Amazing punctual and reliable service. A great experience! Highly recommend this agency.
Fast, reactive communication. The trip was great. We got provided food and water and a well experienced guide who spotted the animals like an eagle.

A flawless, 5-star experience
We did a week-long safari in Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli with our guide, Denis Lekina. Denis is a Maasai, knows everything about local traditions, and knows the Kenyan parks like the back of his hand. His accomplishments speak for themselves – among others, he was hired by a camera crew to film Melania Trump’s safari visit, and worked for 6 months as a guide for the crew researching the lions of Masai Mara and filing the “African Cats” documentary. As a result, he knows all of the lions in Masai Mara by name, knows their territory, where to search for them.
Denis ensured we were always amongst the first cars to arrive to any rare animal sighting and always had the best view. In a single afternoon, we saw 4 of the big 5, in addition to the wildebeest river crossing and a crocodile kill.
The office team of Monkey Adventures were flexible, very responsive, and had good knowledge of the various parks. They took time to understand what we were really after and tailored... Read more the trip accordingly. For example (following a standard itinerary) we initially wanted to spend two nights in Amboseli, but the team advised us we should instead spend more time in Masai Mara given that we wanted to focus on seeing as many different animals as possible. Similarly, we wanted to allocate most of the budget to staying in the best locations in Masai Mara, and were fine with staying in budget accommodations in other areas we visited in order to reduce the overall cost. Monkey Adventures were fully flexible, and tailored our trip to meet our wishes. In addition, they also followed-up immediately after the trip to ensure everything was in order and we were satisfied with everything.
I am sure we will be coming back, booking with Monkey Adventures and asking for Denis as our guide. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of a safari to do the same.

Fun budget safari!!
I was on a solo trip to Nairobi and went on a 4 day budget safari tour with Lenchada Safaris, to Masai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru. From the start, of replying to my enquiry via safaribookings.com, to clarifying my queries, to picking me from my hotel in Nairobi for the tour, till the end of day 4, dropping me back safely to my hotel- Alex had been amazing and very prompt in replying and making arrangements for me.
Our tour guide Isaac was very knowledgeable and knew the national park well and took us to the right places to see the big five. We saw a lot of lions, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests migrating back to Serengeti(the great migration), different kinds of antelopes, buffalos,cheetahs, pumba, hyenas, ostrich, rhinos(in lake Nakuru). The meals were good at most places, except one picnic-packed lunch which was average. The stay arranged were also great with hot shower in tent/resort. The fellow travelers were good fun too. It is normal if you notice fellow travelers switching... Read more between vehicles - cars accommodate based on the number of days the person has booked their tour.
All in all - I had a wonderful safari. I would definitely recommend Lenchada Safaris for solo female/budget travelers.

Brilliant driver and guide
My family and I went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara. Our driver and guide, Joseph, was absolutely brilliant in every way. There was a lot of driving involved and he was always informative and pointing things out to us. When we were on safari in the Masai Mara and Amboseli he seemed to know exactly the right place to go for the action. We saw everything we could have hoped to see. We were even lucky enough to see 3 young Cheetah chase down a young gazelle. Not only was Joseph a good driver but his knowledge of the animals was also first class. He certainly made sure that we got the most out of our trip. We will remember the trip, and him, for a long time to come.

Wild Dog Safaris in Namibia is the best!
In February of this year I contacted Liz to ask her if she could organize a self drive trip for me and my colleagues. She assigned Elsie to make arrangements. I have to say we were very happy with Elsie. She is very enthusiastic, offers great service and is very thorough. During the trip she was available and even in weekends she answered our questions very quickly. The camps and hotels which were picked by Wild Dog Safaris were great. Also the cars they arranged were perfect. We did not have any problems at all. And with 3 cars on gravel roads means that the cars were well up to the job. Namibia is a fantastic country with beautiful scenes and wildlife. We had a fabulous trip! Thank you Liz and Elsie for helping us!

An excellent tour provided by an informative and enthusiastic guide. Efficiently organized.
Prompt responses from the tour operator even before I left my country. Didn't expect such a detailed tour encompassing a boat cruise as well as a guided hike with an experienced indigenous tracker.

Memorable Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari (5 days)
The Masai Mara Game Safari was a memorable experiences and we enjoyed every minute of it. We were able to see almost all the predators and antelopes in the plains. To begin with, both Eric and Mineh were very prompt and meticulous in their communications and arragements. Our guide cum driver, Issac was very knowledgeable, customer focused, and, at times put extra efforts to show us the most elusive predators like leopards and cheetahs. We are extremely happy about this tour and we strongly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris.

A world class end to end service
Ant and the Mana pools team are the best!
If you were to believe the headlines, you would be forgiven for thinking a self drive in zimbabwe was difficult, risky and expensive. However, thanks to Ant and his team, this couldn't be further from the truth. The whole trip couldn't have been easier to organise and we didn't experience the slightest hiccup throughout our two weeks at Mana pools.
Ant arranged everything for us from the car, to the park bookings and even our food. His level of customer service is high class. Every query or clarification was answered within hours and his huge wealth of knowledge and easy going manner made the whole planning process a joy.
The vehicle provided was in great condition and we didn't have a single issue with it despite everything we threw at it. Costa, the onsite manager, was a great guy who gave us clear instructions on all the gear and went the extra mile to transfer us across harare when our taxi fell through.
The... Read more vehicle comes with all the gear you need to survive in the bush. All this gear was user friendly and covered everything you would ever need.
We felt completely safe in Zim and as always the people were very warm and friendly.
I can't thank Ant and his team enough for everything and I have no doubt I will be organising round two very shortly
