The best
Safari is not about “seeing animals,” but about how nature suddenly becomes very close and real. We saw the entire “big five,” and each encounter was like a small miracle, and seeing a leopard is a rare opportunity, and it happened! Thank you to our guide, Omi, for his sensitivity and for showing Africa not as a picture, but as a living, breathing world; also, many thanks to the driver, Dixon, for his professionalism and good mood. This is definitely one of the warmest memories of my life.

Dream fulfilled
I have no words to describe the incredible experience I’ve had with Joagro. The trip was spectacular: we saw the "Big Five," witnessed lions mating and feeding, and even spotted rhinos on three separate occasions.
Our guide and driver, Sule, is simply the best—he’s an absolute pro at locating animals and explaining their behavior, all in perfect Spanish. Beyond that, he is an exceptional human being. Having Laurent along as our photographer was a brilliant decision; thanks to his camera, we’ve come away with wonderful memories of the adventure—he’s truly a master at his craft! And, of course, I can’t forget Jonas; we spent many months planning this safari, and he was always attentive and patient with every single question I had.
They promote responsible tourism that is deeply respectful of the environment. Furthermore, the logistics were flawless—we enjoyed hot meals in the parks every single day, and we even had wine and beer! We felt incredibly well looked after and cared for throughout the entire journey.
A million thanks to the Joagro family for a trip that has truly captured my heart.

Elijah was amazing. He navigated the plain so well we were able to see so many animals.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Falio Adventures! We went on safari this past Sunday, and it was truly a memorable experience for our entire family.
What made this trip especially meaningful was that it was my grandfather’s very first safari. Being able to share that experience with him, witness his excitement, and create those memories together made the day even more special.
From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. The adventure, the wildlife, the beautiful scenery, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Everything came together to make it a day we will remember for a long time. Great communication, door to doer service, excellent price and professionalism.
I cannot recommend Falio Adventures enough. If you’re visiting Kenya and looking for an unforgettable safari experience, do yourself a favor and book with them. They helped us create a memory that goes far beyond a typical excursion.
Thank you, Falio Adventures, for such a beautiful day and an experience our family will cherish for years to come!

Kenya better than Tanzania with same operator
Had a great experience but the driver was always late more than 30-40min, which took time from our safaris. Only downside. Great experience otherwise. I preferred the safari in Kenya, which I also did with Zanzi right before Tanzania. I appreciated their service and do recommend. Masai Mara & Amboseli were amazing!

An unforgettable safari
We booked a private 7-day safari with Serengeti Smile and could not be happier. From the first email to the last day, communication was quick, friendly and flexible – Piniel adapted the itinerary and accommodations to our wishes without any fuss.
Our guide Sanare was the highlight: knowledgeable, patient and always with a sharp eye for wildlife. The game drives, especially in the Northern Serengeti with the Great Migration, were truly breathtaking, and the camps and lodges were comfortable with great food.
We can warmly recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Asante sana!

Safari in Tanzania: an unforgettable experience, for all the wrong reasons
For our August 2026 honeymoon, my husband and I organised everything ourselves, using a tour operator only for the safari. Encouraged by the excellent reviews, we chose Safari Avventura and booked a five-day private safari costing around €5,000, including accommodation.
One important detail: although Safari Avventura has an Italian website and offices in Italy, its website lists its registered office not in the EU. We initially thought little of this, but when seeking a refund, we felt less protected as customers than we had expected.
Our main guide, Davide, accompanied us for three days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He told us this was his first time guiding a safari.
I do not hold him primarily responsible. I hold responsible those who entrusted him with a private safari when, in our view, he was not ready to lead it independently.
The biggest problem was his limited knowledge of the routes. We constantly followed other jeeps, often at speed and very close behind, with dust pouring into our vehicle. Whenever we lost sight of the jeep ahead, Davide stopped repeatedly to ask for directions.
This affected everything: sightings lasted only moments, we could not linger to watch the animals, and stops at designated rest areas, including toilet breaks, were cut short or skipped. We had to keep moving to avoid losing the vehicle ahead. Those days felt constantly rushed.
Ngorongoro remains our most painful memory. We spent around two hours inside the crater, leaving at about 1 p.m., and were back at the lodge by 2:30 p.m. The Maasai village visit scheduled for that day was skipped and only took place later, thanks to Christian.
Visiting Ngorongoro meant so much to my husband. Yet, despite specifically asking to stop, we could not even pause to admire the view over the crater: we had to keep following another vehicle. Missing out on that moment is still what hurts me most.
There were other problems too. Davide broke our binoculars while trying to adjust them and had none to lend us. We often had to speak English, despite booking an Italian-speaking guide. We also felt his wildlife knowledge was inadequate: he mistook a leopard for a cheetah and flamingos for storks.
We reported the problems to the company on our very first day with him. They replaced our guide only for the final day—too late, once our visits to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro were already over.
We are not complaining about the number of animals we saw: we know perfectly well that a safari is not a zoo. What saddens us is that we could not properly enjoy even the encounters we were lucky enough to have.
Of the roughly €5,000 we spent, we received a refund of just €350, despite requesting more. We consider this inadequate given the shortcomings in the service. I waited longer before writing because thinking about it means reliving the disappointment. It is painful to come home from your honeymoon and find yourself telling this story whenever someone asks how it went.
Based on our experience, we advise against booking with Safari Avventura. We entrusted them with a once-in-a-lifetime part of our honeymoon, and we are deeply disappointed

An Unforgettable Safari in Kenya – A Journey That Touched Our Hearts!
Our safari in Kenya with Kenya Bush Expeditions was an absolutely unforgettable experience that left us overwhelmed, deeply moved, and filled with gratitude. The breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and magical moments will stay in our hearts forever.
From the very beginning, our wonderful guide Eduard welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. He made our safari truly special, and we enjoyed every moment with him. What impressed us most was his deep respect for the animals and nature. He always made sure to keep a respectful distance, and we never once felt that the animals were disturbed or stressed by our presence. This meant so much to us.
Unfortunately, our luggage did not arrive with us in Kenya, and the airline was hardly helpful. But Kenya Bush Expeditions went above and beyond to help us and made sure we got our suitcases back. Their kindness, dedication, and support meant the world to us, especially in such a stressful situation.
We are still struggling to find the right words to describe how beautiful and emotional this journey was. It was so much more than just a safari – it was an experience that truly touched our souls.
We wholeheartedly recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions! Thank you so much to Eduard and the entire team for the wonderful memories, your genuine care, and an adventure we will treasure forever. ❤️🇰🇪

Get Together Adventures were the best! Lifetime memories!
We had the most amazing experience with Get Together Adventures. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Our guide Emmanuel and drivers Malkundi and Joseph were just unbelievable. They went out of their way to cater to our every need and were so experienced in their knowledge about every animal. What we didn’t expect was how close we came to so many animals - they were literally a metre from the jeep - lions, hyenas, hippos, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, impalas and we even saw rhinos and leopards. It was an experience of a life time and I would recommend Get Together Adventures to anyone who was coming to Tanzania. Thank you guys for your care, sharing your knowledge and all the laughs we had along the way.
