A truly “splendid” safari tour :)
This safari tour has become an irreplaceable memory for our lives. To be honest, it was our first time in Kenya, so we were very worried, but there were no problems. All the hotels we stayed at were hygienic and the food was delicious, some hotels had amazing views. I got sick one day, but a nurse was always there, and even though it was early in the morning, she arranged for me to see her and get some medicine right away, so I recovered quickly. The safari tour was so much fun that I can’t put it into words, we were able to see a lot of animals up close. I never thought I would be able to see the world of the Lion King in real life.
Our consultant, Alice, was always very prompt and polite from the beginning of the inquiry to the end of the trip. She responded sincerely to our requests for many adjustments, honestly told us when our thoughts were a disadvantage, and made a detailed plan to make it better for us even. The only disappointing thing about this trip is that I wasn't able to thank her directly. Our driver, Alex, welcomed us with a smile that blew away our worries about our first safari at the airport, and did his best to help us see as many animals as possible up close. I told him at the airport that I love rhinos, and he gave me the best experience at Ol Pejata(you can see in the photo) . He also answered all my many questions (not only about the animals, but also about Kenya and Africa) and was many learnings.
I would definitely go on a safari again. and I strongly recommend people to use Splendid as they will for sure make your trip splendid!

Amazing experience - Great value for Money
We are two friends (24-year-old women) who decided to go on a safari with a small budget.
Karibu Safari offered us a perfectly tailored program based on our requests, at a very reasonable price.
5-day Safari Itinerary:
• Masai Mara
• Lake Nakuru
• Lake Naivasha + Crescent Island
• Hell’s Gate
The experience was incredible—we saw all the animals we wanted to see! Our guides, Jeff and Edwin, were very enthusiastic and determined to show us as many animals as possible. (The safari car was great- averyone had a window + opened roof)
• The hotels were perfectly fine, and the food was excellent (if you want to be in very nice hotels I recommend paying extra for better places but our goal was the safari and lower budget hotel helped us reduce our total price and it was absolutely correct - clean bed, good bathroom)
• A plus was that the hotels were located right next to the parks, so we didn’t have to spend extra time on the road during our safari days.
We could fully trust the organization—they picked us up on time from our hotel and dropped us off as planned on the last day. (That was a part that scarred us a bit when we booked cause we didn’t know much about the organisation, that’s why I’m righting this comment!)
Conclusion : KARIBU safari gave us exactly what we were looking for in our trip!
A huge thank you to Karibu Safari for this amazing experience!
We highly recommend it!

Leopard Orchid Safaris made our family safari trip to Kenya amazing and so memorable!
We have just got back from an amazing 8 day safari in Kenya organised through Leopard Orchid Safaris and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Firstly, they were very accommodating at arranging exactly what we wanted. I had lots of emails to and from Elijah as he put together a perfect itinerary to suit us a family (which includes 3 teenagers).
Secondly, our driver/guide Lawrence was brilliant! As a driver he was great - always able to navigate all roads, both in national parks and on main roads, calmly and safely. As a guide he was incredible - so much knowledge of the wildlife and great at getting the vehicle in the perfect position for us to see amazing things, for example a cheetah and her cubs or elephants crossing the road in front of us. He also taught us a lot about Kenya and its culture. Lawrence really made such a big difference to the trip.
All the hotels booked for us by Leopard Orchard Safaris were great. We had given Elijah our budget and he found great places without going over budget.
We visited Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara over 8 days. I highly recommend the trip and I recommend you arrange it through Leopard Orchid Safaris.

Wonderful trip
The five days trip arranged by Super Eagles Company is the best memory in my life. I am keeping to shock with the various of the wild animals during the trip. Brian is the best tour guide I have met. He is an expert to deliver exciting views of animals to us. No one can do such perfect a job if without a terrific driving skill and a rich tour experiences with the wild animals in the field.

Amazing service
I couldn't recommend this Jockey Tours and Safaris more! Everything ran so smoothly and was very organised. There was no waiting around and we always knew where we had to be and when. The safari itself is incredible. Our guide Kevin was unbelievable. He made everything so special, provided us multiple up close unforgettable experiences with the animals and was super knowledgable when answering all our questions. Overall couldn't recommend more, plus super great value for money.

Very professional approach, prompt response and professional response to difficulties along the way.
We had a lovely 2 days safari in Mikumi National Park, organized by GGST. First contact impressed me, it was professional and prompt, even modifications we did were addressed instantly. During safari all was great, we had a very friendly driver, who knew what was doing and have seen all the animals there is to see, even Leopard. At the end on the way back to Dar we had a small hiccup, however was addressed and solved by operator instantly.

Unforgettable experience
Kevin was the most fantastic guide which made this experience so amazing. I always felt so safe and we got to see so many different species so close up which didn't expect. This experience has far exceeded my expectations and is one that i will never forget. Great value for money, our vehicle was slightly crowded but that is the package we had chosen and it did not hinder our experience. Food was exactly what was needed and they kindly catered to our dietary requirements. Our tent was gorgeous and equipped with a hot shower and comfy beds. Overall 10/10

Fantastic guide with great knowledge, experience, and insights
This safari exceeded all my expectations. Kevin our guide was so skilled in finding the animals and bringing us close to them. We felt he always knew what he was doing and he was always so respectful to the animals, not staying for too long or keeping the engine on beside them. He was also full of information and could answer all our questions. Incredible safari all round
