Kenya has a unique balance between nature and civilization
The trip start with a bit of a hiccup that we arrived to Lake Nakuru on international tourism day which allow free access to all Kenyan National so the ride to our lodge from Nairobi airport was a lot longer then we have anticipated due to the traffic. We were able to sees some animals on the way but it felt more like a zoo than a national reserve. The purpose to visit Lake Nakura was to see the flamingos but there were very few and far to see which was a bit disappointing but again it is nature and we cannot control it. We departed from Lake Nakura to Masai Mara which was a 7 hours ride (getting out Lake Nakura took almost 2 hours) so I would recommend to fly as the drive was long and the 4x4 Land Cruiser is not very comfortable for long road trip. The highlight of the trip was obviously, Masai Mara, the amount of animals and the beautiful landscape was amazing. I have been to Kurger National Park in South Africa and would say that Masai Mara is bit better. Overall Benson, our tour operator was able to recover from the hiccup in the beginning and made a very memorable trip for us.

Dancing Zebra made our safari the journey of a lifetime!
Jessica at Dancing Zebra listened carefully to what we wanted and created an amazing itinerary for our safari. She made recommendations based on her experience and put us in the perfect locations to experience the migration and experience the best of Tanzania. When one our group members missed a flight because of an airline snafu, Jessica and her team were right there to help her book a later flight and arrange transportation to catch up with the group.
Every aspect of our trip (accommodations, transportation, tours, guides) was exactly as described and communicated in the planning documents. The people, food, and accommodations at the Lemala Camps were outstanding. Our guide Frank was incredible. His expertise put us a step ahead of all the other vehicles for the best pictures and views. We learned so much from him and can't thank him enough for making the trip such an unforgettable experience.
I would highly recommend Dancing Zebra Safari and will be booking another trip with Jessica in the future.

friendly, knowledgeable and educated
All of the guides were well educated, friendly and accommodating. When we went to Kruger, Rocky did a great job working with other guides and knowing where the animals were. He organized the afternoon and put us in front of many animals we would have never spotted on our own.

Great communications, value for money
Kennedy was super responsive over email while I was looking at booking. Went with Bienvenido purely based on the pre booking communications. The safari was very well organised, you will be in a group with people who have booked via other providers, so many offer the same tour, after speaking to the other group members Bienvenido were slightly cheaper and Kennedy was way more responsive.
Accommodation is budget, but comfortable, clean and has everything you need. If you're lucky enough to get Stanley as a tour guide you'll have an amazing time, he really did make the tour what it was. Friendly, knowledgeable, funny and super amazing, went out of his way to make sure we had the best time, Stan you rock!!
If you have a suitcase/big backpack, you can leave it at the office in Nairobi, and take a smaller bag, you can either collect on the way back via the office or they will meet you near the airport to drop it off.
Well organised, on time for everything and I don't regret picking them for a second, thank you.

Our tour operator was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
My husband and I booked a private tour with Beacon Safaris and opted for the safari Land Cruiser and we have no regrets! The driver picked us up from our hotel on time, made sure we had appropriate and safe stops while on the road, and was a great mix of personable and professional.
The hotel lodge that we stayed at on the tour was also exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there! We felt that the pricing was extremely reasonable for everything that was included in the experience. Would highly recommend and would book with them again.

Awesome Safari Company!
I recently went on a 6-day safari with Long Way Expeditions. We visited 3 different National Parks and I’m happy to say that I did get awesome pictures of “The Big Five” animals during my safari. I can’t say enough good things about Ann and Abu, the owners of Long Way. I received excellent, personalized service while booking the trip as well as upon my arrival to Africa and throughout the safari itself. Abu is very knowledgeable about the animals, the parks we visited, and he has an eagle eye for spotting wildlife that I could hardly believe. On a few occasions, it took some effort for me to find an animal through my zoom lens that Abu spotted with the naked eye as we were driving! Although the parks are navigated mostly via dirt tire ruts all over the place, Abu never hesitated on making a turn or ever consulted a map. He has many years of experience travelling through the parks. The day before my safari, Ann personally came to see me at my hotel, and we sat together as she explained what to expect and how the safari would work. Ann and Abu were both very responsive to texts and emails whenever I needed information. There are larger safari companies out there, but I’d highly recommend this family run business that gives a more personal approach any day. Highly recommended, they are truly a 10/10 safari company. I couldn’t say “Asante Sana” enough for their work.

All i can say, I had the greatest time of my life. Everything was on point. Always on time, good at communicating, service was 10/10 and I enjoyed my tour. They are the best at tour guiding.

Absolutely amazing
We had an amazing time. Our guide Milly was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and gave us very detailed and insightful commentary throughout our day. It was so much better doing this with a guide rather than trying to navigate it all ourselves. Recommend highly
