Great photo safari at Lake Nakuru National Park
As this was our first stop on our trip to Kenya we did not know what to expect. The accommodations at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge were comfortable and food delicious. We were greeted after each game drive with warm, wet facecloths as we arrived at the lodge. As the nights were cool we found hot water bottles in the bed to warm it up. A surprise the first night but nice to crawl into a warmed bed on a cool evening. The guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable. We did two game drives a day (sun rise and later afternoon) and there was always something new to see. Seeing white and black rhinos was amazing along with lions, baboons, hippos, and many other animals. The weather was just right with 20-23 C in the day and evenings around 10-12 C. My kind of temperatures. As it was a photo safari our guides knew where to go for the best shots. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and definitely would recommend it to others.
great personalized service
My husband and I just spent a week in Tanzania and wanted some physical activity as well as the usual safari experience. Kilidove arranged a day where we did a short hike to a spectacular waterfall and visited a small coffee making operation en route to make our own coffee from scratch.
Our guide went out of his way to make sure we set the pace. The hotels are so nice that it is nice to spend some time enjoying their amenities as well as traveling through the park. We were very happy with the base hotel in Arusha, Planet Lodge - very pretty, great food and excellent service.
I highly recommend Kilidove.

4 day gorilla and golden monkey treks
The gorilla and golden monkey treks are well planned by the park rangers. They segregate the tourists by age and physical fitness, so that everyone benefits from the experience. the slow don't hold up the fast and the aged/slow get to see the wildlife. The gorillas are spectacular, a must see. The golden monkeys were a total surprise, their beauty and the intensity of their eyes. The treks are difficult to the high altitude, but well worth the physicality.

Perfect safari and deep sea fishing
Odyssey safaris provided a life time experience for my wife and I. It began with 2 1/2 perfect days at the Hemmingway resort in Watamu, Kenya. We each caught several species of fish on our day of deep sea fishing, including several sailfish over 100lbs. Wife had the largest of course.
Accommodations in Nairobi were first class at the Safari Park Hotel. Our safari guide provided a good understanding to our group of four of what to expect for the next several days. We were amazed at his knowledge of all aspects of what we saw, not only the animals, but the trees and flowers. His knowledge animal habits allowed him to position our vehicle for the perfect picture.
Kenya is a very safe and friendly country for tourists. The local police, military at the Tanzania border and safari camp guards all provide a comfortable and safe environment.
Communication was very professional and accurate from Odyssey safaris. There were no surprises other than our trip exceeded our expectations. All accommodations were great. Food was prepared by highly trained chefs and we each gained several pounds.
We highly recommend them and we will to all our friends. We will return? Yes

A wonderful guide for a worry free, once in a lifetime adventure.
It's hard to put such an amazing trip into one review. I took a nine day trip with Blessing from Africa Zim. We started in Victoria Falls, went to Kasane, Elephant Sands near Nata, and ended in Maun. To get to each location Blessing drove us safely there, stopping to look at anything I wanted to see. Upon arrival at each destination there it was a relief that he had done all the booking and I didn't have to worry. There was always a comfy bed to sleep in and a preplanned activity like a game drive, river cruise, canoe trip, etc. All I had to do was show up when it was time to start. As a young woman traveling alone, having Blessing was essential. He knew the areas and many people we met. He stayed close and was helpful, but I felt complete freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted. I never felt suffocated but always safe. When I wanted to do something off schedule, like go to tribal beauty pageant or look for the perfect souvenir in town, he was always accommodating, positive, and facilitated it. I could have done without the talk of religion and youtube prophets, but I guess it isn't too surprising in a country that still has blasphemy laws. I especially loved that Blessing was aware of my budget and suggested amazing activities that I would love. When someone would recommend an excursion completely out of my price range he was quick to kindly let me know before I got my heart set. I could see how a millionaire or budget traveler could get the most out of their trip with Africa Zim behind it.

Very professional and friendly service; fulfill all expectations.
We had a wonderful experience with Go Safari. We took a second tour to different location based on our previous experience. That second trip to Kruger Park was as good as the first one.

Exhilarating Experience in Serengeti
Bush & Game provided us with the most amazingly priced and an even more phenomenal experience in Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater!! I have been on several safaris with various handlers, but this 5-night safari camp experience was simply unparalleled!
Will definitely always try to use Bush & Game for all future adventures :)

Review about Tarangire National Park by arif
less animals then serengetti .. so if you are doing northern circuit serengetti is a better option .. but here huge herds of elephants ( we spotted a group of about 40) are spotted which i doubt is spotted anywhere else.. giraffes leopards can also be seen .. it can be a prelude to serengetti and ngorongoro but ceratinly not worth after it

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by arif
its a relatively small area but in little time about 3 to 4 hours you can see all the animals and have a greatest game drive
