Perfect
I had an excellent time on this trip. Elias my driver went above and beyond and was always friendly and laughing along with the group. I was travelling solo but it didn’t feel that way at all between my other traveler and all of the staff. The sights we saw were once in a lifetime too!

Breathtaking safari experience
My 75-year-old mother and I just completed a 5-day safari with Aglow, and it was an experience beyond our wildest dreams. Our exceptional guide, John, went above and beyond to ensure we had the most memorable adventure. We were fortunate to witness all of the Big Five, along with countless other fascinating wildlife. Every detail of the safari was meticulously organized, and the accommodations and food were top-notch. As a vegetarian, I was particularly impressed by the delicious and thoughtfully prepared meals that catered to my dietary needs. The breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters made this safari an absolute must. Highly recommended!

Amazing Safari but Poor Management in Tanzania
The complete experience is amazing but the organization in Kenya and Tanzania are really different.
Kenya: everything was really good. Daisy was really nice and careful from the day of the booking in January. Our guides (Derrick and Richard) were really nice and prepared. The camp sites and hotels are low budget but clean and functional. Maybe sometime there is too much hurry during the game drives and the customers are not really warned about the fact that if you don't choose to make the optional visit (as Lake Naivasha boat trip) you have to wait in the car. Total: 4.5/5 stars!
Tanzania: Super Eagles Tours doesn't manage the tour and gives the organization of everything to Seven Wonder Safari. Almost a complete failure. At Namanga border you need to wait (at least 1 or 2 hours) that a certain guy lets you get on the bus to Arusha (you can leave just when the bus is full of people) without any explanation. Our plan was almost totally changed: DAY 1 --> it was scheduled evening game drive safari (at least 3 hours) but instead there was an eternal and uncomfortable (9 ppl total in a van with 8 seats) journey to Serengeti (arrived at the entrance at 16.30) because of several and useless stop in gift shops along the road with a 2 hours rush to the campsite and some stop to watch animals. DAY 2 --> the optional Olduvai Gorge stop was removed and replaced with a Maasai village visit and the people that were not interested had to wait in the car. DAY 3 --> the scheduled plan was at least 6 hours game drive with packed lunch inside the Ngorongoro crater but our experience was entrance in the park at 8.30 and at 12.15 back at the camp site to have lunch. The game drive was done without any radio (the driver couldn't know if there were specific animals in specific part of the crater) for just 2 hours and half, with a very long stop for coffee and rest. Such a shame for one of the most wonderful places on Earth. Besides they probably should inform better the costumers about the fact that customers will camp in tent in public camp sites. The guides were nice and the food really good but the change of the plan really disappointing. Total: 2/5
We booked all the trip with Super Eagles so they need to be responsible for all the journey, Tanzania included. The experience was really amazing but the Tanzanian organization very disappointing.

Beyond expectations
We did a 4-day/3-night safari in the Maasai Mara.
Anthony has been our guide for the whole tour. If we had such a great experience, it’s mostly because of him. Fun and caring, you can tell he is very experienced. We relied on him (suggestions on the best time to start the tours in the morning, suggestions on when it was best to move on to a different site) and this made the whole experience very successful. Big shoutout to Anthony! We saw zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, crocs, buffalos, wildbeasts, hedgehogs, hyenas, …. We saw packs of cheetas, more than once. We saw packs of lions, many times. And we saw the mighty leopard, which is very tricky to find and only with an expert guide like Anthony we could succeed in seeing it. Emotional.
Kudos also to the back office support.
Filipa supported us in the planning of the whole experience. Terrific support, we exchanged lots of emails to refine the plan according to our wishes. All very transparent, clear, and flexible according to our desires. She also remained available during the whole Safari, answering emails promptly in case of questions

Professional, organised, knowledgable and friendly’
From the first communication till we were dropped off at the airport for our departure flights, we had an unforgettable experience!! George met all our requirements and Dallas, our guide, was outstanding. We visited the most beautiful places, slept in comfortable beds, ate like kings and queens and experienced everything we imagined and more. A bucketlist adventure came true because of them.

