Best Tour Operator
Omary went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. Tarangire’s elephants and towering baobab trees were a fantastic introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife. The Serengeti left us speechless with its endless plains and incredible wildlife encounters. We watched a lioness and her cubs play right next to our vehicle! Lake Manyara was a beautiful oasis, with monkeys and colorful birds everywhere. Ngorongoro Crater was like a lost world, filled with zebras, wildebeests, and even a rare rhino sighting. Our lodges were comfortable, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. The food was outstanding, with fresh and flavorful meals each day. John’s deep knowledge and passion made every game drive exciting. We highly recommend 1wonder Expedition for an unforgettable adventure! We Highly recommend This Safari Company to any Residents Organization

Accommodating, knowledgeable, and excellent driver.
Serengenti smile went above and beyond to accommodate us and customize our Safari package. Our time in Arusha was limited and we had specific requests. For example, they coordinated a balloon ride during our 3 day safari and did not overcharge us. Most importantly, they were great in communicating with us on updates and changes.

The Best Family Trip We’ve Ever Had
My family had a wonderful experience with Spirit of Kenya. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Our guide, Thomas, was kind, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. He taught us a lot about the animals, the landscape, and the local culture. Over the trip of five days, we were able to see all the animals we had hoped for. Since it wasn’t the high season, we could take our time and quietly observe the wildlife without crowds, which made the experience even more special.
Our 5 and 7 years old children had an amazing time — they were fully engaged throughout the journey. It was clear that this is a great age for kids to enjoy and appreciate a safari. Watching the sunrise together over the African plains as a family was truly unforgettable. It’s a memory we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
It was worth every penny — an experience we will never regret and always cherish. Without a doubt, this was the best family trip we’ve ever had!

Stunning country
South Africa is a super rich country, it has everything, the most amazing views, mountains, ocean, excellent roads, the food is amazing, the people is super kind, it is imposible not to fall in love with everything it has to offer.
Flexible and positive delivery
We had a very good safari with ETA. Great communication from start to finish. Very good value with an absolute star of a guide. The lodges we stayed in were good quality despite being a budget option with the Masai camp at the Masai mara being a standout.
I would recommend this company 100%.
We made a change to the itinerary half way through to stay with the same guide and ETA handled it very well.
If you get a chance to get Wilson as you guide you are very lucky as he is excellent.

Enthusiastic & Knowledgeable
For any keen birder, Western Kenya is an area one must explore - full of lifers is the best way to describe it! I had been eager to visit the region for a while and although we had limited time, Ouma managed to take us all over and fulfill most of my target species list in the short span of 2 nights. Ouma picked us in a rental car from Rondo retreat, and we headed from Mumias-Adungosi-Alupe-Amakura and spent a night in Busia. The next day, we went from Katotoi-Yala swamp. The highlight of our trip was sharing a delicious, home-cooked lunch prepared by Awuor, Ouma's wife, who catered to our vegetarian diet, with his four children.
Ouma's knowledge of the birds in the area is exceptional, and he was aware of spots for every species that I wanted to see. His land in Katotoi hills, bordering Uganda, is a fantastic birding hotspot. We managed to see species such as the speckle-breasted woodpecker and the bamboo warbler, which is a skulking bird that he discovered being the first record for the country. Overall, the entire experience was incredible value for money, and Ouma's communication is quick and concise, something I really appreciated, as slow or unclear responses are often a major issue with bird guides in Kenya.
I highly recommend all birders get in touch with Ouma, plus I've already referred him to all my friends. Western Kenya is a hidden gem waiting to be explored, and there's no doubt that Ouma is the perfect guide to help you discover all its incredible birdlife.

Wonderful experience!
My partner (now fiancee!) were looking for a 4-5 day safari across multiple parks in Kenya, and Kameraz had the trip that met our exact description for a good price. We loved our experience with them! We did 5 days total in Masai Mara, Lake Navaisha, and Amboseli. The accommodations were all great and perfect for the price we paid. Our driver/guide Frank was fantastic. He was an expert at spotting animals, birds, and telling us about the parks and Kenya in general. We took the option of seeing a Masai village and doing a Lake Navaisha wildlife tour, which were the only experiences we had to pay for DURING our trip (although we could have chosen to pay for them before the trip started as well). I proposed to my now fiancee on the trip and received excellent advice from both Karen and Frank about where to do it.
I thought the value for the experience was overall very appropriate (we chose the mid-range option). We did have to complete the payment in cash once we got there because of some issues with the conversion of USD to shilling, but it was no issue really. If you like to know plans well ahead of time like me, you may have to be a little more proactive with communicating with the team, but overall it was not a significant issue and everything was pretty seamless once the trip had started.
The one thing I will say is if you are planning on going to multiple parks in a short time period like us, be prepared to spend a lot of time driving. We definitely underestimated how big Kenya is and how long it takes to get from each destination, and I think because of that it felt like we were on the go a lot. Navaisha was cool but would have easily traded it for somewhere else. Would focus on the parks (Amboseli was amazing and I wish we spent more time there).
Overall, would highly recommend!
amazing and fun
very fun affordable i learned a lot and it gave an unforgetable mark in my life
