Eric from Day 2 Day Tours and Safaris was absolutely amazing, and we had a fantastic game tour at Nairobi National Park! Eric did everything possible (and seemingly impossible) to help us spot a lion — and we did! Communication was excellent from start to finish, the service was reliable, and the value for money was great.
We also visited the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre, both of which I highly recommend. It made for a wonderful, well-rounded day.
If you choose Day 2 Day Tours and Safaris, you’re in good hands — and if Eric is your guide, you’re doubly lucky!

An unforgettable safari experience in Kenya – highly recommended
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya and would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a trip.
From the very beginning, everything was well organized. On the first day, they picked us up from our hotel early in the morning, helped us with our luggage, and made the whole process very smooth. Since we hadn’t had breakfast yet, they kindly took us to Java House before we officially started the journey. It was a small gesture, but it immediately made us feel welcomed and well taken care of.
After that, we met our guide and driver, Dennis Koome Kithinji, and our safari adventure officially began.
Our first destination was Maasai Mara. Even though we only arrived in the afternoon, we immediately got lucky and witnessed a pride of lions hunting a buffalo. It was one of the most incredible wildlife moments we have ever experienced.
What really stood out was how Dennis handled the situation. Instead of staying in one place, he repositioned the vehicle four different times so we could watch the hunt from several amazing angles. At one point, we were only about one meter away from the lions. It was thrilling, unforgettable, and something we will never experience anywhere else. On our very first day, we had already seen three of Africa’s Big Five animals.
The second day was a full-day game drive in Maasai Mara, and it was equally impressive. We saw leopards, cheetahs, and even lion cubs. Since we had arrived in Kenya very early the previous day and were still tired from traveling, Dennis kindly let us leave a little later than originally planned so we could get some extra rest.
One thing we appreciated throughout the entire trip was that we never felt rushed. Every time we stopped to watch animals, Dennis would ask if everyone was happy with their photos before moving on. He never made us feel like we were just trying to check animals off a list.
His ability to spot wildlife was also incredible. Many times, he would point at an animal far away, and it would still take us several seconds before we could finally see it ourselves. Without him, we definitely would have missed a lot of amazing sightings.
On the third day, we headed to Lake Nakuru. We wanted to buy some souvenirs, so Dennis arranged a stop at a souvenir shop and gave us plenty of time to browse without any pressure. Throughout the entire trip, there was never any feeling of being forced to shop, which we really appreciated.
Lake Nakuru was beautiful and relaxing, and we saw many different bird species.
Later, we visited Amboseli National Park, where we saw huge herds of elephants everywhere. One of the highlights was watching large male elephants cross the road right in front of us. Instead of simply following other safari vehicles, Dennis often anticipated where the animals would appear and positioned us at the best locations ahead of time. We were already waiting at the perfect spot when the elephants arrived, giving us incredible views and amazing opportunities for photos and videos.
By the end of the trip, it honestly felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a guide.
A safari in Kenya is already a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but having someone who genuinely cares about your experience makes a huge difference.
Thank you to the entire team for organizing everything so smoothly, and a special thank you to Dennis Koome Kithinji for making this trip truly unforgettable.
If we come back to Kenya for another safari in the future, we would definitely choose this company again and would absolutely ask for Dennis as our guide.

Insightful and Professional
We had the privilege of having White Plains safari take us through Lake Nakuru National Park with a large group. Our driver, Joseph, had such great insight and instinct in the park knowing exactly when to stop and where to point to highlight wildlife. Joseph shared great insights into habits, fun facts and other interesting facts during our safari to make the experience that much more enjoyable and memorable. Joseph was also kind, thoughtful and joyful as he seemed to enjoy watching our enthusiasm. I highly recommend White Plains Safari!

Tman was an excellent tour guide, very informative and funny
This tour was amazing. We saw elephants, giraffes, Rhinos, Hippos, Warthogs and more. Tman was very helpful, explaining all of the wildlife and history. I had a great time. The hotel transfer was smooth and worth the price of the ticket. You won’t regret marking this off your bucket list!

Exceptional Planning, Flexibility and Photography-Focused Advice
I had a fantastic experience working with Kuda to organise my photography trip to Victoria Falls.
From our very first conversations, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and flexible in helping me build a highly customised itinerary. As a photographer, I had very specific requirements that went beyond a standard tourist experience, and Kuda took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and adapt the trip accordingly.
His local knowledge and advice were invaluable, whether it was recommending the best locations and viewpoints, discussing camera gear and photography opportunities, or helping me navigate practical details such as transport and train schedules. Throughout the planning process, communication was excellent, and I always felt well informed and supported.
Kuda also coordinated all the logistics smoothly and connected me with trusted local partners, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. He was friendly, kind, professional, and genuinely invested in ensuring I had the best possible experience.
I would highly recommend Kuda to anyone looking for a personalised and well-organised trip, especially photographers seeking something beyond the usual tourist itinerary.

Small dedicated team
Our 3 pax group booked a 6-day Marangu Route trek and a 5D safari game drive with Nafika Tours.
Elias did very well in this regard and he had planned the entire experience for our small private group. Elias was in constant communication with us before our arrival into Tanzania and he greated us at our hotel upon arrival.
The Trek: Summiting Kilimanjaro. Our 6-day trek on the Marangu Route was a success. Backed by a great crew. Our guides, Eli and assistant guide Nemes were knowledgeable, and attentive especially during our day of summit. A special shoutout goes to our most beloved Alpha, our waiter, who keep us fueled and comfortable.
Our porters (Patrick, Peter Parker, Dula) and "Peter the cook" with the rest of the support team worked seamlessly behind the scenes.
The Safari: Checking Off the Big Five. Our same group transitioned to a 5D safari game drive led by our guide, Kevin. Kevin has a great eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw the entire Big Five.
Even better, four out of the five encounters were incredibly close proximity, making for great photos and memories.
Kudos to the team at Nafika Tours!

Excellent Tour
We did a 14-day trip with Ngorongoro Tours LTD and they were there for us from start to finish. The entire experience was very well organized – from the accommodations to the logistics, everything ran smoothly. Michael, our personal guide, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to share insights about the places we visited. Our journey took us through Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Mburo, Murchison Falls, and Kibale. We had unforgettable encounters with chimpanzees in Kibale and later with gorillas – both absolutely breathtaking experiences. Ngorongoro Tours a fantastic job, and we truly felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a seamless and memorable African adventure.

Well organised, excellent flexible execution
To safe time the safari was booked as a fly in and drive back to meet my specific requirements and interests. I had to change the itinerary completely last minute due to flight issues and Samson's Safaris team was excellent in providing a tailored solution promptly without compromising on quality or breadth of the original itinerary.
My assigned driver Sam was funny and a great road companion throughout while making every effort to maximise return on my time and he managed to find the big cats I was eager to see.
Big thank you to Sam and Stacey for a great trip.
