Accomodation at minimum level (lenchada camp no hot water and eletricity and all very old, Chambai hotel no services and no good food), the visit to Masai Mara Village no interesting, Masai Mara Park wonderful and driver Charles K. was amazing

Standard service
3/5

The parks were really nice, and we were able to see many animals. The Lenchada camp in Masai Mara did not have electricity and hot water all day long, and we were not aware of that. The other hotels were fine. Our driver Charles K was the best. He made us live an immersive experience in the savannah.

Fair to Average
3/5

I booked 8 months in advance (group join option) with stated goal to spend as much time as possible with the migration. The itinerary indicated 1 day in the Crater and 3 days in the Serengeti including one entire day with the migration (large wildebeest herd) and at the river looking for crossings.

Unfortunately this did not occur primarily due to the driver. Room/board was good and the first two days went according to schedule. I was put in a Avocet Tanzania Safaris group (the 6 passengers had each booked with several different agencies and mixed together --this is apparently common in Tanzania). We had a very good visit to Tangamire NP. One passenger left and a young boy who did not speak english joined us presumably as a cook. He and the driver were always speaking Swahili so we got minimal information. Loud ranger station static over the 2-way seemed always on and prevented music from being played.

On the 3rd day we found the large herd early in the morning , an incredible sight. But after 20 minutes, almost as if the job was completed, the driver took us across the Grumeti where we spent another hour then told us they are not crossing today so we crossed back and despite request to return, we never saw the herd again. The rest of the day was spent driving at high speed chasing ranger reports of cats which we had already seen quite a few of (but no chases/kills). At dinner I found out other vehicles had seen groups of wildebeast crossing the river. The fourth day was spent chasing more cats.

My second complaint is that each time I stood up to take a photo, the vehicle would take off fast knocking me down. It would be nice to get a warning like "leaving in 10 seconds". The fifth day was at the crater. We spent only 3 hours and I was told that the 4 other passengers were on a 5-day safari so he was taking them to the airport. I was left at campsite near Lake Manyara for 18 hours without a guide. On the sixth day I had my own guide for Lake Manyara NP and then to the airport.

Of course, I will return to see another migration but unsure if at Serengeti or Masai Mara.

Bellow expectations, but good
3/5

We booked a 4 day safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. It was a good safari but to be fair on the third day you should except no safari, as you leave from Masai Mara after visiting the village and drive to Nakuru, arriving at 4pm at hotel. I think there must be something to do on the third day rather than being on the car and at the hotel. Also we couldn't see the herbivores crossing the river, male lions and leopards, and barely no explanation about the itinerary and the animals were given to us.
A girl from the group got a stomach infection and suspected it was from Lenchada Camp.
It was a bit disappointing but a great experience since Masai Mara and Nakuru are great parks.

All good

He has complied with everything contracted. We would have liked the guide to explain information to us during the safari. The meals are repeated every day, but the accommodations were great. To repeat.

It was okay but could be a ton better.

I do recommend this tour of Soweto but be careful, they will try to pull at your heart strings and bring you to the slum area at the beginning to meet pre school kids in their “kindergarten “ building so that you will donate to the facility. Be prepared to have to give tips to different people too on this trip. The Nelson Mandela and Hector Pieterson memorial were the ones I wanted to see but the latter was rushed.

Life trip but with dissatisfaction and disappointments
3/5

The pre-communication with Morning Star was very smooth, they finally customized a 10-day itinerary according to our ideas, we enjoyed most of the time in these 10 days, thanks for this;

The downside is that the problems with the vehicle happened 3 times in the 10 days and we had to change the vehicle twice for that;

What's even more uncomfortable is that when I expressed that I were not 100% satisfied with the trip, they directly recalled and deleted the link to write my review which had been sent to me already, even though I asked them for sending me the link again at least 2-3 times, they always tried to procrastinate and refuse, that’s unacceptable and directly affects my final evaluation.

