Family-friendly trip of a lifetime with Africa Starpal Safaris
I am so happy to enthusiastically recommend Africa Starpal Safaris! From our initial emails with Paul, who helped us plan the perfect tour for our group of 5, to the trip itself, with our amazing guide, the team at Starpal Safaris went above and beyond to make this a remarkable visit. I'm a regular travel and this was my sixth time in kenya but it was the best for my family for all the 8 days from the office,our guides very nice accommodation with sopa Naivasha topping on our list,this was absolutely a first-class experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and wonderful company, and taught us about Kenya natural history, wildlife, culture, history, and geology. He got us to the right place at the right time for amazing photos, and took into account the individual interests and abilities of everyone in our group. We will always recommend them for anyone going to kenya for a safari.

Budget Safari tour
We were on a 4 day budget class safari. We really liked the service provided, because everything was thought of. I really want to highlight the fact that the transfer from the airport to the hotel was provided before the Safari and also the transfer to the airport after the Safari. Everything happened exactly on time as agreed and at any moment you could contact the manager and solve all the questions.

Budget class safari
4 days and 3 nights on Safari was the perfect amount of time to see as many different animals as possible. We had a very responsive and smart guide, Manuel, who told us a lot of additional information about the animals, the environment and the Safari in general. We had a budget Safari package which was great as we got to experience tented living in the middle of the Safari. Although we had a budget package, we were accompanied by a private chef who prepared our meals.

Super organization and very pleasant team !
We booked a 2-day, 1-night safari in Mikumi.
A driver picked us up from our hotel in Zanzibar at 5am and dropped us off at the port to catch the ferry. Fessal agreed to keep our heavy luggage in his office to make the trip lighter (thanks again). After a 1h30 crossing, another driver picked us up and dropped us off at Mikumi Park (5h drive). We stopped for lunch on the way.
We arrived in Mikumi at 2pm and spent the whole afternoon on safari until sunset at 6:30pm (one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen).
The next morning, we woke up at 6am for a safari lasting until 9am, followed by breakfast and the drive back to our hotel in Zanzibar.
It's a long trip, but well worth it!
We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, impalas, wildebeest, beautiful birds, pumbas and lions!
The team is adorable, it was an incredible experience.
The Imara team did their utmost to make this safari unforgettable!
Thanks again to them!!!
They are very available, and advised us very well!

A Magical family trip of memories we will cherish forever...
They call it a “Magical” tour and it certainly was for us! We did a private 7-day trip spending 2 days at Meru (where the movie “Born Free” was filmed), 2 days in Samburu, one at Lake Navaisha and 2 days at Masai Mara. First of all, we owe a debt of gratitude to our driver/guide, Steve, for making this a wonderful trip. He spotted animals, took us to great spots, explained local customs, was always on time, and just a great travel companion! When we booked our safari, we looked at other people’s experiences through their comments. Native Afrika Voyages had good comments and offered us a reasonable price. We decided to trust them to organize our safari and are very glad we did! We couldn’t be happier with our trip! They are very professional and did a great job for us. The incredible scenery and the peace and tranquility of the animals in their natural habitats was so beautiful. Really a dream come true for us. If you’re on the fence, go for it! I highly recommend contacting the nice folk at Native Afrika Voyages. And ask for Steve to be your driver/guide!

Great experience
It was a great experience in Sabi Sands - Umkumbe Lodge. the Lodge, food, drives were amazing. We could see almost all big 5s (except for lion) and they were pretty close so we could take very nice shots. The lodge was also amazing from our room/tent we could watch animals (giraffes, elephants, kudu) walking by. I definitely recommend Sabi Sands. And everything worked out pretty smooth with MOAFRICA. I could reach out to my tour operator anytime I wanted to.

Disorganized safari
Disorganized safari, the guide didn't explain almost anything, poor vehicles, they join people that booked budget camping with people that booked mid-range lodges in far away places so there are a lot of wasted hours that should be instead used in the game drive. Absolutely terrible.

Fantastic
We saw everything what we had planned. 12 days on safari. Not easy managed this long trip, but it was perfect organisation. Only one of the cars was in not really good, but after two small quickly repair we could continue. It is true, that the road inside the parks aren´t good.We saw everything what we had planned. 12 days on safari. Not easy managed this long trip, but it was perfect organisation.

Beyond our expectations
We had a great safari in the Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara parks with Lomo Tanzania Safari.
Top organization with Annette who managed the booking phase with great skill and attention. Thank you Annette.
Then the guide David, was very professional, competent, kind, attentive, friendly and ... "with a great view", thanks to David we were able to meet all the big five including the rhinoceros as well as many other animals and birds of the savannah. Thank you David, you were fantastic.
We were also interested in seeing the cheetahs and we were lucky enough to meet them, thanking the ability of David to spot them among the trees.
The safari went far beyond our expectations, it was a shame that it was only three days, but we will make up for it in the future, always with Lomo Tanzania Safari that we highly recommend to anyone who wants to live the exciting experience of the safari.

Flexible and responsible in a short time.
Lizzy was very helpful when creating our itinerary. She was in contact with us all the time. I really appreciated. All acommodations were exactly the same like she promoted. Even if we wanted to upgrade our tented camp for a hotel, she was so quick to provide us perfect solution. We had a good time in Masai Mara and lake Nakuru. We really appreciate her effort.
We had only 1 small problem with our driver, who did not stop for an optional boat drive on lake Naivasha, because he was in rush.
