Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters at Treetops Hotel with Belair Adventures and Safaris
During my recent trip with Belair Adventures and Safaris to the iconic Treetops Hotel in Aberdare National Park, I was captivated by the breathtaking wildlife encounters that awaited me. The lodge, perched high among the trees, offers a unique vantage point overlooking a bustling waterhole, making it an ideal spot for observing animals in their natural habitat.
As I settled into the lodge, I eagerly anticipated the wildlife activity at the waterhole. Throughout my stay, I was fortunate to witness a variety of magnificent animals, including majestic elephants gracefully approaching to drink, powerful buffaloes roaming nearby, and even a few elusive rhinos making their appearance. The sight of these incredible creatures in such close proximity was truly exhilarating.
Adding to the charm of the experience were the playful warthogs, often seen scurrying around the area. Their antics provided endless entertainment as they interacted with one another and explored their surroundings. The...

Belair Adventures and Safaris ensured that every moment of this trip was unforgettable, from the luxurious accommodations at Treetops Hotel to the thrilling wildlife encounters. This journey not only deepened my appreciation for Africa's rich biodiversity but also highlighted the exceptional service and expertise that Belair Adventures offers for travelers seeking remarkable safari experiences.

Amazing trip
I spent 10 days traveling with Nofy Travel at the beginning of January, and everything went perfectly. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm welcome from the teams, who made my stay even more enjoyable. The choice of hotel was exceptional, offering both comfort and a friendly atmosphere. Every morning, I woke up to a beautiful view, and the services provided met my expectations.
The excursions organized by Nofy Travel were well-planned, allowing me to discover fascinating places and experience unforgettable moments. Whether it was cultural visits, outdoor activities, or moments of relaxation, each day was filled with discoveries.
I recommend this agency without hesitation! Their professionalism and attention to detail truly made a difference. If you are looking for a memorable travel experience, Nofy Travel is undoubtedly an excellent choice!"

Very communicative, efficient and well organized.
Danford's planning and scheduling of our safari was absolutely convenient. He catered for the local transfers and costs, and his kind and explorative demeanor made the trip more relaxing. We got to try the local delicacy - the Azam ukwaju ice cream which offered much relief for a hot day. I highly recommend Paws and Claws Safaris.

Reliable, inexpensive and still a great survice!
I booked a 3-day safari tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with this operator. From the communication to the payment, everything went really well. I hadn’t had one problem during the tour and they picked me up at my hostel and brought me back with all my luggage after the tour. We had a well educated tour guide who did a great job and except for leopards which are hard to spot we were able to see the big five, serval cats, cheetah and many more animals! All in all I can highly recommend this operator!

Excellent value, mixed feelings
Booked 3-day Masai Mara tour with JungleRoam, stayed at Sankale Camp. Saw a load of animals, but there are some downsides.
Pros:
• Value for price is excellent.
• Our driver James was very experienced (over 20 years) and had a great network with other drivers, so he knew where the animals were. He spotted a rhino in the afternoon when we were all asleep!
• Chesi works incredibly hard and will support you through your booking with everything.
• Staff at Sankale Camp is so friendly. They taught me some Kikuyu and Masai words, and I was able to take a walk in the valley with a guide.
• Masai Mara is gorgeous.
• We saw everything: lion, rhino, giraffe, cheetah, elephant, hippo, alligator, antelope, Impala, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, EVERYTHING.
Cons:
• Shower wasn't actually warm, but tbh I didn't expect that.
• Driver James was not always communicative about what was happening. But if I asked him, he explained anything I wanted to know.
Important... Read more notes:
• Almost all Masai Mara tour operators drive aggressively close to animals (off-road) if rangers are not around. If you are into animal welfare, consider volunteering at a conservancy instead. Or hire a private safari and bring a telephoto lens.
• I believe Jocky tours, Jungle Roam, and Sunnycreek are all part of the same company. You will probably share a Jeep with people from another operator.

Excellent attentive service with comprehensive detailed itinerary
After getting quotes from a few different tour operators I felt incredibly confident in choosing Inspired Feet. The detailed itinerary made sure that no stone was unturned. The selection of accomodations for Lake Nakuru and Amboselli surpassed what I was expecting for a budget camping safari.
Our guide was attentive and gave every opportunity for us to see all the wildlife Kenya has to offer. I'd highly recommend Inspired Feet. They will be the first contact for me when I next come to Kenya, which will hopefully be soon!

Really informative and a real eye opener into Soweto
Tinyiko is a really informative and friendly tour guide for the Soweto tour. Taking a walk through the township was eye opening and seeing the smiling little children was a highlight. The Orlando 1976 site is very sobering. Thoroughly worthwhile tour in Joburg - good value

Couldn’t have asked for a better team
I had the best week with John and his crew this week climbing mt Kilimanjaro. Without the whole team, it wouldn’t have been possible. They were all very friendly and so caring. Always giving you what you need, lots of food, water, hot water for washing, hot water for tea coffee etc. they really are the best team I could’ve asked for, especially doing it solo. The summit climb is an incredibly challenging experience and John made this very do able for me I cannot thank him enough. The food they cook you is amazing, even on a mountain he can make top food, even for a picky eater! The porters make such an effort in getting your tent and gear to the next camp asap even though they must’ve been knackered so I cannot thank them enough. Again, thank you guys so much for helping me achieve this goal.

Very responsive
Great experience overall. Stuart was a great driver who was able to spot many animals! The accommodations were also very comfortable and welcoming. We were able to see so much!! The Ngorongoro Crater was especially magical.
