Five stars entirely for Bakari—the best guide in Tanzania!
Bakari is the best guide in Tanzania! With 16 years of guiding experience, he is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and caring. Everything was well planned, he was always punctual, and he kept every promise. We felt completely at ease in his hands.
We visited in early October, outside the peak migration season, yet Bakari helped us witness three wildebeest river crossings in a single day—an unforgettable experience! His driving skills are excellent. Even on days when he drove for 10–11 hours, he never complained and always remained patient and attentive. He even helped us take photos along the way.
What makes Bakari truly special is his warmth. He looked after us like family, and traveling with him felt like having a kind, dependable uncle by our side.
However, our experience with their partner guide from Mufasa in Kenya was very disappointing. We found that guide extremely unreliable, and this resulted in our planned two-day Amboseli itinerary being reduced to just one day of safari. To be absolutely clear, my five-star rating is 100% for Bakari and the outstanding experience he gave us in Tanzania.
I will definitely return to Tanzania, and when I do, I will choose Bakari again. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

The best experience
Our experience was excellent! The hotels we stayed at were beautiful, with meals included and excellent service. This was especially true in the Serengeti, where we had the opportunity to stay inside the park, surrounded by animals at night. However, we always felt safe, as the staff kept watch over the area.
Our guides, Abel and Babu, were the highlight of our trip! They taught us about their culture and language with great kindness, patience, and a wonderful sense of humor.
Transportation between the airport, hotels, and parks was very efficient and punctual, but also flexible whenever needed, which is another point in favor of the guides!
Communication with the company was excellent and prompt whenever we had questions. We compared prices with other companies, and this one definitely offers outstanding value for money.
We highly recommend them!

The best Your Guide ever in the world
An unforgettable experience in the Masai Mara with Castro!
Going on this Masai Mara safari with our guide, Castro, was simply fantastic from start to finish! His expertise, patience, and knowledge of the reserve and animal behavior made all the difference in our trip.
Thanks to his professionalism and his keen eye for spotting wildlife, we achieved the ultimate goal: seeing all of the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino)! Furthermore, Castro was always attentive to detail, shared a wealth of information about the local wildlife and culture, and ensured we always felt safe and comfortable.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya and want a perfect, memorable experience, look no further: Castro is the right guide. I recommend him wholeheartedly!

The best
I had an incredible safari experience in Kenya, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Castro! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. He made the entire experience unforgettable.
Castro went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible safari experience. He was patient, answered all our questions, and made every moment enjoyable. His knowledge of the animals and the surrounding environment was impressive, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Castro was also a great person to spend time with. He was easygoing, funny, and made the whole adventure even more memorable.

A Seamless Safari Experience from Start to Finish
We had a safari tour in Amboseli, and overall, we were very satisfied with the experience.
First of all, we were in contact with Silas from Rocktrek regarding the booking and schedule. He was always polite and clear in his communication, which made the whole process very comfortable from the beginning.
We especially appreciated how much he helped with our border crossing from Kenya to Tanzania. We initially thought we would simply be dropped off at the border, but he went beyond that and helped make sure we were properly handed over to the local taxi driver. He had already contacted the taxi driver in advance and took care of the process, so we were able to cross the border without worrying about the transportation afterward.
Our guide, Linus, was also very kind and professional. He was a good and safe driver, and he knew a lot about the animals, so he gave us many interesting explanations during the safari. He was also punctual and always tried his best to show us as many animals as possible.
We especially appreciated that he waited for us while we completed the exit and entry procedures at the border and made sure we were safely handed over to the taxi driver afterward. We were really touched by how carefully he took care of us until the very end.
Overall, we were very satisfied with the entire experience, from the booking process to the safari and the border transfer. Thank you for making our trip such a good experience!
