3 days Masai Mara tour
Our 3 days Masai Mara family tour was an amazing experience with Kenya Bush Expeditions, and we took back special memories with us.
My main concern was that I had my kids aged 4 and 8 in the tour. But Peter, a very friendly and experienced driver and guide, had things so well organized and planned, taking care of our comfort and needs throughout the tour. The agenda was well planned to suit our comfort.
I would definitely recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions.

Good value for money
My boyfriend and I had a great time on this trip. Everything was well coordinated and organized for us. The only thing we wish we would have known is that since the national parks are located far away from each other, there is a significant amount of time eaten up by traveling. So when they say “2 days in the Serengeti”, this is actually 2 half-days so about 8-10h of game drives total. It may sound like enough but it sometimes takes a while to spot animals since the area is very vast, so the more time spent in one place the better. If we had to redo it I would have chosen to visit fewer parks (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and spend more time in those. In the end, we were able to see only 3 out of the Big 5.
The organization could have been a bit better since we shared a Jeep with another family that had a different itinerary than us and finished one day earlier. Because of that, we had to leave the park early (around 11am even though we supposedly had a full day to spend in the Park) which was not really fair to the rest of us who were staying longer. We ended up back at the hotel at 2PM with nothing to do. With that said, when we complained the tour company was accommodating and arranged for some small activities to fill in our time. They were also very responsive on WhatsApp.
My boyfriend’s birthday fell during the trip and the company arranged to have a surprise cake delivered after our hike to the waterfalls, which was a very thoughtful touch.

Very excellent
We booked our 3 days luxury safari with Africa Masters class tours and safari visiting Serengeti national Park and Ngorongoro crater and everything went beyond our expectations, we had a good communication with Maria from this company she did everything to make our safari superb, she booked amazing lodges with great services!
Also in our safari we had a great guide Saidi, he did his part well he was there to make sure we enjoyed our safari well. The explained to us everything we saw on the road and answer our questions of everything we wanted to know also he knew where we can go ana spot the animals as we saw all the BIG FIVE the amazing part is where we saw cheetah at serengeti national Park and many other animals. We really enjoyed to be with him in this Safari and he's the best guide you could wish to be with in your Safari.
The food was so delicious and they prepared an amazing meals star from the breakfast, lunch and dinner and it was hot meals.
Africa master class tours and safari is the best tour agency anyone could wish to travel with for safari tour to Tanzania!
We highly recommend anyone who want to travel to Tanzania to go with this company!

Ali is the best guide anyone could’ve asked for. I rarely give 4 or 5 stars, but Ali gets all 5!
When booking please pick Dancing Simba! My wife and I flew from the states and did a 3 day tour with Dancing Simba. Ali is the most friendly guide you’ll meet. He’s very funny, and personable. If I lived closer, I probably would have a new best friend in Ali. He is a great dude! He’s veteran guide who knows the entire park like the back of his hand, he knows the history of the park, and we got to see some really rare wildlife because he seems to know their behaviors and habits. Ali has been a guide for many years and knows it well. You may be asking yourself why didn’t I give it 5 stars. It had nothing to do with David or Ali. They each earned 5 stars. The campsite was 3-4 stars. We didn’t have hot water the 2nd day, they said they’ll do our laundry for us. They didn’t mention we had to pay extra until we were checking out. 15 usd for 8 articles of clothing. 😑 Also the tents are very close to each other. It’s great to hear lions and hyenas making noises in the evening, but it wasn’t so great hearing all the other couples in the campsite making love. 🙄 We paid for the luxury tour and the luxury tent was right beside the dinner and breakfast hall which means we were the last ones asleep at night and the 1st ones awake. Bring ear plugs or a sound machine. The food at the campsite was some of the best food I have eaten! The chefs were on point, and made a delicious meal! The inside of the tents were comfortable and very clean! I would choose Dancing Simba every time! They are the best.

