Thank you for such an incredible trip!!!
This trip exceeded my husband's and my expectations! We did an 11 day trip exploring the beauty of Kenya and Tanzania. All the drivers, especially Joseph, were extremely welcoming. They were always willing to share their knowledge and did their best to find all the animals for you. We were able to see "The Big 5" within our first two days! Before the trip, Michael answered any questions we had, and he even met up with us a few times during our trip to see how we were doing. He also arranged seemless transitions as we switched from Kenya to Tanzania. We absolutely loved this trip and would book through Ancient Wild Safaris again!

Perfect trip
Everything was perfect. The experience was unbelievable.
Our drive was really friendly. The van was a little bit old but we travelled alone then the trip was ok.

The best experience with the best company
101% recommendable. The personnel and the driver were very kind and profesional. We have enjoyed a lot the saffari!! We met the CEO's company (Otieno) the last day to thank him all his support.
Great day at lion park kzn
Thank you so much for the fun filled family day we had at the lion park. Great picnic and ice cold beers. Rowly was very knowledgeable about the wild life. I was also impressed about his knowledge of birds. Once again thank you Rowly. Great family day and money well spent. Moxey Family

Gorillas, lake Kivu, Kigali and more!
I had a great experience in Rwanda and Pearl Afric tours was excellent in organizing and managing the trip from beginning to end. Everything went smoothly and I loved visiting Rwanda; my guide was personable and knowledgeable, and I came away from it feeling like I had had a truly unique and special experience. I would happily recommend Pearl Afric to anyone!

Owner really needs to improve after sales service....Else would have been an excellent experience
OT (the owner) was extremely responsive to our needs before I booked the trip. We went for a 10 days Safari covering Tsavo, Amboseli, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Nakura. Due to flight delays, we had to make some changes in the itinerary and that is when the problem started. Although he tried to be flexible, he did not talk to us directly to understand if we were satisfied with the change. He was just not responsive. He did not remember the extras we booked, did not instruct the driver about the plan properly, gave a different hotel name to the one we were originally booked for to the driver in one occasion and so on. The trip was excellent but these things and the fact that for 2 days out of the 10 days trip he booked us in sub-standard hotels really spoilt our mood. On one occasion we had to wait for OT to give the driver the money for the park visit thereby delaying our visit.
The driver-guide (John) was excellent and did his best to cover up for these short comings. I think OT has a good team of people but due to mis-management he will start getting not so good reviews.

The tour was spectacular from start to finish
My initial contact with this contact was Elias Njenga, who helped me customize a tour addressing the interests of my family of 5. We have gone on many "soft" adventure tours, and thanks to Elias, this was the most seamless trip of all. We were upgraded several times at no cost to us. The accomodations were superb, much nicer than we ever imagined. We started in Kenya, went to Tanzania and finished in Zanzibar. Each leg of the tour was spectacular. We saw an incredible number of animals from our very first day. Our guides were professional, personable and knowledgeable. The pop-up vehicles were very comfortable and all 3 guides were great drivers. This is a small company who delivers more than they promise and do so expertly. Their trips are reasonably priced and I would not hesitate to use them again if we are able to return to Africa. I have recommended them to many of my closest friends and colleagues. My deepest appreciation to them for a job well done !

Review about Serengeti National Park by Ryan
Serengeti has wide open expanses of grasslands with rock islands and forests, where we found our only two leopards of the trip. Out on the plains there were thousands of gazelles and many warthogs, giraffes, and elephants, along with two serval cats, many lions, and two cheetahs. We were lucky enough to witness a lion hunting a buffalo, and many hippos. You must sleep at the tented camp, where there is breathtaking views, hot chocolate, and a comfortable place to sleep. At night, a massive herd of wildebeest ran past our tent, along with hyenas on the prowl. This was a very neat experience.

Fascinating!
This is a place where the animals do not migrate, and stay year round. Wildlife is plentiful, and the crater hosts some of the lasts rhinos in Tanzania. We were lucky enough to experience a lion hunt, hyenas at a carcass, and thousands of flamingos on the salt pans. You can take a hike around the rim of the crater through lush forests with breathtaking views. In the evening driving up to the lodge, mist dumps off the crater rim. If you can, get up before sunrise to make the best of your time, but it is chilly in the morning so bring extra layers. Never miss an opportunity to visit the crater.

Review about Tanzania by Ryan
There are many animals at all of the national parks. The birding is great
