No issues. Image Travel provided what was agreed for the agreed price
Leading up to the Safari communication was good, emails were promptly and helpfully answered. I was picked up from my hotel on time, and there were no issues with the flight to the Masai Mara. There were no changes to the agreed price and no unexpected costs.
Mara Serena lodge is very luxurious. The staff were very welcoming, food was very good, room was comfortable, sauna and gym were good and there was a nice camp fire in the evening. The lodge is on a hill so there is a good view of the reserve and there is a large variety of birds and small animals like rock hyrax and mongooses around the compound.
However, I would not recommend the Mara Serena lodge as the game drives were too short. They were 2 hours in the morning, and 3 hours in the afternoon. I've been on one previous Safari and I had 4 hour drives in the morning and evening, which makes a massive difference to the amount of ground you cover and wildlife your able to see.
Although disappointed with the length of the game drives, this is not a reflection on Image Travel who delivered everything that was agreed, with no issues. Would recommend them.

Amazing Customized Safari in Meru NP, Kora NP, Samburu NR, Buffalo Springs and Lake Naivasha.
Our group of six just returned from an amazing 10 days trip in Kenya with Adventure 360. It was fully customized safari tailored according to our requests up to the smallest detail. I must have exchanged over a hundred emails with Charity and always have received a speedy and very informative replies.
We were picked up at Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, had two overnights in the capital with a full day tour of the city. Transfer to Meru National Park with three overnights there, followed by three overnights in Samburu National Reserve and overnight at Lake Naivasha. We had a guide who tried to satisfy all of our wishes or special requests and a brand new 4X4 safari Land Cruiser.
Every possible aspect of the safari and every small detail were carefully planned and executed. We received as a bonus visits to Kora National Park and Buffalo Springs National Reserve.
I am booking another safari with Adventure 360 in this coming January, this time to Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East national parks, followed by a trip to Lamu Island and Mombasa.
I would recommend the company to all perspective guests that wish to get a great safari at a very affordable price. I have been on numerous safaris in all 8 major safari countries in Africa and I do have a broad basis for comparison.
Thanks, Charity and see you in January!

A perfect experience for me and my family. This is an exceptional company to travel with!
We really had a perfect experience from beginning to end. Lion King was very helpful as we decided on the itinerary and timing. They selected great accommodations and the trip cost was quite reasonable, especially for a private safari. The airport transfers couldn't have been easier. Our vehicle was great, although we learned that EVERY operator uses the same type of vehicle (a modified Toyota LandCruiser). The most important aspect of the trip was the quality of the driver/guide. Ours was Oswald and he was exceptional - friendly, accommodating, and highly knowledgeable of the geography and animals. He was very skilled at spotting animals, we saw tons! Since we were traveling with a child, I particularly noticed that he was a very calm, patient and safe driver. From beginning to end Oswald was laser focused on giving us the best possible experience, he was a real pro. We chose Lion King because of their amazing reviews, and I am now very pleased to be writing one myself.

Benson Safaris makes it so easy from booking your safari up until the time you depart for home
Right from the time we first contacted Pendo at Benson everything was handeled in a prompt and professional manner. Pieta our tour guide was the best. We had many laughs and many animal sightings on our safari. He is very good at what he does and all the drivers work together to give their guests the best experience possible. You should be proud of the tours you give. The tent camps were very well managed and the service from everyone was ecceptional. The wild life is amazing and right at the side of the road. It felt like being in a Nat. Geo. program. The abudance of wild life is almost hard to comprehend but there they are. Had one of the best times of our lives thanks to every one at Benson.

Excellent support and service
We travelled to Botswana and Zimbabwe. Everything went perfectly. We felt very well advised beforehand on what to expect, always received prompt replies and felt in good hands. We started our tour in Victoria Falls and from being first met at the airport we had seamless transitions and transfers from camp to camp and bush airstrip until being finally met by a concierge at our end destination in Maun checking on our arrival and how things had been. The holiday of a lifetime! Amazing experience and highly recommended agency.

Perfect in every way.
Cuan McLaren answered our questions immediately, understood exactly what we wanted, and provided the perfect private safari two-week tour. We asked for small, non-luxurious camps what would bring us closer to an authentic safari experience. We got exactly that! The camps were impeccable with gracious hostesses/hosts and managers, knowledgable guides/game spotters, excellent meals, and wonderful dinner conversations with others in the camps.
Transitions from one camp/country to another by plane, boat, van were seamless! African Ubuntu Safaris is the best run company around.

Unforgettable Safari
Amazing experience.
When booking, Shaheen was very kind and professional in organising the tour according to our needs (arranging also the pickup from our hotel).
Arun, the guide, then made our safari unforgettable. He satisfied any curiosity about animals and wildlife in the park. His knowledge about bush’s life and animals is outstanding. Thanks to Arun, we spotted a number of animals, even the rare black rhino!!! The tour was absolutely exciting and at the same time relaxing.
Highly recommended!!
Thanks Arun and Shaheen!!!

Truly enchanting
We went on a camping safari to serengeti, ngorogoro and tarangire and were really happy with enchanting safari: the communication with the office as well as the overall organization were simply perfect even though we approached them on short notice.
We also had a very experienced and nice guide, who took care of us in every respect. Enchanting provided luxury tents, sleeping bags and mattrasses and the guide even got us torches when we arrived poorly equipped for the nights at the campsite. Altogether it was simply great!
