Review about Amboseli National Park by Narayan
Great- with snow-capped Mt Kili in the background and lots and lots of elephants and other animals. Sighted lions eating a zebra in a bush quite far away.

Unique wildlife viewing experience from THE ARK
We stayed overnight at THE ARK which is situated in Aberdare NP (about 6000ft above sea level). The lodge is superb with a waterhole in front, flood lit at night. There was a lot of greenery around. We were locked inside the lodge as it was dangerous to go out since wild animals roam freely. Cape buffalos, antelopes, warthogs, jungle pig and ducks were sighted from the afternoon when we arrived. Herds of elephants (lots) started arriving during evening for water and salt (which was strewn in the open area). They stayed till late night. Hyenas came during night and a pack of them even attacked a cape buffalo, close to our room. The lodge staff, through a buzzer, let us know which animal has arrived at night . The viewing lounge is excellent with full glass panes and good seating arrangements, so is the food - and the talk about Aberdare NP. Additionally there were bird feeding and wild cat feeding sessions- both enjoyable. Sunrise with Mt Kenya on the side, is a sight to behold. All up, a unique experience in viewing wildlife. Travellled through Kenya Budget Safaris- tour guide excellent. Staff of THE ARK also very good and helpful.

Unforgettable experience
I had 5 days of Safari and I loved the service. The driver and guide (Hassan) was extremely funny and terrific once he had a great knowledge and led us to the best places so that we could see many animals. The only negative point for me was the food that was served during the gameplays. In general, the experience was unforgettable.

Bucket list come true
I found myself unexpectedly in Nairobi, originally I had come to Kenya for a medical mission trip but had gotten ill and had to cut short my time there. I love to do wildlife photography and wanted to see Nairobi national park and Amboseli National Park before I had to leave. I contacted. Wilson at Masai Mara train .He was available to do both safaris, he made the arrangements on short notice and I appreciated his flexibility. He was my guardian angel. As a woman traveling alone and having some physical limitations. Wilson was very accommodating. . I told him the kind of pictures I wanted, he and Rufus were so knowledgeable about the animals and the environment and very patient, making sure I was satisfied with the pictures. They even helped another traveler who was stranded. I was so excited to see Mt. Kilamonjaro and so many different animals. I was able to visit Tsalvo west Nation park,Nairobi National Park and Amboseli national park. Each was spectacular, beautiful and different. If I make it back to Kenya, Masai Mara is next on my list!

An amazing experience
I and my wife spent three days in Murchison Falls. Although being in the dry season, the park was full of game mainly on the shores of Nile River. I guess that during the wet season the scenery might be greener. Our camp lodge was very comfortable, calm and with an incredible view of the sunset sinking into the Nile. The staff has worked efficiently. Our guide from Cheetah Wildness Safaris was always attentive. I strongly advise navigate the Nile. The falls are powerful.
One of the best experiences of my life
My boyfriend and I did a three day camping safari to Manyare, Ngorogoro and Tarangire in December 2014 leaving from Arusha. Our driver, Abdul, was incredibly knowledgable and was able to answer all our questions. He also ALWAYS managed to get us in the best positions to see all the animals and in the three days we managed to see pretty much everything. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone. The campsite we stayed up was spectacular, the amenities were very clean and the chef made sure we were never hungry (and the food was delicious!).

Kilimanjaro tour-Lemosho route
We had an excellent trip going up on mount Kilimanjaro. Beforehand good communications with Desiree, equipment checking done by our guides Jeromy and Samuel. Everything we had expected came true....sunny weather, rain, cold, ice. The tents were fine, food bij cook Alpha was surprisingly good and all the time we had the idea that our guides had everything under control. The summit attempt was great and in the end a wonderful spectacle: watching the sun rising on mount Kilimanjaro. Many thanks to Desiree and Fay. We can surely recommend Afroriginal Tours to everyone.

June is perfect for Victoria Falls. For safari, Hwange was good but definitely try out Chobe
We did one full day in Hwange and 1 full day in Chobe safari (all within driving distance of Victoria Falls by 1-2 hrs).
The Zambezi sunset cruise and Victoria Falls are clearly the highlights. If I were to choose safari again, I would do Botswana Chobe another day.
