Incredible safari
We had a fantastic holiday in Kenya, one of our best so far. Anthony from Tazama Africa Holidays, organized a 3 days/2 nights safari which went perfectly smoothly. Before we arrived in Kenya, he was quick to reply to any of our inquiries and he also provided tips on the organization of the trip. Once in Kenya, we decided to stay a couple of days in Nairobi to recover from the jet lag and the long haul to be fully rested before the safari. On the first day of the safari, early in the morning, Anthony picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the airport to take a flight to the Maasai Mara and he also took care of us when we were back in Nairobi, he was always punctual.
In the Maasai Mara reserve, we were greeted on the airstrip by Charles, our Maasai guide. Charles was a great guide, excellent at tracking animals. He was also knowledgeable about the wildlife and it was a pleasure to hear him explain some fun facts about animals that we can now share on our turn with our friend and... Read more family. He was driving us in an open sided jeep (as well as the roof) which was ideal to comfortably observe the scenery while driving and take pictures from different angles.
During the safari, we stayed at the Maasai Mara Sopa which is a lovely lodge at the entrance of the reserve. We were very pleased with the accommodation, it was cute and clean, and the staff was extremely kind. Initially, we’d prefer to stay in a tented camp but we booked our trip too late, so we’d advice to book as early as possible if you look for that type of experience (fyi, we booked in March for a safari in July).

Excellent Safari Experience
We had a really good guide, Holly, with us who was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and about the locations in general. The accommodation selection was good. The safari took us quite deep into the national parks and we saw a lot of wildlife including 3/5 of the big five.

amazing Safari
Safari in Ruaha and Mikumi National Parks was really amazing , we enjoyed the trip and definitely would recommend. Our guide John was a very good end experienced leader, explained a lot for us about the animals and took a good care of us. The camps were all good same as the food. We were lucky to see so many wild animals. ismila was a very interesting experience as well. Amos the manager was always available to communicate and coordinate the payment and organisation process very well.

Game drive in Tanzania and beach in Zanzibar - Perfect organisation
Just returned from the private tour (4 couples) organized via email and what's app based on our requests. 6 days in Tanzania (Arusha, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) and 3 in Zanzibar. For me and my husband it was the first safari. We had evaluated many hypotheses and estimates, we did not know MAMASAVANA before and we were very satisfied with the choice. Everything went better than expected; the stages are well organized, the lodgings are excellent, the drivers are able, the cars are comfortable. We were lucky also as a weather (never too hot during the day and never cold at night) and as animal encounters (Ngorongoro rhinoceros, lion on the tree at Manyara, lactation, mating, hunting). We felt immediately in good hands: Alex and John, brothers as different as they are complementary, have shown attention to every detail (for example, we got Arusha by flight at 5 in the morning, they made us immediately find the rooms available in the hotel; when it was a delay by the airline... Read more on the domestic flight they took us to lunch in a nice complex). John, who speaks excellent Italian, has been with us throughout the safari, and with him and the drivers (Adam and Gilla) we spent very pleasant hours, (including an impromptu game of pool with a Masai).

Great company to work with when traveling to Kenya
We just returned from Kenya - - this was the second time that we worked with Robert and Karibu Safaris. My wife has family in Kenya and Robert was extremely helpful in helping us to organize a highly customized itinerary. We traveled all over Kenya and Tanzania by train, plane, and auto and everything went incredibly smoothly. Any request that we had (and there were a few) Robert graciously accommodated. He was patient with us as we kept shifting our plans (so we appreciated his flexibility). I will be forever grateful to Robert for retrieving my daughter's passport from a hotel safe and arranging safe transport (for the passport) from Nairobi to Mombasa. Saved us incredible headaches. He helped us stay calm and enjoy our trip (knowing that he had a potentially highly problematic situation covered)
