Everything we wanted in four days
We (two women in their mid-twenties) wanted to see as much of Kenya's wildlife in a few days and in an affordable way as possible. Getting around in Kenya without a guide is not always easy, so we opted for this planned tour and did not regret it.
Our guide, Anthony, was exceptionally nice and friendly! He knew a lot about the animals and wanted to give us the best experience possible. Planning the tour beforehand with Peter was very simple via Mail and Whatsapp.
We started our tour in Mombasa and got picked up and dropped off at our AirBnB-places without difficulties. The tour itself is in a van with enough space for seven people, so we really enjoyed the space and as far as we know, no more than four people are driven in these; so definitely enough space for everybody to comfortably watch the animals.
We saw all the Big Five except the Rhino. Tsavo East was filled with animals - we stayed at Aruba Lodge (very peaceful and quiet with very good food). In Tsavo West the landscape is amazing - we stayed an Ngulia Lodge (great view over the Valley, waterhole next to the restaurant and they hang out meat - so huge guarantee to see a leopard. We saw two, actually, but the hotel itself is not very convincing). In Amboseli the Kibo Lodge with view of the Kilimanjaro and tented lodges was very cute and even more lively than Tsavo East. A picture with the mountain and elephants is definitely a must!
Overall, we enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to our friends.
Thank you very much!

Saw more animals than I could imagine!!
Monkey Adventures was a great company to travel with. From the start of the research process for our Tanzania safari, Monkey Adventures consultants were prompt, detailed & very helpful with their responses. They were also patient while waiting for our responses and didn’t push us to make a quick decision like some of the other operators we were communicating with.
Our safari driver, Reggie, picked us up on scheduled time at 8:00 a.m. after our briefing by a representative of Monkey Adventures. We stopped by a nice grocery shop on our way out of Arusha so that we could get snacks and beverages. Reggie was patient in answering our hundreds of questions and stopped wherever we wanted to observe the animals and take pics. He has a sharp eye and could spot animals from great distances. We saw 4 of the Big Five in first 2 days and saw some pretty amazing scenes like a lion stalking a herd of Zebras, Migrating wildebeest herds, Cheetah with its cubs, elephants, giraffes, hippos and several other sightings...Reggie became a friend and I don't think we could have had a better guide.
Tukaone Camp in Serengeti and Sopa Lodge on Ngorongoro Crater rim were both superb places to stay on our safari. Monkey Adventures did a good job in choosing them for us. We were sorry to only have only 2 nights in Serengeti and one night at crater rim. We could have easily stayed for 2 more nights at Serengeti and one more night at crater rim.
Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this company and our guide, Reggie. After months of research on various companies, I chose Monkey Adventures based on their quick responses and their thorough explanation of everything we asked about. I was slightly worried at one point because they were also the cheapest priced but they exceeded all our expectations.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

An amazing experience!
AJ Trips organized a week-long Tanzania vacation for our group of 9, and everyone truly enjoyed the experience. The communication from AJ Trips leading up to and during the trip was excellent, and the digital itinerary we received was very detailed and informative. Both of our drivers were amazing - very knowledgeable, kind and dedicated to giving us the best experience and animal sights in the Serengeti. With great success! The whole trip was exceptionally well organized, from pick-up at the Arusha airport to the drop-off at the end of our tour. Truly a once of a lifetime experience thanks to AJ Trips!

A funny game drive in Masai Mara!!
Last January, my family and I had the 3-day, 2-night Masai Mara tour. Everything happened as it was publicized! Mr. Lennox was extremely attentive in whatsapp, the same as all drivers. Our guide, Alex, was generous in trying to show us all the animals and tell us about their habitat and customs. Two walks were included: to the Masai Mara village with one of its members, and along the banks of the Masai river with a park ranger. My son greatly enjoyed the experience of sharing moments with the Masai. The tent was very comfortable and quiet to sleep. The food provided was good. The trip from Nairobi to the Masai Mara park was nice, but you have to prepare yourself for a totally funny bumpy stretch!!
We really enjoy our trip and game drive in Masai Mara park with Axis AE & S!!

Great time in Uganda and Rwanda
We just came back from one of the most remarkable and memorable trips I have undertaken in recent memory. Nicholas was a darling all the way up until the moment he packed us back on our plane back home. We were impressed by Devine Africa Tours reviews and it being a local company run by locals.
Nicholas had prompt answers for all our questions, logical suggestions to enrich our itinerary and above all most reasonably priced for the same package. We initially thought that we could get substandard service for paying less but far from it we were hosted in the same excellent lodges that we had been shown in the other packages.
Nicholas made our trip fun with excellent English and magical guiding skills. He seemed to pull the animals from the ground and where we thought there was nothing, he ask us to look more keenly and we could see a lions or a leopard that could not see before. I guess this comes with experience and passion for the job.
For those going to Uganda or Rwanda I highly recommend Devine Africa Safaris and you will get a wonderful experience.

A wonderful trip with helpful and knowledgable staff!
Royal Tiger Tours and Safaris was wonderful! John, who worked with us, was very accommodating. He arranged for late check out on our last day to make our flights, drove us to the airport, and was available for any questions or needs we might have. The safari itself was amazing as well. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and the sites were beautiful. We will definitely be using Royal Tiger Tours and Safaris next time!

My experience with Bright Safaris on are 3days safari to Murchison falls is one of those moments I will live to remember, the driver guide we had was so knowledgeable and was willing to make all necessary stop overs to spice up our safari and the vehicles too are so comfortable.
Book yo next trip with these guys you won't regret it

Great tour off the beaten path
We did a 6 day Safari with Migration Ventures to Serengeti, Lake Victoria - Rubondo and Saanane. We found our guide waiting for us when we landed in Mwanza. We started in the small island of Saanane off Mwanza in Lake Victoria enjoying the sights of hippos and crocodiles in the water and small game in the park. The following day took us to Rubondo which is another very beautiful place with few visitors so we had the whole place to ourselves.
We then flew to central Serengeti and following the wildebeest to Ndutu and had an amazing time.
Migration Venture Africa organized an itinerary just the way we wanted making us very happy. They are a great company and we'll organize another tour to the South with them later in the year.
