An Unforgettable Safari with an Outstanding Guide
We had an amazing safari experience! Our guide, Zawadi, was exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and was always happy to explain animal behavior, their habitats, and even the local Maasai culture, which made the experience even more meaningful.
Thanks to his expertise and determination, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and many other incredible animals. Throughout the trip, we always felt safe thanks to his careful and professional driving.
A special thanks as well to Neymo, who was very responsive and made the whole booking process smooth and hassle-free.

A perfectly organized trip through regions which very seldomly see tourists
This was not an ordinary safari trip - it was more like an expedition. We traveled through the Central African Republic and the Republic of Congo, with an additional short stint into the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The pre-trip communication with Chalo was always fast and concise. They prepared a very detailed document about the trip itself, with a day-by-day planned itinerary. They made it very clear from the start that this trip is not just another African safari - it will be much more demanding physically, and it can potentially require some changes to the itinerary itself due to eventual obstacles, which can't be predicted in advance. And indeed, there were some minor itinerary improvisations needed, which were handled by Chalo Africa in the most efficient and professional manner.
The whole trip was conducted on the highest professional level. The safety of all the participants was always of paramount importance, and the guides always went out of their way to explain to us the customs and traditions of the local communities which we visited. We were also accompanied by two world-renowned experts in the field of wildlife, so we all learned a lot.
This trip surpassed all my expectations, both in terms of the organization as well as the wildlife seen. I can wholeheartedly recommend Chalo Africa for any more demanding trip to Africa, or to any other part of the world.

An unforgettable safari made even more special by the people behind it.
Our 5-day safari with Antonio Safaris was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. Looking back, we honestly can’t think of anything we would change.
Before the trip, Edna was wonderful to work with. We made a few changes to our itinerary during the planning process, and she was always patient, quick to reply, and happy to help. She answered all of our questions, making everything feel easy and stress-free before we even arrived in Kenya.
Once the safari began, Evans made the trip unforgettable. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. You can immediately tell that guiding isn’t just his job—it’s something he genuinely loves. He was always explaining animal behavior, answering our endless questions, and making sure we had the best possible experience.
One of our favorite memories was watching a lion stand up right in front of us. Evans told us he has his own way of reading lion behavior and suggested we wait a little longer instead of moving on. His patience paid off, and a few minutes later the lion stood up and began walking. It was an unforgettable moment that we’ll never forget.
Evans is also an excellent wildlife photographer. He carries a professional camera with a powerful telephoto lens. Since we didn’t bring a long lens ourselves, he kindly shared many of the incredible photos he had taken during our safari. Having those beautiful close-up shots of the animals means so much to us, and it was such a thoughtful thing to do.
He also never rushed from one place to another. Whenever we came across a breathtaking view—especially during sunset—he would often stop the vehicle and encourage us to get out, take photos, and simply enjoy the scenery. Those quiet moments were just as memorable as seeing the wildlife.
Every destination had something special. Seeing Mount Kilimanjaro rising behind the elephants in Amboseli was absolutely breathtaking and one of those views that photos can hardly do justice. At Lake Naivasha Resort, we even had the chance to watch hippos being fed from the lodge, which was such a unique and unexpected experience.
Another highlight was the accommodation arranged by Antonio Safaris. Every lodge and camp was different, but they all shared one thing in common—they were beautifully integrated into nature. Waking up to birdsong, enjoying breakfast surrounded by stunning landscapes, and spending peaceful evenings listening to the sounds of the African bush made the safari feel immersive even when we weren’t out on game drives. Every place was comfortable, welcoming, and carefully chosen.
The entire trip was smooth, well organized, and thoughtfully planned. Thanks to Evans, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five along with so many other incredible animals, but what we’ll remember most is how personal the experience felt. We never felt like just another group of tourists.
A huge thank you to Edna for all her help before the trip and to Evans for making every day so special. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, we wholeheartedly recommend Antonio Safaris. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
