Africa Alive and with us forever!
My wife and I are in our late seventies and wanted one more great adventure. We chose DANA East African along with our best friends from high school.
The tour was fabulous! We saw the Big Five , the wildebeest crossing the rivers, leopards sleeping in trees, danced with the Mesai, floated over the Mana in a hot air balloon and so much more.
The camps were really four star with the most delightful breakfast and dinner menus. We were always able to keep our families updated at night in very well appointed sleeping quarters.
Truly, the trip of a lifetime.

Very warm, receptive & knowledgeable
Right from the outset, the team was very engaging, very reliable.
We absolutely loved all the scheduled activities and the respective service providers were very receptive, caring and reliable..you didn't have to call twice or do a reminder..if anything they always reached out first. The service was exceptional and well executed.

Efficient and friendly Staff. Highly recommended
We were a group of 4 photographers and we had high expectations regarding the driver that would be provided.
We were out before sunrise and did not return to our lodge until sunset time as we needed to maximize the opportunities to get good photographs.
Ways of Africa made all this possible. Our driver was very knowledgeable, would anticipate the action properly and as a result we got good photos.
We took breakfast and lunch with us, they were provided in boxes and there was always enough to go through the day. Although food was never much of a concern to us.
The lodges were very comfortable and the food was good.
Overall, we had a great experience and I recommend Ways of Africa to anyone looking for a photo safari.

Good
Pros:Emma was fantastic in getting the itenary for our large group of 12 people.
Competitive price. Good hotels and fantastic food were selected.
Biggest drawback: We were provided two vehicles and two drivers for a group of 12 people
Adam was fantastic and the vehicles quality was very good.
Second vehicle provided was of very poor quality..The roof in the front was not opened the first day claiming its not safe as it was not in good condition..
Radio communication was not working hence we were depending entirely on Adams vehicle for navigating to the correct spots..
There was breakdown of the vehicle twice with problem in the same type..we had to spend our valuable game drive time in car garage to fix them.
Thankfully the final breakdown of vehicle happened 100 metres from the airport (our final ride).If this had happened in middle of the game reserve it would have been a big disaster.
Car breakdowns can happen but providing vehicle in substandard quality was not ideal.
Special thanks to Adam for making this trip memorable....

Reliable, responsive, and perfect for first-time safari
We’re a group of 5 girls on our very first trip to Africa, and for some of us, our first safari ever. We were nervous and had no idea who to choose, so we researched and compared the operators with the most reviews. Jocky stood out — and the reviews turned out to be completely true. They were super responsive, responsible, and reliable throughout.
We traveled during peak season, so prices were high and accommodation was tight. There was a small hiccup — the quote we’d been given was no longer available when we went to confirm. But David and his team found us a happy solution, and in the end we all agreed the whole experience was worth the money.
Safety was our biggest concern as an all-girl group, and we felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. We had a private group, which made everything more comfortable. David arranged an amazing guide for us — Michael, who has over two decades of safari experience. It shows. He knows everyone, which means he knows where the animals are, the best spots, and how to catch the interesting sightings. His driving was impressive too — bumpy at times, but the “African massage” was never too rough!
Our jeep was a Land Cruiser with a roof that opens, so we could see clearly and without eating too much dust. Michael struck a perfect balance between sharing his knowledge and letting us simply enjoy nature. He answered all our questions patiently, and you could really feel his love for the land and his animal friends. He always worked to get us a clear view while minimizing disturbance to the wildlife.
Over 3 days and 2 nights, we saw so much: zebras, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest, warthogs, and many kinds of antelope, plus sleeping lions, a cheetah, and several other cats. We didn’t catch the wildebeest crossing the river, but we did see them lined up across the savanna — an unforgettable scene, especially at sunset.
We stayed at Enkorok Mara Camp — a wonderful place. We were put in the new building, in a family room connecting two rooms with a shared common area. Hot showers, great food. We loved it.
Two honest tips: peak season means lots of animals, but also lots of jeeps, so expect crowds around the sightings. And be ready — it gets very dusty!
We couldn’t have asked for a better first safari. Thank you, David and Michael!

A travel agency that welcomes you very reasonably and kindly
I looked into many safari travel agencies through Safari Bookings. Affordable prices were important, but we needed a trustworthy person in charge from booking to the end of the trip.
If you reach out via email, you’ll see that the staff at this travel agency genuinely care about travelers and handle everything from booking to completion with very kind and attentive service.
If you plan to contact various safari operators anyway, be sure to reach out to this travel agency. They will provide the best safari experience and a worry-free trip! 😁

It's very kindness and When I asked questions, the replies were quick
I recently went on a safari tour in Tanzania’s Serengeti and was extremely satisfied with the experience.
Whenever I had questions, the tour company responded very quickly, and the pickup arrangements were perfect.
Despite offering very reasonable prices, the company provided a high-quality safari experience. They were also very open to feedback and said they would take our suggestions into consideration and make improvements where possible.
If you’re considering going on a safari, I highly recommend this tour company!

An unforgettable experience
An unforgettable experience.
We went on a 5-day safari with Matey from Gardenia African Safaris. Matey, the owner of Gardenia African Safaris, is a local operator from Arusha. With Matey, we had a guide who is extremely knowledgeable and knows all the best spots. We were able to experience not only the Big Five but so much more of the African wildlife. It's particularly worth mentioning that the entire process, directly with Gardenia African Safaris and Matey, was absolutely reliable and trustworthy. We made a deposit of approximately 30% directly to Gardenia African Safaris' account and never had any concerns that anything would go wrong.
We highly recommend Gardenia African Safaris.

Amazing experience
We had a wonderful experience with Keshi Tours. Everything was perfectly organized and went exactly according to plan. All our transfers, including hotel pick-ups and drop-offs, were arranged for us, so we didn’t have to worry about anything during our trip.
A special thank you to Eva for being so helpful, communicative and making sure everything was taken care of. We also want to give a big thank you to our driver, Mathias. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and wildlife, and he always did his best to spot interesting species for us. He shared so much information about the animals, nature and the places we visited, and we learned a lot thanks to him.
The whole tour was well organized and definitely worth the money. We felt well looked after from beginning to end and could simply enjoy the experience without having to worry about logistics.
We highly recommend Keshi Tours and would happily travel with them again.
