Awesome arrangements with a personal touch
Lilian and team made our arrangements for a family vacation to Tsavo and Mara. The team took care of all details and made our stay memorable. All details related to travel and accommodation were well thought out and organized. Thanks you Lilian till our next trip to Africa.

Well organized trip with friendly driver and friendly office staff.
Communication was excellent. Planning of the safari was easy. Money transfer however not very smooth.
Service during safari was excellent. Itinerary could have been improved. Visit to Pian Upe was not rewarding. Accommodation was good.
Tyres of car were old leading to flat tyres.
Wildlife sighting was good, Guide gave good explanations especially on birds.

3-day safari in Masai Mara fantastic, day trips in Nairobi bit disappointing.
We booked our trips with BB Safaris on arrival in Nairobi. Our day trips in Nairobi to the elephant orphanage and giraffe centre were good and well worth the visit but the 1-day safari to Nairobi National Park was disappointing with a 'driver' rather than a 'guide'. Our 4 hour schedule was reduced to 3 hours with an unplanned, and quite frankly, unwanted visit to a snake centre. I didn't enjoy the day which is why I've scored 4 instead of 5.
However, our 3-day trip to the Masai Mara was outstanding! This was mainly through our guide (Patrick) being so expert in knowing where to find the animals and getting us the most amazing sights of animals in their natural habitat and family scenes unfolding in front of us as we watched enthralled. I am still buzzing from the experience!!
For a budget safari we felt we had a fantastic trip that was worth the money.

Enjoyable vacation
I went with my Family to hiking/ trekking trip with Lakeside tours. we had a trekking to Rwenzori mountain , cycling on the crater lake, game drives, lake tours , Chimps and Gorilla trekking. We enjoyed the trip , they accommodated our changes to the original plan, our guide Bonny was so so helpful and supportive. he managed all the changes we asked for during the whole trip - change in accomodation, change in trip starting time to suite us after long Journeys, changes in lunches and dinners - even during the trip itself he would bring all needed water , fruits and juices.
the bad side were the Car which was very slow and aircon was not working , due to this fact - as well as the bad roads conditions- we spend longer time travelling from place to place . The choices of hotels were not the best , we had to change the hotels twice , last one we refused to get in the hotel, and we had to search for alternative at midnight. at the end they provided us with the accomodation we asked for.
Unique desert and coastal scenery.
The desert scenery throughout Namibia was quite spectacular, although at times it looked just like we were in the Australian outback. The weather was quite pleasant, with the exception of sesriem where it got to 48 degrees Celsius during the day but otherwise we barely saw any clouds the whole 10 days we spent there. The standard of accommodation and food exceeded our expectations in most cases, especially at the luxury desert inn at Sesriem. Having the ability to drive ourselves at our own pace was good as we were able to stop at various interesting sites along the way.

Intesting safari tour in the south of Tanzania during the rainy season
The itinerary of the tour is very good; well filled with a lot of variation. The driver / guide only joined us during day time (not at breakfast, not at diner) and did not talk too much. This way, our privacy was respected and we highly appreciated this behavior. Price / quality ratio of the offered tour is ok. Organization and driver both appeared flexible. Selected lodges were nice.
The jeep was good and comfortable but was not sufficiently equipped with tools needed to repair the car (inappropriate jack, no towline, torch etc.), this can be improved. The traffic in Tanzania is very slow; commuting from one location to the other takes a lot of time. It would be appreciated if the amount of commuting can be minimized / optimized. The driver could drive faster were permitted.

Mwajabu gave me an exceptional safari experience.
The safari tour was well organised and punctual. I would recommend this safari tour to anyone. Mwajabu and her son helped me a lot with organisation and they are very trustworthy people. Anything you are unsure of they are more than happy to help.

Amazing!
We went to Kenya specifically for safari on the Masai Mara. I wouldn't recommend anyone spend time in Nairobi except to see the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Sanctuary. The selection of wildlife on the Mara wasout of this world, we had a fantastic driver who knew exactly where to go and we saw the big 5 all within the first 2 days. Good choice of accommodation also, we went mid-range and felt like it was luxury!
