incredible atmosphere, environment and people
Amazing 7 day safari taking in Massai Mara, Nakura, Naivasha and Amboseli organised by Blue Mountain safaris. We saw everything we hoped for and the variety of landscapes and environment were far better than expected. Best of all was the friendliness of the people, just lovely.
The safari went very smooth and have to say special thanks to Ann at Blue Mountain who made lots of last minute changes for us without fuss, they are highly recommended.

Everything you dreamed of seeing was right there.
From our first encounter to our last we were blown away. We had a fabulous tour driver called Peter, from Amazing Memories Safaris. We drove through the madness of Nairobi and headed off to our first destination - Samburu Game Reserve. From the moment we entered, we knew we were in Africa - Giraffes greeted us at the gate and we saw multiple animals on our way to our Samburu camp. This was the real deal! We saw elephants, zebras and various antelope, The next day we added lions, cheetahs and a leopard to our growing list - and so our safari unfolded. Highlights for me were seeing the mass migration of wilderbeest crossing the Mara river with all its dangers plus many gorgeous babies including giraffes, Thompson gazelles, elephants, lion cubs and the most gorgeous playful white rhino you ever wished to see. Each place we went to including, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara had their own uniqueness and we enjoyed learning about this from our guide and also from the locals we met along the way.
We had nice weather at all stops in early September, with a few afternoon thunderstorms which were welcome and spectacular. We could see changes in the grass growth whilst there that would make life so much better for the people tending their flocks and the animals ranging free.
The accommodation throughout our safari was wonderful - highlights being the food and the comfort of our tents. We loved to swim in the middle of the day and have a rest before our evening safari and we were able to do this at every camp . The little 'spoiling' touches like a turn-down service and a hot water bottle on chilly nights made us feel special. The staff were pretty friendly and responsive and enjoyed some banter and jokes which made getting to know them easy.
Our trip to Kenya was fabulous and I thoroughly recommend making a Safaria trip there. We found it safe and the people were very welcoming.

Private Family Safari Review
It will remain one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and probably all five of our lives.

Unforgettable
Our 7 days highlight tour with Speke Uganda Holidays was truly unforgettable.
They made us feel safe the whole time and we got to see so much - volcanic craters, local towns with banana, tea and coffee plantations, the big 5, chimpanzees and gorillas. It was an action packed 7 days.
All of the hotels were incredible - we particularly loved Elephant Plains near Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The Best company for Safari in Tanzania ever!!!!
We went with Nodven Safaris (f.k.a. Parota Safaris) and had a great time...! They have a good operation so they support the local people and wildlife...this is why I chose them and I am glad I did. I went on the game drive, but they have walks and village cultural stuff also. . A couple of times I felt sorry for the people locked in their jeep with poor visibility. I can strong recommend them For southern safaris contact them

The beauty and diversity of the wildlife in South Africa is truly amazing.
We stayed at the Ku Sungula resort and were extremely pleased with the resort. The staff was amazing and so very helpful. The bush guides new exactly where to go to find the animals and were in contact contact with other guides to provide locations of the animals. Kruger national park was epic. We saw so many different animals, in their natural settings. The guides are amazing and always willing to help. The only issue we had was the multiple load sharing black out due to the South African electrical grid problems. The power would be shut down for hours at a time all over.

Beautiful throughout, people and nature
The part we visited around Mombassa is so beautiful. The old town is certainly worth visiting and at the beaches around you can swim and enjoy the sun.
We went for a safari with Mosaic Tours to Tsavo East and West. A dream come true. We saw the big five close by. It was impressive and beautiful.
Around and in Mombasa you can find nice hotels, cottages and resorts for reasonable prices. It is divers and save.
We also made a 4 day trip tu Lamu Island. A beautiful island with a lot of history. No cars and tuktuks but donkeys and Boda Boda,s. You can make a day trip with an original dhow (original sailingboat). And if you like even catch some fish.
The Kenia that I got to know is worthwhile visiting. The people are so friendly and warm, colourful and helpful. I will certainly come back next year to discover more.

Trip of a lifetime, lets do it again!
From our very first communications, the initial itinerary for our safari vacation, we had a good feeling about Earthlife Expeditions. Now that we have returned from the trip, we feel even better about choosing them!
One of our reasons for choosing Earthlife was we wanted the services of a local Tanzanian company who would know the area, support the local people and economy. So like many others seem to have done, we went with our "gut feeling" and chose a small company with few reviews but seemingly good references. This paid off in spades.
Deo and Catherine are professional, warm, and very accommodating. The details of our trip were planned perfectly, applying both our requests and Deo's terrific suggestions. Each and every place we stayed I wished we could stay longer. The tented camps are the place to be!
Our guide was outstanding. I am still amazed at his ability to navigate the "roads" in the parks, have a conversation about food, and spot an animal in a far off shadow all at the same time! He was incredibly knowledgable about both the wildlife, and the area. There is nothing we didn't see, and we learned quite a lot.
It was surprising how disappointing we felt when we had to leave him as we went on to Zanzibar. Upon our return to the mainland on our last day, we were then ridiculously excited when he ended up being the one to pick us up at the airport an on to our last days events.
Everyone at Earthlife works very hard to make their clients trip the trip of a lifetime. There service is nothing short of outstanding. Now I hope to make that once in a lifetime trip, a second time! Maybe someday.
Without reservations, I highly recommend this company for anyone going on a safari adventure.

Once a life good experience!
We love Botswana and our trip. It is a very organized trip, from beginning to the end. Service is great, people in the camps are very nice and responsible； delicious and veritable of local food; dinner tables set in front of the water pit, we can see animals group by group coming to drink water; great scenery , we saw many kind of animals , unique Africa trees, sunrise and sunset , etc. Our tour operator is very experienced and worked super hard to satisfy every customer. They often gave extra time if they found we are interested, never rushing, weather is hot, but temperature drop in the early morning and night. At night, you can hear the sound from animals but it is safe.
