Tanzania a trip of a lifetime. APS the Company and the People that ensure this is true.
We began the search for our African Adventure by browsing the wonderful website of Safari Bookings.
Thanks Safari Bookings for such a great resource.
Our "once in a lifetime" safari holiday to Tanzania started 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...

Excellent 9 Day Kenya Safari with Nkonge
We had a wonderful safari with African Paradise Safaris!
From the beginning, when we were still shopping around, John Peter was very responsive and helpful with getting our itinerary put together. I never had to wait long for answers to any questions that I had, and he was able to put together a great itinerary for us, at a very competitive price.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we were greeted by our guide, John (Nkonge). He was very friendly, and got us to our hotel safely, while explaining a little bit about Nairobi.
The next day we began our 9 day journey with John, and what a wonderful time it was! We went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. The entire time, Nkonge did everything in his power to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. He was never intrusive, making sure to give us space and privacy, yet whenever we needed him for something, he was always available, or just seemed to be there. The main focus of the trip, of course, was the game drives, and Nkonge was determined to make sure we saw a good amount of wildlife. We saw 4 of the big five (no leopards, but we did see cheetahs), and we were thrilled with every sighting.
The vehicle was comfortable and felt safe. There was always bottled water for us in the van. We felt very safe, and well cared for the entire time, and we really enjoyed our time with Nkonge.
I would definitely recommend African Paradise Safaris!

Best trip that was well planned and like a private tour!
This was a well organized and comprehensive tour that covered a range of national parks and reserves. It was always fun and informative with different and varied venues each day. John Peter was always attentive and answered every question almost immediately (and I had many questions) our guide/driver (John) became a friend and will miss him as he was awesome! This went beyond my expectations and I would recommend the tour and company highly to anyone. It was like being on a private tour with all the attention we received. Thank you for making it so special!

Great Safari. Excellent customer service from the beginning to the end of the trip.
We recently had our first Kenya adventure, which comprised of a five day safari and time in Elphant Orphan also Giraffe Orphan.We traveled with extended family and my 4 best friend. We were equally excited and apprehensive about our trip to Kenya, we had no experience of Kenya previously and weren’t sure what to expect.
African Paradise delivered an experience that far surpassed our expectations! John Peter attention to detail before we got there and during our stay meant we didn’t have to think about anything. he requested things for us that we hadn’t even thought we needed, he checked and double checked things were in place. The accommodation/transfers/safari intenery were all tailored made to meet our interests and wishes.
While on safari John and Jose were the most fantastic guides. They amazed us with there ability to spot things that seemed invisible to us. They picked up quickly what animals we loved and made sure to point them out. They also suggested a great variety of game drives which took us to a real selection of sights. We kind of followed their lead in terms of ideas of places to visit and I’m so glad we did.
The overriding thing that stuck us about both African Paradise and Kenya agenerall was how welcoming everyone was to us. He was like a superstar for the duration of the holiday, nothing was too much trouble and people were so welcoming and kind to him (and all of us). He, like us, had a holiday of a lifetime thanks to the efforts of African Paradise Safaris.

Unforgettable Masai Mara safari with John, our first class guide
We signed up for a four day safari including two days in the Masai Mara, and a day in Nakuru National Park and Lake Naivasha. We were lucky enough to witness the start of the animal migration North from the Tanzanian Serengeti to the Kenyan Masai Mara. We saw thousands strong herds of wildebeest and zebra crossing rivers and the Savannah. Also lions, a jaguar, elephants, water buffalo (that's 4 of the big 5), Thompson's gazelles, grand gazelles, eland antelopes, topi antelopes, impala, giraffes, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, ostriches, warthogs, a jackal, mongoose, vultures, a fishing eagle, and all this on the second day alone. We later saw five white Rhinos including a few months old calf in Nakuru. This concentration of animals all in one place felt truly remarkable, like being in a BBC documentary. I can't rate our guide John highly enough. It was his expert knowledge that enabled us to be exactly where we needed to be at exactly the right time. And the cost? An absolute bargain!

Amazing safari experience and excellent value for money.
We had an incredible trip with APS. We were able to see all of the big 5 (and plenty more) on our 4 day safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Communication from John Peter was great. He answered all of my questions much more quickly than the other tour operators that I was speaking with. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The accommodation they booked for us was comfortable and clean. Aside from all of this, it was also great value for money. It worked out to be about $50 cheaper per person than the other companies we were looking at. Definitely recommended.

Mombasa holiday and mida creep tour
I contacted African Paradise safaris on behalf of other 20 group members.
John organized a 5 days tour in watamu at temple point beach resort. And we managed to do mida creek and dolphin tour.
Everything was well organized and fairly priced.
