very impressive trip with great service
Fika did an excellent job in offering a wheelchair accessible, tailor made safari. Fika was flexible. It was even possible to do a balloon safari above the Masai Mara.

Hakuna Matata
Rose and her team created a worry-free, two-week, life-changing experience for my first safari. I spent the majority of my research time looking for the right tour company. Once I found Rose, the whole thing was booked in three days. She absolutely "got" what I was after as an experience, but also took care of every logistical detail and booking. As they say, Hakuna Matata (no worries). I never bothered to check my itinerary once I arrived, knowing everyone was taking care to get me where I needed to be. It was exactly what I needed-to be freed from the responsibility of arranging flights, bookings, etc. Rose took care of all of that seamlessly for me, allowing me to relax and enjoy the safari experience.
Rose made an extra effort to take care of me since I was traveling solo, informing the camps and making sure I had the best in accommodations, meals, and guides for game drives. She listened to the type of experience I was after and matched me with perfect locations. She also knew the rhythm of a two-week trip, and made sure to bookend the experience with peaceful, relaxing, and luxurious camps to unwind, get over jet lag, and enjoy the holidays.
Many times during the trip I said, "I love Rose" or "Rose is amazing." I loved every camp (4 total) I stayed in-each with it's own terrain, animal viewing, and staff personalities. I completely trusted in her to create this trip for me, and I can't wait to plan my next one with her! Thanks Rose!

Easy to work with and reasonably priced
I had earlier put this review down, am resending though...
I used this tour operator for a short fly-in safari to the maasai mara.
I found them to be honest and very easy to work with.
All correspondence before our trip was seamless. Although the game drives were provided by Olanana Safari camp, all the arrangements including flights and transfers were handled by e-travel without any glitch.
I got a very competitive price for the 3 night safari to Maasai mara, (cost was very important with the Leu dipping sharply against the US $ :) )
Would recommend them to anyone planning on taking a Kenyan safari.
P.s. I will be contacting you shortly for I am planning on visiting Kenya again with my extended family in June.

Amazing Safari with Maasai
We had an amazing five day Safari with Maasai over Xmas. Mohammed our guide was so knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and a superb driver. He really knew his stuff and always seemed to get us to right place at the right time. We covered a distance of 2500 km over the five days but it was fine as we saw literally every animal possible and had such a great adventure. All of the lodges we stayed in were fantastic, great staff and great quality accommodation. I would really recommend this company very highly, and thanks to Mohammed for making our trip so fantastic.

Amazing Gorilla Tracking Experience with having very flexible and helpful Tour Guides
After having some incidents with the booking agency, the tour operator intensively supported me in finding a solution and making the gorilla tracking tour take place.
The moutain gorilla tour has definitely been the absolute highlight of my two weeks tour in East Africa. In Uganda, I have met the friendliest people ever giving me a very warm welcome to their country Uganda.
Regarding the tour itself everything was very well organized and managed. If you are coming to meet a gorilla, look into his face you really see how they express their feelings and the moment you look into their eyes you become clear that the gorillas are very similar to us.
Knowing that they are an endangered species and there are only a few spots left where they still exist results in the fact that it is a MUST to visit those unique creatures.
I would like to thank Gatatu Safaris for making this experience possible and would highly recommend them at any time.

Karumuna Safaris The way to go
If you are thinking about travelling to Africa, most especially Uganda, Karumuna Safaris is the right way to go. Not only is Richard (Karumuna Safaris) a friendly man but a very trustworthy one at that. We booked and travelled with him in November for a 3 day Kibale Chimps trekking tour and we still talk about the experience right now. While we were in Uganda, he took care of each and every need of ours and he is a person i would gladly book with again. We saw chimps, birds, baboons and had a crater lake experience like no other. He has a vast knowledge about the parks and animals, has good connections with park rangers and hotels. Beautiful communication, beautiful country, beautiful people. This trip exceeded my expectations. Thank you Richard, thank you Karumuna safaris for the best holiday me and mybfriends have ever had.
