The best I ever did!
Nice co-travelers, a thoughtful and knowledgeable driver and unbelieveable game drives. Sometimes the Serengeti was too crowded, but we were part of the problem. Next time I would chose other parks with less traffic, but I understand why the area is so popular. N'gorogoro was my favorite! Thanks for the good service and I'll gladly come back!

Gems of the river and land
The experience was fantastic, we had a great guide. Everything went smoothly, including the frontiers. The river cruise is incredible, and well worth it. The land game drive not so much, we saw only impalas and elephants. But out guide was fantastic and tried to go as close as safety allowed and we were able to be very near the elephants.
The lunch was a buffet at a fantastic hotel, the food was delicious. The only thing is that we didn't have enough time to eat calmly, because time was short...
I totally recommend, although the price is very inflated (all Victoria Falls trips and area are, so, there's no other option)

Overall Amazing Trip!
Our safari with John of Allure African Safaris was amazing! John is very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and their behaviors as well as Serengeti National Park where we visited. He is friendly and warm and also professional, and speaks great English! Allure African Safaris was such an amazing company to travel with because all reservations were taken care of, exceeded expectations, and were affordable. What a trip! Thanks to John, we saw all of the "big five" animals, and had some truly breathtaking encounters, like when John took us to see a sleeping family of lions that was tucked away in the grass; he goes above and beyond to make sure his customers have a once-in-a-lifetime safari. Thank you Allure African Safaris!

Wow! John is the Serengeti Animal Whisperer!
Our safari was excellent with Exaudi "John". We traveled to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater and saw so many animals up close and active! John seemed to know just where to go and his insights into the animal behavior allowed us to watch several lions stalk zebras, a leopard and her cub climbing down the tree, cheetahs and her cubs rolling around and giraffes gracefully walking across the savannah. His knowledge of the animals and birds of Tanzania was expansive and we all learned so much from him. He arranged wonderful accommodations at the Domel Camp. I appreciated the fact that John tailored the safari to our interests. I highly recommend!

Overpriced for poor value
Don't trust a word they're saying! Better yet, don't book with this deceiving company! They sold us an overpriced three day safari, told us we paid for food although we said we'd bring our own for less money and still we didn't get any food (which we unwillingly still payed for), payed more than any of the other tourists who went with us and felt utterly betrayed. Communication after the transaction was shit and we immediately felt the deceiving and untrustworthy atmosphere.
The safari itself was fine and the guide nice enough, but he barely told us anything about the park or the animals.
We had another safari with another company in a different park for way less money that was so much better it's unbelievable.
So yeah, don't book with them. (They also knew we were unhappy so they didn't even sent us a link to review them like they do with their satisfied customers.... strange right?)

Great experience and servica. Highly recommended
Thank you Thale for the great experience. Everything from the beginning till the end was perfectly planned. We didn't have to worry about anything. The transport from and to Jo'burg, the lodge we slept in (amazing), the driver (the little 5 safari) and the extra activities. I will definitely recommend you to others!

A wonderful and safe experience!
I had a wonderful experience with Tanzania Horizon Safaris on a climb of Kili using the Lemosho Route followed by an incredible experience in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater! My guide Jonas was amazing! He was knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy, expertly guiding me up the mountain and making sure I was feeling well and hydrated all the way up! The food was very good on both the climb and the safari and everything was organized well. Thank you so much Tanzania Horizon Safaris!

Good service, we are really satified
I went several times in Africa when I was young and in Kenya it was my 4th time, usully I travelled with tent and my sleeping bag but this time I went with my kids (and I am a little bit older!) and I decided to have a more comfortable trip. So I asked several Agents, also the ones I've tried in the past and, after long thinkings, I decided to try KWSS. Mr Otieno was very patient in replying to all my questions and to send me several different options in order to "built" the final package. At the end we decided: 1 night in NBO Airport + 2 in Amboseli + 1 in Nakuru + 3 in Masai Mara. In order to keep the rate very cheap, Otieno suggested me some very basic accommodations, but, after having read the reviews on different websites, I decided to change 2 of them. He was always so quick in replying on all my requests and efficient on everything. After the trip I would have changed also the Mara accommodation but, at the end, it went. Regarding the driver, I had some unlucky experiences in the past with unprofessional drivers, lazy, not interested either in the customer nor in the animals and this conditionate a lot the quality of your trip, so I was worried about this possibility!. Instead we had John, very funny guy, good driver in the traffic, always on time, so patient with the kids and, although he does not have a huge knowledge of the animals from a zoological point of view, he really does all his best to look for all of them, he is always on the right place at the right moment, he really does all his best to put the van in a perfect position for great pictures and to let you see the animals at the best possible. He also let you take all the time you need to admire them. Really I would recommend this Agency.

Okoa is reliable touroperator.
Second time safari to Masai Mara game reserve. Communication went smoothly. Me and my daughter did a joining safari. What I like about Okoa is that they are doing everything to comfort you. I chose for Okoa because for me it's important that what I paid for safari, goes directly into Kenian economy for a fair price.
Rates are lower then traveling with the bigger companies, but service is better. So I hope more people choose Okoa for an outstanding experience.

safari and beach tour
Me and my husband made a private safari tour and beach leisure with Spot Kenya Safari in June 2019.
Maurice was so kind to answer all our questions during the preparation of the offer and the proposal and in the end he offered us exactly what we wanted: a tailor made tour.
We did three parks (Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East) in a private bus, with the nice driver William. He knew where to go and always ready to stop when he spotted an animal or if we wanted to take some more pictures.
The accomodations choose by Maurice where perfect, except for the one in Amboseli, they were in the middle of the parks, with some beautiful scenaries and always close to animals.
For the days at the beach Maurice booked a perfect resort in Diani Beach, as we asked.
I can only reccomend Spot Kenya Safari for a tour in Kenya.
