epic
Hazina Africa provided a wonderful tour of Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro crater, lake Manyara, Arusha, Olduvai gorge, and Masai village. Serengeti was beyond expectation. Our guide and driver, Praise, provided exceptional service. We observed numerous wildlife though we were not there at peak season. Our guide emphasized and provided for our safety at all times. The company modified the tour for us according to the season and location of wildlife and length of tour. We appreciated the custom tour. The accommodations and food were outstanding. Our hosts were gracious and attentive and provided safety at all times.

We loved Kenya
Everything about this holiday was fantastic! We decided on Spirit of Kenya for our safari and this proved to be a very good decision. Liaison with Tiago from the start in deciding on the itinerary, accommodation etc was outstanding with emails replied to immediately and helpful suggestions and information always provided. Paying the deposit by transfer was straightforward. Transfers to and from the airport were included and Moses was a good driver - returning to the airport he even parked up and walked us to our queue to go into security. On the safari we had George as our guide and he was outstanding - extremely professional, friendly and a very safe driver. We had a van with a pop up roof and it was able to do everything that the more expensive land cruisers could do. We had a 7 day (6 nights) Safari and visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Mara and Lake Nakuru - all were fantastic. Accommodation and food were great throughout (we chose Comfort ‘Level 2’ from the 4 levels offered and it was perfect for us). We would not hesitate to recommend this company for a safari - we had no issues whatsoever. We stayed in Nairobi for a few days before and after the safari and we visited Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, the Elephant Sanctuary, the Karen Blixen Museum and Karura Forest. We also had a couple of pool days at the Intercontinental, where we were staying and which was also very good, with excellent security and friendly staff. The weather was generally sunny and warm (around 22- 25 degrees during the day in the 2 weeks we were there (cooler early in the morning and late evening). Kenya is a beautiful country and we found the people we met to be so friendly.

Our first amazing taste of Africa, extraordinary
We did a private 4-days safari in the parks of Tangagire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. It was a budget safari, so we sleep in camp sites but it was all very clean and confortable. Our driver and guide was amazing, he spotted lots of lions - even a leopard - along our drives, plus all the others kind of wild animals (elephants, giraffes etc). We were able to see all the big five - even a black rhino but very far away.
Food was good, thanks to our chef Ali, and we're italians (so we care a lot when we talk about food).
4-days was a perfect starter-pack to our first safari.

Trip of a lifetime to see epic migration
The safari was beyond my expectations in terms of the scenery, wildlife. The migration is on a scale that is hard to describe in words. If you love watching NatGeo, you'll love it! In fact we barely used binoculars since the animals were so abundant and close. (Animals are so used to vehicles that more or less ignore them) We saw the Big Five during our trip. Only animal we did not see at the Massai Mara was the Rhino. But we saw several at Nakuru. Those two are the top destination in my opinion. Amboseli and Tsavo offer very different vistas and are also very nice. In terms of accomodations. We booked mid-level accommodations. Mid-level were luxury resorts with excellent accommodations equivalent to 4 star resorts mostly. I can't imagine it being better honestly. Regardless of your budget, the animals, the scenery are all the same. If you do want to "go big" maybe flying into Maasai Mara to avoid the bad roads might be nice. But the drive gave us a chance to see various towns and cities along the way and get a small window into everyday life in Kenya. This is definitely kid-friendly trip. (tho I would not recommend for toddlers or infants). Go for it!

Blue Crane was able to engage both parents and teens in a fun, educational way.
Our family of four travelled on a 20 day private tour of Namibia with Blue Crane. I originally sent out a request to multiple tour companies with all of the activities we wanted to experience. Blue Crane was the most prompt and reliable in communication and were willing to work with all of my unique ideas. From the time we were picked up at the airport, until we were waiting online for the return flight, Blue Crane was there to take care of us. They made it seem effortless! Our guide provided us with so much insight into the geology, birds, animal behavior, history and culture of Namibia. Our guide and Blue Crane blew away our expectations!

This was one of the best experience in my life.
Staajabu Africa Travel not only that they have given me the best experiences of my life, but they have exceeded all of my expectations.
The team was great from start to of the whole tour. They were able to take me to the locations where all the animals where either watering or just lying under trees. This is something I dreamed of seeing since I was a child. I was fortunate see all the big and small animals. Some of which I was able to identify from reading books in my childhood years. Thank you Staajabu for making me so happy. I wish you and your staff every success in the years ahead of you.