Exactly what we wished for
For a budget safari, this experience far exceeded our expectations. Fiona, the owner, was wonderful and maintained excellent communication throughout our trip, from before booking all the way to the end of the safari. She customized our itinerary to fit our specific needs, crafting a perfect journey tailored to what we were looking for. Amazingly, we spotted the Big 5 on the first day while traveling to our accommodation, before the safari had even officially begun! We had incredible wildlife encounters, including witnessing a cheetah hunting and killing its prey, hyenas and lions sharing a meal, and observing migrating wildebeest, among many others. Our driver Abdi was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure we saw everything we wanted, and made sure we had some fab pictures to come home with. The food at each accommodation was excellent, and the campsites and hotels Fiona selected were great (though it was cold in the mornings and evenings, and the showers were chilly, but that’s all part of the experience). If we were to go on another safari, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Fiona again. This is the most perfect trip, which fit exactly in our budget and gave us everything we expected! X

Professionalism and seriousness
KILIMANJARO HEROES ADVENTURES was recommended to us by our friends who traveled with them in 2023. They themselves had been recommended by friends....We recommend KILI HEROES without any reservation.
For the trek we did the MACHAME route in 7 days.
They are very serious, professional and attach great importance to safety (which is essential for climbing KILI). The organization was perfect and they do everything to make us feel good:
- before the trip thanks to the very good communication with Evarist, who answered patiently and very quickly to our dozens of questions!
- during the stay, where the organization was perfect! our chief guide Mwinyi organized life on the camp perfectly. Thanks again to him and his team for all the attention during the trek!...
Safety is essential for them. For the climb Mwinyi perfectly managed the problem with one of our 3 daughters (19 to 23 years old), who had a problem related to the altitude at 5400m. He quickly made THE right decision and brought her back down immediately, thus ensuring her safety! thank you. The rest of the family was all the way up 🤩.
But apart from these "technical" aspects we loved the mood and the atmosphere on the camp during these 7 days. We built important bonds with the whole team: 16 porters, 1 cook and 3 guides: the chef Mwinyi, Glory and Calvin. Without them, all this would not have been possible! They are adorable and we feel nostalgic when we think back to their songs, their dances and all their attention to make us feel good physically and mentally!
We warmly recommend KILI HEROES and the team of guides Mwinyi, Glory and Calvin. They were the best! and made this trek a moment forever engraved in our memories.
We also chose KILI HEROES for the safari. Our guide Jamal was great! very respectful of the animals, very attentive and interesting.
He guided us perfectly well in the parks while trying as much as possible to isolate us from the other jeeps. The organization was perfect!
Thanks to the whole team.
See you next time we hope!

A Macknificent Family Adventure with Karen Blixen's Africa Tours!
Our family of four had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya this August, thanks to Karen Blixen’s “Africa Tours & Journeys” now known as “ The Out Of Africa Experiences” . From the first inquiry about this adventure, to the final moments, every aspect was meticulously planned, showcasing the agency's professionalism and care for its clients. I am thrilled to say that the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
Wow! It's hard to express in words the professional, personable and attention to detail that was extended to me. I can't not say enough kind words about my African Safari Specialist Penina Onyando. Penina listened to all my wants and changes and never hesitated to oblige. Penina's
professionalism, kindness and responsiveness come across in every conversation. She made me feel so comfortable that I had no worries at all.
Patrick, our tour guide (driver), was simply outstanding as well. He picked us up from Nairobi and drove us out to the Masai Mara National Park. He was very pleasant and friendly and kept us entertained and amazed throughout the trip; sharing his deep knowledge of the wildlife and the local areas of Nairobi and Masai Mara. Patrick was very punctual but always very flexible. The safari jeep was comfortable and clean. For the duration of the Safari he was always available to us and attended to all of our needs.
We stayed at the Emayian Luxury Camp and it was wonderful. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff were attentive and friendly.
We did the Hot Air Balloon Safari (Amazing), the Masai Mara village tour and the airport transfers back to Nairobi. Everything was excellent.
Overall, our experience with Africa Tours was incredible. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to have an exceptional safari experience in Kenya.
Thank you, Africa Tours for a truly memorable experience!

Great tailor-made trip
I recommend it 100%
Tailored to your possibilities!
It is the most flexible safari company I know, and I have done several trips like this.. The organization and the treatment are excellent.
The dedication and attention are worth mentioning, beyond the knowledge transmitted by the guides, both in English and Spanish, which is an added value.
We were able to choose parks and accommodations. As I say, "tailored"
It is the best "safari" I have done!
Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
