Masai Mara Safari
This is our first African safari experience. Overall, it was great.
Communications-wise, Robert is actively replying to messages. He also assisted us when we were looking for souvenir items while in Nairobi.
Our driver for the safari, Khalifa, is very great. He is on time and during the game drive, he would always find a way and search for animals so that we get to have the best experience and find good angle for picture-taking. He is also very helpful since during our safari, there was an accident and he helped those in need. So far, we were able to see 4 out of the big 5 animals (we weren't able to see the rhino). We recommend to request for Khalifa if you would do the safari.
The only thing that maybe needs some improvement would be the assignment and coordination with Enchoro Camp. Because we were surprised that we would be sharing a room with other people we have just met. We were just 2 and the only available room is for 4 persons. Luckily, the ones we are to share with transferred to a different camp so it didn't become awkward during our stay. So far, the staff and the locals in the camp are very kind and helpful.

Quality sightings guided by a passionate and very knowledgeable team. Armand delivers on all fronts.
The sightings were quality and excellent. Drivers positioned the vehicles correct for the optimum photo opportunities. Armand has a very large and in-depth knowledge of the area and the subject matter. His photo tips and guidance really helped with the camera settings and framing. All that was promised and a bit more was certainly delivered.

Out of this world
Prompt helpful service. This was the best holiday we have ever had. We stayed at Ashnil Mara camp which in itself was truly amazing with fabulous staff especially Fred.
Our guide Cornelius was just beyond superb with eyes like an eagle and very knowledgeable in animal life and where to go to get the fantastic pics of the wildlife.
We really didn’t want it to end and saving now for our next safari. We did 4 days/3nights in Masai Mara. Next time we will do a longer safari. No day was the same, and even if we didn’t see an animal for twenty minutes or so, it was just so amazing and the peace was out of this world.
A truly amazing experience, thank you KET.

Everything was organised well. The transportation was perfect and staff were very friendly. The Safari to Ruaha National Park was interesting and incredible wildlife viewing, beautiful scenery, just an unforgettable experience.
I can recommend with love to do this tour with WILD GAZE SAFARIS.

Safari possible for all budgets
Me and my girlfriend did a 3 day tours in Kruger & Blyde River Canyon. We could have use our rental car to go, but we wanted to be with a guide. This ended being a big plus for us since we went during a public holiday, so that park was full. The "open" vehicule for safaris have the privilege to enter first before the opening, so we could enter faster in the park, and you are guaranteed to enter (since they limit the amount of people in the park).
We had a total of 2 guides (Dave and Marc) which were both highly knowledgeable. We got lucky to see all of the animals we were hoping to see! Also had a night safari organized by the camp: this is totally different since you see different animals.
We have great food during our stay, mostly all provided by the agency, knowing we are vegetarian not everyone knows how to provide good food for us, but they did!
What was the nicest thing to me was that locals can go in the park and there are many ways to go and lodge in the park, you don't necessary need a whole lot of money to enter the park!

Don't do your Safari with Ibrahim, he screwed with us!!!
I was looking to do a 4 Day safari with a group. During my search I met a girl who was looking for the same thing. We both decided to do the safari with Angose Travel limited, because a friend referred her to this company with the Guide Jojo. We agreed with Ibrahim that Jojo will be our guide. When I met Ibrahim in the office, he seemed very friendly and answered all my questions. I asked about the camping situation and if people would share a tent. He told me that nobody has to share a tent with someone they don't know.
On the day of the safari I was supposed to be picked up in town, I texted Jojo where I am waiting. Jojo responded that he is not coming, someone else is. Apparently he and Ibrahim had an argument, so Ibrahim decided to change the guide even though we specifically asked for Jojo. When I asked why, Ibrahim told me that Jojo is at a funeral. Jojo texted me at the same time that he is in town and told me to tell Ibrahim that we want him as a guide. The other girl also told me that Jojo was at the office in the morning, so clearly Ibrahim was lying to me.
I decided not to get upset about it and we started with the safari. After the first day in Tarangire we arrived in our camp and we all have been told that we have to share a tent with another person even though we did not know each other before the trip. We called Ibrahim and he only responded that it would be to much to bring a tent for everyone. Remind you, I specifically asked about this.
The safari goes on we saw many animals in the Serengeti and were about to cross over to Ngorongoro. Arriving in the Transit area we had to wait, because Ibrahim had not yet paid the entrance fee. After half an hour our guide came to us and told us that Ibrahim can't pay the fee as the banks are closed (it was Christmas) and asked us to pay 400$ so we could continue the tour. We were all shocked, as we have all paid for everything in advance and it should have been clear that banks are closed on Christmas. We were afraid that we would not get our money back and did not want to pay. We told Ibrahim that we need him to find a solution, as we could not use our credit cards. After almost 2 hours we called him as he still hasn't found a solution. We offered him that he could wire the money over via mobile money(these shops are always open) and we would use the credit card but he only had a bunch of excuses why he could not send over the money. We were even more convinced at this point that using our own cards would mean we would lose the money. After 3 hours Ibrahim told us that we just need to camp at the gate. Camping at the gate is not allowed and as we were stuck between serengeti and ngorongoro we had no where to go. So we had no chance than calling the police. We went inside the office of the gate and asked for the number. Luckily these guys wanted to see if they can help us. The park ranger from the office came to an agreement with our guide that we could go in and do our activities and before we leave ngorongoro crater conservation we have to come to head quarters to see if the fee has been paid by Ibrahim otherwise they would keep the safari car. The ranger also told us that we should not pay the fee, if we had already paid everything in advance, because the chance is high that we would not get the money back. Because of this we lost our whole afternoon and as it was about to get dark we had to rush to our camp which was 3 hours away. We drove so fast that we almost killed the animals on the road. We needed to set up our tents in the dark, were the last to eat dinner and got only very little sleep.
The next day we went to head quarters after our activities and there we still had to wait a lil while as Ibrahim had still not paid. Ibrahim had at this point no other option than paying the fees so he finally did and we could move on.
After my experience with the company I can only tell you do yourself a favor and go with a different company. We were not the only ones at this trip that got screwed over as another group we talked to had also a lot of trouble with Ibrahim.

Big Five and More
We absolutely loved our 4-day camping safari experience with Outlook! Before booking, we reached out to the tour operator with dozens of questions and Salomi answered all of them in a timely and professional manner. From start to finish, the tour was exceptional—well-organized, efficient, and punctual. We were hesitant about staying in a tent, but it was in great condition and had all the necessities, including electrical outlets! The facilities at the camp were well taken care of and the food provided during breakfast and dinner was exceptional. A big shout-out to the head chef for taking care of our dietary restrictions—he did a fantastic job at putting together carefully considered delicious dishes. The guides who took us out on the drives were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and did a good job of giving us plenty of opportunities to take some photos. Thanks for the wonderful memories, Outlook!
