Awesome world
First of all, I’d like to appreciate to David who is our driver. Thanks to him, we enjoyed our safe trip. And staff and leader of this company is also nice guys:)
I traveled at Masai Mara National Reserve, lake Nakuru and Amboseli National park. I’ve never seen such a awesome world ever. A lot of nature, animals!!
We could have nice experience there. Thank you all:)

Please do not take excursions from them!
Jeep we had was so old, that it stopped in the middle of the savanna at 17:00… they tried to repaired it, then called other drivers and made it work… but it was very bad experience!!!

The safari was everything we had hoped for, and a top highlight of our trip
The experience in Kenya was incredible. We saw all sorts of animals, had incredible animal encounters on the safaris, and saw such amazing natural beauty.

Such a beautiful country
The landscape is breathtaking and also are the animals. We saw lions, cheetahs, a leopard, elephants, giraffes, zebras, gnus, wildebeests and many more. Especially Amboseli park was great! But also Diani and Galu Beach are wonderful places on earth. The people in Kenya are all very nice. Only in Nairobe there were some fake beggars and of course you do not go to the slums. But we always felt safe.

Many amazing game drives
We did quite a lot of game drives, maybe too many for some, but that's why we were in Africa. We went to Kruger ( Letaba, Skukuza and Croc Bridge) and Hluhluwe as well as transit drives through that part of South Africa. We did dawn and dusk drives almost every day as well as a night drive and an armed bush walk. Wildlife highlights, African Wild dog, leopard, white rhino, cheetah, lion, jackal, elephant, hyena and almost every type of antelope. The accommodations are basic, but are clean and safe. The weather is changeable in October, but had some beautiful days. The scenery is breathtaking from the bush to the Drakensbergs. People were very nice.
Other highlights were stopping off at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and donating to their wildlife program and bring scool supplies for their partnered school, Stopping one night at Royal Hlane in Swaziland and hot air ballooning in the Drakensberg.

Superb "à la carte" trip
Hello,
I went alone to north East Tanzania in November 2017. I met a group of amazing US tourists there, I traveled with them to Tarangire national park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Amazing trip, with amazing people in an amazing region. I can only recommend it, just be careful of the tips you need to give on a daily basis to locals (driver, guide, cook... around $10/person/day), which can increase your budget travel quite significantly.
Before traveling, don't hesitate to ask for some pictures to the places where you will sleep, huge differences between public camp, private camp and lodges in terms of comfort.

They provided an experience worth much more than they charge
Vacay's customer care provided timely communication. We did not even to visit their offices for payment. All we did was deposit the cash in their account and left the rest to them. And the safari was just as we had imagined!

Amazing wildlife but a very disorganized tour.
I visited Masai Mara during the great migration and it was an amazing experience. I have been to a lot of national parks in Africa including Kruger and the Serengeti and Masai Mara was the best experience. Although I may be overly influenced by the fact that this is the only time I have been able to see a leapord up close. The down side was our tour operator, Karibu Tours. They seemed to be completely disorganised and modified the tour to suit their needs over their clients. In addition our guide/driver was very poor at keeping us informed and answering our questions. The other sites we visited were not as interesting especially Lake Nakuru which is no longer visited by the millions of flamingoes it is famous for as the water level has risen and they have relocated to another lake where it is easier to feed.

Hiking on Kilimanjaro
First time in Africa, and never have we felt so welcome and met so friendly people.
It was a fantastic and very interesting country, even if we didn't have too much time in Moshi, i would definitely like to come back again. either to try to climb all the way up to Kili or to try a safari.
Loved the food, it was amazing, i didnt expect it to be like this, both the lunch box we got to the day hike and the food we got at the restaurants. Really good!
The hotel we stayed at was a hotel where all the profit went to school, right be the hotel, the school was for orphans. i wish we had know this, we would have brought some school article to them etc. but compensated by buying souvenirs etc from the hotel. The name of the hotel is Stella Maris a few km outside Moshi. Again it had the most friendly staff ever.
I will definitely recommend Tanzania, an experience like to other.

It was a good time for travdlling. Grass was green and trees with leaves. All aimals had small baby
We had very good guide from WATUs safary. Accomodation and food was good. We saw all big animals and was such interesting moments and situations: lion on the tfee branch, elephants near our cottage doors. Transport could be better in safari, but transportation from airport and return from safari was safety but long 6-7 hours.
