An adventure for two families
We were 4 adults and 4 children, from 9 to 14, booked from home for a 17 day tour. It was a fantastic adventure with high-skilled guide and very nice people to provide us a definitely enjoyable experience.
I would highly recommend all of them as a very best value for money.
Many thanks to Oscar and all his staff, always cool and in control when things turned out to be very exciting with elephants, buffalos, lions, leopard, cheetah and (of course ) wild dogs. We'll be back :-)
Best tip of the travel: when Oscar says:"during the night, stay in the tent", you do it!

top experience
This was our first Africa experience and it was a full hit.
With our 3 teenage kids, we went with Afro Wilderness on a 9 day safari. We visited the national parks of Arusha, Tarengeri, Serengite, Ngorongoro. Shiraz has a very good knowledge of animals and knows where find him in this parks.
We slept most of all on campsites, everything was taken care off, tents, food, a good land cruiser and a very kind cook (Jamal)
If you are looking for a good guide and good organisation, we can highly recommend them.

Following the migration
Everything went very well during our time in Tanzania, since the organization of the whole trip runned smoothly, we enjoyed the tented camps, and we were quite lucky on our game drives.
Our guide Deogratius was not only a great guide, but also at all times a very nice company!

the best safari ever done
The safari company was amazing and specially Paul who drive us in such nice spots to see incredible animals, like the lions on the trees, lions attacking zebras, leopards, cheetah in the wild, so beautiful and fantastic days in Uganda and the most interesting was our trip walk to see the gorillas in Bwindi Forest... an amazing experience that we will never forget... after a walk in the primary forest mountains, it was so impressive to see the gorillas family in their environnement and it was a great moment in connexion with them...

GREAT SERVICE, GREAT STAFF, GREAT SATISFACTION
It's so surprising when I think back that, it was only 10 days ago I was in Kenya. This was my first trip to Kenya and my first safari. Only five stars surfice for Twiga Tours as they have to date surpassed all of the tour operators that I have dealt with in the past. Yes, we too were met at the Nairobi Airport by the guides from Twiga Tours with hot towels, safari hats, and goodie bags and the hot champagne (sorry George) we had so far to walk to the carpark (the airport was under renovtion and the boys (guides) couldn't park close) anyone or thing would have been hot. Off we went to the Sarova Stanley Hotel (no not named after one of our guides) and once we had dropped our luggage and had a old drink we left for one of the attrations I was so looking forward to - the Daphne Sheldricks orphanage for motherless young elephants whose mothers have been murdered by greedy and ruthless ivory collectors. This was so rewarding and worth the visit. Then on to Karen Blixen Museum (of Out of Africa fame) and then back to the hotel. Every day of this 14 day safari was FANTASTIC, every day was a favourite. We travelled to Elephant Bedroom Camp and saw close up and personal animals only seen on TV or in books. This is situated in the Samburu Game Reserve. Two days later we were off the Sweetwaters Tented Camp situated in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. There I saw on the same day at the 'waterhole' more than10 elephants of all ages at one time and then later that morning a dozen or more (a tower) giraffe - apparently no one had witnessed that before. And some were sorry I hadn't gone on safari that morning (not for long). Two sleeps and we were off again, this time to Sarova Lion Hill Lodge and we saw 1000's of flamingos at Lake Nakuru, one sleep and we were off to Tipilikwani Luxury Tented Camp near the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Three sleeps later and unfortunately it was over. Doesn't sound much, you know the saying "You had to be there" so true for all of this. I have purposely left out the fantastic aminals and birds as I just didn't want to spoil your enjoyment. I have mentioned birds and I don't want you to do what I did - don't ignore getting information before you leave Aust. I did and I regret not having a bird book or the like. All of this safari is because of Twiga Tours they own all but one of the accommodation and these form an integral part of the whole adventure. Thank you Ali - our guide, and I am sure I speak on behalf of all the other travellers - thank you to: Stanley, Reubon and George for a job truely well done:-) Jambo Jambo - Karibu

Best holiday
We had a great time. Starting from booking to our very cool safari guide Daniel. Moureen from Kay Adventure Tours replied mails within a very short amount of time and was very helpful in finding the right safari for us. 4 days/3 nights it was - Tsavo East, Amboseli, Tsavo West. We were picked up from our hotel and the adventure began. It was truly an amazing experience and we will never forget it. Thank you!

Affordable safari, comfortable accommodations and we saw a lion up close!
Our tour guide, Tony, was very kind. He answered our questions as we drove to the national park and throughout the safari. His English was fine; we did need to repeat questions and did not always understand him. We would have liked him to share a little more information with us on his own (without us asking). We always felt safe with Tony driving.
The hotel accommodations were very comfortable - better than I expected for the low price we paid for the safari. It was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and we had all the amenities we needed.
We saw wildebeest, elephants, giraffes, baboons, hippos, impalas, zebras and several other animals on the safari. Our highlight was seeing a lion from 10 meters away. Tony always made sure we were ready to move on before driving away from an animal.
Kanuth was timely in responding to our emails and questions. We were very happy with the low price for the 2-day safari.
