Budget, short, but a complete safari experience
I took the 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Joining Safari. Esther was very attentive and responsive to emails. Kenya Budget Safaris work with experienced driver/ guide. Our driver/ guide, Patrick, has been leading safari tours for 10 years hence is very skilful in navigating the park and packaging a complete game drive. We not only saw wild animals but also witnessed their stories as they are developing in front of our eyes.

Abundance of wildlife and beautiful scenary
Kenya is the birthplace of Safari for a reason. There are so many different parks, where you have the possibility to go on a safari. All the parks offer geat game drives and the scenary is beautiful. Even the lesser known national parks are home to lions, leopards, cheetah and so many other animals. So it's worth spending a bit more time and not only go for the most famous parks, especially since Kenya is a little bit more affordable than other countries. We had a super guide for two weeks, who was so friendly and passionate about his job. It made the whole experience very enjoyable.

Wild
When we went on our very first game drive, we saw the Big 5!
Greenfire Game Lodge was absolutely immaculate and a great deal for the price! The food was amazing, the staff was all extremely nice, friendly, and helpful, and the game drives were unmatched!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Tina Case
The Serengeti experience was a nice change from the Ngorongoro Crater. The vegetation and the landscapes provided a different background for the wildlife. We saw a group of elephants grazing in the savannah which was breathtaking. The vastness of the Serengeti was amazing from the Hot Air Balloon ride we took (Serengeti Balloon Safaris) and one of the highlights of our 2-week stay. We ate a traditional English breakfast underneath an iconic acacia tree which was just incredible. The people, the sites, the wildlife were amazing. It was a trip of a lifetime.

It has been a really amazing trip.
Everything has been amazing! The country is un-contaminated and beautiful. People are very friendly. We, me and my 3 daugthers have been driving 3300 km from which 2100 on unpaved roads in 15 days. If you are an experienced driver and you do not have any rpoblem to drive 4 or 5 hours at the time, it is recommended to drive on your own. We did Kalahari, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Brandberg, Etosha South, Etosha East, Cheetah view logde Waterberg region, Okonjima nature reserve, Windhoek. We stayed for 14 nights in Namibia and this is the minimum you need. The best lodges we stayed at were Sossusvlei logdes, Mokuti (amazing) Okonjima plains camp. Food is excellent if you are not a vegetarian.
Our trip was organised by Five Stars Tours and Safaris, by Mandy. You do no have to look any further!!! Everthing was perfect and there were many positive surprises, like kayaking witht the seals Furthermore Mandy will prepare you a very competive offfer without making any compromise on the best locations and lodges available. My opinion is that in four people we have safed at least € 3.000 to € 4.000, compared with other big travel organisations, from which I received quotations. The car rental company was Namib's Roos Car Rental. We had the best possible car Toyota 4x4 Hilux DC 2.4 TD. (do not safe money on the car and insurances!) Also the guys were amazing and should be definitly recommended. Full explanation about the car, gas stations, tyre pressure change etc. One last remark. Namibia is very poor. You can drive tens of km without meeting anybody, just some men or kids with goats. When you stop to ask them if they need something, they just ask for water!!! (not for water) Please bring a lot of bottles of water and distribute them when you meet these poor people in the desert!!

Ngorongoro Crater is a Tanzania MUST-DO with exceptional landscapes and wildlife
In the two-weeks that my small tour group was in Tanzania, we spent over a week in and around Ngorongoro Crater. We saw the wildebeest migration, lots of zebras, lions, giraffes, cape buffalo, cheetahs, wart hogs, hyenas, various birds and more. Our guides were the best, spotting the wildlife and in constant communication with other drivers and guides to show us the best sites and wildlife. The various campsites we stayed were 5-star quality with wonderful staff, great meals, hot showers and conveniences that made our stay so memorable. While we had a few rainy days, it was all part of the experience. I took over 8000 photos that have been edited to about 2500 wonderful images. I was part of a photo safari that guided us through some of the best images for my portfolio. This trip has peaked my interest in Africa, wanting to learn more about Tanzania, its people, and about the endangered animals (elephants, rhinoceros) that shape the wonderful Ngorongoro and surrounding Serengeti areas.

Great safari to Masai Mara with a perfect organisation and perfect driver
Very good and quick Chat by email in advance; all questions were answered properely. Very good organization throughout the Safari. Our Driver John did a perfect Job: very carefully in driving due to rainy season and excellent guide in the wildlife. Accomodation in the tent was Basic but ok and clean; Food provided good. All day gamedrive was perfect with a petty picknick in the middle of masai mara.

Kenya is truly magical!
I had a wonderful week in Kenya! I got to experience vibrant Nairobi during the work week and then an unforgettable weekend on a Masai Mara safari. It is a truly magical place rich in culture and nature!

Camping in the delta
I spent a few days with Afrika Ecco Safaris in the delta, this was a very well organized trip with a great campsite, nice tents with private bathrooms! and a fantastic group of people making our stay unforgettable. Everyone, the guides, the cook, people helping on the campsite were so very nice and really well informed (and proud!) on their delta. We did some great trips in the Mokoro-boats, including a sun-down, a bushwalk and just cruising the delta. I have the best memories of this part of the world and the people welcoming us in their home. I would certainly go back!
