Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Valter
The rhinos make it worth. Otherwise, there's not much else to offer. Do not expect to see all those flamingos usually seen on travel magazines... They are much easier spotted (and in bigger number) in other lakes.

AWESOME
Our guide was wonderful, very skillful driver, extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, the area, Maasai, everything. It was the trip of a lifetime. Staying in the tent village was quite a wonderful experience and we had a Maasai warrior to walk us to our tent after dinner both nights. We saw lions hunting, zebras marching in single file, two wildebeasts fighting, an elephant scratching behind his ears, more wonders than I can recount. We saw giraffes, baboons, hippos, crocs, you-name-it. Wonderful trip, you will love it. There were beautiful serene lodges, too. The weather was wonderful about a high of 84. The food was quite good and not too strange :)

Amazing wildlife and cultural trip
Amazing wildlife, with very beautiful landscapes. Warm people and superb culture. Only one tip: do not count your transfer times according to any distance (6-7 hours are usually needed for traveling less than 200km).

A wonderful experience of the beauties and wildlife of the East African savannah.
Our guide, Mussa, of Roam Serengeti Safaris did an excellent job. He communicated in a timely manner before the safari when we were making arrangements from the U.S. Every detail of itinerary came about, as planned. He was flexible and accommodating, to make it truly a custom safari that met our budget and tastes. Mussa was extremely knowledgeable and seemed to anticipate what we most wanted to know about the animals and observe--and we did see all we had hoped for, including the wildebeest migration. He was a careful driver, most appreciated since we covered many miles on our 6-day safari. He started out as our guide and ended as our friend. Equally important, we were pleased to go on safari with a young Tanzanian managing his own business. We would highly recommend Mussa and his safari company.

Safari guide Mansur knows his stuff! Saw every animal could think of, even a tree-lounging leopard!
Lydia booked me into lodge accommodations that were very nice, as promised, and I was joined with a great group of people from all over the world. We may have been a bit concerned about the transport on day one but it became clear that the vehicle could perform and is solid. Overall I was thrilled with all the animals and the non-stop work that Mansur put in to show us as much as possible in a short Safari! Thanks

One day layover tour
We had a 18 hour layover in Nairobi and wanted a day tour to get the most out of the day. Communication was very good from the start via email with very quick responses. We booked a private driver/tour guide for the day with pick up and drop off at the airport. The driver/guide was very good at getting us around the national park and we were able to see practically every animal, this was the highlight of the trip!! The other stops were the giraffe centre and elephant sanctuary and somewhere for lunch, which was just okay.
After seeing a lot of giraffes at the park, I wish we didn’t spend more money to go to the giraffe centre (it was very expensive day as is). We were hoping by booking a private tour that our guide would be able to give us some local insight into other things to see or do or suggest great things to try and eat. Unfortunately, our guide didn’t seem very knowledgeable or perhaps not willing to share a lot of information/facts and didn’t take us any where other than the main tourist hot spots even after asking for other suggestions as we had spare time. Basically our guide didn’t say much unless we had questions. This was a stark difference from a private tour we did prior to this one where the guide was VERY informative. Overall the driver/guide was very nice but we are disappointed in the little information we actually learned about Nairobi or Kenya. I would recommend this company if you need a private safari tour only.

mixed feeling
We booked a 11 days Safari with Chabo including Selous, Mikumi, Ruaha and Udzungwa. We had very good time with our guide (who was not the supposed this one at first) and lodging and food were great. However the relationship with Chabo has not been really friendship. After 3 days our guide was still not there (fortunately the woman at our lodge in Selous was a wonderful person and guide) and they lied to us several time on the reason why. We finally understand that they had problems with the car. Chabo then rented a cheap open car (without seat belts) to take us from Selous to Mikumi that was not really adapted for the long drive to Mikumi. We finally met our guide at Mikumi rather than at Selous as first programmed. Later, without explanation either, they replaced a correct car, which we only kept for two days, with another car in quite poor condition. We realized also that our planing was not quite logical since it would have been less waste of time to go first to Udzungwa after Mikumu and not after Ruaha. Nevertheless we had a really great time because the parks in the South are all fantastic with not too many people, all the guides we had were great, professional, kind and helpful and because tanzanian people are really welcoming in general. Most of Chabo's good reviews are certainly deserved, but it would be a pity if the reputation they have built up over the years were to begin to fall apart through a certain lack of respect and consideration for customers.

Incredible trip, the Wildbreaks Safaris is the BEST!
I travel a lot, first time in Kenya and this was one of my the best experiences during 6 days-safari (Masai mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli). The tour guide, Charles was very patient, had a great knowledge and answered our all questions. The locations, where we stayed overnight were magical. I highly recommend the African wild teams safaris!
