Winnie is the best
My birthday celebration, expertly organized by Winnie from Royal Star Expeditions, was an absolute delight. From seamless flights and accommodation arrangements to exciting excursions, every aspect exceeded expectations. As a solo traveler, the surprise cake cutting on the Jambojet flight and the luxurious airport transfer in an air-conditioned car were delightful touches. The hotel's spacious rooms, friendly staff, and an unexpected cake after a meal added to the joy. Winnie's meticulous planning ensured three days and two nights filled with unforgettable moments. Grateful to Winnie for making my birthday truly special!

Efficient, easy to deal with and well priced.
The planning and communication with regard to the 17 day escorted tour of Namibia I recently took was excellent. Some lodges exceeding expectations. Our driver Marcus was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. His contribution was a most important factor of the overall success and I would recommend him unreservedly. I was happy with the cost, level of accomodation and activities. The only hiccup I incurred was paying into a Namibian bank account from a UK bank account. UK Banks don’t like this! It was difficult. Not the fault of Blue Crane but something they could look into to help future guests.
Thank you Derek and team for a very memorable holiday. I hope to return and would use your services again.

Amazing safari experience with the nicest team!
My colleague and I did 2days-1night tour with Kihindo Tours. Micheal, our tour guide, is no doubt one of the nicest people ever! He was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions with his smiley face, explained to us a lot about Tanzania and the Tanzanian culture, and of course showed us all the animals we hoped to see. We got so lucky and were able to see lions (even a hunting one), elephants, giraffes, crocodile, hippos,.. and even a leopard! We definitely feel very very lucky to have Micheal as our tour guide!
Winnie had been so nice throughout the whole before-after the tour process. She helped us a lot during the booking, always checked on us if everything was okay during the safari. She even met us at our hotel at 4am when the car came to pick us up!
Peter drove us back to our hotel in Dar Es Salaam. It was really interesting to talk to him as we learned a lot from him about the Tanzanian culture, families, music, etc.
Overall, we highly recommend Kihindo Tours! Very comfortable and friendly service!

My very honest review about a 4 days Safari.
Let's start from the basics:
I am a big review fan, so I take reviews VERY seriously. What you will read in the next lines is 100% my POV.
The tour operator:
I found the agency through the website. I wrote to 3 agencies first and at the end I decided to book through this one, in particular through Noel.
Me and my boyfriend booked a mid-range 4 days Safari through Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
Noel answered very fast, at every hour. He is a reliable operator, who always had the answer to my doubts. He made sure we got the right car on the right moment and everything was planned perfectly. He even came to our hotel after the safari just to see us in person and say hello!! Can you believe that??
The tour:
We had to start with Tarangire but our tour has been changed due to our flight change. It happens, but they made sure we see everything we booked.
I had an amazing time. Like the best vacation of my life, no jokes. An experience I will never forget. Me and the group (6 in total + our guide + our chef) are now friends and promised to see each other again. And that's the best gift an experience can give to you.
But what makes a Safari unforgettable? The right guide. Of you don't get the right guide your expectations can be disappointed.
Our highlight:
If you're seeking a fantastic safari experience in Tanzania, look no further than the guide Luttiba. Ask for him when you book. He just made us bond together. Our adventure through Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to his expertise and dedication.
Luttiba's punctuality ensured we made the most of every moment, even during long drives. His commitment to providing the best experience possible was evident as he navigated the wilderness, offering insights and spotting wildlife with precision.
Beyond his professionalism, Luttiba's humor and respect created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our journey. It felt like exploring with a knowledgeable friend who genuinely cared about ensuring our enjoyment. We laughed, we danced, we shared stories, we got emotional.
In short, Luttiba was truly the highlight of our trip. If you're looking for a guide who embodies everything you could wish for on a safari – reliability, humor, respect, and expertise – Luttiba is the perfect choice.
The food was fantastic also thanks to the Chef David, sich a talented and nice guy, I hope you will have the change to taste his FANTASTIC food.
At the accommodation everybody was nice, we made new friends.
Thank you, Noel, Luttiba and David, for giving us the best time of our lives. We will never forget you.
Asante sana,
hakuna matata!!

I visited Nairobi National park. Was well attended to. Communication was good. The rates were so affordable it was worth it. The tour was very much exiting. We I saw different animals and birds. I loved watching the rhinos at a very close range. Oh and not to forget the monkey that almost snatched my lunch. I recommend Royal Star Expeditions a thousand times

Excellent
I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Royal Star Expeditions to Lake Nakuru National Park and I must say that my experience was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and exceeded my expectations.
First and foremost, the customer service provided by Royal Star Expeditions was exceptional. Right from the moment I made my booking, their staff was prompt and professional in answering all of my queries and assisting me with the necessary arrangements. They were very knowledgeable about the destination and provided me with valuable information and tips to make the most out of my safari experience.
When it came to the actual trip to Lake Nakuru National Park, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The expedition team from Royal Star Expeditions was highly skilled and experienced. They were able to navigate the park with ease, ensuring that we had the best opportunities to spot wildlife and capture breathtaking moments. Their knowledge of the local flora and fauna was impressive, and they provided informative and engaging explanations about the various species we encountered.
The organization and professionalism of the team were also commendable. From the transportation to the accommodation, everything was well-planned and executed flawlessly. Our safari vehicle was comfortable and well-maintained, providing us with a smooth and enjoyable ride throughout the park. The accommodation at Sopa Lodge at Lake Nakuru National Park was fantastic, offering stunning views and comfortable amenities that exceeded my expectations.

Such a warm, friendly welcome to Nairobi. So helpful in every way- highly recommend!
I had such a wonderful experience with Afrikan Accent Adventures. They took care of all of our transfers and experiences on the ground in Kenya. They were so friendly and really took note of what we were interested to see or experience. High level with above and beyond service. We look forward to using them again for an upcoming trip in May. Highly recommend for any trips big or small- they will treat you well.
