Very friendly and was quick to respond
We really enjoyed our safari. Our tour guide was very nice. Communication was easy. Since we went for a mid range package the accomodation was good. Also, it was our first time on safari in Kenya and we wanted to see as many place as possible. We went to Maasai Mara, Lake Elemental, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East. Maasai Mara was a good experience but were tired after the all day game drive🦓🦁. Add that to 7 days of travelling it was a bit hectic. Nevertheless we enjoyed the wild life 🦒🦌. For us Amboseli was the best because we did sunrise and sunset drives 🌞 (Mt kilimanjaro is beautiful 🏔) Also Tsavo east was amazing! Next time we would love to just pick 1-2 places and spend more time and experience it fully. 😃

Cost effective private safety tour with professional guide
Indeed my tour was handled by Sam's safari who owns bundas inside Ruaha national park. It is located at one of the best locations facing the great Ruaha river. They serve basic, tasty food. However, the bundas are old and lacking maintenance. There was no hot shower. One of the window cannot be closed. The guide was not a talkative person, yet he has great knowledge about animals, birds and plants. We could see lions trying to catch a buffalo, thanks for the guide.

All organized
The first day we did the Chobe sunset cruise and it was great.
The second day we did the Chobe cruise in the morning and the 4x4 in the afternoon. In my opinion, there was not enough time on both tours so I recommend investing an extra day in a full day 4x4.
The third day we did a full day 4x4 and it was extraordinary.
The fourth day the transfer to all the sites of Victoria Falls was smooth sailing. Both the zip line, seeing the park, the helicopter and the sunset cruise were great.
The fifth day Devils Pool was an unforgettable experience but the transfer was a disaster. Only this transfer needs to be improved.

Good tour
The safari was really nice.
However Amboseli is the nicest to see, I would recommend to stay longer in this park. There is no much to see in Tsavo west (too many bushes).
The hotel are okay and well located except Amboseli where we were far from the reserve (50 minutes).
Our guide was really nice but it would have been great to have longer day (safaris start at 7 and end at 12).
Kenya Bush is a reliable organization and they are really reactive, you can trust them

Great
My friend and I researched a lot of safari tour companies and ended up choosing The Great Adventure Africa. I am glad that we did! It was my first safari and I loved it. We saw many animals, even lions from up close. The first day at Tarangire and the second day at Ngorongoro were very different in terms of the landscape and animals, so it was a perfect combination. Our guide Gabriel was very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we had plenty of time to take pictures. Sadock from The Great Adventure Africa was very quick to respond to all the questions I had beforehand. My friend and I arrived on different flights and they arranged separate airport pick-ups for us at no additional cost. All in all, great value for money and can definitely recommend this Tour Operator Company.

Review about Timbavati Private Nature Reserve by Ben Johnson
Timbavati was fantastic from an accommodation and guest experience, however the animal population felt much more sparse than at Sabi Sand. Overall still a great experience and I would love to go back.

It was an amazing tour with great food.
It was a beautiful tour through the landscapes of Tanzania. Baraka was a great guide and was able to answer all of our questions. I also have to praise Pius. He took care of the food, which was delicious. We felt completely at ease and were able to concentrate fully on the safari.

Got the job done
Raven Safaris is the Tanzanian partner of the tour operator we used in Kenya. The safari went as expected per the itinerary. Our guide Mr. C was very experienced and knowledgeable about local wildlife, including birds. We wanted to see wildebeests crossing and rhinos to complete our safari trip and he made both happen. He was also a very safe driver.
The reason for 4 stars is the condition of the safari vehicle - we had 2 flat tires in 5 days, there were multiple cracks in the windshield and one of the side mirrors was held together by tape. The inside is comfortable but I'm not sure how well the vehicle is maintained. Judging by the license plate, the vehicle is an older one.

Fantastic - made for an unforgettable family adventure!
Last year, we booked a 5-day safari covering Amboseli, Tsavo East & West, and Taita Hills for our family of six, and we had the pleasure of enjoying a private land cruiser for the entire journey.
From the start, Charles was incredibly responsive and crafted a fantastic itinerary tailored to our needs.
Our tour guide, Patrick, was the highlight of our trip—he deserves a full 5 stars. His extensive knowledge, dedication to finding the best game views, and warm, engaging personality made the entire experience truly memorable.
However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when booking:
As noted by others, the quality of accommodations varied. While one lodge offered a unique leopard experience, the room itself was too uncomfortable for a good night's sleep. Given the long days of travel and game drives, we found that restful sleep was essential.
Additionally, although the itinerary mentioned "time at leisure" at the lodges, in reality, there was little downtime between lunch and the evening game drives. Unless you plan to stay in one location for a couple of days to truly unwind, I recommend prioritizing accommodation comfort over amenities like pools.
Despite these minor points, the trip was absolutely incredible and one we will cherish forever!
