Amazing game drive experience
I had 4 private game drives in Masai Mara as a part of my Kenya trip mid-January with Brian being my guide/driver. His impeccable wildlife knowledge and high-skilled driving made my trip an absolute joy.
Not only did we manage to spot all of Big Five, but every drive I had was full of amazing animal encounters.
This wasn't my first game drive experience, so I had my expectations, and Brian went above and beyond to make it memorable, interesting, safe and enjoyable.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide
We had a 3 day two night safari going through the Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Sarengeti with Mack as our guide. This was our first time to African, and my wife and I were blown away. We got to saw upclose almost all animals we wanted to and even some more rare ones at a distance. The accommodations were great, and loved the entire Safari.

Absolutely amazing eight-day safari with Travel to Africa
We went on an eight-day safari with Travel to Africa, and it was absolutely amazing—way beyond our expectations! Right from the start, everything went smoothly. Mohamed was super quick to respond to all our questions and helped us put together a custom safari just the way we wanted.
When we arrived, Tunu and Jackline made sure everything was taken care of. Joel was so kind, friendly, and always on time—he met and saw us off at the airport and was our super guide in Arusha.
But the real star of our trip was our safari guide, Athumani Simba! He’s not just a great guy but also an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable guide. He has an unbelievable eye for spotting animals from far away, predicting their movements, and getting us to the perfect spot for an unforgettable experience.
We explored Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and so much more. Watching wildlife in their natural habitat was simply magical—like a leopard having lunch up in a tree, a herd of 28 elephants with their babies drinking, bathing, and playing in the water, and young buffaloes play-fighting. Every day was filled with incredible moments!
It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Wonderful world of animals
We saw a lot of animals, thanks to our guide. He tried very hard to get us as close to the animals as possible. It was never boring, there was always something to discover, he explained everything we wanted to know.
The lodges varied greatly, from clean, friendly and just perfect to...well...
I can only recommend that everyone book the mountain tour separately. Unfortunately, this was a catastrophic organization and very annoying. The mountain guide had no contact with KubwaFive, he didn't know the program we had booked!!! - The reason for only 3 stars!
As mentioned, we were very lucky with our guide Tony - he made the vacation unforgettable and beautiful for us

Transtrek exceeded all our expectations
We were looking for a holiday of a lifetime to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, and decided a safari could be just that
We contacted Daniel, who was able to guide us through the options, and helped us to plan a bespoke holiday based on their Wilderness and Waves package. He was always prompt in dealing with our questions, and was flexible with our start date, as we were organizing our own flights. He provided us with a fantastic, detailed itinerary.
Throughout our trip, Peter was our driver as well as our guide. We started in Nairobi National Park working our way through Amboseli, Tsavo West, Saltlick, Tsavo East and then on to Chale Island. Peter was an excellent guide, and we saw even more animals than we imagined we would. Peter dealt with all the passes for the different parks, and booking us into the accommodation on route. All the accommodation whether tents, lodges or hotels was of a very high standard, as was the food.
The 4 night stay on Chale Island topped off the holiday perfectly! A lovely time to relax before going home.
We really did have the holiday of a lifetime, and can wholeheartedly recommend Transtrek to anyone looking for the same.

Very well organized safari
Really well organized safari. They offered suggestions and we build the trip together. Fast response to my questions.
The driver called Franco was excellent!!! Lots of knowledge and well planned. Flexible and with lots of alternative ideas that made the trip special. Clean new car with lots of space! We asked to go to a church worship on the Sunday and he organized it and it was such a great experience.
Overall we had a amazing time, saw lots of animals and really enjoyed our time.
We thank our guide Franco and the team in the family leisure safari company.
Next time I will choose the most expensive hotels especially in Masai Mara park as the quality of the hotels in the medium category was vey bad.
