it was a great experience : we have seen a lot of animals and plants.
It was first experience in Africa. The recommended day trips are obviously the NgoroNgoro, Tarangire and Manyare Lake
Very nice tour operators and good accomodations during our holiday.
No problems.

Memorable and peaceful
good accommodations, better arrangement and the best guide. Edwin and Mike as driver and guide are blindly the best. They will make sure that you forget little glitches and go back with a broad smile.

We enjoyed a very nice and good value 4 days Safari
From the first contact RajaTours was always responding to our questions and proposals very quickly with good suggestions and recommendations. The choosen camps and lodges were good in regards to accomodation, food and Service. We especially enjoyed our stay at the Kananga tented camp. The limited time ( 4 hours) in the Ngorongoro crater was definetely too less.
Many thanks to RajaTours and Kili (driver and guide) for this tour - well done!

Best ever trip I ever had in my life so far.
I had planned my trip for Masaimara, Nakuru and Naivasha for my Kenya trip. As I was traveling solo I had a lot of doubt and questions about the safety and so many other things, but from the day 1 I got msg from "Tabitha" from Papio Africa Holidays to day when I reached to meeting point in Kenya to start the safari journey, she has clarified each and every thing so nicely and made it so easy. They have also arranged the pick up from the airport and the person was right there at given timing. And about the tour, we were so lucky to have Antony as our guide, he was amazing driver, even though other were struggling in a rough road, he was just driving confidently without having any issues. He was even so good that he was taking us very close to the animal to get us good picture. After all these also he was so selfless. The only cons in the trip were I have been promised to get 2 sharing tent at masai Mara camp but got 4 sharing as it was peak season and it was still manageable. But the food served in Nakuru was not at all good, they should look into it. Apart from these everything were awesome. If you are looking for a adventurous trip and love for nature, u should definitely visit Kenya once in your lifetime. It's worth going. Book through this agency and try to get Antony as ur guide for an amazing experience. Thanks Tabitha, Antony and Papio Africa tour for giving a amazing experience. All the best in future.

Polite staff and great value
Communications were initially very good and provided an excellent break down of a proposed itinerary. Subsequent communications were not so good and took some time for a response.
The service was great. We got picked up from Nairobi and then driven out to Maasia Mara in a mini-van. We had the van to ourselves and our driver was very polite and knowledgeable. The tented camp that we stayed in was perfect for our needs.
The tour itself was great too. Our driver was polite and knowledgeable and made the trip far better.
In all, a fantastic experience and one that my family will remember for years.

Serengeti magic
We chose the 8 day tour to the Serengeti. It was an unforgettable experience. The local guides through Predators were excellent, the balloon safari over the northern Serengeti astounding and the Leonard's team at the tented camp awesome. A few hiccups here and there which the management of explore Plus handled with aplomb after the tour. The tour assistant was inexperienced. Overall a bucket list experience.

Great experience!
It was a very good safari. We took the option at $ 800 (4 days safari + 2 days hotel in Arusha).
It was in English. We knew it.
Humphreys coordinates the whole thing with Ali. They are very friendly and accommodating. Humphreys found us a free driver for our return to the Kilimanjaro airport in the middle of the night for example :)
To talk about the safari, the first day we did tarangire. Then we went to sleep in a nice camp with "beds" on the heights of Lake Manyara. The program planned to sleep in Tarangire but I think what we did was better because that way we drive less the next day to the Serengeti. Camps correct at Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The cook was excellent. The guide was good even though we punctured 4 times. Fortunately there is a lot of car to help so we have never waited long. The tents are spacious and my bedding comfortable and clean. As a bonus we had 2 bottles of wine offered by the team :)
The negatives that prevent me from putting five stars are:
1 the first day at the hotel dinner is not included and we are made to understand very directly that the tip of 80 (40 guide, 40 cook) dollars per couple is mandatory. It could be interesting for you to simply pay the employees better by letting the customer freer as we were on a safari in Selous
2 Even if it were good, it would be necessary to better train the guides to the knowledge of parks and animals (going further than: "the lion sleeps almost all the time" or "the elephant is a dangerous animal"
3 The program announces 5 game drives but there are only 4 (which is more than enough and I do not know how we could do one more)
In summary I highly recommend because for this price it was still almost perfect! Very good performance compared to the competition.
Thank you !

Timely service
We did a day safari from Dar Es Salaam. The driver was on time and drove us to Mikumi National Park and back to Dar Es Salaam. The Safari tour was great and the services and payment was easy and hassle free

Once in a lifetime experience!
Kevin from Petrichor Safaris was very helpful and open to suggestions. He tailored the entire trip as per our requirements and got us the lodges we had asked for in Masai Mara. It was a good experience and we will surely be reaching out to him in for planning our future kenyan adventures.
