11 awesome days with wilderness safari and Zanzibar vacation
Absolutely, here's a glowing review of the 11-day awesome safari and Zanzibar relaxation package:
"I recently had the most incredible 11-day adventure that combined an unforgettable safari experience with a relaxing retreat in Zanzibar, and I can't stop raving about it!
From the moment I started planning with this team, I knew I was in good hands. Their attention to detail and personalized approach made me feel like I was crafting my dream vacation every step of the way.
The safari itself was a true highlight. Over 7 days, I explored the stunning landscapes and wildlife of Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Each day brought new surprises – from witnessing the iconic Big Five animals in their natural habitats to witnessing the breathtaking sight of a wildebeest herd crossing the Mara River. Staying at both mid-range and luxury lodges gave me a taste of different comforts, and the game drives were guided by experts who shared their deep knowledge of the ecosystem.
After the exhilarating safari, I headed to Zanzibar for some well-deserved relaxation. The transition from the wild to the tranquil was seamless. I spent my days unwinding on pristine beaches, enjoying turquoise waters, and indulging in the rich culture of Stone Town. The local cuisine was a delightful discovery, and I found myself strolling through vibrant markets and historic streets with a sense of wonder.
The entire journey was perfectly orchestrated. The blend of adventure and relaxation was just what I needed. And I have to commend the team for their excellent choice of accommodations, seamless transfers, and the warm hospitality that made me feel like a valued guest throughout.
If you're looking for a seamless blend of heart-pounding adventure and pure relaxation, this 11-day safari and Zanzibar getaway is an absolute must. I can't thank the team enough for curating such an unforgettable experience. It's left me with memories that I'll cherish for a lifetime. I'm already thinking about when I can return for another incredible journey!"

Friendly, welcoming, professional.
We had an excellent experience with Ramja Safaris. From the very first contact, Steve was super responsive, informative, and friendly. He responded quickly to all of our many queries and adjusted the programme according to our needs.
Our guide and driver, Peter, was amazing - witty, friendly, and super knowledgeable not only about the wildlife but also about Kenya as a whole. We felt welcome and respected the whole time. A true pleasure to spend three days in Masai Mara with him. We strongly recommend Ramja Safaris services.

A terrible company and one that all travelers should beware of
I have always thought that the second-selling travel agency on SafariBooking has basic service guarantees,！
but I am wrong!
The trip was very bad. I changed three cars and three drivers in a row on the road. I didn't have any notices or reminders before, which made me feel at a loss, and there was no apology and explanation afterwards, especially the last driver was not prepared any water for us and we were all thirsty and unbearable, and we couldn't buy any water. The most exaggerated thing was that the driver was unwilling to take me to the airport. The 7-day itinerary included the last delivery to the airport. He asked me to call Uber by myself!
All future travelers！
please don't be blinded by the so-called sales volume and are blinded by more than 1,000 comments, choose this company carefully, and choose a travel agency carefully!

Golden Trips took enormous effort to provide tailor-made service for our group. From briefing to responsible driving, troubleshooting during the trip until debriefing back in Arusha, the dedication could be felt and made our trip so worthwhile! Special thanks to our knowledgeable driver Edga!

Top notch experienced tour operators
I did a Serengeti and Tarangire safari with my family during October. I was amazed by how this company did to deliver their services, from Joyce who organized our safari to the tour guide who took us to these wonderful parks. He knew where to spot animals also given in depths information about them. I was taken away by the massive bird knowledge he had, I was able to learn a lot and gain awesome awareness. To say the less, you shouldn’t look elsewhere: Book with them!!

10 day Kenya and Tanzania Safari
We really enjoyed our budget safari (6 days Kenya, 3 days Tanzania)and the communication and booking process from super eagles tours was awesome. They even looked into changing our itinerary mid trip. 5 stars for communication
Kenya:
Even though we booked a budget camping safari, the accommodation was really good. We were in a really large tent with a proper bed and private toilet and hot shower. There is not really much point booking anything above budget in Kenya, as you will only really get slightly better food.
For the first 3-4 days we had 8 people in our van even though our tour company promised maximum of 7 and other people in the van tour companies had promised 6. 8 was way too much as not everyone could stand up at one time to look out the top of the van. Everyone was staying at different places as well so with 8 people we spent a lot of time driving to drop all the people off at their accommodation. Sometimes this was up to 1 hour if they were staying in the parks.
There is a lot of driving in this safari, not only doing the safari but getting to the parks. There is more driving on the road than actually driving in the national parks. The tour companies could set it up so that driving is minimised as currently we go all the way down from Nairobi to the Tanzania border for the Masai Mara and then back up past Nairobi to Nakuru and only spent 2 hours safaring there, and then back down to Amboseli near the Tanzania border again. If they started going north of Nairobi to Nakuru first, then it would probably take out at least 1 whole day of driving and we could spend a lot more time at Nakuru as we felt we didn’t get enough time there.
Overall, The guides in Kenya were great and we saw lots of amazing animals. It was really fun, however the driving was getting to us in the middle of the trip and this could be avoided if it was set out better.
Tanzania
We opted for a ten day safari that covered both Kenya and Tanzania. We made this booking in a rush due to other plans falling through, we would probably book differently doing it again.
Since we are a young couple looking for an adventure, and not crazy about photography or animals, we would just do 6-7 day Kenyan safari and then head to Mombasa or Diana beach for few days at the beach. The Kenya side is a lot cheaper and this would take out a lot of driving.
For animal lovers, we would recommend adding on Tanzania, Tanzania is extremely good, It is Kenya on steroids. You see the same animals but just more of them. For example we saw a pride of 20-30 lions in the Serengeti and thousands of wilderbeest which you don’t get in Kenya. The downside is a lot more driving.
Tanzania
The Tanzania safari was great and the wildlife and scenery was next level amazing. We added Tanzania onto our Kenyan safari and spent 3 days on a safari tour.
We chose the budget safari and unlike Kenya the accommodation did reflect this. We were staying tents and had communal bathrooms which is fine for use but something to be aware of when booking. This also meant that the trucks were loaded with food and camping equipment which made it a bit crammed. Even though the facilities were basic the food was still amazing. Note that the chef also needs a tip which we did not know about. A generous tip for this is 10USD per person.
The safaris were awesome, but we felt we didn’t really have enough time to do the Serengeti well, but that is because it is so vast. Ngorongoro crater was amazing but likewise we only had a morning and it was cut short to get some people back to the airport.
For our trip the guide was below average and more of a driver than a guide. He didn’t really talk to us and only did very minimal talking on the safari. We would have liked him to talk about the animals and tell us facts and actually act interested. In Kenya it felt like a group hunt to find the animals which was fun, but in Tanzania is was more just drive and see what you see. The main thing that annoyed us about our guide is that in the last two hours of the trip he started being very friendly and even bought us red bananas, likely because he was about to receive a tip. When we finished we gave him our tip and he preceded to count it in front of us and then ask for more. This was very rude and in our opinion unacceptable, especially when our Kenya guides didn’t even look at the tip but just thanked us.
If there is a set amount to tip then the tour companies need to advise this and be reasonable. It is such a murky territory, and can easily ruin trips for people, when it’s not clear and people have paid thousands to be there.
