Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by KO
It was nice, but slightly lower rate in comparison with Masai Mara National Reserve, in terms of number of animals and size of the area.

It was really amazing. We have never experienced such an exciting trip.
We really enjoyed spending time in Kenya. The tour was arranged well as we had expected. We could see all of Big 5 in national parks, scenery was wonderful, weather was mostly nice, accommodations and food were as expected. Regarding the transportation, the driver John was very gentle, drove perfectly, without any stuck even on very muddy road.

Amazing when you don't get ripped off!
We booked a Safari tour with Crater Explorer on Safari Booking.
Exchanges where nice but only by WhatsApp, we didn't receive any receipt, anything confirming us the booking, but anyway, we thought it was quite normal in Tanzania.
Arrived in Arusha, the guy from Crater Explorer (Emanuel), ask us to pay the globally by cash a day before the safari without giving us any receipt (what is suspect).
Hopefully we were with a local Tanzanian at this time, who thought it was a scam.
And actually he was right! During the day the safari was very nice, we saw many animals, parks are extremely beautiful BUT for the accommodation it was the opposite of what we paid for. We were supposed to sleep in tents IN the park and actually we slept in a dirty lodge outside of the park, in a city center very noisy! We were very very disappointed, and we didn't get any refund, anything.
Just as advise, please verify safari agencies that you promote on your website, and make sure they do what they sell!

Unforgettable Wildlife Experience
Overall the safaris were great! We saw and learned about many animals, and the sceneries were beautiful. We went in summer, but the weather was relatively cold, as it was our first time to safari, I wish someone could've told us that the Kruger safari would take the whole day, jacket, sunglasses and sunscreen are a must for a more enjoyable ride. The accommodations were very African style and the food was tasty, we really enjoyed them. It's a pitty that we didn't get to see all the big five, however, we heard there was a bigger chance of seeing rhinos, leopards and buffalos at the camp site we were staying, which we weren't arranged to see during the three days we were there, maybe the tour package we bought were too short. Nevertheless, we still had an amazing wildlife experience and we would do it again in the future!

It was impressive, Emanuel owner of Topi adventure organized our trip, as it was always fantastic. He is always aware of his clients.
Wonderful, we will return and go with them again !!!

A Fantastic 9 Days Safari Vacation in Kenya
Africa Flesh McTours put together a personalized 9 days safari vacation (Masaai Mara, Amboseli, Ol Pejeta) for us. Peter who is the manager of Flash McTours was extremely responsive before and during the trip to Kenya, answering our questions promptly. Even when we had a little issue with the hotel in Ol Pejeta, he quickly resolved it and offered us a better accommodation. Anthony, who was our guide for the entire 9 days was knowledgable and kind, so we really enjoyed his company. Peter called Anthony's phone once in a while to check in with us if everything is alright, which was very thoughtful. Peter went over and beyond to make our vacation great. Flesh McTours is a very reliable company, and I would recommend to anyone who is thinking about a safari vacation in Kenya.

6 day Safari- a memorable trip
Our experience with Soul of Tanzania was seamless from the very first email interaction. Having been recommended Soul of Tanzania from friends, we emailed to enquire about a safari for my husband, our 16 year old son and myself for mid-January 2020. All our questions were promptly answered and we felt very confident to book the trip with the company.
From arrival at Kilimanjaro airport we were well looked after. All our accomodation during the safari was very comfortable and safe.
The highlight was undoubtedly seeing the magnificent animals in their natural habitats. Our driver, Emanuel, was exceptional and enhanced our trip with his knowledge, friendly and professional manner. Photography advice he gave helped us get fantastic photos we will always treasure. Emanuel also created fabulous lunch experiences as we feasted on delicious hot lunches and a glass or two of wine whilst soaking in the ambience of the Tanzanian bushland. At all times we felt completely safe and looked after whilst in Emanuel's care.
We took the additional option to visit a Masai village. The experience was unique and we were glad we did! It was a fabulous memory as well as an opportunity to gain a firsthand insight into a different and interesting way of life.
Two of our accomodation sites were campsites. We slept in luxurious tents and fell asleep to the sound of lions and animals whilst feeling completely at ease and safe- this was a magical experience, especially as the warm, friendly and hospitable staff at each site made us feel so welcomed.
I highly recommend Soul of Tanzania to organise a truly special way to interact with these magnificent African animals and enjoy the wonders of Tanzania

The itinerary, guide, and accommodations were amazing.
Communication before and during the tour was really good. Richard answered all of my questions before the tour and followed up to see that everything was alright after the tour. The itinerary that Richard suggested was really well organized and included everything I wanted to see and the one accommodation change that I wanted to make. All accommodations were nice and well located. During our travels from one location to the next, Richard made some stops at different sites to show me things along the way. He was a very good and enthusiastic guide and I really enjoyed my tour with him.
