Surreal
The tour was an exhilarating experience especially if you love nature. The tour guide was educating us about the animals as we came into interaction with them or spot them. She was also very friendly, kind and thoughtful she gave us blankets in the morning as it was cold.

Animals and landscapes
We spent three weeks in Botswana and it was a very nice experience for the safaris and various park visits.
It’s very contrasted, there are no one in certain places, for example in the Kalahari, and far too many people in Kasane, for example, where we were disappointed by the Safaris.
The people are pleasant overall.
Extremely professional, easy to communicate with and reliable
Our safari with Gemfinders was amazing! From start to finish they were very easy to communicate with. Over WhatsApp and email they were very attentive to any requests, providing a lot of options and catering to all of our needs anytime we mentioned specific requirements such as hotels, activities and food. Once the booking was made, we didn’t have to worry about anything. Everything was seamlessly organised. Once we were picked up on day one by our driver Samson we had nothing to worry about. One negative was the seatbelts weren’t in great shape. Once that was communicated to Gemfinders they were extremely quick to rectify that and service the belts by the next morning. Given we spent so much time in the car (more than half the safari was spent in the car, travelling) it didn’t feel like that at all as we were very comfortable. Every single day was planned so throughly and we were told at the start and end of each day the plan. We managed to see the big 5 and every day was so magical. Value for money was great, I reached out to many providers and I found them to be well priced compared to others. The tour was well organised and so much fun. Would definitely go with Gemfinders again on a safari.

Whole week of fun
The whole trip was very good from the beginning to the end. Our guide Tribon was flexible to accommodate everyone's wishes and was also very knowledgeable about all animals, which he could spot for us easily. We were able to see everything you can imagine, including the big 5. Good value for money by mixing medium and higher end accommodations.
On top of all, we shared endless number of jokes with Tribon and our fellow travelers. Had a very fun week.

Review about Nairobi National Park by Ernie Ginting
Home for black rhinos. Compared to Maasai Mara, Amboseli and lake Nakuru, less numbers of wildlife appeared. But this is also a home for Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage where we can meet orphaned elephants and see how the conservation going well in Kenya.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Ernie Ginting
Lake Nakuru is home for rhinos. But we could not see flamingos - as it should be - because the level water of the lake was high
An amazing journey across the Savannah
Our journey across the different wildlife parks have been excellent mainly due to our driver Samwel (comes highly recommend).
The tour itself, between the Safari car, destinations and guide have been outstanding.
We have mixed reviews regarding accommodations. Mainly due to last minute changes to this to less than desirable lodges than was originally advertised. Communication regarding this has been poor and last minute. However everything leading up to our trip has been excellent.
We would recommend Serengeti Silence overall as some of these issues are out of their hands.
