Our four days with Khalanga Safaris in and around Kruger National Park were outstanding.
Everything from first contact to departure was perfect. Our guide had superior knowledge and insight, pleasant, and a good storyteller. Excellent value tour at all points.

Strongly recommend monkey adventures. Masai village tour wasn't that great.
We did a 5 days safari with Monkey adventures in February covering masai mara and Amboseli national parks. We flew between Nairobi to masai mara and masai mara to Amboseli to save drive time and it was a good call!
For Masai Mara safari we got mr.Sammy, a masai as ourpunctual thnd for Amboseli it was Mr. Patrick. Both of them were wonderful but Mr. Sammy being a masai in his masai attire and with his stories of masai culture and history made our masai mara trip very memorable. He was born and raised in masai mara and knew every corner of the park and had friends everywhere in the park. At mara, we stayed at Sarova mara camp. It had nice service, great food but the room(tent) felt a bit smaller.
We took a masai village tour in masai mara but it felt staged and for most time people were trying to sell us stuff. I would suggest to avoid Masai village tour.
We flew to Amboseli in the afternoon of day 3 and were met by Mr. Patrick at airsrrip who was our guide for next 2 days. Patrick is professional and knowledgeable and he showed us lions, hyenas and many elephants and Buffaloes and other big and small animals at Amboseli. We stayed at serena lodge in Amboseli and it was lovely.
One particular thing we liked about monkey is they were very, punctual through out. Starting from our pickup at Nairobi airport, till the end of our safari every thing was planned and organized like clockwork which was not so self evident during our rest of trip in Kenya.
Overall, Im very pleased with our safari experience organized by monkey adventures.

Great experience
Edward was a great tourguide with a lot of knowledge. We booked a 7 day safari in low season, so it was not crowded at all. We changed cars and scedule a couple of times, but in the end we did everything we wanted, even though we skipped a few hours of safari due to the changes. Accomodation and food were better than expected. Overall a great experience. Would definately recommend.

Fantastic time
Everything was spot on. Only issue was food was a bit lousy at one of the lodges which after complaining the offered us a la carte so that made up for it. Thank you

Safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru
My girlfriend and I went for a 4 day safari covering Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru in September. It was fantastic! Our Land cruiser arrived at 7 AM sharp to receive us on the day of safari.
We had a comfortable drive to Masai Mara. As we arrived at Sekenani Camp, we were greeted with welcome drinks. The staff at the tented camp, (Ms.Grace?) were very accommodating, and the camp was beautiful.
The next morning, our day started with a Hot Air Balloon safari. We were picked up before sunrise for the balloon ride and post the safari, we had a nice champagne breakfast. It was an incredibly fascinating experience to get an aerial view of the landscape with the wild animals right below us. It had been in by bucket list for a long time and I am glad we were able to fulfil our wish. The day included game drives, and we were lucky to see 4 out of the Big 5 of Africa in the same day. We also had a visit to a local Masai village, and it was very interesting to know about their culture and activities something to treasure forever .
Our driver, Tony, was a fantastic guide as well. His knowledge about the animals was incredible. We had so many questions about the animals and the park, and he would answer each of them convincingly and patiently. He was a friendly guy, and ensured we reached every destination safely.
Next morning, we starting towards Nakuru. We had booked the Flamingo Hill tented camp, and our night stay there was amazing.
We had great sightings at Nakuru. The most memorable experience was a herd of Buffaloes and 2 Rhinos which crossed our path right in front of our vehicle.
On our last day, since we had some time, Tony suggested that we have a small stop at Lake Naivasha for a boat ride. We loved it, as we were taken close to the Hippos and amazing birds.
After a brief stop at the office, we were dropped off at the airport. I must admit it was the best trip in the recent past. We had discussed about our specific requirements in terms of food and other logistics, and everything was perfectly handled.
Thanks to Tony and Monkey Adventures, we had a fantastic safari experience. We would highly recommend their safaris.
Thanks!

Very professional yet personalized service, always attentive to detail, and offering recommendations
The entire trip was well planned, the accommodations outstanding, the drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging in conversation.
Sarah did a fantastic job of planning the itinerary, personalizing it, and even meeting up at the beginning and end of our tour to ensure we were completely satisfied.
Highly recommended.
