A fantastic journey to the East African savannah and Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.
Communications:
The transportation arrangements were excellent. We were provided with a seamless transfer upon arrival on day one, and our guide dropped us off at the airport/hotel at the end of the trip, making the logistics completely worry-free. The Land Cruiser we traveled in can seat up to 7 people, but it was rarely full. This meant we often had extra space, which made the long drives much more comfortable. Furthermore, the vehicle was in great condition and ran flawlessly throughout our 8-day journey.
Service:
We couldn't have asked for a better guide than John Walter. He is not only a very nice person but also a true professional with more than ten years of experience, which he used to create many exciting and memorable experiences for us. His driving was impeccable—always smooth and predictably safe, as he never felt the need to make risky maneuvers on the road. The campsite staff matched his kindness, offering a warm welcome and helping us with our bags upon arrival.
Value for money：
We opted for the budget safari package and were pleasantly surprised by its overall value. All meals were included throughout the trip, and the food was consistently tasty and ample—so no one ever went hungry. The camps were excellent for the price, reliably providing hot water and maintained to a clean, safe, and secure standard. One of the biggest perks was the location; each camp was just a quick 10-minute drive from the park gates, which meant we had more time for safari and less time wasted on the road. For the price, it's an incredible deal!. All things considered, this package offers excellent value for money.
Tour：
Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli were absolute highlights, each offering unique and unforgettable moments. We spent three days in the Masai Mara, where we were thrilled to witness lions mating, feeding, and a pride of adorable cubs, alongside a massive herd of giraffes. Lake Nakuru gifted us with sightings of both black and white rhinos. The spectacle continued in Amboseli, where we observed a cheetah hunt, vast elephant herds, and the stunning snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro. Every location was incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring. Our guide, John, greatly enriched the experience by sharing his knowledge about animal behavior, making the entire safari both educational and immensely enjoyable.

The animals are great, people are nice, tours are ok
The only advantage of an all-inclusive tour group is that you don't have to arrange everything yourself, but that’s the only good.
As an average daily itinerary of 200usd, with buses still being used between cities, the hotel in Nairobi is very old and dirty. This is obviously not worth it at all.
And almost every day, people in the car were changing. They try to fill the entire vehicle as much as possible. So you need to wait sometimes.
The worst part is that the plan is fixed. Even if there are no animals in this place at this season, we still can't change anything.
Although traveling independently in Kenya is not that easy, I would definitely choose to travel independently next time.

Passionate and full of knowledge about the wildlife of the area!
Out of the whole trip to South Africa, this safari and the whole experience including the accommodation was the biggest highlight by a long shot. First the communication was flawless and Keegan and our hosts at Ashbourne county estate were genuine and lovely people that clearly showed enjoyment and passion for their jobs.
The tour itself was incredible we saw the big five and so much more, we saw an incredible range of amazing birds too and the truck we were in was really new, clean, and comfortable, it made it really easy to see the animals!
Thank you again Keegan and Carla! Hope to be back again.

“More than a guide, a brother who made our safari an unforgettable experience.”
An unforgettable experience — 10/10 safari
We went on a safari through Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara, and from the very first moment Benja made the trip truly extraordinary. His communication was flawless — always attentive, clear, and fluent in both English and Spanish, which made everything smooth and enjoyable.
The service was exceptional, far beyond our expectations. Every detail was perfectly organized: from the itinerary planning to the best stops for spotting wildlife. You could feel Benja’s passion and experience in every explanation, always eager to share his knowledge about the animals and local culture.
The value for money was unbeatable. We enjoyed a personalized, authentic experience — never rushed, never crowded — just pure adventure and connection with Africa. Benja was reliable, punctual, and always smiling, which made us feel completely safe and cared for.
Thanks to him, the trip was much more than just a safari — it felt like exploring Africa with a great friend by our side. We would recommend Benja to anyone wanting to experience the real Africa.

African Traits is an outstanding tour operator, offering excellent service and great value for money
Our Family Experience with African Traits:
Traveling as a family with two adult sons, we had an exceptional experience with African Traits from start to finish. During the booking process, the team paid close attention to our individual wishes, implementing every requested adjustment promptly and transparently. Even the price changes resulting from these modifications were clearly explained and entirely reasonable.
The support we received was outstanding—not only during booking but also throughout the preparation phase. From detailed packing lists to practical tips and helpful insights, everything was thoughtfully provided. Upon arrival, everything worked exactly as promised. We were met at the airport in the middle of the night, and our safari guide was phenomenal—highly experienced and eager to show us everything we hoped to see.
The accommodations exceeded expectations, matching or surpassing what was shown in the photos. The hotel in Zanzibar was simply amazing. African Traits had been recommended to us by friends, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to others as well. Special thanks to the entire team, especially Godfrey for his excellent support and Benjamin for an unforgettable safari experience. This was truly a remarkable and unique vacation.

Long drives over bad roads, getting very close to the wild animals.
The Land Cruiser was old, but robust and in good condition. Our guide was an excellent driver. He knew not only the roads, but also the animals and plants we encountered. We had all the time we wanted to take photographs. There was always a plentiful supply of drinks, and any drink requests were fulfilled immediately. Wine was always served with dinner, and it was well chilled at our request. The tents for the night were always set up by a small support team before our arrival. We usually stayed for two nights, and after the first night, the tent was perfectly cleaned and tidied. We had our own cook with us, who prepared perfect multi-course meals for us over an open fire. We sat together around the campfire before and after dinner. We were a small group, four travelers and five people to serve us. It was wonderful, and we got along very well with the service team.

I cannot imagine traveling to Uganda with any guide other than Kibale Ronnie.
My experience traveling to Uganda, both in July and later in November, was enhanced by the knowledge that our guide had of not only the terrain but also the varied cultures embedded in the cities, villages and bush areas that we traveled. There wasn't a moment that I felt unsafe. And our guide, Ronnie was kind, considerate and very entertaining! I hope to return.

Tinyiko was a joyful Tour guide
We had Tinyiko from MoAfrica Tours as our tour guide 11/5 and 11/6 2025 and Josiah as our bus driver (bus 2). They were both great. Tinyiko was a joy to be around. He taught us various songs, told us fun and interesting stories and provided us with so much informative information about South African's history, past and present. We went on a safari, cultural village tour, the Apartheid Museum, visited Nelson Mandela's house and the prison he was jailed in Johannesburg. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn more about South Africa while visiting. You can't go wrong with Tinyiko and MoAfrica Tours.
