Amazing trip
I had an amazing experience with Nafika Tours during my 7-day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro! The entire trip was exceptionally well organized, and the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism from start to finish. Communication was always easy, quick, and straightforward, making the whole experience stress-free.
The guides and crew were fantastic, supportive, and clearly experienced, helping make this challenging adventure both enjoyable and unforgettable. The views along the route were absolutely breathtaking, with incredible landscapes that made every step worth it.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro. If you're looking for a professional, reliable, and friendly team to help you achieve this incredible goal, they are an excellent choice. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Fantastic! My wife and I had a blast in our 6 day Safari with Gosheni
My wife and I had a blast in our 6 day Safari with Gosheni.
Great car, food, camp, friendly staff, and most importantly a fantastic driver. Our driver Edward Massaki was incredible; super knowledgeable of the parks, animals, great communication and a incredible spotter -- we were able to see the big 5 and a lot more, always with great views of the animals.
We covered Tarangiri, Central and North Seringeti and Ngorogoro.
We had a wonderful time, would definitely recommend Gosheni.

Dishonest
Africa Flash McTours and Travel, specifically its owner Peter, took what should have been a most memorable safari for my wife and I and made it a horrific memory of our experience. After much research, inclusive of quoting several companies and reading reviews, we booked a 3 day, 2 night safari in Amboseli National Park with this company. We paid our 90% deposit two months before our departure date and the balance one week before departure. African Flash booked our accommodations at the Ol Tukai Lodge.
The safari and stay at the lodge were outstanding. Our driver/guide, Martin was awesome. He made sure we had a wonderful safari experience from the start as he picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and drove us 5 hours to the park. Our horrific experience started when we checked out and looked to start our journey back to Nairobi.
Our guide, Martin informed us that Peter had not paid the lodge for our stay and that the management was not permitting us to leave until they received payment. It was at that moment that I received a call from Peter apologizing for the inconvenience and stating that he was working to settle the account. He started to intimate that I could help him by paying the Lodge a balance due. I stopped him and stated that I would not pay anything additional as I had prepaid the full amount.
Our departure delay continued for over three hours as Peter continued to make false promises that the matter would be resolved with 15 minutes, then 30 minutes…. I engaged with the Ol Tukai manager and provided him with a copy of my paid in full invoice. While apologetic he told me the lodge’s policy was not to release our vehicle and driver and thus us until the account was settled as Peter had not paid anything towards our stay. I called the US Embassy in Nairobi and had them engaged with the lodge manager. While they have no enforcement authority in the country they did explain to the manager that they had no right to hold U.S. citizens from departing their property for an account balance they did not owe. The conversation had no impact on resolving the situation (I’ll reserve further comments on what I consider the hostage holding policy of Ol Tukai Lodge for my review of that establishment)
To me, Peter continued to lie about settling the account for over another hour. The only recourse we had was to hire another transport company to take us on the 5 hour trip back to Nairobi. So, we departed Amboseli disgusted with African Flash McTours. We took our guide with us as Peter was willing to have him stay in Amboseli with the vehicle that Ol Tukai lodge was preventing from leaving.
There are dozens of Safari companies to choose from in Kenya. I would run away from this company. One final point, I did receive a refund from Peter for the cost of the transport to Nairobi, but that in no way makes up for the horrific 4 hour hostage experience we endured.

Reliable and affoardable
Our Kenyan safari was an amazing experience from start to finish! Norah was our tour consultant, and she made the planning process easy and stress-free. She was professional, quick to respond to our questions, and helpful in ensuring everything was arranged according to our expectations. We felt well informed before the trip even began.
Sam, our safari guide, was fantastic. He was welcoming, easy to get along with, and very knowledgeable about the animals and the local environment. His sharp eyes helped us spot wildlife we might otherwise have missed. He was also patient and made sure we had enough time to enjoy the sightings and take photos.
One of the best parts of the trip was seeing how different each destination was. The scenery, the wildlife, and the experience of being out in the wild made every day exciting in its own way.
A big thank you to Norah for organizing everything so smoothly and to Sam for being such a great guide. The trip gave us wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for Kenya’s wildlife. We would definitely recommend this team to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable safari!

Great safari experience
Our guide Raheem Mwema was exceptional - knowledgeable about wildlife and patient. We were lucky to see four out of five big five animals (except rhinos).
Whole trip was perfectly paced, a lot of time to take photos of the animals.
Highly recommend the guide and the company.

Quick communication and problem solver
Initially, we were a bit uncertain because of the small number of reviews, but all our doubts quickly vanished.
Mike from Big Bull Safari was exceptionally communicative and always responded to our inquiries within a very short time. Due to illness during our trip, we faced a few unexpected issues and needed assistance along the way. Big Bull Safari stepped in every single time without delay, providing quick support and outstanding solutions.
The safari tours themselves were wonderful. The guides were consistently friendly, helpful, and took plenty of time at every sight—we never felt rushed at all. Our accommodation, the Umbhaba Eco Lodge, was also beautiful. A special highlight was the dinner: the buffet offered exceptionally high-quality and delicious dishes.
We can highly recommend Big Bull Safari and would definitely book with them again!

Professional and affordable Lifetime-Experience
We‘ve booked the 3-Day Massai Mara-Tour, based on a recommendation of some Friends. Communication was easy from the beginning via WhatsApp and Mail. Replies came almost immediately. Started in Nairobi in the morning, we had our first Game-Drive already the same afternoon until Sunset. Our Guide Gilbert was incredible and managed to find the Big 5 and much more Game along the route within the first 3 hours. The second day then was really what you can call „Once in a liftime“! From the pure Beauty and Grace of so many animals like Giraffes and Elephants which created so many heartwarming moments, sometimes only a few Meters Away, up to the pure brutality of the Circle of life when we witnessed a complete and successful Hunt of 3 Lioness on a group of Wildebeest, lasting for about 1/2 hour and letting our hearts stop beating when they finally attacked at close range. One kill for that day was enough and we all were therefore happy when a group of Zebras crossed the Croc-infested Mara-River und reached the other side unharmed, despite some Crocs were visible very close to them. Only a few stories of what we were blessed to experience. As I said: Unforgettable moments, thanks to our great Guide Gilbert!
