Well organized safari tour on which we managed to see all major wildlife animals
Me and my wife selected KWSS for our 8 days safari in Kenya. Responses from Mr. Otieno were very prompt even on weekends, safari program was adjusted to our individual needs with really competitive price. Safari tour was well organized, our guide Marcus is very knowledgeable in wildlife and birds, thanks to him we saw all animals that we originally expected.
Selected budget accommodations were reasonably equipped with private facilities and clean, no complains. Food prepared by our chef Moses was tasty and with reasonable choice, enjoyed that. However, selected restaurant where we had a few lunches on the way from one national park to another (I think in town called Mai Mahiu) could improve food quality and choice.

Wonderful safari, including trekking gorgeous gorillas and chimps, with most amazing guide Eric.
Have never used Speke before, but definitely would holiday with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone else. We have travelled extensively in Africa, India and South &. Central America to see wildlife. This trip was up there with the very best especially as we had world-class guide Eric to ensure our experience. As vegans, Eric ensured that all our food was appropriate - and very tasty. Would highly recommend the accommodation - Buhoma Lodge at Bwindi, Kyaninga Lodge for the chimp trekking and Bakers Lodge at Murchison Falls. It is worth mentioning that Bakers Lodge is on the far side of the Nile to the Murchison Falls NP, so you are dependent on ferry crossings to get into the park which means you cannot stay in the park early evening.
A HUGE thank you to Eric of Speke, in particular, for making our holiday so special.

Very fantastic and great.
Okay my experience in dealing with Jadi Africa safari from the first to the last day was an amazing one.The team was just super fantastic at making sure my 7day tour was a great one.My tour guide Martin was extremely knowledgeable and enabled me to have wildlife experience beyond my dreams. I loved the wilderness camp as it made me feel closer to nature.Thank you so much for such amazing memories in only one week safari.And in that case I'll always recommend anyone who wants to book a safari to your company.

Great experience with good price
We had a great experience with Axis Africa Safaris from the day one when I contacted them from the other side of the world. Communication was fast and clear and once we arrived everything worked out as great as planned. There was no hassle with anything, car picked us up straight from the airport and took us to a 3-day group joining safari to Masai Mara and after the adventure they dropped us off at the doorstep of our hotel. And no money was needed in advance, we paid when we met up. Our driver Antony wasn't much of a talker but he sure knew how to drive! He seemed to give more than 100% so we could see as much different animals as possible. We were even lucky enough to see a leopard there! Which doesn't happen every day as I understood. Great experience, great people, great service, and all that with a very reasonable price! I recommend!

The best experience.

Best safari of my life
My family and I have travelled with african Adventure Specialists two times now. From the commutation on email while arranging the trip, the Airport pick up, hotel accommodation to the execution of the safari the travel advisor was awesome. Andrew met us up at the airport and while on safari he kept constant touch with the guide and made sure that we were comfortable everyday. Our guide made sure that we saw as much as we wanted to see on our african safari. We are traveling for another time this August in Kenya and Tanzania and definetely african Adventure Specialists is no doubt our travel planner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them 100% to any traveller intending to visit africa. Get in touch with Andrew

Worst Tour Operator ever. Not what I paid for!
I paid US680 dollars for a three day safari with Seven By far Travel. The Company offered a 3 day safari that included a stay in a wonderfull lodge called AAlodges, which is categorised as a 5-stars facility in booking.com. To my surprise when I got there, the lodge was far from what was promised, they not only changed it without previous notification, but they took us to a lodge that was way below the level of what I paid for. The place is not even listed in booking.com. What really bothered me, is that they took me for stupid and had the nerve to say that it was an upgrade. When this happened, I decided to leave and ask for a refund before the Safari even started. After sending recurrent emails for a month and receiveng several excuses from the operator, I finally got a refund but for half of what I paid for. I would never recommend this Company.

Excellent attention to my needs!
I am in a wheelchair, and Vuriva, and especially our safari guide, James, went over and above to help make this trip an amazing experience for me. Everyone was so kind, hospitable, and ready to help me with whatever I found that I needed. I highly recommend this company!

Safari experience at the highest professional level
I am a travel agent, and I came with a small group.
Already from the initial engagement with Paul and Ole, I knew that I had come to the right place and persons.
The planning of the trip was accompanied by professionalism, reliability, availability, high service awareness, and reasonable prices in relation to the return.
The entire trip was designed for the smallest details, just as important as the big ones.
From the moment that we landed in Kilimanjaro Airport , in the reception hall, getting to know the people behind the emails and the WhatsApp conversations, I knew I'd "landed Into the right hands".
Now, let's go to James the wonderful guide.
Wow, wow, wow.... how knowledgeable.
So much knowledge, with all the willingness to share with others.
We were enthralled and thirsty for all the information he had given us. And when it comes with a smile, passion and dedication to your occupation - there is no falls, just a perfect profit for the traveler.
Thank you all for a great experience, and I'm already planning the next group.

Much more than expected, don't miss!
We are 2 couples from Germany, and we traveled across Kenya self organized and also drove our car by our self. But for the National Parks we asked for local drivers and guides because they know where to go, and they have also a lot of information. We have done this in three Parks and in Masai Mara we had the good luck and pleasure that Mpairo Ole Kiyapi (we called him John) was our guide.
We arrived in the camp early afternoon and John was waiting for us. As we started the Game Drive in the afternoon John promised that this would be the appetizer for the next day. After a few hours and lots of Elephants, Lions, Buffaloes, Cheetahs and thousands other animals we could not believe that this would be the appetizer. But John kept word.
As mentioned we have made some experience also in other parks but there is nothing really to compare. John has a great knowledge where to go and guided us much closer to the BIG 5 than expected. He is also a nice boy with a charming humor (ask him about the story of discounts when a man has to pay the cows for marry his wife).
Also a wonderful experience was to visit his village which is located close to the Ololaimutiek Gate. We get a very warm welcome and traditional songs and dances and nothing looks like "Tourist Style".
If you are searching for a Guide or a tour: clear recommendation!
