Unforgettable Safari with Kikitu – A True Master of the Maasai Mara
This April, Daniel and I (Jose) had the absolute privilege of exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Kenya, and I can say without hesitation that the experience was made unforgettable thanks to our guide, Kikitu.
From the moment we set off for the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, Kikitu's passion, knowledge, and deep connection to the land were evident. He didn’t just show us the wildlife – he taught us to see through his eyes. Every animal encounter was not just exciting, but educational, Kikitu always had something fascinating to share, and his excitement was contagious. You could tell he loves what he does – and it makes all the difference.
His intuition and sharp eye for spotting animals were truly impressive. Time and time again, he managed to find wildlife where others had passed by unknowingly. It felt like magic – but it was all skill, dedication, and a deep respect for nature.
What truly stood out was Kikitu's heart. He brings joy to everything he does. His smile, his laughter, and his genuine care for his guests made us feel more like friends than clients. He was always present, always involved, and made sure every moment was meaningful.
We also can’t forget his amazing assistant, Kopu (I hope I’m spelling it right!) – calm, capable, and a perfect complement to Kikitu’s energy. Together, they were an incredible team, making us feel safe, inspired, and totally immersed in the adventure.
This was not just a safari. It was a life experience – thanks to Kikitu. If you are planning to visit Kenya, do everything you can to have him as your guide. He doesn’t just show you Africa – he helps you feel it.
Asante sana, Kikitu and Kopu – you made this journey extraordinary.

Johnny was very friendly, fun and knowledgeable.
We had a brilliant time on safari. We had an excellent tour operator, Johnny Jackson. He was really friendly and fun and looked after us. He was a very good driver. It had been raining so a lot of the roads were either difficult to pass or we weren't able to but he knew all the alternative routes. He was also very considerate of my Mum's sore back and went on the least bumpy routes he could. We got to see so many different animals on the tour and Johnny was really good at getting us as close as we could to them. He also had a lot of knowledge about each animal so we learnt a lot. There were stops along the way there and back. Overall, we had a fantastic experience on safari and with Johnny.

5 Day Safari
I had an amazing time on my 5 day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Everything was perfect from start to finish and truly I have nothing bad to say about the entire experience. From the tour guide, to the food, to the transport to the accommodation, everything was great! We managed to see everything on my ticklish including the big 5 which of course was a once in a lifetime experience which I am so grateful for! If you’re looking to book a safari I would truly recommend fondness vacations and the 5 day tour!

Fantastic experience with caring, knowledgeable people
I treated my family to the experience of a lifetime, choosing Wild Planet Safari and I am so pleased I did. We were a group of 5 adults and one child aged 9.
From the first emails with Thale, nothing was too much trouble and we developed a 'plan' together to cater for us from our flights from UK into the Kruger to our flight out 6 days later.
Thale recommended the Call of the Wild for our first 2 nights stay. This was a very special place and offered us our first sightings of wild life in the garden, including giraffe and zebra! We went to see endangered animals and a boat trip, all in the capable hands of Raff, our guide for the time in the Krugar.
We then set off for 3 nights in Krugar park and were joined by Hope who was to be our resident chef. He had a tough job on his hands, with 2 vegetarians and one very fussy 9 year old boy. Hope and Raff provided us with fantastic food including a BBQ and picnics. We all loved the food and Hope gave me a recipe for his special chicken dish!
On the drives, we saw all the usual game but were enthralled by not one pair, but 2 pairs of mating lions. One couple were lying on the edge of the road exhausted from their efforts! We were booked on a night drive (not requested but Thale thought it would add to our experience). We found 5 lions walking in the road on a mission! You could have heard a pin drop despite a big vehicle with around 20 people on board.
At all times, Raff was respectful of the animals and added to our sightings with sharing his extensive knowledge of animals, birds and trees! We could not have wished for a better guide. The pair remained with us until we were safely through security for our onward flight. I think we will all be talking about this experience for years to come so if you are looking for a small, caring company who make everything work smoothly, I would recommend Wild Planet!

Incredible safari!
We had a fantastic 6 day safari with Adventures in Tanzania. We saw some incredible animals and it was well organised. Some highlights included Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Materuni waterfall.
Tour was very good value for money and we felt we got a lot out of it. We also very much enjoyed the food provided.
Geff really cared about our experience and made sure that we were taken care of throughout the tour.
Highly recommend!!

Reliable, friendly, very knowledgeable and passionate.
Everlasting African Adventures made our experience in Arusha quite enjoyable.
We visited Serval Widlife, Kikuletwa Hotsprings, Cultural Heritage, Lake Duluti, Ngare Serro Lodge and the Bali Swing, all in a span of 2 days!
Godlisten the tourgide was reliable, picking us from the hotel and dropping us off within stated timelines.
We found him extremely knowledgeable, often providing historical facts about the sites visited and those we passed along the way. He also went above and beyond in all aspects - often doing all activities with us.
The fact that he spoke English was also helpful as Tanzanian Swahili can be quite different from Kenyan Swahili.
I would definitely recommend Everlasting African Adventures for anyone who is after reliability, value for money, timely and excellent service all round!
As Godlisten would say, ‘Hongera kwa Kazi’!

Very efficient and reliable
This was our first ever holiday. Bluechip took us through every step and ensured that we got to our destination safe and sound by making follow ups. The resort was spectacular and for the few days we stayed, we forgot how real life was. The children really enjoyed themselves and up to this day they always speak about the amazing experience we had.
