Gleeful to choose Kenya Budget adventure!
If somebody is looking forward to have an exquisite and mesmerizing experience in the Masai mara with the wild life, here's a chance. They will always exceed your expectations to amaze you. We were little skeptical about a comparatively new company but from the booking to the reception and the entire trip arranged, was smooth and flawless.
The entire team has wonderful coordination among themselves. Commute, food, water, stay and game drive was profoundly taken care of, as per our request. We were really happy to have such an experienced and dedicated guide and driver 'Martin'. Inspite of having bad cold he didn't stop or deviate our program. He continued with the drive for 3 days in Masai mara till we were transferred to another car on the way to Lake Nakuru. He did his best to show us the best of Masai Mara.
Our Trip organiser 'Ruth' is very prompt and helping. Her instantaneous help starting from making of payment to choosing a nice place to stay in nairobi is worth mentioning. Her persuasion is simply fantastic. So, no matter from which part of the world you are traveling, you can completely rely on her reception and arrive at Nairobi.

I hit the jackpot!
I can honestly say I really landed on my feet choosing Kathy and Fan of Breakdown Safaris to tour with. A more delightful and knowledgeable pair would be hard to find and I left with two new dear friends.
The whole trip, from my first tentative enquiry to the last day, was fantastic. They both made it so easy and everything went perfectly on so many levels, from the organisation to the actual safari. It truly more than lived up to my expectations. I fell in love with East Africa in that week, a feeling that has only intensified.
I saw and learned an astonishing amount, laughed my head off, watched in awe, felt an intense sense of spiritual well being and healing and came away a rejuvenated woman. Such an experience cannot be quantified in money terms, so if you are contemplating this trip and feel concerned at putting a fair chunk of your holiday fund into this experience, stop worrying, it is worth every cent and a hundred times more.
Put your faith in these guys and you will walk home a different person. I guarantee you will love every minute!! I'm even happy to be contacted personally.

A wonderful experience, great Safari guide and excellent service!
We wanted to combine a visit to our daughter who was doing an internship in Tanzania with a safari/beach trip. She had arranged her trip through Caracal Tours & Safaris, so it seemed the most logical choice to do the same. All mails and questions were always answered promptly, even though Marion was about to give birth to their second child. Marion prepared a schedule that made it possible for our daughter to join us for the latter part of the safari. We went on the 6 day trip and were really impressed by Ben's eagle eyes and knowledge of all animals and especially birds. We saw the big five, thanks to Ben who seems to be able to spot a canary at a 5 mile distance. He is a very skilled driver who is capable of simultaneously driving and having a conversation and even then spot animals miles before we did. Also his sence of humour and the sometimes philosophical discussions we had during our trip were really great! But beyond all this, they have been a tremendous help when our luggage got lost, they kept in contact with the airport and Ben spent hours to retrieve our bags when they finally arrived and the only comment was: that is al part of the job. We slept in really diverse but all very nice locations and had a wonderful time! After the safari on December 24th, Ben drove us to our next destination and we still feel a little bad that that even made him miss Christmas eve at home, because he had to drive all the way back again all by himself (abt. 8 hour drive!) luckily he was back home again on Christmas morning. In addition to that, they have been really great to my daugther and her friend, helping them in many many ways, for which we are really thankful. All in all, an experience that exceeded all our expectations!

Ruaha with an expert
My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend a weekend of November 2015 with Paul Tickner Safaris at Ruaha National Park.
Having enjoyed some other sights of Tanzania, this proved to be a real - and well hidden - highlight, and Paul proved to be true expert in his field. His knowledge of the park and of the wildlife were apparent throughout the safari, and his local contacts ensured entirely faultless logistics.
We couldn't attach a higher recommendation for a safari with Paul. We look forward to visiting again.

Travelling with Makasa was fantastic!
Wildlife, nature and people in Tanzania speak for themselves. We really loved the tented camps, the beautiful tents, our fantastic guide Kalibi, the way our son has been taught so many amazing things during the gamedrives and the glass of wine at the fireplace.

2 day safari Mikumi nat. park
Pick up from DAR ferry terminal by Daniel and Mohammed.
Fantastic experience, our first safari. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, impalas, giraffes, whartogs, zebras etc. and all in close range with park entrance and cottage.
Very helpfull guide Mohammed. We slept in a cottage at the park. Diner was a good beef stew with rice,
a nice open bar under a big tree beautiful night with lots of stars.
In the very early morning Elephants at "our back yard"
we had breakfast the second day at 0600, but unfortunately Mohammed forgot to tell us that restaurant was not serving at that time but breakfast was ready on table.
Electricity is cut of at cottage from 00:00 till 06:00 (no light, fan or airco) so do not forget to bring a flashlight (!) and take this in account when you charge your batteries (you will make many photos / films)
unfortunately trip was in a regular van - not a 4W Jeep as on photo at request.
We had not taken in account the duration of the trip, from Dar to Mikumi is a 6 hr drive (approx 280 km).
schedule in short;
Day 1 pick up at Zanzibar resort at 0600 - arrival at park 16:00 hrs - afternoon drive till 18:30 - many animals
Day 2 breakfast at 0600 - drive (incl. lions at public "high"way) - departure to Dar at 0830 - Dar 1400, Ferry - back at resort 1830.
Again a very tiring but again fantastic experience !!

Exceptional
Nagi tours sent a guide to meet us at the border town of Namanga as we were to visit Tanzania through that town and proceeded on a 6 day safari which was well planned . I highly recommend this company to any tourist visiting Tanzanian parks.

Beautiful Uganda! Beautiful Gorillas! Beautiful Chimpanzees!
I had an amazing adventure, trekking through the rainforest in Bwindi, tracking chimpanzees in Kibale, and staying at extremely comfortable tent accommodations in Uganda. Peter, my guide and driver, was incredible and is now a life long friend. I especially appreciated the personal attention given to designing my time in Uganda. I wish there were ten stars for this rating!
