Great Tour
15 Days Best of Kenya & Tanzania Safari
This was a wonderful trip with sighting of so many animals that we were continually amazed at the variety. This safari allowed us to get very close to the animals which was very special. I will treasure the viewing of so many lions that we saw on nearly every day of the safari.
The three main guides we had all incredibly knowable on all the wildlife and fauna. This enabled us to enjoy the spectacle of this tour even more. Having the guides assist us with the border crossing was a big help.
The accommodation was of a great standard. Even the tents we stayed in were very comfortable with all amenities. The camp staff who provided escorts back to our tent added a level of added safety. The only exception was the hotel in Nairobi which had a mattress that resembled a hammock
Food at all the camps and hotels was both plentiful and varied. The offerings were mainly buffets with only the camp in Masai Mara offering a choice at mealtimes.
The only disappointment in the whole trip was missing the great migration due to abnormal weather conditions.
Communication with Kenya Tanzania Safaris was at times a little patchy and could be improved.
A Memorable Trip to Kenya and Tanzania
Nico from Destination Consultants was very helpful and patient when arranging our trip to Kenya and Tanzania. We opted for a 12 day private guided tour whereby we had three different tour guides in that time. The first vehicle we travelled in from Nairobi from Tanzania was not great as the seats were so high and the windows were low so it was not great for motion sickness however the driver allowed me to sit in the front seat which was fine, the vehicle we had on our second leg was a proper safari vehicle which was great. The itinerary suggested was quite good although could have left out Lake Navaisha which had a few hand fed hippos out the back and that was it, so our time could have been better spent elsewhere. The accommodation overall was excellent except for Tukaone Camps in Serengeti which was below average. The camp itself was on a lean, the food was average and we did not have hot water until the day before we left. What made it more disappointing was that this camp was not where we were supposed to stay as I had requested to stay at another camp. Before undertaking this tour, we did a 16 day group tour through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana which we did a variety a of activities such as hiking, canoeing into the delta and Safari drives. This particular tour only had safari drives for its activities which is perfect if it was the only place you were going in Africa but for us, we found the safaris became repetitious towards the end of the trip.

We enjoyed really a lot our safari in Kenya and Tanzania with The Destination Consultants
Now having returned to Colombia, we would like to say that we had a wonderful and beautiful time in Kenya and Tanzania. Thanks to Niko and Susan for their welcome, kindness and the excellent organization for the 9 days we had in total in the two countries.
We also apreciate a lot Ray ( Raymond ), our Guide in Tanzania . We can deeply recommand The Destination Consultants. They deserve it all.
It was a great pleasure to have been hosted there and shown the beautiful landscape and wildlife of enchanting Africa.
We went back to Colombia and Brasil with nostalgy but with plenty of photographs of this memorable safari . We are sure to return in the future. We have made good friends in Kenya and Tanzania and, we are convinced we can count on them when needed.
We let part of our souls and hearts there.
We wish Niko and Susan the very best for their entreprise full of adventures .
Hugs from South America .
