An amazing 5 day safari with the best guide
Our safari with Samuel and Goldfinch Adventures was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, he impressed us with his professionalism, deep knowledge of the animals and environment, and his warm personality. Samuel always knew where to go and had an incredible eye for spotting the animals, which gave us unforgettable encounters and views.
What we appreciated the most was how much effort he put into making sure that all our wishes were fulfilled. Whether it was finding a particular animal, explaining something in detail, or simply creating the perfect atmosphere, he always went the extra mile for us. His patience, kindness, and genuine passion for nature made the entire journey even more special.
Thanks to Samuel, this safari far exceeded our expectations and became an adventure we will never forget. We highly recommend him and Goldfinch to anyone who wants the best possible safari experience.

Very fun, extremely friendly & helpful.
This tour went way above our expectations. Everything was perfect, from the pickup and ride to the park, all the way to leaving with such irreplaceable memories thanks to our extremely professional and friendly guide & driver. Big thank you to Owen & Godbless. These guys were the main reason everything went so fun and smooth. On our private tour we saw elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, crocodiles, hogs, impalas, baboons, a lion and a lot of buffalos. Worth every penny, definitely coming back again. 10/10 🌟

Cool experience!
I had an amazing time with Big Apes Africa! I saw amazing animals (very close contact to gorillas and chimps), had nice overnight stays in differend places around Uganda, a friendly tour guide and really made an incredible experience i will never forget!
Small negative aspect: even though declared so before meals were not fully covered so the tour guide asked to pay an extra amount for that.
Overall i did really enjoy the trip a lot, strongly recommend it!

Amazing experience with Meijo
Thank you so much, Marcelina! The itinerary was fantastic! We started our seven-day trip in the Serengeti. Our guide, Godbless, was incredibly responsible throughout the entire trip. He has over 20 years of experience, drives remarkably steadily, and always spot animals instantly! He was amazing!

# An unforgettable 8-day safari with James (Wild Portrait Safari) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the moment we met James, the owner of Wild Portrait Safari, we knew we were in expert hands. Over eight incredible days across the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, he didn’t just show us the Big Five—he introduced us to hundreds of other stunning species and the living, breathing story of Kenya’s wildlife. Every day was a masterclass in understanding nature, reading the land, and truly seeing animals in their best habitats and biotopes.
What sets James apart is the way he blends deep knowledge with genuine warmth. He taught us where and how to look for animals, how ecosystems connect, and the very real challenges wildlife face due to climate change. His insights made each sighting more meaningful, and his tips on wildlife photography (from light and composition to patience and timing) helped us bring home images we’re truly proud of. Through it all, his human touch—kindness, humor, and care—made the journey unforgettable.
We loved every minute of our 8 days, and we left feeling both grateful and inspired. If you’re dreaming of a Kenyan safari that combines breathtaking sightings, thoughtful education, and heartfelt guiding, look no further.
## Highlights
- Saw the Big Five plus countless other remarkable animals
- Clear, engaging lessons on Kenyan wildlife and habitats/biotopes
- Thoughtful discussions on conservation and climate change
- Practical, game-changing wildlife photography guidance
- Warm, attentive, and deeply human guiding throughout
- Seamless experience across Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli
Thank you, James, for an extraordinary adventure—we’ll treasure it forever. Highly, highly recommended. 🐘🦁

Excellent!!
We really enjoyed our Safari. I believe the Safari went so well because we had a excellent guide/driver. Peter was knowledgeable and a good driver.
He was always early and ready to go.
We stayed at some very nice properties. Both my husband and myself really enjoyed Robin's Safari Camp.
Going on a Safari is truly an experience of a lifetime.

Fantastic Zambian Adventure
My wife and I recently returned from a 2+ week trip to Zambia that we planned in conjunction with Clyde Beaty at Tailormade Africa. Having made a number of previous trips to various destinations in Africa we were looking for a new location to visit and Clyde suggested Zambia. We didn't know a great deal about Zambia but Clyde talked us through it and suggested some specific destinations for our trip. We settled on 4 different camps in Kafue, South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi. We were delighted with each of the destinations and with each of the camps, which turned out to be 5 camps instead of the 4 planned. More on that later.
The camps that Clyde selected for us were perfect for our tastes. They were all small (3-6 rooms) and each of them had great locations that blended in with their surroundings very well. The camps were sufficiently rustic to be authentic but with just the right amount of luxury to be exceedingly comfortable without being fussy or precious. The service at each of the camps was outstanding. The staff was warm and friendly at all the camps and anticipated all of our needs and wants without being obtrusive. Everywhere we stayed was very clean and comfortable and the food everywhere was amazing. Clyde hit just the right note and we were very happy with all of the places we stayed.
We found the wildlife in Zambia to be amazing and abundant.
We saw all the major species that we expected including lots of lions and leopards, (sightings literally every day). We also saw less expected wildlife such as a pack of wild dogs, including cubs. Notably, our wildlife viewing was never disturbed by large numbers of safari vehicles all crowding the animals to get a better view. The most other vehicles we saw a one time was 4 and even that was an exception. We were most often the only vehicle in sight. The bird life was as prolific as the mammals. We re able to do boat and walking safaris in addition to traditional game drives which was very nice. All of the guides we had were first rate, extremely capable and knowledgeable .
When we got to our second camp, I received a message to call Clyde. It seems that the kitchen in our third camp burned down and we could no longer stay there. Clyde had already sorted the problem for us and despite being peak season had as booked in new suitable accommodations. We had to stay 1 night in one place and 2 nights in the other but other than a minor inconvenience, it turned out well because we got to experience 2 great new places also surrounded by great game viewing. They were great. Kudos to Clyde.
The transfers were well-arranged and went off without a hitch.
So, our entire trip was fantastic and exceeded our expectations in every respect.
It's worth noting that we had no health issues while we're in Zambia. All of the camps where we stayed had either bore holes (wells) or reverse osmosis water treatment and so the water was safe to drink from the tap. While family and friends expressed some concern for us on other health risks such as Covid-19 or ebola, we stayed healthy and in fact were never in a situation where we felt at risk. We talked with guides and camp personnel specifically about Covid-19 and all had received vaccines and were very conscious of good practices to stay safe. It our experience it appears that Zambia is doing a very good job of managing public health.
