Provide a well organised programme and a great trip but clearly some background politics involved
We had a really great trip with Salina Adventures, saw a lot more wildlife than we were expecting and were for the most part impressed by the organisation. Henry was very good at communicating the latest updates to bookings etc. in the build up and gave us a lot of confidence in the quality of the trip before we arrived in Kenya. The hotels we stayed at were incredible and really made the trip feel like a luxury safari, so full credit to Henry for arranging those. Both of the guides we had (Peter and Simon) were good at finding the animals and were keen to take on board and adapt to our interests and what we were most keen to see and experience. Whilst there were some minor negatives to our experience (see below) the vast majority of the trip was well run and enjoyable and we would definitely recommend Salina to others, again bearing in mind the downsides below.
The only downsides were that almost none of the on-route game drives that were advertised actually happened, so worth just taking the programme Salina provides with a pinch of salt. Also, our guide was changed from Peter to Simon half way through the trip which was not communicated to us by Salina and there was clearly some politics going on it the background because both guides were then trying to take us and it was quite an unpleasant experience to be caught in the middle.

Amboseli was great. Nairobi not so much
Loved it at Amboseli, even outside the national park there were plenty of animals and Kilimanjaro was amazing too see. Nairobi is a busy city…not our vibe but a necessary stop on the way

BaVuma was dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience and meeting all our needs.
The BaVuma WildQuest staff communicated frequently with What’sApp and email, provided great lodging each night of our safari journey and brought wonderful guides to show us the parks, preserves and conservancies. They were both knowledgeable and entertaining. We loved Ian and Ludovick and how
focused they we’re on our adventure being memorable. We are glad we experienced the NYSSA balloon safari with BaVuma’s help, but it is a
Part of the trip we might have eliminated to have a little more down
time.
Payment for the Safari was handled by a wire transfer, and that is one of the things we would have preferred to be different. I would have appreciated earning mileage or points on my card instead of transferring funds. We were able to use a secure link for the balloon
safar and earn points. The cost of the adventure, however, was reasonable for the experience of visiting Masa Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our Kenyan portion of the trip was without vehicle issues, but we did have a couple of maintenance issues that were resolved on the Tanzania segment. Overall we were satisfied with the experience and would use this company again.

Amazing safari tour with friendly and cheerful guide
I loved every moment of it. The guide was funny, had answers to every question and did everything to make the best out of it.
The operations were really smooth. The only thing that could be better is some renewal of equipment. Our truck had seen better days and was very noisy and shaky, especially in the back.

Memories That will Last a life-time
Our safari was unforgettable! The team at Nature Crown Safaris Limited went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Our guide was punctual, patient, and knew exactly where to find the animals. We felt safe, well taken care of, and learned so much about Kenya's wildlife and culture. This was a trip we'll always remember, and we would happily book with them again.

Good communication and you have an maximum safari experience
We had an early morning gamedrive in the Nairobi park. The pickup at our hotel was right on time. A short drive to the park for the Safari. We saw a lot of animals and the guide took the time to explain a lot to us.
