Perfect safari holiday
Me and my husband spent 7 days around Kenya in early october. We booked our safari with Leopard Orchid Safari and, from the very first enquiry they were incredibly responsive and always available to accommodate every request.
When we arrived in Nairobi, our driver and guide Alex was waiting for us.
During our trip, we decided to focus on Kenya's main parks (Amboseli, Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha).
Alex was the perfect guide and driver: tireless, extremely passionate about wildlife, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared fascinating information about the animals we encountered and gave us unforgettable moments thanks to his sharp eye for spotting animals from afar and his deep understanding of the parks.
We also had the chance to talk with him about Kenyan culture and history, which made the experience even more enriching and memorable.
Overall, I 100% recommend this tour operator. Thank you for making a dream come true!

5-days private fly-in safari - unforgettable - perfectly organised by a very considerate team
Choosing the right safari company among so many options can feel like a little bit of a gamble but Jambo Masai Tours gave us three from the start on a very good feeling of confidence. Of course, we were a little sceptical at first, but our experience turned out to be excellent from start to finish. Including the payment aspect went very easy; the advance of 30% is smoothly payed through Pesapal, the remaining balance was conveniently paid locally.
Raphael was in fact fantastic, already from the first contact on he was always there for you. He reassured us about everything before the trip and always replied to our messages and questions instantly, which really gave us peace of mind. The contact is very smoothly and nothing is too much to ask for.
Every day of our safari was perfectly organized, from the very beginning with a fly-in to the Serengeti/Seronera-airstrip, which is very handy and above all a very scenic and special little trip. We did Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Tarangire and saw so much more than we ever expected. From breathtaking landscapes to close-up wildlife encounters, so many different animals, included the big five. Yes, also the rhino that we were lucky to spot two times in the Ngorongoro crater, be it from quite a distance.
Brian, our driver & guide, was a perfect match for us and he was definitely a real expert. He handled every road and every situation with ease, and his knowledge about the animals, the parks, his magnificent country and its culture was impressive. You could ask him everything. Also agreeing on what you prefer to do or to see during each day is no problem at all. We had 5 very enjoyable days with Brian.
The mid-range lodges we stayed at each night were luxurious, spotless, extremely comfortable and clean - perfect places to relax after a day full of adventure. Each one had very friendly staff, offered great food and service as well as beautiful surroundings that made the experience even more special.
We can highly recommend this team - professional, friendly and truly passionate about what they do. A huge thank-you to Raphael and Brian for this perfectly organised 5 days without any worries, and for giving us three an unforgettable journey! The warmth and sincere care we received made it also feel so good.

Kind, friendly and reserved in a way that made us feel comfortable
Booking was easy and good communication on reserving the package with accommodation etc. The tour was incredible, everything was taken care for us, we didn't have to worry about a single detail. Dickson went out of his way to ensure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. Dickson also ensured we were cared for at every stage of the trip. Considering the duration we were there for, the hotels we stayed in and the amount of driving, the price was very good value for what we got.

I would say that everything was great and I really enjoyed the experience.
My experience with Family Leisure Africa Safaris was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfectly organized, and I truly enjoyed every moment of the trip. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and patient — they did everything possible to make sure we saw all the animals up close. Thanks to them, we managed to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos and many more. They also shared a lot of interesting facts about the wildlife.
The hotels and lodges where we stayed were very comfortable and clean. The food was delicious and offering both local and international options.
I was also amazed by the variety of landscapes we got to see — from wide open savannas and green forests to lakes full of flamingos. Each day felt different.
Overall, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Everything was well planned, safe, and full of unforgettable moments. I’m really grateful to Family Leisure Africa Safaris for making this experience so special, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Africa!

