5 star service
I engaged this company directly on their social media so as to book a safari for me and my siblings. Their response was fast and i received a very detailed itinerary that really captured alot of information requiring minimal explanation. I booked the 3 Day Trip to Amboseli and we really liked how detailed the tour Guide ‘Mr. Martin’ gave us a brief before hand and during the safari. We loved Amboseli and the wildlife there and one of the reasons we really did so was because of how Esther planned our travel plan and how Mr. Martin executed it. The trip was value for our money for we stayed at a really great mid range camp that they chose for us, and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend this company for short and even long safaris, they are organized.

Skilled and pleasent guidance
Two and a half days of great experiences and really comfortable driving on both roads and off road. The guide George was skilled at maneuvering the car so we had good opportunities to experience and not least photograph the wildlife. Can definitely be recommended.

Wonderful experience
Fantastic experience. Our guide Simon was knowledgeable and helpful and so fun. Made the experience great for our family. We spotted so many animals and the accommodations were wonderful. Beautiful settings and tent rooms and dining buffets. We had a memorable trip. Our teens were excited to see new animals daily and learn more about the Masai culture and Kenya. Food was tasty, beds were comfortable, and our guide made it amazing. Thank you to the Imara team who helped us organized our trip and stay. They responded quickly to our requests and questions and planned our days well. Wish we had had more time. We are sad to leave Kenya and will be back! Thank you Imara team!

Wonderful safari experience!
This safari has been nothing short of epic. When looking for a safari, Cate was very thorough - understood what we were looking for, asked good questions, understood our budget, and made us comfortable throughout the entire process.
Once in Kenya, all of the details were well thought through - every ride, every meal, and we were able to truly maximize the limited time and budget that we had. We were able to experience so much, and our guide Simon answered every question we had, guided us safely through the different terrain and Kenyan traffic, and made sure everything was done to ensure that we experienced as many different animals as possible from several wonderful vantage points. We felt cared for though the whole process and appreciate Imara Africa for everything they did to make this safari a memorable, once in a lifetime experience!

Brian has excellent person to person skills, has excellent knowledge on birds, driving and Uganda.
The 3 day Gorilla trekking trip is excellent value for money. It was very easy communicating from Cape Town SA with Dickson from H of Africa. All the necessary information was provided. They also assisted with accommodation in Entebbe before the start. The guide Brian was a pleasure to have as our driver and guide to Bwindi forest and back. The two stays before and after the gorilla trek was an excellent choice. Gorilla in Mist lodge and Heritage lodge on an island in lake Bunyonyi. They know the system and are excellent in advising one in which level of trek to gorillas to choose on the day. One is guaranteed sightings with their expertise. Will definately recommend Hooves of Africa to family and friends. Lucille from Cape Town
Thanks again Dickson and Brian

Very well organized and worth the price. Highly recommend use this operator!
My guide was Luther for the 5 day safari and he made the experience so much better. Always tried his best to give us the best view of the animals as close as possible. He had a-lot of knowledge of all the parks and every animal living in it. So along with the unforgettable experience I also learned alot. 10/10

Esther Made Our Dream Safari Come True
From the very first contact, Esther was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to creating the perfect safari for our family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and she was always happy to answer our questions and adjust the itinerary to our wishes.
The safari itself exceeded all our expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, from the accommodations and transfers to our outstanding guide Nick

The service was exceptional, the tour was reliable, and we felt we received excellent value for money. Thanks to Esther and her team, we created memories that will last a lifetime.
I highly recommend booking your safari with Esther. You will be in great hands from start to finish.

An unforgettable family safari in Kenya
Our experience with Bushtop Kenya Safaris was excellent from beginning to end.
1. Initial correspondence with Denis
From our very first contact, the organization was perfect. Denis was always quick to reply, answered all our questions clearly and helped us organize every detail of the trip. The quotation and itinerary were well prepared, making the planning process easy and giving us confidence before the trip even started.
2. Our Spanish-speaking guide – Joshua
Joshua was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our safari. His kindness, professionalism, friendliness and deep knowledge of the wildlife and the environment made every game drive special. He was always attentive to us and shared his passion for nature throughout the trip. Thanks to his experience, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five in just 4 days and 3 nights. A big hug to Joshua – he is simply the best!
3. The hotels
Both lodges exceeded our expectations. Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge at Lake Nakuru and Sarova Mara Game Camp in the Masai Mara were wonderful. The staff at both properties were incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive to every detail, making us feel at home throughout our stay.
4. Overall recommendation
The safari itself was incredible. Experiencing first the wildlife around Lake Nakuru and then the vast plains of the Masai Mara provided two very different and complementary safari experiences. The contrast between the lake ecosystem and the savannah made the journey even more memorable.
Finally, we believe the price was fair. A safari is not an inexpensive experience, but we truly feel that we received everything we paid for.
Thank you very much to Bushtop Kenya Safaris for making this such a wonderful family experience.

My name is Paula , and I'm from Chile 🇨🇱.
I traveled to Tanzania on my own, and the best days of my trip were the safaris guided by Fidelis. The group we formed, with him and the rest of us travelers, was so much fun. We became very close, everyone was friendly, and we laughed a lot together.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and I recommend this company to everyone who asks me about my trip. Fidelis was an amazing guide: fun, motivating, and always willing to teach us. It gave us so much confidence to see how well he knew the parks, the routes, and everything needed to make our experience comfortable and enjoyable.
What we experienced was a lifelong dream of mine, and I'm so grateful to the team for making it come true and exceeding all my expectations.
If you can, ask for Fidelis as your guide! You won't regret it. 😊
