A fantastic three-day private tour tailored to our interests
The 3-day tour of the Southern Cape, Agulhas, Safari & Little Karoo was as billed: a wonderful drive along the spectacular southern coast visiting a penguin colony, and viewing many bird species and animals. A stop at Cape Agulhas, southern tip of the continent and stay over at an austere but clean beach house. Day 2 we traveled through historic towns, stopped at the aloe factory and had brunch at the perfect Blue Crane. We went to Botlierskop for a “big 5” safari. The drive covered a huge, gorgeous landscape with a good guide but very few animals. After the safari we continue to the town of Oudtshoorn (via the Robertson’s pass), which is the capital of the Little Karoo, renowned for its spectacular arid landscapes, fossil finds, succulent desert plants and had dinner (ostrich carpaccio, figs and fresh farm cheeses!) and stayed at the incomparable De Denne Country Guest House near the Highgate Ostrich farm. Our guide Derek Keeling was terrifically knowledgeable and flexible, allowing us to skip the caves and tour the ostrich farm, and explore the towns the Route 62 wine route between two mountain ranges on day 3, completing our 800 mile round-trip that started and ended in Cape Town. I would do it all again in a heartbeat!

So-so safari
On the plus side, drivers and other tour staff were helpful, kind and eager to share stories and make the trip more personal. Also, the food provided was decent.
Even though our safari experience at Amboseli was enjoyable, there were some issues.
- Chaotic. Upon departure it was revealed that we were joining other groups in Nairobi, from other operators; merging the safari participants became very chaotic, nothing was communicated or planned, many different people were involved and we were kept in the dark. Similarly, upon returning, we had no idea how or with whom we would get home after dropping off the others at the airport as nothing was communicated by the operator.
- Camp. We arrived at 22h (while we departed at 14.30 from our place in Nairobi) in the budget option camp. When we were taken to our tent the lights had been left inside which basically resulted in an unnecessary bug-fest. Then we tried to use the bathroom but there were still feces there which came up when we tried to flush... When we made inquiries someone did come over to 'fix' it but the bathroom floor was covered instead. Then we were left alone for the night, though we were promised a new tent in the morning. While the website promises the best of the budget camp, it was clear there were cottages better than our tents.
- Organisation. The point of the third day was to go for an early morning (6.30am) game drive and then head back to Nairobi. However, when we arrived for breakfast at 6am nothing was prepared and in the end we had to wait exactly and hour. While we had clearly communicated an allergy for eggs, the breakfast consisted of pancakes and omelettes. Furthermore, the car needed fixing and we ended up in the park after 8am instead. Soon after we got a flat tire, resulting in no time left to watch game as we had to leave before our 24hour park permit expired. Lastly on the way back, our driver kept falling asleep behind the wheel.
Despite these issues we had a good time in the Amboseli National park.

Very well organised and friendly, safe driver in very comfortalbe 4x4
When we came out of the airport, our driver was already waiting for us. He brought us to the Stanley Sarova Hotel in Nairobi, which exceeded expectations.
Immediately, whe felt welcome and in good company.
Our driver Dennis, was excellent. He took no risks on the road. After arriving in the Masai Mara, we discovered that he tried to show us as much as possible. He also gave us the time to enjoy the wildlife, by stopping the vehicle, every time we asked for it.
The lodges Wildebeest Safaris booked, where clean, comfy, very good.
We enjoyed the Safari very much and wood most certainly recommend them to all our friends.

Decent safari and kind people!
I booked a day-trip with Camposafaris to Lake Nakuru. It was a private trip since no others booked anything to this location, and it was amazing! The operator Lawrence is very quick in e-mail communication, helpful and kind. The driver Martin was knowledgeable and he really did his best to get close to the animals. And for lunch he took me (upon my request) to a real Kenyan place which was great. The drive to Nakuru is long (from Nairobi) but the many animals and amazing views make it well worth it! Only advice for Camposafaris would be to bring water. In the price 500ml water was included, but it wasn't provided. Once I asked for it we went to get some outside the park. Thank you for a lovely trip though, would definitely recommend choosing this operator!

3 days / 2 nights Mikumi - great first safari with Uhuru Travel & Tours
This was our very first safari. Mikumi NP and Uhuru Travel & Tours turned both out to be good choices for this purpose. We slightly modified the itinerary without having to pay extra for it - pick up at a city center hotel and drop off at the airport in time for our international flight back home. Mikumi NP offered everything we expected to see. One afternoon and one full day game drive provided enough time to explore the park.

Great, beyond our expectations.
We enjoyed our tour. The trip to Samburu was pleasant and our driver/tour guide was knowledgeable and worked tirelessly to provide a good experience.