Bumpy start but great execution
3/5

The trip started as planned. I received help straightening out my flight and required documents for 30 dollars a person. The transfer ride was on time but cost 15 dollars coming from a few minutes outside of Nairobi (a rip off). When we arrived at the bus, it was filled completely and somewhat squished but as expected. Before leaving, the tour group notified me that I had an unpaid balance and when going to pay my 75 dollar balance (flight help for two people and a transfer fee), I was told that I owed an additional 50 dollars because they forgot to add a surcharge on the credit card I originally paid with. Arguing over this delayed the start of the trip by about an hour and left everyone frustrated. After leaving, everything was smooth again. The guide was friendly, made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We stopped for self serve lunch at restaurants and were provided food but not drinks. When arriving at the park everyone’s passports were collected and taken out of sight for over ten minutes for check in. That was alarming, but worked out. Our tented cabin was double layered and did surprisingly very well keeping out bugs and rain. The room had a full sized bed and a twin bed, both canopy styled with netting to also keep out bugs. We had a bathroom with a flushing toilet, but the shower nozzle didn’t work. Also coming during a rainy season meant black outs and inconsistent WiFi access. Our things seemed to be left untouched when leaving for the safari run. The guide was enthusiastic and dedicated to finding all the interesting scenes. He made sure to get as close as possible and made sure we had the best angle to see everything and get good pictures. He gave brief synopses on the animals and answered all our questions. He was a fantastic driver and knew his way around the park and how to get through the muddy patches without getting stuck. I would definitely go again but I would pack tons of my own snacks and liquids, and I would pay for everything in cash and refuse any additional services.

Not the best experience
3/5

We did 10 days safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania. The tour itself is provide by Super eagles travel and tours, but the part in Tanzania is provide by another company in our case it was 7 wonders.
The part in Kenya was good, nice guide he did his best to show us as much as he could during the safari, good accommodations, good food.
But the part in Tanzania was horrible.

- they forgot to pick us up on the first day in Tanzania, we were waiting for 3 hours at the reception, they didn’t let us know about departure day before we had to ask at the reception about departure, rest of the group had to wait for us whole day, it made them nervous and angry and because of that the atmosphere in the group wasn’t friendly everyone was complaining about something
- during safari our car broke down(what we understand, it can happen), and they were repairing the car for 3 hours, they found three different problem with the car which had to be fixed and we don’t think so all of them happened in the same moment it means there is a lack of car maintenance, instead of repairing the car for long time they should solve the situation by another vehicle and tour should continue by the schedule, due to delay our way to campsite was during the dark and we came to camp at 10pm, we didn’t eat for 9 hours,
- ⁠on every stop like entrance to the parks and so on, we waited for sooooo long everywhere compare to other cars
- ⁠our guide didn’t even have a radio to communicate with other guide in national park, due to that we didn’t see what we could

We recommend super eagles travel and tour, but just the tours provide only by them.

Not listened to, safaris cut short despite my requests.
3/5

Very disappointed with the guide David in Tanzania. Did the Manyera park safari quickly. The guide did not stop at the sight of animals and even less in time for my photographs. Transport time too long which shortens our safaris. It does not overtake heavy vehicles and maintains 40-50 km/h and necessarily reduces its speed on slopes. Parc Manyera was very quick. I had to ask him if he was in a hurry because he was driving 40km/h in the park and wouldn't stop when he saw animals. He walked back slowly to the entrance of the park to take another path. To finally turn back this way quickly and return to the entry point because he had to leave at 6 p.m. No satisfaction for this outing which was agreed in the contract with Tours Chanteclerc. A visit with the boss of Classic journey informing us of the tip to give to the guide at the amount of $20/day. In addition, no one was at the designated restaurant of the head office, I received a spaghetti with tomato sauce instead of a pizza ordered. Unnecessary meeting in my opinion. I don't need to be told how much I should pay a guide and especially when I'm dissatisfied

The guide in Kenya (Moise) was excellent in every way. Very much appreciated this guide. He also deserved an excellent tip from me.
