Stellar experience seeing the big 5 for the best deal
We had an amazing experience doing a 5 day safari with our guide Salehe Mkwanda who was an expert on driving, knowing the information about the animals and trees.
At first we were hesitant to go with this company because of how cheap the price was and the fact that we couldnt use credit cards. But everything worked out perfectly and I would highly suggest booking with this company. They worked with what we wanted to see and helped us get the best deal. All of the places we stayed at during the safari had great facilities. The only issue we had was the food which couldve been better. We felt the servings were small and not enough protein was provided.
The service of airport transport was very was very helpful and a determining factor. Our airport driver Saidi was great. This added benefit plus the great price really made the difference when we were comparing other safari companies.
Seth was also very good at replying to any emails or questions we had.
Overall all the people we were in communication with before and during the safari were very professional and never tried to take advantage of us.
We would highly recommend this company!!

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!!
