Unforgettable
Our 5 days safari ended with an unforgettable experience. From Nairobi we headed to Amboseli which is a paradise of animals munching their way with a backdrop of Africans tallest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro. The staff at Altukai Lodge were friendly and we had no doubt it was a good choice. The next day we drove to Lake Naivasha, after lunch, we had a boat ride and a walk in the crescent Island. On the third day, we left for masai mara, on what we expected to be a short drive, as per the communication that we had received from the company alse we were not a bit disappointed that we were not informed it was on a rainy season, it turned out to be a muddy one. The evening game drive was a real african experience having to come out of jeep to push, which was stuck, what a scare! Patrick our experienced driver called out for help via a radio call, and we were amazed by the quick rescue we got and walaa! we got back on the road. We were lucky to find a pride of lions which was about to make a kill. The following day in masai mara, we had a chance to visit mara river, there were numerous hippos and crocodiles basking on the banks of the mara river, the climax of our last day safari was the picnic lunch on the open grasslands overlooking the beautiful savannas. such an unforgettable experience. we simply couldn't have enough of game viewing.
Our last part of the safari was at Diani beach, and we did not have to drive back to Nairobi we flew from Masai to Diani with amazing Kilimanjaro view while on this small bush aircraft.
The white sand beaches were what we needed to wind up our safari just lazing at the beach while listening to the soothing sound of the ocean waves.
Thank you for amazing tour.

Very satisfied with the safari on all locations, guides were very experienced and skilled
Everything was well organised in the Safari and both our drivers-guides were experienced and gave every effort to spot as many animals as possible. More or less the program was kept as originally agreed. Completely satisfied by the tour operator.

Amazing experience, big recommendation
The safari was an exceptionally incredible experience! From the beginning to the end, we enjoyed it. Our tour guide was amazing, very knowledgeable, welcoming, and took our wishes into account. The lodging was great, especially the tented camp, hearing many wild animals while sleeping and seeing footprints as proof of their visit around the tent in the morning, and the Rhino Lodge, for its beautiful location and the fact that we had elephants visit us while the sun was setting.
The communications on pick-up, lodging, costs, etc were all very clear. The lunches were great, with the first day having a warm lunch and the other days having a quintessential 'boxed' lunch. The dinners were all buffet-style, but with plenty of options (incl. vegetarian).
We want to pay some special attention to our guide, Wilson. He was a vital part of making our safari the success that it was. He shared a lot of his knowledge on the nature and wild animals.
It's been worth the money and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best Africa safari with Native Afrika
We just came back from 6 days safari from Kenya with my wife that was an experience that we will cherish. This was our second visit on safari to Kenya and i must say that it surpassed our previous one. We had Alex who we requested not because we knew him but after going through the reviews, Charity the agency consultant did not hesitate to allocate him after our request.
After going through the safari options that they offered we decided on this safari to shorten on the distances and long hours on the road. Lake Nakuru to see the flamingos although they were very few at the lake at this time of the year, but we saw lots of rhinos in this park that was also reason of opting for a night at this park, we continued for the second day at lake Naivasha that was just 2 hours with excursions in the lake and walk with the animal's sanctuary. we finally went to Masai Mara and the safari as expected was nothing short of a memorable adventure. Alex safari long experience made us see all of the big 5 and giraffe calving and almost a lion kill.
We were surprised at Mara serena with a birthday cake for my wife that was arranged without our knowledge by Charity (Thank you for)
The hotels that we stayed at were very good worth every coin, with good food, amazing locations and best customer service.
Thank you, NAV, for making our Africa safari an adventure that we will cherish.
Looking forward for another safari.
I would highly recommend them.

Customized Tanzania Safari of a Lifetime (Good Vibes)
I cannot say enough good things about the trip planners and drivers/guides working with Easy Travel and Tours out of Arusha, Tanzania. Before heading to medical school I decided to plan a trip with my sister to go on safari in Tanzania. Having experience with safaris I knew what I wanted to see and where I wanted to go but I did not know what travel agency to use. After doing a deep dive into many travel agencies in the area I decided on Easy Travel because of their incredible reviews from past clients and their ability to truly customize a safari itinerary. Easy Travel and Tours planned our trip and made it operate seamlessly. I worked closely with Amina who helped to make my dream safari vacation come true. She walked me through our options for length of stay, accommodations, locations, etc. For months we went back and forth with our ideas until we had created a trip of a lifetime, and that is exactly what it turned out to be. I cannot thank Amina enough for her incredibly thorough and passionate work with us. Once we arrived in country we met our driver guide, Ombeni. If we hadn't seen a single animal, the trip still would've been incredible because we got to speak with and learn from Ombeni every day. He was eager to tell us about his life story and his family, as well as about the Maasai people and the wildlife that we saw. He took us on an unbelievable safari with sightings I could never have imagined. We even listened to tons of American music during the long drives between camps so we called the trip "Zuri Vibes" meaning "Good vibes". And good vibes there were all around during this once in a lifetime trip. Easy Travel and Tours and their friendly and passionate staff made this a trip I will never forget. I have already recommended Easy Travel to family and friends if they are looking for a safari vacation and If I am ever back in Tanzania, I know what company I will be using to plan my trip. Thank you Amina, Ombeni and the entire Easy Travel and Tours staff for your commitment, dedication, passion and desire to truly become friends with your clients. It made all the difference!

My Adventure in Kenya
For some time I had been thinking about a trip to Kenya, and when my friends Mara and Tiziana proposed it to me, I immediately accepted. So I discovered Africa Vision Safari, I didn't know it and many doubts arose. But on arrival in Nairobi, the welcome from Nicholas (owner of the agency) dispelled all doubts. Our trip was divided in 5 stages. All organized, no hitches, accommodation as requested by us. The jeep at our disposal a little dated but it has fulfilled its duty. Our driver Gerald deserves special attention, always ready for our every request, attentive to the guide, and in safaris perfect in approaching animals, taking care not to disturb them. Overall I would say excellent, if I were to return to Kenya I would immediately choose Africa Vision Safari.
I add a note of service ... an overhaul to the jeep would not be bad.

AMAZING SAFARI
Our maiden African safari was just but amazing, our destinations were well selected, and Simon our Safari guide, gave us an unforgettable experience, From Nairobi we drove north to sweet waters with the first stop at the equator. A superb hotel which gave us a privilege to watch animals from the dining room taking water at the watering hole. Our next destination was in Nakuru, we stayed at Sopa lodge which is on a cliff which gives a vantage view of the lake and the park. Early morning drive, we drove to Masai Mara, Ashnil Lodge which was suggested by Sally and turned out to be the best. We were privileged to see the Big Five and a chance to visit the masai tribe in masai mara. We had the best experience of watching hippos, crocodiles and other animals at a close range. She also arranged for a balloon Safari which gave us a lifetime experience. Back to Nairobi on our last day, we had a city tour and finally transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris as your agent of choice.
