An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Beyond Our Wildest Dreams! 🦁🐘🐆
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience in the Maasai Mara, thanks to our amazing driver and guide, Castro!
Castro went above and beyond to help us spot as many animals as possible. Thanks to his dedication and sharp eyes, we were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including elusive cheetahs and leopards, as well as adorable lion cubs!
He was also extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the different animals and birds in detail, even referring to a wildlife guidebook to help us learn more about what we were seeing.
Castro did everything he could to make all our wishes come true. Every experience we had hoped for became a reality, and the entire safari turned out to be even more magical than we had ever imagined.
This was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives, and we are so grateful to Castro for making it so special.
We would absolutely love to visit the Maasai Mara again someday!
Thank you so much, Castro, for making our dream safari come true🙌

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Amazing Team!
An unforgettable safari experience! 🐘🦁🌍
I can’t recommend this company enough! From beginning to end, everything was absolutely amazing, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations!
Careen was incredible! Super professional, kind, attentive, and always available to answer our questions. Her communication was excellent, with quick responses and great attention to every detail. She made the entire process so easy and stress-free!
And Daniel, our safari guide, was simply THE BEST! His knowledge, passion, patience, and dedication made our safari truly unforgettable. He was always happy to accommodate our wishes, incredibly flexible, and genuinely committed to making sure we had the best possible experience.
If there’s an animal you’re dreaming of seeing, Daniel will do everything in his power to find it! He never gives up and makes every game drive feel like a new adventure. You can really tell he loves what he does, and that makes such a difference!
What I appreciated the most was how much they genuinely cared about our experience. Everything felt personalized, and we always felt comfortable, safe, and well taken care of.
A huge thank you to Careen and Daniel for making this trip so special! You truly made our safari a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would book with you again in a heartbeat!
1000% recommended! ❤️🐆✨

A Reliable and Excellent Organizer
The safari was great and I really enjoyed it. Planning and organization was done professionally from beginning to end. Friendly driver and guide who is knowledgeable, great vehicle, well serviced and clean. I would still choose Family Leisure again for my future safaris.

Amazing safari!
The safari was fantastic. Well organised, the transport to get there was efficient with good rest stops. The camp accommodation was basic but comfortable and everything we needed.
Castro was brilliant at ensuring we had a good position to see the animals, we saw all of the Big 5 and the Ugly 5 and a cheetah too!! He was polite and funny, a great guide.

Excellent safari with Castro
This was my very first visit to Kenya and Africa, and the safari was truly a dream come true! After several incredibly busy and exhausting months, I had been looking forward to this adventure so much, and it exceeded all my expectations!
A very special thank you to Castro, our wonderful driver and guide! ❤️ He was absolutely fantastic, doing everything he could to help us see the incredible wildlife, including the elusive cheetahs and the Big Five. His knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm made every moment special.
Castro is also an exceptionally safe and skilled driver. I often suffer from motion sickness, but amazingly, I didn’t experience it at all! He was always punctual, organised, thoughtful and attentive to everyone’s needs.
The entire experience was beautifully organised, and I couldn’t have wished for a better introduction to Africa. Every moment was unforgettable, and I will treasure these memories for years to come.
Thank you so much, Castro and Perfect Safaris Africa, for making my African dream come true! I would absolutely love to return one day and would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kenya! ❤️

Truly amazing
What an amazing experience from beginning to end. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the airport where our driver handed us over to airport staff who took us to our plane. When we arrived in Selous, Tiko our safari guide was there waiting for us. What a lovely man he turned out to be. The experience he provided for me and my husband was without doubt the best experience of my life.
We saw more amazing animals than I thought possible. We saw all four of the big five that live in this part of Tanzania. We watched a pride of lions sleeping under a tree, herds of elephants up close, buffaloes. And even a leopard resting in a tree. As well as lots of giraffes, zebras, warthogs, wildebeest, kudo, and so much more.
Tiko’s knowledge is amazing and we learned so much. Tiko has studied the ecology and animals academically and from years of experience in the bush. He knew everything about the symbiotic relationship between species of animals and plants which helped bring the experience to life for us.
We stopped for a breakfast picnic in front of a natural pool with wallowing hippos and crocodiles and a delicious lunch next to a 3000 year old baobab tree. All the time laughing, joking, sharing stories and having fun with the lovely Tiko. At the end of a full 11 hour amazing safari we watched the sunset over the savanna with a cold beer. Then Tiko took us to our amazing safari lodge, the food was delicious, the staff friendly and helpful and the huts beautiful, traditional, spacious and comfortable.
In the morning Tiko picked us up and took us to meet a Masai tracker and a bushman who took us on a walking safari which was brilliant fun, we saw some of the smaller animals including bush pigs, elephant shrew, and lion ants and another herd of elephants. We learned lots of other interesting things about the behaviours and diets of the animals and the bushman was very funny. We also did a boat safari that we also loved, especially the beautiful water birds.
When we came back to the lodge for lunch we found a table especially decorated for us as it was our honeymoon. We had told Tiko about our wedding and that we had left the party early to come on our honeymoon and he couldn’t believe that we hadn’t had a cake. When we finished lunch, Tiko and lots of the hotel staff came and sang and danced for us with a beautiful wedding cake all organised by the brilliant Tiko. Just perfect. Such a lovely thing to do for us.
When we got to the airport we discovered that our plane had been cancelled due to a mechanical issue. Just one of those things that can happen. Some of the passengers had to stay another night to get a flight the next morning but Tiko managed to get us home that day. Me on one plane and my husband a couple of hours later on another plane. Tiko stayed with my husband the whole time and made sure he got back to Zanzibar to be with me, even organising the taxi at Zanzibar airport. Thank goodness for Tiko.
From beginning to end our experience with Jacob and Smile with us was first class. All the communication was timely and helpful. Booking and payment was handled perfectly and nothing was too much trouble.
I highly recommend Smile with us for your safari experience and the amazing Tiko especially as your guide. Thank you to the whole team for giving us the experience of a lifetime

They were very professional and kind
went on a trip to Tanzania with a friend, where we did a 3-day safari and a 4-day hike up Mount Meru with Ekarua Wild Safari. The team at Ekarua took care of everything. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off again at the end. For our tours, Ekarua Wild provided us with an outstanding team. All the crew members were friendly, professional, and always there to help with any question or issue. Last but not least, Ekarua Wild is very fairly and competitively priced.
We can definitely recommend our adventure and Ekarua Wild!"

Great service and customer support
Dunas Safari Tours know how to ensure that your safari experience is perfect. From picking up at the airport to reviewing your itinerary they make sure you are well taken care. Both Pedro and Andrew go out of their way. The lodges and extra activities were superb. Andrew followed up with us on a regular basis to make sure all was well. Their experience and knowledge of Namibia makes their safaris the best.

Flawless organization by Puma Reisen – Careen and Daniel made our safari unforgettable!
We are so glad we chose a professional agency like Pumba Reisen instead of traveling independently. Everything was organized perfectly. Careen was fantastic to work with; she is super fast to reply, customizes the trip to your exact needs, and resolves any minor issues right away.
Our guide, Daniel, made the experience even better. He was outstanding, showing us all the animals we hoped to see and always finding the best vantage points for us. He shared incredible information about the park and wildlife, and was always attentive and helpful. A flawless, highly professional, and unforgettable adventure!
