Great
We booked an 8 days budget safari trip with Bencia to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha, Amboseli and Tsavo West.
We traveled with our driver Joseph and our cook John.
The entire trip was great, just as we expected ; the itinerary was good and well respected, the accomodations were very decent, the food that John made was always very good, and we saw all the animals we wished for thanks to Joseph which is a great driver and very good for spoting animals.
They were both very nice and we had great holidays :)

Fantastic experience
Recently got back from a 2 week holiday in Kenya . We travelled around 6 national parks on a safari trip with Meektrail safaris followed by 4 lazy days at The Swahili beach hotel on Diani beach . All of the national parks offered something different and we thoroughly enjoyed everyone however the Masai Mara , Amboselli and Lake Naivasha were my personal favourites and the ones I would highly recommend . We did a lot of travelling about by road and really enjoyed seeing a different way of life . We found the Kenyan people to be very friendly . Nice to have the lazy days by the beach at the end of our trip o the lovely Diani beach . The only slight negative I had about the entire trip were that the beach boys and beggars in Diani became a bit tiresome at times making a nice simple walk on the beach or into town feel like hard work .

Responsive and supportive
I booked a 3d safari at Tsavo with a friend and we enjoyed it a lot.
We had an issue and John was open to support us to find a convenient solution.
We can recommend Trav Interactive for their services

Great Kenya experience
Seven of us went on an eleven-day safari trip to Kenya-Tanzania. Our local guide in Kenya was attentive and highly enthusiastic both in terms of searching for wildlife and in interacting with us. We had an impressionable and thrilled experience for the 6-day Kenya safari.
We could not enjoy Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania due to persistent flooding of the lake. The 2-3 hours morning could consider alternative instead.

Martin is a great tour guide, recommended to book with Across Horizon.
Martin was my tour guide for the first 3 days, he did a really good job. Helping to find the animals, especially the rare once. Explaining us a lot about the wildlife, very communicative on the radio. It was a blessing to have him as a guide. Although after the 3 days I had to change to another car with Richard, he was less assertive and a lot on his phone and we definitely saw less animals. That’s why I give 4 stars instead of 5. The accommodations were good, always enough & good food available, the lunch boxes got prepared well and the pancakes in the Nyati lodge were a +++
We had some issues on our trip because of the missing communication to our driver from different agencies. Our driver was about to bring me to another hotel. In Nakuru we had to go out of the park and lost half an hour to pick up 2 ladies from another agency. Communication is key.

Wonderful Safari experience with nothing to worry about and where you totally can enjoy!
The communication with the organisation was very good and fast.
It provides a wonderful chance to explore several National Parks at a short time. The accomodations and lodges as well as the food were always very good.
However, you need to bring a little flexibility as your route and accomodation may be adjusted or changed. For us, this was no big deal and we really enjoyed our safari experience.
Please be aware that if you do not book a private tour that the number of tourists may vary every day. Also, the daily start of the safari may be later and the Game Drive itself may be shorter than wished.

Boutique Safari Company
Ngotea Distinctive Safari is a small-scale boutique company, which is preferable over the big companies. They handpicked an excellent lodge from where the safari was perfectly organised - and we got excellent lunch boxes. Transfers from and to the airport were swift and punctial.

Great in-depth tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park
We had a great trip to Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Marvel and Busani were both great guides, taking us to different parts of the trip and to a village on the final day. All of the individual activities (boat cruise, Victoria Falls tour, helicopter ride, game drives) are run by different groups, so there is a hand off between different groups and buses but it was pretty smooth. The hotels were really nice, especially Chobe Bush Lodge in Botswana. We did have a few hotel scheduling issues, but Marvel made adjustments and it worked out well. I also unfortunately got sick at the Lookout Cafe and missed a boat cruise and afternoon game drive, but thankfully recovered and was able to enjoy the trip. I'd recommend the tour and the company.
