Great service, food and sightings!
Our trip with Wild Planet Safari surpassed our expectations. Thale was helpful and quick to respond prior to our trip and Chris and Ben looked after us brilliantly from the moment they picked us up to when they dropped us off 5 days later. We saw some wonderful scenery on the Panorama Route and all of the big 5 (and many other animals too) in Kruger. Chris worked very hard to try and find leopard and rhino which we were most keen to see and was so excited for us when we did! Unforgettable memories

Matched our expectations!
Communication : Since we booked through mojhi, we didn't have any communication with monkey before booking. Buy after booking their communication (by Nyani) was prompt.
Service: We did 5 days safari to Masai mara & Nakuru and service we recieved was quite good. Our driver Joseph was competent and his experience showed in his guiding skills. He managed to show us cheetahs and leopards in Masai mara on day 1 after we told them we are most interested in these 2.
Since we traveled in offseason, there were not many tourists and we were lunch to enjoy some of the animals sightings all by ourself with no other cars to disturb.
We did safari in a landcruiser and it was comfortable for most part except for a small stretch near mara gate.
Quality of food is excellent when you eat hot meals at the lodge. But packed lunch quality should be improved. I gave the same feedback to lodges (Ashnil mara and sarova lion hill lodge). Except for that, service was very good at lodges too.
Overall I'm happy to recommend monkey adventures for anyone planning to do safari in Kenya.

Fantastic experience with Grassroots Safaris!
We took a 3 day safari adventure in Mikumi national park and Udzungwa mountains trek. Everything regarding our safari with Grassroots Safaris was excellent!
Communication:
Micky answered all of our (many) questions before the safari very fast and accurately.
Driver/guide:
Our driver and guide, Fikiri, was a great guy! He spoke very good English and told us many interesting facts about the animals and the nature in Mikumi park. Fikiri's driving was very safe and fast, he managed to find us all the great animals in the park including giraffes, zebras, hippos, impalas, elephants and even lions with their cubs! Fikiri is a real professional with many years of experience. He made our safari truly unforgettable!
Accommodation:
We spent the nights in Camp Bastian next to Mikumi park, and the place is amazing! Staff was extremely welcoming and made us feel like home.
Overall pure 10 out of 10 points, 5 stars, mark of excellence experience that we will never forget. Worth every penny! We made the right choice to go with Grassroots Safaris. No points to complain about, I highly recommend Grassroots Safaris!

Great service, friendly people and great tour guide Ayubu and chef
Perfect. Very knowledgable. Would talk in depth about all subjects and be patient when looking and watching the animals. He knew the park and each area in depth and knew how and where the animals were in the big parks

Outstanding trip of a lifetime!
From start to finish this was the most amazing adventure. We had always dreamed of going on Safari and Tanzania Exclusive Journeys helped to make that dream come true. The whole experience was awesome. From the tips to help you prepare for the trip, the guides and staff that made every day count, to the memories created that you take home to cherish, everything was top notch. Thank you for helping me celebrate my 60th birthday in style. The food was amazing. And the accommodations were better than "glamping"

Wonderful!
This trip was for 3... my husband, myself and our adult daughter. We had an amazing experience! Our safari far exceeded expectations! Our guide, Solehe, was fantastic. He had an amazing ability to find animals, and to get us the best view possible! We saw the Big 5... any many more.
The accommodations were top notch! The food was very good!
The crew at Lion King are very easy to work with, and very responsive to our questions. From the first contact to the end of our safari.
It is hard to know how to choose a safari company, from far away, and with little knowledge of how the safari's work. I am so very glad I found and chose Lion King. They are personable and willing to work with you to create the experience of a lifetime!
We visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara National Park.
Amazing, Wonderful, Fantastic!

Review about Madikwe Game Reserve by Amanda Detmer
We had an incredible time! Madikwe is the perfect place to go to see a lot of animals in a peaceful manner. It’s not overcrowded; you only see a few other game cars while on the drives which is nice because it may only be you and the animals at times. We saw at least 10 different animals and even group of female lions eating on a zebra! Everyone at Madikwe is incredibly friendly with lots of knowledge on the reserve, it’s history, and the animals. We stayed at the Bush Lodge, and it was an incredible experience. I strongly recommend staying with the Bush family. They are very warm welcoming and professional. The weather in the month of May was great; chilly in the mornings and evenings, but it was bearable with a jacket and pants. Middays were perfect! We had a great time at Madikwe through SafariWithUs bookings.

Wouldn't change a thing about my experience - wonderful!
I am very much into animals so the wildlife experience in Madikwe was beyond amazing. My transport driver was such a great tour guide on just the ride there and back - he was soooo knowledgeable about all the various local people. Such an educational and interesting man. I stayed at Bush House in Madikwe which was amazing. The people are so nice and helpful and the food!!! I am vegan and they totally accomodated my diet with the most delicious food! (This after I had spent 8 days at a rhino rescue then another 3 in Kruger where it was total miss with the volunteer portion and hit / miss in Kruger.) The bed was so comfortable and the grounds just beautiful. Truly one of the most wonderful experiences (and I've had many) of my life.

Well organized and curated
We did the 3 day 2 nights camping safari. We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and did a Maasai Village Walk with local lunch.
I have to say they did an amazing job planning the safari! They organized everything and were very accommodating with our late pick-up and early drop-off. We had an amazing safari driver and the camp we stayed at was extremely clean and well cared for!
We saw all the animals we wanted to see and then some, so I am throughly satisfied with the service. I highly recommend booking with this company!!!
