Great place for close ecounters with wildlife
We had a 8 days trip to Madagascar in November 2019. We spend the time on east cost of the island - Andasibe & Palmarium Reserve. The wildlife was very good - lemurs are close and provide excelent opportunites for photography. Birds in Andasibe were good and approachable, a bit worse in Palmarium (very few visible). We used Assiten Travel and the service was excelent - very good accomodations, great driver, food and transportation.
Mine key target was to photograph lemurs and I am very happy with the results :).

Very good driver but 7 days for safari only is too much.
Good , precise and prompt comunication by email. Very good and kind driver .Some problems with the accomadation.The already confermed high level lodges have been changed with lower one once we arrived in Tanzania.
The driver has rearranged everything again at almost the same quality level but with some difficulties.
Be sure to have the same lodges you have chosen and payd for!!!!!!
Consider to take a flight to Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro is enough.
The trip was any way interesting thanks also to our driver.

5 days safari as a phantastic experience
Very good and flexible organisation of the tour by Maurice Mwanzia. He was very flexible in the wishes according to our individual programm. Changes of plan on the spot, even in the accommodations, were smoothly arranged. Our driver Haroon was an excellent driver and guide. Even though it was our tenth visit to Kenya, we had many new experiences.

This visit disappointing due to illness and fewer animals around than usual.
The wildlife we saw was good but sparse, accommodation clean and comfortable(really nice),guides knowledgeable and transport all fitted together well. My own illness rather spoiled this visit for me and temperatures were warmer than I've ever experienced before!
wonderful wildlife - quite an adventure
The safari experience was great - wonderful, incredible wildlife - 2 day Masai Mara trip (overnight camp) and half day in Nairobi National Park - saw everything we wanted to see. Peter, our driver, looked after us well and he was very skilled at both driving off road and in finding the wildlife. Minor quibble, but water and T shirt was not provided despite being specified - check with owner, Mr Otieno, very carefully what is included and not included in the price.

Amazing to see the big 5 in their habitat.
The wildlife, weather, our guide Stanley from Venture Savannah were excellent. Most of Lodges we stay were great.
The biggest disappointment was to be caught on a FRAUD by the company “Kenya Walking Survivors Ltda”, I paid 50% 4 months in advance , had communication with Mr Otieno but 10 days before my trip all stopped. Ann at Ibis Nairobi help me to rebooked my Safari with Ms Pauline Mwarari from Venture, wonderful lady.
I’m a teacher from NY and love to travel.

2 days Pilanesberg Safari
We made 2 days Pilanesberg Safari with Chris, it was just great as we saw plenty of animals. His truck is clearly of added value as it is perfectly equiped. Chris knows very much about the bush and is willing to share his knowledge. We just regret that the catering plans changed in the course of the safari.
I clearly recommend Armadillo as it's a guarantee to have a great safari experience.

Beautiful Kenya.....disgraceful Tukio!
We travelled to Kenya for a safari trip of a life time. We absolutely loved Kenya, it’s wildlife and it’s people.
Kenya is a fabulous country to visit for Safari and seeing the Big Five.
However, just be advised that it is expensive, for example we paid €60 fora bottle of wine in a restaurant and we got the feeling that it was not just the wilder beast that are easy prey but tourists are very much so too.
Our tour company Tukio were good at the planning stage but we were let down very badly by them regarding accommodation. We tried to book a five star lodge which was only available for one night though we wanted two nights, and we offered for the same price, a completely different far inferior lodge in which we felt unsafe and could not even eat the deplorable food which was presented to us. When we wanted to change lodge we got very poor service from Tukio, who did very little to help our situation. We would definitely advise not using this company.
