The response is quick.
I was quite anxious about choosing a local tour, as it is difficult to determine whether a company is trustworthy. Given the circumstances—and despite the time difference between Japan and Kenya—I chose this company because they were incredibly responsive whenever I reached out and answered my questions immediately. However, the tour didn't use the company's own vehicles; instead, it brought together people who had signed up through various different companies. The members were staying at different hotels, which made the rounds very time-consuming. The driver often failed to arrive on schedule, resulting in a waste of time. Although an ample supply of water was supposed to be provided during the tour, it was not replenished for two days, and requests to have it restocked were ignored. I think the tour itself was fairly ordinary. However, the failure to provide a water supply strikes me as a major oversight. While I assume this was the fault of the subcontractor chosen by the company, it raises the question: what would the experience have been like if they had selected a provider that owned its own vehicles?

Our guide knew exactly what he was doing!
We had the best time with Jockey tours, and specifically our guide Robert. He was very laid back but was here to help us with anything. He was incredibly safari smart, there was no rushing around and we still saw everything we could. He was patient and took his time and we got to see everything without hundreds of land cruisers lining up to see. Thank you very much for one of the best experiences ever!!!

Wonderful Safari Tour operator
We had a wonderful safari in Botswana with Monika our guide from Sekanka Safaris. He was excellent and very skilled at finding the animals. We saw Lions, Leopard, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra, Elephants, Hippos, Warthog, Hyena, Buffalo, Kudu, Impala, Birds, Monkeys, Mongoose & more. It was the most amazing experience and a very professionally run tour for our family group of six. The cook was excellent and the meals were delicious, catering for both conventional appetites and vegetarians. The camp staff were very attentive and friendly, a great mid range camping experience. We thoroughly recommend this tour operator.

Highly Recommend Cost Effective Operator
We travelled as a group of four friends on an 8‑day custom private safari organised by Super Eagles, and the whole experience exceeded every single one of our expectations.
From the very start, communication with Brian, their customer service, was absolutely seamless. He quickly understood our travel preferences, answered all our questions thoughtfully, and tailored a full‑fledged itinerary perfectly for us. All discussions regarding the detailed schedule and accommodation were clear and efficient. On top of that, we were offered a fantastic value‑for‑money rate, so we secured our trip with a deposit right away.
We cannot speak highly enough of Charles, our dedicated driver‑guide. He showed up extremely early for our airport pick‑up on day one. Throughout the entire safari, he maintained a wonderful, welcoming attitude and was always responsive to our requests, doing his utmost to accommodate us whenever we needed anything. Charles is an incredibly skilled driver with deep local knowledge of every track and road condition across the national parks. Whenever other safari vehicles shared sightings of cheetahs or lions over the radio, Charles would swiftly navigate us to the ideal viewing position, giving us brilliant photo opportunities. Thanks to him, we spotted the complete Big Five, and were lucky enough to have an up‑close encounter with a rare black rhino and its calf — this was definitely the highlight of our journey.
He is also tremendously knowledgeable about wildlife. Along each game drive, he shared countless fascinating facts about animal behaviours, ecosystem dynamics and local wildlife conservation, enriching our safari experience greatly. On our final day, he got up exceptionally early to transfer us from Amboseli all the way to Nairobi airport, making sure we reached our flight safely and on time.
The Toyota Land Cruiser provided by Super Eagles was in excellent condition. It came fitted with brand‑new tyres plus two spare tyres, and we encountered zero mechanical issues during the whole trip. Charles kept the vehicle neat and tidy, regularly cleaning and organising it for our comfort after long days out on safari. The car was well‑maintained, spacious and comfortable, perfect for long hours of game viewing.
Every step of our custom‑planned trip ran smoothly. From booking, accommodation arrangements, park transfers to airport drop‑off, everything was well‑co‑ordinated. If you are planning a private safari in Kenya, Super Eagles is unquestionably a reliable operator. We wholeheartedly recommend their service, and would happily book with them again for future adventures!

Overall good
Overall the experience for good, just that the first and second night tent could be better. The hot shower is full of metal smell and they have cut of time for using the electric power.

Highly recommend for an amazing safari
We went on a 5 day safari with Kiliclimb around mid-August and it was the most amazing experience! Janeth, our tour consultant, was great and helped answer a lot of questions, and provided us with options as we settled on the final itinerary. She checked in with us during the safari and made sure we were comfortable. The safari was awesome! Our guide, Bakari, was excellent, and took great care of us during the safari as well as beyond. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and it was wonderful to have him as our guide. We highly recommend Bakari! We saw the big 5, and were lucky enough to witness a wildebeest river crossing during the migration! Our stays were great and we had tasty packed lunch. A very memorable trip!

Lion King adventures is an exceptional safari tour operator with professional staff.
We recently returned from the most amazing 7 day Serengeti great migration safari with our 9 year old son. Lion King Adventures exceeded all of our expectations and made the entire experience an adventure we will never forget. From the initial planning conversations, to the airport transportation, to the actual safari, everything was communicated and organized professionally. Each day was a new adventure and we couldn’t wait for our game drives, exploring new sites, and seeing what the next accommodation would have in store for our us. We travel several times each year as a family and this was by far the most moving experience yet. What really made this trip special was our guide Joseph. He was incredibly professional, caring, knowledgeable of the local cultures and wildlife, and one of the most skilled Serengeti drivers you will find! By the end of the week we had memories that will last us a lifetime and it was incredibly hard to say goodbye to Joseph and our daily Serenegti adventures. If you’re looking to have a once in a lifetime experience in the Serengeti, we highly recommend Lion King Adventures and hope you are as fortunate as we were to have Joseph as our guide.

Guided by professionals like Saeed who combine skill, knowledge, and real attention to your journey.
Our safari game drive in Tanzania exceeded every expectation, and so much of that credit goes to the expertise and dedication of our guide, Saeed. From the moment we set out, it was clear we were in capable hands. Saeed is professional and genuinely intelligent, the kind of guide who combines deep knowledge about wildlife behavior and local ecology with an intuitive sense of where animals will be and how to position us for the best views. In a landscape crowded with jeeps all chasing the same sightings, this skill made a real difference.
He was constantly observing, listening, and anticipating our needs, never making us feel rushed or overlooked. More than just pointing out animals, he shared the wealth of knowledge he has about their behavior, ecology, and the local culture, turning each sighting into a genuine learning experience. One moment that will stay with us forever: thanks to Saeed's keen eye and positioning, we witnessed a cheetah making a kill in real time. These are the moments that define a safari, and they don't happen by accident. Your guide is absolutely the heart of a safari experience, and Saeed was undoubtedly a highlight of our trip.
Behind the scenes, Annie's coordination was equally impressive. She chose accommodation that was special in its own way at each stop, thoughtfully selected places that enhanced the overall experience. The itinerary was well planned. When we encountered issues along the way, Annie made us feel genuinely supported and prioritized solving them.
We'd enthusiastically recommend Saeed as your guide!

A Memorable Safari
Rafiki Tembo organized a memorable Safari for my family of 13. Lowassa was available every step of the way and was open to my suggestions and modifications. Our Guides, Deo and Athuman (aka Simba) were very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with throughout the Safari. I am grateful to the entire Rafiki Tembo Team for an outstanding experience.
