Loved it
We did two nights in Kruger with a very experienced guide. Great on details of all animals. Saw many animals, including the Big 5! Then two nights in Sabie Sands. More luxurious and closer to animals because they drove off road. Also saw a good variety of animals. Very close to rhinos, leopard and female lions.

Perfect destination for your first safari
On our 2 weeks trip in Kenya, one thing that was constant was the genuine warmth and kindness of the Kenyan people. I would go again to Kenya only for interacting with them. Second, the country is blessed with so much natural beauty and we were lucky to experience the savannah, lakes as well as the coastal landscapes. On top of these 2 points, Masai Mara being a smaller park than Serengeti has higher concentration of animals and on my first safari, I was lucky to spot the Big 4 - Lions, Cheetahs, Leopard, Cape Buffalo & African Bush Elephant. In Nakuru park, we were lucky to spot both the White and Black Rhino. Naivasha lake boat ride was a beautiful experience and a sight to behold and must recommended. I would avoid the Hell's Gate national park though. The coastal towns of Mombasa, Malindi and Watamu have some of the nicest beachscapes I have seen and the vibe is really cool for beach lovers and for chillout after the dusty safaris. I hence, would recommend for any first time safari goers to opt for Kenya due to easy accessibility and lesser travel within the country to be able to see more in a lesser amount of time.

Best vacation ever
This was a dream of mine and Migada Adventures made it happen. I had excellent hotels, guides and everything in between. If you want to see the best of Tanzania I suggest you call them!!

Amazing Safari with Massawe Adventures
Outstanding level of service! We were greeted like friends and truly cared for in every aspect of our time with Massawe Adventures. the guides / drivers were extremely knowledgeable about the fauna and flora and very entertaining. They spoke fluent English and showed a real love for their country and were delighted to show me and my family around. The days were full of adventure with jaw dropping scenery, amazing people, real experiences and fantastic photo opportunities. We found ourselves in places that you see on nature documentaries. Places I have only dreamed about going to. We watched herds of elephants bathing, thousands of wildebeest and zebra on the Serengeti grasslands, lions rubbing against our vehicles in the Ngorongoro Crater, and many, many more amazing sites. But being there is the whole experience! Massawe Adventures were able to show us the real Tanzania, we didn't even feel like tourists! With their excellent local knowledge they were able to take us to places that are off the normal tour operators radar, which I believe vastly increased our enjoyment and gave us a unique holiday experience. Definitely the proper way to see the beautiful and awe inspiring Tanzania in the care of the professionals that are Massawe Adventures. Thank You so very much!

Alex was the BEST tour guide; very informative, knowledgeable, and accommodating!
Morning Star Tours were absolutely amazing to work with, from beginning to end. They were swift in response to email with all questions and concerns we had before booking. Alex, our tour guide picked us up from our hotel, on time, with a smile on his face, and cool waters to drink at anytime. We stopped half way to Amboseli for a 30 minute bathroom break and local shopping. We also stopped at a Maasi village to meet the people and learn more about their lifestyle. Before we even arrived in the park, we started seeing giraffe, and Alex was most accommodating to us excited Americans, slowing down so we could see them better. Once inside the park, we learned Alex has the best eye for spotting wildlife and was extremely knowledgeable about the different animals, where they hang out, and what times of day they are where. The hotel, Ol Tukai Lodge was AMAZING with views of Mt Kilimanjaro and the animals (elephants, gazelle, zebra, baboon) from almost every spot on the property. The food was also AMAZING, with so much to chose from, salads, rices, meats, fresh fruit, etc. You will not go hungry! The staff at Ol Tukai were extremely attentive, greeting you with a cool, wet cloth when you arrive and carrying your luggage to and from your hotel room. All in all, not only will we use Morning Star again, we would 100% recommend this tour group and Amboseli to all of our friends and family.

Very great agency, know the area like the palm of hand!
This was my 2nd trip with the agency, and every thing was fine! First the Kilimanjaro, one of the greatest experience of my life! Great guides, great organisers. The food was delicious even on the mountain!
Then this year I went back because Tansania is a beautiful country, many things to see with friendly locals, great food drinks and the landscape was great, so I decided the go back to Mt Meru. I have been to some places all aorund but trust me, Mt meru is a very goo hiking to a 4000er mountain and the sunrise worth anything! With the Kili in the background, tha land before your feet...must have!

Kenya was so much better with BosoDabreo
From the start Lydia was so easy to work with, she has an itinerary, ready with the places you’re staying the activities that will be taking place the time it takes to get to the new locations etc. Lydia is great with communication and responds promptly. The driver and guide Geoff is the best of the best, he is untouched when it comes to safaris. He is kind, respectful and so informative. He explains the animals and their habits but he knows exactly how to find and spot the animals, even if they’re miles away.
Money wise this your was well under my budget which was worth it. Having already gone on the tour I would still say it’s worth more, so the value for this tour is definitely well worth it.
I will be going on more tours with this company with groups and with my family. I can’t wait to see what Lydia has in store for other countries in Africa.
