A magical safari experience from beginning to end; everything well thought out and executed.
I cannot use enough superlatives to describe the perfection of our mother/daughter trip Marianne designed for us! She thought of every detail ensuring both our comfort and safety. The accommodation and food throughout all lodges and guest houses I would rate as a 10 and the people at each location were thoughtful and certainly aimed to please their guests. Our mail concern, being two women travelling alone, were the transfers between our many destinations and they all went smoothly as Marianne saw to that. She was professional and friendly in all our dealings and countless emails offering us suggestions and options to choose from within our budget. The safari lodges she chose for us were beautiful and comfortably appointed and their drivers and trackers ensured we saw eveything possible. Our trip was the dream of a life time and we owe it all to Marianne's careful and meticulous planning. We had a dream and she made it happen!

Ngoko Safaris, why try the rest, these are the best!...... By Far!
From your first contact with Fiona at Ngoko you know you are someone special.
I know of no other company that will go to so much trouble to ensure your trip is exactly tailored to your needs.
Travel with Benson as your guide for your total African experience.
Bensons humour, knowledge & bush skills are second to non, he is lauded by his peers & is one of the top ten African Safari guides in many lists!
We have been traveling to Africa for the past 14 years & in that time I expect we have contacted over 100 safari companies & received many, many quotes & itineraries.
We have specific needs & are very individual in our Safari requirements only Ngoko seem to have listened to these needs & then planned the itinerary to meet our demanding requirements.
Adjustments have willingly been made to fine tune that itinerary for our perfect trip.
WE have repeatedly returned to Ngoko Safaris to arrange our trips to Africa.

Totally Awesome !!
From the moment I found Benson Safaris right through to the moment Benson dropped us off at the airport for our onward flight to Zanzibar, the whole safari experience totally lived up to our expectations and beyond. Before we flew to Tanzania, I bombarded Benson with questions constantly about the safari and he replied almost immediately and answered my questions and put my mind at rest. Not only Benson but our chef and our tour guide Ringo who were with us throughout our safari were amazing. We were so lucky in that we got to see The Big 5 but aside from that, the whole experience was amazing and one we will never forget. Our chef produced meals that I didn't think possible when camping !!! Our tour guide Ringo was a constant source of knowledge and fun ! Would not hesitate to recommend Benson Safaris to anyone ... safaris should be a once in a lifetime experience but if we ever did another safari, I think it would be hard pushed to live up to this one .. Thank you so much Benson and your team :-) :-)

Magical trip, well organised, well run, great experience
My wife and I, along with 2 other close friends, had never been to Africa and were looking for an intimate and personal experience up close with the wildlife. Expedition Kenya Safari exceeded our expectations enormously and gave us the best adventure ever!
Patrick had planned our itinerary perfectly, taking into consideration our specific interests first, as well as making sure we didn't miss any of the major highlights Kenya has to offer. His communication all the way along was first class.
A Flawless trip, with fantastic accommodation throughout, Patrick had it all covered. Even when we had a minor dilemma with our credit card being swallowed by an ATM in outback Kenya, Patrick sorted it immediately and had our card returned within minutes, including ensuring no funds had been accidentally taken.
Our driver and spotter John was superb and got us to incredible vantage points to observe all of the wildlife, including the big 5, in their natural environment. His extensive knowledge of all the wildlife added enormously and gave us the most magical experiences we could have imagined.
Our trip was full of laughs, incredible animals, great experiences and together as a group we simply had the best fun!
Thank you so much Patrick and John for giving us one of the most memorable holidays imaginable.
I have no hesitation in recommending Expedition Kenya Safari to anyone considering a safari in Kenya.
We'll be back for sure!

Review about Amboseli National Park by PG
Amboseli reminds one of the stark dusty plains from 'Mad Max: Fury Road'. The park is incredibly dusty and you can see huge dust storms in the distance when driving around. But the wildlife on offer is spectacular and we saw all of the big five except for leopards.
There is something primal and timeless about the place, the way the huge herbivores amble around in the shadows of mighty Mt Kilimanjaro. One can't help shake the feeling that this scene has been playing out for millions of years.

This is an unique place.
Nogorongro Crater is one of the four safari destinations, Masa Mara, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Nogorongoro Crater, we visited this August (we also took a side trip to Victoria Fall). It has an unique landscape that is hard to describe. Our guide jokingly said it looked like Eden.
We stayed at Nogorongro Crater Lodge for 2 nights. Our cabin sits on the rim of the Crater. The swiping view of the crater from the room was breathtaking. The facility, the service and the food were very good.
The park even being a crater is not really isolated from outside area. The variety of wild life in other parks can all find here. It is just more densely packed in this small area. The game drive experience was similar to that of Serengeti or Masa Mara. The difference is that the floor is completely flat. There was no tall grass either when we visited. You could see the other end of the park miles away. Therefore it was easier to spot wild life activities far away. I saw ostrich mating dance at a far distance. With all the cars crisscross the crater floor, the animals quite get used to the tourists. Lions sat at the road side letting tourists taking closeup pictures. In short conclusion, if you want to see big migration, this is not the place, If you want to view African wild life in an unique landscape, this is the place.

Exciting Experience
I have been to Kenya before but I never get enough of it. It especially gets Better when I tag along my friends. The Wildlife is Awesome, Amazing countryside, adorable people and very warm reception. I must not forget to mention my two friends at Kiboko Kenya Safaris, Noel and Clare. I credit them with my experiences there, they are great safari planners. I have been to Panaroma and the Great Rift valley lodge and they are just superb.
