We went on a 4 day safari through the Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti national parks.
Overall we have a great time on our safari with Northern Circuit. The accommodations were great and the food was excellent. Our guide was knowledgeable of all the animals.

2 Day : 1 night tour to Amboseli
Peter and his team were fantastic! We had two days in Amboseli - including two game drives and a visit to the Masai village. The accomodation at Kibo safari Camp was fantastic as was the buffet and service.
I would highly recommend this trip with Flash Mc Tours.

wonderfull 4-days safari in Serengeti by our own
We did a wonderfull 4 days-trip by our own in Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. Accomodations were booked directly and we did the same with David to get a "personnal" car during the safari. The driver was perfect and the car in good condition. The price was discussed when booking and we had no surprise. In addition car permits were arranged directly at the agency in Arusha. A good experience for us.

Memories that will last a lifetime
From the start, our experience with African Scenic Safaris was a good one. They promptly responded to our every question, ranging from "Where should we stay?", via "What should we wear?" to "How can we charge our cameras?".
Greyson, our driver and guide, and Aidano, our chef, gave us an amazing 5 days and 4 nights in 3 different locations. We went to Ngorogoro crater, Serengeti for 2 nights, and finally Tarangire for our last night. All the time they did their utmost to make our trip enjoyable, delightful and exciting. Greyson had wast knowledge and incredible eyesight, spotting game in the most unlikely places. We got to see almost everything we wanted, but never found any rhinos. He would also be a welcome help when dealing with peddlers along the road, giving us sage advise on how to behave, what to expect, and what was fair.
Aidano, also known as Mr Delicious, or Mr D, truly deserves his nickname! His dishes were a true delight, and coming back to camp in the afternoon to find not only food, but delightful feasts, was always a great end to the day. His culinary skills on modest equipment in the middle of the Serengeti still amazes me to this day. How one cooks a pizza so fluffy and fresh on a gas burner I have no idea. Neither do I know how he managed to make the best french fries I've had out there on the wast savannas. Enjoyed it we did!
I cannot recommend them enough, and the team at African Scenic Safaris has been nothing but a delight the whole way.

7 days - Samburu, Nakuru and Masai Mara
In July 2015, KWSS arranged for me and my wife a private 7 days safari tour covering Samburu, Nakuru and Masai Mara national reserves. Our guide and driver, Moses, was very helpful and tried very hard to make sure that we would meet all the major animals in the national reserves. The accommodations as well as the foods provided at the 3 national reserve were very good (our tour included breakfast, lunch and dinner). Since one of the main reasons for us in taking the safari tour was to take lots of wild animals photos, we were very happy that by the end of our tour we have been given many opportunities in taking photos of animals from close distance and also from the right angle of view. Overall it has been a great holiday experience for both of us.

Great experience in Kenya
Pre-trip planning and communications with Great Horizon Trails was fast, easy and clear. They were kind enough to offer us rates to accommodate our student budget. Had a knowledgeable driver and safe/comfortable vehicle. We went on two trips with them (hell's gate & nairobi national park) and had a great time!

professional and high quality of service
We've done a 10 days safari which including Samburu, Masai Mara, lake Bogoria, lake Naivasha and Amboseli with Tekkos. Following my discussion with different tour comanies online and face to face in Nairobi. Tekkos was the most professional one who set park fees, accommodation fees and their service fee( car and guide/driver) clearly. We've paid the park fees by ourself at the gate of each national park. And I want to remind you that Samburu, Lake Bogoria and Lake Naivasha do accept reduced student rate.
On our way we had great time with our guide - Jackson. He is very thoughtful and professional.
I highly recommend them also from the point that they do exclusively Japanese customers with Japanese standards - which means their service follows a very strict, attentive regulation which guarantee their quality.

Overall, great value
We went on a safari with Northern Circuit Adventures in July 2015. Overall, we had a fantastic time. We had just climbed Mt Kilimanjaro so we were looking for a cheaper safari and Northern Circuit Adventure provided the value for which we were looking. The tents, sleeping bags and sleeping pads were great, never having an issue with warmth. The safari car (Toyota Land Cruiser) was a beast; we had no issues whatsoever and gave us a surprisingly smooth ride (considering how rough the roads were). Our driver was impressive, giving us the most time in the parks that he could and he was always on his radio/phone finding where the rarer animals were (leopard, rhino, lions....). And our cook was fantastic too; can't believe how good the food was. Only reason I say 4 stars is that it is a cheaper option, so you are putting up your own tents, helping pack the car, etc. I had no problem with that (and expected it based on price) but if you do, might want to go with a more expensive, more inclusive option.

the best first safari for the adventurous city girl
If you always dreamed of going on a safari, but were a wee bit worried whether you are up for it, call Benson immediately! As a somewhat comfort-oriented traveler, I must say my trip was perfectly balanced:
1. Communication with Benson was easy and prompt at all times.
2. Our guide, Francis, was hand-picked and was simply delightful at all times. He went out of his way to show us a great variety of animals, tying to make sure we saw as much as possible. Every trip was saturated with experiences, including seeing three different lion prides on one day, as well as getting some excellent close-ups of feeding, hunting and resting lions. Francis educated us about wildlife and went out of his way to accommodate us when we needed to exchange money, buy SIM cards or handle any other non-itinerary requests. He was sensitive to our needs, flexible with the schedule and made sure we had a good balance of adventure and vacation.
3. Benson provided personal attention that was beyond expectation; I must say I felt like I was in the hands of good friends, even though I met Benson and Francis for the first time.
4. Accommodations were great.
Bottom line: I highly recommend this safari operator, especially for women or first-time safari goers.
