Trip of a lifetime!!
I couldn’t have imagined a more spectacular and memorable bucket list trip to Kenya and Tanzania, and Leadwood Holidays is all to thank. I am always the trip planner, making detail oriented plans to the hour, but relented the itinerary of this trip to the experts.
The focus of the trip was seeing as many animals and as much natural beauty as possible, and what we experienced vastly exceeded my expectations. Beautiful lush savannahs and grasslands, mountains, rivers, the Big 5 and herds of thousands of animals, was absolutely magical. We were also able to experience some of the city, beaches, and countryside as well. The guides were so experienced, knowledgeable and professional. The safari vehicles we rode in were spacious and comfortable and included amenities such a coolers and charging stations. The lodges and campsite were clean, modern, with staffs committed to the highest level of hospitality.
It is clear that the experts at Leadwood Holidays know this area inside and out. They listened to my wish list and made it all come true. And even more surprising is that over a 15 day holiday, we did not have one set back or problem. Despite spending a good amount of time traveling from one destination to the next, crossing borders, traveling by cars and planes, we did not have one delay or mishap.
Thank you to Leadwood for the trip of a lifetime!

What an amazing experience. Me and my company of 3 other friends had an amazing time
We got to the national Park ready to go to the Safari walk but Jim convinced us that the game drive would be a wonderful experience and we went for it.
I can't emphasize how amazing it was. From the minute we got into the park and the drive started it felt really great. Jim's car is way comfortable and we were able to all stand right through the sunroof throughout the drive.
We got lucky and were able to see lions,giraffe, hippo, Elland, zebra, hartebeest, crocodile and a lion on its hunt.The black and white rhino were my favorite.
Jim was amazing throughout giving us some history on the National Park and he would give us enough time at each stop to view the animals.
If you are thinking of doing a trip at the Nairobi national Park please don't think twice about using Jim.Super friendly and his car is really comfortable.

He's the best
The approach was very friendly, he explains everything into details by telling us more about the park, he tells different species of animals, he ensures that you atleast see all the animals
Animals we saw includes the Hippocampus, Lioness, ostrich,zebra,rhino, gazelle, and the crocodile

Welcoming, adaptable, wonderful!
Me and my boyfriend used meijo safaris for my 30th birthday. Mr Edmond was our driver and was extremely knowledgable. He could spot a cheetah in a second while we were driving past, he even heard a sound whilst we were watching an animal and knew it was lions chasing an animal and took us straight there.
We were very impressed with Mr Edmond’s versatility, we were supposed to do ngorongoro crater one morning on the way to the serengeti but it was cloudy so he advised to do a full day at serengeti and come back the next afternoon early when the weather was perfect.
We also added on a 1 day hike of kilimanjaro and the guides were great! We climbed it two hours quicker than expected so they took us to coffee and cave plantation to fill our time up before our flight.
We want to do the full climb of kilimanjaro and will definitely use meijo again! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Friendly, organized and very well informed.
We were booked on a double gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda and Uganda. Dickson, the tour operator was helpful every step of the way, including prior to us finalizing our booking. Norman, our private tour guide did an amazing job. We loved our tour and will certainly book again with Hooves of Africa. I highly recommend them. Both Dickson and Norman take customer service very seriously and pride themselves on giving their clients the best experience ever. They definitely made the trip a huge success. They are very reliable and well informed.

Very caring and informative
Anthony was such an amazing guide and driver who took great care of us! He was so informative about the culture and the animals and ensured we managed to see the big 5. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a tour to book with Baboon Safaris!

Great experience in Tsavo east & taita hills
We booked a 3 day tour going to Taita hills and Tsavo east. We chose this specific because we wanted to stay in the salt lick lodge for 1 night. This was a really good experience and we had the chance to spot a lot of elephants and other animals at the water pool. Our second night we spent in Tsavo east and also this was a very nice accomodations with a swimming pool and views on the national park. Rooms and food were great at both places.
The game drives itself were also really nice. We were able to spot lions, cheetahs, elephants, antilopes, gazelles, giraffes, zebra's, etc. Our guide Mike really tried his best to show us as many animals as possible. He also shared a lot of information with us about the animals, the parks and Kenya in general. It was a very good experience.
Be aware that Tsavo east is a very big park and there are a lot of areas that are not reachable by car so you need to be more lucky to be able to spot the animals from up close than in other places. But it's better for the animals this way and the nature and views in this park are really beautiful.
I would definitely recommend this trip.

Very flexibel and well organized, perfect safari with good value for your money!
We were with a big group of medical students (11) and did a 4 day masai mara only safari. The tour company was very flexible and fast with replies. We could personalize the tour exactly how we wanted it and even got a pick-up in Eldoret. The accommodation was clean with very friendly staff. The packed lunches were plentiful and nice and the African breakfast and dinner was great.
Our tour guides Robin and Denis were amazing! They helped us very much with our entrance in to the park and went above and beyond to show us as much as possible in 2 days. The cars were very luxurious and our trip went smoothly the entire time. Our biggest highlight was the leopard, which we couldn’t have seen without their knowledge and expertise.
Overall we had an amazing experience that felt like a luxury safari for a budget price! Asante sana Robin and Denis!
