Best experience of my life
My wife & I came for a honeymoon to the beautiful country of Kenya, everything was planned to perfection, even the communication with Robert was excellent and Robert gave us his best guy “Jonathan”, I believe Jonathan very pure heartedly wanted us to have the best best best of time and make a memory for the rest of our lives.
What we did?
Day 1: arrive and rest at Nairobi in radiun blu, super safe & beautiful property
Day 2: here is where the journey gets exciting and we go to nakuru national park, we arrived and it was a beautiful day with some drizzle, just after reaching we checked in and had a little rest at about 3:30 PM we went out for a game drive and to our surprise the first animals we saw... are the ferocious lion couples... apart from that we saw several several more animals no rhino in sight though.
Day 3: we wake up early morning leave for an early morning game drive and bam Jonathan’s super friend circle and constant radio chatters helped us to see a full family of rhinos... it was beautiful... we also saw thousands of Flamingos. In late afternoon we move to the beautiful lake naivasha for spotting some hippos. After that we went to hell’s gate for riding a 16km street of bicycle with our cycle guide Joseph, it was. Mesmerizing experience
Day 4: Early morning drive to lake naivaisha, where we are accompanied by a boat driver who takes us around the lake naivasha, lastly we had a beautiful beautiful by walking extremely close to some beautiful water bucks, giraffes, wilder beasts, gazelles and zebras
Day 5: early morning longgggggg journey to the world famous Masai Mara to watch some big cats... we reached in late afternoon for lunch and went for an evening game drive where we spotted leopards & a full cheetah family.
Day 6: having game drives and our breakfast and lunch in the middle of a jungle! What an experience !
Super super super thank you to Explorer Kenya team & Jonathan who is not your average safari guide but a guy who really wants you to have the best of time while you are there.
Whatever you need in Kenya just ask Jonathan and his connections would fix you up.
Loved the trip, a memorable honeymoon.
We still have a day to go, we are now on our way to Nairobi for a PCR test and taking the flight back tomorrow for our home countries.

A wonderful experience, very well organised, helpful to solve problems and exquisite service
We looked mainly for nature and they offered us an itinary that fulfilled our expectations and also showed us the wonders of their culture and society. The company and advice of the guide and driver was great.
We are a small family of three and our child became a very good friend of them. A trip to repeat, no doubts

Best journey of our lives!
We had an extraordinary experience on our tour at all levels. The quality and comfort of the accommodation where we stayed far exceeded our expectations, from the facilities themselves to the friendliness and availability of the staff, as well as the meals that were served.
Still, our greatest thanks and recognition goes to our guide, Abraham. During all the time we spent together, Abraham was a friendly, patient, available, flexible and always highly dedicated presence to ensure that we had the best experience possible, on a trip that he knew we had wanted to do for a long time. Without him it would surely have been different.
We could hardly have been more satisfied with our trip, in every respect. In the future, we will definitely recommend this experience with soul of Tanzânia to our friends.
Thank you for all the support and availability in organizing the trip!

Longlasting Experience
A group of friends and I extended our trip to Arusha from Sanzibar did a 4days tour with Fahamu Safaris to visit the AMAZING Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire national park. Solomon arranged our safari on a very short notice and everything went perfect and exceeded our expectations. Our guide "Frank" is a professional with incredible eagle eyes - spotting wildlife from far away. All days He looked after us so well during the entire trip, making sure we had the best experience. Frank made sure that our fridge (in the Safari Jeep!) Was stocked full of drinks the entire time (he allowed us to put our other drinks). I would definitely recommend Fahamu Safaris if you need best and affordable safari in Tanzania. ASANTE SANA Solomon and Frank

