Big Five High Five
First off all excellent experience with safaribookings site for entire tour booking.
I traveled SOLO from Mumbai to Arusha. Before reaching Aursha I spent few hours in Dar Es Salam to visit city. I took airport registered taxi to visit city.
Then I joined the group for 5 days Safari in Arusha. National Parks included Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and NGoronGoro.. Each park has its own beauty and different games. Weather was excellent during our Safari.. Ngorongoro was cold compare to other parks. I stayed one night in Seronera Public camp site and one night in Simba camp.. Superb experience of camping. In all my journey I felt safe with the tour guide and within stay.
Food prepared was really delicious. We spotted all big five and lot of other animals and birds.
It was a life time experience for me. Thank you.

Tanzania - 3 parks and Big Five
Thank you Philemon, Iris and Jordan for the amazing safari experience. Everything from planning to execution was smooth and efficient.
We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Highlands Coffee Farm and had time of our life.
Philemon, our driver guide, was fantastic and he's knowledge of places, animals and people was amazing. He made us feel unique, not like just another customer.

Safari in South Africa won,t disappoint
In January 2023 my wife and I went on safari in South Africa prior to going to Cape Town to embark on a cruise.. I corresponded with ‘Safariwithus’ in October of 2022 to book a trip that coordinated with our time schedule and location criteria. Andre, our contact with Safariwithus, arranged a 5 day safari that included 2 nights in Kruger National Park, and 2 nights in Sabi Sands Game Reserve. I had some concerns about the excursion since we were celebrating our 62nd wedding anniversary (both of us are 82). Although we are both pretty healthy, the hosts and other guests were fantastic in tolerating 2 people who are not as nimble as they once were.
The company picked us up at our hotel in Johannesburg and took us to the first camp, Kruger Adventure lodge in Kruger. Commute was about 5 or 6 hours. We had two days with 2 game drives each day and were lodged in a cabin for two. The game drives were fruitful and we saw lions (at a distance), elephants, Giraffes and other game animals. The accommodations, meals and game drives were good.
On the third day we were taken from Kruger Camp to Sabi Sands Game Reserve. We were lodged in a Tented Camp in the bush named Umkumbe Bush Camp. I cannot say enough about the quality, ambiance, client care and service the lodge staff provided. It was, in a word, outstanding. Accommodations were wonderful, game drives hard to describe unless you were there. Our Guide for the drives – Jacques, was extremely knowledgeable and anticipated the movements and locations of the game unbelievably well. We saw all of the Big 5 and other animals up close and personal from our open top land rover. It was certainly the highlight of our trip. I cannot express the quality of this part of the five day trip. On the fifth day we were picked up at Umkumbe Bush Camp and taken back to our hotel in Johannesburg.
I give agency and staff and the camps and staff a hearty ‘Thank You’ for a memorable trip. I recommend it highly.

great 5 days in Selous
I went with Kanuth Adventures to Selous from Dar in December for 5 days. Both our driver/ guide Immanuel and the cook Joseph were very nice and did a great job. We spent the first and the last night in Hippo Camp just outside of Selous Reserve, doing a nice boat tour on the evening of the first and a walking safari on the morning of the last day. The three days in between we spent in Selous, camping at Lake Tagalala (thus staying right in the middle of the reserve and not losing unnecessary time driving in and out). There were not as many animals as you see in the pictures from Serengeti, but I very much enjoyed the experience as we did find lots of animals (lions, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, various monkey, giraffes, water bucks, impalas, warthog, wild dogs (!) ...) but it was really being out in the wild without too many cars around. Food was excellent and Immanuel was a good guide and a safe driver. We had some problems with the car one morning but Kanuth organised a replacement car and a mechanic so that was solved in reasonable time. Great trip at avery reasonable price! Thank you!!!

Once in a lifetime experience into the wild savannah
I had booked a 3-days safari in Masai Mara through a website named "safaribookings" and I inquired a few options for Masai Mara, one of the best one seemed to be "Explorer Kenya".
Everything was well coordinated and our driver (Martin) pick up in Nairobi was extremely punctual and professional.
We enjoyed every minute of the journey and were lucky enough to spot all the big five within the end of the second day.
We stayed at the camp "Ashnil Mara" which was amazing. Meals and service was perfect. Only negative point was no internet connection in any area of the hotel during the first 1,5 days, then they had it fixed.
Nature was gorgeous and all the staff at the camp was simply amazing.
The commute from Nairobi to the camp is pretty long (some 6-7 hours) so be prepared. The 4x4 vehicle was comfortable and our driver/guide was very knowledgeable about wildlife including birds.
All in all, a fantastic experience to remember for the rest of my life.

Excellent experience
I had an amazing safari with my family. I am very happy about the arrangements and the gamedrives fulfilled more than my expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was more than willing to find the Big five for us.
We stayed at five different lodges, one of the best was at a coffe farm. It is absolutely worth a visit.
A big Thank you to Iris and Philamon för making our safari one of our best experiences.

Huge wildlife, need at least 5 days
We took a 4 day trip to Tanznia to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro national parks. We took a trip with Savanah explorers with a tour guide Geofrey and ir was excelent. The guide knew everything about the animals, very qualified. However, I recomend to take 5 or 6 days for safari, it will be worth it. It is more worth to take a longer sfaro, but less expensive accomodation.

Amazing friendly country with affordable options!
Kenya itself is an amazing country with so much to offer. While its big and you definitely need to plan how to get around, the country has so many friendly people. People are positive, full of smiles and helpful. They speak English very well. Staff are courteous and helpful and make me smile.
Kenya offers many. From beaches, hiking to safaris; anything is possible. I was able to book safari with safaribookings.com and they made the process so easy. I saw so many lions in Masai Mara on my birthday on Christmas Day. Then I booked a flight to Mombasa from Nairobi and the process was easy.
Safety is always important for me. I felt pretty safe throughout Kenya. However I don't advise wandering alone at night. Nothing happened to me but I would not trust walking alone at night anywhere in the world anyway.
Overall I would love to come back and see more of what Kenya offers. Its also very cheap so many of the foods and accommodations are very affordable.
