Capable and reactive
Despite a big hole in our tent roof, services provided by WS Safari (one week Kili ascent, Machame route) were professional and satisfactory. 11 crew personnel for two, including an excellent cook and a proficient as well as dedicated guide.

They were excellent drivers, friendly and funny guides and knew clearly what they were talking about
We had a group with young and old people. The drivers/guides were so respectfull to the
elderly people but they also connected so well with the younger kids. The kids loved to be in the car with the drivers Protas and Cosmas. Even now since we are at home they still talk about them.
We got so much information from Protas and Cosmas about the wildlife and we could ask any question at any time. We learned so much from them, they gave us a part of their knowledge.. A big thanks for that.
They took care of us, they made this safari a special trip for our big family.
Bibi and Babu (the grandparents) were so happy during this trip, so thanks again for that!!

Very nice safari with well organized from Nairobi, excellent tent accomodation.
I came to Kenya first time 1980 at the age of 15 to realize a safari dream. Have returned many times and also in my language published books about the animals included many stories and photos from Kenya. Now for the first time I travelled to Amboseli that was very nice experience. The savannahs are teaming with animals and I can just imagine how it would have been some years ago when the big cats would have been more presence and also when the black rhinos existed there. Let´s hope they can return. One of the hightlights was to see so many species grassing together such as a buffalo, a hippo, sebras and wildebeest that they did one morning. I also was surprised to find some gerenuks, the giraffe anthelopes that I thought only were to be find in northern areas around Samburu.

Lake Nakuru - flamingo-less but still worth it
Lake Nakuru suffered flooding in 2012 which has had 2 negative effects; the flamingos have moved on to other rift valley lakes and many of the lakeside roads are now underwater. However new roads have been put in and there is now a large area of interesting flooded acacia forest teeming with birdlife. The park also has hard to see rhinos, scenic woodland, waterfalls, and cliff top vantage points over the lake. Good lodges on the hills overlooking the lake. worth visiting if combined with other national parks.
Relaxing day unwinding after climbing Kilimanjaro
We visited Arusha NP the day after climbing Kili. The journey over from Moshi, where we were based, showed us more of the region, and Arusha NP offered an un-hurried day out. Our guides took us to their favourite spots; we saw many giraffe and zebra, baboons and colobus monkeys. Best treat was seeing Flamingos in a ring 1-3 deep all around big Momela lake. The park is very scenic, especially Ngurdoto Crater, and it would be good to return to see more of it, perhaps by climbing Mt Meru. Arusha NP offers quite a contrast to the almost complete absence of wildlife on Kili!

Review about Kenya by J C Mills Photography
Kenya has a fantastic variety of landscapes, wildlife and birdlife. Some of the popular parks and lodges can get very busy in high season but choose the time of your visit and your accommodation wisely and you will have an unforgettable safari.

Remarkeable experience at a good price. Thanks CUL Tours Team
I am a Ugandan and I knew Stephen from his childhood! My family in law and I booked one week trip to northwestern Uganda Murchison Falls National Park and Cul Tours and Safaris proved to be professional at arranging all aspects of this and were extremely quick in responding to requests for information. They were very helpful in suggesting alternatives to our initial plans. Our driver guide Brian is very knowledgeable, a superb driver and a real pleasure to be with for the whole of the trip. Thanks to Cul Tours and Safaris and I will recommend them to everyone.
Travel date; 10-13th May 2016, 3 days trip to Murchison

Great 1st time Safari Experience!
Everything was perfect, from the communications at the get go, to the payment and the experience and our amazing guide. The only thing I would suggest is AC in the coach and the window being closed on the dusty ride to and from the Safari, it's a bumpy ride! All in all great experience and value for your money!

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by tapaculo99
Wildlife - we had neat views of Rhino as well as lots of Nyala and buffalo.
This park has gorgeous scenery, especially close to the hilltop camp (we were only in Hluhluwe). Amazing long views over the park gave the illusion of being in an alpine zone.
Bush vibe was not really evident - a major road cuts through this park. The main park road is paved and the hilltop camp is fairly fancy.
Birding - quite good here. Highlights included Woolly-necked Storks and an African Harrier-Hawk.
