Great destinations, a lot of waiting with little communication
The tour got us where we wanted to go, there were several times where we were asked to wait, tour guide disappeared for long periods of time without providing us information as to what we could do in this time (for example explore) accommodation had been changed and we only discovered this upon arrival at the accommodation. Despite booking a triple share tour this had not been prepared at each location. The vehicle itself left a fair bit to be desired and let us down. There were frustrations which we discussed with the tour guide as they arose. We seen what we set out to see so for that we are grateful. However I don’t believe we really got value for money given the time wasted and missed opportunities as a result. I wouldn’t be opposed to booking with Karumuna again however I would require clearer confirmation on what we should expect.

Kasanka National Park
We camped at Kasanka for three nights. Although the bat experience was amazing, the admin side from Wasa was awful. They had tripled booked our campsite, the prices were different from what we were quoted when we arrived. The transport for the bat viewing were also an issue. However, the campsite was beautiful, the ablutions were clean and the scenery and bats were amazing. We did have a brilliant guide too - Simon.
We did the David Livingstone Memorial and was so so worth it! A great educational experience, clean and neat and perfect for a picnic! It’s about 7kms from Kasanka on tar and then an additional 25kms on a dirt road that is absolutely perfect!

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Frank
We have seen just one elefant and a few other animals. Bird watching was better. Scenery at the lake side nice. Djungle forest beautiful.

Review about Kruger National Park by María Paz Venegas
We saw less animals comparing to Tanzania Parks, we have been in november and are too many bushes, the animals hide better.

Disappointing
Very dry landscape, very little wildlife. Some lions, leopards and wild dogs. Almost no herbivores. I do not recommend reserving at the end of the dry season for this reason.

The park is smaller and don't see animals closer and didn't see thousands of flamingos

Freddy was very informative and accommodating but not that flexible when it came to schedules.
I enjoyed my time at the Masai. The place was breathtaking, animals everywhere (we saw more than 20 lions!) and the hotel was spectacular! But I wouldn’t say it was a great value for money for various reasons. We had to skip lunch the first day because the restaurant we stopped at ran out of food. I was promised water but didn’t receive any until the last day. There was also an activity that I had to give up since the driver said it was optional and wasn’t paid for then later found out that it was paid for but it was too late to go. And it was supposed to be a 3 day safari when actually it was just a day and a half. I would recommend checking what time the park is actually open and confirming the schedule for when you will go for a game drive before booking.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by Mary Harvey
Nice but animal population sparse. Some good birds here.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Mary Harvey
Not a lot to see here. Very expensive boat trip, $50 each which only lasted an hour and didn't see many animals! A better lake was Naivasha which had a great variety of birds on the lake and animals in the park. The best place to see black and white Rhinos and an abundance of flamingos. Weren't taken to the actual park.

Expensive and unjustified
The price compared to competitors was expensive. The accommodation is mediocre (there was no hot water some nights) and the food is mediocre.
