Detail Oriented
House of Nature Safaris was absolutely excellent! Their communication was clear and prompt from start to finish, and the team was incredibly professional and reliable. The tour was well-organized, offering great value for money and an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable, and truly memorable safari.

Perfect customized safari tour with amazing guide
I had to make tough choices about my few days vacations in Kenya, so I had to contact someone on the phone to explain all the contraints and how I wanted to experience my 3 day safari, and it went way beyond all my expectations š¤©
Edwin, my main guide, was an amazing driver, ready to make me feel my best experience of a Safari ever.
Once again I had some expectations coming here, but Edwin made me realize way more. Itās been an amazing time with you guys, and I wish I can come back soon to experience with you again.

Good Safari, Broken Promises
Positives ā The safari days were great with good guides and good animal viewing.
Negatives ā Those days were cut short, the itinerary was changed without communication (hotels and locations), we were left stranded in the middle of the trip and eventually more money was demanded, many activities missed.
We had read a 2024 review on Trip Advisor, and hoped it was a one off and gave grace that the operator may have learned from then. Reading the other recent reviews, there is a clear pattern. The most concerning was the lack of communication once we arrived in Africa. They changed the itinerary and accommodations without communication in advance and without response during the trip. The tour operator eventually communicated that they underbid the trip and knowingly let us embark on a trip they could not fully pay for, despite us paying them in full for the quoted itinerary. Without our guides advocating for us and our own advocacy, it's unclear what would have happened. As it was, we spent significant additional money to get ourselves through this trip which did not match our promised itinerary. This trip was no small expense for us, and was a celebration of milestone birthdays, a milestone anniversary, and a bucket list trip when life has reminded us it is short many times recently. The substantial disruptions to our trip and itinerary, in our opinion, the unprofessional nature in which this operator handled things, the lack of communication, and resulting stress overshadowed the positives of the trip.
The operator says they will reimburse us the added expenses. We will update this review and star rating if that occurs.

Highly recommended - ASK FOR EDWARD
Golden Trips is a responsible and professional tour company. They fulfilled the entire itinerary perfectly.
Our 14-day trip included Nairobi National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Eyasi tribes, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Serengeti National Park, and Zanzibar.
Leticia was in charge of helping us customize the trip, including the places we wanted to visit, the hotels and lodges where we wanted to stay, and the activities we wished to do. She is very patient, takes the time to offer different options, and is always willing to answer questions and clarify doubts. Throughout the trip, she was constantly attentive, checking in with us to see how everything was going and if we needed anything.
Edward was the perfect guide: he has a very sharp eye, is an excellent driver, and knows animal movement patterns. He anticipates where the animals will go, allowing us to get the best shots when they pass right beside the vehicle. He doesnāt like crowds and doesnāt chase after them; instead, he prefers to find the animals himself, always alert and searching. Heās also very patient, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. Plus, he takes the best photos! The complete package. We are very grateful because he made our honeymoon an unforgettable trip.
I highly recommend booking your safari with Golden Trips, asking for Edward as your guideāyou won't regret it.

Guide Khalifa was deputed by the almighty for our safe and adventurous safari at Kenya
The entire Safari at Masaimara, Nakuru and Amboseli was handled by the professionals of Axis Safari with precision and perfection.
The patience and perseverance of guide Khalifa to locate the animals in the remote corners of the park was praiseworthy.
The stay at Jumbo Mara and Amboseli Sopa lodge was something to remember for years.
Keep on doing such good work for making our life enjoyable.

He was considerate, professional, kind and I would recommend him to anyone.
We had an incredible trip. I had no idea there was so much to see in Uganda. Our guide was instrumental in our success in seeing wildlife. Although we had a few issues with our vehicle, our guide was prompt in getting it repaired and it never once interfered with our trip.
I have come home ready to endorse Exclusive Gorillas Vacations as I would definitely reach out to them again. You will not be disappointed in the flexibility concerning the planning of your trip or the execution.

Very dedicated guide
We enjoyed our safari in Samburu NR reserve very much. Our guide, Graham, was very dedicated and knew very much about all the animals and even had a notebook with pictures to show the differences between several types of one animal.
In regards to the touroperator itself we had an issue with the quote not being fully correct, which lead to having to pay an extra entrance fee upon arrival, which is a bit unfortunate but mistakes happen.

The tour operator is highly accommodating and exceptionally helpful
From the beginning of the tour to the end, Shelton was always available when we needed recommendations for dinner or activities. His organization was excellent, allowing us to save a lot of time and fully enjoy the entire journey. The tour is highly recommended.

Awesome Trekking to the Summit
Our trek up Kilimanjaro with guide Kileo and Mushi from Tanzania Wildlife Adventures was excellent. They were outstanding guides, knowledgeable about the mountain, its flora, and fauna. They were also supportive throughout the journey to the summit. We maintained a challenging but manageable pace, and we their support we made it to the summit. The food by our chef was excellent and portions served generous. I made friends with the porters, cook, and guide. I highly recommend booking with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures as they are reliable and totally professional.
