Great experience
I recently enjoyed a remarkable 3-day safari in the Maasai Mara with Joyina Safaris. From the moment we arrived, their knowledgeable guides provided insightful commentary on the wildlife and ecosystem. The accommodations were comfortable and well-located, enhancing our experience. We witnessed breathtaking scenes, including the Great Migration and stunning sunsets over the savannah. Joyina Safaris ensured every detail was taken care of, making the trip seamless and unforgettable. Their commitment to sustainability and community engagement was also commendable. I highly recommend Joyina Safaris for anyone seeking an authentic and immersive Maasai Mara adventure.

Owner Amani ran away with the money
Amani (the owner) or nobody else from Kipok showed up to pick us up and did not answer any of our several calls. They left us alone in Tanzania and kept the deposit we paid.
We later found out that other tourists had the same experience. The police department in Arusha is taking care of this case. You can check other people’s reviews on Google and TripAdvisor too.

Perfect! Communication fast and precise!
We made a 7 days safari choosing them due to the super reviews and the choice has been perfect.
Bildad since the beginning has been fast and precise in communicate and organize the best tour for us, included a private transfer with a comfortable car and a very kind driver!

The best experience of my life
Excellent safari experience through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park. The service is impressive and the people are very friendly. Our guide Bakali showed us the most secret corners of the parks where we could see all kinds of animals and birds, obviously including the big 5! We took the option of sleeping in tents and it was a great idea. Everything is set up, everything is thought out, everything is included. If you just want to get to the airport and not think about anything else but seeing animals, then don't hesitate, book this safari. Special mention for the food, which was out of this world. Our cook James made fresh, homemade and incredible dishes for every moment of the day. One of the best experiences of my life, without a doubt.

Zambezi Expedition Experience
We visited Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls and safari in Hwange National Park. Our choice to coordinate our tour was Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours. From the beginning Silence and Oscar were very helpful in providing all details requested and giving us a comfortable feeling about or upcoming ordeal. Once we arrived, driver Francis complemented the friendly vibes. During the tour, we were treated to magnificent views and experiences at both Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park. The accommodations (Victoria Falls Rainbow Hotel and Hwange Safari Lodge) we all first class. Our guided walk at Victoria Falls was accompanied by a Zambezi River sunset cruise. Both delighted us and brought forth heightened feelings of excitement. Likewise, the safari experience at Hwange was powerful and allowed us to view a large variety of wildlife in their natural habitat. Zambezi Expedition Travel worked with us to fine-tune our personal requirements and really helped make our total experience remarkable. This tour agency is highly recommended and, in our opinion, will provide a truly high value experience for the cost.

Really disappointed...
I had a safari with Absolute Holidays Safari in Tanzania. For 2 nights, the lodge booked was not the expected one (a little bit not so good of course). Another day, instead of lodge, I had a camp, with no compensation. Also company in Kenya doesn't want to give name and info about the corresponding company in Tanzania. Transportation was low quality (old vehicle, driver always lost, really not a guide). Last day, I quite missed my plane (several changes in cars; arriving at airport 2 minutes before door closing !). For other people in the car (2 from Miami, 2 from Melbourne) with the same problem in lodges bookings. Avoid this company to organize your tour.

Best Safari ever and resort at the beach
After a deep research regarding where to begin with the world of Safaris, we decided that Kenya was the perfect choice, so we contacted more than ten tour operators and local agencies.
The majority of them were not flexible and did not adapt to our requirements, however Balu made everything easy, cost affordable and personalized until the smallest detail. Everything was ready before our arrival and between Morris (POC of Balu) and Denis (driver and guide) we had a great welcome at the airport and felt ourselves as locals after 3 days of private Safari. In addition to this, we decided to finish our trip in Diani Beach to relax, sunbathing and scuba diving and the recommendation of hotels made by Balu could not be better. We had Peter waiting to pick us up at the airport and the return.
As a summary, we have already recommended Balu to several friends and we hope to reach to them soon for another trip.

Fantastic beginning to end
Mary was a superstar beginning to end! She listened to what we wanted from our trip and organized it without fault, including coming to meet us at the end to make sure everything had gone smoothly.
Mary responded within a matter of hours to emails and explained everything which meant the trip went really well.
The best thing to do is have a think about what you want from your trip and communicate that to Mary and she will be able to build a schedule that suits you.

Breach of trust and stole our money
We had excellent service from the guide and the supervisor on site but sadly we add a really bad experience with Mack. We add to pay 1400$ US more on site because if we did not our safari could not happen and we already paid a deposit and the plane ticket. It was suppose to be refund by the end of the trip. We did trust Mack because we already did a safari in 2019 and we as a great Experience but this time we happen to be stoled 1400$ us so we really dont recommend this company
