The Crater is not to be missed
I spent a full day in Ngorongoro Crater as part of a 9-day safari in Tanzania. The wildlife was amazing. Within the first 20 minutes in the crater, we saw a lioness lying by the side of the road. We saw many more lions that day, along with Cape Buffalo, hyenas (including several feeding on a zebra kill), jackals, elephants, baboon, numerous hippos, warthogs and many Thomson's Gazelles. The birdlife was diverse and plentiful: Augur, Herons, Ibis, Ostrich, Cranes, Tawny Eagles, a Kite, Egrets, Guineafowl, Bustards, Vultures and Weavers. The scenery was spectacular, from the crater walls to the numerous dust devils. A truly amazing day.

Excellent trip - guide, accommodations, etc.
We booked a last minute safari and John was able to pull a great tour together (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Samburu). The accommodations and van were excellent. We requested Vincent as our guide because he guided my mom and aunt in 2011. He was a wonderful guide and driver for our six-day tour. We seemed to be spotting more animals than other vans/jeeps. In fact, guides at the lodges said that Vincent was the best…highly regarded by other companies. I'd definitely recommend CKC but our particular tour involved long drives in between parks (that was my fault…I wanted to see both Masai Mara and Samburu).

a greatest tour operator!!!!
I was looking for a half day trip to Lake Naivasha in Kenya. I was suppose to catch my flight back to Japan that day, and most of the tours were not suitable for my flight schedule, however Ancient Wild Safaris made an arrangement for me so that I could go to the airport on time. Also when I ask them if I wanted to add some places to stop by during the tour, they also made an arrangement with extra fee. It was really helpful. They always try to make a tour that suites for you.On the tour day,the driver came to pick me up on time and took me places with great explanation. The driver guide is really kind and very professional. I had a great time. Ancient Wild Safaris always reply to my e-mail very quickly, that was a good point as well. Definitely I will use Ancient Wild Safaris next time when I visit Kenya!!

7-Day Machame Route Kilimanjaro Climb
My friend and I had been talking about climbing Kilimanjaro for a couple of years and decided to do so this summer. We did a large amount of research about the climb and found Kilimanjaro Brothers to have excellent reviews. Therefore, we contacted them and, having just returned from successfully reaching Uhuru Peak with Kilimanjaro Brothers, we are more than pleased that we did so.
From the outset, the communications with George were clear, friendly and informative. Enquiries were answered quickly. We felt that we knew exactly what were getting. We felt that were getting the personal touch from the beginning and that lasted right the way through the trip.
We booked the 7-Day Machame Climb and we were well looked after. We were picked up at Kilimanjaro Airport by George in the early hours of the morning and taken to our hotel in Moshi (paid for as part of the package). The hotel was lovely - comfortable and clean. We had a briefing the day before the climb which prepared us for everything to come.
The climb was excellent. Our guides - Priscus and Saidi - were excellent, as was the group of porters that helped us make it up the mountain. The food was excellent and James made sure that we were well stocked with food and water every day. We could not have done it without them, but they made it an enjoyable experience and one that we will never forget.
After the climb, we were returned to the hotel where we were given a special presentation of our certificates and we were treated to non-alcoholic champagne and a series of gifts which was very kind of George and his team.
I believe that this personal touch that Kilimanjaro Brothers has is what sets it apart from other companies that we contacted. I hope that this company goes from strength to strength but does not lose this personal touch which made the entire experience one that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Thank you, George, Priscus, Saidi and the whole Kilimanjaro Brothers team!
