The Masai Mara is a stunning safari destination in Kenya
My wife and I arrived in Nairobi in Kenya and wanted to experience a honeymoon safari. We were told to book the Top Cream tour and safari of Masai Mara. We met Erastus who was the personal contact, dealing with our itinerary and who was excellent throughout the entire booking. We really liked that he answered all our questions and concerns in a respectful and courteous way. He introduced us to Geoffrey a local English-speaking guide who took us on a multi day driving tour through the National reserve. He showed us some of the most famous landscapes and took us to must-see spots such as the Mara and Talek rivers and much more! We were blown away by Geoffrey and his knowledge and passion about Masai Mara and it’s history. He’s amazing and we learned way more about it’s wildlife than we expected which was fun! We are so happy that we chose Top Cream tours and safaris, and we cannot wait to return to East Africa in the not too distant future. Thank you!

Wonderful experience (golden monkeys and gorilla trekking)
We did a 2 day tour (golden monkeys and gorilla trekking) and had a wonderful experience with Kaara Adventures, especially with our tour guide Gerald. Gerald went above and beyond, and the entire trip went smoothly. Highly recommend Kaara Adventures!

AMAZING experience with knowledgeable & enthusiastic guide. The whole process was smooth and easy!
We booked the 5 Day Best of Kruger trip and had an AMAZING time. From the booking process to the experience, everything was smooth, communicative, and very professional. Everything was organised on our behalf, so we just had to show up and have fun! Shout out to Nicky, our guide, who gave 110% and provided such and awesome and memorable experience for us. We saw so, so many animals (all the Big 5 and many more!) and had many incredible encounters. Nicky was so knowledgeable and passionate - even for the "small" things - her enthusiasm was infectious and our group had such a blast! If I ever have the opportunity to safari again in Kruger, I would 100% book again with Wild Wings. If I could give more stars, I would!

Highlight of our trip to East Africa
My partner and I flew down from Addis for a four day, three night tour of Bale Mountains National Park with Armaye in November 2022. It was truly beautiful - a highlight of our trip to East Africa - and I’d highly recommend it.
The park is gorgeous and we saw several ecosystems and many different types of animals - so many birds, different monkeys, antelopes, warthogs, a mountain civet, many wolves, etc.
We went around the park by car rather than trekking/camping, and this worked very well for us. We still had lots of time during the day to do different walks, and ended up seeing more of the park than would have been possible just on foot. We did walks and drives near Dinsho, on the Sanetti Plateau, and in and around Rira / the Harenna forest (including one night at the beautiful Harenna Cultural Lodge).
Armaye and Mohammed, the driver he was working with, were both very kind and great company. Armaye knows a lot about the wildlife in the park and just generally is an easy-going person so it was a pleasure to spend a few days in his company. Everyone else we met (at the hotel, in Rira, etc.) was also very nice. In addition to the amazing wildlife, it was interesting to see a little bit of how people live there - for example horses are an important mode of transportation and families in the Harenna forest have many beehives high up in trees that they harvest once a year.
Some notes: it was chilly at times, but we were fine with some layers - I wore a thermal wool layer, a fleece, and a rain jacket and was fine in November. I also wore regular sneakers - some waterproof shoes would have definitely been better but I survived and was able to dry them by the fire at night.

The best experience I ever had!
We never thought to find such an amazing country and wonderful people. We have been driving around the country and everywhere it was different landscape and things to discover. Either Etosha, the desert or the coast, everywhere is unique and beautiful. The experience of being watching the wild animals in their own environment is unforgettable. We definitely will come back and stay longer!

My new most favourite place in the world!
We went to Botswana with no expectations whatsoever, only knowing that the safari at Chobe could be a good experience. It turned out to be one of the most amazing trips we have ever done. The park, the nature, the animals - everything was juts spectacular. We camp in Chobe for 3 days and LT (our guide) was so knowledgeable of the park that it made the visit so much better. The hospitality was great and we are definitely looking forward visiting Botswana again!!

Very well organized tour at a affordable price
Bearing in mind, this is a budget tour, the experience was fantastic. The quality of accommodation exceeded expectations, particularly in Zimbabwe, and the organization was terrific. Despite it being relatively cheap, we saw exactly what you would if you were on an expensive safari as we’re in the game parks next to the more opulent tours. Overall an excellent experience. The tour guides were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, Regards, Steve Ramsay, and Karen Honner

Terrible, don't book with this company
When we asked a quote we received different photos than where he accommodated us. When we arrived we were in shock for the location, we asked to be moved immediately and Mr. Mika told us to pay for the upgrade. For 2 days in Lenchada Camp we had the electricity just for 3h per day, was from 7pm to 10 pm, in the tend wasn’t plate for recharge the cell phone. We booked for 2 persons for 1.700 dollars for 5 days, full board, includes Breakfast/ Lunch/Dinner/Drinking water. Driver/Camp/Hotel/Safari/National Park.
We had to recharge in the fake restaurant (was a small a dirty tend, and the food was terrible, the chef wearing very dirty). No electricity, no water to drink in the camp. We never meet Mr. Mika, he staid away from us.
In the our tour for 5 day were with us others 5 persons. One paid 550 dollars for Lenchada Camp where Mr Mika accomodated us, and the others 4 paid 600 dollars each for a good location in Enrock Camp.
Thanks to the driver for our safari Mr. Andrew from other company we recovered the shock of the terrible first 2 days in Lenchada Camp.
We give the good reviews for the driver Mr. Andrew, and bad reviews for Akoa Africa Tour and Mr. Mika from this company.
