Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Alda
Lake Nakuru was lovely and had many rhino. I was there over 20 years ago and recall it being pink with flamingos. This is no longer the case.
(it may have been the time of year).
Recommended tour
We just finished the Hemingway Safari which was loads of fun plus we made new friends on this trip who will likely become lifelong buddies. Good value for money!

Great all-round and last-minute camping safari
Last September we decided we wanted to go on a last-minute safari. We found a great one with lodges with another tour-operator, when Marjon from Caracal emailed me with an offer we couldn't refuse; A three day safari with tents. No lodges, no big tented camps, just small iglo tents on a campsite. As I had already experienced that my preference goes out to these kinds of safari's the choice was an easy one, we chose Caracal! We were picked up by one of the owners of the company and handed over to our very good guide, Max. Max did a very great job in making the trip "holistic". Of course we excited to see the big five (and so we did), but Max also teached us a lot about the less popular flora and fauna of the different national and conservation parks we visited. Along the way we saw many bored safari guides who just pointed out the umpteenth Simba or Tembo, but Max showed us the whole ecosystem, and every one of them with great energy and cute little anecdotes! Best. Safariguide. Ever.
Afterwards, Max dropped us of near Kilimanjaro. What a service!

serengeti-great migration-lake natron-ngorongoro 9 days camping/budget safari
We spent 9 days with our guide/driver Felix around northern Tanzania, for a total amount of 1152 euros.
The first night he picked us up in Kilimanjaro airport and took us at his home place. the next 4 days we have been in Serengeti NP, 2 in Seronera public campsite and 2 in Lobo Public campsite (which I liked the most, being much less crowded and truly wilder than Seronera!), accompanied by Felix and Gaspar, the cook (who was so kind to cook separate vegetarian meal for me every day). from Lobo we moved to Kenya border to see the Great Migration of the Gnu..which we were so lucky to spot: it was amazing. Afterwards we traveled by car to Lake Natron, where we spent 2 nights in a peaceful and beautiful campsite, enjoying the waterfalls, the Masai villages and a visit to the lake, where the flamingo breeding season was going on, guided by a friendly local guide. The last two days we moved to Ngorongoro Crater NP, sleeping in a small guesthouse in Karatu, together with 4 other friends which joined the safari just for the NgoroNgoro trip. While this accommodation in Karatu was small and uncomfortable, the trip to Ngorongoro was really worthwhile, most of all for the sightseeings. During the whole safari we had the chance to spot almost all the most wanted animals of the savanna: lots of lions, a leopard, a few jackals, ienas, thomson gazelle, antelopes, Topi,zebras, giraffes, a couple of Rhino from faraway, other herbivores and lots of different birds.
despite we broke and changed the tire for three times during the first single day,moving from Arusha to Serengeti, Felix proved to be an experienced and good driver in the following days, driving us safely along the dirt roads of the parks. We finally ended our tour in Moshi, together with the 4 friends who joined us the day before.
Unison safari proved to me to be a good and safe budget option to visit Tanzania.
Exceeded expectations, in most aspects but not perfect.
We visited a tented camp in the Serengetti, then stayed at a very upmarket hotel to visit the Ngorongoro crater. The objective of the safari - interacting with the animals was definitely achieved with a considerable wow factor. Service was excellent, from the initial contact with Judith to the guides and staff at both locations. The tented camp is better than the fixed locations as a great experience. The hotel was disappointing in terms of value and the Ngorongoro part could have been structured better. Yes, I do recommend Asilia.

Monika was extremely helpful in preparing our trip in Zim. Her recommendations were perfect! Thanks
The selected lodges were fine, especially Miombo Lodge with its animated water pool, full of elephants & buffalos. Thanks Monika also for the reservation of the Isuzu Big Horn 4WD at a reasonable price. The whole trip worked out as planned. The Safari Source is a reliable company.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Ray
Good to see the different species compared to the south of the country, but would not make this a priority.

If you are in Nairobi and do not have a chance to go on a safari this is a must.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Ray
I used to go regularly when the flamingos were there. To see over one million flamingoes on the lake was an incredible site. Unfortunately the flamingos are no longer there and probably better to go to Naivasha and take a boat out to Crescent Island.
