Overall very good experience
Really great value for your money, we did 8 days safari with my gf, really enjoyed it,
The company has planned the whole 8 days for us, the only thing you need to pay in 8 days is your drinks ( they give one bottle per day which is not enough, I didn't even expect it) everything else is included ( food , accommodation, driver with vehicle, park entry fees) I think it's absolutely worth it,
I recommend to the 8 days as you can really have a good experience of Kenya and it's national parks, what's the point of going all the way to Africa and not spend enough time on the experience,
In some of the accommodations you get a cold shower, the food is enough and basic but I recommend to buy some snacks from supermarkets as well to have some snacks.
You will see a lot of people trying to sell just politely decline , believe me they are everywhere so be prepared.
Overall go for it , it's a unique experience that you will never forget.

Well I can definitely say that the tour operator is experienced & professional
All in all it was an amazing experience, however the office owner needs to chill a bit with his sense of humour or at least that's how he would describe it. Good thing that you spend the time/tour with the operator and not him.

Awesome and unforgettable Safari experience!
We had a very friendly and professional contact with Intimacy adventures during the booking process. Nonetheless, we did not really know what to expect from a 5-day fly-in Safari from and to Zanzibar. In the end, we were surprised how smoothless everything went, from the pickup at the hotel to the airport, flights, transfers and meeting our guide for the first time. It was very well organised, even though the group was mixed with guests who had booked different Safari durations.
Our guide Mali was incredibly experienced, he knew the national parks like his second home, enabling us to see not only all the Big Five, but also a lot of different species all around the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. He had profound knowledge of the animals, the landscape and the history and we learned and saw so much in just five days with him. We also want to emphasise, how perfecly he and the driver of a second Safari vehicle (with Godfrey as a driver and guide) harmonised to double the chances of seeing various animals, this was a big advantage over just having one car. Thank you very much, Mali, it was a real pleasure meeting you and being your guests!
The additional balloon ride in the Serengeti was also awesome. Getting up early to experience the sunset up in the air was absolutely worth it! Luckily, this day we were the only guests in the balloon, being able to share the experience only with the very motivated and experienced crew with Pradeep as our pilot. We recommend the balloon ride to everybody who can afford the extra price!
It may be our only point of critique, that mixed accommodations led to everyday additional transfer rides to pick up ereybody and less time to be on Safari.
Altogether, we were absolutely happy booking with Intimacy Adventures, it surpassed every expectation we had up front. Thanks to the whole team!

Created a memorable itinerary that exceeded our expectations
We gave Ines a budget for 6 pax and asked for an itinerary that included safari and beach in South Africa. The tour she created was amazing with 4 nights safari and 3 nights on the beach at Ballito. It exceeded our expectations and was great value for the budget we set. All transfers were included and perfectly reliable. Would highly recommend.

An amazing safari with an amazing guide!
The communication with Morning Star tours was excellent from day one. Dennis always replied to my emails promptly in a professional and friendly manner and we were very happy with our planned itinerary.
We had an amazing safari with our tour guide Moses. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, helpful and very respectful of the wildlife and nature.
We highly recommend Morning Star. Our first safari was incredible and we already have ideas for our next one! Kenya, we will be back ❤️

Very nice
A precious game drive with a local Masai guide
Many people travel in search of something out of the ordinary. I am one of them.
When I chose this safari tour, my first requirement was to say in a lodge with a view of Mt.Kilimanjaro. My second requirement was that it was a private tour.
I searched for tours on the following website: https://www.safaribookings.com/tours.
Among the nearly 200 tours available, there was one that included a balloon safari.

Reservation for the August tours are filling up fast.
When I didn’t know how to enter the information required to pay the bill, they quickly send me an email to explain. It was very reassuring. Shortly after making the reservation, I was informed that the lodge I had planned to stay at was fully booked and that another lodge had been provisionally reserved. At first I was really disappointed. However, when I looked into it, I found that it was a very attractive lodge, with a view of Kilimanjaro from all rooms, and many Masai people working there. Moreover, the tour price was reduced by 42US dollars. Thank you for your consideration so that the quality of the tour would not drop. In Nairobi, a large-scale demonstration against tax increases and corruption was held one week before the tour started. Watching the live footage made me quite uneasy. I immediately emailed Morningstar Safaris to ask about the current situation, I was relived to receive a prompt reply.
Before I knew it, the first day of my tour had arrived. I thought the car that picked me up at the hotel in Nairobi would be a safari car, but it was a luxury Toyota sedan. The driver, Simon, told me that we would change to the safari car at Amboseli National Park, At the hotel where I was staying, I met William Sunte, a local guide and driver in Masai clothing. From here, we headed to the safari park. The game drive in safari car started. Sunte moved the car skillfully so that I could take pictures of animals.
I told him that I wanted to lions and tusker elephants with long tusks. While I was having lunch at Observation Hill, Sunte contacted a fellow driver and then took me a family of a dozen lions. I was very impressed and took lots of photos and videos.
On the way to his Masai village near the lodge, he guided me to an elephant with the largest tusks in East Africa. It was an exciting experience to go in a safari car on a path that only the local guide, the Masai people, knew.
At the Masai Village, Sunte’s brother guided me. I bought a few accessories. Although it was not for sale, he gave me his brothe’s Runge Pole. Naturally, Sunte knew Amboseli National Park inside and out, and thanks to him, I was able to take thousands of memorable photos and videos. It was my first experience to ride a hot air balloon. Moreover, I was able to see many animals such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, and Thompson’s gazelles from a different angle in the scenery that quietly flowed below. It is an attraction that I recommend you to experience at least once. The champagne after landing with the fellow passengers was the best. My two-night, three-day game drive was much more than I expected. It is a trip that is not easy to come, so I recommended choosing a reliable safari tour company. I stopped by the Morningstar Safaris office twice and was treated very friendly. I really appreciate the lovely Masai blanket that I received as a souvenir from Morningstar Safaris.
When I visit Kenya again, I will rely on Morningstar Safaris to provide me with the best, safest and most comfortable trip possible. Thank you for all your help. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be surrounded by wild animals for these three days. I feel that my everyday life in Tokyo was something out of the ordinary, and it made my life after returning home more enjoyable.
Asante sana.

Amazing and unforgettable
How about a dream come true? When we decided to opt for the 10-days safari with Topy Tours, we were mainly attracted by the amazing itinerary proposed (roundle circle to Arusha via Tarangire, Ngorongoro, South Serengeti, Central Serengeti, North Serengeti, Lake Natron and Lake Manyara) and honestly also by the great reviews it already have.
Reality exceeded expectations: panoramic views, significant stops on the way to learn more about tanzanite and ebony carving, a lot of animals and discovery. Not only the Big Five, but also serval cats and caracals (almost impossible to detect) and the remarkable show of the Great Migration at the Masa River in North Serengeti.
All this natural spectacles came with a great organization and a great driver and guide (Naaman), who took care of us all along the route and was always available with his kindness to further information and explanations. The guide is English-speaking, but in case of need for translation in your home language, Topy will provide a pretty fluent translator for the main languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese…)
Thanks Topy Tours for made this journey unforgettable!

Our guides were a lot of fun and very organized
Rocky was great to work with. He was very helpful and shared great information about the animals, plants and the culture of Botswana. The tour was very smooth and everything happened as planned. Our chef, Vanise, made tasty and healthy meals.
In Moremi, we had elephants in the canal by our campsite. Two elephants even came through our camp as were finishing dinner.
