An Unparalleled Safari Trip!
This was a great family Holiday for my parents, my sister (21) & and myself (23). Definitely the best family holiday we've been on thus far! Aside from travelling from national park to national park Daniel had planed a few activities for us to do during the day such as, visiting the Maasai Mara tribe to see and learn about how they live, going to the David Sheldrick centre to see and touch the orphaned baby elephants, & going to the Giraffe Centre where we got to feed and pet the tallest land animals. It was clear to see that Daniel put together an excellent itinerary adding a bit of variation and novelty every other day during our stay. During our 14 day trip we visited Amboseli, Kilaguni, Lake Naivasha, & the Masai Mara. The game drives were amazing! We were lucky enough to see 4 of the big 5 game animals (Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, & Elephant). Although not apart of the big 5 my personal favourite animal that we saw out in the Masai Mara was the Cheetah, they are just effortlessly cool.
Accommodation wise all the places we were booked into were spacious, clean, & aesthetically pleasing in their own ways. The accommodations at Kilaguni & Lake Naivasha in particular were exceptional, both had extraordinary and break taking views. The staff at all the Lodges were very friendly and helpful. We did have one incident whereby one of the the Lodges we were staying at (Maasai Mara) were not able to supply enough power for my mums oxygen mask which she needs at night for health reasons. After a quick phone call to Daniel, the manger of the lodge tended to the situation and hooked up an external generator to my parents room. My mum had also been complaining of her back problems from her previous operation creeping up again due to the bumpy ride. Again after talking to Daniel, a plane ticket to fly mum back from Maasai Mara to Nairobi was arranged which he kindly paid half of.
For the duration of our 14 day trip we were assigned the brilliant Richard, our Driver and tour guide. Because of him we got to see 4 of the big 5 animals, as well as numerous birds and mammals in the parks. Richard's knowledge of the wildlife and area was exceptional. It was rare to ask him a question about the wildlife or area that he couldn't answer.
All in all Transtrek provided us with an exceptional family holiday. The customer service provided was A+. Would definitely recommend them to others!
Myself and my family would like to personally thank Richard, Daniel, Wanjiku and co for a unforgettable holiday!

An intimate wildlife photography experience
At Close Quarters exceeded expectations, from the moment we arrived we felt welcome and at home. Accommodation was luxurious and we felt really immersed in the bush hearing lion/hyena and elephant every night from the safety of our beds. The outside shower was an added bonus. Meals were excellent and the hosts made sure we were well looked after.
Game viewing and photographic opportunities were superb and we saw the big five countless times. From 4 leopard sightings, to cheetah and a really special sighting of interaction between 7 fully grown male lions, Sabi Sands did not disappoint. After drive in the morning we had short photography lectures and training sessions using Adobe Lightroom which really helped increase our knowledge. A truly special experience.
A must on any wildlife photographers calendar.

Awesome experience.
The Safari was awesome. Everything was up to the mark. Only one thing I felt was the last day of the tour ended in just 2 hours. We could have been longer in the park and seen some more wildlife. The first day took us almost full day to reach the destination. We hardly got to see anything on the first day. Second day was the awesomest.
Third was disappointment.

An Amazing Adventure in the Maasai Mara
We had four marvellous days in the Maasai Mara with our giude Lenny Koshal. The first day we saw the big five within 3 hour, which was so much more than we hed expected.
Lenny is an excellent guide as he really knows the Mara and its wildlife well. He has a huge knowledge about the animals and how to find them, and when it comes to dining in the nature, he knows how to pick the most spectaccular places.
This was the most amazing adventure in the Maasai Mara, and I will absolutely recommend others to go on safaries with Tayiai Safari if you want an extraordinary experience of the nature and wildlife of Kenya.

Respectful & knowledgeable
Amazing Tanzania really made the difference in our safari experience. They arranged everything from the guide and transport to the lodges and permits- and there are NO hidden costs. The difference with other companies really becomes visible when you see them together. Our guide/driver knew a lot about the ecology and organisms there, and he'd rather explain something about them rather than trying to run them over to get the front seat as some other guides appallingly did. The lodges picked by Amazing Tanzania were also top-notch, with epic views and relaxed vibes. I really recommend them!

Kurt Safaris is the solution for a great 4x4 experience in Kruger Park.
Professionalism, excellent customer service, willingness to go off road to meet customers' satisfaction, and always ready to assist (trust me I had a few emergencies and Kurt was there to help), those are a few qualities I constantly pick-up whenever I use Kurt Safaris services for a 4x4 safari in Kruger Park. For memorable and amazing safaris experiences, Kurt Safaris is the company to go.

After a LOT of research we found the perfect agent for our safari.
Trying to decide which budget safari to choose was not and easy task. There are so many options and it is hard to find in the Internet references to them all, that is why we hope that our review helps other travelers to make their decision in which company to choose . There are thousands of options and for us the best thing to do was to go personally visit the offices of different companies to help us on the decision. We exchanged emails with at least 15 companies and pre selected 6 budget safari companies to talk face to face. Kenya Budget Safari was not the company with most reviews by far but I must say that Esther was surely the best in customer relations. She told us step by step how things should happen, she was very sweet and helpful and we felt really comfortable dealing with her. They delivered exactly what was promised and beyond.
Me and my wife surely recommend Esther services and we can say that we had one of the most amazing experiences on our 2 year travel around the world. Thank you Esther, thank you Kenya Budget Safaris.
