Great private 4-day Safari in Masai Mara
Our private 4-day Safari in Masai Mara was just great. Already the booking at Hyrax Safaris was a relaxed affair, when Roselyne was always very quick to answer to our requests without being pushy. Requesting a Land Cruiser for the two of us and changing the program to staying at Ashnil Camp was easy. She also booked train tickets for our onward journey to Mombasa. Our driver guide Ben did a wonderful job in showing us the abundance of wildlife in Masai Mara. He was informative without overwhelming us with too much information. Deciding to stay at Ashnil Camp was a great choice as it is right on the Mara River full of hyppos.

Dedicated agents , found us a best possible offer for our needs and budget
Communication with Wayne from Kruger Safari Co was smooth and efficient. Even though we contacted them only few days before our planned safari date he managed to find us a best fitting package that matched all our needs. We stayed at Pretoriuskop camp and loved every second of it!
I’d recommend Kruger Safari co and Wayne - do not miss your chance to see the wilderness of Kruger!

Excellent and wonderful experience with Bison Safaris
It was absolutely amazing experience at Masaimara, Nakuru and the boating at Naivasha.
Maggie organised the safari and she is very much helpful like prompt answering to the questions raised through email, organising any thing and everything in a quick time when we ask her while on the safari. Every one including the 7 year old kid of mine are very happy with the prompt efforts by her ,which makes us feel at home during the whole Kenyan stay. Our guide also is very good in explaining about everything and he made us to see all the animals out there in MasaiMara.
I hugely recommend Maggie and Bison safari for the MasaiMara itinerary as she is having all budget types of plans with her, very helpful, will arrange everything in a short notice.
Once again thank you Maggie and bison safaris

Thank you for everything !!
We booked the tour some weeks in advance and, as i did not want to pay cash upon arrival, we sent a transfer of full payment 3 weeks before.
Everything was perfect :
Eddy arrived well in the place where we were, all the lodges were wonderful (we booked middle range) and Eddy is the best guide I ever had. Full of wisdom, very pleasant to exchange with and soooo nice !!
Before booking the tour, Jolie was available and gave some tips for places to visit that will better fit our timing and budget while other tours i questioned only gave me what i asked. Very much appreciated from Achieve Global.
I recommend !

Perfectly organised
Firstly we can highly anf wholeheartedly recommend suricata safari! Communication with hilary was great from day one and our guide and driver Dixon did a great job of showing us around the different parks and sharing his knowledge about the animals. There was a vegetarian option at every meal. All in all we felt really well taken care of and would book a tour with suricata again. Thank you again für this awesome experience a&m

The best trip ever
Mr. Gilbert is the best!!! Because, he showed us big cheetahs, leopards almost all the animals in Tanzania. He had very good eyes. He spotted every animal and knew all different varieties of animals. Mr. Gilbert was very kind and even when I annoyed him, he said nothing lol

A wonder of nature
South Africa is really worth visiting. incredible nature, fauna, gastronomy and I highlight, the sympathy of the people. really wonderful.
In terms of safety in Cape Town and Johannesburg, it is better to avoid night walks. I am waiting the next chance to vome back.

A beautiful East African country with a cultural and people to match!
My adventures and experiences at African Safari Selous Camp & Bushman Walk... along with the unique opportunity to spend time with a Massai community for two days and nights rates among the "TOP" of a lifetime!!!

Incredible wildlife
Little bit expensive but every penny worth in wild life safaris. The facilities at safari Lodges are excellent.

Place of numerous natural beauties - but lacks infrastructure
We hired a Safari company that helped us a lot, even before the trip (choosing the best airport, and the best flight time).
The Safari itself was wonderful. The guide was super knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. He welcomed us at every step.
We also went with an excellent cook- we ate very well at every meal!
We camped at the public camp. The structure was very good, and we could see some animals very close!- the camp doesn't have fences, so the animals roam around there.
Our tour offered a day visit to the waterfall and hot springs. That day was not very good. The waterfall is beautiful, but it's inside a coffee farm, where you participate in the coffee-making process, with lots of partying and singing - which you don't have the option of not participating. The visit to the waterfall itself was super short, you can't swim or even stay for a long time, as there are many tourists in addition to the residents of the farm. Then we travel for hours to get to the hot springs. Well...the place is crowded (we went on a Sunday), as it is the leisure space of the locals. Several people with floats and loud music, in addition to the barbecue. We, like other tourists, didn't feel comfortable staying there, it felt like we were invading something and being in such crowded places bothers us a lot. We left very quickly.
We were 6 people, and none of them recommends this last day tour as a whole.
In general, be prepared for latrines, lack of hot showers and toilet paper, and long hours of driving on very bad roads - in addition to a lot of bureaucracy and delay in airports and cheaper hotels.
Still, it's worth it to be so close to the animals and see them peacefully in their natural habitat.
