Tuma was fantastic, informative, and kind. He made the whole experience!
We chose the mid-luxury option for our 5 day honeymoon, our expert was Julie and guide was Tuma.
-Julie was really helpful in giving us iterative feedback on how we mapped and utilized the time and budget for maximum enjoyment!
-Mid-luxury was perfect, the accommodations were way nicer than I expected - they were clean, stylistic, excellent food and service. We were sad to leave each place. Each place was slightly different, and it's hard to choose our favorite!
-One thing that stood out to me was the car that Brilliant Safari used. A safari is essentially a multi-day roadtrip in rugged terrain, so having a really comfortable and modern and safe car is really critical. Our car was the best one we saw!
-As a vegetarian, I was a little nervous about the food options, but I was really well taken care of. Things were well-flavored, healthy, and balanced.
-The experience itself was amazing. Tuma knew what we were interested in seeing, and spent time teaching us and answering all our questions. He was willing to wake up early when we wanted to, stay later when we wanted to, noticed when we were feeling tired, etc.
-Speaking of Tuma, I highly recommend him! He was a legend on the road and seemed to train so many folks, so it was nice to be with someone so well experiened.
-After evaluating almost 10 safari companies, we chose Brilliant because of the value and Julie's responsiveness and approachability. After the safari, I'm so glad we did that!

Unforgettable memories
Just back from an amazing 3-day safari in Masai Mara with Kevin Mimi š¦šš¦ Truly unforgettable as I finally managed to spot a cheetah TWICE and so many wildlife! He never rushed us and always took the time to find the best spots. Every drive felt special from watching big cats up close to the countless giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest around us. His patience and good attitude made the whole experience incredible!

Great tour company with best guide ever Johnson
Did the 4 day.3 night safari with Johnson staying in Amboseli and Tsavo West and Tsavo East... Accomodations and food were very nice... Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge in West Tsavo was my favorite on the trip with great food and the best hotel waterhole I ever stayed at in Africa with so much wildlife. Voi Safari Lodge in East Tsavo was also very nice with a very nice waterhole too... Sentrim Amboseli Lodge was my my least favorite as it was a lower standard than the other lodges and much colder at night with a thin tent only.... Had a White Toyota van not a Landcruiser, but it was very comfortable and nice and would say for this tour totally unnecessary to pay more for a Landcruiser... Johnson was the best guide ever and could find animals from very far away and was super nice and friendly with perfect english so definitely ask for him if possible....

Outstanding organization with the perfect safari options
Wow. What a life-changing experience we had with Green Hippo Travels!
The fast response from Astrid, Heleen, and Karin was great. We decided last minute to make a booking, and they did an amazing job giving us the perfect offer.
We had a 6-day safari with the best driver, guide, and friend you can imagine: Clever.
Not only did he show us the Big Five and many other beautiful animals, but every single day he greeted us with his big smile, making sure we had the best day possible.
He is a very smart young man and knows so much about the areas we visited.
He wasnāt just the perfect guide for us as adults, but also for our young son, who was in tears when we had to leave.
Clever didnāt just teach us about the animals and nature, but also shared beautiful insights about life in Tanzania.
He even arranged an unforgettable proposal for us, since my future husband asked me to marry him.
It was truly a dream setting, all thanks to Clever.
Everything was just perfect, and we would 100% recommend Green Hippo Travels to everyone!

Our trip was an unforgettable experience.
My family of 11, 6 adults and 5 children ages 6 to 13, recently had an unforgettable experience with Kusini Safaris! We traveled to Tanzania to 3 different camps and one was luxurious and unique. The staffs at each camp were professional and catered to our every need.
Paul Tickner provided us with a perfect itinerary and guided us through an amazing experience. He catered to our every need and was especially wonderful answering all our childrenās questions!
I canāt imagine going to an African Safari without Paul Tickner! Everything was perfect and he is the BEST!

Seamless
We booked a private 3 day safari to Masai Mara. Everything went according to plan, we had an excellent driver and guide who kept us safe at all times. Saw loads of animals and managed to get very close to many of them. The stay at Mara Sarova game reserve was also fabulous, the sounds you hear at night was unreal.
Communication throughout the process was great, everything was well organised, can't fault it at all. Would highly recommend.

Safari tour
I had an amazing experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris! The staff were so kind and friendly, and our guide explained the animals really well, which made the safari even more interesting. Both the camp and the hotel were clean and comfortable. Everything was well organized and reliable, and I truly felt it was great value for money. It was such a memorable experienceāI highly recommend them!

A view I've never seen before
This tour allowed me to experience scenery I've never seen before. The driver was perfectly positioned to view the animals, and I was able to take lots of great photos. I hope many people experience this tour.

Friendly and experienced
The staff were very friendly as they picked us up and took us to the airport and we had a smooth flight to our destination at the Masai Mara. Our friendly guide picked us up at the airport and took us on our first safari right from the airport. He was experienced and extremely friendly. We saw lots of animals and he was able to find even several lions on that first day. The hotel iwas very nice and the food very good.
The rest of our trip was awesome. We saw new animals each day. We saw an exceptional amount of lions, including two full prides of seven or more lions each. It was wonderful to see the elephants and the toes and the zebras and the Cape buffalo. Our guide was constantly communicating with the other drivers and guides to find the best animal sightings and give us the best experience. We finished our trip by seeing the elusive leopard. Overall it was a fantastic three days.
