Review about Amboseli National Park by Venkat Ramani
Amboseli NP is a very dusty place with dusty roads. Great place for sighting large herds of Elephants, Hippos, and Birds. Lots of zebras, gazelles, Wilde beasts, and plenty of ostriches. Hyenas and Lions are rare but you can come across a few of them.

Wow!! Experience World Class Service with Helinas!
They lived up-to expectation and beyond. Had a most fabulous experience. From the handling of my Itinerary, my bookings, transfers, the holiday itself, it was stress-free. I'm a regular traveller on business and holiday and this time round I chose Helinas for my long overdue local holiday......to Samburu Shaba. The staff handled my family's itinerary with expertise and a great deal of professionalism. The drive was very pleasant and comfortable. The driver....soo tolerant of the little rascal; very knowledgeable as well......didn't think I would know so much more of my country's heritage...a true bonus! Helinas has surely become my lifetime partner.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Deepesh Panicker
We could spot the Black Rhino and Rothschild Giraffe as well. The most interesting sight for me was of a bushman walking and we had spotted a lioness not very far ago.

Seamless process
Hello, I made just a hotel bookings through Vacay. The rates they offered were very competitive, and they were very easy to work with. I would book with them again. Thank you!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Jellen Goossens
Being close to Arusha offers a great start for safaris and the African experience.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Jellen Goossens
The wideness, the greatness of space and diversity of the Serengeti is difficult to describe. Just come to enjoy it.
The popularity might become a problem in some periods of the year when there will be more jeeps than good for the equilibrium.
Due to the big migration, there are some many opportunities to see great scenes (mating, births, successful and unsuccessful hunts, birds).

We had a great experience with Encounter - excellent communications
I was a bit reluctant to transfer such a large sum on the basis of something I found on-line, but Encounter was excellent and really good with communications. I was flying in from West Africa and meeting my niece who was flying in from Nairobi - we only had about 4 days so it was really important that it all come together. The best thing about Encounter is its communications before and during the trip. They send out constant reminders and let you know about the dates and everything you will need in terms of visa and clothing. We stayed at the Broadbill camp, and it was beautiful - right in the jungle. From front to finish it was a perfect time, Patrick was an excellent guide and made sure we were at all appointments on time. He knew so much about the wildlife and the history of Uganda. We spent an hour with a family of 10 - up close and in the middle of them. Two silverbacks. One passed so close by me, I could have reached and out touched him. No questions about Encounter. Really great.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Jellen Goossens
The atmosphere in this unique environment is particular. The flat surface allows unique views and understanding the role it plays in the great migration is very interesting. The absence of trees has an influence on the presence and diversity of birds.
