Excellent 4 day private Safari with Salim
We had great 4 day private safari with this company. Preparatory communication went through David, who was swift and pleasurable in his replies.
Our driver for the safari was Salim, who is an excellent driver, and was able thanks to his knowledge of the area and wildlife behavior, to show a very extensive variety of wildlife. Not to forget his remarkable eyesight, which directed us to animals which were otherwise overlooked. We saw all animals we could think of (lions, cheetah, leopards, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, antilopes, gazelles, ostriches, big variety of birds)
We first stayed at the Mawe tented camp and then the Ngorogoro Serena lodge, both were high quality accommodation and gave us a unique unforgettable experience.

Great 5 Day Safari
We had a 5 day Safari with RajaTours. Including Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Everything went smoothly. We had some really nice lodges including tented luxury lodge within Serengeti and no fences :-), Rhino lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro.
No car troubles, bad food or something like that happened to us.
Our driver was very experienced and answered alot of questions. He was an animal enthusiast. We saw the Big 5 and a lot more, only missing out on the cheetah. Overall we had a great time and can only recommend Rajab.

Fantastic
I went on a one-day safari in the Ngorongoro crater with 6 friends, and it was really wonderful. The car picked us up at our hotel in the early morning and they were kind enough to arrange drop-off at a hotel in a different city we were staying the following night. The tour guide and everyone who we interacted from the company were really nice and very responsive to emails and calls. Tanzania Wild Destination was excellent and very organized so everything ran smoothly, we saw lots of animals, including four out of five of the Big 5, and enjoyed beautiful scenery -- definitely an unforgettable experience.

Kenya and our 3-day mini-safari lived up to my hopes of what Africa and the game preserves should be
So VERY pleased with our tour service - Skywide Tours. My wife got approval to present at a conference in Nairobi on Tuesday. I emailed Skywide asking for a 3-day package to Masai Mara and David responded within 12 hours. After looking at our travel arrangements, I emailed back on Wednesday night asking to move it forward by 1 day - to Sunday. Again, David responded in short turnaround to confirm this was manageable. We met David at our hotel at 7 AM Sunday, along with our guide, Wachanga. During the next 3 days my wife and I were continuously impressed with Wachanga's engaging personality, his vast knowledge of large animals, birds, plants and geology of the Rift Valley, which he imparted while we BOUNCED along along the dirt roads which snake throughout the Masai Mara National Park. We found out that after being a school teacher for many years, he now is one of the longest-running guides in Kenya. As a result, in addition to his commitment to ensuring we saw as much wildlife as possible, his ease in the mechanics of a multi-day safari - as well as being on a first-name basis with many of the other guides and wardens in the preserve - made the whole experience extremely smooth. We stayed in OL Moran tented camp, where we were pleased to discover that our tent had a shower/toilet attached. The food was simple, but filling. Overall just what we expected for safari accommodations.
As we were coming back into Nairobi we decided to engage Wachanga for the day on Saturday, 4 days from then, to go through the Nairobi National Park, David Sheldrick elephant orphanage and the giraffe center. Again, David and Wachanga were quite accommodating. We finished with a tour of the Kazuri Bead Factory, which employs several hundred single women producing incredibly beautify necklaces and bracelets. We had wanted to try an authentic yama choma meat meal, so we had a late lunch at a restaurant Wachanga arranged.
During the day on Saturday we realized that our flight out the next day wasn't until 11:30 PM, so we asked if Wachanga could take us to see Hell's Gate National Park. Again, this was arranged without difficulty at literally a moment's notice. Hell's Gate offers multiple activities for a 1-day excursion, including the only park where you can leave the vehicle; a close-up view of the escarpments of the Valley wall; a walk up a narrow gorge with 'escape routes' up the side walls in case of a flash flood; and a close-up look at the geothermal plants that provide 10%+ of Kenya's electricity. On our way back we stopped at Lake Naivasha and took a 1-hour ride to see water fowl and hippos.
As you can tell from this long review, we are enchanted with Kenya, and enthusiastic about Wachanga and David from Skywide Tours - their flexibility and local knowledge made this the perfect week trip! We encourage you to use Skywide, request Wachanga, and tell them that Alan and Diane sent you!
