Fun, safe, adventurous and exciting!
The safari we went on was absolutely incredible. Most importantly - all of the guides were absolutely incredible. Their knowledge about the terrain and animals was impressive, their excitement for our tours was palpable and their energy so fun! We felt so incredibly safe and take. Care of the entire time. They went out of their way to make sure we had drinks, delicious food, charged speakers and anything we needed in the cars. They never rushed us, and took us to the best of the best spots. The cars were comfortable and spacious. I cannot say thank you enough!!

The tour operator was very experienced, cautious, attentive and understanding.
Our operator was Samuel (locals knew him as Kim/Kimani) and he was amazing at his job. Just like him, other drivers Duncan and Nik were amazing people. Samuel had close to 20 years of experience on the job and it was evident with the way he handled each and every situation. He was very well informed about the wildlife, their behaviors, what to expect and what not to expect in the Savannah. He shared his knowledge with us about each and every animal as well as other natural things in the parks. Whatever he didn’t know, he googled and shared everything he learned after we were done pleasing our eyes. He was extremely polite and never disturbing or rushing us.
He explained the plans to us very well, when to meet him, where to meet him, etc. Even our food and accommodation was arranged by him and he always checked with us if we were comfortable with what the hotels offered.
What impressed me the most was his philosophy; slowly but surely. We had long drives between national parks (4-7 hours on the road sometimes) and he was always very careful in his driving. When we travelled through some troublesome parts of towns, he made sure that we had locked our doors and closed our shutters of the vehicle.
We are definitely going back and definitely choosing Savannah Sound Safaris.

Great Experience with a great guide and excellent lodges
We started our experience with the pick-up by our guide Abdul. After providing us with initial information, we headed towards the first park and were able to get a little more sleep before the actual safari started. Abdul had great communication skills, knowing when to explain things and when to just let us enjoy the environment. We always knew before what to expect of the day and the housing, which made the experience even better. The lodges in the parks were amazing, the staff was always friendly, the food was excellent including the food provided for lunch during the tour. We were lucky to see almost all sort of animals including in huge groups. All in all, an amazing experience with great people during the entire trip.

An unforgettable safari experience
Had to book my safari last minute because of my situation but Eva helped me arrange a 5 day tour without hassle. The experience was amazing and the guides I had along all the national park trips had good knowledge about all the animals and where to spot them. Also, Eva constantly communicated with me and followed up about the safari every time. Everything was on time, nothing delayed, guides were super friendly and nice. I would highly recommend Bushlion Adventures to everyone who would like to visit safari adventures in Kenya.
Derrick is the man, he cared about our experience and consistently worked to create a great time.
While the communication before I left for safari was a little inconsistent, from the moment I left on safari it was an incredible journey. My guide Derrick was very relatable and always had something interesting to say about the animals we were seeing. He kept things fun and made everyone in the vehicle feel comfortable. The camps were super cool to stay at, definitely more of an experience than a luxury living experience but it was well worth it. Very cool places and really made me feel like I was in Kenya. I was solo traveling but definitely felt a community at each one of the camps and in the vehicle each day. Thank you Derrick for such a great experience!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Tracey Cook
Lots of animals, but definitely long drive to get there.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Tracey Cook
Not as many animals at Lake Nakuru than Maasi Mara, but worth visiting to see the rhino.

So Much To See
Maasi Mara was fantastic! It was a lot of driving since we left at 4:45 am and didn’t get back until 5 pm. We saw a pride of 13 lions, which was incredible. We saw elephants, giraffe, cheetah, hyenas, ostrich, and lots of herd animals including water buck, Cape buffalo, wildebeest and hippos. The hotel Jambo was excellent, I would recommend. The trip to Maasi Mara was rough, long stretches on poorly paved and dirt roads. We also visited Lake Nakuru and saw rhinoceros, more giraffe and elephants. The trip was great!

Organized, responsive, great value
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Amazing Africa Tours & Safaris— truly a first-class safari from start to finish. Our visit to Nairobi National Park was nothing short of extraordinary and easily one of the highlights of the trip.
Seeing such breathtaking wildlife set against the backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline felt surreal, and thanks to our exceptional guide, we were lucky enough to witness all of the Big Five. Each sighting was unforgettable — from the sheer presence of the lions to the majesty of the elephants and the rare thrill of spotting the rest of these iconic animals up close. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all expectations.
Every detail of the journey was handled with precision and care. The itinerary felt perfectly curated, giving us the ideal balance of adventure and comfort. The level of service, attention to detail, and overall professionalism made the entire experience completely seamless and genuinely luxurious.
If you’re looking for a safari that combines world-class organisation with truly unforgettable wildlife encounters, I cannot recommend Joan from Amazing Africa Tours highly enough to plan for you. This was more than just a trip — it was an experience I will remember forever with my family.

Excellent service, communication, and value
We booked a 4 day/3 night tent safari at Dumela Camp through SafariLife. Johan was awesome in explaining options and helping us decide on the details. Always responsive either through chat or call. The actual camp and drives were operated by MoAfrika. They were great. The transfers were on time. They picked us up in Johannesburg early morning on day 1 and dropped us at Hoedspruit airport near the camp on day 4. Recommend flying in and out of Hoedspruit if you can to avoid the 6 hour road trip from/to Joberg.
The camp had excellent service. The food was good. The tents had private hot showers, toilet, and sink as well as electrical power and lights. Beds were very comfy. We did not use the AC or pool as it was coming into wintertime when we were there.
The camp hosts were engaging and very helpful. Ian was fantastic. The guides were also wonderful, especially Lambs and Great. We did two 3 hour safaris at a nearby private reserve (one afternoon and one morning) and a full day in Kruger. All were fantastic. We also did the full day panorama tour which was beautiful scenery but don’t expect any animals.
