Good organization
The guide (Jackson) was exceptional; he was always looking out for us and helped us see the Big Five and many other animals. The hotels were just okay, and the food was also very mediocre.

Professional, knowledgeable, and made the safari unforgettable.
Visiting Ngorongoro was an unforgettable experience.
We were incredibly lucky to see a male lion almost immediately after entering the crater. Watching him calmly walk across the vast grassland was absolutely breathtaking. It was also fascinating to see the nearby zebras keeping an eye on the lion while calmly continuing to graze.
As we drove further, we saw countless zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, and even a rhino in the distance. Seeing so many different species living freely together in one vast, open grassland was incredibly beautiful.
Having only ever seen animals in zoos before, I was deeply moved by the experience. There were no fences or separate areas — just wild animals naturally sharing the same land. I remember thinking, “So this is what nature really is,” and honestly, I almost cried.
Peter, our guide and driver, was excellent. He drove safely and gave us interesting and informative explanations throughout the safari, which made the experience even more meaningful.
It truly felt like an animal paradise. I would absolutely recommend Ngorongoro to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of wildlife and nature.

Impossible not to recommend Genius for your Kilimanjaro climb!
From the very beginning, we felt like we had become part of a real family. We decided to take on the challenge as a family of five, and thanks to the entire Genius team, we were able to complete the climb safely while creating unforgettable memories.
From the porters, whose work is both incredibly demanding and inspiring, yet who always had a smile on their faces and a kind word to share, to the moments when they would even come back down to help carry our backpacks after reaching the next camp — their dedication was truly remarkable.
A special mention also goes to our chef, Eric, who prepared absolutely delicious and nourishing meals throughout the trek. Even at high altitude, when our appetites were not always at their best, his food was genuinely something to look forward to!
Our guides, Godifrey, Saimon and Gilbert were equally exceptional. Their professionalism, sense of responsibility, knowledge, attention and devotion, to detail made us feel safe and well looked after throughout the entire climb. We were especially impressed by the care they showed whenever one of us was feeling unwell. On one occasion, one of the guides even went back down with a member of our group who was struggling with altitude sickness to make sure he was safe.
It is truly thanks to their support, encouragement, motivation and optimism that we made it to the summit. They pushed us far beyond what we thought we were capable of and never stopped believing in us, even when the climb became very difficult.
And then there were all the songs they sang along the way — “Jambo Bwana” will probably be stuck in our heads forever! — as well as all the words of encouragement that pushed us far beyond what we thought we were capable of.
The Kilimanjaro climb was an incredible experience, and Genius played a huge part in making it so special.
A very special and heartfelt thank you to Godifrey, who organised everything with us from France and made us feel like a true rafiki from our very first exchanges. He was always there to support us, both during the good moments and the more difficult ones, and made the whole experience feel personal from the very beginning.
Asante Sana Genius, for everything. We strongly recommend this company, and we will definitely be back!

They are very responsive and efficient.
Our safari went very well. The itinerary was followed to the letter, with no delays. Daniel, our guide, was attentive, friendly, patient, and above all, he made sure we got the most out of our stay. I highly recommend them.

Best experience
I joined a 6-day safari tour covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli.
There was quite a lot of driving between the destinations, but it was definitely worth it. Seeing a wide variety of animals, including the Big 5, as well as the spectacular views of Kilimanjaro, made this an unforgettable experience for me.
Our driver-guides, Jimmy and Jackson, were always professional and did their best to make sure our group had the best possible experience.

Seamless planning and service
Tania helped us arrange a great 2D1N trip to Chobe and was very helpful in customising our itinerary based on our needs. The itinerary went off without a hitch and there was seamless coordination between MoAfrika and the lodge. Highly recommend MoAfrika for your next trip

Amazing
Majestic Wins was the most amazing experience i have had on a tour. The accommodations were exactly what we wanted, Carla paid such close attention to the details of what was important to us, to assure we got exactly what we wanted. The guides went above and beyond, to make sure we got everything that was expected. We spotted the big 5 on our saffari, and that made this trip the most memorable trip and gratifying experience we have had. I highly recommend this company and will be using them again hopefully in the near future

An Unforgettable Safari
Our 14-day Kenya safari was an unforgettable experience, and John was a big part of what made it so special.
It has been one week since we returned, but apparently I’m still wearing my Safari filter. 😂 The wide golden plains of California now remind me of the African savanna, and every distant mountain somehow looks like Kilimanjaro.
What impressed us most about John was the thought and strategy behind his game drives. Finding wildlife is not simply a matter of luck. He knew how to read the landscape, animal behavior, tracks, weather, and information from other guides, and used all of these clues to decide where to go, when to wait, and when to move on.
We were also impressed by John’s deep respect for wildlife and safety. He always kept a respectful distance while skillfully positioning our vehicle for good light and photography without putting unnecessary pressure on the animals.
During the 14 days, we learned so much about wildlife, birds, and plants as well as about ecosystems, geography, and Maasai culture. John was always happy to answer our questions, and he helped us notice the small things we might otherwise have missed, from an interesting tree to a tiny termite mound.
We also enjoyed talking with him during the long drives about Kenya’s history, culture, and current events. He clearly takes pride in being Kenyan, and it was interesting to see Kenya from his perspective.
One day, John took us to have lunch under a Balanites tree. It was just a packed lunch under a tree in the middle of the savanna, but it became one of those simple moments I will remember.
Thank you, John, for sharing your Kenya with us and making our safari such a wonderful experience. And thank you to Sunnycreek for organizing this unforgettable journey.
Five stars for John and Sunnycreek! 🇰🇪🐦
And yes, the Safari filter is still on. 😂

Exceptional service, unforgettable experience, once in a lifetime with a great guide.
Our 3 day gorilla trek tour with Beyond Travel was such an amazing trip. Ahmed was very attentive and willing to assist with any questions we had from the moment we reached out about the tour. His communication and organisation were perfect.
Our guide/driver Noah was such a good guide and a pleasure to travel with for 3 days. Always laughing, sharing stories and information. Nothing was too big of an ask for him.
The tour itself was one of the most authentic and pure experiences we have ever encountered in our travels. From driving through local regions in Rwanda and Uganda. Taking in the everyday life of locals to the gorilla experience itself. Nothing is staged, you trek in the jungle to find your groups assigned gorilla family. Your guide can inform the trekking rangers whether you want a short, intermediate or long trek to the gorillas. We chose intermediate and were trekking for an hour. Once found you have one hour and have to wear a face mask.
Overall a wonderful experience. Before the tour we only thought of Uganda to see gorillas. After the tour, we realise there is so much more to see in Uganda and it would be wonderful to return and do a longer tour with Beyond Travel.
