Excellent once in a lifetime experience
It was a super great experience; more than what I thought I will experience. Food, ambience and wildlife - super nice.
Dedicated
Would give 6 stars if possible! The Khalanga team and Shoes made our trip extremely smooth and memorable. I have to highlight how helpful and responsive the team is - they are extraordinarily flexible and truly care about your experience. They treated us like family and were truly invested in making our trip as amazing as possible.

Trip cancelled with just 2 weeks notice. Still awaiting full refund
After 3 months, reluctantly, I feel I have no choice to post this review about my experience with Ngala Wilderness.
Last April, I booked and paid in full for a 2-week, photography based, trip with Ngala Wilderness at their base in South Africa, commencing 18th October 2025.
Two weeks before I was due to go, I received an email notice of cancellation, the reason being that the other 3 participants had cancelled, and it was no longer viable to run anymore.
Whilst I was hugely disappointed and had to quickly find an alternative trip, I was promised a full refund, which being Ngala’s decision to cancel my trip, you would naturally expect.
After 6 weeks (and much hassle), I received a part payment in mid-November – about 45% of the value of the trip. I am still waiting for the balance. And this is despite ongoing and protracted communications with the Director of Ngala Wilderness and promise of settlement.
I have spent a huge amount of time exchanging emails and WhatsApp messages with their Director. A lot of unsubstantiated reasons why I was not being fully refunded. Paypal being an easy option for them.
I feel I have been incredibly patient but it’s been over 3 months - it’s now January 20th 2026. It is totally unacceptable to withhold my refund for this trip.
I ca provide complete proof and documentation of my statement above.

Amazing tour guide and all round excellent experience.
We joined a group safari of four with Boost Safaris Kenya to explore Samburu and Shaba National Reserves, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The landscapes were stunning — from the rugged Samburu terrain to the serene Shaba plains — and we were lucky to spot rare species like the Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe. Our guide was not only professional but also fun and full of interesting stories about the wildlife and local culture. Everything, from the lodge accommodations to the meals and transport, was well-coordinated. Boost Safaris made our trip smooth, exciting, and memorable. Definitely a company we’d recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Kenyan adventure!

Amazing safari with Humphrey
We had a great 4 day safari with our guide Humphrey! We were doing a safari in a very nice group of 7 people. We camped in the middle of Serengeti park, which was really exciting. The food was absolutely amazing and well organized. The communication with Humphrey was really good: in the evening we discussed the plan for the next day and he was very knowledgable and gave us a lot of information about the parks and the animals. Also, this safari is very good value for money.

Simply the best!
We did a 15-day safari through Kenya’s main national parks with Willy, and it was truly a wonderful journey. Willy is an excellent driver and guide. In addition to his deep knowledge of the parks, roads, and wildlife, he knows everyone who works in the parks and hotels throughout the country, which makes a real difference to the experience.
After our trip, we recommended him to all our friends, and two of them have already done their own safaris with him — and they were absolutely delighted as well.
I honestly don’t know a better way to discover Kenya than doing it with Willy Mundia.
