Jartan Lazier enhanced my experience by his knowledge, caring, fun loving and kind attitude
September 2024 I ventured on a 19 day safari of Tanzania and Kenya with nine other travelers. This was a perfect amount of time and the weather was excellent.
Our knowledgeable safari leader was Jartan Laizer. Jartan was an excellent guide, spotted all of the animals for us, took care of each travelers needs, was friendly, funny and caring. We all became fast friends with Jartan and with each other.
Tanzania and Kenya are natures back yard. We observed all of the Big 5–African elephant, cape buffalo, lion, rhinoceros and the elusive leopard. Much to our awe we observed the cheetah in its natural habitat. Plus, we saw never ending numbers of zebras and 3 different species of giraffes.
The native people were friendly and welcoming. We visited several towns and Maasai villages. The Maasai demonstrated their jumping ability, for which they are famous. They did not fail to fascinate us.
The scenery was pretty—many native trees and scrubs, of which Jartan told us the specifics about them. In the Serengeti the sunsets were spectacular, plus the stars.
This was a truly fascinating experience and one of my favorite tours ever! I would totally recommend a safari to Kenya and Tanzania with Jartan Lazier.

Excellent!
We used the services of the specific agency for our first safari in Kenya lasted 4 days in Masai Mara . I felt completely safe and calm as once I booked the safari, the agency was well responding to all of my requests or infos I may needed through what's up.
They were waiting for us in the airport to drive us in a hotel next to the company's office where we could freshen up before the beginning of our safari early in the morning .Also one of the best highlights of our trip was the driver of our jeep named David Capino( I hope I remember well his name).He did everything in his power for us to see more animals as close as it gets and also had a great knowledge in the African birds .We would pick him again if we return in Kenya ! Many thanks to Trav-Interactive agency for creating a great safari experience for us !

Very relaxed, funny and motivated guy with a lot of experience and knowledge.
The trips completely exceeded my expectations. I saw all the animals, even leopard and cheetah. Lions with cubs and also hunting. The cheetah had already finished the hunt, but we were able to watch him eat a gazelle.
Our guide was very motivated and even had various information about the country, people and culture. He knew about the animals and plants anyway. He was also fun for everyone and always got us in the best position for the perfect photos. we even learned a little of the local language. He gave his best in every situation. The best Guide ;-)

The organization was perfect, everything went smoothly
My safari through Samburu National Park, Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara was an unforgettable experience! The variety of landscapes and animals overwhelmed me. In Samburu I saw Grevy's zebras and gerenuks for the first time. The elephant herds were impressively large. In Nakuru we saw a leopard and rhinos - a breathtaking sight. And in the Masai Mara I was lucky enough to see a family of lions. The tour guide Kaleb was very knowledgeable and told us many interesting details about the animals and the region. The accommodations were comfortable and the food delicious. Overall, I can highly recommend the safari! Our guide Kaleb in particular was excellent and made all the difference.

Exceptional Wildlife Encounters: Gorillas and Savanna..
Our 7-day Gorillas and Savanna Safari was a perfect mix of forest and plains adventures. Herbert was our guide, and his knowledge of the parks enriched our journey. From trekking in Bwindi to watching lions and leopards in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the safari was packed with excitement. The lodges offered breathtaking views, and the staff’s hospitality made us feel at home. This trip showcased Uganda’s incredible biodiversity and reaffirmed our love for African safaris.

The Mara changes you forever
We decided for a December trip and contacted ways of Africa somewhere in early November. Right from the start, Paul’s professionalism stood apart from the several companies we had contacted. He was prompt, straightforward and clear about what our budget, requirements and length of stay was and was able to help create the best itinerary tailored to our needs. I really appreciated him not fluffing up details and he was direct and polite with his communications via WhatsApp
We had both a late arrival and departure to and from Nairobi airport and he arranged pick up and drop off. He arranged the most amazing accommodation for us at Mara bush camp which was by far one of the best places I have stayed at and I will hold memories from there very close to my heart.
No review on ways of Africa is complete without mentioning the phenomenal experience we had gaming with our driver/ guide Dennis. Dennis is funny , friendly and we had a great time with him at Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. He is extremely skilled at what he does and despite rains and muddy roads, he was able to navigate paths and drive us very close to wildlife viewing. He is great at communicating with other guides and anticipating the course/ trajectory of the animals and we were oftentimes amongst the first few to be right next to the lions, cheetah, elephants and giraffes. Within 4 days of gaming, we were able to see all of the big 5 as well as a multitude of several other wildlife! We were even able to see an attempted hunt between a pride of lions and a warthog. He is a proud Masai and truly passionate about the animals and we learnt a ton not only about the birds and animals, but also about the Masai tribe and Kenya in general. He is also a talented photographer and helped us capture beautiful images of the wildlife.
Overall, this trip will remain etched in our memories forever all thanks to Ways of Africa and Dennis and if and when we do come back again, I have no hesitation to avail there services again

Great Guide & great Safari
Everything went really smoothly. Communication was easy and fast. The Safari was customized to our wishes.
We had a private Jeep for the 4 of us and great value for money. Our Guide Caleb was awesome. He knows the parks and animals so well and told us all about it. We had a really great time and saw everything we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend going with them.

Excellent choice for tour in Tanzania
Great experience with my family in Tanzania. Whole trip is very pleasant, friendly tour guide, Suleiman, a young man from Maasai but well educated, good humour making my boy happy, quick to follow game and exchange info with other guides. We were educated along the way, with all The good stories and why one animal behaves this way or the other. Great hotel at the land of nature, feeling and hearing lions at the door way but feeling safe. Great choice of lodges, with safety and close to the nature. We saw all Big 5 and enjoyed all those animal stories. My wife was happy and my boy said excellent.
