Professional, knowledgeable, wildlife expert
After initial consultation John put together a preliminary safari plan. Very little adjustments were needed to the plan as John had listened carefully during consultation and was able to manifest my safari dreams into reality.

John – The best safari guide you could wish for!
We were incredibly fortunate to have John as our guide for our 4-day safari during our honeymoon in Tanzania. From the very beginning, John was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always made sure to fulfill all of our wishes. He was very experienced and could always provide us with exciting and detailed information about the wildlife and nature. Thanks to his expertise, we had unforgettable moments – from hunting scenes to relaxed animal herds in their natural environment. We were particularly impressed by the many young animals we were able to observe up close.
John not only managed to show us all the beauty of the wilderness but also made sure we had a lot of fun and shared many enjoyable moments together. Our lunches in the middle of the wilderness were true highlights!
We can warmly recommend John – he made our safari an unforgettable experience!

Aruni & Raymond are the best tour guides!
From start to finish Aruni and Raymond were so welcoming and obliging. They gave great explanations and answered all the questions we had about the grasslands and different animals. They carried our bags and gave us advice when we went into any shops or restaurants. For our group of 10, it was the perfect trip! We would definitely recommend them as our tour guides and the tour company itself!

Unforgettable Uganda Safari Adventure.
I recently returned from an incredible 5-days safari with Semu Gorilla Safaris, exploring Murchison Falls and Kibale National Parks. Our expert guide Jimmy, ensured a seamless experience.
Murchison Falls’ stunning scenery and diverse wildlife exceeded expectations. The Nile River boat cruise was a highlight!
Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale was breathtaking - witnessing these intelligent creatures up close.
Accommodations were comfortable with excellent foods.
Semu Gorilla Safaris’ attentions to detail, knowledge, and passion made this trip unforgettable.
Highly recommended!

A safari with Makasa is an unforgettable experience!
At the end of September/beginning of October we had a great trip to Tanzania! A 10-day safari along the Masai and the beautiful parks Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater and the Serengeti. And then another 5 days of afterglow on Zanzibar.
We came across Makasa via Instagram and their offer immediately appealed to us; private safari with your own guide, a mix of lodges and tented camps, luxury and also back to basic with the sounds of lions and hyenas around your tent, the real safari feeling. No massive accommodations.
Anne helped us put together our program, the contact went very well, always a quick response and we could ask all our questions. There was a lot of emailing back and forth, but nothing was too much. We also spoke to her once via a Teams meeting, that was also very nice.
You have a lot of freedom in putting together your trip, there is no fixed program, you can organize it as you want.
On site, Selma is very accessible for questions if necessary, which gives a good feeling.
And what we found most special was our fantastic guide Jacob. You are on the road together in the jeep all day for 10 days, so that is quite decisive for the experience of your trip, that really makes the difference. You notice that Makasa really pays attention to the quality of the guide. Jacob has so much knowledge about the animals and nature that he shared with us.
It was a very special trip! Thank you Makasa and Jacob!

Great experience with Serengeti Clarity and our guide Kelvin! 10 out of 10!
My wife and I went on a 7-days / 6 nights private safari tour with Serengeti Clarity and Kelvin, our guide, in September 2024.
Overall, everything was above our expectations. The communication with Frank from Serengeti Clarity was very easy with prompt and very clear replies.
Additionally, Frank was able to adjust the itinerary based on any suggestion that we provided (places to see, accommodation, flying directly out of Serengeti to Zanzibar) and obviously he provided recommendations based on his experience.
With regards to the safari tour itself, we were very happy with our guide, Kelvin. He is very experienced and more importantly, he goes out of his way to make the experience an outstanding one. He keeps on trying to find the best spots and moments to have the best animal and wildlife watching. Kelvin accommodates all requests and coordinates with you the daily itinerary.
Furthermore, he arrange very nice lunches every day while being "on tour".
Overall, we can only recommend Kelvin and Serengeti Clarity. We had an awesome time and would love to plan our next safari again with them.

THE BEST SAFARI!!
I recently had the most incredible Safari experience in Kenya, and it was all thanks to Brian, our amazing guide! From start to finish, he made sure every moment was unforgettable. His knowledge of the wildlife and the area was impressive, and he went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we hoped for and more. Brian’s enthusiasm and passion for what he does truly made the trip special. I highly recommend this safari to anyone, and if you’re lucky enough to get Brian as your guide, you’re in for the best experience ever!

Denhum Holidays took thousands of $$ in advance payment for a Safari and didn't show up.
We booked a 9 day 8 night safari with Denhum, and per the terms of their contract paid 50% in advance at booking and the remaining 50% two months prior to the trip. The week prior to travel, Denhum Owner, Dan Karikui, informed us that a Denhum representative would meet us at the Nairobi airport upon arrival to provide details of our safari, which was due to commence 2.5 days later. No one from Denhum met us as at the airport so we attempted to call Denhum's phone number with no success; so at 1:00 am we found ourselves to fend for ourselves in a foreign country. For the next 2 days we tried every means possible to reach a Denhum representative: phone calls, text messages, WhatsApp calls and messages, e-mail, and FB messenger. Their phone numbers seemed to be turned off and our e-mail and text messages were not responded to. We waited in the hotel lobby from 7:00 AM to Noon on the morning of the scheduled pickup by the safari driver at our hotel, and nobody from Denhum showed up. This confirmed our fear that we had been defrauded by Denhum Holidays. We have been scammed out of several thousand dollars for what was to be the trip of a lifetime for my husband and I to celebrate 20 years of marriage. I hope this review helps others from becoming their next victim.
