Fantastic tour, providing a vivid taste of Kenya!
This tour was fantastic! I joined a group of 6 individuals. Great co-ordination in the collection of everyone and getting the tour on the road. Starting with a beautiful view of the Great Rift Valley and continuing to the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate Park. We saw so many different species of animals in large numbers, including the big five, and got a good sense of the country and it's gentle, smiley folk on the drive between parks.
The Maasai Mara was absolutely alive and watching the Wildebees migration was mesmerising. Meeting the colourful, authentic Maasai tribe in their village was a special treat. Hippos, Fish Eagles, Kingfishers and more teemed around us whilst on a boat on Lake Naivasha. Lake Nakuru Park, very lush in contrast to Maasai Mara, and the home of Rhino, huge flocks of Flamingos and many more species. Cycling through Hell's Gate park was an exhilarating experience (a must!) and walking in the quiet, massive gorge was fascinating and left me in awe.
Peter, our driver and guide, was extremely knowledgeable, very punctual and well organised. My second driver, Victor, was equally impressive, and shared with me interesting facts about the Kenyan culture and tribes.
Our accommodation was basic, comfortable and homely, and the staff were attentive and super-friendly. The tented camp in Maasai Mara just completed the whole safari experience.
Our meals were delicious, local fare and many had a special, spicy Indian flavour. Tito, our chef in the tented camp, kept us well-fed and his smile was as bright as the African sun!
This was a very special experience! Asante sana, Karibu Safari's!

Excellent friendly and professional guided canoe safari
Natureways provided an extremely professional safari experience. I messed the Natureways office around a lot with dates and logistics and they took it all in their stride and were in no way put out with my constantly changing plans and disorganisation, but were always willing to work around my plans. Their safari staff are true gentlemen that go out of their way all day to make sure that you are enjoying your time with them. In our case, we canoed from Chirundu to Mana Pools, and I spent the majority of the time on land fishing, while the guides set up camp and cooked amazing meals, and brought me cold beers. The guides were also very concerned for our safety, which is an important aspect of bush living with zero access to medical care. The guides were very interested and engaged and we had great fireside conversations where I learnt a lot from them. The equipment that we used was well maintained and good quality. Canoeing down the Zambezi River is definitely one of the best ways to experience the bush, drifting quietly past all kinds of animals that were aware of but unconcerned with our presence. I much preferred this to bouncing around in the back of a dusty truck. It was a dream safari for me, and I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone who has even the slightest interest in the bush.

Had a great time in Kenya and Tanzania
Went to Kenya and Tanzania with my family during summer break from college. We visited relatives and traveled all over the place. Everything went very smoothly. The highlight was spending a few nights at an all inclusive at Diani Beach.....so beautiful....with nice rooms and very good food (Neptune Resort).

Experienced a superb safari with budget
I chose 3 days budget safari.I arrived to Nairobi on 16 August.On next day morning safari team picked me from hotel.Honestly i was not expecting too much as it was budget safari but i had great time.Our group was of nine people with pop up van.Our driver has enough knowledge.He tried to give us better view of the wildlife so we could make good pictures. Accommodation was also good as luckily i was alone in my tent after 1st night as my other friend left in next morning.Food was amazing.Buffet breakfast ,lunch and dinner.Even 1 lunch we had while we were on game drive was very nicely organized.I visited Masai Mara village also and paid only 10 USD. Overall my Safari trip with TopCream was excellent.I will recommend it to others also.Very economic but beyond my expectations.

Amazing 4 days safari for a reasonable price
We had 4 days Safari (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater). The safari was very good organized, our guide picked us up from the hotel and then drove us to it. We had 3 tasty meals per day freshly cooked by chef who was driving with us. Our guide named China was very professional and positive person. With great pleasure he told us about every animal we met. Our group counted 6 person and everyone in the car had a comfortable place for themselves. Whole equipment like tents or sleeping bags was provided by Uhuru. To sum up, I can recommend everyone having safari with Uhuru Travel - great experience for a reasonable price :)

The personal approach from the proffesional guides makes this the best safari we ever had in years.
Communication before leaving and after arrival from the management makes you feel human instead of a number. Safari feels like hunting with a camera of course, the guides did work great together. Rest camp did feel like home.

Fabulous sighting ,guides stay and food. One of my memorable holidays.
The Safari tour was very well organised. The jeeps were sturdy . The guides were enthusiastic knew where to go, were knowledgeable about birds and wild life , and above all were safe and became our friends.
We had a fabulous holiday. We saw" prides " of lions , lionesses females watching their cutsy cubs , leopards, cheetah slumbering after their kill with a laisse faire benign look. Hippos chilling ,elephant , buffalos chomping ,giraffes necking , zebras crossing baboons bearing their babies. A feast for the soul.
The strangest of beasts the wilderbeest as Kevin our guide told " an animal made with left overs "... what discipline and steadfastness in their migration.
My knowledge of birds their behaviour, calls and "English" enhanced - monogamy of crowned crane , wizened features of the lapid faced vulture" , saqr- et - taire / secretary bird with it's quills, the superb starling with its jewel colors waiting for the crumbs...
Will definitely return with the king of Africa safaris to see the king of the forest :))

amazing experience
I couldnt complain about a single thing. Our guide Daniel was very good to us and had deep knowledge about animals and nature and a very patient guy. Food was goos, sleeping also. And the most amazing thing about them are their cheap price. Im a low budget person and if it wasnt for them, i could not even have gone to a safari. Huge price difference between them and other companies.
Good job guys, thank you for everything.
