Amazing, gorgeous, fun trip with guide who knows what he's doing
I have been to Kenya three times and each time I relied and was never disappointed by African Servalcat Safaris.
My first trip to Kenya and my first experience was back in 2011, in 2012 I was there briefly as I had some volunteerwork to do and my third time I asked Sylvester and Benson to take me to the Steiner school where my foster angel is now living.
Service was excellent from the first email!
The entire trip was well organised, we didn't have to worry about anything. Benson, our guide was fantastic! Not only was he very knowledgable but when he didn't know he did his best to look things up in his or my little book. What I really appreciated was his willingness to do a lot for his customers bUT with respect for nature and animals! While other guides/drivers would drive in the long high grasses to overpass other busses Benson told us he wouldn't do that as there could be many animals there int he grass that would be disturbed or killed by us driving there! Respect!!
So from day one until the day we left we never had any complaints.
One thing you should bare in mind when you do a driving safari is that distances can be far and driving can take up a lot of hours..and the roads are def not European or American standard roads :)
But that's all part of the experience right!
We went to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Tsavo West and Amboseli.
Second trip June 2012
As always everything the entire trip was organized well so that I really could enjoy my trip. My guide/driver Justus took me everywhere safely (white woman travelling alone) and was knowledgeable of all the places we drove through and saw.
I visited Sweetwaters tented camp and Ol Pejeta, went to the Nairobi National Park and Sheldrick elephant orphanage as well as worked for a local orphanage, Mama Tunza Childrens Home.
I could count on Sylvester (owner) assistance whenever needed as well!
And third time was a quicky but Sylvester and Benson stood by me.
During my previous trips my heart was captured by a beautiful orphaned angel who than lived at the Mama Tunza Childrens Home.
I know got her into the Steiner School and Sylvester en Benson joined me as she knew both of them from the orphanage.
Went to Kenya the first time to go on a trip with a local touroperator but left with a good rafiki!

An Everlasting Memory
We are now back at home for several weeks but our minds are still in the beautiful Kenyan National Parks with their amazing wildlife (Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli). Our safari was perfectly organized by Sylvester and our driver/guide David was not only knowledgeable but also very friendly and accomodating. Whenever we liked to stay a bit longer somewhere he just waited until we were ready to move on. He even made our game drives a bit longer than other drivers. The Sopa Lodges we chose as accomodation were really nice and comfortable, but their locations are just a bit offside from the main animal spotting areas. Although the roads within the NPs as well as some roads outside are really bumpy, it is still manageable to go by van (instead of a jeep).
When we were planning our safari Sylvester was very helpful, and he even re-scheduled our originally booked Kenya/Tanzania safari at a later stage to a safari just within Kenya. We met him twice at the beginning of our tour as well as at it's end when he sat down with us and asked us about our trip experiences in detail and feedbacks respectively.
All in all we had an unforgettable safari that was worth the time and money we spent!! From the very beginning we had a good feeling about Sylvester and African Servalcat Safaris and it came fully true. We thank Sylvester and David for making our holidays an everlasting memory!!!

Great Trip - would do it again!
Visited in early May for 4-5 days on Safari. Tresmania Lodge was fine, a bit rustic but enjoyable overall. Food was very good. Enjoyed the Monkeys and all the wildlife in the area. Guides were very good. Very little down time as we were kept busy. Would do it again if I could find the time!

the best holiday
We did 10 days camping safari with Christopher Samwel, visiting the northern parks (Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire), and we had a great time, from the planning of the trip and during the safari (which in Christopher proved to be very competent and available).
absolutely recommendable (I hope to go back soon!)

Incredible Safari in South Africa
As a family we took a 2 week trip to SA including 7 days of Safari. The entire trip was organized by Kerry of Pembury Tours. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Kerry created a memorable and magical trip for us. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the area made her the perfect person to plan our trip. Every driver, tour operator, guide and hotel/accomodation were first class. We went to two private areas of Kruger (Timbavalti and Sabi Sands), then Hazyview for adrenaline activites including zip line, fishing and riding elephants, and finally to Cape Town and wine country. Even though it is so far away we plan on going again next year as nothing compares to the beauty of going on safari.
