Best safari operator in Kenya, extremely friendly and knowledgeable guides
Lucy was my correspondence via email and arranged for a perfect itinerary for me. She was patient and explained every step of the itinerary before finalising it.
In Kenya, Joseph took me around Nairobi and showed me very interesting sights and places to try local cuisine.
For Amboseli and Naivasha, Mr. Jackson was a very knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to show me all species of birds and animals.
Overall, Savannah Woods is the best safari operator and highly recommended. I will choose them again.

Great experience
We had a great Safari experience with Bavuma Wild Quest from planning to execution.
The development of the Safari was accomplished as organized taking care of all details.
The guide was very kind and responsible and gave us the oppotunity to see the big five !
Very professional operator. Thanks Bavuma.

Lulu Safaris — where passion and personal service with Guide Simon make the journey unforgettable
I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better safari experience. The whole trip was amazing — the wildlife, the accommodations, the itinerary, and all the experiences along the way. But what made the biggest difference was my guide.
He was truly exceptional. You could tell from the very beginning that he has a real passion for what he does. He always gave his absolute best, while never being pushy or making you feel rushed. He was funny, easy-going, and always in a positive mood, which made the whole trip feel relaxed and enjoyable.
His knowledge was incredible — not only about the animals and wildlife, but also about the parks, the surroundings, and Uganda in general. He seemed to spot animals from miles away and always made sure I had the best possible view and didn’t miss anything. He also knew all the little shortcuts and alternative routes, which often saved us time and made getting around much easier.
What I appreciated most was the balance he created. We had so many great conversations and laughs, but he also understood when I wanted some quiet time and gave me the space to simply enjoy the experience.
He genuinely cared about whether I was comfortable, having a good time, and getting the most out of every day. You could really feel that he wasn’t just doing his job — he was sharing something he truly loves.
The accommodations throughout the safari were also excellent, and the whole programme was very well organised and varied.
Looking back, I can honestly say the safari was unforgettable. And while the incredible wildlife and beautiful places made it special, I think the guide made it even more memorable. Having someone so passionate, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the days with makes such a huge difference.
Thank you so much for an incredible journey! I will remember this safari for ever !
P.S. A good friend of mine travelled with Lulu Safaris in 2025 and highly recommended the company to me. I’m so glad I followed his recommendation — I was definitely not disappointed!
I know there are many safari companies out there, but you’re in the right hands with Lulu Safaris.

We saw so many animals thanks to Patrick, who is an exceptional guide: lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants…

Unforgettable Memories
Experiencing the wildlife of Tanzania up close was truly unforgettable. Seeing the animals in their natural habitat, witnessing the beauty of the landscapes, and experiencing the rhythm of the wild made this trip incredibly special. It was a unique experience that we will carry with us forever.
Our guides, Godlisten and Cantona, were both excellent, attentive, and always did their best to help us and handle every situation along the way.
We are very grateful for this incredible experience and for the beautiful memories we made in Tanzania. Thank you, Godlisten, Cantona, and African Bovine Adventures! 🇹🇿🦁✨

Great family’s Safari
It was great experience for our family. We traveled with high school girl and junior high school boy. They were so excited about our experience and this is our great family moment.
I believe our guide was excellent. He knows about nature and animals. So he does not go too close to animals so during our Safari We never felt unsafe. ( I saw some people in Instagram became too close to animals) I really respect our guide’s knowledge and professionalism attitude.

Amazing experience!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience! We were incredibly lucky with the animals we got to see, which made the experience even more special.
The food was also a real highlight, every meal was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. After a day of exploring, it was wonderful to sit down and enjoy such good food. (Chef Saleem)
We were especially happy with our guide Issa. He is such a cheerful, friendly, and helpful man, and his passion really shines through. He knows so much about the animals, nature, and local culture, and he was always happy to share interesting facts and stories with us. He made the safari both educational and incredibly enjoyable.
We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this safari! 🐘🌿

Beyond Exceptional Safari experience
An Unforgettable Kenyan Safari Experience\!
I had an absolutely fantastic safari experience in Kenya, and a huge part of what made the trip so special was the wonderful team at Zanzi Safari and our incredible driver and guide, Gilbert Cheruiyo
A very special thank you to Lydia and her team at Zanzi Safari for putting together such an incredible itinerary. They planned everything so well and made sure the entire safari was smooth, exciting, and unforgettable. I had the pleasure of meeting the whole team, and every single person was friendly, welcoming, helpful, and professional.
If you are planning a safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, or Amboseli, I highly recommend speaking with Lydia and her team. They really listen to what you want and put together an itinerary that allows you to experience the very best of Kenya.
And they certainly know how to choose their guides. If you go just ask Lydia to request Gilbert Cheruiyo was absolutely the best. He is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, speaks English very fluently, and has an incredible understanding of animals and their behaviour. He could spot animals from a distance that we would never have noticed ourselves.
Gilbert made our days so much easier and enjoyable. He was friendly, patient, professional, funny, and genuinely passionate about his work. His knowledge added so much to the experience, and you could tell that he really cared about making sure everyone had an amazing safari.
Our little group was also fantastic, with people from England, Armenia, France, Saudi Arabia, and myself from Australia. We had so much fun together, and it was wonderful sharing such incredible experiences with people from different parts of the world.
We were lucky enough to see the **Big Five** 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃, as well as many other amazing animals and some truly breathtaking Kenyan landscapes. Every day was an adventure, and the combination of an excellent itinerary, an amazing group, and a fantastic guide made it a trip I will never forget.
Thank you to Lydia, the entire Zanzi Safari team, and especially Gilbert for making my Kenyan safari such an incredible experience. 🇰🇪❤️
If you are thinking about going on safari in Kenya, I highly recommend contacting Lydia and her team at Zanzi Safari and ask for Gilbert as your guide. They are friendly, professional, and clearly know how to put together an unforgettable safari — and they choose their guides very well.
Zanzi Safari + Gilbert = an unbeatable combination.