6 day safari with Destiny Explorers
Amazing 6-Day Safari with Destiny Explorers
Destiny Explorers and Issa Hamisi were very cooperative and put together a safari trip exactly according to our wishes.
We chose a 6-day tour with 5 overnight stays.
We had already spent four days in Stone Town, Zanzibar, and flew from there to Arusha.
Destiny arranged a nice hotel for us in Arusha, where we met a representative from Destiny Explorers to settle the payment details.
We stayed overnight, and the next morning we were picked up after breakfast — our adventure had begun!
First of all, we have to say this was an absolutely fantastic trip.
What incredible wildlife Tanzania’s national parks have to offer!
Serengeti and Ngorongoro gave us memories for a lifetime.
Our guide and driver, David, was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
What he didn’t know about nature and wildlife wasn’t worth knowing.
He also had full control of the vehicle, even though it was a bit old and worn.
Our Land Cruiser could definitely have been better maintained — the wipers, starter motor, and brakes were not in perfect condition, and the rear seat belts were missing.
Still, the car did its job well, and David handled it perfectly.
We truly think the trip was amazing, and we highly recommend that anyone planning a safari includes Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The lodges we stayed at were of good standard, and the food was excellent.
We chose a private tour, meaning we had the car and guide entirely to ourselves.
When it comes to payment, there’s one thing worth mentioning:
One-third of the total cost was paid electronically as a deposit when we booked the trip.
However, what we found quite challenging was that the remaining balance had to be paid in cash, in USD or EUR.
For us Europeans, this is unusual — and getting hold of that much foreign currency can be difficult.
In Norway, where we come from, it’s no longer possible to withdraw foreign currency directly from a bank.
You have to use ATMs with poor exchange rates or expensive services like Loomis, and there are also strict withdrawal limits due to anti–money laundering rules.
Had we known how difficult this would be, we would probably have chosen a company that allowed full electronic payment.
That being said, we absolutely loved this tour, and we’re sure Destiny Explorers will sort out the payment matter.

Fantastic experience
It was such a great tour. Easy and fast to get an offer, get all answers and to book. Our tour guy was super amazing. He did all he could to make us happy and find all animals for us plus to find the best spots for photos. The drive was safe and smooth. Everything was on time. Enkorok camp at Masai Mara was fantastic. Thanks!

excellent
Didas had eyes as sharp as an eagle's, and he was the first to spot the leopard and the black rhinoceros. On our final day of departure, we encountered chaos due to the presidential election. Didas and Alex stayed with us until we entered the airport, and we could truly feel their sense of responsibility.

Exceptional, world class service from start to finish.
From my first email I had sent out enquiring about booking the safari, Naomi at Antonio Safaris was extremely helpful, no matter what question I had, she replied so promptly and efficiently I was super impressed. So we left Ireland really looking forward to the safari. We were collected in Nairobi the morning of our adventure and driven all the way to Amboseli with Evans as our tour guide. From the warm, friendly reception we received as soon as we met Evans we knew we were going to have a good experience. On the four and a half hour drive to Amboseli, myself and my wife had a great conversation with Evans and learnt so much about Kenya on the journey. Our two kids were immediately happy to be jumping in the back of the land cruiser and heading off on their first safari experience. Upon arrival at Kibo camp we checked in, grabbed some lunch and Evans told us when and where to meet for the afternoon game drive. His extensive knowledge of all the wildlife we encountered along the game drive made the experience so much more educational and engaging than we could have imagined. I had never heard of a spoon bill before and these are now my 5 year old sons favourite bird :). Evans navigated the dusty terrain of Amboseli with expertise and we always felt safe. After leaving the park that evening, Evans gave us two options, 6 am game drive the next morning or leave after breakfast at 8:30am and spend longer in the national park, we opted for the 6 am game drive and it was so worth it. There were memories created for our family that we would have never been able to experience without Antonio Safaris and specifically Evans, thank you. We will be back and will definitely be going straight to Antonio Safaris directly for any of our future safari experiences.

4 day safari tour
Our four-day safari with Dallas Africa Safari was nothing short of amazing. If I ever return to Tanzania, I would absolutely choose them again to organize my trip.
Everything was handled seamlessly, with great attention to detail.
For French speakers, I can’t recommend Gishaman highly enough as a guide. He’s friendly, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes. He went above and beyond to help us spot as many animals as possible and shared fascinating insights along the way.
We were also lucky to have Meshak as our cook — he spoiled us with fresh, delicious meals every single day.
Thanks to the entire team, our safari was an experience to remember!

All right
Our safari with Family Leisure Africa Safari was absolutely unforgettable! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and so many other incredible animals of Kenya.
The safari vehicle was very comfortable, and even after long drives through the national parks, we never felt tired — just amazed by the beauty around us. The lodges and camps where we stayed were wonderful: great locations inside the parks, delicious food, and cozy rooms surrounded by nature.
On our last day, we relaxed in Mombasa, staying at a luxurious beach hotel with soft white sand and a warm turquoise ocean — the perfect ending to our journey.
Thank you, Family Leisure Africa Safari, for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything exceeded our expectations — we’ll definitely recommend you to our friends and hope to come back again someday
