Very attentive to us
It's very complicate understand previouly how is the safari: the roads, distances, the accommodations, so the recomendatons and options previus of Safari from Vision Safari were importants.
The best: Ben our driver: very polite, good knowledge of nature, friedly and very good driver!

Unique, authentic, and exciting!
We booked the safari a few months ago, and the service was excellent right from the start. We were given several options based on our preferences, and we found it to be a great way to accommodate the needs of every guest. Our guide, Mike, was amazing... he took us through the various parks, explaining the characteristics of the different animals and making sure everyone got a good view and took great photos. What can I say? Tanzania is simply Tanzania—magnificent landscapes that will take your breath away... We stayed at a mid-range lodge, but the food and waking up surrounded by animals were worth more than any other luxury.
We highly recommend taking the coffee tour with a local producer because the experience is truly authentic, and the guide will walk you through the entire process—from the plant to the cup—in a Meru village.
It's definitely worth the money for the experience!

Real excellent professional safari
Our 4 day safari was excellent from very first beginning up to the end. I must thank office manager Octavian for usefull advices, helping me to choose right safari for us and good organization. Both our acommodation in Martinas retreat and Serengeti classic view camp were very nice and clean, with good meal and wonderful helpful staf. Camp was newly built, tents were spacious, nicely furnished. We enjoyed stay there very much as we were right in the middle of nature, with hyenas in very short distance, lions roaring all the night in bush and amazing sunset. And the best of all was our guide Joseph. Entusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable funny guy who was able to answer all our questions, who managed to find all animals for us we wanted to see, he always parked jeep in order that we have the best view to animals and he adjusted everyday our programme to our wishes. Thanks to all these wonderful people we already decided to come again and through the same agency.

Accommodations issues, saved only by a great driver
If you book with Peak Season Africa Safaris, do not trust their "free upgrades"—it is likely a trick to cut costs and downgrade your stay. Check all their recommendations on booking and google.
Steven will be replying fast and confident but it's all a selling pitch.
We booked for 9 days, 11k USD safari, around 6months in advance. Right after sending prepayment, we were told our desired lodge was unavailable and were offered "upgrades at no extra cost". We were explicitly promised Deluxe Rooms at Mara Sweet Acacia in writing. Instead, we were dumped into their absolute worst, filthy tents (1-2 star quality at best). Only after aggressive escalation were we moved to mediocre cottages—still nowhere near the Deluxe standard we paid for and agreed on.
Mara Sweet Acacia is a total 3-star tourist trap falling apart at the seams: broken kettles, showerheads barely working at 30% pressure, towels on dusty shelves and overall walls looking like from third world.
Emayian had nice food, style and service, but the wind noise in the tents made sleep impossible. Only Kibo Camp in Amboseli delivered what was expected.
The Bright Spot: Patrick
The driver, Patrick, was knowledgeable, skilled, and worked hard to give us a great game-viewing experience. He deserves all the praise, but he cannot fix a dishonest agency approach.
Summary
The agency sold us high-end promises and pocketed the difference by booking inferior sweet accacia lodge while advertising it as 5* upgrade.

Best game drive operator for your first safari experience
KelvinMimi was our driver and guide on our 7-day safari. Within minutes of meeting him, I could tell he was an excellent driver who instilled a sense of safety and reliability behind the wheel—something that is important in Kenya. After the first day, I saw the passion he has for wildlife and how he shares that enthusiasm with his passengers. He was always looking for the best viewing angle and the perfect shot, making the most of every last minute to spot even more animals. On top of all that, he has a great sense of humor.
If I go on safari in Kenya again, it will undoubtedly be with Kelvin Mimi.

Great experience!
We were on a 5 day safari trip to maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha och hell's gate national park with John as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and went out of his way to make sure that we saw all of the big five and that we had the best experience as possible. Highly recommend him as your guide if you want a fun and memorable adventure!

Adventure of a Lifetime
My mum and I booked a 7-day safari in Kenya with Edwin Safaris, with Peter as our contact in the office. We compared several companies, and Edwin Safaris was by far the quickest to respond and offered us the best price. From the very beginning, everything was easy and well organised.
Our safari guide was also called Peter (a different Peter from the one in the office), and honestly, he was the best guide we could have asked for! If you have the possibility, I would highly recommend specifically asking for him. His eyes are incredible, he somehow manages to spot animals that we would never have seen ourselves, even when they were hiding in the grass or far away.
One of the best pieces of advice Peter gave us was to get up early and start our game drives around 6:00 am. And I cannot recommend this enough! If you want to see the Big Five and especially the cats, listen to Peter and get up early, it is absolutely worth it!
We were incredibly lucky and saw all three big cats: lions, leopards and cheetahs, multiple times! And not just from far away. We saw them incredibly close up. In the early morning, the cats are active, hunting and moving around. Once the sun gets higher and the temperatures rise, they become much more relaxed and tend to lie around and sleep. So those early morning game drives really made all the difference.
And of course, we also saw the Big Five! Honestly, when we started the trip, I wasn't sure whether we would be lucky enough to see all of them. I never expected that we would have such incredible encounters with so many animals.
All of the hotels and accommodations throughout the safari were fantastic, and everyone we met was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The whole experience exceeded our expectations.
Thank you so much to both Peters and everyone at Edwin Safaris! This was a trip my mum and I will never forget, and without a doubt, the best safari we could have imagined.
If you are thinking about booking a safari in Kenya, I can wholeheartedly recommend Edwin Safaris — and if you can, ask for Peter as your guide! 🦁🐆🐘🦒❤️
