First safari was an amazing experience
Overall rating
5/5

Our guide Captain was amazing (we could definitely see why he got that nickname). He was so knowledgeable about the animals and the park itself and always seemed to be first on the scene when there was a lion or leopard in sight. We felt very safe knowing he was in charge.
We did have torrential rain on our first day which made a very cold afternoon but on the plus side it brought out all the termites so there were lots of wildlife out feeding.
The camping facilities were great, fully waterproof/good quality tents and the food was delicious.
The tour was run well and professional although the additional boat cruise on the last day was not really necessary for us as we didn't really get to see anything (that of course depends on the day as you never know what you see!).

A perfect holiday!
Overall rating
5/5

This was one of the most perfect holidays we had so far with our family. We've seen so many wildlife, the big five, beautiful birds and the scenery was just lovely. Our guide was very professional but built a quick and great relationship with the whole family. He went out of the way to make us feel comfortable and we always felt save. Highlights - definitely the hot air balloon ride with a fantastic champagne breakfast over the Masai Mara and then Kilimanjaro ! We were very impressed with all the lodges but the favourite was Osero Lodge - tents were beautiful, staff GREAT! Next time we would stay in tents every where! Kenya will definitely see ua again AND we shall choose "Kenya Walking Safaris" again!

The roads to the various safari's could be better, esp the one going to the Masai Mara.

Unforgetable experience!!
5/5

I had a work-related trip to Kenya and decided to take this opportunity to go on a safari. I searched for tour companies online, and finally decided to go with Africa Flash McTours. I have to admit I was a bit nervous - this was my first trip to Kenya, and I was traveling alone. It was an amazing experience! My flights changed and I had an extra day in Nairobi, and Peter made arrangements for me to have a driver ($60 for the day). I went to the elephant orphanage at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the giraffe center, and the Maasai market. I selected the 6-day tour. Maasai Mara was amazing - I saw a group of cheetah withing a half hour of entering the park! My driver, Patrick, was an excellent driver, knowledgeable about wildlife and the park. We had had some heavy rains for a couple of days, and I saw several other vehicles getting stuck. Patrick was able to navigate the vehicle through the park without getting stuck, but making sure I had excellent viewing opportunities. Lake Nakuru was amazing - I saw 2 male lions right on the road! And of course, flamingos, rhinos and a host of other species. Finally I spent a couple of days in Amboseli. I highly recommend Africa Flash McTours. The accommodations were great, and everything had been arranged so I could enjoy the experience and focus on the wildlife.

5 Night Safari
5/5

Safari Star Tours helped plan out our five night safari that took us through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our tour guide and founder of Safari Start Tours, Roger, was the best we could have asked for. He was super knowledgeable about all the animals and birds, and had extra material in the car to help us identify even more.

This was not our first safari but it was certainly our best thanks to Safari Star Tours. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful experience
5/5

We enjoyed a wonderful climbing on the Kilimajaro mountain. It was one of the best experiences in our life. The guides were very good and we had a excellent assistance. Best compliment at the chef (fresh and vaired food) and the waiter ( always present). In Arusha Roberto organized a short safari for us at the moment with a perfect guide. Ngorongoro is absolutely worth seeing. We recommend savannah for the excellent organization and because they also speak Italian!

Life Changing Philanthropy Experience
5/5

My life changed after visiting the beauty of Zambia in ways I was not expecting. I saw everything from a tiny bee to the magnificent elephant and met kind and electrifying local people of all ages. Being with Dazzle Africa sparked a wonder and thirst to educate myself on the lifestyles of children who didn’t have the luxuries I had growing up, such as eating healthy meals. Mostly, Dazzle Africa reignited my passion to save animals from unnecessary suffering by educating us about the dangers of poaching. I am forever grateful to the leaders who head Dazzle Africa for helping me fall in love with Africa so deeply that I’ve been twice!

Well organised, communication could be better though.
4/5

The accommodation was great, well organised trip, our driver was excellent, good car. The communication and pre-trip information could have been better. We were not aware of mandatory tipping (which is quite high), also not aware of an additional guide for Rwanda - certainly didn't need one.

Great safari with great company!
5/5

Journey started with planning. I reviewed a lot of proposals on Safaribookings and liked the one proposed by Soul of Tanzania. Unfortunately it was only for 4 days and I wanted for 6 days. I sent a request for custom journey with some personal wishes and immediately got and answer from Sandy with the custom proposal. We discusses many detals before the trip, Sandy always answers immediately.
Then we made a payment and came to Kilimanjaro. Our guide Edward (a real professional!) met us in the airport. After this moment we could relax and thought only about which animal we can see today)).
We could see leopards twice, one time even with kids. We've seen cheetahs, many lions, elephants and many other animals.
We had no one issue during our journey. Just relaxed, didn't worry about anything. It's very important for us that the journey was exactly how we planned, no even minor changes. Accomodation as planned (I could check the ratings beforehand on Tripadvisor), planned routes. No surprises!
Clean and new car, as many water as I need, and I espessially like hot meals for lunch instead of lunch box.
There was a power socket in the car, we could charge camera batteries and phones. It's very important as our Serengeti camp had problems with charging.
We took standard accomodation variant and found all camps and lodges quite acceptable. The staff was friendly and rooms comfortable.
Next time I will go to safari only with Soul of Tanzania.
