Amazing tour with guide James Jichina
This tour was amazing for us, starting with the very good communication with Silas via Whatsapp to organize and then with James Jichina, our very skilled and caring guide. With him we saw the big 5 and lots of other animals, especially lions in action (trying to hunt, eating and mating). Enkorok Camp was beautiful, the accomodation is clean and comfortable and we had a very good time in this safari. I 100% recommend Safari Update Travels and James Jichina!

This is five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ trip for us
Me and my friend had an amazing 6-day safari with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris—they are truly the best!
From the start, Serengeti Wildlife Safaris stood out. They were the first to reply to our email, and Varaline was exceptional in handling all our queries. Her prompt and friendly responses made planning the trip so smooth. The itinerary covered the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and even a Kilimanjaro day trip! Varaline ensured everything was well-organized and exactly what we wanted.
Our guide, Richard, made the safari unforgettable. He wasn’t just a professional guide but also an animal expert, skilled driver, and excellent photographer. During our trip, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including the Big Five! In Ngorongoro, we spotted lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos all in one day. In the Serengeti, we witnessed a lion pride feasting on a buffalo, and Richard shared fascinating details about their hunting techniques. We also saw cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, hippos, and even crocodiles in Lake Manyara. The birdlife was equally breathtaking with flamingos, eagles, and colorful starlings.
Our day trip to Kilimanjaro was the perfect way to wrap up the adventure, giving us a glimpse of the majestic mountain.
In conclusion, Serengeti Wildlife Safaris exceeded all our expectations. Varaline and Richard made this a trip of a lifetime. If you're looking for the best safari experience in Tanzania, I highly recommend them!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
We recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime safari across East Africa, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our goal was to combine different countries and wildlife experiences, and Kubwa Five offered the perfect variety of combinations.
From the very beginning, the team's commitment to providing excellent service was clear. They were incredibly organized and attentive, giving us all the necessary information well in advance of our trip. In fact, they stayed in touch with us throughout the planning stages and even followed up on our flights and all other details before arrival, which helped to ensure everything went smoothly.
Our adventure began in the breathtaking landscapes of Rwanda and Uganda, where we were fortunate to be guided by Smith.
He was incredibly approachable, always happy to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the local life connecting with us on both personal and educational levels.
What impressed us most was his dedication to ensuring we experienced everything possible, always striving to help us see all the sights and fully immerse ourselves in every moment, making him a true highlight of our trip.
Our trip continued to Kenya, an extraordinary experience, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Godfrey. His deep knowledge of the landscape and sharp observation skills gave us the best chance to witness rare and breathtaking wildlife encounters.
His ability to read the behavior of the animals made the experience even more memorable. He was always willing to wait for the ideal moment, making sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible wildlife action.
The last part of our safari took us to Tanzania, where we were greeted by our incredible guide, Alfa! From the moment we met him, it was clear that Alfa was a safari expert, and his knowledge of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was unparalleled. He knew the areas like the back of his hand and was able to locate wildlife with ease—spotting animals before other safari vehicles, which gave us an incredible advantage.
He could predict their movements and always positioned us perfectly for the best views. His sharp eye allowed us to see the Big 5, encounters that we might have missed otherwise… While luck plays a role in a safari, it’s the expertise of a guide like Alfa that truly makes all the difference.
We’ll always remember his unwavering enthusiasm, even after countless game drives over the years.
His desire to help us understand the animal kingdom, the culture and the places we visited enriched our experience and gave us a deeper connection to everything we saw.
While all the guides we had throughout our trip truly represented the company at its best, we were also impressed by how the company maintained constant communication with our guides ensuring that everything ran flawlessly.
This attention to detail made us feel reassured and well-supported from start to finish. It was clear that our experience was a top priority, and we genuinely felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire adventure.
If you’re looking for a safari experience that’s not only well-organized but also enriched by passionate, knowledgeable guides who truly care about the wildlife and cultures they show you, we cannot recommend Kubwa Five enough.

Amazing safari with an amazing guide
We spent 5 days in Masai Mara,Unscripted Safaris gave us an amagzing safari.Firstly, Lewis is fantastic. After knowing that I wanted to spend all my time in Maasai Mara, he quickly gave me a lot of advice and helped me choose to stay at Ashnil.
After arriving in Kenya, the biggest surprise came - Teddy, our guide, who has been a guide for 18 years and knows almost all the staff there. Everyone is happy to greet him and tell him where the animals are. He took us to see a cheetah family, wildebeests crossing the river, crocodiles hunting wildebeest, hyena families eating their prey, lion prides sharing a buffalo, and a mother cheetah teaching her cubs to eat an antelope... Everything was fantastic,Teddy is outstanding. Thank you, Teddy, and thank you, Lewis. If you come to Kenya, be sure to choose Teddy as your guide.

There was no question David couldn't answer, his knowledge was amazing.
David, picked me up himself from my hotel on the first day of what turned out to be the best holiday of my life.
I'd booked a 10 day trip and had very high expectation of a holiday that I'd dreamed of for years.
David was happy to explain Africa to me, the country, the people and of course the animals.
He was able spot animals that were hidden to me, and had the patience to wait while I photographed.
When I asked him to change a planned day of touring to try and catch different animals, he didn't bat an eye, and he changed the day to a day of looking for and photographing more varieties birds than I have ever seen and he knew them all.
There was nothing that was too difficult for him.
Thank you David and Togoro Tours for giving me the best holiday ever, I can't wait to get back for another trip with you.

Wonderful Safari trip with apodiformes adventures.
Our Safari trip with apodiformes adventures.
We, 3 adults and 3 children (aged 4, 4 and 6 years), recently had the most incredible safari experience with apodiformes adventures. From start to finish, the entire trip was seamless and exceeded our expectations.
The owner, Silas, was very helpful and accommodating in answering all our questions during the booking and customizing the itinerary to our preferences at a very reasonable price.
We started with a full day sightseeing tour of Nairobi before leaving for a 6 days safari trip.
We stayed at Sopa Lodges in the Masa Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. All hotels were high-end, clean and comfortable with polite and friendly staff.
Our guide and driver, Sebastian, was truly a star. His knowledge of the wildlife and the area was impressive, and he had a knack for spotting the animals. Sebastian was also incredibly patient and friendly, especially with our children who are normally a bit shy. He quickly put them at ease and made them feel comfortable.
We were particularly impressed with Sebastian's ability to tailor the experience to our interests and needs on the way. He also provided us with valuable recommendations for activities and connections in Mombasa, to make the rest of our trip easy and enjoyable.
Overall, we give apodiformes adventures our highest recommendations. If you're looking for a memorable and authentic safari experience, look no further. Silas and Sebastian will make sure you have an unforgettable adventure.

Excellent experience !
I recently went on an unforgettable African safari, and I can confidently say that our guides Arouni and Raymond made the experience truly exceptional.
They were incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. We were fortunate to see the Big Five, and it was clear that he knew exactly where to look and when to go to give us the best chance of sightings.
Would definitely recommend this safari .
