Superb Suricta Safari Tour
5/5

This 5-day safari tour was a perfect balance of adventure, wildlife viewing, and relaxation. Tanzania’s beauty is staggering, and the abundance of wildlife makes every moment exciting.

Whether you’re an avid photographer, a nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I highly recommend this tour. Each park we visited had its own charm, and the memories we made will last a lifetime.

Suricata Safari went above and beyond for the entirety of our stay and made every single moment special. Mandela was extremely good throughout the entire experience and really showcased his experience, knowledge and passion for everything safari & had no issue accommodating plenty of toilet stops or spotting a pack of lions whilst driving, giving information & checking the vehicle was safe. Mandela made it his personal mission to ensure we saw the big 5 and he certainly didnt fail!

The food was exeptional at all sites and throughout the safari, with a cooked meal for lunch everyday without fail! - with 2 vegetarians & a ceolaic (gluten free) this was no small task.

The only tour guide to use! - excellent execution & organisation from Start to finish!

Unforgettable Kenyan Safari: A Perfect Family Adventure with African Flash McTours
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya with my fourteen-year-old daughter, organized by African Flash McTours & Travel. From the moment we landed, the entire experience was smooth and professional, thanks to our tour consultant, Eston Manegene, and our phenomenal guide, Simon.

Simon's expertise and passion for the wildlife and local culture truly elevated the trip. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals and shared fascinating insights into the ecosystem and Masai Mara'sMara's rich history. Whether it was our first exhilarating game drive or witnessing the majestic lion pride, Simon ensured we had front-row seats to the magic of the African savanna.

Our accommodations within the Masai Mara National Reserve were comfortable and a sanctuary amidst the wild beauty. Every detail—from the delicious meals to the stunning landscapes—was well-coordinated, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highlights of the trip included the iconic migration of wildebeests, a serene balloon safari, and a heartwarming visit to a traditional Masai village, where we were welcomed with songs and dances that left a lasting impression.

African Flash McTours provided exceptional service, ensuring our safety and comfort at every step. Simon's guidance made this experience one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the wild beauty of Kenya. Every moment was well-paced, safe, and thrilling—a perfect adventure for families or anyone eager to immerse themselves in nature.

This is an excellent choice for anyone considering a safari. You'll leave with memories to treasure for a lifetime!

Amazing people
5/5

Everything was great our guides in Zanzibar and also in the Safari was awesome. But specially Lawrence, our guide in safari.
Was very good man. He knows everything about the nature, he was a lovely guy. We had fun with him. We love to have discussions about everything.

I will suggest everyone to go in Tanzania with Professional Safari but please ask for Lawrence. You will have an amazing experience.

Great tour operator, very accommodating and helpful and set up a great tour.
5/5

Full Package Adventures set up a custom mid-range cost tour for my daughter and me that included 3 parks for safari followed by a trip to Zanzibar. Our safari guide, Gilbert, was wonderful! Knowledgeable, accommodating, great English, easy to be with. We highly recommend him. We haven’t finished our tour yet but Eileen’s Tree Inn was lovely. We would recommend Full Package Adventure tour company. Thought the service was great and they were a good value for the money.

