Wonderful and Amazing Safari
All what we have done was as in a dream. It was our honeymoon, so our expectations were really high.
The most impressive point was the driver FOSTEN who has a big knowledge and experience about animals. We saw all the big five with lot other types of animals. At all the step of the trip, Fosten was present and gives us all informations we need with great explanations about the reserve and jungle.
Accomodation was also one the positives: security and safety are guaranteed.
The program was fulfilled and more that what we expected.
I recommend strongly this safari and even plan to do it again...

Great tour with very knowledgeable guide
Natural World Kenya Safaris provides a great safari experience. Our fantastic tour guide Robinson Ngigi has an exceptional knowledge of the flora and fauna in the region. He is very friendly and always goes the extra mile for his customers. We could not have asked for a better one and highly recommand his services.

Our guide Ben was nice but disinterested--he drove us to each place but stayed in the car mostly.
Communications from our coordinator Francis were great. He was responsonsive and great at answering our questions. The safari tour was a bit below expectations. Our guide would start driving when we were still trying to take pictures when we did see animals and overall didn't have much patience to go find/wait for more.
We also ended up getting to the baby elephant sanctuary 10 mins late for the show and the guide did not help us find a good spot. Spent the whole show looking between people's shoulders trying to get a peep. Very frustrating.
Giraffe conservatory was very fun and probably the highlight as we got to feed the animals but he was again not involved at all.
We made some random stop at the Kazuri beads factory which was sorta interesting but was just a stop to have more tips extracted from us.
Karen Blixen museum was okay and a self guided tour. He didn't even know that was in the itinerary and we had to remind him to call his boss to verify. He then tried to pawn us off to another guide at the museum which would just give us yet another person to pay which felt kind of weird.
Overall the guide Ben was a nice guy but just not engaged at all with providing us a good experience. Everything felt very transactional and very different from the safari/Kilimanjaro experience we just had in Tanzania.

Excellent experience with a great guide
We had a fantastic tour with Kilele. Our guide, Pita, welcomed us at the airport the first day until the last minute of our departure. We went to different parc and the lodges and tented camp were fabulous especially the one in the Serengeti. Pita our guide knows very well the area and he is fluent is French which was good for us.
We definitely recommend Kilele for the safari as this agency is more based on nature rather than mass tourism. You can also chose together the itinerary which is very convenient. Thank you so much for this great experience !! We plan to come back for the migration in 2 years and will definitely use again their services.

Holiday Experience
My wife and I traveled to Kenya together for the first time to visit our family after almost 10 years and our entire experience was five star thanks to Holiday Migrations. We didn't really have any specific itinerary in mind outside of visiting with family but the staff at Holiday Migrations created an itinerary of sights for us to see while we were in Nairobi. With Holiday Migrations, we went to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, The Nairobi Animal Orphanage, The Giraffe Center and they suggested some greats restaurants for us to try with our family members. Our tour guide took us to the city center where we were able to walk around and do some shopping and experience the city in all its glory. Without our tour guide, we wouldn't have been able to see as many sights as we did, the experience was unforgettable, Holiday Migrations customer service was above and beyond. We will definitely be returning to Kenya again with the help of Holiday Migrations and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a unique, culturally curated experience.

avoid tanzania. it is very expensive and evrybody want to cheat you
in september this year we visited masai mara safari in kenya and serengeti safari in tanzania.in masai mara we saw many many animals but in serengeti was sec and allmost no animals.we had been 6 persons 2 nights each park,in masai mara cost us the entrance and the hotel(very good lodge) 1300 us$ and the serengeti park cost us 3300 us$. we past trough ngorongoro park to arive arusha and we payed for the pass 600 us$.
i recomand ,if you go in september to visit safaries to avoied tanzania and stay more in masai mara park.
not only that there are only a few animals and alot of dust but also everybody want to cheat you. every 3-4 km policemen stop you and ask money,we ordered 3 rooms but in two places they told us that only 2 rooms were ordered and we had to pay again, so avoied to visit tanzania

Amazing wild sightings on spectacular game drives in amazing environment
Relaxed and safe atmosohere starting in Hoedspruit. Great private game reserves for intense game drives even following the animals off road. Greater Kruger is the place to be. Book some nights in safari tents for the best bush experience.

Responsive and Easy to Coordinate
Gems of Africa was quick to respond to a request for a quote for my trip to Pilanesberg for a 2 day safari. They gave me a couple of options at different lounges and the booking process was smooth. My only critique was that I would have liked more information on the transportation side. I arranged for a transfer from my hotel in Johannesburg to the park and I wasn't even sure what kind of car to expect. The driver was courteous and the ride was OK.
