NaShibe is the most dishonest tour operator I have ever had!
I had a very unpleasant tour with Nashibe, where I found their tours from safari booking.com which I suggest this company should be removed from the website, to avoid more people being cheated by them.
I had an agreement with Caren from the company with a price and lodge accommodation. After my deposit paid, she sent me a almost totally different itinerary. My 7 nights lodge has changed to 3 nights in Camp, 2 nights in a resort which the price was not even as half as my original itinerary booking( showing on the booking.com).
I had to join the tour cos they already took my 30 percent deposit!
The only 2 nights lodge I stayed , one has a big pitfall next to my room! I trapped into it as walking in the dark and injured myself! All they did was just moved me to another room!
The driver we were provided got a bit sick from the first day of safari, I asked if he is ok or do we need change to another driver but he insisted to continue. However everyday we have to negotiate for not finished the safari early and stick with the itinerary plan! We’re literally exhausted by just dealing with him. Not to mention the last day we drove back to Nairobi and he was caught by police cos somehow his license was expired and we were stopped on the road for 2 hours !

Excellent safari journey with MorningStar
We 2 persons, chose Morningstar as our safari agency becasue of a quite detailed, prompt response from Alice. She is always helpful, patient and agile for all my questions or the situations we met. All quotations has the breakdown, even proposal changes, there will be a transparent update on the quotation which make us feel morningstar is reliable. It might not be the cheapest price but it's our choose to secure us a pleasant, expected journey in Africa.
Morningstar is quite reliable, you can also find that they had a good relationship with the lodges/camps when we check-in in different places.
Alice arranged Willy as our 10 days safari guide and driver, I highly recommend Willy as the safari guide because of his excellent drive skills (safety first especially you may have long-time drive from one national park to another), rich experience on animals behavior and habitat! The most important thing is that Willy highly repect the animals, he knows what kind of distance should be kept between the vehicle and animals, so that the wildlift can be respected and protected, while the guests can also get the good photoes. We should always respect the wildlife, this is their home.
I would recommend morningstar to our friends.

Sympatic
We got the option for three days and sleeping in a tent both nights, which was the cheapest option. We saw lots of animals and our driver was amazing, he told us a lot about the landscape and the animals. The food was totally fine, the tents were okay for the two nights. If I would do a Safari for longer, I would recommend the other nights in the lodges. All in all we had an amazing time and it was a wonderful experience, to see the wildlife in Tanzania!

Unforgettable Desert Safari with Stunning Scenery and Great Value
I had an amazing experience on this tour! The desert scenery was breathtaking—truly like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The abundance of wildlife was a highlight, as we saw so many different animals up close. The guide was fantastic and took great photos for me throughout the trip, which was a nice touch. Considering all the experiences and the quality of service, the tour was excellent value for money. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable and affordable adventure!

Amazing trip to Tsavo East
Trip organized by Steve was the best choice that we could made. During 2-days Safari in tsavo east we have seen elephants, giraffe, hyena and even lions. Additionally Steve took us to amazing river where we had a chance to see hippo and crocodiles. We spend a night in lodge located on top of the hill with swimming pool and incredible viewes. I can totally recommend trips organized by Steve

Nice Tour for Safari Starters
The Safari was our first and well organized. The contact from killpath was always available and very kind. We booked The 3 day basic camping Trip. I enjoyed The crater much more since in serengeti by that time in October it's lots of dry grasland and it's more difficult to find the animals and its a long and tiring drive. When they are found, almost all cars gather around them, kinda like in a zoo. Because of that, I would do it again but around January or Feburary and with one more day in Serengeti to get more North. But we still saw lots of animals with a really good view and our driver was reallly nice! The camping was in total okay. The food was good and we had enough water for all. I would recommend bringing a pillow and own toilet paper with you since that was missing.

Amazing Safari Experience with Spirit of Kenya!
We had an incredible time during our trip with Spirit of Kenya. The first two days on a safari trip at Lake Nakuru were absolutely fabulous. Our guide, Bonny, ensured we saw as many animals as possible, including lions, rhinos, giraffes, and even a leopard! Bonny's knowledge and dedication really enhanced our experience, as he took the time to explain everything and made sure we saw the animals we were most excited about. Big shoutout to him for making those days unforgettable!
The Nairobi city tour was equally enjoyable. Our guide, Gideon, was wonderful and made the entire experience insightful and fun. He provided us with lots of interesting facts and went above and beyond to make the day special.
While we were exploring places, museums, markets, he waited for us at the car to make sure that all our stuff are safe.
We've traveled a lot, but this time with Spirit of Kenya was exceptional. Despite minimal email and message exchanges, everything went smoothly. The logistics were flawless, and the guides were always there ahead of time, ready and waiting for us.
Thank you for an amazing trip, and I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable experience!

Unforgettable Experience with Gifted African Adventures!
I recently completed the 7-day Lemosho Route trek up Kilimanjaro with Gifted African Adventures, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!
From the moment I arrived, the team was incredibly welcoming and professional. Our guides were not only knowledgeable about the mountain and its ecology but also attentive to our needs, ensuring we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. They provided excellent insights into the local culture and environment, enriching our experience even further.
The trek itself was absolutely breathtaking. The diverse landscapes we encountered—from lush rainforests to stunning alpine deserts—were nothing short of spectacular. Each day brought new challenges and awe-inspiring views, making every step worth it.
The support staff, including porters, were phenomenal. Their hard work and dedication made our journey smoother, allowing us to focus on the climb and enjoy the stunning surroundings. The meals provided were delicious and exceeded my expectations, fueling us for the day ahead.
Reaching Uhuru Peak was a dream come true, and the sense of achievement I felt was amplified by the incredible support from the entire Gifted African Adventures team.
Overall, my experience with Gifted African Adventures was unforgettable. If you’re considering a trek up Kilimanjaro, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing this company. They truly made this adventure of a lifetime possible!
Thank you, Gifted African Adventures, for an amazing journey!

Kenya Safari Tour
We contacted Nevill before the trip. He was a very nice guy. He answered all our questions. Sometimes WeChat replies were slow, but we just needed to ask a few more times. He would help us confirm whether the hotel was available without paying a deposit. After confirmation, we paid the deposit. The balance was paid in person after landing. It was kato certified so it was more reliable. Our guide was James. He drove very steadily, paid special attention to avoiding potholes, had a good eye for finding animals, and actively helped us communicate with other local guides we met on the road to exchange information and find animals. However, we needed to take the initiative to ask and communicate about animals or routes. It was not suitable for single friends. Double friends or as long as there were double people in a team, we could go for it. He was very reliable.

A perfect safari in Kenya
I was happy to have the perfect Safari with extra miles. I saw so many animals here, they were so alive and cute. Joseph was amazing, he was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the trip and helped me with a lot of difficulties. In addition, our guide Fred was wonderful, very professional and experienced, showing us all the animals we wanted to see, including lions, hunting leopards and cheetahs, and he was a very helpful friend, taking care of us all the way and answering our questions, thank you very much. While in Masai Mara, Fred told the hotel that it was my birthday and the hotel gave me a complete birthday surprise and I had a birthday cake on the prairie. If you come to Kenya Safari, this is a very good choice and I recommend them to you.
