Bon adventure! You can feel both risks and surprises here!
As most of reviewers' feedback, Robert replied slowly after the deposit. We felt risky and anxious while waiting for his response. But when we arrived at Nairobi, he assigned Ken to meet us in time and all the activities are arranged well.
Ken is really a good guide and driver, he is the big surprise for our safari experience. He knows everything. He can tell all the animals, birds and plants.
If you have a big heart, Beacon is one of choices; if you're interest in animals knowledge, and a well-arranged safari, Ken is the best choice.

Highly responsible and promptly responsive tour operator, featuring engaging guides
Our group of four ladies embarked on a 7-day, 8-night safari in the Serengeti. Among several travel agencies, we opted for this locally-led company and were overall delighted with our experience. The company's liaison personnel were remarkably patient, promptly addressing our queries and actively resolving any unforeseen circumstances during the journey. The drivers and guides arranged for us were tremendously engaging and, being locals, possessed profound insights into animal behaviors.
The most unforgettable part of the trip was the visit to a tribal community and the opportunity to go hunting alongside a local hunter. The arrangements at the tented camp in the vast Serengeti Plains were truly remarkable—pristine, authentic, and comfortable. For our next visit, we plan to extend our vacation, allowing us to spend an additional days in the northern reaches of the Serengeti, anticipating the remarkable sights of lions on the hunt and wildebeests crossing the river. We are already looking forward to returning for another visit.

I am absolutely delighted and feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen Williamson Adventure as our safari travel agency. William, the driving force behind this incredible experience, proved to be nothing short of professional and enthusiastic, offering invaluable assistance throughout our journey. Prior to departure, William patiently addressed all our queries and provided meticulous advice on the finer details, setting a wonderful precedent for our adventure.
During the safari, we were accompanied by David Alex from William's team, who was nothing less than superlative in his dedication and warmth. David's driving skills were exemplary, and his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, allowed him to spot an array of wildlife on the vast savannah almost instantaneously. From snakes and tortoises by the roadside to rhinos that he located within a minute using a telescope from a hilltop viewpoint – nothing escaped his vigilant gaze.
Our subsequent trip to Zanzibar saw us being chauffeured by Nurdin, another gem from William's team. Nurdin provided unwavering support around the clock and meticulously arranged various activities for us on the island, enhancing our experience immeasurably.
Moreover, a heartfelt thank you must go to William for going above and beyond to assist when my friend accidentally left their camera at the hotel during the safari. William spared no effort, explored numerous avenues, and reached out to many individuals to ensure the camera was returned to us at our next destination.
In conclusion, Williamson Adventure, led by the exceptional William and supported by the highly capable David Alex and Nurdin, has etched an unforgettable mark on our travel memories. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure!

Compass Odyssey provided a wonderful service, with easy communication and great, knowledge guides.
Having been recommended Compass Odyssey from other New Zealanders, I found communication easy and prompt. There were changes early in trip planning, including dates, and Darren took it all in his stride. Compass came up with recommendations that I could choose which option suited me best, displaying very knowledgeable details on the areas I wanted to experience. There was no detail that was left to chance, which I found re-assuring before even stepping onto Africia. The background information provided, with regards to visas/ the safari lodges / roads etc. was absolutely spot on. knowledgeable
The local guide in South Africia - Gillian was warm, great sense of humour and listened to our ideas on what we wanted to do.
Chobe National Park exceeded any expectations that I had, and the river safaris were fantastic. Our guide, Tefo really did his absolute best to give myself and my friend the best experience he could. I never thought I would get so close to big predators and elephants! The amount of wildlife, in part, due to the drought, was mind-blowing.
The guide used for two weeks in Namibia, Elvis was top notch, and I would also highly recommend. Elvis was thoughtful throughout - basically living with myself and my friend - every breakfast, lunch and dinner for the two weeks! Elvis knew his facts on the local flora/fauna and though had to repeat himself at times, because I couldn't tell the difference between antelope, was very patient with me! When requested to come up with options in local areas to view local people, Elvis knew exactly where to go.
Thank you, Compass Odyssey, for providing an efficient, safe, well-planned trip that I will never forget. Africia is an amazing destination that I would love to experience again, and I would, without hesitation use your company.

Highly recommend Suricata Safari!
A simply great experience! Extremely well organised, the guide was very kind and knowledgeable, the food very good and accommodations (we booked tented lodge) great! We had the chance to watch a big variety and number of animals from very close in different sceneries and different daytimes. Also great that airport transportation and two nights in a hotel in Arusha are included. Highly recommended!

Excellent service at a reasonable price
I have used the services of African Beast Tours and Safaris for the second time and once again I was delighted.
To be honest - finding a tour company in Nairobi that offers one or two-day safaris at a reasonable price is quite a challenge. This time we used African Beast for a trip to Crescent Island and Lake Nakuru. We quickly agreed on the trip, including customizing the scenario, and most importantly, the deal paid off. If the agency told us that everything was included, it really was, including entrances and meals along the way.
Our driver and guide in one person was lovely and was able to find rhinos well in Nakuru NP. Thanks to the perfect organization we didn't have to wait anywhere.
I keep my fingers crossed that African Beast can keep up this high level of service and low prices and can only recommend it! Especially if you are looking for a reasonably price trip from Nairobi!

Efficient and very helpful
Family of four travelling.
The booking process was handled via whatsapp from our home in the UK, it was all very easy. The tour company even helped us book our train tickets for our travel after the safari between Nairobi and Mombasa.
The Safari itself was absolutely fantastic, our driver and guide Joseph knew all the best spots to see the different animals, we saw the big 5, and lots more.
We would recommend the Jambo Mara Lodge for your stay in Masai Mara. Food, service and lodges were very nice. Our kids loved the swimming pool, table tennis and pool table.
We were also taken to a masai village which was another great experience.
The hotel at Lake Nakura was a bit built up and lost the 'safari feel' to it, but was clean and comfortable enough.
Overall we cannot fault the Dosasha Tours and safari, from meeting them in Nairobi to following up with us at the end, they were helpful and ensured we had a great experience. Will be recommending to friends and family.

Professional, friendly, very helpful and enthusiastic
Awesome experience with a great guide Stanley. An experience like this will cost you a lot of money but Sereland will give you an incredible experience. They are a young growing company that we were very happy to support.
