Spectacular Tanzanian Safari Experience: Wildlife, Food, and Exceptional Guiding
I had an incredible experience on my safari tour in Tanzania! Not only did I see a ton of animals, but I was able to check off all of the BIG5 from my list. Seeing lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, and more up close was truly awe-inspiring.
But the amazing wildlife sightings weren't the only highlight of the trip. The food was also delicious, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. Even though my group wasn't the strongest in English, he went out of his way to make sure we understood everything and had an amazing time.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and I'm already dreaming of going back for another safari adventure.

Trustworthy, good educated, knowledgeable and Serviceminded operators and staff.
My trip to Kenya was an interesting journey. I had bought a trip with a travel group consisting of 20 other people. We flew from Norway in the afternoon around the border of Ukraine, over Baghdad and the Persian Gulf to Doha in Quatar, from where a new plane took us to Nairobi where we landed early in the morning. The first day was spent relaxing at the hotel and a trip around Nairobi to a Giraffe park and the Karen Blixen estate. Dinner at the Carnivore restaurant. The following two days we drove to Naivasha and Nakuru with birds and animals. Then to Masai Mara where we stayed in a luxurious tent camp operated by the Masaii and we saw lots of animals. Then we travelled back to Nairobi and flew to Zanzibar where we stayed in a luxurious beach hotel. Had a day trip to the center of the island where we visited the Slave-market, the Spice market and the old town with the fort. Crowded and People everywhere. From Zanzibar we flew back to Oslo via Doha. I regret that I did not stay any longer. So many other places to visit.
The tour operators in Kenya did a good job to transport us around, they were service-minded and did their utmost to show us around and to keep the schedule on roads of different standards.
My main impressions after seeing my beloved Kenya again after 40 years were the following:
- lots of People everywhere. The population had tripled on 40 years, from 16 million in 1980 to almost 50 millions today. They get a double whammy: With 3,5 % birthrate increase every year and lots of refugees from the neighboring war-torn countries.
- Almost all houses/huts had tin roofs now. 40 years ago I estimate 2/3 had thatched straw roofs. I recon that is a very good development for the public health?
- There have been some big electrical projects. Power is derived from hot springs in the Rift Valley. There was very little - almost nothing - charcoal burning now. That was very common for cooking 40 years ago. Also less smoke is positive for the public health.
- the roads were improved and better now. New roads with more asphalt. But also lacking maintenance on dirt roads.
- thank you to the old English colonial masters who set aside vast marginal land areas for national parks. Without the dispositions they did 1945-1963 I do not think we would have the parks we can enjoy today.
- I did not study the sanitary situation closely, but at the luxurious hotels where we stayed, we had hot and cold water in the shower and there were cold Tuskers (beer) in the bar. I am sure that if I had gone into a study of the local sanitation Companies, I would have found many faults. So I did not drink tap water.
- Another interesting feature was the new high speed Chinese Standard Gauge Railroad. I never saw any trains running on it. It is a lot of controversy around the Chinese investments and the payback of loans. Presently the SGR-line ends in Naivasha where containers can be transferred to the old “lunatic line” narrow gauge railway that still operates from Nairobi to Kampala.

Great, unique and tailored experience - 100% recommendation
We booked a 5 day private safari visiting Tsavo east, west, amboseli and taita hills. The trip was the highlight of our stay in Kenya. While we followed the perfect organized schedule we were able to visit the most outstanding places in the national parks, seeing the most important parts of wildlife and nature which was an once in a lifetime experience. One thing that also made our trip special was our driver with whom we had a lot of fun, pleasant conversations and who always did everything to make the best out of the trip for us! The places for overnight stay that were booked for us were of highest quality, directly in the parks with animals in the camp. In the end the trip could not have been better and we would recommend it to everyone looking for a great safari trip!
Thank you again for everything!

Smooth, easy, informative and once in a lifetime
Explorer Kenya was a very smooth experience of a Safari. Booking from the UK - all communication via whatsapp was prompt and easy. Payment was smooth and the tour driver was punctual and informative. Solomon was our driver and he was so experienced and listened to all of our naive questions and requests - we were able to see 3 of the big 5 in a down time so we were very grateful! Don't hesitate - just do it - it's worth the money. We also stayed at Mara Simba Lodge - really authentic feel of staying in the safari but still very clean and nice (bonus having dinner and breakfast with a view of crocodiles and hippos)!
