Nice safari in Amboselli and Tsavo East and West with ETA Adventure
ETA Adventure arranged the group tour for me in Amboselli and pirate tour for me in Tsavo East and West. The staff were always reachable and responsive and were happy to make last minute changes when required.
The accommodations and the food served there were good and the company staff and guides and drivers were helpful. There was an issue with late arrival of the tour car in Nairobi (partially due to traffic), however, the company took corrective steps to avoid any further delays for the rest of the trip.
The whole trip was good value for money.

Very helpful, honest and punctual.
We had a brilliant time. The accommodation was all good and our guide made every effort to make our time enjoyable.
Gorillas were amazing.

Two wildlife trips in Northern Madagascar
We arrived first for a day in Noisy Be and we're met at the dock straight off our cruise ship. The car was modern and in good condition and our driver was careful. Our guide Christian spoke good English and both Christian and our driver Jake new the wildlife and what we wanted to see. Arriving at our destination we walked through mangrove and across beach to Lokobe Reserve. All the way wildlife was picked out for us by our guides. We saw rare and endemic birds, Lemurs and several species of Chameleon and other reptiles. Great trip and delivered back to the port in time. Thanks.
The next trip was from Antiserenana to Amber Mountains NP. This matched up to the previous trip and this firm would be recomended.

They were always on time and tried to fulfill all pf our requests.
The communication with the two drivers was very good. The tour itself was not cheap but the price was lower than the competitors. Plus they made a very good choice of Hotels and Camps.

Amazing Experience at a great price
Benaiah and the agency were very helpful throughout our booking and during the safari. We really had a wonderful experience, for a much lower price than other agencies.
One thing to improve (but I think it's the same for all agencies as they are only intermediaries and we are mixed in the car) but the hotels are sometimes very far from each other, you can take up to 1-2h to drop everyone off each evening.
On the agency side, it would be really great to think about this point in more detail for group safaris.
On the client side, I really recommend a private tour if you can afford it.
As mentioned above, and as many agencies are only intermediaries, I strongly recommend Mercy Africa as you'll have the same experience as with other companies with almost 30% off.
Ps : our guide Mike was truly amazing!!

Good value private tour for a family of five
We went on a 4-Day Tarangire, south Serengeti & Ngorongoro safari. We saw the big five and more. The amount of elephants in Tarangire was truly amazing.
We loved it. Maybe we should have added a day, to be able to cover central Serengeti, if we were to do anything differently.

Value for money experience.
We had booked 7 days and 6 Night Masai Mara - Naivasha - Nakuru - Amboseli Safari. It was a standard package offered by Safari operators in Kenya in budget category. Communication with Benson was smooth, camps were basic and you get what you paid for. In our case, plan was changed a little bit, we were first taken to Naivasha and then to Masai Mara to suit economics of operator (since there were not enough people on first day for Masai Mara), this is something shouldn't have happened as we wanted to spend 31st evening watching sunset in lake Naivasha.
Camp/Stays Ratings:
Naivasha - 3/5 (Food was average for vegetarians)
Nakuru - 3.5/5 (Basic City Hotel with good food but no good wifi)
Masai Mara - 3.5/5 (Basic Facilities, good food)
Amboseli - 4/5 (Excellent and Spacious Camp).
We were 6 to 7 People in Mini Van ( Should have been strictly 6) and people would join and leave as per their itinerary. We were with guide Clinton and he did a good job.
I would recommend this agency, as our experience was good.

Moroko Expeditions is fantastic operator
I loved the 3 day Mountain Gorilla trip run by Moroko Expeditions.
Abraham was a kind, knowledgeable & flexible guide. The long drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park went quickly listening to stories & information shared by Abraham of Ugandas history, politics & culture.
The accomodation at Bakiga Lodge was in a stunning location & had wonderful staff.
I recommend this trip wholeheartedly.

It was a good and fantastic experience and my children loved it too, but we did one mistake and that's not staying longer. We will love to go with you guys again if we get the chance.
