Beautiful country; beautiful people
Wow, Tanzania was way more incredible than I had anticipated. I started with a trek up Kilimanjaro with Tusker Trail (highly recommended), and I was impressed with how well-maintained the trails, huts, and facilities are there. I heard scary stories, but none of them turned out to be true. Standing atop a 19,000' peak is a monumental achievement for me. It should be on every avid hiker's list, in my opinion.
After my trek I went on safari with Suricata (also recommended). It was other-worldly! You don't get that close to the wild animals in a zoo! And, thankfully, they are in their own home -- not forced (or drugged) into submission in a tiny cage. I went to Tarangire (great for elephants!), Ngorongoro (rhinos!!), and Serengeti (everything!!!). The birds are abundant and colorful. Lilac-breasted roller -- oh my! Secretary birds, bustards, water birds, and raptors. My guide was very knowledgeable and congenial.
The people in Tanzania are beautiful, too. While they may be poorer than many of us in the western world, they are a happy and friendly bunch, always with a hearty "Jambo!" and carefree "hakuna matata". I wish it didn't take so long to get there from where I live, but it was worth every hour spent in airports and jets to see such a beautiful place.

Amazing is all I can say!
We had the most amazing experience in Kenya. We toured Tsavo West National Park. The people, the wildlife, the scenic beauty, and the hospitality were unparalleled. Totally worth it!

Excellent Service from Hermosa Life Tours and Travel
Hermosa Life Tours and Travel are outstanding. We had a fabulous five day trip with everything very well organised. Oreste and Eric were excellent to deal with an assisted us with all our questions to make the most of our time in Rwanda. We had a wonderful guy Didi who looked after us superbly for five days and made sure we were comfortable and accommodated. He was always willing to assist and no request was too difficult. We were sad to leave him on the last day. I cannot recommend Hermosa Life Tours and Travel highly enough. Visit Rwanda. It is a remarkable country and the gorillas are so very special.

Fantastic
I had an incredible experience with Azas Safari! Their professionalism throughout the trip was top-notch, from the detailed planning to the expert guidance. The highlight was the gorilla trek—absolutely breathtaking! The guides were knowledgeable, ensuring we had a safe and unforgettable encounter with these majestic animals in their natural habitat. Highly recommend Azas Safari for anyone looking for a well-organized, thrilling adventure!

Outstanding, exceptional and great. Great communication, helpful and friendly
From initial contact for a quote and itinerary to being dropped at the airport for the end of our Safari, Estleon was great.
Esther was great in setting everything up, booking our accommodation, answering our questions either by email or phone (using WhatsApp so international calls didn't cost).
Our driver Willy was superb, he was friendly and couldn't do enough to make our safari a special holiday. His knowledge of the animals we saw was outstanding, his driving was very good, both on road and off-road. He took time to teach us some Swahili, and we would try and greet him every morning with a new greeting in Swahili which we tried to learn in the evenings (thanks google translate). Willy managed to find lots of animals for us to photograph in their natural environment, from Duma (Cheetah) to Zebra.
We were extremely lucky to see all the big cats, elephant, giraffe, hippo, rhino, and many more, but be aware you may not get to see them all as they are in the wild and they may not be around on the days you are on safari, its nature!!
The accommodations we stayed at were also very good. All but one were inside the National Parks themselves, 'The Cliff' was fantastic with its views across Lake Nakuru, as was 'Entim Masai Mara camp' deep inside the Masai Mara on the Mara River. Ol Tukai Lodge in Amboseli was another great place to stay. Meals at all the accommodations were great, plenty to eat, you won't go hungry.
Estleon Adventures was great value for money, we were actually surprised at the cost when you consider the inclusions, which was the accommodation, all meals except lunch on the last day and drinks at most of the accommodation.
Estleon ensured Willy had plenty of drinking water for us in the land cruiser and we had a fresh bottle in the seat back for our game drives.
Thank you Esther and Willy for the memorable safari

Very professional, experienced and hearty operator, everything is well planed.
I think we are very lucky and grateful by choosing Discover Africa Safari for our first safari trip in Kenya, even in Africa.
The itinerary is very well balanced, scheduled and organized. We get to explore the different aspects and experienced different dimensions of Kenya, including local culture and rhino tracking of Rhino Saruni , breathtaking views and luxurious stay of Samburu Saruni, and of course the wild animals with very experienced guides. We often WOW and lots of things are beyond our expectation.
Susan, I can't thank you enough. It was definitely one of the most memorable travel we had. Thank you!

Laguna Voyage Safaris far exceeded our expectations!
This was our third trip to Kenya, the second trip with James from Laguna Voyage Safaris, and it never gets old! From the initial planning to the last goodbye, James displayed impeccable attention to detail and incredible communication. He will take your budget and wish list and turn it into a dream come true.
We have known James for 15 years now and can vouch for his integrity and reliability. He runs a local company that gives back to the Kenyan community. We are already dreaming of our next Safari and will only travel with Laguna Voyage Safaris!
