Best experience ever! Best safari tour!
We had the most amazing 5 days safari visiting Masai mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. Arch Trecs and Safari gave us a warm welcome to Kenya. Before going to Kenya we red about places which are the best to visit but James gave us very good and useful suggestions regarding out tour. He always was in contact with us and quick with email replies. He made our 5 days trip plan better than any other company. I loved Masai mara and Sarova where we stayed and of course both lakes are worth to see. We had the best safari driver William. We managed to see big 5. He is very experienced and told us a lot about Kenya, wild life and exotic birds. With Arch Trecs we felt more like a tour with our friends. Will recommend them 100% and we hope to come back to Kenya soon to see migration. We will definitely come back to Arch Trecs and Safaris and already told to all our friends. Thank you for such a great tour and experience!

Jose is a great at showing off his love for nature and his passion for wildlife.
I actually first met Jose on a bus from Arusha going to Nairobi. We started chatting and I realised that I had found a new friend! At the time Jose was working for another operator in Arusha. He is passionate about his country and the wildlife and very knowledgeable about where to go and when is best. We talked about all sorts of things but it became clear that conservation is his main goal. Running safari's in a conscientious way is the best way forward to help that goal. Over the last 5 years we have stayed in contact and now, finally Jose has started his own business. If you want to experience Kenya and Tanzania with a local who has been to all the wildlife parks and knows his game then you will be in safe hands. There are many operators out there but choosing Jose Kim Safari's will be a great way to have a personal trip with a trustworthy guy.
My family is originally from Kenya and I have been on many safari's having grown up in South Africa and Botswana. I would love to go on a Safari with Jose! I am sure it will happen some day soon.

Great trip by Safari Lifestyles
Our children are awkward ages and we struggled to get what we wanted in South Africa initially but then came across Safari Lifestyles who recommended a few options for Botswana which we initially thought we couldn't get to.
Lodges were out of our reach for 5 of us but Roger organised a private mobile safari for just us.... we were surprised at the price turning out to be very reasonable for 9 nights.
This was brilliant and a huge education not only in nature but in life for us all, especially the kids who being the outdoors type back home, loved it.
Elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs. giraffe, etc etc and especially for Samantha our youngest whose only interest was in warthogs. we saw everything close up.
I guess this review is asking whether you should consider using Safari Lifestyles, well we think they are the absolute best!!!!

The experience was beyond our expectation recommending it the most memorable trip of a lifetime.
The highest possible recommendation for two great No.1 drivers/guides, Dennis Taligoola and Hamza Nyelo, both a credit to Wildebeest .These perfect gentlemen were knowledgable, intelligent, equipped with guide books and binoculars, therefore very informative. Lots of fun, easy to be with, parting as friends, making a very memorable experience. Even forging rivers or chasing leopards we felt safe and secure. Our short term drivers Dickson and Ken also took good care of us. Thanks for a wonderful Safari -it could not have been any better!!!

Etosha 3 Day Safari
The overall experience was amazing! The tour guides were accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable.The food was amazing and the campsites offered all required facilities to a high standard.
Prior to the Safari, I was well informed, and communication from Wild Dog Safari's was excellent (even though I was in another country).
The Safari itself was an awesome experience for the first time, it is all luck dependent as to what animals you get to see,

Fine park must see!!!
We went in the wet season and there were less big animals, I think it’s better in the dry season because they have to come to the water holes.

Kenya Adventure
I started planning my trip to Kenya with KWSS in Oct. 2015. The tour operator was very accommodating and offered many suggestions to my itinerary. I started my visit with a 2 night stay in Nairobi, 3 nights in the Massai Mara, 5 nights in the Amboseli, and ended my amazing tour at the Lewa conservation in northern Kenya. The best part of my trip was my Amboseli stay and tour guide Anthony. Anthony was well suited guide for my tour and was a lot of fun to hangout with. Thanks Anthony for being such an incredible guide and driver!!

I would choose Ute Sonnenberg and And Beyond for ALL my future travel (safari).
I had previously been on safari in Tanzania with another organization and I really believed it could not be beat. And it truly was. Ute's choices and recommendations for us were so spot on, the number and choice of camps, how many days at each, giving us the perfect variety of game to visit. She was always responsive, adjusting our trip to accommodate our seemingly endless needs, and rather last minute too. She was amazing, booking our wonderful Cape Town Hotel as well. The consistent quality of And Beyond, (we did 4 camps, two in Phinda and 2 in or near Lion Sands) the incredible talent and training of our Rangers and trackers, was unfathomable, as was the hospitality throughout. We've only been home a week and can't wait to start planning our next trip. Way beyond expectations.
