Credible, cost-effective, efficient 4-day Masai-Nakuru UPGRADE Landcruiser transport and Luxe accon
Dennis is the man who does the organization really well! We took a 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru private tour on a Landcruiser car and stayed in Lake Nakuru Lodge and Mara Sopa Lodge. We saw all the Big Five (and lots more) and had some exposure to a Masai community. From the initial touchbase communications, through deciding on the package, through tweaking of arrangements, payment options, and even decisions on upgrades, Dennis is there all the way through! We also had an awesome experience with driver, John, who has been very flexible and shared with us knowledge of the parks (he has done this for almost 20 years). Thanks again, Dennis for the flawless organization, competitive pricing, efficient communications, and the superb service by John our driver!

Totally exceeded our expectations!!
Wow, what a safai in the Masai Mara. Ester was excellent in her communications and booking of the safari. Francis, our driver and guide, was amazing with his knowledge, places to go and see the wild animals. We managed to see the migratoin hapening, saw elephants, giraffes, lions (sleeping & resting), cheetahs eating a kill, hyena eating a kill and many more. Francis was very accomodating, knew the Masai like the back of his hand and extremely knowledgeable, so much so that other drivers in their cars were asking him for advice and where to go.
Highly recommended and will use Natural World Kenya Safaris again on my next visit.

Fantastic trip to a fascinating country!
Our tour included the Murchinson Falls National Park (game drives and boat cruise + hiking to the falls), Chimpanzee tracking, Rhino tracking, a boat cruise on Lake Victoria, city tours in Kampala and Jinja. Even though the 5 days had been thoroughly planned by Immanuel beforehand, he was extremely flexible so that we could make some changes in the programme, add personal preferences as visiting local markets etc. Thanks to Immanuel's experience in finding the animals, we have enjoyed the great diversity of wildlife and even completed the Big Five! Also, the service and food in the lodges was excellent. As Immanuel lives in Kampala and knows many people there, we even had the chance to visit a carpentry workshop and see people working and living there. All in all, the trip was an extremely special and unforgettable experience, not only because of the multifaceted activities, but also because of our great tour guide who informed us very well about Uganda, its people, history and cultures.

Overwhelming experience!
I visited Kenya and Tanzania this August. African Paradise organized excellent two weeks safaris. I loved all the trip: hotels, camps and the drivers James and Steven! They tried to make safaris exciting, tell us a lot about animals and their habits.
Moreover, John was in touch all the time and helped to solve any arising questions.
Well, thanks a lot, guys! You did my trip unforgettable!
I’ll go back as soon as possible!

Excellent quality and service
We had Noel as a guide (ranger). He was excellent. The accommodations were of superior quality, the contacts with the organization and arranging in between were also perfectly arranged. We combined this with a week in Zanzibar. Tanzania Specialist does this well beyond expectations. We are more than satisfied.

Family experience of a lifetime!
Thankyou to Daniel Francis and the Transtrek Safaris team, we had a fantastic time and have memories for life. Daniel organised a 10 day safari around our wishes to visit Samburu NR, Lake Nakuru NP, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara and his knowledge, advice and communication were exceptional. We were very fortunate to have Tony as our guide and his knowledge of the flora and fauna was outstanding. Tony was great at ensuring our 10 and 12 year old daughters were always engaged and they loved his friendly and fun personality. Daniel gave us the option of visiting the Naboisho Conservancy on the edge of the Masai Mara, where the Masai are the landowners and are very involved in the running of the Wildlife Conservancy and see and reap the benefits of the conservation of wildlife. The Wilderness Camp in Naboisho is run by Masai, and it is a very special experience. We did a full day trip into the Masai Mara and saw an incredible array of game including a cheetah kill and leopard up close, but we also had fantastic game viewing in Samburu and Naboisho to match the Mara. The accommodation Daniel recommended and organised was exceptional, especially Intrepids Camp in Samburu and the Wilderness Camp in Naboisho Conservancy.
Thanks again to Daniel, Tony and the Transtrek team, great work!

SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!
First of all, me and my friends would like to express our sincere appreciation to you for all the organization of our wonderful safari in Kenya. We had requested Daniel to give us an Itinerary covering as many national parks as possible and we worked together to plan a completely personal and individually tailored itinerary that without a doubt was one of the best safari experience we have ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the 4 lodges and tented camps we spent the nights in. The parks and reserves were wonderful with varied animal species. We saw ALL kinds of animals from the big five at a close distance though leopard and rhino were quite difficult to see we got luck and did manage to see them. Others include crocodiles, hippos, lizards, jackals,hyrax... and some of this animals would even freely wonder around our camps… .quite scary!! but this was also part of what made this trip mind blowing. Our guide, John, out won all the other guides we have ever had on any trip. He was very pleasant, always accommodating to our needs and was very patient giving us enough time for picture-taking. Besides, he was extremely knowledgeable with a terrific sense of humor. His knowledge of the animals, birds, landscape and geography was really impressive and certainly added to our trip.
Having made our trip so wonderful I highly recommend this company. Absolutely No regrets!!

very good experience for a camping based 4 day safary
the 4 day safari (lake Nakuru and Masaai Mara) was very well organised. the camp and the hotel were clean and organised. Special mention to James, the driver, who has been excellent: he drove all the way safely but at the same time he always tried to get us a good spot to see the animals and was well connected so that we could arrive first where the animals were. He gave us information not only on animals but also on vegetation, so thumbs up!

Easy and friendly cancelation due to car problems
We have booked a safari when we ended up having troubles with our car. We forgot to tell the office so they contacted us since they were waiting at the pick up location to get us. The service was very friendly and easy, we could cancel the trip with no problems. Thank you very much!

Good relationship with price and service
It went really well as both the guide and cook were nice. However, the only complaint is that for our stay in Nakuru we ended up staying at another hotel which was not planned. The hotel where we stayed was old, dirty and not what we expected. I would recommend that the safari tour informs people before about this change because it came as a surprise . I think paying 100 usd per person for one night in this hotel was too expensive.
