Scam Company
Do not book through this company if you dont want to ruin your holidays. This guy Jose will take your money and will never provide the service. And you will never be able to get him on the phone as he will switch it off as soon as the payment is made. He will ask for advance payment and payment on the first day. Don’t ruin your holidays by booking with him no matter what he tells you. He is a good speaker ! This guy is bag of lies. He should be in jail for escroqueries !

Best Safari Experience Ever (Have ben on 25+ Safaris over 30 years)
Honestly, of the 30 or more Safari trips I've taken in Kenya, South Africa & Tz, Northland Africa Adventures truly excelled. During our planning, this company worked closely with me, offering a great selection of lodging, working with our limited budget, and keeping me abreast of any changes. We were hosting a 1st time visitor to Africa, and they made two suggestions (An excellent Village Bike ride through Mto w Mbu rice fields & banana plantations, and a lovely lunch at one of the lodges) that made this trip special.
Northland African Adventures staff are On TIME. Their vehicles are clean, well-equipped vehicles (charging stations, small fridge, plenty of binoculars, very good animal, bird and insect reference books).
Our tour guide George went above the call of duty to help us with check-in at lodging and with extra requests. George is an absolute top notch tour guide - probably the best guide we've had over the past 30 years. He loves the animals & the earth, is extremely knowledgable, and can converse on geology & ecology as well as animal and bird life. He has a 6th sense for finding animals in action, which allowed us to see a cheetah mother & adolescent cubs take down a Grant's gazelle (previous safari) and a monitor lizard battle some plovers over their eggs (this trip). George related well with our two teenage boys; our entire family was delighted with the trip.
George's strong desire to reach out to Tanzanian kids and teach them about wildlife and instill a love and respect for nature is also admirable - he visits local schools and gives wildlife talks during his (very few) spare moments.
I would highly recommend Northland Africa Safaris. We will be booking them for future safaris. Give them a try - you will NOT be disappointed.

In the end, we all felt like we want to ride with Kenamoti tours again
Excellent communication. We had the most remarkable family tour with Kenamoti Tours. Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guides and our Kenamoti crew truly cared about us, both the kids and adults. Kenamoti made our trip memorable.
For our children, ages 10 and 5 years, this definitely has become the most eye-opening, adventurous, and stunning journey of their life, something they will remember, draw upon, and cherish for many years to come.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
1 hour after leaving, the 4x4 broke down.. no front brakes! The driver tried to fix it just enough to keep going which meant driving in second gear for the entire journey. A 2 hour trip turned into a 5 hours trip which was just to the park entrance. The driver took the car to a mechanic after our game drive, which was limited to just 1.5 hrs due to our late arrival, but had no luck so we continued with no front brakes. On the way back, one of the doors almost fell off and the driver had to secure it using rubber strap. We had to stop every 40 minutes as something else went wrong (low oil pressure, refill leaking radiator). Eventually the car died and we continued our return in a taxi. We wasted another 5 hours getting back to our hotel. Ann from the agency agreed to compensate each customer USD 50 each, which amounted to USD 200 as we were 4. But as it was a Saturday and she had no cash and we were leaving Iringa, she agreed with the Mama Pizza Iringa Hotel, where we were staying, to deliver the $200 first thing Monday morning which would go towards our accommodation bill. This never happened, the hotel manager (Richard) called her and went to see her in the office but no money.. always offering another excuse. We tried to contact her but she refused to answer. Eventually we gave up and transferred the money to Richard so at least the hotel was not out of pocket. This company cannot be trusted and their service was absolutely terrible as was their unsafe vehicles. As for Ann and the way she managed this situations, she should be ashamed of herself. You can confirm this info with Richard at Mama Iringa Pizza Hotel.

Unforgetable Trip
Amboselie is not really big but packed with wildlife. Its really famous mostly for its elephants, among other animals like zebra's, gazelle , wildebeest , water buffalo , hypos, some lions , and birds. Life is concentrated around the swamps where most hang out.
I had 3 days ( 2 nights ) in Amboseli . Spirit of Kenya handeled my tour professionally and flawlesly from day 0 till dropping me off @ the airport in the end .
Im a photographer, and had specific needs (type of car , guide ) to make my trip succeful . I informed Spirit of Kenya of these requirements , and they exceeded my expectations .
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and understood exactly what I'm looking for . He knew animals where abouts , and there behavior which made my job so much easier and enjoyable . The car was in great condition, clean , and supplied with water bottles.
I would like to thank everybody @ spirit of kenya on making this unforgetable trip, and for next safari , it would be you guys .

Very well organized - from pick up to drop off
I was in Uganda as a solo woman traveller, so timing was very important to me. I was picked up at the airport on time and my driver also called the accommodation where he had to drop me off to make sure everything was okay.
I can recommend using Encounter Africa's services.
