Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Lazar Bazlyankov
Great place, huge, many animals. We saw lions, buffalo (several millions of these), chita, crocodiles, hippos, wild pigs in many sizes, etc. Very well preserved, magnificent place.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Lazar Bazlyankov
The scenery is magnificent, we were able to see white rhinos from small distance, lions, and all the other animals were literally within a hand reach. Birds are endless, spectacular. The area close to this national park is very clean and tidy, especially Naivasha town. It seems people there have more work and income, nobody was pushing us to buy rubbish, very nice place.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Lazar Bazlyankov
Kilimanjaro was in clouds, so missed the main goal of our visit there; we've already seen the animals in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru

Warm, wonderful and welcoming
What can I say? We were well looked after from start to finish. We were treated well, and kindly. The people were open, friendly and the scenario and safari very special.

tanzania is a wonderful and friendly place to visit
I went during the January "short rains" period and had great weather, never got rained on. I went with Shemeji Safari Tanzania on a 10 day private safari, just me, my excellent guide Muktar (highly recommended) and out Land Cruiser. We went to several national parks and saw new and wonderful wildlife and sights each day.

It was a wonderful experience to drive through the parks, seeing the beautiful views and the beautif
We had a wonderful safari. Stunning views and wildlife. The driver was very friendly and a skilled driver. He often spotted wildlife for us and ensured we got really close to the lions and cheetahs. The locations were beautiful, with views of the Serengeti twice. We usually slept in a lovely, spacious tent with private bathrooms. The food was delicious, always a buffet with plenty of choice.

Tanzania is expensive, if you take part on a safari tour, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
We went with makini tanzania expeditions. They are really good, you can trust. We made a seven-days tour, what means 6 overnight stays. First and last day were in the arusha area, 5 days were in national parks like tarangire, serengeti (2 days), ngorongoro and lake manyara. The game drives lasted von early morning to sun down, exept the time, that was necessary for transfer. Whe had a perfect guide, saw many animals. The cook pepared a meal, which was kept warm and served at noon in picnic places, really good and enough. The accomodation were first class, in serengeti and ngorongoro typical in tented lodge, which also had ervery comfort. In the car it was a bit narrow and the roads were rough. We travelled end of january, the so called small dry season and had perfect weather. You shouhd bring some dollars in cash for tipps. It is also save, to pay the whole safari in cash ($), because you are picked up at the airport, a driver brings you to the hotel and to makini office. We payed by visa card and had to pay about 100 $ fee, which could have been avoided.

Marvelous wildlife, terrible slums and trash everywhere
We visited 3 national parks - Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. It was a 6-day safari, well organised, jeep travel. The driver was also our guide and Jackson was a very experienced and knowledgeable guy. The thing which we did not take into account in advance was that travel distances are quite big and rather tiresome. Inside the national parks roads are dirty (red all-sticking dust) and very uneven, while the riding lasts 6 to 7 hours. Between the parks distances are 200-300 km or more, some parts of these also on dirty roads. In 2 words - lots of jeep riding. This, plus early wake-ups (5:30 am) to catch the rhythm of the animals equals to tiredness. People should be prepared for this - we were not, which was our fault only. Nothing to do with the guide and the company. For those seeking to observe lots of birds and some animals, I'd suggest going to Nakuru only; for elephants - Amboseli is the perfect place.
We slept in so called "budget" accommodations - a hotel in Nakuru and tents in the other 2 parks. Tents were spacious, something like 30 sq.m. with private toilet and a shower stand, comfortable beds, etc. Mosquitos are endless and invisible, be prepared. The food was basic but tasty, only lunch boxes were rather boring - every day there was 1/4 of fried chicken. In general - great experience, fascinating wildlife, everybody pushes you to give away some money ... walking wallets syndrome.

Fantastic experience
Moses and the team have been fantastic from the get go, excellent about communicating with us and ensuring everyone was on the same page. We had the best time in Tanzania and that was all thanks to our guides, porters, and Moses. We are so grateful for the experience and cannot recommend Kiliclimb enough!!
