The scenery in Ethiopia is just amazing !
The quality of guides in Ethiopia is amazing. I had very good experiences with most of my tours. The scenery of the north is just amazing : Tigray region, Danakil Depression. At Danakil, you will see landscapes you only on rare locations : salt desert, volcanoes, fumaroles,...You also go to Ethiopia for the people and the culture : the churches of Tigray on the high plateaux, the ones at Lalibela carved in rock, the people of Harar, the folk music and the jazz...

wonderful experience!!!
The decision to rely on Kenya Expresso Tours And Safaris (Ket Safaris) was the best we could do!
We are lovers of nature and photography and by the time we were curious to see the great natural spectacle that is the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara park (crossing the river of the same name).
After careful research on the internet about the program that we wanted to do, we sent multiple requests for quote .: Ket Safaris offering excellent lodges (all parks and stations: 2 nights Lake Nakuru Lodge, Sarova Mara Lodge 1 night, 3 nights Ashnil Mara Camp), Land Cruiser sunroof with private driver exclusively for us (we met vans packed with people!) and the best price (all inclusive).
Certified agency in Kenya, Paul (owner of the agency) and 'immediately proved to be very helpful and answered our questions (and doubts) within a few hours. Posted advance, we made the balance directly to our arrival at the airport where (arrived at 4 am!) We met Paul, and together, the one who will be our guardian angel: Francis, the best guide we could hope to meet.
Always friendly, smiling, in order, available in our every request and requirement, Francis has great experience, he knows every path of the parks and (importantly) the best stalking. Nicknamed by his colleagues "who found the animals" and in continuous contact with Mr Jackson and Pascal (also excellent guides Ket Safaris), with intuition and patience, we are back in ambush after everyone had left and we were able to assist in two stages, crossing the Mara is a huge herd of wildebeest .. in two phases because interrupted by the attack of a lioness in the first and not 'failed (the baby wildebeest and' saved by the intervention of the mother), while the second has attacked and killed a wildebeest adult. The scene is set and 'turning a few meters and I guarantee that, in such a context, the unfolding of Nature has not horrified ns. sensitivity ': kill to live and to continue the species (shortly after and' came another lioness that clearly showed signs of lactation). In addition to this we have seen a short distance herds of lions, buffaloes, zebras, gazelles of each species, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, rhinoceros, leopard (anche'esso hunting but failed), the cheetah with 4 wonderful puppies.
All this thanks, again, to stalking intelligent and patient during which the dear Francis never showed impatience or fatigue ... ..Anzi in the most 'heavy always has a ready smile, a good joke, a contagious laugh.
At the end of the journey Paul, the owner of the agency, greeted us wondering how it had come and offered us a wonderful dinner in a good restaurant in Mombasa!
Continue to describe what we saw would take too long but I hope I have conveyed a little of the enthusiasm with which we returned.
It 's not the first safari we do (always arranged by us, we visited South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana ... .adesso and' added the Western Kenya Safaris and thanks to Ket., Paul, Francis and indirectly in Jackson, Pascal and 'was a unique experience that has allowed us to "unplug" from our wonderfully daily routine and come back with so many beautiful images in the heart and the mind.

A once in a lifetime experience
The whole trip was booked by Patrick who was so incredibly helpful. I am a travel agent and won tickets to South Africa. I had no idea about S Africa at all. I did my due diligence to find a good tour operator. After reading reviews of Milotours I decided to book with them. Patrick was fast getting me a price and literally walked me through everything I ever need to know for my trip. I feel like I sent him an endless barrage of emails with a ton of questions and Patrick was patient and answered them all. even my questions about tipping the Safari leaders. Our guides were amazing and really knowledgeable. They were actually rangers from Kruger park so they know the park like the back of their hands. they were able to spot wildlife that we would have never seen on our own. when Rasta our favorite guide stopped at night and pointed out a chameleon that was maybe 6 inches in a tree, I was convinced he must have had a bionic eye.
The scenery was amazing. the weather was great, although very cold before and after the sun went down, but we were prepared as Patrick had told me to layer while we were on Safari. Patrick even gave me pointers about cape town and Johanasburg, which we actually booked on our own. The accommodations were fine, we stayed just outside the park to keep the cost down. When Patrick said we were 500 meters from the Kruger gate, he was spot on. I told him I was worried about the down time between the Safari's while at the resort, e sent me various day trips etc....we ended up finding the onsite spa and spent the days there, which was lovely. All and all Patrick really made the trip special which was amazing, as I really had no idea where to start. Being a travel agent made it really nice for someone else to actually handle all the details.
Patrick is a star and a first rate tour operator, and I really appreciate all he did for us.

Kenya in april, buy a lot of adventures!
Kenya was really overwhelming. It couldn't have been better! Our goal was to see as many as possible different animals, which we did. Animals were really close to our car. Due to the fact that it was low season, the experience was even more intense. Not a lot of other cars around. Sometimes we were wondering, are we the only one here?
Our safari was in April, rainy season. Although we were lucky with the weather. The raining season was late. Some rain in the evening, but the mornings and afternoons were clear.
Accomodations were really good. Clean and up to date. Nice staff and good food. Locations were beautiful.
We travelled with Buy More Adventures, and we can really recommend this company. Charles, our driver, is a nice guy, with a lot of experience and knowledge about Kenya and it's wildlife.
The parks we visited: Samburu, Mount Kenya, Aberdares, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha + Hells Gate. This is a really nice trip. A lot of variation in landscape and animals.
