KIRICHE safaris met all of their commitments during our Safari Trip
The safari was the trip of a lifetime. We saw fantastic scenery and wildlife, including all the major species. Our guide Francis showed tremendous knowledge of the landscape and animals. He is also very knowledgeable of birding which delighted my birder partner. The KIRICHE luxury lodges were of outstanding quality and comfort. We visited 4 national parks in 5 days. KIRICHE was very helpful with our transfers from Kenya to Tanzania.

Great trip!
Willy was a great guide! He gave us a very fair rate of 24000 for his services to take us around Nairobi national park, and was able to use his experience to make sure we saw all the different animals there! It is hard to control all the factors of safari but finding a guide that can think quickly of different plans to give you a phenomenal experience is the most imprtant and Willy was able to do this!

Not a normal Safari experience
I had an amazing 7/8-day safari with Serengeti Smile and can highly recommend them!
I booked the trip quite last minute, but they still managed to organize everything perfectly and make the whole safari possible. All of my wishes were taken into consideration and fulfilled, and the communication from the beginning was very easy, friendly, and reliable.
A very special thank you to my driver and guide, Gama, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire trip. He took such good care of me, was always helpful, patient, friendly, and did everything he could to make sure I had the best possible experience. I was traveling alone, and I always felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
What I especially loved about this trip was that it was not only about seeing so many incredible animals and learning more about them. I also had the chance to experience more of the local way of life and culture, meet kind and welcoming people, and enjoy very good food along the way. That made the whole journey feel much richer and more meaningful.
From airport transfers to the safari itself, the accommodation, meals, and all the organization in between, everything went smoothly. Everyone I met from the Serengeti Smile team was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience, and I am very grateful to Serengeti Smile and especially to Gama for making this trip so special. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

An Unforgettable Masai Mara Experience ❤️
Our experience with Shades of Africa Safaris in the Masai Mara was honestly something very special. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and looked after. Everything was organised so well, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy every moment.
The Masai Mara was absolutely breathtaking. Seeing the animals in their natural surroundings, watching the sunrise over the Mara, and being surrounded by such incredible scenery are memories that will stay with us forever.
Our guide made the experience even more personal. He was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he always took the time to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and getting the most from every game drive.
We went to the Masai Mara hoping for an unforgettable adventure, and that is exactly what we got. We came home with amazing memories, so many photographs, and a little piece of Africa in our hearts.
Thank you to the whole team at Shades of Africa Safaris for making our Masai Mara experience so wonderful. We would absolutely love to come back one day! 🇰🇪❤️

Superior Experience in Tanzania’s and Kenya’s Great Parks
Anything can happen on a safari. Our first guide, Ebe, guided our group of five through Mynyara NP,and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. He willingly shared his knowledge of the animals and the geology, and had an amazing sense of humor. Our Land Rover was charged by a male water buffalo and Ebe skillfully drove us away from harm’s way. We saw a phenomenal crossing of wildebeests and zebras. He made two game drives a day truly memorable events.
Emanuel welcomes us with champagne before we explored Serengeti NP. By then we had seen four of the Big 5. His job was to locate a leopard for us. We were successful and even spent an hour watching female lions prepare for, but not execute a kill.
Our third game driver, Jackson, a Masai, guided us across the dirt roads and faint paths of the savanna. How he managed to find his way amazed us daily. He fully understood the Masai Mara NP and showed us the best of it!
All safari visitors should prepare for rough rides on dirt roads with many crevices. Dust is as abundant as the animals. Wearing a gator across your face is advisable.
Ranger Safaris’ guides enhanced our experiences daily. Excellent value.

Simbaland magic tour safari was everything i expected and more!
Simbaland magic tour safari was off the chain!!! I had an awesome time! Serengeti and ngorongoro was magical. We had an amazing and friendly tour guide who showed us around and introduced us to all the animals and their stories. The safari was very social and were introduced to the other guests which made the tour very interactive and social. David was also great. He picked us up, checked in on us, and dropped us off after the trip. He made sure that we were taken care of throughout the trip, end to end.

Camptrek was easy to work with, attentive to our needs, and totally professional.
We found Camptrek through Safari Bookings and began a correspondence with Margaret. She was the best customer service representative imaginable. She listened to us and customized our trip accordingly. Our safari experience was all about the animals... and they were truly amazing! We visited the Masai Mara in Kenya, then flew to the Serengeti. We also visited Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. We're an older couple and concentrated our experience on game drives. Our guide in Kenya, Brandon, was outstanding. His communication skills and sense of humor were top notch. We learned so much about the wildlife from him and had a great time doing it. Our guide/driver in Tanzania was also easy to hang out with, took good care of us, and even found us some rhinos -- the only animals from the Big 5 we hadn't seen yet. The 4 star rating instead of 5 is because some of our accommodations did not exactly live up to our expectations from a previous trip we took to Kruger in South Africa. We had chosen mainly bush tent camps and they were a bit rustic for us. However, all the staff were attentive and the food generous. Our trip was during the dry season and the rough unpaved roads gave us an "African massage" everyday, but the reward was seeing the incredible wildlife. Africa is a Feeling with Camptrek Safaris.
