Big 2 see Big 5 and some other Kenyan Lowlife
I had my wallet stolen inside the sterile area of the airport on arrival. It was a gang of 3 who huddled around me while I was getting a sim card.
The sim card guy was in on the "fix". So much for airport security. Welcome to Kenya.
That out of the way, It was me and a friend in a Landcruiser with a guide just for us. Tony was Kikuyu who are supposed to be farmers. However he had a great eye for classic game spotting with shape and silhouette to the fore. He picked up animals in the bush which were very hard to pick for inexperienced eyes. Very knowledgeable on birdlife also. He was great company but not intrusive. Kenya has a challenging colonial history and again Tony was up to speed on the MauMau troubles and then independence. A country is just not animals but also people.
We caught the tail end of the animal migration. The number of species and their populations are hard to take in. We saw all the big 5, no problem.
I would highly recommend the operation both on the ground and by Daniel the managing director . Very safe once in their care and well organised.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Hannu Kauhala
We started our safari with this one so it was special to us to see the first elefants etc.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Hannu Kauhala
We saw the migration. So maybe we saw 10 000 or 100 000 animals. It was just incredible.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Hannu Kauhala
This goes with the Ngorongoro crater. That was the place to be. But outside it the massai people had too much cattle in national park.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Hannu Kauhala
The birds very really great. I do not know many flamingos were there. Maybe 10 000. And the scenery was just great.

The safari was well organized and everything went very well; we were extremely satisfied.
Everything was very well organized from the moment we arrived in Maun to our departure. The wildlife was excellent, the scenery in the Okavango Delta is what you would expect for flat sub-topical Savannah. The weather was hot in the day but we expected that from the time of the year and it did cool off at night. Accommodations were excellent and the drivers and trackers were knowledgeable, informative, and did an excellent job. Despite the remoteness of the camps, the food was amazing and presentation and service was very professional. All the staff in the two camps we visited were pleasant, helpful, and polite. The whole experience was amazing and I can highly recommend Botswana as a destination.

Excellent place for safari
We (a group of nine) went to Tanzania to see wildlife. And we had no disappiontments. There are lots of animals and birds to see. The national parks are huge, the rules are strict to protect the wildlife and those are well followed. The cars must follow the routes and one cannot step outside the cars. But there is lots of rest places so after two or three hours drives one can go outside the cars. The scenery is fine and in Serengeti the flat and wide scenery is just astonishing at least by European standards. Because Serengeti, Ngorongoro etc are so high the weather is warm but not hot. The rain did not bother us because mainly one is inside a car. At least for us the accommodations and the food were very good. We had a midrange safari. Our guides were good picking us the animals and birds and we had a locally owned company which was very good. Tanzania is a poor country and by that way the all our money stays there. But it is in rise and at least the safaris are very good. The tourists must respect the animals and that was well done. First the animals and then the tourists and by that way both wins.

Highly Recommended! Fun, Exiting, and To the Point.
My girlfriend and I decided to plan a getaway roughly 2, 3 months ago and we came up with the idea of discovering Kenya wildlife. We did not have enough time and the fact that we had hundreds of options (locations, tour agencies, prices,...) was really confusing. Recommended by one of my friends we decided to plan a 6 day Safari tour (Ambosseli, Nakuru, and Masai Mara) with Top Cream Safari. We were really lucky to plan this amazing trip in short notice with this provider. The manager (Erastus) was really professional and friendly, the response time and communication (through email, whats-app,..) could not be better, all the trip schedule/itineraries from the airport pickup to drop off was provided in detail , and the price quote (including complimentary upgrades) was so tempting.
The driver (David) was the other high point of this trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, fun, and experienced with eagle eyes. (you really need an experienced driver with good eyes to spot the wildlife)
Everything went great according to the itinerary.
I am somewhat picky about the details, however I would say this experience was our best adventure so far and beyond our expectations. Highly recommended!
