Very customer orientated.
The tour operator was very customer orientated, and maintained a high level of communication during the booking and travel process. We visited several different parks and had an exceptional tour guide who offered extensive knowledge of the various areas. The balloon safari is a must. Route planning could have been better as one park (Nakura) is very far from others and made for a long day of driving across county.

An Epic Experience to a wonderful adventure
Let me begin by saying Paul the CEO was amazing in putting our trip together. The Hotels were an amazing experience themselves. We arrived in the beginning in Moshi to see the Meteruni falls and have lunch with the chagga tribe to watch and help the process of coffee on their farm which was extraordinary. Gedele our initial driver in the beginning of the trip was a youthful and very informative of the place that helped the nature of the trip more adventurous. He gave us Swahili lessons to use for our trip that it helped very well with the people we met to have them more accommodating and friendly.
Then we went to Serval Kingdom for two days which is plenty. This place is where the animals come to your back and front yard to interact with them and feed them at least twice a day. To have breakfast with giraffes and zebras and elans and gazelle was breathtaking also a sunset tea and movie in the open with the animals.
The next adventure was the Safari adventures at Tarangire National park , Seregeti National Parl and The Ngorongoro Crater. Our Guide and head Guide Walter was amazing , his knowledge of the area and animals were an extra bonus to our trip
We saw the Big 5 and it is a seldom feat done on the first trip we had. So many Elephants and lions and leopards and cheetah. One cheetah with her small cub was beautiful. The Cape buffalo is a sight to be hold and of course the White Rhino was breathtaking. George was very thorough and thoughtful the whole time in our safari trips those days. The stays at Lake Manyara Kilimamojo Lodge was something out of a luxurious movie the staff and the song from the Massai tribe was fantastic Then our next stay at the Serengeti Four Seasons was just excellent and extraordinary with your bathroom and balcony overlooking a watering hole where so many animals came to drink lions, elephants, Cape buffalo was amazing. There is a dinner and dance restaurant there with the Massai tribe that was just amazing.
We did the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti that is an adventure in itself with a champagne breakfast in the open.
Then we took a short flight to Zanzibar. There is fascinating history there and of course Freddie Mercury’ museum and place was fantastic. Then finally off to the Zanzibar MORA a beach retreat that’s all inclusive and the walks on the Indian Ocean beach was greatly appreciated by us to end our trip!
Tanzania Roadside Expeditions by far made our trip Epic and one of the best trip in our lives. Thank you Paul for everything. Asante Sana !

Great first safari experience
After a lot of research, I decided to book my first safari with Daylight Adventures and I'm so happy I did! I initially came across them on Reddit and was a bit nervous since they don't have a ton of reviews, but ultimately decided to take the chance. During the planning stage, Misaro was super responsive and flexible with all of my back and forth to get the itinerary details just right. Her and Veroline provided excellent communication leading up to the trip and were always quick to respond to my many questions. Our driver Ken was fabulous -- so friendly and great about asking us what we wanted to see and how we wanted to structure our game drives. My mom is now his #1 fan lol. Throughout our trip, the team in Nairobi was great about checking in to make sure everything was going well. When we decided at the last minute to stay in Nairobi instead of continuing on to Diani Beach, the team was super helpful in helping us arrange a driver for sightseeing in Nairobi (Jasper was wonderful!). Thanks, ya'll! Can't wait to come back to Kenya someday, and when I do, I'll be using Daylight.

Responsible tour advisor, planner and executioner
The white horse safari tour operator planned the entire iternary advised the right options, vehicle and guide. The guide Mr. Sam was wonderful with 15 years of guiding experience. We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. We spotted all the great 5 animals and much more. We were also allocated a Masai guide at Masai Mara who helped locate the animals at the right moment. We even spotted Black Rhino and Leopards with a kill on the tree. Simply Amazing.

