Fantastic experience, we saw more animals than I ever expected to see
For me the highlight was Serengeti where in one day we saw more than 60 lions and on the second day a pair of cheetahs, as well as giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes, impala, and elephants so close you could touch them
We had a fantastic guide, Joseph from Bestday Safaris, and we saw Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Manyara National parks in a 6 day tour.
I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Unforgettable experience with great safari driver
We (couple) booked 7 days safari (2nights in Masai Mara <with hot air balloon "highly recommended"> , 1 in Lake Nakuru, 1 in Lake Naivasha and 2 nights in Amboseli).
Communication was very easy with immediate response. we agreed with Robert from office to pick up from the airport (one day before safari) with full day trip in Nairobi. It was great. The driver was just a driver not a tour guide.
The next day, he pick up from the hotel to start the safari with "Edward Lore" a great driver and tour guide. He was friendly, answered all the questions. It was a budget safari and we really enjoyed the whole experience. The accommodations are basic but fit to the purpose, except in Amboseli (Kimana Camp) which was really terrible. But Edward help us to find another camp in late hour (about 12 AM) where we have spent the 2 days. For vehicle, we were 7 in Masai Mara & Nakuru, after that only 2 couples.
In the last day, we agreed with Edward to drop us in Emali to get the train to Mombasa.
Finally, it was unforgettable experience with very friendly people. Thanks a lot.

Great experience, flexible and helpful team
I had a chance to book my Maasai Mara safari via the Lilac Adventures team. Entire team was very flexible and helpful while organising this on a very short notice. It was unforgettable experience to see Masai Mara park and all the wild life.

Expectations Exceeded
I saw more animals than I had anticipated. At times it felt surreal. Weather in July was perfect. It was not too hot, nor cold. Accommodations the safari provided were okay. It varied from place to place. Our guide Edward was excellent. The safari set-up felt unorganized at times but I would still recommend it.

An experience of soul
It was a great experience, african people is kind e reliable, with a very big heart. Looking at wild life was like be in a documentary. The people is very friendly, sometimes in local villages you would live the diversity of “white man” as source of income, don’t stop at their need of dollars and open your heart! The food mainly cooked like soup, and based on meat, vegetables , a lot of banana, rice and Spices.
The accommodation in safari was camping , excellent experience, our guide and our chef did everything to make us feel good.

Trip of a lifetime
I booked my tour with Kiah. My trip exceeded my expectations. The price was fair, the lodges AMAZING, transportation timely...the trip was flawless with zero unexpected problems or delays. I spent 8 days on safari on the Eastern Cape at three lodges, all unique. My first lodge was River Bend Lodge. The guide there was knowledgeable about all species including birds and there were many. The best experience there was the elephants. The food there was gourmet and the service outstanding. My second lodge Kariega River Lodge had a traditional feel. The guide there went out of his way to please. The food was good. The setting beautiful. My favorite of the three was Pumba River Lodge. It was a "designer" lodge with an amazing room, unbeatable. However the main reason this was my favorite was the abundance of game....I saw all of the Big 5 and more. It was also a beautiful setting. I would like to commend Kiah for a flawless and wonderful trip. She went out of her way to meet my specific needs.

good
1.the only pity thing is that we did not see wildbeast crossing the mara river.
2.very good hotel and tent during the whole journey. But the hotel in Bogoria (Lake Bogoria Spa Resort)I have to say that is too bad, we are shocked. Too many flies around food and too many bugs inside room. Very dark and crowded and noisy lobby
3. dusty road between those main destination
4.very professional guide Join of African Horizons

Nature's Wonderland Safaris is an excellent safari company - it will meet your expectations, and mor
Our safari with Nature's Wonderland Safaris was, right from the beginning, full of adventure and surprises - all of which were outstanding. The safari was well-organized, and well-designed for our needs. It ran very smoothly. Joseph Mwangi, our Excellent Guide and Excellent Birder, sent us an itinerary outlining what we should expect to see, and where we would be staying. We travelled to a number of different areas of Kenya, all of which proved to be good wildlife viewing sites. The food and accommodations were very good, the leadership and expertise of our guide, Joseph, and our driver, John, were excellent. I highly recommend taking a safari with Nature's Wonderland Safaris.

The scene is beautiful，but the guide and the travel agency （Kenya walking）is cheater。
Just remember this name “kenya walking”，the travel agency has taken 8307 dollars from me ，but the driver said he has no money ，so he can't go to the park unless we pay another 3000dollars. we turn back to the travel office and the door is closed。we have go the policestation，but till now no response for it。It is a very bad experience。
Serengeti, manyara and Pemba
Thank you to Rose for organising a fantastic safari and beach itinerary for us especially I ally as we got started late and many places were booked out. She helped secure some great spots and built it around our needs. We absolutely loved Serengeti Lamai and Fundu Lagoon at Pemba was so a treat, beach, jungle and luxury all in one. Rose help us prepare for the trip and all the transfers and plans worked perfectly.
