Three-Day Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Safari
We had an absolutely wonderful time on our safari!
Annette was very helpful from beginning to end, and was always very quick with her responses. She even came to meet us the first day, which was so thoughtful!
We did the three-day safari to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, with Antony as our guide. Antony was so informative! We loved hearing about Kenyan and Masai culture, and about all the animals we saw on our safari! Antony worked very hard for us to see The Big Five, which isn't always easy because of the elusive leopard! We got to see The Big Five in one day in the Masai Mara!
The Sarova lodges we stayed at were so incredible. Beautiful rooms and very kind staff. The buffets were so incredible! We ate very well the entire time!
I would highly recommend Boundless Africa Journeys, and would absolutely use them again on a return trip to beautiful Kenya!

We werw on the 7days Safari with Adventure my take and it was amazing experience!
I'm from Russia and I travelled on Africa with my boyfriend in January 2019.
We were in 4 location for Safari provided by "Adventure my take" : Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru lake and Naivasha lake.
Our guide and driver was Antony - very good, friendly man and great professional! He knows all about National parks of Kenia and about wild animals, birds and even plants =) It was perfect and very exciting travel.
We have seen Big five and many other animals )
About organizaion:
- communications and service - all employees and managers were attentive, they helped us and were ready to answer any questions and help during the safari, if there were any problems (there were no problems!);
- guide - accompanied us all seven days and it was very convenient for us, he helped us if we have question with accomodation or something else during the safari;
- car - we were taken by big car, quite comfortable. Besides the two of us in the group there were 4 more people and everyone could comfortably stay in the car;
- accomodation - we booked budget safari, but despite this all accomodation was good and comfortable. When we lived in camps there were good meals, clean tents and hot water in a shower. There weren't any wi-fi if you live in camps, but we knew this in advance and it was not a problem.
Sorry for my English =) and i hope my review will help somebody to take a right choise =))

Amazing safari holiday in Maasai Mara
We can highly recommend Magical retreats and adventures tours. They fulfilled everything they did promise to us. We had an amazing time in Maasai Mara.

Unforgettable Experience
We did a 2-day private tour to Masai Mara and it was an amazing experience! Our driver guide Simon took us to see many animals including lions and cheetahs which some people at the camp didn’t see on the same day they visited Masai Mara.
We spent the night at Lenchada Tourist Camp where we had halal dinner and breakfast as requested. I would recommend Axis Africa Safaris for your safari adventure in Kenya!

Incredible experience of wildlife, nature and culture
Our safari with ToKenya took us to Mt Kenya, Samburu and Laikipia. From arrival at the Airport to our very last day of the safari, we were well cared for. James who was our guide really did a good job. He is kind and knowledgeable. He knows a lot about the wildlife, so he made sure we saw everything including the big cats. James is an exceptional driver and travel companion. He truly made our safari extra special.

Another epic African adventure with Clyde and TMA!
This was our second tour with Clyde and TMA and we booked this one even before we had gone on our first one to Botswana. All our conversations with Clyde made us realize that we had found a kindred spirit - he understood exactly what we wanted and he was the one to go to for unique experiences in Africa.
When we called him up and asked him for suggestions for December which is off-season for most of Africa, he suggested Uganda. Not being a huge fan of primates Uganda had never been on my list but hubby was eager to see the great apes so I agreed. I was apprehensive till the last minute especially after talking to some friends who didn't have a very good experience in Uganda a few months before our tour.
But I needn't have worried. The tour organized by Clyde was once again top notch. He had picked some very cool destinations for us and in just 10 days we visited Kibale to trek for chimps, Bwindi to trek for gorillas, Queen Elizabeth NP for tree climbing lions and Entebbe for shoe-bill storks. His choice of accommodation was well thought out and his idea to do one way by road and the return by air was brilliant as we got to experience the local culture and the Ugandan people which made us fall in love with that country. When we had a small issue at one of the accommodations, Clyde was quick to get on the phone with the local tour operator and get it sorted ASAP.
Uganda was supposed to be a once in a lifetime destination for us as my first love is big cats. However, thanks to Clyde's impeccable trip planning we're now eager to go back and see the rest of the country.
We have no hesitation in recommending Clyde and TMA to anyone. In fact we've already planned our third tour with them and look forward to exploring Zimbabwe in September.

Personal challenge worth taking
As a group of four friends we decided to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro after new year celebration, so we spent some time researching for companies to use. After rigorous research we finally chose Fig Tree Tours and travel because of their pricing (mid-range), flexibility (we could start any day we wanted), very quick response on emails, and a lot of information on their website,REJEAEL was responding on time.
Since we were beginners they recommended Lemosho trail (8 days) and we were very happy with that choice, We found the scenery on our climb very beautiful, particularly the view of the snow peak looking closer everyday, there is an attractive wildlife you can spot on your way up.I had some normal altitude symptoms on day 2 but it went away after a few hours (after taking Diamox). The team of guides and porters were great, lovely and funny, the food made by ACTION was amazing.We truly couldn’t have done this trip without the fantastic team of guides and porters!!!
The summit day was very tough but thank God we made it to the top.
This will be a trip to remember, if you are looking to climb Kili go with Fig Tree Tours and travel, highly recommended.

Safari to Masai Mara
We used this company for our safari to Masai Mara in December. It was great that they organized everything, but it was expensive for 3 nights. Once we got to the hotel, we couldn’t figure out why it was so expensive because our camp wasn’t too great. The safari was amazing though, the guide and driver were amazing and made our trip, but they were more affiliated with the hotel rather than this company. We were told there would be WiFi, but there wasn’t. Only a few hours of electricity each day. Carol was great, and I asked her to reschedule my trip many times, but I think the company is charging too much. If you use credit card you also have to pay a large fee. We had a lot of fun though. You need to have a positive attitude though, like expect to get stuck in water. We stayed 3 nights at the same place which was great because we got to do more, and weren’t so exhausted moving around. We also flew on a small plane which was interesting but I’m happy we didn’t drive that far. We saw the buses that people who drove in had, they didn’t look as great as our land cruiser, more like a van.

Review about Phinda Game Reserve by Jayhawk80
A larger than average Game Reserve and a more "natural" safari experience than smaller game reserves or road side attractions.
