Hands down 10/10 experience. The best tour guide for safari
From start to finish, this safari tour company exceeded our expectations in every way. The planning process was seamless, and they were always available to answer our questions and make adjustments as needed. When a minor miscommunication arose, their 24/7 support team resolved it immediately with professionalism and care.
Our guide, Jonathan, was an absolute highlight of the trip. A native Masai, he brought an unparalleled depth of knowledge and passion to our journey. He took us to secret spots that other tours completely missed, making our experience unique and unforgettable. Jonathan’s punctuality, dedication to our safety, and commitment to ensuring we had an incredible time were truly remarkable. By the end of the trip, he felt more like a friend than a guide.
Words cannot fully express how grateful my husband and I are to this company for making our honeymoon an exceptional and memorable adventure. Every moment was carefully curated, and their attention to detail made all the difference.
If you're planning a visit to the Masai Mara, do yourself a favor and choose this company. You will not regret it! A big Asante sana to Beverlyn and Jonathan for making this experience so magical. We would come back in a heartbeat just to tour with them again. Cheers!!!

Perfect Safari for Nature Lovers..
The 4-day Masai Mara safari exceeded our expectations. The park is breathtaking, and the wildlife sightings were abundant, including a family of elephants and a pride of lions. The optional hot air balloon ride was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, offering stunning views at sunrise. Our guide, Daniel, was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the journey. The lodge accommodations and meals were excellent, making this a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

Outstanding experience with Goldfinch Adventures
Our experience with Goldfinch Adventures was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the communication with Deo was excellent. He promptly answered all our questions and went out of his way to accommodate us, even making an unexpected trip to the pharmacy on Christmas Day to help me get medication. As a thoughtful gesture, Deo also gifted us some delicious local coffee after hearing how much we enjoyed it—a small but meaningful touch that truly made us feel valued.
The safari itself was guided by Isaac, who was an absolute gentleman. His knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the trip, and he made sure we were comfortable and well-cared for at all times. Isaac went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience, including successfully helping us tick off the Big Five! Beyond his professionalism, we genuinely enjoyed his company, which added a personal touch to our adventure.
The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The accommodation exceeded our expectations in every way, and the safari jeep was both comfortable and perfectly suited for the journey.
We highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures to anyone seeking a memorable safari experience. The team’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for their guests made this a trip we’ll cherish forever!

Savannah Woods Safaris is dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for its customers through
I have journeyed around the world and seen different countries for their wildlife and nature. I can say, with confidence, that Savannah Woods Safaris was the best among nature and wildlife tour providers I have ever encountered. It took them just an afternoon to come back to me with several tour plans, allowing me to choose one that suited my interests and budget. The itinerary included three game drives in two national parks and one diving excursion in a marine national park. They guided me every step of the way, ensuring that everything ran smoothly, and it was only when I settled into my seat on the plane to leave Kenya that they felt a sense of relief. I recommend them to anyone wishing to see the beautiful country of Kenya. Depending on your budget and time, I am sure they will plan the best journey for you and provide excellent service throughout.

Excellent choice for tour in Tanzania
Great experience with my family in Tanzania. Whole trip is very pleasant, friendly tour guide, Suleiman, a young man from Maasai but well educated, good humour making my boy happy, quick to follow game and exchange info with other guides. We were educated along the way, with all The good stories and why one animal behaves this way or the other. Great hotel at the land of nature, feeling and hearing lions at the door way but feeling safe. Great choice of lodges, with safety and close to the nature. We saw all Big 5 and enjoyed all those animal stories. My wife was happy and my boy said excellent.

Great Guide & great Safari
Everything went really smoothly. Communication was easy and fast. The Safari was customized to our wishes.
We had a private Jeep for the 4 of us and great value for money. Our Guide Caleb was awesome. He knows the parks and animals so well and told us all about it. We had a really great time and saw everything we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend going with them.

The Mara changes you forever
We decided for a December trip and contacted ways of Africa somewhere in early November. Right from the start, Paul’s professionalism stood apart from the several companies we had contacted. He was prompt, straightforward and clear about what our budget, requirements and length of stay was and was able to help create the best itinerary tailored to our needs. I really appreciated him not fluffing up details and he was direct and polite with his communications via WhatsApp
We had both a late arrival and departure to and from Nairobi airport and he arranged pick up and drop off. He arranged the most amazing accommodation for us at Mara bush camp which was by far one of the best places I have stayed at and I will hold memories from there very close to my heart.
No review on ways of Africa is complete without mentioning the phenomenal experience we had gaming with our driver/ guide Dennis. Dennis is funny , friendly and we had a great time with him at Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. He is extremely skilled at what he does and despite rains and muddy roads, he was able to navigate paths and drive us very close to wildlife viewing. He is great at communicating with other guides and anticipating the course/ trajectory of the animals and we were oftentimes amongst the first few to be right next to the lions, cheetah, elephants and giraffes. Within 4 days of gaming, we were able to see all of the big 5 as well as a multitude of several other wildlife! We were even able to see an attempted hunt between a pride of lions and a warthog. He is a proud Masai and truly passionate about the animals and we learnt a ton not only about the birds and animals, but also about the Masai tribe and Kenya in general. He is also a talented photographer and helped us capture beautiful images of the wildlife.
Overall, this trip will remain etched in our memories forever all thanks to Ways of Africa and Dennis and if and when we do come back again, I have no hesitation to avail there services again

From trekking in Bwindi to watching lions and leopards in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the safari was packed with excitement. The lodges offered breathtaking views, and the staff’s hospitality made us feel at home. This trip showcased Uganda’s incredible biodiversity and reaffirmed our love for African safaris.

The organization was perfect, everything went smoothly
My safari through Samburu National Park, Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara was an unforgettable experience! The variety of landscapes and animals overwhelmed me. In Samburu I saw Grevy's zebras and gerenuks for the first time. The elephant herds were impressively large. In Nakuru we saw a leopard and rhinos - a breathtaking sight. And in the Masai Mara I was lucky enough to see a family of lions. The tour guide Kaleb was very knowledgeable and told us many interesting details about the animals and the region. The accommodations were comfortable and the food delicious. Overall, I can highly recommend the safari! Our guide Kaleb in particular was excellent and made all the difference.
