Excellent help was given on this safari... very happy
We had only been to Uganda before to visit the Gorillas so this was our first animal experience anywhere else. We are birders as well as being interested in the animals you may see.
For 4 days we had a private camping safari in the Delta area and then we were met and flown to our first of 3 lodges. I would say that our experiences were just wonderful and we got very good advice from Dee at the Safari Lifestyles office.
We are very particular about what we do and we did send them many emails and all of them where answered within 24 hours. We would recommend them as a very good company to use for your holiday.

Nice experience
I was on a business trip in Nairobi and contacted them after deciding that I would try to stay over for the weekend for a short Safari. The good reviews I could find here were key to pic “simba paka safaris” as a choice and it was a very good choice indeed.
I got all the information I requested and arranged the trip based on my needs. They offered me what was more suitable for the time I had in Kenya and my interests. Very personal and friendly contact at all times.
The experience was really good. Driver/guide was very nice and professional. He tried his best to make the experience enjoyable and although a couple of times we were already back to the lodge he turned back to spot more animals (a rhino which is actually difficult to spot).
The lodge included in the package for the overnight stay was great and people there very nice and friendly.
I can only have good feedback for this experience. The only downside is that it is a bit short, if you have the time I recommend you to go for a longer trip. But if you're limited in time as I was and want to enjoy Masai Mara as much as possible this trip is perfect and will fulfill your expectations.
Thanks simba paka safaris for everything

Excellent service and safari experience with KET
We had such an amazing experience with KET. From day 1, communications with Paul was smooth, easy. He was quick to respond to my 101 questions, and was very thorough. Our driver/guide was Daniel and he was incredible! He worked so hard to track down the animals for us. He was so kind and friendly, and really made the trip even more enjoyable than it already was. We stayed at Mara Sarova and it was absolutely perfect-- well located, great nightly entertainment, beautiful accommodations, super safe and the most delicious food I've ever had (I still dream about it). The safari will go down as one of the greatest experiences of my life and I'm really happy with the service that we received from KET. Highly recommended

Review about Nxai Pan National Park by Horst M. Vogel
Gosh, we enjoyed this park too with elephants at the campsite and a leopard sitting on top of a termite mound. It's remote and that's what makes it very beautiful indeed ... provided you love solitude. Nxai Pan was also once our springboard for an adventureous trip along the historic cattle trail all the way up north to Pandamatenga. Afterwards, our radiator needed a thorough cleaning from seeds though.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by Horst M. Vogel
Again, the Moremi GR is another pearl in the string of Botswana's game reserves and national parks. Don't miss it!

Review about Mokolodi Nature Reserve by Horst M. Vogel
Mokolodi is a little gem, in particular if you wish to see rhinos. And, I also loved to stay in their lodges.

Review about Mashatu Game Reserve by Horst M. Vogel
Mashatu is a sure place to see leopards. No where did I see so many leopards in a short period of time.

Review about Makgadikgadi Pans National Park by Horst M. Vogel
Let me state at this point that all the parks and reserves in Botswana are awesome. Yes, they differ in scenery and wildlife composition but their uniqueness is always nature and wildlife pure. If you got a chance to visit several parks, then just do so but choose the time of the year carefully. Because, the Makgadikgadi Pans are very treacherous during the rainy season!
