Very Professional
From the first email until good-byes at the airport, everything about Trevaron Tours was highly professional. Hannah at the office planned an itinerary around our personal interests and then met us upon arrival at the airport (11 PM on a Saturday night). She went with us in the transport to the hotel and made sure all our questions were answered. Next morning, our guide, Simon arrived in a well equipped Land Cruiser. Simon was friendly, capable and knowledgable. If we asked a question that he didn't know the answer to, he wasn't shy to say so - but then he would find out the answer. He drove carefully, was knowledgeable about the animals, birds, plants, geography, climate, history, and current affairs of Kenya. He also speaks 4 languages and was delightful company. The one minor problem that arose during the safari was quickly handled and sorted out. At the end of our 12 days, Hannah met us for a review. I wouldn't hesitate to use Trevaron again, and to recommend them to others.

A trip of a lifetime
This was our first time going on safari and we depended greatly on Natasha at Sun Safari for all of our accommodations, road transfers, tours and small aircraft reservations. The trip exceeded our highest expectations, with every lodge and hotel, tour guide and tracker, being outstanding, professional and of the highest quality. We had not a moment of stress despite having numerous arrangements in a country unknown to us. Natasha handled every detail with professional skill and we can recommend her highly.

Yes you can!
My girlfriend, 22, and I, 26, had a great experience with Back of Africa Adventure, from the very first day of our pick-up at the airport by the greatest guide you may find - Obama :) - until being dropped off again. All our questions in advance and in the Back of Africa office in Nairobi were handled with joy and professionalism by Allan.
We decided to go for a four-day safari, one to be spent in Nakuru NP and three in Masai Mara NP. On Day One, Obama picked us up at our place in the outskirts of Nairobi early in the morning to start the trip to Nakuru through the beautiful Rift Valley. Upon arrival in Nakuru, we had the opportunity to check into a very comfortable, spacious hotel where we had a great lunch and rest before embarking on our first game drive in Nakuru NP. Although it was raining, Obama made sure we had the most mesmerising time; we spotted many birds, gazelles, antilopes, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, baboons, and, the absolute highlight, four rhinos, both black and white rhinos. Obama taught us about the animals' lives with great expertise throughout all encounters.
In the morning of Day Two, we continued our journey in joyful mood to Masai Mara NP, only to find out that our Nakuru experience could be topped. We spent two nights in a lovely eco camp run by local Maasai right next to a river bordering the park. During three days of safari (afternoon drive - full-day game drive - morning drive), we saw the Big Five and many other species. It was clear that this was mostly thanks to Obama's great expertise and knowledge of the park - he knew every corner and road and, most importantly, where to find wildlife in its finest form. Apart from that, he also was the go-to-guy for the other safari operators. In Masai Mara NP, Obama was also very open to spontaneous rescheduling and gave his best for us to have an incredible time. During long hours in the car outside the nationalparks, he further discussed not only the animals and plants, but also football and Kenyan politics - he knows it all! On top of all, Obama and Allan together dropped us off at the airport in Nairobi, incl. a farewell drive alongside the Nairobi NP. Cristina and I couldn't have been in better hands and highly recommend this operator with their amazing staff to everyone interested in visiting Kenya. Special thanks to Allan and Obama!

For the third time with NHS, I enjoyed every moment and will plan to go back as often as I can!
From the moment I started to plan my (trips), Helen was helpful and available for assistance at all times. She has infinite patience for sorting through details. The whole time with the crew, each person makes every guest feel as if they are the most valuable one in the group, treating everyone with care and compassion. Throughout the ride, during challenging conditions and uncomfortable situations, Andrew and his team handle everything smoothly with unflaggingly, gentle humour. The care of the horses is excellent. It is comforting to me to know that their wellbeing is of primary consideration in difficult conditions. Each ride is different both in level of challenge and terrain. I've enjoyed all three very much and when asked could not choose a favourite. When asked to describe my experiences with NHS, I have difficulty articulating the scope of the experience. The time I have spent with these people and horses in this magnificent landscape have been the finest times in my life.

Family trip of a lifetime
From the first day planning our trip six mo. ago to the check in call during our trip, Justin was amazing to work with and and ensured every aspect of the trip was exceptional. Customizing our trip to include our areas of interest and the type of accommodations we requested instead of just a standard out of the box itinerary with a large group was a huge benefit of working with Justin. Our personnel tours, guides, and transfers were first rate and lodges/boutique inns were perfect. I would highly recommend Justin and Paperjet Travel!!

The treatment was ozom!!! The viewing Incredible!!
A guide who is extremely experienced and knows where the animals are and has a great interest in providing his costumer with the best experience. I recommend greatly Lion King Adventures. Besides the safari he helped to communicate with other providers, arrange for other activities at his own expense and went beyond whatever expectations I had of him. In short the best treatment-service Adventure!!
Thé safari was owesome

Perfect end to end customized service
I happened to be going to Nairobi-Naivasha for a conference and decided to do 10-12 days of safari after that. I'm so glad one of the first online sites I found was Chalo Africa. They helped me customize the trip to perfection, putting up with all my weird demands, got me the best deals as a solo-traveller and did all my bookings and sent me all my tickets, information packets, additional information, etc. - a lot of which I was not even expecting as a "service"! Tanvi was always available throughout this process on the phone, whatsapp - went out of her way to truly customize the trip for me and really made me feel special! The icing on the cake is that when I thought their duty was over and now I would be interacting with the local tour partners in Africa (Gamewatchers/ Asilia) .... Chalo Africa surprised me by creating a whatsapp group only for me and 3 of their people which I could use to ask any question at any point during my trip and one of them would always be there to respond! What service!! Truly exceeded my expectations on all counts!!

Best Safari Company Ever!
Migada can take you on an experience unlike any other! The drivers are very experienced and talented in knowing the best locations to find certain animals. They are very educated in animal knowledge and thoroughly answered any and all questions I had. Our driver, Laurence, is fluent in four languages and was the friendliest man. I named my pet fish after him! He taught us so much and was very patient and accommodating. I would recommend this organization above all! The owner is a very kind and generous man and all of the drivers are very dedicated and welcoming. Thank you, Migada, for such a fantastic time!
