The best experience from start to finish!
From the start of our holiday search we have had a great experience. Lisa and Nadine pointed us gently in the right direction for our specific needs and they were absolutely on the money and reassured us at every point. Once in South Africa it was fantastic to have communication with them, mainly to tell them how wonderful it was and to share photos but also to make transfers and timings etc easy to organise. Everything was smooth and our Safari experience in both Pilanesberg and Madikwe was absolutely perfect. We stayed at Lush Private Lodge and The Last Word respectively and both in different ways were sublime! We would definitely return to either place and if we do, we would not hesitate in contacting Lisa and Nadine to help us with our plans.
After our Safari we decided to fly to Cape Town where we had organised our own accommodation which was a mistake as it was substandard and we had a stressful time changing location. Lisa and Nadine were so kind and offered their support and help without hesitation and even came to our new accommodation with a bottle of wine for us!! Amazing and very sweet. We took the tour to Cape Point whilst we were there and to see the penguins which was well organised and a great way to see those iconic places.
All in all we were very happy with our choice to use African Family Safaris. We felt safe and relaxed and loved every moment. Thank you!

Solo traveller - experience of a lifetime!
I did a 3-night, 4-day safari with Baby Bird Safari as a female solo traveller, and honestly… it was unreal from start to finish.
From the very beginning, Chris was excellent with communication during the booking process; super clear, friendly, and professional. Payment was easy too: half deposit upfront, half cash on the first day, which felt very straightforward.
The trip itself felt like I’d visited three different countries in one safari. Amboseli National Park was absolutely unreal; the landscapes and wildlife were next-level and something I’ll never forget.
One of the biggest highlights was staying in Tsavo West, where the lodge actually left meat out for leopards. Watching them come so close in the wild was insane; something I never imagined experiencing like that.
The lodge in Ngutuni was outstanding and right next to a watering hole, so you could sit back and watch animals come and go. It felt peaceful, wild, and special all at once.
As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe the entire time. There was lots of laughter, cracking jokes, sharing music, and learning about different cultures; it felt relaxed, fun, and genuine.
Truly an unreal experience, and I’m so grateful for it.
Thank you so much, Baby Bird Safari. I’d recommend this tour to anyone without hesitation!

A fascinating trip that left a deep mark on my heart.
An unforgettable and fascinating trip in every possible sense
The trip organizer named Tsinani is charming and took care of everything we asked for and accompanied us faithfully throughout the trip, whether near or far.
The places were fascinating, from Addis Ababa, the colorful city along the spiritual Lalibela to the spectacular salt fields and the Denikal Desert
and the visit to the tribes in the Omo Valley on the Kenyan border
Thank you very much Tsinani, we loved you and the team
I recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Ethiopia

Trekking With Kili Team Adventures
Our family of four, parents in our late forties and two teenage boys, had an incredible experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on the 8 day Lemosho route with Kili Team Adventures. From the start, Moses guided us clearly on gear, rentals, and expectations. On the mountain, our guides Jabir and Steve were patient, knowledgeable, and motivating, while chef Booker and the porter team kept us well fed and comfortable. We loved learning about local culture, Swahili, and even helping collect trash along the route. Thanks to their support, all four of us reached the summit, a once in a lifetime family adventure we will never forget.

Simply the best wildlife spotter in Kenya
We did a 6-day group safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park and had a great experience. The parks were very different and all beautiful, with lots of wildlife.
Our guide Ken was excellent. He was very experienced and we were often the first at the best spots. He also informed us well about the next steps and offered optional activities like visiting a Maasai village, which was a nice addition. We didn’t visit the Maasai village ourselves, but one person from our group did and said it was worth doing.
Overall a very well organized safari and highly recommended.

A perfect tour guide James Gichina
Especially, our tour guide James Gichina is grate. He is very kind, friendly and has a good community so it was easy to find a lot of animals including BIG5. This was our first time to visit safari in Kenya, but we are very satisfied.

Overall a very good experience and an excellent guide. However, starting earlier and finishing later
Overall a very good experience. Our guide, James Gichina, was excellent: professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. The only suggestion for improvement would be for the agency to allow more time inside the parks by starting earlier and finishing later, as this would increase the chances of seeing more wildlife

Excellent experience
We were very pleased with our 3-day safari to Amboseli and Tsavo East. Our driver, Kitavi, picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and at the end of our trip he dropped us off in Diani where we are staying for the next week.
Kitavi was a very professional guide and did his best for us to see as many animals as possible. We saw a lot of different animals at a short distance at Tsavo East, including elephants and lions.
We were also happy with our stayovers at AA Lodge and The elephant lodge. 5/5 would recommend.

Once in a lifetime experience and absolutely worth it!!!
I booked it the evening before we left and it was no problem at all! I chose the 3 days Masai Mara, with two days in the park. I took the budget option and it was more than enough. The food was good as well, but everyday the same… Richie our guide tried his best to give us a great experience! We were way longer in the park than the description says. Of course it’s a lot of money, but a once in a lifetime experience and totally worth it!!! I would do it again and can only recommend it!
