Very good Experience!
It was a very good safari. Mr. James was very responsive, always provided quick feedback at the stage of booking and he came personally to pick us from the airport. Safari was organized very well and made some good friends. Our driver was great - special thanks...

The best moments
It was almost perpect. If your travel agent has kept the specified schedule and accomodations. At least, the travel agent should have told me that it can not be changed because of the distance. But Guide had a skillful man. also, Kenya is amazing
space.

Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We booked the Safari for 5 days to visit Tarangire Park, Serengeti Park and Ngorongoro Park. It was a great experience and we are so happy with the company.
We booked a private safari that included a private car, chef and guide. That was a good decision. Both were very attentive to our needs and preferences.
The day before to start the safari, when we arrived to Arusha Airport, a car from the company brought us to the hotel. Afterthat, they came with us to the hotel, where we could ask the last questions before depart the following day.
We chose to sleep in Public Campsites. The Public Campsites are located inside the parks, for this reason you can listen the animals during the night. There the chefs cook and you sleep in tends and sleeping bags. In the Campsites there are toilets and showers, but without hot water. This is the price that you have to pay for sleep in the middle of the park.
During our Safari we could see the Big Five and all kind of animals! Moreover we demanded to our guide to see the sunrise and the sunset and he took us to special sites.
The transfers by car from one Park to another Park were long, but you have another options, like do it by plane.
That was the first Safari and for this reason we had many questions, but the company answered us every questions and the emails.
When the Safari was over, people from the company came to the hotel to do the last feedback and checked that everything was okey. Also they offered to took us to the airport the next day.
That’s a great experience and we are very happy. We could meet other tourists that they had bad luck with their chefs and guides from other companies.
Thanks Orongai for this experience. We will repeat for sure.

Good safari for a very reasonable price
We have very much enjoyed safari with Lenchada Safaris and their guide Joseph. The route was Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Lake Naivasha - Hell's Gate, and we've seen a lot of wildlife and beautiful scenery. The conditions were simple (and we aimed for it, because cool suites are out of our budget), but all the needed things (hot shower etc) were in place. The guide was receptive and knowledgeable. These guys provide very good value for mojney ratio. If you're coming for nature and don't need luxury conditions (which you're going to enjoy just during night's sleep anyway), they're your choice.

A little complicated
There was a misalignment on my expectations (wanted to see the Great Migration) versus what the safari package finally delivered (normal safari not focused on the Great Migration), I had chosen the package I did because it was supposed to focus on the Great Migration.
I have to admit that despite the misalignment of expectations I saw a lot and I have done a couple of safaris before in other countries.
Meru Slopes is a very good safari provider, just make sure you discuss the details before deciding on a package.
P.D. They offered a quick and good service recovery (discount on a future tour) once they realized that I was not entirely happy with the service they delivered.

Great experience ever
I started looking for a safari tour on Safari bookings.com and we got offered from several companies but Kikwetu Cultural Adventures is quick enough and good responses to us also great offer.
By the way in this great offer but less reviews made us wonder if it’s a real company or really have this company so today I will tell you guys they are real and will share my experienced.
Kenneth is great responses also their service is very good but their vehicles are painful. They are very old and not comfortable at all.
We bought 10 days 9 nights include Hot Sir ballon package.
First they come to pick us up at the airport with a very old vehicle and all trip with a Toyota van. I’m not mind old cars if they are still works and comfortable seats. In Nairobi we selected walking tour and our guide very good and knowledge. I forgot his name. I have to say people here are nice and friendly but sometimes they are just very hard sell.
After one day in Nairobi we went to Samburu National Reserve and stay at Ashnill Samburu Lodge. Our driver and guide for our all trip is name Masaga. He is well knowledges and took us to see like us requested. We never miss any good ones, very impressed. In this reserve gave me feeling like I am in Jurassic Park movies. Very cool! We saw giraffes, lions, lioness, elephants, monkeys, baboons, chetahs, zebras and many more. We stayed here for two days.
Then we went to Ol Pajeta Reserve. This Reserve have so many zebras and we saw super big rhinos here. Our lodge is Jumbo Mutara Camp. Very beautiful lodge I had stayed in Kenya ever but their service was ok. We stayed here only one day and head to Abebare National Park. In this NP mainly we saw many elephants as we stayed at Tree Top hotel. The elephants came here to eat pink salts and drink water.
Next day we had super long ride and painful road to Masai Mara. But when we are there, we just forgot how tired we are after we saw super beautiful savanna of Masai Mara and amount of wilderbeats crossing the river also many of animals. We stayed at Ashnill Masai Mara, saw many hippos and crocodiles in the river just in front of the lodge!
On the way back to Nairobi we stop at the Masai village. I don’t think they really live here. Seems just for tourists to see.
So I have to say if you are looking for great safari experience in Kenya, I would recommend this company if you are not mind about the old vehicles.
Last I would like to thanks Masaga (our driver and guide). He is the best and would like to thanks Kenneth that you tried to served us best.

Good and cooperative
Stephen and the big boss Elias are very nice I took a 3 days safari to Masai mara but kindly take atleast 5 days tour b coz 2 Full days goes in travelling itself...
Few tips for travellers
Take a 4*4 veichle instead of van b coz ground clearance very low and can’t reach in many routes
Ensure your veichle has an Air conditioning and operative b coz your whole body will be covered by dust road from Masai from narok is very poor
They have a free pick up but ensure it’s within their radius from airport other wise u should pay extra
Our camp was good but was outside jungle still try to stay inside the jungle if you are with family for night safaris
Take a camera with night vision big lens to spot animals, binocular,and snacks and some emergency medicines
Take drinking water with u only 1 liter
free per day
Enjoy your trips

Good choice for tailor made safari in a reasonable price
Emmanuel was very communicative and efficient preparing the tour and replying immediately all our doubts. He tried to respond to all our special requests. Morris, our driver, was very professional, careful and cheerful. Driving in Uganda is not easy and Morris did a great job. Only, we learnt that we had to draw information about what is next and how to get dressed for each part of the trip. Some of the lodges Emmanuel had chose for us originally were replaced without consulting us but, anyway, we didn't have high expectations, so we weren't disappointed either way. When they promise hot showers and WiFi they have a wide definition for that. Over all, We enjoyed the safari very much, the vehicle, the people, the animals were great and we highly recommend the boat safaris. We took 3 and they were the highlights of our trip.

Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara
I'm a solo traveler and joined 4-Day Safari to Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara with another group. That's very nice experience to saw many kinds of animal in both the National parks with animal life information from George and Alan (guides). It would be better if travel with the Land Rovers :)
I missed only leopard in BIG 5 animal family so I need to go back again :)
I stayed in Nakuru City Max Hotel for 1 night and the budget camp in Enchoro wildlife camp in Masai Mara area for 2 nights. I didn't have the early morning game drive before leaving as showed in the proposal because the group need to go to another national park and I didn't go with them as I come back to Nairobi.
Last, I found something would like to open my camp door in early morning around 4 AM on the last day so until now I still don't know what is it.

We are happy to have travelled with a professional staff
Communications: We didn't have internet for the most part of the tour, so it was difficult to contact them and we receveid our flight tickets to Livingstone only the day before departure
Safari: Excellent and fantastic guide (Victor). Above expectations
