It was fantastic!
We did three safari tours with Professional Safari. Our expectations were far exceeded. Modi, our guide, was extremely experienced and always took our wishes into account. We were able to collect many unforgettable impressions and would recommend Professional Safari to everyone.

Great tour experience!
The tour has been unbeatable. The excellent organization. The driver and guide Muri, with very good Spanish and very experienced as well as friendly. Thanks to him we saw many animals in action. Really fantastic. And the food that Gadi made for us, luxury.
Outstanding, Promised Land went above and beyond to ensure I had an unforgettable safari.
I recently had the privilege of going on a safari with Promised Land Tours, and it was truly an experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that we had a seamless and unforgettable adventure.
The guide Dismas was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the wildlife but also about the landscapes and the local culture. He would often spot things I would miss and immediately bring them to my attention. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic experience and I managed to see the big five, as well as the Great Migration of wildebeests from Kenya to Tanzania. We were able to get up close to animals in their natural habitat, and every day was filled with breathtaking moments.
I can't recommend Promised Land enough for anyone looking to experience the magic of the African wilderness. Whether you're an avid wildlife enthusiast or a first-time safari-goer, they will make sure you have the trip of a lifetime!

Great value and most professional
Wildlife Safaris was professional from the time of booking to the conclusion of our trip. They provided an excellent service exactly as described in their tour package. Our tour guide, Anthony “Hoppy” Hawell was a punctual, patient and knowledgeable guide, who knew about all the birds and flora in the park. He made our tour a very pleasant and memorable experience. We are so grateful for having him have as our tour guide!

Jabu and Cuthbert made our trip so special
Thank you for arranging such a memorable trip for our family. We have just arrived back in the UK and I wanted to send my heartfelt thanks to Njabulo and Cuthbert for the great care they took to keep us all safe and for all their hard work to ensure that we had the experience of a lifetime in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
As you hopefully already know, Njabulo is supremely talented guide, teacher and communicator and I feel very lucky to have had someone with his passion, experience and skill for our trip. He was always on hand to take care of us all, and help head-off or smooth any bumps in the road. I especially appreciate his help to ensure that my wife was able to enjoy gluten-free food throughout the trip - something I still marvel at given the remoteness of some of our locations. And I am indebted to the chefs at the various lodges, hotels and boat to have been able to produce such excellent food - even better than is sometimes on offer in the heart of Oxford here in the UK.
Thanks also to Cuthbert for his skilful driving and endlessly positive attitude. He and Njabulo are the dream team. I truly look forward to returning one day to experience more of these great countries in their company, and wouldn’t want anyone else to be our guide or driver.

Well curated with solid lodging and even better game drives; great experience
This was my second experience with Meektrails as a safari outfit. Being our second trip, we wanted to add a bit of variety over the prior trip and opted for a 10 day safari going from Samburu, to Ol Pejeta, to Masai Mara and finishing up the trip with a stop in Naivasha and Amboseli.
Each location was fantastic with incredibly friendly staff and accommodations, but ultimately it was all about the game drives and opportunities for wildlife viewings and that's where our guide/driver came in.
We had James for both of our trips and the guy has proven to be an absolute legend each time. He was happy to accommodate our schedules (as a wildlife photographer, I wanted a few earlier mornings to catch the sunrise/golden hour) and his ability to find and spot wildlife was unmatched. I left this trip with some of the best photos I've ever taken and it wouldn't have been possible without his skills both behind the wheel and what he was able to spot and see.
If you're thinking about picking a photography oriented safari, Meektrails is a great option. To see the type of wildlife viewing potential there is to be had on one of these safaris you can check out my website: www.simonmillerphotography.com where I have shots from both trips.
The only room for improvement I would say for Meektrails would be in communications leading up to the tour date. Just a quick check-in message or email to notify and confirm arrivals, etc as well as an updated or current copy of the itinerary would go a long way to reassure and stoke excitement/anticipation in clients .

Amazing, every bit of it!
I really loved the experience with the guys from Leopard Orchid Safaris, from the beginning tk the end!
They are very professional and reliable, during the booking process I was helped by Michael who was very kind, patient and available. He offered me two options according to my wishes and was so helpful as he answered all of my questions.
During the safari, Fred was the most amazing guide, he spotted animals that were very far away and was so patient with me. The lodges they booked for me were superb, very clean and safe, the staff was always kind, the food amazing. I got to see leopards, lions, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, every kind of antilopes, many many birds and beautiful nature and landscapes.
I couldn't recommend this company more!!

Fantastic Life Time Experience
We've always wanted to travel to Kenya and when we saw James's posts on Instagram we felt an immediate connection. He is very environmentally conscious, respectful of nature and animals which was very important to us in a safari guide. We emailed James and started planning our trip. We gave him a list of conservancies we wanted to see and he made sure we saw everything on our list and much more, including visiting a Samburu community.
Traveling with James was an experience we will never forget. We saw amazing wildlife. The Kenyan people are very friendly and welcoming. James and his assistant responded quickly to our emails and took care of all the details involved in planning this trip.
We are planning to travel again with Jemu Expeditons in 2025. There is so much more of Kenya that we want to see.

Well organized and a truly unforgettable experience, exceeding out expectations.
We recently went on an amazing trip to Masai Mara with The Out Of Africa Experience (Africa Tours), and we’re still thrilled about it! The entire journey was well-organized, and everything went smoothly, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
Kudos to Ms. Immaculate, our tour planner, for crafting an extraordinary itinerary that exceeded our expectations.
Our flights via Wilson to Masai Mara were punctual and comfortable, setting the tone for an exceptional adventure.
At Karen Blixen Camp in Mara North Conservancy, we spent three incredible days surrounded by breathtaking views and warm hospitality. Mr. Joseph, our host and safari guide, was a font of knowledge and kindness, making our wildlife encounters truly special. Mr. Solomon, our food and beverage attendant, provided impeccable service with a smile. The entire camp staff was welcoming, efficient, and dedicated to our comfort.
Our subsequent stay at Mara Serena Lodges was equally impressive, with courteous staff and well-organized safari excursions.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to The Out Of Africa Experience(Africa Tours) for making this trip an extraordinary experience. From the meticulous planning to the seamless execution, your team's dedication and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. The personalized service, knowledgeable guides, and exceptional accommodations all contributed to a truly memorable journey. Thank you for turning our dream safari into a reality; we couldn't have asked for a better adventure!

Several things didn’t went as promised, although we paid for it. We are not satisfied at all.
We got a very nice offer, that we accepted and paid all in advance. Tsavo East was skipped at the day of departure. Although that parkeer was paid. The lodge we paid for was, as they say, full. Allthough we booked in february, later us was told that in february that lodge wasn’t full, and we had to stay in another lodge, 18 km outside the park and very poor. Therefor we also missed the sunrise gamedrive. And our time in the park was also less. We had several times contact and asked for an explanation. And there were some more things. Untill now we didn’t get any compensation. We will never book at Jastro Safaris again.
