As close as it gets to being part of the bush!
This was a once in a lifetime experience! It took us a while to select a safari company, and we are really happy to have picked Ulinda. This was camping, so no frills here, but oh! such an amazing camping experience! The team was seamless, camp was set up magically behind the scenes while we were off to see game. The food was wonderful, the sites were amazing! Everything about our safari made us happy.
Our guide Jane worked hard to give us the best of everything. Again, this is a low key, no frills experience, but how pleasurable! The amazing sundowns, the early drives, the safe sites, the roasted marshmallows... We could not have been better treated! And we saw everything! Except a rhino, but then one doesn't go to Botswana to see rhinos. The good thing was that we were only four people with Jane and her crew. And it helped that our fellow travelers were mellow and like-minded!
If you want to feel the bush and be a part of it, stay away from the fancy lodges, go camping! The mongoose that raid you campsite during siesta, the hippo munching on sausage fruit while you enjoy dinner, the monkeys that come and drink out of your sink... We did boat rides, we saw a leopard on its kill, countless elephants, antelopes, buffaloes, zebras and lions, and honey badgers, and snakes, and giraffes, and birds! So many birds!! Botswana is a fabulous safari location, and camping is the best way to go.

Wonderful views, great horses, beautiful stars. A great experience. Very well organised.
Crossing the equator the first time. The rider from Solitair to Swakopmund was a great experience. Wonderful horses, a group of nice people all well into riding. Perfect organisation, good crew and Andrew who looked after us all, checked and guided us though the dessert. Too bad it only lasted 8 days.

Wonderful guide, professional service
We had a fantastic holiday organised by Amko Safaris. In spite of only contacting them 10 days before Easter weekend, we wished to go, they got the whole holiday sorted very quickly. Furthermore, customer service was extremely helpful: emails were replied to quickly and they sent lots of helpful information about making the payment.
The holiday itself went without a hitch, and accommodation was better than we were expecting. The highlight for us was our guide, Mr Jones Muli, who was great company, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure we had a fantastic time. He was extremely flexible and we were able to organise our time in the lodge/ on safari in a way that suited us.
Overall, I'd recommend Amko Safaris without hesitation.

Unbelievable Fantastic Trip
This trip has impressed my family beyond our wildest imaginations. We did not think that the stories that we hear about Serengeti and Ngorongoro are true but we have finally experienced the moments and they are wow.
Our guide was Melkiot was very good, very knowledgeable and eager to please. He made sure we weer happy and kept on asking what we wanted and then he would get if for us!
The Jeep was in top condition and did not break down even once despite being driven on some bad roads.
The Lodges were very good and served excellent food. I particularly enjoyed the service at our campsite in Serengeti.
We saw very many animals and in the end we were thrilled and wowed by the adventure.
I recommend Vervet Safari Tours with no reservations. They are a great company and put together an amazing itinerary for us.

FANTASTIC ADVENTURE WITH VIVA SAFARIS
We had a fantastic experience with Viva Safaris. We hired Tremisana 4 days and it really was the adjusted thing, although we were left wanting for a few more days (especially my daughter). All the planned activities were as they were offered by Viva Safaris. Excellent punctuality, guides, food and accommodation. I would do it again without a doubt.Thank you to all staff.

It was excellent.
We were in the Congo two weeks ago and it was great. We watched lowland and mountain gorillas, as well as chimpanases. Everything was well organized and without any problems. You have a guide Serge was excellent, intelligent and always willing to help us with everything we needed. I highly recommend it, we will surely return here.

Incredible experience from start to finish!
Our trip was just just fantastic, when our driver Mr. Daniel came and picked us up, Chaz Tours and Travel had some gifts for us, they gave us the Masai blankets and some maps or books for information. Our children loved Mr.Daniel, they even made a Mr. Daniel song for him. He had an eye of an eagle, his eyesight was so spot on, we didn't need any binoculars because he can spot like cheetahs and small animals far away. On our way to our 4 day trip Nairobi - Lake Nakuru -Masai Mara - Nairobi trip we first stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, it was such a sight and if you read up about the Great Rift Valley you will be amazed. Next stop was lake Naivasha with island stopover to have a close encounter with giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles and water bucks. Lots of different bird species at the lake, we even had the chance to feed fish to an eagle. You will see some hippos soaking up at the lake too. We had lunch as a stopover and grabbed some coffees in one of the malls on the way to Lake Nakuru, remember to grab some drinking bottled water to Lake Nakuru - Mara or snacks and fruits and bring your own shopping bag as they don't provide this in shops in Kenya (plastic free). In Lake Nakuru, you will see the pink flamingos, we spotted a black rhino and serval cat, we stayed at Lake Nakuru lodge. Water is not drinkable but its so soft and made our hair and skin so soft. Next stop is Mara, Mara is a long journey with mostly rough roads and it takes around 6 to 7 hours drive from Nairobi, it is also very dusty. April is supposedly rainy season but for the entire week we were there, there was no rain. It can get a bit chilly in the mornings but after that it gets hot during the day. Mara was amazing, it's a dream come true to see the animals in their natural habitat. We stayed at Masai Mara Sopa lodge and it was a great place to stay. We visited Kekoorok air strip where we bought some souvenirs, try and bargain if you can, we visited also Masai Village and had some look around their livelihood. we learned so much in this trip and would use the same company again and recommend them in the future. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.
