Trip of a lifetime!
Wild Secret Safari is truly deserving of the 5 star recommendation. Me and my friend engaged them recently for our safari great migration trip in Tanzania. It was worth of our every dollar. We took the camping style accommodation. Musa (director) and Rashid (secretary) was so detailed in planning the itinerary that there was no hiccups. This agency also catered halal meals for Muslim travellers too.
Our guide, Elia Edward was truly a brilliant guide. He has a great understanding of animals behavior. He was able to anticipate that the lion will looked back over his right shoulder and told my friend to standby for her camera as it's gonna be a nice shot. In wildlife photography, every second counts.
Rama, our cook who tagged along with us throughout the whole trip was amazing too. He prepared for us delicious food everyday and I'm not exaggerating lol. I'm still amazed on how he can cooked so well in the wilderness. On our last night, Rama went an extra mile to cook dinner base on our request. Rama and Elia helped us in setting up our tentage too. They took good care of us throughout the journey.
Thank you Wild Secret Safari and the whole team for making our safari trip a memorable one.

Excellent Day Trip through Nairobi National Park
I had the pleasure of arranging a morning game drive through Nairobi national park with Mufasa and was very satisfied with the experience from start to finish. Joseph was very helpful in planning the safari, very responsive throughout and provided various options and insights to help me satisfy my objectives. Given limited time and having previously been on safari for 5 days earlier in the summer without having seeing a Rhino, I was able to see a white Rhino up close and personal with my guide Paul on the game drive with Mufasa. Paul was very educated on the wildlife in the park and was also friendly and great company for the day. I look forward to booking a more extended safari with the company in the future when I have more time and return back to the country again to visit from Canada. Thanks again Joseph and team!

6 Days Big Cats Safari pro and cons.
I have booked by them 6 Days Big Cats Safari Package.
2 nights Samburu National Reserve - Samburu Sopa Lodge.
1 night Lake Naivasha - Lake Naivasha Country Club.
2 nights Masai Mara - Zebra Plains Mara Camp.
Communication wit the company before the trip was fast and efficient. I made them full prepayment for the trip.
Before the trip I have informed that it is very important for me to start all activities just after sunrise and finish just before sunset as I am interested in photography. JUs before the trip they have changed the accommodation by Lake Naivasha for Kongoni Lodge. I have informed than that tis lodge have some negative comments on Tripadvisor and they answered that all lodges there have similar quality.
Samburu Sopa Lodge - Samburu NAtional Reserve.
I can only recommend this park and this lodge. On the first day we saw the pack of 7 wild dogs and leopard.
On the second day 4 leopards, 1 cheetah and 5 lions. Lodge was very good with good restaurant. In in the park however to the places we saw animals it takes 30 minutes of drive. Food at lodge was great. WIFI available only in restaurant area was slowly. In the rooms was available European plugin to recharge the batteries.
Kongoni Lodge.
First of all the drive from Samburu to Naivasha took 8,5 hours. Much more than planned. We arrived at 15.30.
I did not like this place. It is very remote place. Additional 30 minutes drive. They charged me 50 USD for the boat trip close to the lodge. In the itinerary they wrote me that the boat trip cost 25 - 30 USD. In this lodge they do not give food for drivers. So the driver did not get dinner and breakfast.
Lake Naivasha boat trip. However overpaid it was interesting 2 hours. I saw hippos from very interesting photography perspective. @ giant kingfishers, many pied kingfishers, Nubian woodpecker, many pelicans, spoonbills, African fish eagles and sandpipers. The trip was OK.
Zebra Plains Mara Lodge.
The place was nice. Restaurant good. WIFI available at the restaurant area but was slowly. Minus was that it takes up to 25 minutes to come to the gate of the park.
Masai Mare - very good plac to spot predators. In 3 days I saw 2 prides of lions with the kill. Once with wildebeest second with buffalo. First day 5 cheetahs and on the second day the same 5 cheetahs and one female. Disadvantage of this park is that there are plenty of tourist and if any predators are found immediately are many cars around.
David was very good driver and guide. He was able to find many of animals. He had the radio in the car so he easily communicate with others drivers if they found something. It was really pleasant to travel with him through Kenya.
Cons - on the second day in Masai Mara at 17.00 driver informed me that we must finish the safari for today. In fact he used the limit of petrol. I lost 1,5 hour of the day in the very good afternoon light for the photography. This was the question of refilling the car for additional 15 liters of petrol - 1500 schilling - 15 USD..... He solved the problem for next day and we started at 6.30 a.m.
Second small minus was travel time. The way from Samburu to Naivasha took us 8,5 hours. So we have been almost late for the boat trip. There were no issues on the road. So simply travel time was planned unrealistic.
Overall - the itinerary of the trip was very good. I saw and took pictures of all big cats and as bonus of wild dogs.
The driver David was very experienced and saved the trip. The company organized the trip with some minuses. I would suggest if you are photographer to underline with them how important is for you to be just after sunrise and before sunset in the park. If you simply want to see the cats it is enough to come a little later because thank to the radio the will find them all. Also do not agree to change the lodges from those which are in the original plan. If you ask me if I would book with them again I would answer yes. But confirm precisely all details.

Exellent and professionel
We were two grandparents and a 14 years old grandson, that looked forward to a great adventure. We really didnt know what to expect. We saw Tarangier, Serengeti, Ngorongoro with the Crater and Lake Manyara National Parks. And it was GREAT. We saw really many animals thanks to the exellent guide and driver Jacob. We saw the big five and so much more. Even a leopard in a tree with a dead impala. And a climbing lion. We loved staying in tents in the nights. We heard a group os zebras running close to our tent. We enjoyed the perfect meals made by our exellent chef Matthew. During the days we had a lot of fun in our group. We can highly recommend the Wild Life Oasis Tours to arrange your next safari. They have great prices and you can have your safari put together just as you want.

Unforgettable Tanzania
We booked a 10 days customized safari program in the southern circuit including the Selous
Game Reserve, Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha national parks. Before coming to Tanzania the
communication and planning was excellent - thank you so much Chacha! Our guide/driver for
the trip was Fred. He is a very experienced guide who seems to know everything about the
animals, vegetation and Tanzania land in general. We kept asking questions and always got very
comprehensive answers.
Fred navigated the dirt roads in the parks and knew his way around the vast landscapes, and
sometimes offering help to other less experienced guides. We experienced many long laughs
together and had many interesting conversations sharing.
We still keep in touch with Chacha! So do book your Tanzania safari with Africa Endless
Cruising Safaris and make a request for Fred to be your guide. You will not be disappointed.

Kilimanjaro Climb - excellent support from the moment we arrived at the airport until we left.
The whole team where incredible, catering g to our every need on the mountain. As a group with disabilities we were not sure about how long each day would take. The team leader Richard monitored our progress and adapted each days programme to suit our needs. The whole team were amazing, supporting us as individuals and as a group. Ot was a challenging trek, but with the support of the Tanzanian Travel Company we were able to fulfil our dream of summiting Kilimanjaro. Excellent care was taken of the team members who needed to leave the mountain early.
