Excellent and competent team that took us up Mount Kilimanjaro
We were a group of four that climbed Uhuru peak, Kilimanjaro on July 2015. Used Lemosho and Northern Circuit trail for 9 days. Trek2Kili took us there and back successfully. Friendly service and competent guides. Even before the trip our inquiries were always answered in an orderly fashion. Service was great and expectations were met. Definitely recommend this company to others wanting to undertake the trek.

Dedicated Tour Guides FTW
I am extremely happy with my experience on safari with Africa Flash McTours. My mum and I set out with the hopes of spotting the Big Five on the Mara - we did that and so much more. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable (James), and very dedicated to giving us a great experience. In fact, after a successful day out in the Mara, James suggested that we do a safari of Lake Naivasha (despite our initial misgivings) and his suggestion proved to be spot on; the wildlife by the Lake was very different and definitely worth seeing. I heartily recommend Flash Mc Tours to anyone looking for cheap and good safari experiences.

amazing safari with anexcellent guide
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kenya walking safaris. We choose a 6 day tour around Tanzania and visitied the Ngongoro crater, several natioanal parks and airballooned over the serengeti. The trip was beyond our expectations and we saw so much wildlife and more action tan we ever could have anticipated. Our guide was fantastic, 'Soloman' was able to spot the lions hidden in the tall grasses and even rarely seen leopards and Rhinos. We were so thrilled with our trip and experienced a wonderful safari, which we will never forget.

What an amazing experience!
I am Kenyan born, i currently live in Kenya and i believe Lake Nakuru is truly one of Kenya's crown jewels. It is home to 4 out of the big 5 (rhinos, lions, leopards, buffalos) as well as a number of other herbivores including impala's, gazelles, antelope, bushbuck, zebra, giraffe and many smaller carnivores including hyenas. The birdlife is brilliant too as it is a prime site to view thousands of flamingoes on the lake shore.
The scenery is great too, you can get amazing photographs of the lake surrounded by windblown acacia trees, especially on a rainy day.
The park is not very large, hence the wildlife are quite condensed enabling one to spot many animals on a single game drive. I recommend going for an early morning (6.30am- 9.30am) and an evening drive ( 3pm-6pm).
There are several luxurious hotels both within the park and outside the park, namely Sarova Lion Hill and Sopa lodge Lake Nakuru, as well as secure public campsites managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service.
Access to the park is by a well maintained tarmac highway (A104) from Nairobi to Nakuru town. Inside the park 4x4 vehicles are necessary especially in the rainy months (April, July, August) although the rain can be unpredictable as well. I recommend hiring a 4x4 safari vehicle/ safari van with a driver as the park roads can be confusing for newcomers. Van drivers also have communication via radio with other safari vehicles.
Park entry fees and further information can be obtained from the Kenya Wildlife Service website:

Review about Kenya by Naveed
Kenya is an amazing safari experience not to mention a haven for photographers- landscape and wildlife alike. Kenya also has rock climbing, mountaineering, bungee jumping white water rafting, beach holidays, everything you could want in terms of adventure, adrenaline and relaxation!

Personal & Perfect
I wanted the ultimate safari for our Family of 4 - not especially the most expensive but certainly the authentic experience, where wildlife is living for real. Namibia and Botswana chosen - Etosha & Okavangu as highlights.
I found Nature Travel on the internet and contacted Nick. From Day 1 a very fast and competent service with many proposals. We ended up on a tour going directly to Etosha then into the Caprivi, flying into the Delta via Kasane and ending up at Vic Falls. 2 weeks in total.
So finally we arrived in Windhoek and got picked up by Jakes - our driver and guide for the next 8 days. Jakes turned out to be a terrific guide and a nice guy as well. We had lots of fun and saw all animals possible. We chose to stay 2-4 days on each site, going out in the 4-5 hours in morning and relaxing after lunch - this worked fine. Apart from the wildlife - our long but concented drives gave us a fine impression of Namibia and Botswana. Driving felt good.
Do not miss Etosha where we spent 3 full days (Mokuti lodge recommended) and do not miss Okavangu. Lodges and flights into the Delta are expensive and we chose a relatively modest tented camp - Oddballs Camp. Worth every penny - we did Mokuro trips and walking safari´s with guides from the local village. We truely enjoyed 3 nights in the middle of nowhere with grazing hippos at night and huge elephants eating from trees 5 meter from our tents in the morning. May the Delta stay like it is forever..
Back to Nature Travel - everything worked incl all transfers and logistics. I am especially impressed about our transfer from Oddballs to Livingstone. The plane should arrive at 1115. It arrived 2 mins early. After the flight a transfer was waiting taking us to the Zambezi river, then a private boat and finally a new transfer waiting to take us to Livingstone. Not one minute of waiting and superb guiding all the way.
If going to Namibia and Botwsana - go only with Nature Travel Namibia...

Great Experience!
Moureen from Kay Adventure Tours and me met on Safari Bookings. We contacted before our visit in Kenya and she gave me a lot of helpful information. Arriving in Kenya we met in our hotel to finally book our tour and accommodations. Moureen gave us information about a lot of possibilities to create our trip. At least we booked a four day trip to Taita Hills, Amboseli Park and Tsavo East. We had a very nice driver who gave us a lot of information during the tour about the country, the people, the parks and the animals. It was an amazing trip for us. I will never forget and just can recommend to contact Moureen to plan your Safari Tour! On the Tour we also met a lot of kind people.
Thank you Moureen for organize our tour! I wish to come back again!

There is just one word to describe Simba Safaris: Excellent!!!
Simba Safaris have been most competent and professional in all regards. We have had a perfectly planned safari trip and have been taken perfectly care of by our guide, Peter, and chef, Richard. They have been very competent, considerate and service-minded and Peter has given us a wonderful tour of the magnificent nature and wildlife of Tanzania through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara.
We will definitely choose Simba Safari again anytime. Thank you so much for a great safari experience.
2 day safari: Tarangire national park and the Ngorongoro Crater
Tomodachi Tours and Safaris are the best. I recommend other tourist to plan there safaris with Tomodachi Tours and safaris.
