Amazing 13 days Kenya/Tanzania safari trip of a lifetime
I joined this Africa Safari trip organized by a friend of mine. Without being personally involve in the trip planning, I would say my overall experience was excellent.
My friend said she compared several well known East Africa safari companies and indicated APS was the most responsive, accommodating and flexible, that’s why she chose to go with the company for our 12 people group.
Our drivers/guides were very accommodating and experienced. We went from Nairobi to lake Naivasha, Nakuru, Masai Mara. Our driver John navigated the bumpy dirt / gravel roads like a pro. I felt very safe in all the rides despite the challenging road conditions. He was very patient and caring with all the passengers in the car as some asked to stop MANY TIMES to take pictures of the animals. Then we crossed the border to Tanzania Serengeti, Ngorongoro conservation area, olduvai gorge, the crater, manyara lake, Amboseli… etc. We even made a last minute itenerary change to visit Nairobi national park. John Peter made it all happen. All the hotels bookings, transfers, border crossing, drivers change… went smoothly. It’s is amazing that all could go so smoothly in a 13 day safari trip covering 2 countries with 12 people. APS is truly an experienced and knowledgeable safari company we can count on. We saw the big 5, beautiful birds, trees … the guides were able to answer all questions about the species and local cultures. We felt very cared for and comfortable experiencing the best wildlife and culture Kenya and Tanzania have to offer.
All in all I highly recommend APS for all my friends who want to experience a trip of a lifetime. I hope this trip would be the first safari trip and I look forward to many trips to the safari with APS.

13 days Kenya Tanzania safari migration trip
African Paradise Safari is the most reliable and flexible safari company. John peters is the most responsive, kind, flexible professional. He helped us to design personal tour for us 12 people and provided valuable advice. Upon our first day arrival, they gave each one of us warm welcome gifts - a big bunch of rose and hoodies & sweatshirts . That warmed each of our hearts. They also surprised us with holding a safari party for us at one evening time. We were enjoying the wine and watching the sunset with giraffe, elephants and all other animals surrounding us. What’s a pleasant experience ! John and Edwin, our tour divers in Kenya, is very enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable. Juma, tour driver in Tanzania, is also very accommodating and friendly. They all explained us animal name and habits details, patiently stoped many scenic spots per our request and helped us cross the border between Tanzania and Kenya smoothly. The company has good communication. They responded our every single question quickly. Best of all is that we saw Wildebeest Migration several times. Last day we would like to visit Nairobi NP which is not included in our tour package. John peters the boss offered us for free. APS is one of most experienced and trustworthy company, is strongly recommended.

Excellent. I went on a private 12 safari. I would recommend staying in the park.
My sister and I picked 5 national parks and resorts in the parks. This is very important to save time and maximize longer drives on your safari outings. We saw so many lions, approximately 100, cheetahs and cubs, leopards, rhino and the great wilderbeest migration! Our driver Lawrence was very accommodating and wanted to please us.

Memorable Tanzania and Kenya trip

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
We did the 10-day safari between Kenya and Tanzania with African Paradise Safari. Totally recommended. We did a group safari, which made the price of the safari much cheaper and we always went with a driver from the moment we started in Kenya until our last day in Tanzania when they dropped us off at the airport. Being a group safari you also have to adapt a little to the rest, so the itinerary may change a little although you end up seeing the same parks, the only thing that is the same in a different order. In Kenya the accommodation is much better than in Tanzania (I would recommend asking exactly where it is each night and with what amenities to know in advance). Communication with John Peter has been excellent, resolving all the doubts we had. At the time of paying we made a payment at the beginning and then they accepted cash in Nairobi (they also accepted euros, which if you are traveling from Europe is good for you so you don't have to change currency). All in all, a very positive experience with African Paradise Safari, I would recommend doing the Safari with them.

Excellent Safari Trip
We had our first ever Safari trip to Kenya between August 31 and Sept 8. African Paradise Safaris hosted our trip and made it unforgettable. John of APS was reachable by email and WhatsApp. He was very flexible with the itinerary and offered good payment terms and conditions, which made us decide to go with APS. Whenever we had request, he would say NO PROBLEM and accommodate.
We had an excellent guide, Joseph, who is attentive and thoughtful. His explanation of wild animals made this trip a learning opportunity. His driving skill was amazing and made each game drive not only safe but exciting. Joseph also helped other drivers when their vehicles were got in trouble. We saw all of Big Five multiple times during this trip, which made our trip unforgettable.

Excellent overall
Excellent safari overall, had a great driver, saw a brilliant variety of animals and the accommodation was overall not too bad. One down side was there was a lot of driving overall, day three particularly, once you've visited the Masai is basically all driving. However, overall you will not find better for this kind of money.

Amazing
Highly recommended! We enjoyed every second of our six days private safari. Our driver, Jackson, went above and beyond. He has extensive knowledge of the parks and the animals that roam there. Thanks to his efforts and driving skills, we’ve seen the big five! We will remember our time with him fondly.
We also have to thank John, the person responsible for organising our safari. He prepared an incredibly structured and scheduled tour that fit our budget and needs perfectly. You can’t go wrong with choosing their tour! Thank you both for everything!
