Review about Chobe National Park by France and Roger
it was excellent in 2011, but went back in 2014 and it was over crowded.
Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Kristine
We went out on the lake. It was beautiful, with many birds and nice to be on the water. It was more civilized where we were where even a local wedding was going on while we were there. It was a perfect contrast to the Masai Mara safari.
Exciting AND Beautiful!
The Masai Mara was amazing. Our guide was determined to find all the wildlife he could so he drove us many miles out. It felt very remote and special. We saw animals and birds I had never seen before and they were gorgeous. All the animals seemed to be in their natural habitat...even elephants climbing mountains??? My favorite were the giraffe. You could see them off amongst the trees with their heads sticking up high. We also saw a huge group of them just off the road. We saw many animals so up close it was crazy from our open top vehicle. Great views for great picture taking.
It was also very special to be able to see the local tribes people. They were in their native clothes, of course, and we could see their homes and small communities very nearby. We saw many natives from Masai warriors to Masai women who make beautiful trinkets for tourists. They're a bargain, great memorabilia and easy to pack.

Excellent value for money with local guides who are knowledgeable and customer focused
We were a family group and booked all our tours from abroad. On arrival we were met by the local guide and the chef who talked us through what we could expect on each day. They picked us up and the tours met and exceeded our expectations. The tours were affordable and the guides very knowledgeable. they went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying our tours. I would highly recommend slow but sure as tour service providers,especially if you are staying in maun and want best value for money
a wonderful experience with our sons
just returned from a safari in Kenya and I have only words of thanks to Michael and his team. traveled with 4 kids and we had no problem backwards we have received a great attention from the agency and have made us enjoy this wonderful country, especially the Masai Mara that everyone would have to visit sometime. known sites and the first day we were able to see 15 lions and did spend exciting moments.
Thanks to the whole team.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Jeroen
The crater is a really beautiful natural sight. From the rim but also inside the crater. We saw lots of Lions, Elephants, Buffallo's, Zebras, Giraffes, Wildebeest and many other animals. It was a bit disappointing the Rhino and its calf were so far away though. But then the spoiled me is talking. It was great and everybody should go there if you have the chance!
Great orgainzation and also cheap
We found really a very confortable organization.
the safari, our apartment in Arusha, our tent where we stayed during the safari were perfects.
simply great

incredible wildlife in Kenya
I visited several national parks to enjoy wildlife which was incredible. They all had precious resources of wildlife which may be important properties of Kenya. Regarding tourism, the accommodation and access to the tourist attractive spots are very important. The quality of accommodation inside the parks should be improved as good as the one in Southeast Asian countries. The roads near the parks should be paved. I suppose there will be more and more tourists visiting Kenya, so we as the citizens of the world should keep these pearls of nature as one of the best parks in the world.

This was a fascinating experience, both in terms of nature and in culture!
The trip to Masai Mara was incredible, filled with amazing animals and wondrous scenery, especially at sunrise. The guide was conscientious about keeping us in the vehicle for our safety, but there were times when he would go off the trails, which did raise some objections among our group. I took the five day tour, but I would recommend a three-day safari instead. The only real bad part of it was the camp, and really only when we tried to sleep--the mosquito nets were ineffective, and on the second night, the power was out (I use a CPAP when I sleep, so this was a real problem for me), and as a result, I did not sleep well until the third night when we got to stay in a hotel.
I and other members of our group found the meeting in the Masai tribe very interesting but a bit problematic: When we were offered a chance to visit their village, we were charged a fee, which they told us was to support the village. We accepted this, but then we were confronted with peddlers in the village and railroaded into making a donation to the school we visited. This can strike a western tourist as dishonest, and it may help avoid awkward confrontations if these things are also mentioned upfront instead of sprung on us at different stages of the visit.