Excellent trip of a lifetime! 2-weeks Bush and Beach Safari
We – 3 couples in our 50’s and 60’s –returned yesterday from a 2-week Bush & Beach Safari from Kenya. In this trip, we covered game drives in Masai Mara NP (1 ¼ days), Amboseli NP (1 ¼), Nakuru NP (1 day) and Naivasha (1 day). We enjoyed 3 nights/4 days beach vacation in Diani (Mombasa) and also had city tours in Mombasa (1 day) and Nairobi. The entire trip was organized by Salina Wild Adventures.
We approached several tour organizers listed in safaribookings.com. In the end, we selected Salina for their competitive pricing and responsiveness. Our initial contact was with Charles and were handed over to Teddy, who was very responsive to all our queries and demands. He customized a tour based on our necessities. Teddy is based in Nairobi but kept in touch with us throughout the tour.
The accommodations were superb – special mention for Lotos Inn and Suites in Nairobi for their cleanliness and superb Chinese food, and Sentrim Elementaita on the shores of Lake Elementaita, for the excellent location, comfortable accommodation and the excellent buffet spread.
We travelled in a 4 x 4 Toyota Landcruiser during the safari section and had 1 – 2 cars during the city & beach sections of the tour. We always had a vehicle at our disposal and 95% of our meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was included in the tour price.
Our driver, John, during the safari section, was fantastic. He was Masai and was very knowledgeable about the animals, the local customs and traditions. He took extra effort to drive great distances in the National Parks to spot the animals.
Future travelers should take note that the luggage space in the Safari vehicle was quite cramped for 6 travelers and their 6 suitcases and personal baggage.
Perhaps the only complaint we had during the trip was that the vehicles provided during the city parts of the tour both in Nairobi and Mombasa could not accommodate all 6 of us in one vehicle. We had to constantly call Teddy to make alternate arrangements. This was annoying at times, especially after tiring journeys. Also, the bottled water was a tad inadequate during whole-day car travels, though it was supposed to be covered by Salina.
Overall, we were quite satisfied with the arrangements made by and the competitive pricing of Salina. We will certainly recommend them to our friends and families who would like to undertake a journey of a lifetime in Kenya. We wish our very best to Charles, Teddy, John and everyone in Salina for their future.

Astounding value, unforgettable experiences and a team that wants so show you all of Kenyas beauties
We recently embarked on a 4-day safari with Across Horizon Safari (AHS), and overall, the experience was unforgettable. As students, budget constraints were a significant concern for us, but the company offered an exceptionally reasonable price that allowed us to fully enjoy the stunning landscapes and wildlife of Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
From the start, the trip was filled with breathtaking moments. We witnessed the incredible diversity of wildlife in Maasai Mara and the serene beauty of Lake Nakuru. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, providing us with insightful information about the animals and the environment. The accommodations were comfortable and exceeded our expectations, especially considering the cost.
One of the standout aspects of this provider is their flexibility. They were very accommodating to our needs and requests, making adjustments wherever possible to enhance our experience. If you have any questions or special requests, we highly recommend talking to them—they are more than willing to tailor the safari to meet your needs.
However, there were a few logistical issues along the way. We faced some hiccups with pickups, payments, and the itinerary, which required us to be flexible and patient. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience was worth it. The team did their best to address our concerns, and their efforts were appreciated. Noticeably this resulted in ous getting a private Safari, consisting of only our group. (This improved our experience immensely)
For those who are price-sensitive and open-minded, AHS is a fantastic option. The value for money is impressive, and the unique experiences offered make it a trip to remember. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to explore Kenya's natural wonders on a budget.

Exciting, thrilling and very delightful. Highly knowledgeable, sincere and reliable
We cannot say enough good things about Kange Safaris. Our trip to was well planned, fun-filled and adventurous. We visited multiple parks like Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth and saw many different animals including elephants, lions and gorillas. We also had a chance to interact and dance with the locals which was a very happy experience.
Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything we saw.
We highly recommend Kange Safaris to anyone who is seeking adventure and an unforgettable experience
