I highly recomend Live in Love Kenya Tours And Travel
5/5

I just got back from Kenya with my friends and I miss them already. We had an unforgettable few days traveling to Amboseli Park and Lake Naivasha with Peter and Jackson.
Great guys, they solved the problem we had with ease, they were attentive and fun to work with. I will use their services again next time. I highly recommend them to everyone.

We had an incredible time!!
5/5

This was our first ever safari (and first time in Africa), so we were really nervous. Our safari designer, Victor, was incredibly responsive and very helpful from the beginning to the end. We asked WAY too many questions, but he always answered promptly and clearly. We felt very assured by him along the way. We settled on an 8-day Safari, with a mid-range package which included a few days in Masai Mara, several days in the Serengeti, and a day in Ngorongoro Crater. It was PERFECT!

When it came to paying for the safari, we opted to try a wire transfer to avoid the credit card fee. We'd never wired money before, and our bank made this sound dangerous and sketchy. Even so, with clarity and assurance from Victor, we sent our down payment and it went through. He confirmed the funds arrived, and we breathed a sigh of relief. Not so scary after all!

Victor worked quickly to secure out stays, and though we were a little late to booking, he was able to find us wonderful places that fit our criteria. The one exception was our first location which did not have a room for our guide, Ben. He had to head elsewhere for a place to stay those nights.

When we arrived in Kenya, Ben (our Kenya driver) was waiting for us with a smile. He helped us with our bags, and we loaded up into the land cruiser. Off we went! Masai Mara was fantastic - so many elephants and lions. And our stay at Olengoti Eco Safari Camp was SO fun! We got to eat dinner by a river and watch hippos while we ate. So awesome! Ben may have been used to an older crowd that's ready t head back to camp by 3pm, but we definitely wanted to stay until close. Ben was flexible and agreed. We even got to see the Great Migration during our visit. I think this was July 19 & 20, 2024. The wildebeest had just started crossing the Mara! Ben's strength was in parking in really good spots for optimal viewing. We ALWAYS saw the animals really well!

After Kenya, we headed to the Kenya/Tanzania border at Isebania, where we parked, went into a building to pass through customs, then said goodbye to Ben and hello to Abraham. It's a long ride, but neat to see the local villages along the way. These countries are beautiful.

The Serengeti is a dream. It's all the Lion King vibes, and SO many great animals. We saw the big 5, but the rhino we saw in Ngorongoro was sooooo far away that we almost didn't think it counted (We saw one up close later in Nairobi National Park because we loved this safari so much, we had to add an extra little one before we headed home!). Abraham knew SO many things about the animals and area, so we went like we learned a TON from him. He was excellent! Definitely request Abraham, if you can!

We stayed at Kati-Kati Camps in the Serengeti, and at Kuhama Camp in Ngorongoro Crater. Both were great! After our 8 days were up, Abraham drove us to the Arusha airport where we said goodbye and headed out to our next adventure.

Every day on Safari is unique - some you see more animals, some less. its all part of the experience. Trust your guide, learn lots, listen well, respect the animals and the people, you'll have an awesome time! This was a dream trip come true! Cheers to Spirit of Kenya for making this a fantastic experience - we can't say enough good things about the whole thing. Booking with Spirit of Kenya feels like booking an all-inclusive. You get the driver/guide, land cruiser, lodging, food - everything you need is completely taken care of. You just need to show up with a nice camera, extra batteries, and a scarf for those dusty days. Get ready to have the time of your life!

A Life-Changing Kilimanjaro Experience with Incredible Africa Adventures!
5/5

Words cannot fully express our gratitude for choosing Incredible Africa Adventures for our Kilimanjaro hike. The journey itself was breathtaking, but what made it truly extraordinary was the incredible team that accompanied us every step of the way.

Our guides, Onesmo and Calvin, were more than just leaders—they made our trek fun, engaging, and educational. They shared their deep knowledge of the mountain, culture, and even gave us a Swahili lesson, making the experience even more immersive.

The support team was beyond exceptional. Our waiter, Mathew, ensured we always had hot water, delicious meals, and full water bottles—all while greeting us with a warm smile. Elia, our chef, worked wonders, serving meals that felt like they came straight from a five-star restaurant, even at high altitude!

The porters and tent crew were the unsung heroes of the journey, ensuring our comfort and making everything run smoothly. Their dedication and hospitality were simply unmatched.

This experience was truly the best in every aspect, and we wholeheartedly recommend Incredible Africa Adventures to anyone dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond, look no further—you’re in the best hands!

