Amazing tour with great guide
Outstanding Safari Experience with Godson Drk
We had an unforgettable game drive experience with Godson Drk during our migration tour in the Serengeti. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystem added so much value to our journey. He expertly spotted hidden animals, shared fascinating insights, and ensured we had the best views for every moment.
Godson’s friendly and professional demeanor made us feel safe and comfortable throughout. A highlight was when he tracked a lion pride at sunrise, creating a magical memory we’ll always cherish.
We highly recommend Godson to anyone seeking a top-notch safari experience. Thank you for making our trip so special!

Mandela and the Big Five!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our four day safari to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangiri Parks. With the expert guide, Mandela, we saw the big five (Black Rhino, buffalo, elephant, lion, Leopard) , plus Cheetah, Hippos, Hyenas, Jackles, Foxes, and many more wonderful animals and birds.
We went with the mid-level package and had two nights of glammping and a wonderful lakeside resort all to ourselves (mid-November slow season). Each of the accommodation were well equipped. The Arusha based transit hotels were just that, basic clean rooms for a nights sleep as you arrived and departed.
The highlight of the trip was Mandela, with over 8 years of experience, he not only provide background and knowledge of the animals and birds, but also has a good rapport with other guides , which we benefited from when big five sights were made and information shared between friendly guides. For example on our last day we had seen all but the illusive leopard. Before lunch, Mandela was flagged down by another guide and told where he had just seen a leopard. We raced off to the site and were able to view the leopard.
Overall, great safari!

Kenya: A Magical Safari Destination
Our journey through Kenya was nothing short of spectacular, combining breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and warm hospitality. From the savannahs of the Masai Mara to the golden beaches of Diani, every moment was packed with wonder and discovery.
Lake Naivasha: Scenic Beauty and Adventure
We began our adventure at Lake Naivasha, staying at the peaceful Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge. Surrounded by the serene waters of the lake and acacia trees teeming with birds, it was a fantastic place to immerse ourselves in nature. Hiking Mt. Longonot was a thrilling (if not hard at the altitude) start, offering panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley.
Lake Elmenteita and Hell’s Gate: Wildlife and Unique Landscapes
Next, we visited Lake Elmenteita, where the luxury of Serena Camp added a touch of indulgence to our stay. We explored the rugged beauty of Hell’s Gate National Park on bicycles, weaving past dramatic cliffs, geothermal steam vents, and even zebras grazing nearby. This park is truly one of Kenya’s hidden gems, offering adventure and wildlife without the crowds.
Masai Mara: The Ultimate Safari
The Masai Mara National Reserve was the highlight of our trip. Staying at &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp, a luxurious retreat overlooking the Mara plains, felt like stepping into a dream. Each safari game drive was unforgettable—we saw lions lounging and eating in the Mara, elephants marching majestically across the plains, and cheetahs killing warthogs! The abundance of wildlife here is unparalleled.
The most magical moment was a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. Floating silently above the savannah, watching the golden light illuminate elephants, wildebeest and zebras, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A Train to the Coast and Beach Bliss
Our journey from Nairobi to Mombasa by train was another highlight. This scenic ride passes through three national parks, giving us glimpses of elephants and giraffes from the comfort of our seats. Once in Diani, we stayed at the Lantana Galu Beach, a perfect spot to relax after the safari excitement. The pristine beaches, swaying palms, and turquoise waters made it the ideal ending to our adventure.
Kenya offers an incredible mix of wildlife, adventure, and culture. The parks are well-maintained, the scenery is breathtaking, and we felt safe at every step. Whether hiking, cycling, or going on a safari, the country offers unique experiences for all kinds of travelers. The local people were warm and welcoming, always ready to share stories about their culture and traditions. This trip showed us why Kenya is a bucket-list destination—it has something for everyone. The warm weather was perfect for outdoor activities, and we felt completely safe throughout the experience.
Crimson Brook Safaris made our mega holiday seamless and stress-free. From their attention to detail and knowledgeable guides to their flexibility and friendly service, they exceeded our expectations at every turn. Whether it was arranging logistics, offering local expertise, or making sure we had the best experiences, they truly went above and beyond.
This trip was everything we dreamed of and more—thank you, Crimson Brook Safaris, for making it all possible!

care and detail
We had a wonderful experience with this agency and with the driver Zefa, who spoke Italian very well, knew the places and the animals.
the agency also takes great care of its customers, with small daily attentions, great care in cleaning both the jeep and the tents on the campsite.
The chef's cuisine is also excellent, as he follows you step by step throughout the Safaris.
If you are Italian, ask for Zefa to be your guide!
Super recommended tour.. it will be a once in a lifetime experience!

No good management
There is two things to distinguish: the safari experience in the national parks (i.e. what you see there) and the how the safaris are carried out.
I could say this is rip off, but I don't say this. We had very bad experience, especially with the owner George. When we had unbelievably bad accomodations booked by him and wanted to complain, he refused to talk to us and told his driver to stop communication with us immediately. He told him, that we could come back to Arusha and end the tour right away on our own cost! The accommodations were so bad, that we had to look for alternatives.
Even though, the driver was excellent, the car war beyond bad. Several accidents were poorly fixed, welded everywhere. The tyres were all worn out totally, almost slick! The two spare tyres were flat and unusable, the so called tools for changing tyres were unusable as well. George left the driver all alone without helping.
Over all, this manager is acting against his clients and is not willing to cooperate. So if you want to get bad value for good money, here you are right. For us: not at all worth the money spent.

Excellent from start to finish, would book again without hesitation
Excellent tour operator that organized our 4 day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari. Very friendly, quick and efficient communication with Chris (manager) and John (guide & driver). We were able to tailor the itinerary, accommodations and car to our likings. John did an excellent job with the driving (incl stops whenever and wherever we needed), game drives and showing us around. I would book again without hesitation.
