Maereg is Informative, Invested, Integral in ensuring Ethiopia is celebrated and known!
I appreciated the professionalism Extraordinary Ethiopia Tours provided for my first trip to Africa. Partnered with African Journeys, here in Brooklyn, NY, we were able to take part in an unforgettable experience/opportunity. Who can say they visited Queen Sheba's palace or saw the throne of admirable Haile Selassie or were moved by the spirit of laborers who created the Rock-Hewn Churches. This tour was educational and spiritual.

It was a pleasant journey.
Johny Jackson is a very professional guide. He showed us many animals and was on time every day. It was a really pleasant trip. If you want to have a good experience of watching animals, I recommend him.

Efficient, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable.
The tour went exactly as planned. The visit to Samburu was an amazing experience. The trip was tailored exactly to my tastes and despite doing a huge amount, I finished feeling rested and refreshed.

Tarangire National Park Experience
The kids and I had an amazing experience especially having spotted the big fives. I highly recommend Manka Safaris for an amazing tour experience.

Amazing
All camp stays were great. Food was excellent, always a great hot buffet or big packed lunch. Highlight of the trip was a hat trick of leopards on the first full day in Masai Mara.

Can't recommend it enough
We did the 6 day safari at Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our guide Johny Jackson was excellent, he knew all the parks very well and helped us see all the animals we wanted to. All of the big 5 multiple times, and cheetahs, giraffes, crocodiles and more.
We were a bit nervous about coming during the rainy season, but the weather held out and it was usually dry. We'd read that there are fewer animals during this season, but it was not the case for us thankfully.
The food and facilities throughout the trip were great, not always 5 star luxury, but great value and the hosts were exceptionally welcoming.
The only drawback of the trip is the amount of time spent driving between parks, but Johny is a great driver and there were plenty of spots for the bathroom and food along the way. Also, this is of course unavoidable if you want to see all the different regions that we did, and I'd say it was definitely worth it since each park was unique and worth seeing.

Excellent
I recently went on a six-day safari in Kenya, visiting the Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Amboseli National Park.
We spent about 3.5 days on game drives, which was excellent. Our guide (Johny Jackson) was fantastic—friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, which allowed us to get great views of the wildlife, including the Big Five. The highlight was getting a close-up view of a leopard and her cub in the Masai Mara.
Our accommodation, consisted of two camps and one hotel, all of which were clean and comfortable. The hosts were all very friendly and showed great hospitality. The food was also very good throughout.
Overall, the trip was well-organised, full of incredible sights, and excellent value for money. My friends and I had an amazing time, and I’d highly recommend it.

Very nice experience!
We had a great 5 day safari. We had booked a private tour and were therefore able to enjoy it very much. The driver picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and accompanied us for the whole 5 days. The driver was nice, but he wasn't very talkative, but we didn't mind that much. The hotels in the various national parks were very nice, there was always good food and the rooms were excellent. We saw all the Big Five. We would definitely recommend this company for a great safari experience!

Amazing, breathtaking experience
We have our safari trip tailored to our needs in every detail. Our guide, Michael, was great. He had a good vibe and was being very professional and attentive. We wanted to see lions and he did absolutely everything to find some more for us!
We were able to make amendments to the original package, so it suited our needs. The operator takes care of you at all times, starting with greeting you at the airport and ending with welcoming you there after landing. Everything felt very well organized.
