Amazing experience
Trying to figure out what to do and where to go from halfway across the world was a daunting challenge and I am so grateful to Sheilagh at Jamela Afrcan Safaris for her help. She went above and beyond and made our stay at Nkhoro Bush Lodge one to last a lifetime...although I still hope to do it again! Won't plan another trip to South Africa without her help again though.

All we wanted and value for money
We contacted several operators and finally settled on Bimos travel, communication is quick and accurate.. 4 days Mara safari could not have been better. The service was excellent, driver knowledgable, vehicle always clean. Binoculars and guide book in the car. The camp selected -ilkelaini mara was in a perfect location. We definitely enjoyed our safari. We will recommend this team to everyone.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Carlsson Family
Coming from 2 amazing days in the Masai Mara we experienced Lake Nakuru as quite small. Flamingos were observed on a big distance......But much wildlife!

It was absolutely fantastic!
Me, my husband and 10 year old son are all deeply impressed and overwhelmed of our 4 days safari in the Masaii Mara. We experienced pure magic together with our fantastic guide Anthony/Beacon Safari. During game driving we actually nailed the Big 5 within one day! Amazing!
All the best to both Ashnil Mara Camp and Flamingo Hill Camp, Luxury tent accommodations is really nice. Food and service was super.

Production in a Safari
We arranged our trip with BackofAfrica Adventure, in general all of the agreements were accomplished and the attention of Allan was impecable. We learn not every people of Kenya are as honest as he was with us with their work.
We do not have anything more to say than it was an extreme and amazing experience to get to know all the landscapes, animals and people from the Masai tribe. We had every support from the company to make a photography and film production on the parks.

Excellent Safari!!
My wife and I have just returned from a well deserved honeymoon. We booked a Kenyan Safari with a beach extension to Zanzibar and we were very happy with the service that Australken offered us, the choice of hotels and the whole experience was amazing!!

Superb experience with Alliance!
We chose Alliance Destinations because James was the one who first answered us, very willing to accommodate the trip to our needs: concretely, start it in Nairobi and finish it in Mombasa (instead of going back to Nairobi) and quickly find an international flight that would allow us to get to Nairobi and return from Mombasa. In turn, that would allow to make beach on the coast on our own, which was the intention.
James was always attentive, quickly answering our e-mails. We were able to make the reservation without any inconvenience.
He and our guide and driver on the safari that would begin only two days later, Gerard, were waiting for us at the Nairobi airport. They took us to our hotel and there we closed not only the balance of our safari but we decided to contract with them one day in the Nairobi National Park, plus the visit to the elephant orphanage and the center of giraffes. It was an unforgettable day, already with Gerard, and we highly recommend this tour.
And what about the safari itself, everything was perfect and far beyond our expectations. We stayed 2 nights in Masai Mara, 1 night in Lake Nakuru and 2 nights in Amboseli. The Masai Mara camp is spectacular (Ashnil Camp); the other accommodations, not so much, but very well, especially comfortable, clean and with very good food.
Masai Mara is directly unmissable. Gerard was always willing, pending our tastes and interests. Anyone would say that it maintains the enthusiasm of a first day. He loves his country and his work, he knows a lot about animals and the places he visits. He is a very prudent driver (in fact, he was excellent in two dangerous situations created by other truck drivers).
We can not remember how many animals we saw: lions, lionesses, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes (many!), Ñuls, gazelles of various types, topis, zebras, elephants (thousands of elephants in Amboseli), buffaloes, ostriches, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, birds of all kinds ... Gerard was always attentive and did everything excellently well.
You can not miss the balloon flight ... a unique experience that is well worth the many dollars it costs. Excellent Casey, the pilot of Hot Air Safaris.
The stretches between parks are long and tiring, but very instructive. If you want to get to know Africa and its people, there is no better way than observing their villages, their inhabitants, their routes, the places where they live and how they live ... Spectacular.
Lake Nakuru is a bit decadent since the flood deprived them of their most important attraction, the flamingos. However, it was there that we saw more and better the zebras and where we could get off, well guarded by park rangers, and get closer to the zebras and the flamingos that remain in the lake. Beautiful.
Amboseli is a paradise for elephant lovers. There are thousands (literal). It is unmissable. Here James joined us on safari, with his good comments and good company.
At the end, two surprises bonus track: a visit to a Masai community, emotional and unforgettable, and another to the elephant with the biggest tusks ...
We have no words to thank the efficiency, work and love of Gerard and James. We strongly recommend Alliance Destinations.

Great people and great service
We took a 4 day safari tour visiting Masai Mara and lake Nakuru. It was a perfect tour, with an excellent guide (Edward). The booking and the communication went very smoothly.
