This is nature
I enjoyed 1 day private game drive. It was rather reasonable: $385 each including breakfast and lunch.
Unfortunately, we could see only buffalo among BIG5 from the distance. We could also come across zebra, impala, baboon, giraffe, hippo and crocodile. They said lions and elephants are sermon the day and the day before. Our guide drive said this is nature, animals are not always appear.

Professional and aware of the market with capacity to gauge client needs.
As a family of five (5) returning to Kenya after four years, we traveled on a Safari and took a coastal vacation through Leisure Tips Ltd. Leisure Tips was meticulous in choosing the right lodges with Maasai Mara (Keekorok Lodge and Tipilikwani Camp) we really enjoyed the hospitality of these two lodges, we had to stay in two lodges as August is a highly touristic period in Kenya and we were late birds in our booking. We belive Leisure tips has the right network when it comes to holiday homes. However, the driver of our Safari Van seemed to us a bit non adventurers and did not enable us the complete adventure that we were hoping to have such as of the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara and for which around our travel dates were planned , this was a down side. After days filled with exploration in the Maasai Mara, we made our way to the picturesque coast of Kenya, Galu Beach and here Leisure Tips selected one of the finest beach holiday rental that you could find in the area for some well-deserved relaxation this choice of holiday home (Lantana Galu) exceeded all expectations, providing a luxurious yet homely retreat nestled along the pristine shores of the Indian Ocean. The serene ambiance and warm hospitality instantly put us at ease, allowing us to unwind and recharge amidst breathtaking ocean views and gentle sea breezes, Lantana Galu and its surroundings is an amazing spot for snorkeling, boat rides, water spots and immersion to Swahili culture. Leisure tips, specifically Martin also arranged for our local transfers by SGR, Taxi and Air and this was flawless. We higly recommend Leisure Tips for your next vacation trips in Kenya, Martin will book you in some of the finest holiday rentals.

Incredible adventure
Embarking on a day trip to Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee Tour with Golden Memories Safaris proved to be a delightful and enriching experience. From the moment we were greeted by our knowledgeable guide to the final farewell, every moment was filled with wonder and discovery.
my day trip to Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee Tour with Golden Memories Safaris was a truly memorable experience that exceeded all expectations. For anyone seeking a blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and culinary delights, I wholeheartedly recommend Golden Memories Safaris – they are the epitome of excellence in Tanzanian tourism.

Tai Adventures is very detailed oriented.
Tai Adventures is a well organized tour operator🙂. They take you through the entire planning in terms of budgeting and the recommendations of the preferred locations. Their communication is exceptional,they communicate every step of the way of the entire process. When it comes for your value for money, they are worth every penny. I went to Zip line at Kereita Forest and my fear of heights was a problem 😥but the tour operator was gracious enough to calm me down and I was able to go through two zip lines, such an amazing experience!I would definitely do it again, and definitely with Tai Adventures 😃.

Fun adventure!
We did the 5 day tour to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Hells Gate. We were able to see so many animals and our guide Andrew was able to get us very close to a Cheetah and a pride of lions feasting, among many other encounters. We have so many amazing pictures thanks to him. Andrew was very nice and accommodating throughout the trip. We do wish the tour operator would have told us about the poor road conditions in Maasai Mara. It was a bit of an unwelcome surprise, however it did not ruin the trip. The accommodations were alright. Not amazing, but acceptable.

Experienced
It was a great experience.
We liked the food, the people at the tented camp and lodge, the great experience, the driver and we felt safe during our stay at the tent and lodge. However we’re a little sad about the fact that they said that the cars are good and you have backup like 5 cars. We were waiting for a solution in a short while, but it took 3.5 hours in the morning. The car has electricity problems, so so many times the car had to be pushed to start the engine. At one time there was no other car, so my husband an I had to push the car. That is no problem, but what if we were not at a safe place to push the car by ourselves, then we had to wait again for the car to start till some other safari jeep would arrive.

Review about Nyerere National Park by Harald Schulz
It were not the big five but maybe in the other national parks. We were in the wrong national park to see them.
This were the first safari and visit in Tansania .It was a great visit in this national park and we saw many another animals.
Our expectations were perhaps too high because we didn't get proper information before the tour.
The animals do what they want and not what we want.

Serengeti great, ngonrongoro even better
We did a 4 day safari with SafariSoles and our great guide Raymond. Just us in the 4x4.
All the accommodation was clean and well looked after. It's important to note that in Serengeti you shouldn't expect luxury westernised hotels. Lodges and camps are exactly that. The staff are unfailingly polite and helpful.
The food is freshly prepared but simple. Don't expect loads of options.
We stayed at Serengeti Lodge, Sero tented camp and Rhino Lodge. Great and different experiences. You will hear the wildlife very close by.
We were lucky to see the big 5. You need luck but it helps if your guide is knowledgeable as ours was. The serengeti is vast, the ngonrongoro crater is absolutely amazing.
Breathtaking scenery looking down at the crater. The scenery at Rhino Lodge was good too.
The weather was hot but we were always comfortable. No issues with mosquitoes, tsetse flies were annoying in one zone but only temporarily.
Met a few Masai when stopping for lunch.
