Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by mwangee
Lake Nakuru is teeming with wildlife. Recent rises in water levels have reduced the number of flamingoes in the lake. The views from Baboon Cliff are still as spectacular as before.

Review about Kakamega Forest National Reserve by mwangee
Apart from monkeys and birds, you won't get to see a lot of other wildlife. In the right season, butterflies fill the forest with colourful beauty.

Review about Amboseli National Park by mwangee
Elephants! Who doesn't love elephants? And lions! And Kilimanjaro's majestic rise above the flat plains. It's one of the most beautiful places you can visit.

It doesn't get wilder than this.
Being mostly bushland, it isn't easy to spot the cats in Meru National Park. There are however lots of grazers like the rare gerenuk, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, antelopes, hundreds of bird species from grouses to fiscals to hornbills, baboons and elephants. Temperatures are usually high during the day and it isn't rare for the Mercury to hit 30 Celsius. Roads are gravelled and well marked so it's easy to navigate using GPS or traditional map. I stayed at Bwatherongi Campsite which had clean public showers and toilets as well as a pool.

Review about Kenya by Christopher J May
What can be said about Kenya that hasn't already? It's simply one of the most amazing destinations that one could contemplate. The variety of the animals and birds is simply beyond compare. And Kenya provides some of the most scenic vistas to encounter all of the animals in. While Tanzania may lay claim to the highest peak in Africa, Kenya is home to the second highest peak -- Mt. Kenya. The latter is far more scenic as a backdrop for all of the wildlife. Carved by many, many years of glacial activity, it's a sculpted delight that is dramatic from all angles. Additionally, Kenya offers a very large variety of terrains and eco-systems. It's all here in a country filled with friendly, helpful people that are proud of who they are and where they're from.

I don't think there's any other place with an equal mix of adventure and luxury all wrapped in scenic beauty and friendly smiles.

all expectations exceeded!
Outstanding travel value. We travel a lot but can't think of a more memorable trip value. In just 6 half day drives we saw all of the big 5 and the white lions and got to
spend a night in the tree house.

Excellent safari in Kruger Park!
I had an amazing weekend in Kruger Park with Jewel of Africa Safaris! We had an amazing stay in a beautiful lodge, and also the tour was really nice. Neil was very experienced, and showed us all kinds of animals with lots of extra information. We even saw the big five in one day. It was really nice and it would recommend it to everyone. I think it was even the best part of my 3 week trip to South Africa:-).

Wonderful safari with an exceptional guide
We went in a risky period, end of March, but got lucky with the weather since the rains were not there yet. We spent 6 days in Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Our car was good, accomodations were comfortable, and we saw an abundance of wildlife.
We credit our best animal encounters to our guide and driver Ziggy. You always need some luck on a safari, but a good guide will know how to get the most out of it. For example, on our first day we were the only group to witness a lion kill an impala -- our guide knew from the start that chances for this to happen were high, and for this reason we had the patience to wait until the end (another car waited up to a point but then went away). Or in Ngoro Ngoro we were the only group to see a rhino up close on that day, everyone else came later and missed it.
Sunny will provide a completely hassle-free and comfortable experience, and a good guide will make your trip truly memorable.
