Super nice 3 days trip from Nairobi to Amboseli
We (a couple) had an amazing three-day safari in Amboseli. Everything was super well-organized, from being picked up at our accommodation in Nairobi to being dropped off again after the trip. The staff was incredibly friendly, reliable and made everything easy.
We stayed at Kibo Safari Camp, which was really calm and relaxing after a long day in the park. The restaurant was great, with Indian, European, and Kenyan food, so something for everyone. After 9 hours of game drives, the pool was the perfect place to cool down. Also here the staff was super nice. It was luxurious. Just a quick tip—check your lunch-to-go box beforehand to make sure it has what you like, but they’re happy to make adjustments if you ask - or come back to eat lunch there because it’s nice and our experience was that in the morning and in the evening you see the most animals.
Our guide was fantastic: super experienced, flexible, and really great at spotting animals. Thanks to him, we saw so much wildlife: hundreds of elephants, two cheetah brothers hunting together, a female cheetah with her five cubs, hyenas, lions, hippos, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, monkeys.. tbc - and so many birds. Almost every moment was incredible.
We highly recommend Jockey Tours as a local tour company. It was worth every penny. They were professional and the guide knew the area very well. He also respected what we wanted from the trip. It felt very personal and not just like a standard tourist package.

Trip of a lifetime
Firstly a big thanks to Audence (Odin) aka "The King of Asgard" for making our first trip to Rwanda and Uganda as memorable as it could be.
We booked a 4 day trip which included 2 days safari in Akagera National Park, Rwanda. Gorillia trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda. And an overnight stay and lake tour on the Lake Bunyonyi.
Odin was a friendly, helpful and well informed guide/tracker who made our safari trips so much more entertaining. He really is one of the best! We were able to see a leopard thanks to him spotting it in the dark! He was also nice enough to teach us how to spot the difference between a rock and Rhino.
As well as being an amazing guide he also helped us with any extra travel or activities even after we parted ways which was really appreciated.
We would definitely recommend him as guide for anyone planning a trip in Rwanda and Uganda.
Lulu's was a great booking platform, they were very informative with their quotes and were happy to alter things if needed. The staff were very much on hand to answer any questions whenever I needed it, whether it be via email or WhatsApp.
The accommodation Lulu's provided on the trip was always high standard. The rooms were amazing and the food was also great.
Something i would suggest that Lulu's do would be to send out an email a week or 2 prior to the start of the trip. As it can be a bit daunting spending so much money on a trip and then not hear anything prior to the booking starting.
I would definitely recommend booking with Lulu's. The experience was amazing and that definitely wouldn't of been possible without Audence/Odin our amazing guide.
Thank you again for the trip of a life time.

Lifetime memories
An incredible experience, starting with the hospitality of the lodge and leading to the fascinating safari adventure, where we managed to see all the animals, including the Big Five. Victor, our guide, was perfectly professional and friendly, making the safari experience truly unforgettable. Stunning locations, perfect hospitality, and excellent food!

If you are looking for the best safari experience, go with Laxa. You will not regret!
Hello everyone. I want to share our review of the safari with this company.
I was looking for a suitable company until I found Laxa Trails Safaris. I wrote, we immediately agreed and at the same time I made an advance payment, and they respond very quickly.
This is our first experience in safari and in general a trip to Africa.
Before the trip, they were always in touch with us. Upon arrival, we were immediately met and settled in a hotel.
The next day we set off on safari and met our wonderful, and most importantly, highly experienced driver and guide Dennis and Peter.
The lodges with which they cooperate are very cool, clean and atmospheric, three meals a day, a wide selection of food and all this is very tasty, top service.
During the entire time, we visited the Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara national parks, and also went boating on Lake Naivasha.
We were very lucky with our drivers, thanks to their great experience, we saw all the big five, and we saw white and black rhinos, leopards three times a day and other animals: twice cheetahs with cubs. I think they are professionals in their field. On the last day we had a little time before the flight, so our drivers decided to show us Nairobi, took us to the supermarket, and then took us to the airport.
We were very pleased and will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.
If you are still in doubt and can’t choose a suitable company for yourself, then feel free to book this company. I recommend it!

Very professional and polite
We had amazing time at this Safari. We handled the booking with Winnie. She was really fast with answers and she was really polite.
Our guide was William and we loved him. He was very professional and lovely. William teached alot about Tanzanian nature and about the culture. William was very good at finding the animals. He always made sure that we were okay. He was always on time waiting for us.
We got to see everything what we wanted. We saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, lion and many more.
We also loved the walking safari. Our guide DeeDee was amazing person and he teached us alot about his culture and about the nature. People should know that the walking safari is more about the culture not about seeking for animals.
The food was great we didn't feel hungry at any point. We got some cold beers after the Safaris, they tasted great.
The hotel was nice and clean. The staff were very polite and nice.
We would recommend this to everybody, thank you very much.

Adventure of a Lifetime!
We just came back from a safari with Williamson Adventures and had an amazing time! William, who helped us with planning the Safari was incredibly responsive, quick to help us customize our trip and offered very competitive pricing. The tour guide we had, Tom, was also fantastic. Tom was very knowledgable about the animals and surrounding habitat. He also helped us to tailor our safari trip to best match our interests. At the end of each day we planned out the next day and he gave us various options!

they really care about their guests
We have been guided by Robert Matovu.
He is an excellent tour guide and we had a very good time with him. What I appreciate very much is, that he was always with us when we were sitting for lunch or dinner together. He was part of the group and we liked his humor and his cute german dialect. He was eager to provide as much as possible from the Ugandan wild life and also was the one to care for any logistic challenges.
I really would like to go on tour with him again.
All in all my trip through Uganda was the most exciting experience ever ... and - believe it - I have seen a lot in the recent 50 years!!

Anthony was perfect for what we had chosen to do. He was friendly and knowledgeable.
Although Anthony was a little bit late and we had a bit of a queue to get into the park our day was perfect. We asked to see Rhinos and there they were. Then a lion walked down the road. We took some fabulous photos and Anthony was very obliging in position of the sun for photography. The Sheldrick Trust experience was fabulous as was the giraffe centre. Thx Anthony

The tour operator provided an exceptional experience, with seamless organization
We had an unforgettable experience with Tanzania Good Friends Safaris! From start to finish, their communication was prompt, clear, and professional, ensuring we felt prepared and excited for our trip. The service exceeded our expectations—our safari guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes, as well as attentive and personable, making every moment of the safari enjoyable.
The tour itself was flawlessly organized, taking us to breathtaking locations where we encountered the Big Five and other amazing animals up close. After the thrilling safari experience, we relaxed in beautiful Zanzibar, where the arrangements for accommodations and activities were equally seamless. The beaches were stunning, and we had the perfect mix of adventure and tranquility.
In terms of value for money, this was truly exceptional; we felt every dollar was well spent for the level of care, expertise, and the sheer magic of the experience. Whether you're looking to explore Tanzania’s incredible wildlife or enjoy the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, we wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania Good Friends Safaris for their reliability, professionalism, and attention to detail!

Exceptional
Our travel planner, Natasha, listened to our needs made suggestions and was impressively available whenever we asked for her time. Each of the lodges were unique and the trip went very smoothly. So many memorable highlights. The museum in Rwanda, the gorilla trekking, the sunrise and singing wake-up in Virunga lodge, the hot air balloon ride. All the lodges were amazing and the service and food exceeded our expectations. I wish we had spent 2 days in Ngorongoro Crater but we had time restrictions. We so appreciated Natasha's keeping in touch throughout our trip.
