Review about Samburu National Reserve by Tom Vohya
We went to Samburu for an early morning game drive with a guide. We drove for quite a while without seeing much, but then saw a lion just as we were leaving the park.
Review about Buffalo Springs National Reserve by Tom Vohya
You only pay one park entry fee for Buffalo Springs, Shaba and Samburu National Reserves, although they are separate parks. It's $70 for non-residents, Ksh1,200 for residents and Ksh500 for citizens
We drove around for 2 hours in the afternoon and saw 3 lions (1 about 10m away from us!) and a cheetah, as well as many giraffes
Review about Amboseli National Park by Tom Vohya
Amboseli is the place to go if you want to see elephants. We saw so many elephants and up very close. It was unbelievable. There were many baby elephants too, which were really cute. It was fun watching them playing in the mud and washing themselves. The road to Amboseli is fantastic - new tarmac road the whole way and completely free of traffic.
Review about Aberdare National Park by Tom Vohya
We drove through the Aberdare National Park from Naivasha en-route to Shaba. It is stunningly beautiful! Incredible views and lush vegetation. There are several waterfalls to see. We stopped at Karuru Waterfall. You can walk about 15mins down a path to get to the viewing point. It is breathtaking - water plummeting down from 700ft!
The best place to see rhinos in Kenya
It took us about 15mins to get to Solio Ranch from our accomodation at Sandai Farm. The park entry fee is expensive - $80 per person for non-residents, Ksh2,000 for residents and Ksh1,000 for citizens - but well worth it! Rhinos are almost extinct, but there are more than enough of them in Solio. We decided to self-drive in our 4x4 without taking a guide (but we bought a map for Ksh1,000), which worked well. There are clear paths to follow and the map is quite detailed. We were able to drive up really close to herds of rhinos, buffaloes, zebras, oryx and gazelle. We also saw several families of warthogs trotting around and a jackal.

Excellent trip
My girlfriend and I booked a gorilla trekking and Queen Elizabeth Park game trip with Cycads. Everything was handled flawlessly. Our knowledgable and friendly guide Ashadu was a very safe driver and always on time. We booked the deluxe accommodations - which only cost a little more than the budget places - and were rewarded with the most spectacular views either one of us have ever seen from a hotel we were staying at. Halfway through the trip we decided to add chimp trekking in Kyambura Gorge in QENP (highly recommended) and this change in the itinerary, which added an extra day, was handled without issue. Overall great company, definitely check them out.

Great team and efficient service
After countless efforts to find accommodation in Victoria Falls, Falcon Safari came to our rescue and helped book us suitable accommodation in no time. The elephant ride safari and their cruise is not to be missed for anything. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any traveler.

One of the best Safaris in my life!
For me it was the 4th time I did a tented Safari withs Bushtravellers. Each time it was a great adventure. We saw almost all animals you can see in the Okavango delta, at Savuti, at the Chobe river or in the Nxai pan.
This kind of Safari is the best way to explore nature. You don't have other people with you at the camping places and you can hear at night all the noises of the bush. In one word:
BRILLIANT!!!!!
(and by the way: it is the cheapest way to do a safari in Botswana!)

Outstanding experience!!!
I travelled to Tanzania with my family in March 2008 for a wildlife safari experience. Journey Beyond helped us with our travel arrangements. I found them on the internet and wrote to them about our desired itinerary. They answered promptly, understood our requirements and also made suggestions where they felt we could have a better experience.
It was a pleasure interacting with skilled professionals who advised us at every step, and took into account all our reservations and questions regarding hotels, travel and activities. They made us aware of the wonderful experience we could look forward to, and went ahead and delivered it. In all we visited four different parks and saw a large variety of wildlife and vegetation, while also imbibing the local culture. It has been the most memorable holiday for me and my family, and I still remember every detail of the trip.
I am grateful to Ms. Tanya Robinson from Journey Beyond, for all her efforts in putting together this wonderful program. She was prompt and straightforward throughout and left us with no ambiguity about any part of the trip or experience. We also received a 'welcome home' email at the end of our visit. I am very impressed with the entire team who made this possible, and would recommend them to all for their African holiday experience.
