Perfect Ten
To avoid the traffic jams of Ngorongoro and the other parks around Arusha, head further afield to Mikumi. I've visited twice and have seen only three other tourists there. Everyone there--rangers, hoteliers, tour guides--is more laid back and informal, they'll treat you more like a friend than a client. In addition to the animals (they've got them all), the drive down from Arusha via Dodoma or better yet via Iringa is a great experience.

Review about Nairobi National Park by navrajghataura
Great park in a city. Very short ride for Nairobi residents with good wildlife. No Elephants. You can view the city skyline from within the park

Great job
They organized our trip in all particulars with a detailed plan of the activities and things to visit. The structure were we stayed was very good in most of case, the guide knows very well the places to visit. All the people involved in the organization are very kind and available.

First time happy!
This was my first time in Sub Saharan Africa so I was excited just touching down on Kenyan soil...The most memorable experiences were many. Driving towards Lake Nakuru and seeing the hazy pink fog on the horizon which as we drew closer realised that is was 1000's of pink flamingos! We knew we had a lucky group as at that point Ben our driver told us that 2 weeks previously there were no flamingos to be seen! It was a magical site. Another magical site would be on the first dawn game drive we did and managed to see a pride of lions basking in the morning light, a cheetah prowling the plains and then the elusive leopard lazing halfway up a tree! back at the camp we were then treated to a 5 star style camp breakfast out in the open guarded by expert Masai hunters, who - we were reminded were there for our safety -since they would inform us what animals were making the noises we would sporadically hear just outside the edges of the camp. To be honest, there were so many memorable moments. The wildlife, the guides' knowledge, the attention to detail and the attentiveness of the camp staff-all this rolled into one great trip.

Great safari experience
At the end of January 2014 we did a 5-day-camping safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Mike Ndallo's safari company Northern Circuit Adventure. The safari was a great and it will be a memorable experience to us.
The communication with Mike was always very good and professional and he responded to our questions promptly.
Our guide Laban and our cook Gabriel did also a great job. Laban is a good driver and guide and he was eager to fulfill all of our expectations. We had exhaustive game drives and saw a lot of things. Although we didn't stick completely to the proposed itinerary, we were able to experience everything we wanted.
The meals Gabriel prepared were also delicious and varied, the pick nick lunch boxes could have been maybe a little bit better.
The safari car was excellent, although the radio communication didn't work, but it didn't really matter.
The camping equipment was good and the tents kept dry, even when we had strong rains one night. The mattresses and pillows are budget, but okay.
Overall, we had a wonderful safari experience and we can definitely recommend doing the safari with Northern Circuit. The value you get for the money paid is very good.

Perfect Christmas day at Victoria falls
I would like to express our satisfaction of the beautiful Christmas Day spent at Victoria Waterfall. The organization made by your agency and particularly you was correct and reflected our requests.
We were just a bit dissapointed from the accomodation and I would recommend you not to offer it to other customers.