Couldn’t have planned a better vacation without Michelle Astbury
We are incredibly grateful to Michelle Astbury for planning our unforgettable 11-day African adventure for our family of seven—three couples and one single traveler. There is truly no way we could have planned a trip of this magnitude on our own, and Michelle made the entire experience seamless from beginning to end.
Michelle took the time to listen to each of our individual interests, wishes, and budget offering thoughtful suggestions and patiently working with us until every detail was exactly what we envisioned. She carefully selected beautiful hotels, exceptional tours, and knowledgeable guides in every destination we visited. Everything we wanted to experience was thoughtfully incorporated into our itinerary, and every transition was planned flawlessly.
What made Michelle especially exceptional was the personal attention and communication she gave our family. She joined our family Zoom planning meetings, taking the time to get to know each of us personally and understand what would make the trip special for everyone. That level of care made us feel like more than just clients—we truly felt that she was invested in making our family’s experience extraordinary.
When we first arrived, Michelle even met us for dinner to personally welcome us and surprised us with wonderful travel merchandise. It was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture and set the tone for an incredible journey.
Michelle is professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating exceptional travel experiences. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a special trip. Our African adventure created memories our family will treasure for a lifetime, and Michelle played an enormous part in making that possible.
Thank you, Michelle, for your dedication, patience, personal touch, and for giving our family an experience we will never forget!

Amazing tour amazing trip
I went on the machame tour with my mum! We ended up with just one other person which made the whole trip really focused on us which was great. The campsite was set up for us when we arrived every day. Ladi and Dennis were great tour guides. Ladi is very experienced on the mountain he was able to tell us everything we needed each day making the trip very stress free. Food was fresh and they gave us water everyday to drink and to wash which I didn’t expect but was definitely a bonus. Everything was sorted out for us as soon as we got to the airport which let us focus on enjoying our trip. 10/10 experience I would recommend this trip to anyone and to ask for Ladi because he really was an excellent guide, I wouldn’t have made it to the summit if not for him and his positivity. I’m so grateful we got him as our guide. Asante sana Ladi

Unforgettable 9-Day Safari Across Kenya with Our Guide Yasin
We just completed an amazing 9-day safari across Kenya, visiting Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Nairobi. It was the trip of a lifetime, and our guide Yasin made it even more special.
Yasin's knowledge of wildlife is incredible. He knows so much about the animals' behaviors and habits, and we learned a great deal from him throughout the journey. He has a real "eagle eye" for spotting animals—even the ones hiding in the bushes! More importantly, he is very respectful towards nature and ensures that we observe the animals in a friendly and non-intrusive way.
Communication was never an issue. Yasin speaks fluent English and even knows some Chinese, which was a lovely surprise and made us feel very welcome. He is enthusiastic, warm, and a great conversationalist. We really enjoyed chatting with him during the long drives between parks.
On a personal level, he is just a wonderful person. He took great care of us over the 9 days and made sure we were comfortable and happy at all times.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, I highly recommend booking with Yasin. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing time
A huge thank you to the entire Zohar African Safaris team for making our trip to Tanzania such an unforgettable experience.
From our very first contact, the communication was incredibly easy, fast and reliable. The entire organization was seamless, and at every stage of our journey we had the feeling that everything was perfectly coordinated. Especially when planning such an extensive trip, it is incredibly reassuring to have a team you can truly rely on.
The entire trip and all of our experiences were perfectly arranged, allowing us to simply relax, enjoy every moment and fully immerse ourselves in everything Tanzania had to offer.
A very special thank you goes to our driver and personal guide, Daniel. He was not only extremely reliable and professional, but above all incredibly friendly and pleasant to be around. His knowledge of Tanzania, the wildlife and the nature was remarkable, and we learned so many new and fascinating things throughout our safari.
What we appreciated most was that Daniel was never intrusive. He had a wonderful sense of when we wanted to learn more and when we simply wanted to enjoy the moment. At the same time, he always made sure we experienced the most beautiful moments and captured them perfectly in photographs. So many of these memories will stay with us for a very long time.
Daniel was absolutely reliable, attentive and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. Thank you so much, Daniel!
The safari, the breathtaking landscapes and, of course, the Ngorongoro Crater were among the absolute highlights of our trip and truly unforgettable. But it was the combination of Zohar African Safaris’ excellent organization and Daniel’s personal care and expertise that made the journey so special for us.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Zohar African Safaris and would choose to travel with you again anytime.
Thank you for creating such incredible memories for us!

An unforgettable bespoke experience
Our experience with The 3Ps was great from the start, Norah helped us plan the exact trip we wanted and her communication was amazing. We were even able to add in extra experiences a few weeks before the trip to maximise our time. Our guide Maurice was friendly and knowledgeable striking the perfect balance between allowing us to enjoy privacy on a wonderful honeymoon but also passing on knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and culture. He was always clear as to the plan for each day and he went over and above to ensure we got some incredible sightings and had an authentic experience. A trip we would highly recommend and good value for money in comparison to other options.
