Exceptional!!
Carlson was so nice since we first contacted him. He gave us all the information we needed to choose a company.
We got picked up from the airport and taken to the complimentary hotel by Batho, one of the directors.
Issa, our guide, was excellent at his job. So enthusiastic and eager to spot animals in every park.
Meshak was really nice and polite, and cooked great!
It was an incredible experience and we didn't have to worry about anything since Wakanda Tours had it all figured out.
10/10 !!!!!!!!

Excellent!!!
Since we contacted them they have always been very attentive, responding to all our inquiries. Our flight took 5 hours, and Bato waited for us at the airport all that time. We chose a Camping option for 5 nights. As soon as we got to the city, Carlson told us that we would stay two nights in cabins at no additional cost! Always aware of us and our comforts, such as the Guide that spoke different languages including Spanish.
Issa, our guide was excellent at all times, very patient, attentive and enthusiastic to show us everything.
I 100% recommend Wakanda Tours.

Best Vacation Ever
I'm so glad we went with ToKenya.com The entire trip was well arranged. Our safari was great as was the food and lodges. The room were spacious and beds very comfortable. The hospitality was above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for nicer people. We met many fun folks along the way. We were a little skeptical about visiting tribal village, we had heard it was all staged. We truly enjoyed meeting the villagers. They we were so lovely to talk to, welcoming and warm. We were immediately set at ease. Its hard to find fault when the trip was so organized. Especially how all the different part including picnic lunches all came together. This was by far the best vacation we’ve ever taken.

Amazing experience - Full of wonderful surprises
The safari was a great experience. The lodge Ker&D advised us was perfect for what we looking for: comfy and beautiful place. The crew was very nice and welcoming. The experience of the Safari with the drives and all the animals we got to see from a very close distance took our trip in South Africa to another Level! Thanks a lot for everything!!

Almost as expected，but nothing is perfect
I just write the problems that I donot feel good，maybe it is not your control。
1，prepare some menu on the papers，so as to tourists search what we can order in the camp。
2，more water in the bus，500ml or 1000ml water is not enough for one person in hot days。
3，when we back from Maasai Mara，there are many roadblocks on the road，and those local villagers collect the money。it is a bad impression。
4，The traffic police want the money。(I don't feel a violation of traffic)
5，In the Hell's Gate National Park，not only one driver tell the tourists that they must find a guide and pay 20~30 dollar。But actually, we can walk by ourselves。it feel bad even if I don't spend any money。
And one thing that I feel really good is a communication:after we seen the rhino，the driver tell me that just Chinese buy rhino horns in the market。There are fewer and fewer rhinos now。please tell more Chinese that donot but any animal horns。And then I tell the driver “no buy，no dead！”I think the driver have a strong sense of responsibility，I admire such people very much。
Another fact:Many Chinese sent emails to Kenyan travel agents, but did not respond. So we can only find Chinese agents.

The owner of this agency - Michael is a crook and should not be trusted
I booked a 13 day package with the Mushra Agency in November and paid for the tour in full. Communication was perfect until the money was paid. Once that was done, there was nothing to be heard from Mushra. Two weeks before the tour was to start, I attempted to contact Mushra and did not hear from them - I asked Safari Bookings for help and after they jumped in, Michael wrote me an email stating he was an attorney and that the safari business was a side business for him. I cancelled the trip and Michael assured me that the entire amount that was paid would be refunded to me - that was the last I heard from him.
After 5 emails and asking Safari Bookings for help in this matter - nothing, no word from him about the refund. I have currently disputed the entire charge with my credit card company and they are in the process of issuing a refund from this merchant. Safari Bookings informed me that this agency has had their account suspended.
Please do not book with this travel agency as they will take your money and run. Micheal (the owner) is not to be trusted.

Excellent Safari. Exceeded my expectations!
The communications prior to booking, the booking, and information given after the booking but before the trip were excellent. The only thing I would suggest is that the itinerary start times take into account the time of year. When daylight is longer, the itinerary should reflect what the guide has in mind for start times. The start time should be communicated each time before parting ways.
The service was also very good and the lodges also exceeded what I expected.
I was very glad I chose Wildebeest Safaris. The guide worked very hard to find all the animals we wanted to see. He was always listening to the radio to be sure that if another guide saw one of the "big 5" , he would do everything he could to get us there in time. He went out of his way to ensure we were happy. After the missed communication for the first drive, he was always verifying the time we were to meet next. And he was always on time!
Definitely 5 stars!

Bumpy Roads & Thrilling Adventure
We sincerely recommend ToKenya and our tour. It was exceptional in every way possible. When we finally decide to book this tour, we read up on the animals and the country. We expected that in 8 days we would see everything on our wish list. To our surprise we saw most of them on the very first day. The following day we saw even more including others not our list. From then on, the rest was icing on the cake.
We experienced the migration including thousands of wildebeests, zebras, water buffalo, antelope, impalas, gazelles and many other types of ungulates. We saw dozens of giraffes, hippopotamus hundreds of elephants, lions, eagles, vultures, Cheetahs, hyenas, as well as a leopard with a fresh kill. We saw crocodiles, and hundreds of thousands pink flamingos - all of them in their natural habitat. Our tour guide was excellent. He took us close to get good views of the wildlife but far enough to remain safe. He told us that they were capable of being a threat if we got too close. We also got outstanding views of the snowcapped Mount Kilimanjaro.
This was an amazing adventure, but not recommended for the faint of heart. Its wild and real. Including so wrenching moments to see the death of prey. Each day was jam packed with activities. The accommodations were excellent. Our favorite was Ol Tukai Lodge at Amboseli National Park. We loved the swimming pool, and electric fence to protect you from the wild animals. The road had some bumpy sections. If you don’t mind them and hours of thrilling adventure, this might be your kind to a trip.

Just great
Everything worked out wonderfully. We were picked up smoothly from the bus station at the beginning of our safari and then got a small nice room in the hotel. We were allowed to leave our bags during the safari in the hotel and at the end of the safari we were taken to the airport.
They were in constant contact with each other and if you had questions or problems, they were answered and clarified problems!
Very good service! :)