Terrible company, old cars with zero mainenance
1/5

I want to share our experience with Kofi Travel with you. We rented a Toyota Camper Cruiser for 16 days. Everything went perfectly until we accepted the car at the airport. When booking, I clearly asked if the A/C worked. "Yes, this one works perfect," it was said. I found out 10 minutes after picking up the car that the front windshield wiper wasn't working. I created this in the group app and reported it immediately. The answer was promptly given. However, we didn't have time to wait and started driving towards Amboseli. This ride was a horror. The car bounced enormously. The tires were at more than 4.5 bar. This is more than twice as high. This causes the car to move in a dangerous manner. While braking at +/- 60 km/h, the car pulled enormously to the right. The front brake calipers did not work properly; it was very dangerous. The A/C did not work at all, even though they said it would. To be fair, they made proposals to solve the problems. However, these problems were already present when we received the car. This means to me that the car receives no maintenance at all before they give it to customers.
We soon found out that the Camper Cruiser consumed a lot of fuel—1 liter of petrol for 3 km driving. Extremely high consumption if you visit remote places. There was a jerry can in the back of the car, which is nice, but a loose jerry can full of fuel in the car does not seem safe to me. Another negligence from a rental company that continuously says they consider safety the most important thing for their customers. I found a garage near Amboseli and had the windshield wiper motor repaired. They checked the A/C, but the compressor was broken, so it could not be repaired quickly. I had to pay 20,000 Ksh total. I passed all this on via WhatsApp. "This will all be refunded," they said. So far, all friendly and helpful.
After Amboseli, we had a stopover near Nairobi. I was notified that there was another car for us. We were super happy. The car was delivered to the agreed location on time. I had asked if they wanted to bring the second car with a full tank because we already had the Camper Cruiser filled up with petrol. This had not happened; they siphoned the fuel with a hose. Problem solved, we thought. With the second car, we drove towards Shomphole, a remote area where we had booked two accommodations. This was on an asphalt road. During a stop, I discovered that we had a fuel leak at the tank. They had tried to close it with pieces of rubber from slippers. I reported this and received the response that we had punctured the tank by driving over a rock. They started to lie, and I don't like that. We had power problems on the way to Laikipia. I looked at the air filter; it was full of holes, and we got dust on the airflow meter. The throttle cable was loose and had been tightened amateurishly.
Overtaking trucks was dramatic and dangerous without power. The 4x4 lever was broken off in the car, making shifting difficult. I reported all this. A proposal was made by the management to return the car to Nairobi and get the remaining money back. I wasn't friendly anymore. I did not agree with this proposal. Returning the car to Nairobi would take me two days. We had booked a camp in Laikipia to see the black panther. This costs $2,000 per night for two people. Do you really think I'll just come to Nairobi to return the car? I was later told that I was out to get money from them and that I had lied about the 20,000 Ksh. After a conversation with the owner, we agreed that we would receive a 5-day refund. He suggested 3; I wanted 5. This was verbally agreed upon; he did not give this either and said I was lying. We booked Shomphole Wildersniss, Lentorre Lodge, and Laikipia Wildersniss in Kenya for $18,000. If it was a matter of money, I wouldn't have booked these expensive accommodations. So folks, I could go on and on. Be careful when renting a car from this company.
They are friendly, which is nice. But the cars are terrible, dangerous, without any maintenance, and extremely old. On another review page, the owner responded that we chose the budget car and they suggested the Land Cruiser 78, which was the best option. This never ever happened; he was lying again. And then, this means they offer low-budget cars that are terribly unsafe and with zero maintenance. Think carefully before doing business with these guys.

A dream came true!
5/5

After comparing various different tour-operators we decided for Ndutu Green Explorers. A big part of that was the very good Communication with Tom, who helped us to plan every little detail of our safari! Tom was always kind, answered very quickly and it was never a problem to change or adjust something! Every single accomondation Tom booked for us was awesome. Always kind people, very good food and clean rooms!
Furthermore, our guide Ombeni did an excellence job! He provided so much knowledge about every national park and animal! You could really tell that he cares about the animals. There he never speeded towards animals (unlike other guides) and always gave them the freedom to decide how close they want to get…. which in the end brougth us some very close and special encounters! This really was the Safari of our dreams! Thank you so much Tom and Ombeni!

Experienced and talktive
5/5

We saw lots of the animals on our tour. You could have really close encounters but also some can only be spot in distance (like the rhino). Overall, pretty good. Try to communicate proactively with your guide to get the what you want.

Helpful, prompt, friendly
5/5

The tour operating company is very prompt to reply to any questions or inquiries which was very helpful since we did our booking all the way from South Korea.

Moreover, we were very happy with our tour guide who added so much delight to our trip with his very positive attitude, super friendliness and well mannered attitude.

The car itself was a bit problematic at times with engine going off and a bit of rain leak in the car but we understood this as a part of Safari experience.

Overall, the trip was definitely an unforgettable experience for us and we would most likely recommend Mustafa to be your tour guide if you are looking for a happy friend to lead and accompany you thru the adventures 😊
