Once in a lifetime experience!
My first time in Africa and a very, very unforgettable trip! Luchi, Fred, and Danny were amazing.......we were a crew of 10 and they made sure that we were safe and had the experience of a lifetime! A very professional crew with the knowledge and experience to give us all the trip that we will be raving about for many years to come!
Thank you

A fabulous trip! Saw the Big Five!
We had a great experience with Seven By Far in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Diani Beach and Nairobi, thanks to Sylvester and his team. The value they provided was greater than any other company offered - including baloon safari, complimentary hotel in Nairobi, lunch at Carnivore, etc. Everything was arranged flawlessly. Though I have to say more responsiveness and proactive communication before the trip could have reduced some headache and frustration. This is the only improvement area. Travellers with family/ children don’t like uncertainty. Let them know every detail proactively before the trip. Don’t make them ask the same question multiple times.

The perfect taste of Kenyan culture & safari
Joseph and his team were fantastic from the moment we even decided to book a trip to Africa! Even while we were in the states, he answered our questions and guided us through the perfect safari planning.
As soon as we landed, we were taken care of. The staff was friendly, engaging, educational and timely. They became more than just guides; they became friends.
The safari vehicles were comfortable and spacious. Our guide always made sure we had an endless supply of water. And that our vehicle had the best views!
The two tented camps that Mufasa Tours booked for us were fabulous. The camp staff was beyond friendly, the accommodations were comfortable and the surroundings were beautiful and safe.
The only recommendation I have is that, if you plan to go to another country in addition to Kenya, ask around about the border process. Joseph did as much as he could to help but not all Kenyans know the exact process for crossing into Tanzania (and vice versa). This can be a stressful process so try to be as prepared as possible.
I would definitely book with Mufasa Tours again! Thank you Joseph, Joseph, Rueben, and Medy!

Friendly and trained personell
Ok, but 7 hours drive in a car with no AC and uncomfortable seats should be mentioned when booking. The safari was great, but when the car limits our trip around the park (crossing of river not possible), it's a pity, and we didn't get to go all over the park. The stay at Loyk was awesome, and the food great!

Great experience!
The Karibu Safari experience was amazing! The organisation, drive, accommodation conditions, food - everything was fine and we really enjoyed the trip! The only thing which was missing, was the guides better communication towards us. He was kind and helpful, but he was more our driver than guide. We would expect more information's and talk about the animals. Sometimes we also had the feeling we saw the animals faster than he did, he almost never advised us about them :( But still - we recommend the safari trip with Karibu Safaris! :)
It was convenient and well arranged thus very comfortable
The booking and visa applications perfectly done . Hotel bookings perfectly done in terms of reception and stay. The buses used to transport good but better can be done. Communication in terms of tour guide well but a more explosive person in terms of communication skills . The potter of the buses person relations needed with high respect towards the client. He didn’t portray this . The company can be recommended far to other clients . Overall high. Response to bookings perfect thanks Dennis for this

Africa Zim travel were very attentive and hands on taking over when a major uk company let us down.
Blessing and Pamela treated us like friends making our arrangements before and during our stay and providing transport themselves. Most of our communication was by email, which was usually answered very quickly. They exceeded our expectations.
We organised the main element of our trip with African Horse Safaris at Macatoo in the Okavango Delta, who were excellent. Our stay on the Chobe River was interesting.The driven safari there was more like a crowded trip through a commercial game park but the River Cruises were excellent and a wonderful relaxed way to get close to the game. Blessings booked us into Phezulu lodge for our stay at Victoria Falls, which was like a small modern motel with its own pool and bar and suited us for the end of our trip.

Affordable and reliable Safari tour
I and my boyfriend did the 7 days Safari tour in December 2019 and we are really happy with the experience. It was our first Safari.
We saw a lot of different animals and environments, doing several interesting extra activities (we suggest mountain biking in Hell's Gate, boat tour in Nakuru and The Masai Village visit). Our driver/guide Jeff was exceptional: he was friendly and helpful, with long-standing experience. Please note that some accommodations/meals in the budget safari (the one we chose) are quite basic and sometimes a bit wild (like the tented camp in Amboseli)... but of course, that's part of the adventure ;)
Also, it was positive to us the fact that communications with Big Time Safari Ltd, before our arrival in Kenya, were constant and clear: Martha has been very patient in answering all our questions, satisfying our requests (like the presence of vegetarian meals) and evaluating with us different Safari tour options.
