12 days Kenya safari
What a safari we had. Our guide, driver, and organizer Jonathan made our adventure. He was with us the whole trip. We saw lions and cubs eating their prey. Leopard in the tree with his prey. Elephants, giraffes, hyena….we saw everything. Jonathan knows where to find them and the patience to wait. We were safe, in wonderful lodges and luxurious tents. Food was good and lots of it. This was indeed a trip of a life time. Thank you so much Jonathan and Explore Kenya Safari’s

Safari went fantastic
Me and my wife took a private 5-day safari with lappet faced safaris and it went fantastic!
Our experience started with requesting a quote through this website. We received a response the same day with several options and all our questions answered.
Even though lappet faced safaris offer was more expensive than other quotes we received, we decided to accept it, and that was the right decision!
I was a little bit hesitant to deposit 10% in advance, but it also turned out to be ok.
We even had to reschedule the trip due to personal issues, and this was not a problem for the operator.
We received a list off all the requirements we needed to enter Tanzania including an invitation to apply for eVisa. Our director Francisco followed up regularly to make sure we have our paper work ready.
The safari itself went brilliant! Our guide Emanuel showed great knowledge about the wildlife and local culture. He was always in contact with other drivers in a park. We always arrived on a spot when there were only a few cars and we got the best view point. We really enjoyed game drives with him.
Our favourite park is of course Serengeti Nation Park. The coolest thing was to see the whole big five in one day, before noon.
We were lucky to see a black rhino crossing the road right in front of us, lions having zebra for breakfast, a leopard fending off his pray from a pack of hyenas and taking it on a tree, and a pride of lions playing with its with cubs. The next day we saw four cheetahs hunting an antilope. This was a fantastic end for our safari!
During the five days we stayed in awesome hotels and game camps. Each place offered great service and clean rooms with canopy over the bed. Each place offered other facilities like bars, swimming pools, massage and spa services. One advise I can offer is to bring a power plug adapter, since Tanzania has UK type power plugs.
Another concern we had before our trip was the food. However there was nothing to worry about! Each place we stayed in offered an open buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious food. Local and international cuisine.
After the safari we had a day free in Arusha. We ordered a one day Arusha tour at lappet faced safaris. We went to the masai market and orphanage center which lappet faced safaris support. This was another amazing experience delivered by lappet faced safaris
Now we have a ton of photos to go through with our family and friends, and we cannot stop advertising Tanzania and lappet faced safaris to them!
We are sure we will be heading to Africa again very soon!

Efficient, friendly, hospitable, responding to wishes,
We had a very good experience with Go East Africa Safari! Martha supported me for months with the planning and booking.
We communicated a lot and always got an immediate answer to every question.
Everything went according to plan and we were warmly welcomed!
We would book there again anytime!
To the Safari Tour: we visited the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli with a clean Van and an experienced driver. The lodges were all very nice!
It was a great safari during Christmas week!
We are already looking forward to the next

Excellent communication and service from quote to safari. Incredible team and experience!
We chose Roadside for our first ever safari and were very impressed! Paul and the whole team designed and planned our days carefully and picked perfect lodges to stay at overnight after the long, incredible days.
Our guide Justin was so knowledgable about the areas, animals and of course has eagle eye vision to spot animals from a distance.
Day 1, we arrived in Arusha and were met by Justin and after a quick bag drop at the Melia in Arusha, headed out to see some local sights, in this case an incredible rainforest waterfall hike, local Masai coffee farmer showing us around his land & finally a taste of local cuisine. We would 100% recommend doing this to make use of the first travel day (not to mention the coffee was the best we’ve ever had)
Day 2, Tarangire it’s hard to put this into words but the area is incredible to be driven through, and while the only thing owner Paul would guarantee we would see was the Baobab tree we were incredibly lucky to witness a huge variety of animals this day with Justin expertly navigating the multitude of paths and spotting signs of animals. After the day was done we headed towards our lodge near N’gorogoro crater which also really enhanced the experience and was a great choice for a lodge.
Day 3 N’gorogoro conservation area, after an early breakfast & packed lunch from our lodge we headed out again. Rain overnight had made the routes here tricky but that was no issue for Justin who again expertly navigated us and was always keen to explain animals, landscape and the history of what we were seeing. After another very lucky day for animal spotting we headed back to the lodge for our 2nd and final night where we greeted by another great meal & some local entertainment.
Day 4, our final day of safari at Lake Manyara. By the end of this day we were sad to have to leave and head back on the plane, we managed to see so much but could easily have done it all again. After the park we chose to additionally visit a local Masai tribe who welcomed us with their traditional dance & showed us the village - something we will treasure forever.
Overall we will 100% be using Roadside again for our next trip and would recommend anyone looking for a great guide and package to do the same. Thankyou again to Paul & Justin.

Wonderful experience
We had an amazing safari tour for 6 days with GoEastSafari this Febriary. It is a very good time to have tour because there are a few people and not so hot, at last 2 days it was just the 2 of us with my friend in the car. Our guide Gubson is a very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, helped us with everything.
We started trip from the airport, men from company picked us up to the pick point on road, where we changed the car and bought some snackes in the supermarket. Then we went to Mara and it was wonderful time there, we saw a lot of animals, 2 from big 5 during the first hour and another 2 for the next day. I didnt go to Masai village, but friend liked.
Then we went to Lake Naivasha and saw rhinos. But the way there is very long and dusty.
Last 2 days we spent in Amboseli and saw Kilimanjaro and a lot of elephants.
As i think the best variant to go to Mara for 2-3 days and then spend 1 day in Nairobi in hotel anf after go to Amboseli for 2 days.
We reterned to Nairobi airport at 3pm so dont nervous if you are going to fly away after
Dont forget to take suncreen and adapters for english sockets
I want to say big thank you to Martha and Gubson! Hope to travel with you again someday

Honeymoon beyond expectations
We had a very good experience with Go East Africa Safari!
Martha is an agent, she was very helpful, tried to answer my questions in short time. She was very flexible and try to find solutions everything (pick up, drop off, PCR tests to enter Tanzania etc.). She kept her promises, there weren't any negative surprise during the trip.
We went to a 10 days Kenya and Tanzania budget safari. We were at Masai Mara, Lake Naiwasha, Lake Nakuru in Kenya and Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. The accomodations usually were simples, but the view during the daytime were fantastic, we saw The Big Five until the fourth day of the trip.
Jackson was our driver in Kenya, he was very sympathetic, he drove fast, but safety was the first for him. His van equipped with radio, to know every intresting moments around. He speaks English well and know intresting facts about animals.
Salem was the driver in Tanzania, he was very sympathetic as well, he was very friendly. Everytime he ate with us. We talked about different topics during the meals. Kevin our private chef made delicious foods.
Everybody and everything were fantastic for reasonable price. Thanks guys it is a lifetime memory.

Amazing (and affordable) safari !
We had a great week of safari organized by LandRail Safaris. And that for a very affordable price!
It all started when they picked us up from the airport (this is included in the price). We then went to their office in downtown Nairobi to make the payment. After that we went directly to the first national park (Masai Mara national park).
The driver and guide was really nice and very attentive to our requests. Moreover, he knew very well the tips and tricks in the national parks and also the wildlife.
The meals and accommodations were very good!
In short, we can only recommend this safari agency.
