Great Safari Experience
My friends and I had an amazing safari tour with Incredible Africa Adventures through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. It was well arranged since our first day till our last day of the tour.
We were able to see many elusive animals, all thanks to the experience and persistence of our driver and guide, Joseph.
It was an unforgettable experience, I can’t recommend them enough!

Very professional tour operator providing perfectly organised tour with excellent guide
Very professional tour operator from first contact to end of the tour, with excellent and punctual support in the organisation.
The tour itself (11 days with guide) was very well designed, we really enjoyed the perfect organisation, the amazing lodges and the delicious food everywhere we went (also special dietary requirements were taken into account).
We had a very knowledgable guide with whom we felt very safe in the long drives and everywhere we went, and who always provided explanations about the fauna, flora and geology of Namibia. Thanks to him we were able to learn so much about the country and enjoy things we would not have noticed had we travelled alone. We were able to spot all wildlife we had expected to see...and much more beyond that.
With Blue Crane Safaris we had an unforgettable holiday in Namibia and would definitely travel with them again next time in Namibia!

Understand our needs, professional, comfort and caring.
We went to the Nairobi National Park with Khalifa and we appreciated how he made sure we would spot the most animals, especially the lions. When he spotted he was even more happy then us. We had a good time and I recommend this TA.

Outstanding experience from start to finish
We were recommended to use Tanzania Choice Safaris by a relative - and they were absolutely right! Communication with Brenda was friendly and professional. She crafted a bespoke trip for us, including time on Mafia Island to spot whale sharks, and was very patient with our shifting dates! We were lucky enough to have co-owner Kakasii as our guide and benefitted from his experience and deep knowledge. This was our first time in sub-Saharan Africa and our first safari experience. It was every bit as memorable as we'd hoped (for a 'round' birthday). We were looked after and always felt in safe hands, wherever we stayed. Kakasii kept in touch with our airline to make sure our luggage - which sadly didn't arrive with us - was in the accommodation on the second night. Saw all the Big 5 across Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, plus some snorkelling and relaxing by the beach. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime!

Perfect safari tour through Kenia
We booked a 9 day safari tour including Masai Mara, Nakuru, Navaisha and Amboseli Park and it was just amazing. I couldn’t think of anything that was missing! Ann booked and organised the perfect tour for us and was always available and fast in response!
Our guide Brian was just amazing, he was able to show us so many animals and was very well connected and especially respected by the other guides. He was also always there when someone needed help. He has a great knowledge of all the animals incl birds and knew all the places where the animals could be seen. Many thanks to blue mountain for such a great experience we could have! Would definitely rebook again!

Great Value Northern Tanzania Safari (June Visit)
Our June budget safari through Tanzania's northern circuit (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro) with Claws of Africa was quite an adventure that exceeded expectations, despite some challenges.
The Good:
- Fatuma's booking process was exceptional - professional, transparent, and refreshingly non-pushy
- Excellent Spanish translator (Vincent) and a skilled cook who made delicious meals
- Wildlife viewing was fantastic across all parks
- Great value for money considering the comprehensive itinerary
- June timing was perfect - comfortable weather and good visibility
The Less Good:
- Several vehicle breakdowns (though company handled them well)
- Very basic accommodation (as advertised)
- Some adventurous driving moments
Worth Noting:
This was a budget safari, so expect basic camping facilities. However, the wildlife experience matches any luxury tour, and the food was surprisingly good. The company managed all challenges professionally, ensuring we didn't miss key experiences.
Tips:
- Consider accommodation upgrades if basic camping isn't your style
- Pack warm clothes for June mornings
- Bring a flexible, adventure-ready attitude
Overall:
Despite vehicle issues and basic accommodation, Claws of Africa delivered excellent value. Recommended for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize experience over comfort. The June timing offered ideal safari conditions with mild temperatures and good wildlife viewing.

They are very professional and good at what they do
I have done many researches before booking with them. After the adventure is finished I made sure it was the best choice. Very supportive and nice people.

Amazing wild life and hospitality experience
We came with high expectations and the team of "Heritage of African Jungles" and, in particular, our guide topped them by far. He was very friendly, most helpful and extremely knowledgeable. It was a great pleasure being his guest. He was able to lead us to so many wild animals, we did not miss any we wanted to see. Also the whole trip was very well designed and the lodges were well chosen. It was an amazing experience.

Exceptional Kenyan Safari Experience - Highly Recommended!
In June we, a group of 4, did an outstanding 5-day safari through Kenya's finest wildlife destinations, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. This review covers our journey through Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Naivasha.
Communication & Booking: ★★★★★
The booking process was flawless. Paul, our contact person, was exceptionally responsive and professional. His immediate responses to all inquiries made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
Initially, we were hesitant about including Lake Nakuru in our itinerary, but it was definitely worth the visit and fit perfectly into the schedule.
Guide & Vehicle: ★★★★★
Our guide James was a true professional - quiet but incredibly competent. His extensive knowledge of the area and wildlife, combined with his ability to quickly spot and track animals, gave us an edge over other groups. We were particularly impressed by his skill in positioning us ahead of wildlife movements, resulting in spectacular viewing opportunities. The vehicle itself, a Land Cruiser, was in pristine condition and proved to be an excellent choice. Pro tip: Avoid the minivans - we saw several broken down during our trip.
Wildlife Experience: ★★★★½
We were fortunate to encounter almost every animal on our wishlist, with the elusive leopard being the only exception. James's expertise in tracking and timing meant we often arrived at sightings before other vehicles, providing unobstructed views and great photo opportunities. The diversity of wildlife and landscapes across the three locations offered a comprehensive Kenyan safari experience.
Accommodation: ★★★★★
Our stay at the Zebra Plains Tented Camp exceeded expectations. Despite being 30 minutes from the Masai Mara National Park entrance, the slight distance was a non-issue. The camp offered a perfect blend of authentic safari atmosphere and luxury glamping comfort. The food was consistently good, adding to the overall experience.
Value for Money: ★★★★★
As a group of four, we found the pricing very reasonable for the quality of service received.
The decision to use a Land Cruiser instead of a minivan was particularly valuable - we saw several groups losing precious safari time due to broken-down minivans.
What Could Be Better:
- The 30-minute drive to the park entrance might be an issue for some, though we found it manageable
- Missing the leopard sighting (though this is nature, and can't be guaranteed)
Overall Verdict:
This safari experience exceeded our expectations in almost every way. From the initial booking process through to the final departure, the attention to detail and level of service was outstanding. The combination of James's expert guiding, comfortable accommodation, and well-maintained vehicle made for an unforgettable adventure. Lake Nakuru, which we initially wanted to skip, turned out to be a wonderful addition to our itinerary.
