Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Isabela
Lake Nakuru is okay, but I would spend an extra day in Masai Mara instead.

This is the best tour company compared to the rest I have engaged before...
Xavier's communication prior and during the trip was dope...Transfers were well organized. He kept in touch with the hotel to ensure his guests were well attended to...
Excellent safari
Excellent safari, we saw so much with the help of our knowledgeable guide Mtinangi. We did the group safari, which was great both in getting to meet other people and having more eyes in the vehicle to spot animals. Would highly recommend.

Professional and flexible
In the jeep for our group of 7, we visited the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The scenery was magnificent, and in April we got blue skies as well as sweeping rains in the distance, lightening shows and rainbows.
Our guide Mtinangi is an experienced driver, getting us past flooded roads with a cheer and a smile. He did a great job at helping us spot the illustrious black rhino (we saw 5!).
Suricata Safaris are well organised and professional. They cater gluten free (bonus for coeliacs) and they pick you up/drop you off where needed on either side of the safari.

Serious company
I am very satisfied with my 4day3nights Budget safari to Maasai-Mara. Baboon delivered everything that was promised with fair quality and high professionalism. The driver guide Boniface that followed us and managed every moment of the tour was excellent. I got great value for my money indeed.

Great experience I would repeat it again
The staff is very welcoming, our tour guide made sure we had a great experience at all times. We saw a lot of wild animals (lions, lioness, buffalo, giraffe, ostrich, elephants, several types of antilopes, zebras, etc) although we were not in the high season. Definetly would recommend it.

Our guide Iddy Kimaro enriched our tour with his zoological knowled and wise, adapted organization.
We did one of the Samora safaris a few years ago, and since then I have been thinking about how to repeat such a wonderful trip. Samora Explorers offers a diverse program of tours, between which it is not so easy to choose - after the first experience you actually want to make them all! The offer ranges from the tourist reception of the natural beauties of the country and insights into the life and culture of the indigenous people, to animal observation for the zoologist (I am one), to the mountain tour to the highest mountain in Africa. All the stops are unique highlights that will not be forgotten. You can experience the Serengeti, where the first modern wildlife film was made that won an Oscar, the Ngorongoro Crater (which for once is not a volcanic crater), the monument at Olduvai Gorge where the oldest human was found, Manyara National Park where the pelicans sit on top of the trees, lakes full of hippos, wild big cats on the hunt and boulders on which they rest ... Sometimes you even still see a black rhino, which has become very rare, and you feel happy about it.
But it is not only what you get to see, you also experience the wonderful way of presentation and personal attention from the staff of Samora Explorers. In our case, it was our guide Iddy Kimaro who enriched our tour with his profound zoological knowledge, as well as with wise, adapted, prudent organization.

In our sentence u can say Best trip to jinja and sipi mostly coz we had fun
we were really lucky to have him as our guide (and friend)Solomon . Everytime we met, we laughed till our bellies hurt. He learned us so much on every aspect in Ugandan life: culture, nature, religion, the best foods etc. All our trips were Murchison, Queen Elizabeth, Lake Bunyonyi, Lake Mburo, kibale forest, bwindi Np, Sipi Falls and Jinja,… We saw the best views, stayed at the nicest places and had a good dose of adrenaline. We would really recommend the abseiling in Sipi and rafting in Jinja! He has a lot of experience as a guide which shows and knows how to add a personal touch to your trips.

Both Alex and Richard, our driver were there to great us on time at 7am as promised

Truly a Life Time Dream Comes True
Many words come to mind when describing the Kanyezi Safaris trip to Southern Africa - Amazing, Fantastic, Rewarding, Educational, Stunning, Luxurious, wonderfully planned and coordinated - just perfect. Our hosts, Michael and Chip took care of us from the minute we landed in Johannesburg until we departed 14 days later.
Our first destination for four overnights was Lanzerac Resort located not far from Cape Town. The accommodations were luxurious and wonderfully appointed. The food at the breakfast buffet, two onsite restaurants and the winery was excellent. The winery gives most enjoyable tastings and the prices are enticing for purchasing a case to ship home. From the resort we took scenic and well designed day trips to the Indian and Atlantic oceans, Simon’s town to see the hundreds of penguins, a tour of Cape Town where there are many attractions, a visit to Victoria Wharf, the Cheetah Outreach, shopping and dining in the lovely town of Stellenbosch and a wine tasting at Groene Rivier. This area of Africa is at the time of our trip in March lush and green at quite lovely.
Our second destination was Dulini Safari Lodge Resort near Krueger National Park in Sabi Sand Game Reserve. It’s not easy to get there as just two flights a day are offered. But it was more than worth the travel to get to this fantastic part of South Africa.
Dulini consists of three beautifully designed, modern and luxurious lodges. The theme is African Safari and every bit of it lived up to our expectations. The location of the lodge on the Sand River offers wonderful views of the bush area along with a variety of animal visitors that roam right on the grounds. The food was tantalizingly prepared and delicious. But the best part was yet to come.
The safari rides were utterly amazing. Twice a day we went out early in the morning and late afternoon for 3 hour all terrain vehicle rides to see dozens if not hundreds of wildlife during our five day stay. The guides and drivers are skilled in driving and locating all varieties of wildlife including: lions, elephants, cape buffalos, hippos, leopards, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, jackals, impalas, kudus. Bushbucks, wildebeests, hyena’s, dozens of birds and much, much more. We were able to get close up to really see these magnificent animals living naturally in the wild.
There is no way a review can really fully describe this amazing trip of a life time. All so perfectly planned, coordinated and executed. Kanyezi Safaris can custom plan a trip for you or offer you options on already planned trips such as ours. There were 22 in our group that joined together to experience and amazing trip in a lovely and remote part of the world. I highly recommend Michael and Chris to you to help you have an experience of a life time.
