Thrilling and Exciting
Last month we visited Africa Kenya for first time with my friend who is an avid traveler and has been there many more times, so we did not have to worry about arrangements. We were picked at the airport upon arrival in the morning and we started our safari to northern Kenya Samburu. We had David as our guide, and he was just amazing the kind of an ever-smiling engaging and friendly guy. He had an amazing green jeep that was in good harmony and blended well with the environment that was very well kept with an electric fridge to have our drinks cold (Cold Tusker) especially in this part of our first destination it was really hot and dry it came in handy.
After 2 nights stay, we headed to Lake Nakuru where we stayed at an elevated lodge sitting on a hill with superb views of the lake beneath us. Sopa lodge, this park was the best in my trip, we saw lots of Rhinos both black and white at a close proximity, giraffe, leopard sitting on acacia branch and the flamingos though they were not as many as I expected but still a sight of them flying was such a great experience.
Our last destination was at Maasai Mara, and we stayed at a small camp very nice next to the Mara River, we heard roars of lions and hyena screams on our first night at the camp and following morning we found the residents lions kill not too far away from our camp with hundreds of hyenas surrounding the pride although at a distance.
We flew back to the city after a thrilling 7 days in the bush for lunch at the carnivore restaurant before we drove back to the airport for our flight back home.
This was the best tour that I have ever done, thank you David for such an amazing time you gave us.
I would 100% recommend, can't wait to come back again sometime in the near future.

Great Safari
We've had a great safari with Hyrax. Roselyne was quick in here response and is trustworthy. Dan was our driver, we had lots of fun with him. We found him a very pleasant personality, always doing his best to make it the best day. The only problem we've faced was that Roselyne that the start date was misunderstood. The guide was in our hotel, two days early. This problem seemed solved professional. All hotels were rebooked, however the trainticket was not rebooked. That was a bit of a pity, since we lost a day due to this incident. I would recommend to request a solid personalized planning, with overview of dates, hotels. If this was organized by Hyrax, that could have prevented this mistake from happening. However the trip was great, so all 'problems' are relative!!

Amazing views of lake bunyonyi
We had a lovely time of relaxing at the lake bunyonyi. The canoe boat took us to different islands on the lake. Loved the ziplining as well. Thanks Katella team

What an Amazing Experience!
I was one of four in our party that traveled to Kenya and Tanzania in September and October on a private luxury tour. After a safari in each country, we ended our trip chilling on the beach in Zanzibar. Chris and Jen planned every detail which enabled us to travel to all of our destinations and accommodations with ease. What an experience! The tent camps and accommodations were first rate. (I particularly loved Mara Crossings in Kenya and the Luxury Escarpment in Tanzania!). The safari guides were personable and knowledgeable and provided the ultimate safari experience in both the Mara and the Serengeti. (I really wanted to slip a Dik Dik in my suitcase but managed to resist). This was truly a bucket list trip. Thank you Chris and Jen for your meticulous planning to make this an amazing experience!

Great tour!
The arrangement worked great - everything from communication before the trip as well as the organisation of the actual tour around the park. We got to see lots of interesting animals up close thanks to our excellent guide Eric. Can defenitely recommend it!

Both guide had great attention to detail and found the big 5 for me
I did a 4 day safari with Pangea Adventures. The accommodations were very pleasant and the food was surprisingly good, even the box lunches we had during the day. Both guides had a great ability for spotting animals I would have clearly missed. They picked up a rhino that was a few hundred yards away that looked like a dot to the naked eye. They were the most responsive to my email inquiries compared to all of the companies I wrote to and had a great attention to detail for things like food requests that I'd put down that I was surprised they remembered. They also took me to one of their favorite local restaurants when we got back to town after the safari. The dirt roads are REALLY rough so be prepared for it, but that's just part of where you are. Unfortunately no way around that part. Bring a few things to snack on during the day.

Memorable tour
We booked online the safari tour with Lion King Adventures and from the very first email they showed up their professionalism that made us decide for this agency. The communication was clear and super detailed. The team provided all the information we needed to know and adviced us based on our preferences. Open to answer any question and very reactive in replying. From the very first moment we arrived in Tanzania they made us feel very welcome and at home. The service and the overall experience far exceeded our expectations. Mwita was our safari guide and he's simply amazing. He knows the parks, especially Serengeti park, as the back of his hand. He can spot any animal from very far away and he was always in radio contact with the other guides to know what was going on in the park in order to let us enjoy the safari at the fullest. I strongly recommend to book a safari tour with Lion King Adventures and to explicitly ask for Mwita as safari guide!

He was very knowledgeable and hospitable.
This vacation was one memorable experience on can not easily forget. Tracking the Rhinos and seeing them close range. The marvel of the Murchison falls.(The strongest falls in the world) and seeing the lioness carry her hunt back home majestically were very intriguing moments. Thank you Kubwa Safaris for making this experience worthwhile for the Serunkuma's
