Professional service
I planned a Safari trip with Relish of Africa, but unfortunately the trip didn't work out for personal reasons.
Along the last weeks I was in contact with Andrew who helped me a lot in planning the trip.
He was very professional and very responsive. He answred all my questions.
I felt that I was in good hands.

Efficient, flexible and friendly
Brian and Jackson managed to make our tour of Uganda a fantastic and unforgettable experience. I travelled with my wife and two children, 18 and 20 years old. Our tour of Uganda started in Kampala and included the mountain gorillas in Bwindi, the orangutangs in the Kibale National Park, the Queen Elisabeth National Park, The Murchison Falls National Park and waterfalls and then back to Kampala. Brian and Jackson were efficient, it was clear that they had done the tour many times before and knew how to deal with any issues along the way. Since they are well known by all the lodges we were very well received wherever we stayed over. Alos, when we wanted to make changes in the pre-bookings, for example when we wanted to stay an extra day in the Kibale National Park, they arranged the necessary changes in the bookings of lodges. They were also very knowledable about the wild animal life. Finally, both Brian and Jackson were also very friendly and became real friends with our son and daughter, quite important since on a tour like this one you spend many hours together in the car.

5 Day Aberdare, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara private safari on honeymoon
We had an incredible experience with Keron Safaris and hotels!
Starting with the booking process with Kenny. He made sure that all our requests were worked out, he reacted very quickly and was a great help in organizing everything.
As for the safari itself everything went as planned, a private tour in an spacious and comfortable Jeep 4x4 equipped with fresh water and binoculars (this was great!). We visited Masai Mara,Lake Nakuru and Aberdare which are both beautiful and different parks!
We had a fantastic guides Gideon. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned a lot of him and he did everything so that we were able to spot the big five...
All the lodges (luxury camps)were excellent and had fantastic locations. The people were all very friendly.
The Covid-situation in Kenya is not scary at all. The lodges are "not really overbooked " and every destination we stayed had a hygiene concept. We always felt safe.
I would 100% recommend this experience and Keron safaris to everyone! Looking forward to repeat, thank you Kenny & Gideon!

Amazing
Ruaha National Park with Ernest is the best way to visit it. It was my second time in Ruaha, and thanks to him we got to see many other places, It was beautiful. During the game drive he takes so many little roads into the bushes and you spot many more animals . I would recommend to anyone Wild Gaze Safaris as they are very professional and Ernest does his job with passion.

Excellent Safari with Raymond
Thanks to Raymond from Great Image Expedition. And they definitely live up to that name. This was a lifelong dream of mine, and Raymond made my time in his country more special than I already imagined. For the entire (too quick) week, I got to be the only passenger in his entire large vehicle, so we got to know each other better and make a new friendship, rafiki. He definitely taught me a lot more about his home than I could ever learn from books and television. And I also appreciate the help with my Swahili. I hope that future visitors will be fortunate enough to have such a fantastic guide. Asante sana, Raymond

untrustworthy
I booked this 3 day tour, clearly stating that because I was alone I wanted to join a group. I received my itinerary in advance, 1 day: drive to the National park followed by a driving safari from afternoon to the evening. Day 2 driving all day, day 3 return.
2 days before the start of the safari, I got a message saying that the plan had changed, the people I was supposed to be with had changed their mind, and therefore I would go on a walking safari on the first day as "it would be great and I would be closer to the animals".
On arrival, the ranger laughed at me as I was in trainers. What I did not know was that due to the rain season the terrain was muddy and I would need boots, which I did not have. I managed to borrow a pair that were 2 sizes too small and we went off anyway. Again due to the rain season the grass was very high and almost impossible to walk, suffice to say I saw absolutely nothing.
Jimmy the organiser knew this and when I told him this was not ok, the reaction was that as I was alone I was costing him too much and what I had paid for did not cover his expenses. This should not have been my concern. Thankfully day 2 was very good but only due to a great guide Amir. Also any local will tell you that safari is either early morning or evening, not all day. Jimmy is not honest and you should chose another tour.

An exciting safaris experience
A shout out to Great Image Expedition and the entire team. We just completed 8 days safari there in early April and it was beyond expectations. Services were great, food was very delicious, the tour was just right, and the Accommodations were very luxury while still maintaining the :traditional" Safari experience....Totally crazy! Thanks again!

Amazing trip to Nyerere, great value for money
We did a 4 day/3 night safari to Nyerere National Park with Ernest. We had the most amazing time and I can't say enough good things about Ernest and Wild Gaze.
We initially got in touch with Ernest when we were still planning what we wanted to do and he helped us plan everything to encompass exactly what we were looking for with a super reasonable budget. He worked with us on making sure everything was set in advance so we didn't have to worry about anything.
My friend and I felt looked after the whole time. Our accommodation was basic, but very budget friendly, which is what we were going for. Ernest's game drive through Nyerere National Park was stellar. I've been on several safaris in Tanzania and Ernest is such a professional, really going above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. He just very clearly is an expert in what he does. He arranged for really great specialist guides as well for our boat safari and for a bush walking safari.
The whole experience was excellent from the time he picked us up in Dar es Salaam to when he dropped us back off four days later. I will definitely be back in touch to arrange future safaris with Ernest.
