Value for money experience.
We had booked 7 days and 6 Night Masai Mara - Naivasha - Nakuru - Amboseli Safari. It was a standard package offered by Safari operators in Kenya in budget category. Communication with Benson was smooth, camps were basic and you get what you paid for. In our case, plan was changed a little bit, we were first taken to Naivasha and then to Masai Mara to suit economics of operator (since there were not enough people on first day for Masai Mara), this is something shouldn't have happened as we wanted to spend 31st evening watching sunset in lake Naivasha.
Camp/Stays Ratings:
Naivasha - 3/5 (Food was average for vegetarians)
Nakuru - 3.5/5 (Basic City Hotel with good food but no good wifi)
Masai Mara - 3.5/5 (Basic Facilities, good food)
Amboseli - 4/5 (Excellent and Spacious Camp).
We were 6 to 7 People in Mini Van ( Should have been strictly 6) and people would join and leave as per their itinerary. We were with guide Clinton and he did a good job.
I would recommend this agency, as our experience was good.

The best in the business!
We went on a 5 day safari with African Big Cat Safaris touring Tarangire national park, Ngorogoro crater and the Serengeti. It was the best experience ever with our guide Khaled!
African big cats was very responsive and Emmanuel made it so easy to organise the safari. They sent us a detailed itinerary and all the accommodation with pre departure information which was so helpful.
The 5 days were amazing - we saw the big 5 animals, learnt about Tanzanian culture and history and saw the wildlife in its natural habitat which is an incredible experience. We saw lions with their cubs, elephants walking around the vehicle and a cheetah eating its prey.
Our guide Khaled was the best!! He was so knowledgeable on the wildlife and their movements, and was able to get us to prime position to see all the animals. He is high experienced and we always felt safe in the drives. Highly recommend requesting him as your driver!
If you’re looking to do a safari, African Big Cats is the company to do it with!!

Easy booking, flexibility of options, guide 5 stars and excellent choice of camps.
Perfect solution for a 5 day safari! Unforgettable Kenyan safari! Witnessed incredible wildlife: lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, leopards all the lion king characters :), and experienced authentic Maasai culture. Breathtaking scenery and knowledgeable and authentic guide. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
Worth mention that the biking process was the easiest and the suggestions from Crimson Brooke staff really matched our preferences!
And yes… bingo! we saw the big 5! Thanks to our Guide John!

Amazing Safari, Great Guide, Trustworthy & Reliable Tour Operator
Our safari was excellent from start to finish. Communication was great—they answered all our questions and were always available for any concerns.
We booked the seven-day tour, covering Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Hell’s Gate.
Highlights of the tour were seeing elephants grazing in front of Mount Kilimanjaro, spotting the Big Five, and biking through Hell’s Gate National Park. Our guide, Brian, truly made the trip unforgettable. He is very knowledgeable, especially about the Masai Mara, and could spot animals instantly. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible, always patient and happy, prioritizing our safety and comfort.
A huge thank you to Brian and the entire team. You made this an unforgettable experience. Ask for Brian as your guide, you won’t regret it!

Excellent. They kept their promise!
Crimson Brooke Safari made our dream trip happen and that too wonderfully. Every day spent at the Safari was magical. Amos and Betty kept their promise of delivering an ace service and added a beautiful personal touch to it as well. They made sure to see us off when our Safari commenced and took the time to have lunch with us on our departure day. Our Tour Guide, Reuben was equally amazing. He made sure to fill us in with interesting facts and exciting stories. He went above and beyond to spot all the animals/birds for us. I would whole-heartedly recommend this amazing agency to anyone planning a Safari Trip.

Happy and insightful.
We had the most unforgettable safari adventure, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Johnson. He was super friendly, always smiling, and his positive energy made the entire trip even more enjoyable.
Johnson wasn’t just a great guide; he was an expert at spotting wildlife! Thanks to him, we saw all the animals we had hoped for – lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and so much more. He shared his deep knowledge about the wildlife and nature, making the experience both exciting and educational.
The accommodations were stunning, offering the perfect mix of comfort and connection to nature. Everything was well-organized, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the trip.
If you’re looking for a safari experience with exceptional service and a guide who truly loves what he does, we highly recommend booking with them – and asking for Johnson if you can!
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Caren, the face of Nashibe, was attentive, thorough and prompt, leading to a superb experience
It was a trip of a lifetime for my 16 year old granddaughter and myself. The week long safari which took us to 4 different destinations and involved a lot of driving, was worth every pothole en route and Kenyan shilling. Once I finished launching my endless planning questions at Caren, which she patiently answered, the details, including wonderful accommodation (I researched and she booked) and daily program was executed beautifully. As well, despite delay and being incommunicado while flying there, Caren went out of her way to fetch us from the airport as promised. There were plenty of game drives which we never tired of, an eye opening visit to a genuine Masai village (I had feared an artificial touristy set up) and even short but needed free time in between. So planning as far as time management, was well done. I had tried to arrange for a group trip but at the last minute the others, whoever they were, cancelled and in the end we concluded a private trip was advantageous.
Our driver, Charles, was a careful driver and even managed to fix the vehicle when it broke down in the middle of nowhere. We very much appreciated both these skills. I would not however, describe him as a guide in terms of depth of knowledge and ability or willingness to communicate same.
I would have no trouble in recommending Nashibe, but emphasize the importance of planning in advance, and then sitting back and just enjoying when you set out.

Trip of a Lifetime!
We did a 10-day safari in Uganda with Kajie Safaris, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Our guides, Simon & Simon (we had two cars for 9 people) made every aspect of the trip amazing. Seeing the mountain gorillas had long been a bucket-list item, and did not disappoint- but we were also blown away by every other part of the trip as well! Chimpanzee tracking, game drives, seeing the big 5 - everything was beyond our expectations. The lodges were lovely. Our group was mostly vegan/vegetarian and Kajie made sure we had good food options everywhere we went. Ronald answered all our questions before the trip and helped us get together everything we needed to arrive, and once there Simon & Simon made the trip seamless. I can't imagine having done this trip with another group and would whole-heartedly recommend Kajie Safaris!

Price comparison for what we wanted, was the best and service terrific
After going with a different company for what turned out to be a terrific week long safari, I comparison shopped for this one day Nairobi three stop tour, and Cruzeiro won out. Our excellent and knowledgeable driver picked us up from our hotel promptly, took us as planned to the Sheldrick Wildlife Sanctuary, Kazuri Beads and Giraffe Sanctuary, all pretty close to one another near Nairobi, never rushing us but also offering additional in-depth information at the Giraffe sanctuary, All in all, I'd definitely recommend them as would my 16 year old granddaughter who was with me.
