Perfect experience in the wonderful Masai Mara with Edward, a very professional and friendly guide.
My girlfriend and I had an amazing time in a 4 days trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru national parks. Edward, our guide was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the wild life.

Unforgettable adventure
What a beautiful and most of all unforgettable safari tour! Because we were already in Tanzania, Rama picked us up in Marangu. Besides the safaris in Arusha NP, Lake Manyara, Seregenti NP, Ngorogoro and Tarangire NP there was also time to visit an old customer relationship in Mto wa mbu. During these 10 days we have enjoyed all the beauty that Tanzania has to offer. 5 days, 4 nights in the Serengeti was the icing on the cake. Absolutely recommended 2 nights in central bush camp and 2 nights in the migration camp. Overall we are satisfied with the accommodations including the meals as well as the knowledge and safe driving of Rama. It must also be said that Annika has helped us extremely well regarding to our wishes and needs. A big compliment for Tanzania Specialist!

The perfect guide for photography enthusiasts and people on budget.
oing on a safari trip in Botswana can be rather pricey especially when your travel dates were not flexible and you couldn't join a group tour. My friend and I were on a budget but thankfully we were redirected by other travel agency to extremely wild and I am grateful!
I am thankful that despite our budget Isa, our guide, did not short change us anything. He had a campsite helper/cook to follow us around on our 5days camping trip. Having zero experience in camping I am glad Isa had done so. Our cook, Nico, was amazing. I am amazed at how he managed to whip out some out of this world tasty food, you will forget you're camping.
As for our guide, Isa, I have nothing but high praises. He was extremely passionate about his work and always strife for customer satisfaction. I learned later that he is actually a guide instructor so for the money I am paying I got a tour guide instructor showing me around. If you are a photography enthusiast Isa knows how to get the best angle and lighting (something I took for granted at first until after I got another guide somewhere else and was frustrated for missing out on great shots because the guide didn't know when to stop moving the truck or how to position the truck). Isa was also really fun and easy to talk to which is very important because this is the person you're stuck with for the entire camping trip.
I had such an amazing and unforgettable trip thanks to Extremely Wild. I will definitely use them again when I go to Namibia in the future.

Always available for any need. Kenya Safari at Masai Mara and lakes Nakuru and Naivasha.
I was really impressed of the care received during all Week safari tour in Kenya. Felix the manager of the Tour Operator, was in contact with us, a group of 4, during the entire tour by asking if we needed anything and updating us about the schedule. We have been in Masai Mara for 3 nights Where we stayed at Mara Engai Lodge and Entim camp Lodge. Both breathtaking locations where we have had a memorable stay. After we headed to the lakes Nakuru and Naivasha where we have not been disappointed either from the Safari and from accomodation choice. The Cliff at Nakuru is just amazing with luxury tents overlooking the lake. The driver was really professional and was able to let us find all big five. The tour operator has an agreement with Qatar Airways staff for special rates and special care. For the 4 of us was considered one of best trip ever. Thank you Felix and all staff of Marhaba Holidays and my sincere compliments to your organization. Im sure I Will come back and inspire others to contact you for the best Safari Holiday. Ciao

Well-organized tour with high level of professionalism at an economical cost
We planned our Kenya trip at the last minute to see the Migration. Most of the tour operators declined quoting no availability. The ones who shared availability quoted exorbitant rates. Kiboko was the only one that stood out on both accounts. They have availability & were one of the lowest quotes we had received. Communications with Clare (the Kiboko representative) were mostly on email.
We never had any problem getting out point across to her. She was kind enough to adjust the itinerary based on our request & also give us the hotels we asked for. Once we reached, we never had to worry about our transfers, pickups etc. The driver/ guide was always arranged for us. All the hotels were excellent. Every small detail had been taken care of, e.g., picnic meal on the full day safari.
Clare was also available on Whats App & call whenever we needed her. The level of professionalism of Kiboko was high. I can safely say it exceeded our expectations. The safaris were well conducted. Our safari driver/ guide, Alfred, understood what we wanted to see & ensured we did not miss out on anything. He was quite knowledgeable & imparted a lot of information about animals, birds & Kenya to us.
All our other drivers - Wilfred, Abdul & Charles - were nice & polite too. The only one negative of our trip was when we left Nairobi to get to Masai Mara. In a bid to overtake a lorry, we almost had a head on collision with an oncoming vehicle. We feel this could have been avoided by our driver if he was not trying to overtake hastily. Nonetheless, after this episode, he drove more carefully.

Great!
What a fantastic trip to Namibia … what a country, what land, what a fabulous experience.
The tour was superb. The guide was a dream - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, a great ambassador for his country - a joy to be with. The places we stayed were great … some glamping, a hotel and an upgrade to a safari lodge (altho we would have prefered the tented camp as per the itinerary). The food was excellent, prepared by excellent cooks. The service was superb and the absolute pinnacle was finding hot water bottles in our beds in the bitterly cold desert nights. In Damarland, we tracked desert elephants and came across a herd of eleven; we tracked a rhino and baby for about 90 minutes - very exciting - but didn’t find them; we saw desert giraffes … again very exciting. And it was brilliant to be in remote, empty places with no phone connection, no internet and just be consumed by the land and the here and now. At the lodge when we were having an early breakfast, a male lion appeared at the waterhole … and when he’d finished we could hear him roaring in the bush.
I would book through Kingfisher Safaris again - Martin was always at the end of the email, always helpful and knoweldgeable. I would also go on a trip with Wilderness Safaris again - thorougly recommend Diverse Namibia tour.

Amazing safari
The safari was very well organized.
We did 7 days and 5 nights in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake manyara and Tarangire. Our driver was really good. He was with us all the time. Tents were good and the esperience in the no fenced Camp was Amazing, even if the Camp site toilet were not perfect. Also the Cook came with us for all the time to prepare amazing breakfast,dinner and lunchbox for the day. We had always enough water and Also wine during the dinner. Thanks for everything!

terrible experience, not professional, NOT recommended
Our experience with tinga tinga safari was horrible. They are subcontracting the clients to other companies so their cannot guarantee ANY itinerary, rendering them meaningless.
We had booked a safari to see the great migration and thus paid extra especially for it. We confirmed the day before with Akim, the person in charge, that we would be able to see it. He assured us we would. Well we didn't, not even close: After being bounced around in different cars, we ended up in a car doing a completely different itinerary than us. When these changes occured they assured us they would partially refund our money. After we got back they didn't refund us anything and Akim stopped answering our texts altogether.
They acted very unprofessionally toward us and lied to us from start to finish. I would not recommend them.
