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.

Nice guide/driver but bad business partner
Really had a wonderful journey with our field guide Mohammed. He is a decent man and an experienced guide. He has a very good skill at driving and he is the guy who can pull you out when the vehicle gets stuck in the mud. He is always happy to help people. Mohammed always tries his best to find animals and solves problems. We have spotted many amazing animals with his help.
BUT, if you don’t want to be asked to pay 120 USD surcharge just one week before your departure even with a contract signed off 2 months ago and pre-payment transferred, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER AGRNT.
Also, we were cheated by a KLA staff. He took us to a local restaurant and charged us 10 USD per person while we found the actual price is just about 2 USD. And this guy shared the additional 8 USD with the restaurant owner and thought we are fools and won’t be able to know. We’re really disappointed with this dishonest behavior.

Cooperative
Eeasy to communicate, fair price, I walk in and book with no problem. But place is not easily found. Any way not a problem.

Good
We had an amazing experience with our guide, Charles. He was caring, attentive, and always did his very best to help us see as many animals as possible. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife throughout the safari.
Charles is very knowledgeable and explained everything in excellent English, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. He shared a lot of interesting information about the animals, their behavior, and the parks.
He was also very responsive to our needs. When one member of our group became ill, Charles immediately helped arrange transportation to the hospital and made sure everything was taken care of. We really appreciated his kindness and support.
He is proactive, drives confidently and efficiently, and always knew where to go to maximize our wildlife sightings. We highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and caring safari guide.

The tour operator delivered everything that was promised. Our guide was punctual, drove with great care, and was highly experienced. He consistently positioned us to be among the first vehicles on every game drive, greatly enhancing our wildlife viewing experience.

Good 10 day safari
We had good communication throughout the booking process and during the entire safari.
They arranged a fantastic 10-day safari for us at a fair price.
During the planning phase, they could have provided a little more seasonal information. For example, they showed photos of millions of flamingos at Lake Natron. While those photos are accurate in December, they are not representative of what you can expect in June, when we traveled.
Our guide could have been a bit more informative and his English could have been better. However, he worked hard to make sure we had a great experience, and thanks to his efforts we saw an impressive variety of wildlife. Overall, we had a very enjoyable safari.
