A fantastic trip to Northern Tanzania
Mo and his team at Mega Adventures were really accommodating. Having travelled though East Africa a lot with work over the past few years, it was a pleasure to be introduced to this company. I travelled through the Northern Highlands with the team and all I can say is, great food, great guide, great experience. Would recommend Mega Adventures to friends and family in the future. Very well organised, nothing was too much trouble. The team looked after me and my friends the whole time and we left relaxed and happy. Brilliant value for money too for such a high quality experience. Cheers guys!

Fantastic safari trip, Big five, River Crossing... Thank you Anthony for bringing us all pearls
My wife and I had 8 days safari trip in Kenya. We had an unforgettable experience in Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha
Thanks Otieno (owner of KWSS) for effective back and forth emails before our trip and gave us ideas and suggestion on tailoring our program. The accommodation selection is just terrific. Lodge in Samburu is located by the riverside. The sunrise is so romantic, and the staff service and foods there is outstanding. Cottage in Masai Mara AA Lodge is another kind of experience, the galaxy at night is awesome when the sky is clear. We spent our last night by the lake at Camp Carnelleys, it was just so relaxing. And the foods served by the Bar are awesome.
It was great to have Anthony Kioko being our professional driver and also the guide. His driving skill, wildlife knowledge, sharp vision and accurate estimations made our every game drive full of fun and surprises.
We are so lucky to see the Big Five in Samburu and also the other Big Five again in Masai Mara. The highlight is the river crossing at the Mara River. Although the group is not that big, just around 3-400 of wildebeests and zebras, it just made our dreams come true. (Please give a big hand to Anthony, I would highly recommend him if you are going to join KWSS)
Besides game drive, the boat safari at Lake Naivasha and walking safari in Green Crater Lake are another kind of adventure in Kenya. We are so happy to have such experience before leaving Kenya.
All in all, we will definitely go again after 1 or 2 years. We have started to miss this paradise when we back to town.

Safari Kruger and Mohlabetsi Game reserve
There were two of us, a couple, and we lived a great experience with combination of visits inside Kruger N.P. and game reserve.
We have seen Big 5 (2 times each one), Impalas, Eagles, hippos,Giraffes, Ienas...and Cheetah too. finally even 6 weeks lions cubs.
Our Guide Sue Wilson has been fantastic, friendly, enthusiastic, expert, in actual fact we have seen our first leopard thanks to her knowledge, hearing impalas yelling near a river, she supposed that a predator would been there...she was right, we chased him and after few minutes...a leopard was there, 20 meters far from us,
amazing.
Mohlabetsi is a great lodge too, comfortable and with a lot of animals that you can see sometimes even closer than in Kruger...but have a sigthseen in Kruger N.P. seems more "real" and "natural". I suggest combination of N.P. with a guide + game reserve if you have 3-4 Days as well us.

Excursion to Abadares National Park
We had a wonderful weekend at Aberdares National Park, saw various wildlife and above all visited Zaina falls. What enthralled was giant hogs, I’ve never seen such animals before. I will like to give thanks to Elisha, our tour guide, he has a rich knowledge of the park’s flora and fauna. Truly it was a weekend well spent.

Kruger Park 5 Day package
Very well organised with excellent service. Some areas of minor improvements would be the food catering in Kruger which can be a bit on the frugal side. But apart from that we had a wonderful time and the rangers were very good. We will use them again.
Sammy Lema - a true ambassador for his country
ln April this year, my husband and I and two friends decided to take a short holiday and opted for
Tanzania.
Since our time was restricted, we had to shortlist our points of interests and eventually spent half
the time on the mainland in parks.
Sammy was our tour guide during our exploration of the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake
Manyara National Parks.
We could not have wished for a better guide. Sammy really is a very knowledgeable and skilled
guide. He is also very flexible and accommodating and managed to very efficiently shuffle our
programme around to ensure we have the best experience ever.
During the four days, we also experienced his extensive knowledge of culture, history, nature and
also his passion for his job. He really spoilt us with his willingness and dedication to go the extra mile
to address and attend to our specific wishes. One does not always experience this level of sensitivity
towards the wishes and needs of the tourist.
He is an excellent guide and we can recommend any potential traveller to make use of his services.
lf we could, we would have taken him with us on our onward journey to Zanzibar.

Excellent, personalized service from start to finish
My fiancé and I took 5 day tour through 3 Kenyan parks - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The Arch Treks team met us at our Nairobi hotel and we were off. Our driver/guide Ken was wonderful. He pointed out interesting sites along the drive, and his skills and talents at finding wildlife while on safari was outstanding. He repeatedly found animals both large and small and we were able to enjoy their magnificence for a long time before other tours descended on us. We saw all of the Big Five on the trip. We also loved the accommodations. All of the tented camps were what we expected, and we enjoyed meeting the staff who were all pleasant and full of energy. We wholeheartedly recommend Arch Treks and Safaris.

Personalised tour through Etosha, Caprivi, Chobe and Victoria Falls
We wanted a small group personalised tour to see the wildlife in Namibia as we had not been to Africa previously. After finding Nature Travel Namibia on the internet and emailing Nick we started the ball rolling to find out what he could do for us.
Nick was very responsive and professional in his email dealings and upgraded some of the accommodation and tour itinerary for us to start our 10 night tour leaving Windhoek to Etosha NP (4 nights across 3 lodges), then to Okavango River (2 nights), Kwando River/Bwabwata NP (1 night), Chobe NP Botswana (2 nights) and concluding at Victoria Falls(1 night).
All lodge accommodation and meals were of a high standard, but the real highlight was the fact we were on a "personal" tour with Nick, with ourselves and only one other couple, Colin & Jane from the U.K. Our guide Nick Buys shared his passion for his native country Namibia and with a background as a qualified vet, he has amazing knowledge of the wildlife and the country. Each day we did either 2 wildlife drives or a combination of drive and river boat safaris. Nick has a sharp eye for picking out wildlife and was able to spot some of the
incredible animals in the wild bush and navigate for us to get very close for some wonderful observations and pictures/film. I started a list of what we saw but gave it away after recording 30 animals and 40 bird varieties as it could have gone on forever.
We had started our trip planning thinking we might self-drive Namibia, but we're glad we decided to go with Nature Travel Namibia as Nick took all the stress out by organising "everything" and there is no way we would have seen as much, particularly the animals, if we had gone with a self-drive.
We can highly recommend the services of Nature Travel Namibia and we would definitely go with them again if we come back to do another wildlife tour.

Amazing experience
I booked my trip online off course I was little scared how it's going to be but everything turned out amazing!
James is very professional and the same time so friendly. He treated us like we've been friends forever...
He is able to answer every questions even more than we have known to ask, he informed us briefly.
He was very careful about what we told him, what we are expecting to see, he gave us our dream come true. I fell in love with Tanzania in 4 days and now dreaming going back for more days.
