A perfect organized and perfect guided safari!
I had a wonderful 4days safari including tarangire national Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The tour was perfect planned from the first up to the last moment.
And I'm sure I had the best guide ever. He is a young Tansanian, who's name is Elia. He knows a lot about the people, the nature and the animals. Besides he is an excellent driver, a very important fact at this safari. We startet our trip as guide and client and we finished as friends. Really Great! I enjoyed very good accomodations with good food. One night I slept in a comfortable tent to hear the sounds of the wild animals during the night. One of the many highlights. At the end of the trip I met Mr. Robert Sheiza, the boss of RO Scarvenger, a very sympathic man. He and his clerk Silas organized the whole trip absolutely perfect. I will surely book my next safari at RO Scarvenger and I want Elia to be my guide! Thank you very much RO Scarvenger!

As good as it gets!
Communication was excellent from the first to the last email. Our guide Gunn is a super driver and a good spotter of animals. We had no problems whatsoever during our tour of 12 days. Nice lodges and wonderful places we visited. We would definitely book through this tour operator again.

Unforgettable Odyssey: Kensai Safaris Sets the Bar High in an 8-Day Adventure of a Lifetime
Kensai Safaris delivered an outstanding 8-day adventure that surpassed all expectations. Beginning in Nairobi and traversing Amboseli, Maasai Mara, and Nakuru, the journey was a symphony of breathtaking landscapes. Sopa Lodges offered unparalleled hospitality, with warm receptions and luxurious accommodations. Our guide, Mr. Chege, was a gem—equipped with a comfortable vehicle, panoramic views, and a keen eye for photography. His multifaceted expertise, from wildlife knowledge to photography skills, added immense value. The management, led by Mrs. Caroline, Juma, Veronica, and Sheila, were exceptional, providing constant support and updates. Special thanks to the KWS team for memorable night walks and game drives. Kensai Safaris has set an exceptionally high standard; I eagerly anticipate my next adventure with them, perhaps with my friends this time.

Very trustworthy and reliable safari tour operator
Le Kobe Adventures & Safaris was great to work with; especially Jessy was amazing to sort out the right arrangements. We chose to go with this tour operator after 3 other competitive offers as they tried the hardest to accommodate our wishes and were fair with their pricing. Our 8-day safari trip started after a night in Arusha with Tarangiri National Park (nice as an introduction to Tanzania), then 2 nights at the Escarpment Luxury Lodge to explore Lake Manyara, which is a difficult place for wildlife viewing due to dense bush and forest.
Thereafter, we went for two nights to Lake Ndutu Tented Lodge (great experience!), and finally two nights on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, staying at the Serena Lodge (note: mass tourism lodge).
Our driver, Raymond, was friendly, a good problem solver (fixing car problems while in the wilderness), and flexible with the daily schedule. However, given that this wasn’t our first safari and we are sophisticated travellers, we would have liked more briefings and details or stories (what to expect the next day, more details about the environment, etc). A bit more engagement would have made this trip more special.
Overall, we would certainly recommend Le Kobe Adventures & Safaris as reliable, flexible and responsive tour operators. We felt we were in good hands - Asante sana!

Unreliable and unprofessional operator who doesn't stick to the marketed quote
Beforehand we did enjoy exploring Kenya and its wildlife. The parks (Ambosseli, Lake Nukuru and Masai Mara) were clean, astonishing and we had a great time discovering and learing about all the animals.
Nevertheless we would never recommend a safari with Kennafrica Adventures again because of our experience.
First of all the provided guide wasn't well-suited for the job. He couldn't provide any information about the nature or wildlife - he just kept on repeating every information the driver had already given us. Even worse he was basically having a wonderful vacation on our expense - having us take pictures of him, joining in on every adventure and even sleeping during safari (his working hours). We even told him that it was bothering us but there seemed to be no self-reflection.
The booked tour (quote) and the actual tour were two different things, we added some comments in the quote, as you can see in the photos. The worst part was that the fifth day of safari fell completly out. Without further notice Kennafrica Adventures decided to cancel the planned game drive. Because of this we missed out on a whole lot of possibilities to get to know Kenya's wildlife and nature.
As we addressed this issue we felt that Kennafrica Adventures used petty excuses and basically didn't handle the situation at all to our satisfaction. There was no support from our guide - he just handed over the phone instead of dealing with the situation or coming up with a solution. After discussing the issue with the company's manager for about 2-3 hours in the evening we negotiated a refund ($125), nothing compared to the lifetime experience we were missing out on - up to today we are still waiting to get this money back.
On top of that we agreed to at least go to a Masai village on day five, which was according to the quote already included. Arriving there we had to pay an entrance fee ($40) - again no support from our guide. He just assured us that we will get this money back with our refund - as said before we are still waiting.
The manager now even blocked us on WhatsApp and won't answer our mails. We are highly consindering to take legal actions against Kennafrica Adventures.
The only reason we regret giving a one star rate is our driver, Mungai. He was an exceptional tour guide, who taught us a lot about the nature and its wildlife. We even learned some Swahili. He made this whole safari worthwhile. We would always come back to do a safari with him but never if it's operated by Kennafrica Adventures.

A dream come true
our experience was very good. Paul was always attentive and suggested an excellent itinerary, starting with the Masai Mara, then Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and finally the beach on Chale Island, a dream come true! My only suggestion would be to improve the accommodation in the Masai Mara (Enkorok)

Kibena Africa Safaris and Tours, Second to none
Kibena Africa Safari and Tours is the right tour operator that will take you to the dreams of Tanzania and Zanzibar. I and my family enjoyed being taken care by Kibena. Their hospitality and knowledge was so great that we plan to be back next year 2025.

Committed to providing the best experience of Uganda possible.
Verdoro communicated regularly, efficiently and effectively, prior to our arrival
Their suggestions were constructive and helpful. All questions were answered promptly. Adjustments were readily made to our itinerary, owing to unforeseen circumstances.
Our tour exceeded our expectations. We have had experiences which we will remember forever.
Whilst in Uganda our guide has ensured we have arrived at each destination safely and has shared extensive local knowledge. They have resolved any minor issues easily and supported us doing things outside their remit.
