Cheap and safe? Not impossible.
My wife and I had an amazing 5 days safari (Lake Natron - Serengeti - Ngorongoro) with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We saw the beginning of big migration, lots of animals and some hunting scenes.
Guide/driver was experienced and had a very good sight. Cook prepared our dinners by 4 different local meals!
We were always easy and safe, both in the vehicle and in our tent, because guide and cook were very careful of us. So, starting at the end of June and sleeping in tents, we had very great value for money. We strongly recommend Kili Slope!

Amazing experience!
I did a 11 days safari with It Started in Africa and it was a fantastic experience! I went to Kenya and Tanzania and it was a wonderful experience that i will never forget. I was doing a safari alone and also a world traveller so it was a big challenge and they succeed!
Starting for Joao, he is extremly patient and he explained me everything! When i was planning my tour i sent him over than 50 emails and he answer me each time with all the info and very kind. He did his best to meet all my expectations!
Kenya
Guide: Simon is the best guide!, really. He is very respectful, punctual, kind, patient and has the best eye!!! I had the chance to witness so many things thanks to his patience, I saw lions coupling, I saw lions, hienas, buffalos and elephants fighting together, we saw a cheetah on a tree, etc. I saw all the animals without being hurry up. He just turned off the engine and let me enjoy, believe me: we stopped for 30 min watching animals. I also saw the other guides and not all have that amount of patience, they wait 5 minutes and after that go. He also suggested to go to naivasha, it was a great experience, we took the boat and I walked on the island, superb! He also suggested a visit to a Masai village and I really enjoyed! Simon is the best guide, you can trust him any person or group, they will not be disappointed. Ask for him, his is the best!
All the lodges were perfect, they made a mix between the tented camps and some luxury and it was more than perfect, everyday was a new surprise and adventure, loved it!
- Enkerende: Cristina, the owner and Luis, the manger, made my stay really cozy, I felt at my home, we dinner together and talked about Africa and many many things, both were really kind and welcoming. Its perfect to stay there because they have almost all the animals around and you can be very near from them, love it!
- Siwa bush lodge: The guys were amazing! I arrived after a long day and they took the dinner to my room. I had wifi so I was very happy! The room and the bath were perfect! The best food I ate in Kenya, also the picnic!!!
I went to Masai mara, you must go! Also visited lake Naivasha, the boat ride is a new experience and i walk in the island is a unique experience. I visited lake Nakuru and there you can find White rhinos very near! Finally we arrived to Amboselli and the landscape is very different and the elephants are so big!
Tanzania
Guide: Chicho is really funny! He is always happy and is a good person, with so many dreams and joy for life, if you are lucky and he is your guide you will laugh a lot. I was looking for the climbing lions on the trees and he found them! Also i want to wath a big male lion with a big mane and he found it. He is awesome!
All the lodges were perfect but you MUST stay in Ang ata, the experience is unreal!!! You have to do it, in Serengueti you will sleep in the middle of the plains! The staff is the best, they will take care of you and you will feel completly safe. In Ang Ata Ngorongoro you will have the best dinner in Africa and also a luxury experience!
I went to Serengueti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro.
Of course i saw the big 5!!!

greatly exceeded expectations
From the moment we walked out of the airport until we were dropped off to depart, our stay was incredibly well managed throughout.
Our guide Paul was amazing the entire time, from his suggestions for activities to his selection of restaurants to his extremely knowledgeable narration of our game drives.
The accommodations selected for us ranged from good to excellent with most being towards the latter. The service, food, accommodations and views were consistently exceptional at every place we stayed.
While the company is named for Gorilla tours, the Gorilla trek was ultimately a small part of what was ultimately an amazing and varied encounter with a wide range of amazing wildlife and environments.
At the end all four of us were very sad to leave such an incredible country and our incredible guide, Paul.

Professional, prompt and accommodating!
From day 1 Wildebeest Safari was helpful. Noah provided us with the peace of mind needed before we flew out from our home destination to Nairobi. Once we arrived we were in the hands of our tour driver Eustace who for 4 days showed us the most memorable and unforgettable sights with gracious hospitality. I highly recommend Wildebeest Safari, as a first timer to Kenya, they made me want to be back!

thoroughly enjoyable with flawless execution from Chris.
I was not completely aware that this would be a road adventure through a magnificent desert landscape. ( my faulty for not paying attention ).The animals encountered played second fiddle to the country. Chris had organized a series of accommodations to excite and delight in every way. It would have been a much poorer trip without his bubbly personality and depth of local knowledge. Not to mention his ingenuity in a crisis.
I would highly recommend Chris and his Company to anyone that will listen. I have started beating that drum already.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Karla Laguna
I saw the White rhinos very near! Also is a place to watch flamingos, ask before if they are closer to watch, because in some cases they are far.

You will see the biggest elephants! Their horns are huge and the landscape is really interesting.
