Magical Migration and overall good experience in Kenya
We did some safaris (Masai Mara, Amboseli, Hell's Gate by bike) and some hiking (Mount Longonot). They were all very magical. We saw the great migration (1 month early!) and did a self drive in Amboseli (totally worth it!). The only thing that we regret was the absence of communication with the locals. Every time we talked with somebody at the end it was all about money. We could not even walk alone on Diani Beach. The beach boys were over us trying to sell us all sorts of things.
Also we did not enjoy the Masai Village visit (next to Lenchada Tourist Camp in Masai Mara). It was such a tourist trap! They were all about money and money and trying all the time to sell you different things and on a very high prices. Avoid it if you can, really.

It was good, however I wasn't pleased with the payment pressure.
My expectations were met because the service at the lodge was excellent!

Review about Zanzibar Island by Marion
Zanzibar is the place to go for relaxation and historical/spice tours. Beautiful island and great old town. Fascninating.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Marion
Always Enjoy Mikumi, it's a great way to start the safari tours, depends on which time of year you go as to how many animals seen. We always go September/Oct., they seem the best times as the water holes are visited more.

Wild kingdom exist!
Mostly our experiences are extraordinary and good in Kenya. Our game drive which was provided by Ewamanns Safaris should included drop off to our hotel, but we ended up to pay the fee to a driver. According to the driver and associates, Ewamanns Safaris
had not clear the payment to them, and I told them that I have nothing to do with their issue since I had pay the total due in advance. Well, it was totally upsetting.

EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR
We booked a 4 day safari and had an amazing time. Mohammed the driver and Jacob the cook were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The accommodations were comfortable and the sights were amazing. The roads were a bit bumpy at times, but we were out in the middle of no-where so ...
Anyway, if you want a good safari experience, I would recommend Kenya Walking Survivors.

First safari, wounderful experience and the wish to return to Tanzania some day.
It was very easy to communicate with this operator when planning our safari, Mr João Oliveira allways answered our e-mails very promptly and was very helpfull advising us about the safari tour that better met our requirements. We´ve choosen the 4 day safari "endless plains".
Our guide Dickson was very professional, shown a good knowledge about birds and managed that it was possible to see the big five althogh the rhinos were too far, but as they are very rare we can´t ask for better. We visited Tarangire, Serengueti and Ngorongoro and we loved the 2 camps and lodge where we satyed overnight, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge by its landscape view over the crater, Maramboi tented camp because our stay was like a dream, and Robanda by its simplicity and the kindness of the staff.

We did visit Stonetown and Maganga Spice Farm. The visit in Stonetown was well taken care of with a good and joyfull guide and a tasty lunch. The during time was correct. The visit at Maganga Spice Farm was good and interesting. The during time, specially with a larger group, took a little too much time. My advise: keep the groups small, maximum 10 persons.

It was a marvelous safari tour with the highligths Sossuvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park.
The safari tour happened as expected concerning wildlife, scenery, weather, accommodations, food and guides.
Some remarks to issues that were not as expected: there were too many changes concerning the participants, transportation was not always o.k. because of less space for legs by the back seats, first day of safari tour without program (only stay at the guesthouse).
We state that the guides were excellent. They were extraordinary familiar with wildlife and could show as more wild animals as expected.

confortable and safe
we did the Kruger Park Safari Tour in September. The guide Susan is an excelent guide, very professional and kind. Generally speaking, we are not disappointed about the tour experience but we didn't like to change 2 restcamps in 2 days (SKUKUZA and PRETORIUS) and in particular, we didn t like PRETORIUS Camp (where we didn t find restaurants but just a WIMPY!). The price of the tour is too expensive for this poor options.
