Great value, awesome experience
I had to change plans suddenly when I arrived. I called viva and asked. They picked me up at the airport literally 10 minutes later (even though my booking was for the next day) and accommodated everything fully. I know I got a bit lucky with availability, but they didn’t have to accomodate me at such short notice. The safari was awesome, guides and drivers were awesome. Food was great, and the tented safari was such an awesome experience. I have recommended my family make a visit asap

Entertaining and knowledgeable
Booking this tour was a little different than those I’ve done in the past. The initial contact is made on their website. After that, you correspond by email. Booking agents were very quick to respond to my questions. They we’re very kind to pick us up at our hotel and then drop us off at the airport for our flight after the tour.

Absolutely amazing Safari operators. Down-to-earth and knowledgeable on our Safari requirements.
We took a gamble with Benson Safari for organising our tour, we were hoping to see a lot of animals and also the great wildebeest migration. On that note they absolutely nailed it.
Our driver/Guide Zablon showed us some amazing places in Serengeti to spot the animals and had a good knowledge of their behaviour and characteristics.
The tented camps we stayed in were just full of excitement with animals roaring and passing by at night.
We also went to Gombe National Park to see some chimpanzees through Benson Safari.
Here we tracked a lot of chimpanzees and was a breathtaking experience.
We highly recommend Benson Safari for all your safari adventures in jungles of east Africa.

Very professional and customer oriented handling
Although in the end I did not decide to do my tour with Africa Uncovered this time (as I had a last-minute possibility to join a mobile safari), I was very impressed how Archie handled my travel request - his professionalism, reliability, customer focus and fast reaction time that I decided to leave this review as I will for sure consider Africa Uncovered for a later safari.
After sending my (very short-term) request I was contacted via WhatsApp call to have a brief discussion and received a tour suggestion by email shortly afterwards. I had a few questions which Archie answered in a detailed manner and he also incorporated my wishes. Archie truly went the extramile to accommodate my requests and left a superb impression of his company with me.
Thanks again and very sorry again it did not work out this time!

Amazing Safari
Amazing holidays! We had a great Safari in Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Omega and Albert were very friendly and were part of our family. Albert knew a lot about the fauna and flora of Tanzania. By the way, he was also an excellent driver. We saw the big five! Thank you Omega and Albert for the fantastic holidays. Asante!

Safari
Simply amazing… Mirisho Expedition was amazing from the beginning until the end. We did a five day safari with our guide Albert, which included all the big parks and a balloon journey through Serengeti at sunrise. He was very professional and knew everything about the environment surrounding us. He was an incredible person, which made us feel like we couldn’t be better accompanied. Omega was also incredible and welcomed us in a very warm way. The safari went very well, everything was very well organised, the accommodations, food and staff were exceptional, it was very well organised. Everything went great and we couldn’t be more grateful for doing our safari with Mirisho Expedition.

Such a well organized Safari!
We just got back from our African Safari and it was by far the best father daughter trip ever imaginable. We saw the big 5! The guides really try to accommodate to make sure you get the best experience imaginable. The staff all work to make sure your entire stay is memorable. I would highly recommend Viva Safaris, we stayed at Marc’s Tree house and the accommodations were excellent. There are animals on the property giving you the full experience.

Organizer of an Epic Trip
Highly recommend Chrizaan as a resource for arranging a safari trip. She found us some outstanding accommodations, put together the whole package for us, and reacted quickly mid trip when some flight disruptions meant transport pick ups had to be rearranged. Botswana is spectacular. Definitely worth going into the Okavanga Delta to get the genuine safari experience.

Great operator with wonderful knowledge
This was a first safari experience for my girlfriends and I. We decided to take an epic adventure and treat ourselves for our 40th birthday. We booked a 3 day safari with Fede Tours and it was nothing short of spectacular. I connected with Martin right away and he sent me various options for our lodging. We went with the mid-range and he handled the booking for us. I did have to send a wire transfer for a deposit, which for me was a bit of a hassle so be prepared, but he received it so I was glad it all worked out. His partner Fredrick picked us up from the airport and we began our safari in the Amboseli region. Our lodge had stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro! Fredrick was so knowledgeable on the animals and their whereabouts as well as their movements. We got to experience so many animals and learn fun facts about them all. Amboseli is an elephant paradise where you are guaranteed to see them all throughout the day. We also saw animals on our way in and out the reserve roaming freely. Frederick was always willing to stop for us to get the perfect shot or experience the perfect moment. We literally were able to show up with everything planned for us and just soak it all in. They provided waters, a light snack and binoculars way fancier than mine! I would absolutely book with Fede Tours again to tour another region of Kenya. Thank you Martin & Frederick for giving us ladies an incredible experience!

Amazing
We did a 4 day safari with one night in Naivasha (lake) and two nights in Masai Mara. Everything about our experience was perfect. Mary was very responsive and was able to cater our itinerary to our budget and needs even though we only booked about 3 weeks prior.
I searched around quite a bit with different tour operators and found that Native Afrika Voyages was the best value for money. We were only two people and opted for the private tour. We decided to drive to Naivasha/Masai Mara and fly back to Nairobi. They will be able to modify your itinerary to include anything you'd like. Pick up and drop off to wherever you'd like as well!
On the game drives themselves, our guide Antony was very knowledgeable and seemed to know where the animals would be. We saw all of the animals we wanted to see, up very close! We would definitely recommend Native Afrika Voyages to anyone interested in a Kenyan safari.
