A tour operator that failed to deliver the agreed private safari experience and did not provide adeq
⭐️⭐️ Review – Tsavo Cat Tours & Safaris
We booked a private safari with Tsavo Cat Tours & Safaris which unfortunately was not delivered as agreed.
• A private 4x4 vehicle was booked, but a standard van was provided.
• The itinerary was changed without our consent.
• The agreed road transfer back to our hotel was replaced with a train journey to Mombasa.
• Basic expected amenities were not available.
These were material changes that reduced the value of the safari.
After the trip, we contacted the operator to request a fair partial refund. Although there was initial acknowledgment, no clear proposal was provided and communication eventually stopped despite reasonable deadlines.
This review is shared as a factual account of our experience so that future travellers can make informed decisions

An unforgettable safari in Tanzania – amazing wildlife in Ndutu!
We had an incredible safari experience in Tanzania! The entire trip was very well organized and everything went smoothly. One of the highlights was visiting Ndutu, where we saw an amazing amount of wildlife — large herds of wildebeest and zebras, as well as lions and cheetahs. It was truly breathtaking.
Our guide Livin was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was very patient and always managed to find animals for us, while also sharing interesting information about the wildlife and ecosystem. He made the whole safari experience even more enjoyable.
The itinerary was well paced — full of exciting moments but never rushed. Every day brought something new and memorable.
We are very grateful for this wonderful trip and would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in East Africa.

Simply amazing
Our mother and daughter safari to Kenya was organised by Uyaphi down to the smallest detail. Everything was perfect from pick up at the airport to drop off.
The choice of lodges was superb and the choice of guide in Pollmans Kenya was brilliant. Couldn't quite believe that our guide Isaac looked after us from day one through the Masai, Samburu and Nakuru with both expertise and patience.
This is my third booking with Uyaphi and we will be back!

Wonderful safari with knowledgeable & friendly guide Waziri
Our early communication was excellent. All my questions were answered promptly, and the itinerary was well-organized at a reasonable price.
Our guide Waziri was humorous, polite, and knowledgeable about animals. He drove safely and patiently showed us a wide variety of wildlife during the safari. Highly recommend Gilmag!

Amazing safari - 3 national parks with stunning scenery
The hotels were excellent; a safe in the room at the Eileen Tree Inn would have been a real plus.
Three national parks with diverse landscapes and fantastic highlights.
Food – the packed lunches were good, and the picnic areas were well chosen.

Well organized, professional, thoughtful, and personalized!
Our safari with Antonio’s Safaris was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the very beginning, Antonio went above and beyond to make sure every part of our experience was special, seamless, and completely personalized to us.
Evans, who was our guide, is unbelievably knowledgeable about the wildlife, the landscape, and the local culture, and he shares that knowledge with so much passion and enthusiasm. He has an amazing eye for spotting animals — we saw things we absolutely would have missed on our own! He always positioned us perfectly for viewing and photos and was so patient and thoughtful in answering all of our questions.
We are so grateful to Antonio’s Safaris for such a well-organized, top-tier experience, and we cannot recommend Evans highly enough. If you’re booking a safari, ask for Evans — he will make it unforgettable!

Great itinerary and comfortable stays
We were very well taken care of by our guide Hannington, and the itinerary was well-planned with lots of rest in between.
Highlight of our trip was definitely the trek to see the Kutu Gorilla Family. They have a young alpha on his way to become a full silverback, and it’s fun to see how they interact with each other as a family.

Sam was very warm, attentive, professional, and treated us with kid gloves.
The service was very professional. Sam was very attentive to our needs. He provided us with a package based on our interests and it was very affordable. He was at the airport to pick us up on time and transported us back hours before our departure. The tour of what we wanted to do was amazing. We spent two nights in Nairobi and the accommodations were exceptional. The people were amazing. The food was very good. We spent the last two nights in Maasai Mara and stayed in a luxury tent. It was amazing and the people were very attentive and very nice. The food was delicious. Our safari was nothing but amazing, seeing all the animals. A safari should be experienced at least once in a lifetime. We are going back to Kenya!