Extraordinary experience with our guide Papa John
5/5

We just came back from one of the greatest experiences ever. We spent 4 night with 5 days of safari with our guide/driver Papa John who was just amazing. His knowledge about the animals, experience and humor was just the cherry on top. He was quick in reading our group, what animals we were interested in, thing we wanted to pay extra attention on, simply just following the groups pace throughout the trip. Also his knowledge about every small little road in the parks made us experience unbelievable close encounters with animals (cheetahs, leopards, lions etc).


We wanted the safari to include a few surprises to the other group members to celebrate an anniversary and the tour operators made that possible with absolute discretion. Everything was comunicated directly and efficiently and they made sure to notice what details that were supposed to be kept a secret.


The tour operator also made it possible for us to customize the entire trip (switching parks and lodges etc) and always directly communicated any changes in the final price when customizing the tour.


When comparing other operators, Full Package Adventures was standing out in both price range, service and availability. Will definitely recommend to anyone considering safari for their next vacation.

Professional and genuine tour operator!
5/5

5/5 star tour operator! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the beginning to the end.

5 day 4 night safari private tour

The initial contact was from the beginning genuine. Our POC Yusuph was very helpful, friendly and quick to reply to any questions we had before our safari. Responding and helping us with alternative lodges and tenting options in Serengeti and creating a private itinerary with game drives to the different national parks that we requested.
It always felt honest and never really felt like we were “sugercoated” to promises they could not deliver on. It was good value for money and service was beyond our expectations.

Payments are safe and reliable. They contact us immediately whenever we sent our first deposit to confirm they had received money.

When we first met them, Yusuph greeted us and was very genuine. The company is not of the bigger tour agencies which left us with the impression of being intimate and caring. - Our driver John. (Or as we now know him “papa John”)
What a wonderful person - He made us smile and laugh the entire trip, he was very knowledgeable and also answered all our questions that sometimes might have gotten out of hand.😂
He was so attentive to our actions as to when to slow down for photos when we held our camera/phone or move to another spot to find another angle for our photos of the animals. It almost felt like he could read our minds and figure out what animals we were hoping to see everyday. He really went out and beyond to find all the different animals during our game drives with still respecting the animals and their need of space.
John’s driving was also of excellence. Never did anyone in our group feel sick when getting in the car with John. He drives like he knows every single rock on the dirt road.
John was so service minded and always made sure we were taken care of and that we were all feeling ok.

Would definitely recommend this tour agency to anyone looking for a genuine and reliable Safari operator.

Amazing tailor-made package which got me and my group to decided when and where to be.
5/5

Great safari with our tour guide Papa John. We spent 5 days in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara and got to see the big five and amazing landscapes and animals. Papa John took us around safely and efficient.

Lodges and accommodation were great and we could choose from a range of different options depending on budget.

Great communication from the booking office before the trip.

5 stars, I would definitely recommend friends and family to go with Papa John if they ever plan on visiting Tanzania.

Five star experience
5/5

We are very very pleased with our 5 day safari trip in Tanzania with full package adventures. They were flexible and we got to make our own schedule during the safari. Everything was matching our expectations. We were provided with a very experienced and safe driver, John. He was teaching and showing us a lot of Africas wildlife, including the big 5. We got to see the big cats close up, and lots of different species. They had great options for accommodation and the food was good. I would definitely recommend full package adventures.

My friend and I had an amazing 3-day safari exploring Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater....and what an immaculate experience it was! A huge shout-out to Danford, the mastermind who flawlessly arranged everything for us. He’s truly a pro!

Great value - Stellar customer service
5/5

I had an incredible experience with eSafari Africa on my Kilimanjaro trek. After extensive research, they offered the best value—hands down the most affordable option I could find without compromising on quality.

From the very beginning, Eke was exceptionally responsive. Every question I had was answered promptly, and she ensured I felt completely prepared before the journey even began. I felt very comfortable and Eke became my point of contact while in Arusha and Moshi. She helped with many other things outside of the trek I booked with her. So I couldn't recommend her more. I felt like I had a trusted friend the entire time I wan in Tanzania. Once on the mountain, everything was well-organized, and I felt supported at every step.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly yet reliable Kilimanjaro operator with excellent communication and service, I highly recommend eSafari Africa. Eke truly goes above and beyond to take care of you!

Eke will also help you find the best Safari or park experience so ask her before you book with anyone else.

The hostel/inn that they operate from is very low budget. It's doable if you're backpacking and can put up with subpar facilities. But you can stay at nice hotel and still book the excursions with them. They're in the middle remodeling and changind things around so this could change in the future.

Overall, you'll not find better value and better customer service anywhere else. Please check with Eke before you book excursions with anyone else.
