw four of the big five there and survived staying in our tented camp (which was really cool—and scary--to be so close to the animals). We ate lunch with giraffes one day and hippos another. Our guide Frank was very easy to get to know and incredibly knowledgable about the animal activity. We were also really impressed with Ngorongoro crater. It is amazing how many ecosystems are in such a close space. We were able to see rhino to round out the big five and even more of the wildlife that we’d seen before. We would recommend that you all put the amount of time spent in the car each day on the itinerary which would have helped us plan our flights a little bit better. Additionally, it was kind of confusing why the people we met directly never had the APS logo on their car or shirts; it worked out but just an area for improvement. The car was super comfortable and we always had plenty of water. On the way back to Arusha, we even got a remote shopping experience in a wood carving shop which was also really impressive. We would recommend Frank, Jacob, you and African Paradise Safaris to any and all. Thank you for a great holiday.

Great trip with great service
5/5

Our 14 days Kenya-Tanzania Safari Tour organized by African Paradise Safaris was great and unforgettable!
The itinerary prepared by John Peter for our family trip is so completed. We did enjoy very much!
We had the best guides and drivers: Isa and Salomon. They took care of us and handled everything with care. They are very professional.
They are the ambassadors of Kenya and Tanzania.
Isa and Salomon know all the parks by memory, they brought us to see every animal. We saw National Geographic for real during the game drives.
We recommend their service to everyone!

Beyond my wildest dreams!
5/5

What can I say other than John Peter is the very best! I typically do not work through tour agents but I was traveling solo and was needing extra support given all the options. Working with John Peter and African Paradise Safaris was the wisest and best decision I ever made! John Peter always got back to me with a day and went above and beyond to help me connect the dots on all my travel questions and concerns. I felt like I had a true friend supporting me and answering all my questions and providing realistic options based on my budget. So grateful, and can't say enough about the wonderful communications and how they far exceeded my expectations.

Very good tour operator
5/5


We had a fantastic time on our 12-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Everything was completely well organized, the accommodations were amazing and the driver guides tried to show us as much as possible during the game drives and, if possible, to respond to our requests. We would always book again with African Paradise Safaris and we can recommend this company to anyone who also wants to do a safari tour.

5/5

Hotels, stays were very good and well organized, food and service were perfect, the program was set up by ourselves&APS in advance. Our guide-driver, Issa was far the best we met. Good price and very good service. Masai Mara-Naivasha-Nakuru-Amboseli&beach in one program, the best ever. Thanks a lot!

Tanzania is a "once in a lifetime holiday" and the wonderful people at APS made that come true
5/5

We began our search for an African Adventure by scrolling through awesome information and advise on Safari Bookings website. A great place to begin. Thanks Safari Bookings.
Then our "once in a lifetime" safari holiday to Tanzania really began to come true the moment we contacted African Paradise Safaris (APS). John Peter gave exceptional help and advice as we put together our trip, with his help we were able to customize our holiday so that it was the right fit for our party of 4. After best part of a year in planning and numerous enjoyable emails back and forth with John Peter, it was a little disappointing to realise we would not meet this man who had put together a fantastic itinerary for us.
Thanks Heaps John Peter.
We were met a Kilimanjaro airport by our driver / guide David. A better guide we couldn't have hoped for. His passion, care & knowledge for the wildlife - his "eagle eye" for spotting animals hidden to our inexpert eye - his personality and sense of humour and his attention to all the little details of our trip meant we had a safari experience way beyond our expectations. A very special man.
Thanks Heaps David....
And last a MASSIVE thank you to the most amazing animals for just being you...
