In general well organized but challenges to adopt quickly (car breakdown)
We booked our Safari with Brian from Mackosafaris. The booking process went smoothly and also the communication has been good. We have been picked up from the airport as agreed and started our tour.
Unfortunately our car got a defect on the journey to our first lodge after 20 hours of overall travel (defect of front right wheel axle). After some repair attempts along the way we thought it’s ok and got 2 hours delayed to our first lodge.
After a game drive in the evening and in the morning we were told that the car has to be checked as it is still a problem and we could not go without repair. Unfortunately through that we have been delayed by half a day and I told Brian that we will not go to Amboseli with this delay, as it would have added approximately 8 hours of drive for only one game drive. This would have been a nightmare for our 2 kids.
We have been very frustrated how the company handled the reorganization caused by their defect car which has not been repaired or exchanged in a timely manner. We lost unnecessarily more than half a day of paid Safari out of 3 days and worsening we have been rebooked into 3rd class lodges instead of 1st class which we originally booked and paid for. We were told that they don’t have enough budget left to book us in appropriate lodges like originally booked.
Overall frustrating experience how the company dealt with this unplanned incident (very slow and no adequate alternatives for a problem they caused).
Would recommend to book with a financially stronger and bigger company who can handle unexpected things better or maintain their fleet better.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommend!
What an incredible experience! I honestly couldn’t recommend Green Places Adventures enough! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized by Elijah, who made the whole process super easy and smooth.
The communication was great, the service was professional but also really warm and personal, and we felt so well taken care of throughout the trip.
The safari itself was absolutely magical! Our guide Evans was amazing – super knowledgeable, passionate about wildlife, and always making us laugh along the way. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and even spotted a leopard cub! 🥹 So many unforgettable moments!
What made the experience extra special was how much genuine care and effort the team put into everything. We could just relax, enjoy the adventure, and soak it all in.
Amazing experience, great value for money, and just wonderful people! I would 100% book with Green Places Adventures again and recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Africa.
A huge thank you to Elijah and Evans for making this trip so special! 🦁🐘❤️

Expectations far exceeded.
A Masai Mara safari has been on my bucket list forever - so expectations were high - these expectations were far exceeded in the preparation, communication, operations and the actual safari itself - it has been one of the highlights of my life experiences - to the point ive said to all, its a must do before you die.
Outside the experience of safari.com, the respect the individual drivers and companies had for the other safari operations (and hence their guests), the animals, the Masai Mara (and its people) and the enviroment in general was first class - I come from a country that also offers safaris to wildlife parks to see elephant - leopard - crocadiles - deer and sloth bear - but the experience is spoilt by the competitiveness of the drivers jockeying for position and the total disrespect for guest experience and the animals - I did not experiece one incidence of this - on the contrary i saw many incidences of the drivers and guides giveing way to their competitors to enhance the experience of all the guests. Truly a credit to the individual operators and whoever oversees the management of the Masai Mara - truly one of the wonders of the world.

Great experience
We had an amazing experience with our 12 day adventure. Communication was great with Angie and Yolanda. Our guides Joseph and Tony were excellent. Our ranger Aubrey gave us a great experience on the game drives, sharing his vast knowledge of the animals, birds and plants/trees. We highly recommend traveling with Go Touch Down!

Incredible
We had an incredible experience with Safarilink SA from start to finish! Everything was well organized, and the team made sure we had a wonderful and memorable safari experience.
A special shoutout to Precious, who was our main point of contact throughout the planning process! She was sooo accommodating, patient, and flexible with all our requests. Even with our last-minute changes, she went above and beyond to help us customize our tour exactly how we wanted it. We really appreciated how easy she made the entire planning process!
As for the safari itself, we had such an amazing time at Kruger! It was truly an a once in a lifetime adventure, and would 100% recommend it!

We loved the variety of landscapes including savanna, forest and mountains.
Our main goal was to climb Mount Meru, and this was the highlight of the trip. We bolted on a one-day safari and found it easy to reach the national parks from Arusha, from where we also set off for the mountain climb. We were very pleased with the variety of wildlife seen on the safari. The ability to combine this experience with a week by the sea in Zanzibar was a great concept.

Amazing, exceeded expectations
Our group of 6 traveled on an amazing Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and local tours to schools, coffee plantations and Maasai village. Aminiel was our amazing guide with Paschal as our driver and guide. They were extremely knowledgeable and worked very hard to get us close to animals. All were very friendly and entertaining and I will always remember them for giving us such amazing memories

Reliable, Trusted and Transparent- Incredible African Safari Experience with Serengeti Clarity
I recently returned from an incredible safari across Kenya and Tanzania, and I can honestly say this has been one of the best travel experiences I have had.
Planning a safari across two countries can be quite a task, but Frank, the owner of Serengeti Clarity, made the process relatively easy. He is very approachable, easy to communicate with and open to customising the itinerary around what you actually want to experience. I particularly appreciated the transparency in pricing and the flexibility to choose the hotels I wanted. Frank could also accommodate last moment requests and is a genuinely nice person to work with.
For the Kenya leg, Serengeti Clarity worked with their local partner, Meek Trails, and we had James as our guide in Amboseli. James was simply exceptional. His knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to make every game drive special made our time in Amboseli truly memorable.
In Tanzania, we had Eric as our guide, and what a fantastic experience that was! Eric is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about wildlife and has a remarkable eye for spotting animals. He often managed to find wildlife on his own, sometimes without even relying on radio updates. Our time in Ndutu with Eric will remain one of my most cherished safari memories.
A few things that really stood out throughout the trip were the quality of the vehicles, the hotel arrangements and, most importantly, the guides. I am an early riser when it comes to safaris, and both James and Eric were always punctual and ready to go. They were safe drivers and showed genuine respect for wildlife. That matters a great deal to me, as I believe a good safari is not just about how many animals you see, but also about how responsibly you experience them.
Looking back, I am really glad I chose Serengeti Clarity for this adventure. From the elephants of Amboseli to the incredible wildlife encounters in Ngorongoro, Ndutu and the Serengeti, it was an experience I will remember for a long time.
A big thank you to Frank, James and Eric for making this such a special journey. I came back with some wonderful memories and photographs, and I would happily recommend Serengeti Clarity to anyone planning a Kenya and Tanzania safari!