Safari was special, I didn't experience such emotions before
I'd like to highlight 3 moments
1. What animals I've seen:
At Tarangire, we were lucky to see cheetah chasing after gazelle. Good shots. We watched lions too, but they were sleeping and chilling after meal. We also saw all common animals like giraffes, buffalo's etc.
At Ngorongoro we saw almostly the same common animals, but also a bit hippopotamus from the water, flamingos, bigger band of buffalos
and the landscapes was more magnificent.
2. About my guide Immanuel:
I liked scientific facts and magiс stories about animals and plants that Immanuel told us. I guess plenty of them I wouldn't ever get to know without him. Also, he was patient when we translated his speech for non-English speaker. He is responsible: was punctual and drove professionaly; easygoing, such good vibes.
3. About massai and monkeys.
I must warn you that Massai ask a lot of money for their souvenirs. As the guests we had a moral obligation to pay for it. So if you don't want to splash out, don't be afraid of negotiating or even refusing, because they are peaceful, nice people and shouldn't bother.
While having a lunch we faced cute monkeys. They wanted to steal all of our bananas, but our guide protected our loved bananas from them. He knows the "monkey-body language" which I find the funniest thing to watch and I have a good memories about it.
This journey definitely inspired me to learn more about Tanzania and Africa.

Five-star experience!¡
Karibu staff were friendly and helpful with a deep knowledge and passion for the subject of matter, therefore, we got to see the Big 5!¡!
They were all the time really attentive and caring, that's why I'd definitely recommend Karibu Safaris to my family and friends and to those Who want to life this experience with a fully trusted company.
This trip was one of the best memories I keep from Tanzania. Asante sana Karibu safaris

All family satisfied and happy
We booked a budget safari with Axis for our 5 persons family. We were guided and driven by Denis in an old Toyota (didn't buy an upgrade to jeep). The mastery with which Denis drove the car was really appreciable. Especially one tough part during game driving was not easy for 4wheels and they were sliding on the mud, our guide watched other cars, went outside to calculate something and drove through without even losing control like other cars. Impressive! We felt safe while driving on roads too. If you've never been to Kenya then you don't know what sort of horror is on its roads...
Denis was not too talkative but always very informative (and when I compered i formation from him to other guides' info, I could see it was reliable). We made a nice team together- he always listened to us when we wanted eg. stop for buying fruits.
And, the most important: we saw the big 5 and lots of other animals! It's amazing! Only the rhinoceros was not visible in Masai Mara, but our trip included lake Nakuru and there was a family of them that we observed rhinos as well as flamingos but these were not millions (maybe the wrong season?).
Overall great safari and finished with a trip to Masai village, which (after spending some time by the fire camp (Sidai Mara camping) with some of Masai) was a very nice surprise (not initially included in the trip).
Everyone from us was happy (even the teenager!!?)

Best safari we've taken. Most knowledgeable guide and fully customized tours.
My husband and my favorite vacation ever has been our safari with Capture Kenya. From the animals to the accommodations, everything about the trip was incredible!
Through traveling we’ve gotten to have a lot of really cool wild animal interactions, but nothing compares to our experiences on this 11 day Kenyan safari. We were less than 15 feet away from lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, hippos, ostriches, and dozens of other animals! There were wild elephants that walked right through our camp! It was incredible getting to see these amazing animals in their natural habitats. One of my favorite scenes was getting to see a baby cape buffalo learning to walk hours after being born! We told Capture Kenya the animals we most wanted to see and they planned a dream vacation around our preferences!
From start to finish, Capture Kenya made sure we had the best experience possible! They are a local Kenyan company who cares a lot about conservation and local Kenyan communities. What made our trip truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience was our guide (and the owner of Capture Kenya), Henry Gathura! Henry was the best tour guide we have ever had! He has more than 20 years of safari experience and knew exactly where to go for the best wildlife experience. My husband and I have since done other safaris and this was by far our favorite! In less than 2 weeks time, we were amazed at how much we learned and experienced! Henry seemed more like a lifelong friend than a guide.
Another highlight of ours were the accommodations. Capture Kenya does an amazing job of creating the perfect custom trip to match your preferences. The lodges we stayed at took “glamping” to a whole new level! Every place was so beautiful and right in the middle of the national reserves! Although we were living in luxury, we were surrounded by incredible wildlife! In addition to having elephants walk through our camp, at night we heard hippos, baboons, and even lions! From rhinos to zebras, we saw dozens of different animals right from our room! The food and staff of the lodges were also remarkable. It was definitely our favorite vacation ever!
