Personalization adds value to your experience
From the moment I arrived in Nairobi and was greeted by Mathew from Bateleur Eagle Safaris, I knew I was in caring and capable hands. Mathew was my in-country contact and was professional and courteous, warmly welcoming me, always politely holding the door and taking care of my luggage. I felt listened to and valued as a visitor to Kenya. Mathew understood how curious I was about the landscape and animals and wasted no time helping me to experience the natural habitat of the African wildlife - from the Rhinoceros we saw in a protected conservation area on the way from the airport, to the personalized trip to one of Africa’s oldest wildlife charities and a leading conservation organisation, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust where I experienced first hand the protection and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants and preservation of habitats in East Africa. My experience was second to none, from the respectful communication and dedicated service, to the genuine interaction and courteous tour guidance, I highly recommend Bateleur Eagle Safaris where you can be sure to enjoy an experience of a lifetime!

Horrible. They blackmailed me.
I booked a private safari of 14 days with Orongai for January 2019.
However, 4 days before the start of my trip they send me an email that the cost of fuel had risen since I booked the tour and I had to pay $ 1,400,- extra immediately!
This is crazy. I checked and found out fuel prices had fallen by 10 per cent instead since I booked the trip. Then I realized I was blackmailed.
Later I found out that more people were blackmailed in a similar way. Check the reviews.
I cancelled the tour, but they did not want to return my money.
Only after the safaribookings.com where they promote themselves blocked them, I received most of money back (not everything), but it was a horrible experience. They ruined my holidays.
These guys are criminals.

Unforgettable safari!
I had an all around amazing experience with Bestday safaris. I did a 6day/5night safari. Organising the safari was easy as Mr Peter always responded to my emails in a timely fashion.
I travelled solo and was the only person on the safari. Joseph was my driver and I had such a great time with him. He was knowledgable, punctual and was phenomenal at spotting hidden animals in bushes/trees etc. We had some hilarious conversations on the drives to the game parks and importantly throughout the experience I always felt safe.
Accomodation was great, service was excellent, the places were very clean and the food was great.
We completed the big 5! :)
Day 1:
Tarangire national park: the park is beautiful and very green in the wet season. I saw countless numbers of elephants, a pride of lions, a leopard hiding in a bush and many other animals
Day 2-4:
Ngorongoro conservation area and Serengeti national park. Had the opportunity to see the masai villages from a far. Witnessed the beautiful landscape in the conservation area. The Serengeti is breath taking it actually looks like what you see in the nature documentaries. There were many wildebeest, zeebra, antelopes. There was a pride of lions on a huge boulder, a lion cub in a tree, 3 cheetahs and we saw another 5 leopards!!!!
Day 5:
Ngorongoro crater is such unique place. It is actually a an animal paradise. zeebras and wildebeest everywhere! Joseph also helped me spot the critically endangered eastern black rhino.
Day 6:
Lake manyara national park offered a variety of species of birds to see, lots of buffalo and countless numbers of baboons.
Thank you again Bestdays safari and especially you Joseph! I would recommend this company to all they helped me a complete a lifelong dream of seeing and photographing African wildlife.

Epic Trip to Namibia and Victoria Falls
A group of 8 friends spent 12 days on an epic lifetime trip travelling to the main highlights (Soussvlei, Dune 47, Big Daddy Dune, Doodvlei, Solitaire, Swakopmund, Etosha National Park) in Namibia and ended our destination at Victoria Falls. The natural untouched beauty of each place is breath taking, magical, extraordinary, amazing, enriching, stunning, majestic, unique and diverse.
David at Wild Winds Safari was the first to respond back after we contacted a number of tour operators. The level service is superb, organized and the booking process was seamless. Communication via WhatsApp was pleasant in that we were able to receive speedy response to our questions from David. Before confirming the booking, David had made sure that we were comfortable with the customized itinerary and that we were satisfied with the accommodations that we were staying at. The vehicle we travelled on was a 11 seater Land Cruiser with a trailer for all our luggage. It was comfortable and spacious. The top of the Land Cruiser opens up so that photographers had an opportunity to take a good shot of the wildlife from above. Due to technical delays with the Ministry of Tourism in Botswana, we had to change vehicle (Toyota Quantum) at the tail end of our trip before entering into the Botswana border. Unfortunately the trailer did not come with the Toyota Quantum so the luggage took up quite a bit of space in the Toyota Quantum so it was not as comfortable as we like it to be on our last leg of our journey.
Our outstanding guide, Rambo, made our trip very special. Rambo is super fun to be with and had lots of experienced. He would go out of his way to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves. He is knowledgeable about the land, plants, birds, animals and history of the country. He gave us a lesson on the stars and we now know how to look for the southern cross. Rambo had extremely sharp eyes in spotting wildlife at far distances and we could hardly see it until we see it through the binoculars. He went out and beyond in making sure that we had a perfect photo and video opportunities for example two giraffes walking across the field at sunset. Rambo became more than just a guide but a very good friend who was there for us. Thank you Rambo for making our trip so memorable and a wonderful experience.
We would highly recommend exploring Africa with Wild Wind Safaris.

Private safari, with an excellent itinerary and impeccable service
I asked Quinton to organize a 2 weeks private safari (wildlife and landscape photography) in South Africa for my family, including a 6 years old kid, and he worked out an excellent itinerary, all in malaria-free zones.
His service as a planner and guide has been impeccable, we had 1st class accommodations in all the places we went to and the locations had been properly selected according to our instructions and requirements; he also managed to accommodate a last minute change we requested during the tour.
He used for the 3 of us a 7 seater car plus a small trailer for the luggage, so that we had plenty of room and comfort.
If you want a truly personalized, luxury service, I can recommend Quinton services without any reservations.
