Excellent Experience
Mr. Masinde organized the whole trip and answered all the questions we had before we embarked on the safari. Our driver/ tour guide, Mwanzia, was very knowledgeable about the animals we were to see and was punctual for all activities. He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the animals that were there and made sure that our safari was a delight. Our safari included some respite time in Mombasa to an awesome resort on the ocean. I would use this company again for a trip to Africa. Thank you Mr, Masinde and Mwanzia!

Savannah organisation was perfect, the safari itself an amazing experience.
I went for a 6 days safari with my boyfriend at the end of august visiting the Tarangire, Serengeti (including the north for the great migration) and Ngorongoro National Parks. Everything went out perfectly. The communication with Roberto and Floriana from Savannah Explorers was smooth since the very beginning. Roberto answered all my questions (and I can tell you, they were a lot!) always fast and in detail, and made all changes I have required to the program. I have felt in good hands and this is why I have decided to book the safari with Savannah.
We required an English speaking guide and we got a very good one: Modi. It was a pleasure spending 6 days with him. He his a very nice person and a very good guide, and made everything to let us fully enjoy the experience, trying to go to the best spots to see the animals and staying out until dark in order to see as much as possible. and we saw a lot indeed! It was an amazing experience, and I would recommend everybody to book a safari with Savannah Explorers.

Awsome trip with the best compagny !!!
We were a group of four people, we had opted for the formula 3 days 2 nights in camp which is enough to fully enjoy the experience.
The camp was comfortable : tween size bed, shower and hot water ...
The experience was unforgettable, the first day we went on a boat safari to see hypopotamuses, crocodiles and different types of birds.
We spent the second day at the Selous game reserve where we had the opportunity to see several animals giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants and so on, with a very friendly, motivated driver who made us discover the reserve. The experience ended with a very informative walking safari.
The staff was extremely friendly, always attentive, the cook concocted us succulent dishes !
Thank u Selous Explorer (Asna, Nestor & Rashidi) !!

Flawless Safari Experience from an Exceptional Safari Company
Throughout the booking process and up to our departure, Ute of Roho Ya Chui provided expert guidance and put together an itinerary that worked perfectly for our group. We initially spoke over the phone then subsequently completed the transaction via email. Communication was timely, clear and precise. Our 14-day Safari adventure was a dream from beginning to end. We didn’t have to worry about anything. For example, we learned flight departure times often change at the last minute with these short flights and our handlers were well aware of every change. In fact, we stopped paying attention to departure details as we knew someone would make sure we got to our next destination on time. We simply were able to enjoy the Safari experience without having to worry about details. Our handlers worried about details for us. Additionally, everything from lodges to inclusions were as advertised. I highly recommended using Roho Ya Chui to handle your Safari.

Good staff, wonderful guides !
The staff answered very quickly when I sent messages. I participated in Mt.Meru tour and 2days safari. The guides, porters and drivers were very nice. I could enjoy and learnt something from them.
They arranged everything for us. They also helped me to buy a SIM card.
We enjoyed our holiday with footslopes.

Amazing
The safari was amazing, Deco was our driver/guide and we can't thank him enough the experience he provided us. He's so passionate about his work that he's always making sure you're enjoying the safari and see and know everything that you want to. There were somethings he didn't know but even then he would search an answer. You won't bem disappointed!!

Another great trip with Patrick, Owner and Operator of PD Tours & Safaris
Finally got around to writing a review of my 2 night, 3 day safari at Tsavo East with Patrick. If you want a calm, safe, friendly, happy driver, then Patrick is your man. I first met him in 2016 through another tour company and enjoyed it so much I booked direct with him this time round.
Nothing was too much trouble, the price was what he said it would be (plus a card handling charge) and gave me copies of all his licences and insurance certificates when I asked. I stayed at Ashnil Aruba Lodge both nights having stayed there last year (and Voi Safari Lodge on my first trip, Ashnil by far is the best)
I had a great time and saw an amazing 26 lionesses & lions and 549 elephants (didn't beat my total of 926 from last year) and a couple of cheetah, plus all the normal game.
One thing I will say of Patrick is he follows the rules. In Tsavo you are not allowed to drive off road and if caught the drivers loose their licence and livelihood, this didn't stop many drivers and I was amazed at how many went 'off road' looking for lions and also didn't respect the rules and went too close off road for a photo, scaring the animals off and thus the enjoyment of others. I experienced this last year and understand that some unscrupulous drivers will do this for money (I'm not encouraging you to do this in any way, shape or form - quite the opposite)
If you are someone who understands that we are in their home, respect them and be in awe of the nature around you, to take time to watch and observe and most of all savour every moment, then Patrick is the guide for you.
Don't get me wrong if you want him to rush around just looking for lions, then he will accommodate you but he and you will get the greatest pleasure in enjoying the african wildlife around you.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and would use him again in an instant. Oh, and his van is in much better condition than a number of others I saw in use.

Amazing experience with the most knowledgeable people!
My wife and I booked a week and a half excursion all over Kenya with Australken. It took a little back and forth to really customize our trip, but Zippy was able to adjust everything to exactly how we wanted, despite us asking for quite a bit, and at a very reasonable price too! Leading up to departure, Zippy was very helpful. She guided us on what we should do in preparation, what others have done, and threw in tips here and there on what stuff to bring. Once we actually landed, the experience was smooth, it was clear that this wasn't some janky operation. Everyone at Australken knew what they were doing, and had been doing it a long time. We visited several places all over Kenya, the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and more. Our primary driver, Simon, had such vast knowledge about all of the animals, and he knew how to drive our private Land Rover very well. We got up very close to Lions, others couldn't reach the area we were in due to their vehicle. Aside from multiple lions, we saw plenty of rhinos, giraffes, water buffalo, wildebeasts, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, elephants, baboons, crocodiles, impalas, warthogs, jackals, waterbucks, and more. For me and my wife who love animals, this was 10/10. We ended our stay in Kenya with a beach hangout at Diani Beach. Diani Beach has a lot to offer to couples and just people in general, it has a really nice view, and going into town from there, there are a lot of small shops you can get things for cheap. $0.20 to a tuk-tuk will get you a decent distance. We also spent some time in Mombasa before our flight, which was a very very cool place, culturally. Fort Jesus was one of the most interesting pieces of history in Old Town. I recommend you visit.
Overall, Australken was professional, gave us room to customize whatever we wished, and was the right price for me and my wife to experience the greatness that Kenya has to offer. I would recommend them to anyone!

Great Safaris experience with Jocky tour
I joined the Masai mara 3 days tour. Our driver was very experienced. On the safaris tour, he was very quick to move to the good location where we could easily take photos of wild animals including elephants, lions, giraffes, and cheaters. Also he was very helpful and friendly to us during our entire tour.
I stayed at a tent, which was clean and comfortable enough. Meals were good enough so I think the price of the tour was pretty reasonable. Overall I can strongly recommend Jocky tour based on my experience.
