Great, 100% recommandable
5/5

Amazing safari! Our guide Joseph was very interesting and friendly, and our manager Ally was very responsive and kind. The three parks—Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro—are simply incredible for seeing animals up close 🤩 100% recommended. Can't wait to go on another safari!

Another great trip with SVAI
5/5

This was my second time using SVAI for a Safari trip in East Africa. We went as a family of 11. We were recommended mix of luxury and mid range accommodations to stay within our budget.
Everything was well organised, pick up and transfer from airport to hotels and vice versa. Our Guide on safari was excellent. We saw all the big 5 which was a bonus. We went to Diani beach after and was recommended swahili Beach Resort which was beautiful. Overall great trip amd experience.

Most adventurous safari experience.
5/5

We were four adults of a family. Went on a 5N/6D customised private safari with Kibo Mawenzi. What an experience it turned out be. On the third day, we had heavy rains and flooded rivers blocking our movement. We could not move to the next destination. Steven, our guide and Brian the owner, swiftly made alternate arrangements at a different accommodation. The drive to this place was in the middle of the night with some tense moments. However, Steven with his brilliant off road driving expertise made sure we reached our accommodation without a hitch. We spotted the big 5 in Serengeti, ngorongoro and Tangerine NPs combined plus many more. We also spotted 85 species of birds.

Santaviva is a professionally competent, helpful tour company that goes that extra mile!
5/5

I got into Kisoro looking for a reliable company for the Gorilla trekking and reached out to Ivan as I was staying at rhe Santaviva hotel. The hotel is a great option as it is a clean, budget friendly place.

I am glad to have chosen Santaviva as Ivan organised the trip well and was clear and helpful with his communication. The entire trip was very well organised and Ivan was there to guide me in all aspects from the permits to the tips that made the trek comfortable.

Wonderful safari experience in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks.
5/5

We had a truly wonderful safari experience in Tanzania.
The communication with KLA Adventures was smooth and we were able to easily organize our trip.
On their recommendation, we spent five unforgettable days exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks.
Our driver, Godifrey, was fantastic. He spoke perfect french. He had extensive knowledge of the animals and the parks, and a very reassuring driving style, which was precious on long safari days. He knew exactly where to position and when, always choosing the best spots for wildlife viewing.
Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five and a huge number of other animals in excellent conditions.
The hotels were well-chosen. We particularly recommend staying in Serengeti National Park: hearing the lions roaring at night is an experience in itself.
An intense and memorable adventure that we recommend without hesitation.

The team was responsive, reliable, and paid attention to every detail, making the entire safari smooth and enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured we had the best possible experience throughout.

A perfect farewell
5/5

FIKA Safari skillfully helped us (Lisbeth & Flemming and son Martin & wife Ann) put together a perfect Farewell Safari to mark Lisbeth's 80th birthday and the 40++ years since we left Kenya.
With John Wachira Kariuki as a friendly and very competent driver & guide we visited Mt Kenya, The Ark at Nyeri, Sopa Resort at Lake Naivasha, Karen Blixen Cottages & Garden in Karen, Severin Camp in Tsavo and the gem Waterlovers Beach Resort on Diani Beach.
We also visited our former workplace (with MS/DVS in 1971/72) Limuru Boys Center, which now as a YMCA agricultural school skillfully continues founder Bob Mein's ideals of "Learn to Live"
It was great to see again a completely changed Nairobi and an ever-larger beautiful country, where the middle class has become very visible and with a population we didn't have to say many words in Swahili to before we could joke and laugh together.

Magnificent
5/5

My safari experience with Akira Safari was truly unforgettable and worth every bit of it.

I did a full-day private safari in a Land Cruiser, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The experience felt exclusive, comfortable, and very well planned.

The itinerary included some of the best spots in Nairobi:
• Nairobi National Park – an incredible start to the day, seeing wildlife in their natural habitat with the city skyline in the background.
• David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust – such a heartwarming experience watching and learning about rescued baby elephants.
• Giraffe Centre – getting up close and feeding giraffes was definitely a highlight!
• African Heritage House – a beautiful cultural stop with stunning architecture and rich African history.

The guide was exceptional — knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about wildlife and Kenyan culture. He made sure I didn’t miss anything and shared so many interesting insights along the way.

The wildlife sightings were amazing, the experience felt safe and personalized, and the entire day flowed smoothly without any stress.

For anyone wondering about the cost — it truly reflects the value of a private, well-curated, and premium safari experience. You’re not just paying for transport, but for knowledge, comfort, access, and unforgettable memories.

I would highly recommend Akira Safari to anyone looking for an authentic, seamless, and memorable safari experience in Nairobi. Absolutely worth it!
