Amazing safari with an experienced bird and other wildlife guide
Jackson is incredible!!!!! Not only does he know all of the other tour guides (which came in so handy) he kept us so safe and informed during the post- election danger in Arusha. He is well studied in all things anthropology, wildlife, and most importantly to us- birds!! He helped us identify 60 unique species on a 5 day trip. I will recommend him until my face turns blew, so happy with his kindness, caring, security, and dependability. A true professional. If you are worried about the current political unrest, do not be. It does not affect tourist and Jackson will keep you so so safe the whole time. His pricing was the best too- really amazing value for his skills. Can’t wait to go again some day and recommend him to all of my friends

Would highly recommend Shayona- outstanding service from planning the safari - would give them 6 🌟s
The whole experience was great - thanks to Shayona. Ritesh and Ajay helped plan the trip, which was very well organised. Our driver Dharminder was really good,, reliable and accommodating. He went an extra mile for us to see all the wildlife. We even saw a cheetah kill.
Would highly recommend Shayona - good value for money and a great experience

Well planned and well executed with top notch local knowledge.
We travelled with Gosheni on our 12 day trip through Masaai Mara, Serengeti and Tarangire - it was an absolutely once in a lifetime trip, the things we heard, saw and experienced were unparalleled. The awesome Gosheni guides we had were superb and the knowledge of the ground they had about the wildlife and vegetation were truly impressive. Many thanks to Bariki and Herman for their expert guidance and care. I highly recommend Bariki, Herman and the Gosheni team for your safari trip.

I felt completely safe and secure throughout the entire trip！
As a solo traveler, safety was my top concern. The designer of my custom itinerary patiently addressed all my questions，from safety and accommodation to weather，without a hint of impatience. The deciding factor was discovering the agency's dual-base operation: an office in China and their own ground team in Kenya. With fluent Chinese and English staff ensuring seamless communication, I felt a true "double guarantee" of support.
My choice was vindicated beyond expectation. The actual experience was extraordinary:
Perfectly Paced Itinerary: This was no rushed, checklist tour. The rhythm was masterful: morning game drives during peak wildlife activity, returning to a comfortable camp to avoid the midday heat, and setting out again refreshed in the afternoon.
Immersive Accommodation: The tented lodge was a highlight, striking the ideal balance between modern comfort and raw, untamed ambiance—falling asleep to the distant calls of the wild was pure magic.

Fun, inclusive and fulfilling experience.
From start to finish, the team understood the assignment. inclusive, responsive, and serving top-tier customer care like pros! Suswa was a whole mood with fun-packed activities, room to vibe your way, and food so good it deserved its own standing ovation. 10/10 would ride again!

Amazing Safari Experience
We planned our first trip to Africa with The Mara Wanderlust and it was one of the best ever experiences we have ever had. We bumped into The Mara Wanderlust ad when searching for safari packages online and filled the online form.
Their safari specialist, Vincent, helped us plan the 8 day safari in Kenya. We were able to learn alot about the attractions in Kenya and so make informed choices on the places we would love to visit.
Being in different time zones, I appreciated him being responsive sometimes at odd hours on their end. No message went unanswered for more than 30 minutes.
And when we touched down in Nairobi, we were treated to a wonderful surprise. A gift hamper with special items to help make our stay in Kenya enjoyable.
The hotels we were booked were amazing. From the house in Nairobi all the way to Shaba. The camp in Mara was the best, Andbeyond Kichwa Tembo. I would definitely go back there, next time.
The driver guide, James, was also knowledgeable about the wildlife and very kind. He made the safari experience wonderful.
We would definitely recommend The Mara Wanderlust as your go to agency for Kenya Safaris.

Great owner Paul and our great guide Paul, very impressive trip to Kenya
Of the ten safari operators I contacted through Safari Booking, Ways of Africa stood out immediately. The owner, Paul, was especially responsive. He patiently customized our itinerary, provided clear explanations, and offered a fair price. When my first flight was delayed and I arrived a day late, Paul quickly rearranged the plans so that I could catch up with my group.
Our guide, also named Paul, was excellent—a very skilled driver who was a bit shy but very knowledgeable. He kept the vehicle spotless every day. Despite the broken walkie-talkie in the vehicle, Guide Paul managed to communicate sightings by phone. We saw the Big Five, witnessed hunts and feeding—I don't think we missed anything (hopefully we six Chinese girls weren't too loud!). One small suggestion: It would help if the radio were fixed for smoother animal tracking.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I will surely recommend Ways of Africa to my friends.
