We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari journey with Kubwa Five Safaris, and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Our guide, Charles, provided exceptional service, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip.
The accommodations at each location were of the highest standard, conveniently situated near the attractions we visited, making them easily accessible. The booking process was efficient and streamlined, with our expectations clearly understood and meticulously organized.
The overall value for the price was outstanding, as it encompassed all aspects of the trip, including meals, transportation, and park entrance fees. Each lodge we stayed at had its own unique character, adding to the richness of our experience.
This trip far exceeded our expectations, and we are already eager to return. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Kubwa Five Safaris for providing us with a truly unforgettable experience. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a memorable safari adventure
Knowledgeable
Stanley was super enthusiastic and seemed so dedicated to ensuring we saw the animals we wanted to see and have the best experience we could have. He knew so much about every animal and had a real eye for spotting. Overall the perfect safari experience.

Very good with the big five.
We did a multi-day safari visiting the parks of Nairobi, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.
We were able to enjoy the diversity of habitats and species. Edward was our driver. He put a lot of effort into the search for and approaches to wildlife. We observed more than 190 species of birds during the trip. Wildsasa safaris are very good working with the big five species. They are upgrading birding and photography experiences for next safaris.

Responsible, fun, comfortable, making for an unforgettable trip
From the start of the consultation and booking, a serious and patient response was provided, with a reasonable itinerary that was fulfilling but not particularly exhausting. It offers great value for money, and the guide is also very experienced, showing us many animals.

A Journey of a Lifetime with Earthwings Tours
Our recent experience with Martin and Reuben of Earthwings Tours was nothing short of magical. From the moment they greeted us at the airport, we instantly felt that we were in exceptionally capable hands. They were not just our guides, but our trusted companions on a journey that unveiled the true wonder of Kenya.
Throughout our tour, Martin and Reuben were with us every step of the way—always kind, remarkably patient, and passionately eager to share every bit of the country’s breathtaking beauty. Whether it was spotting the dazzling array of birds, marveling at zebras crossing the plains, or witnessing the majestic presence of giraffes, wildebeests, gazelles, buffaloes, and even the elusive big cats, they ensured we didn’t miss a single moment.
They took us through the stunning landscapes of Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and the iconic “spotted plains” of Maasai Mara, each destination more captivating than the last. In Maasai Mara, they introduced us to the secret, untamed corners where wildlife flourishes—a raw, living museum of nature where every creature thrives and survives against the odds. Their in-depth explanations of animal behaviors and the fascinating stories of lion and cheetah families, shared from years of intimate observation, enriched our understanding and deepened our respect for the natural world.
Every aspect of our trip was carefully curated, from selecting the most enchanting accommodations to enjoying the yummiest, most soul-satisfying meals. They managed every detail with a level of care that made traveling with a group—including seven adults and two children—a seamless, joyous experience. Their exceptional way with children ensured that even the youngest members of our group were engaged, curious, and delighted by the magic surrounding us.
As we watched the last sunset over Maasai Mara, we felt a bittersweet farewell knowing that we had witnessed one of the most beautiful parts of this planet. The journey was nothing less than life-changing—a trip filled with unforgettable memories, genuine kindness, and heartfelt adventures that have left us longing to return.
Huge thanks to Martin and Reuben for orchestrating the best trip of our lives. Their passion for Kenya and its wildlife turned our adventure into a treasure trove of stories, laughter, and genuine human connection. We can’t wait to come back and experience their extraordinary world once again!

Tanzanian Explorer-Uganda & Tanzania What a trip! Detailed, great communicators and an amazing team.
Our amazing trip began when our friends recommended Sondre to plan our African adventure. My husband and I had a about a week for a safari and other than telling him our rough budget, we left it with him to create the itinerary. Sondre got back to us with a very detailed, day by day description of what he recommended for the time of year and time we had. We were travelling end of February into March. Our trip also included a stop in Rwanda to visit friends and so we looked into a Gorilla trek. Sondre recommended we also consider looking at Uganda as it offered a great way to do a Gorilla trek also and much more $$ friendly. Luckily for us, Tanzanian Explorer were able to look after this part of our trip also and it made it seamless as we tied all the travel in Uganda with our Safari in Tanzania.
We spent 3 nights in Uganda near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where the Gorilla families live. Chameleon Hill Lodge was lovely. Our driver, Jimmy, took us to all our activities. It is remote and the roads are rugged and rural in this beautiful area. We always felt safe and the staff at the Lodge were fantastic. The trek and time with the Gorillas was unforgettable and one of the highlights of our time in Africa. The golden monkey trek on our second day was also excellent and we enjoyed some kayaking on Lake Mutanda where our lodge was located.
Now for the safari. Upon arrival in Arusha we were met by our fantastic and experienced guide Joshua. He took us to Olerai Lodge for our first night before starting our Safari in the Tarangire River area. That first day of seeing so many of the animals was so memorable. He has exceptional knowledge of the animals, and all the flora and fauna. Our next stop was Lake Manyara with more animals and a different landscape. Then to the Ngorogoro Crater where we spent the night in a camp on the crater rim. Outstanding early morning start into the crater which was unforgettable. Then on the the Serengeti and four nights at Asanja Moru. Joshua took us everywhere over the next 3 days and we saw so much. Our gorgeous camp was near a river and quite "forested" rather than the open savannah. The Wildebeest/Zebra migration was in full throttle and there were literally hundreds and hundreds of them everywhere- mind boggling.
Communications with the Tanzanian Explorer team was exceptional from the time planning the trip to our actual travelling days as they checked in with us regularly. Everything about our trip was memorable, each camp different, each area different, so many animals and so many wonderful and kind people looking after us. Highly recommend Tanzanian Explorer if you want a trip of a lifetime. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience on the oasis location.
I'll be returning from a fantastic 7-day trip offered by Gateway Africa. It was a combination of Namibian’s best destination: The Namib Desert and the quaint town of Swakopmund.
Our tour organizer was Annelie. We were impressed with her professionalism and attention to detail. She provided us with the best tour options, detailed information about the country, and hour/day tour information.
From the airport pickup point till the last day, she organized exceptional service.
Our exceptional guide Berron was not only friendly but also highly skilled. His knowledge and warm personality made our trip unforgettable.
Namib Naukluft Lodge is situated in the oasis part of Namibia. The staff offered us a very nice ambiance in a very clean location.
They served delicious traditional meals in the unforgettable location. The ambiance here is always inviting and comfortable.
The exceptional service we received each time keeps us coming back. Thank you a lot for your professional services.

What ever you wish for, they can make it happen!
Our holiday was perfectly organised by Somewhere in Africa. When putting together the trip, they listen carefully to you, so that the trip is put together according to your wishes and budget.
The guide was really skilled and very kind, he explained a lot about the animals and the people we met. We saw the big 5 and many more animals. The cook was great and made sure we had a lovely dinner every evening, he packed our lunches and had a good breakfast to start with every morning.
We like to travel with smaller local organisations and Somewhere in Africa did a fantastic job. You are not a number, they keep in contact during your stay.
Both the safari and the lodge where we stayed were perfect!
