Review about Nairobi National Park by Yolanda Moerkens
When you stay a few days in Nairobi this is nice to visit. You can also visit the Sheldrick elephant orphanege as the government made it like this, only possible to visit the orphanege through Nairobi NP, what isn't so good for the orphanege

Remarkable experience
My husband, daughter and I enjoyed our 3-night Tented Safari very much. The Lodge facility was very clean and comfortable, although excruciatingly hot. The saving grace was the pool which is not large but provided the essential ability to cool down.
The mokoru was a little disappointing - we had all anticipated it bringing us closer to the wildlife but it turned out not to be so. However we saw hippos and some other game, and the full day driving safari at Moremi was incredible. We saw such a variety of beautiful wildlife and loved every moment.
The Guides were all very knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel safe. The Lodge staff were also friendly and helpful. I would have liked more information on tipping the staff/guides as we were not well equipped with cash and the staff depend on tips more than we realised.
The refreshments and water were plentiful and of a good standard.
We had a wonderful time and would recommend it.

All's well that ends well
We booked our Tanzanian Safari by Wilson Tanspirit. There should be a better communication before starting and it would be nice to consider some wishes of the client but at the end everything was alright.
The safari was at least really well organized especially we had an excellent guide and driver (Jeff). The lodges (***/****) were nice, the staff was always friendly and the meals really good. We have never seen so many animals before and the migration at Mara River was exciting. Thank you to our guide Jeff who had an built-in radar for predators

Great 10 day safari!!
Good value for money. We did a 5 day tour in Kenya ... excellent!!! And a 5 day tour in Tanzania, honestly preferred Kenya but Tanzania was very good. The big problem was the jeep in Tanzania kept breaking down ... very poor show here and no excuse...this operator was called 7 wonders ... AVOID THIS COMPANY!!! There are plenty of other.

Gerald 100%
Gerald: Gerald's boundless energy and sense of humor was a delightful touch to the adventure. His extensive knowledge of Kenya's wildlife was impressive, and he consistently led us to the most captivating animal sightings.
Throughout the tour, Gerald expertly balanced excitement and safety, ensuring an exhilarating yet secure experience. His navigation skills were top-notch, allowing us to explore the terrain efficiently. From witnessing the magnificent Maasai Mara wildlife to the serene beauty of Nakuru, the tour provided unforgettable moments. Thanks to Gerald, this safari became an unforgettable journey filled with nature's wonders.
Axis: In terms of communication, the response time was good, although there could be room for improvement, especially when it comes to updating their listings. There are recent changes at the Maasai Mara National Park entrance, and it would be helpful if such updates were reflected in their information.
When it comes to value for money, this tour is quite budget-friendly, which is a definite plus. However, it would be beneficial if they could provide clearer guidelines on tipping and the Maasai tipping expectations to ensure a smoother experience for travelers.

Great driver and agenda but they may overcharge you for small things
Pro
- The driver I had was amazing. He knows all the spots and makes the journey smooth
- Their written communication via email is good. They always reply within a few hours
- You can basically join any time, no need to reserve a week in advance
Con
- I’ve found the in-person communication to be not sincere, as I got overcharged in person and it feels like they’d take any opportunity to earn extra money from me
- The agenda includes fixed time at shopping area, and people can easily feel forced to buy things

Good outfit I would recommend
I enjoyed my three night stay at Bakungba Lodge. It’s close to Johannesburg and is not a malaria area. Since some people come from Joburg for the weekend you will have fewer people around during the week if you prefer that.Make your game drive reservations right after you check in. You will get a seat assignment.
