5 stars because 6 are not possible :-)
Schade, dass es keine 6 Sterne gibt. Wir würden Sie vergeben. Best booking in our life!!! Individuell, freundlich, zuverlässig, professionell und mehr als herzlich. Über jeden Zweifel erhaben und mit Innocent dem besten Guide (sicherer umsichtiger Fahrer mit immer guter Laune und einem speziellen Gefühl für unsere Bedürfnisse) in Tanzania hatten wir ein Erlebnis das selbst uns als Vielreisende im positiven aus den Socken gehauen hat. James der Geschäftsführer spricht darüberhinaus noch perfekt deutsch, so dass eine Abstimmung immer problemlos möglich war. Wir empfehlen jedem mit diesem Unternehmen zu buchen.
It's a pity that there are no 6 stars. We would give them. Best booking in our life!!! Individual, friendly, reliable, professional and more than cordial. Beyond any doubt and with Innocent the best guide (safe careful driver with always good mood and a special feeling for our needs) in Tanzania we had an experience that even us as frequent travelers positively knocked our socks off. James the managing director speaks perfect German, so that a coordination was always possible without any problems. We recommend everyone to book with this company.

Fun, Comfortable and lovely drive from Benson and Alex.
It was a pleasant and enjoyable drive. Both easy-going and wanted to think along with me. Benson took also the patient to explain a lot about Kenya. It gaves me the opportunity to learn and bond in the same time. I felt comfortable and safe! Definately would recommend these guys/guides/transfers/friends!

This was the best vacation ever!
Our trip was in late September and early October. Our guide was Raymond, our car was a big comfortable Land Cruiser.
First we were in the Amboseli park. Fortunately, we were lucky with the weather and we saw elephants in the background of Kilimanjaro! Thanks to Raymond - we made great photos. After Amboseli we had a trip to Tanzania - and a few days later we returned to the Masai Mara Park. The number of animals was simply amazing. We filled two memory cards of 128 and 64 GB with photos, and even the phone's memory did not have free space. When we thought we had seen everything, Raymond showed us amazing new animals. Many thanks to him for his professionalism and his knowledge of animals. Marvelous!
This was the best vacation ever! Kenya is an incredibly interesting and welcoming country.

Amazing impressions!
We visited Amboseli and Masai Mara National Parks in Kenya.
Absolutely everything was great: weather, accommodations, food; the trips were very comfortable! We saw many different kinds of animals and birds in the parks.
Many thanks to our guide, Raymond! He was very professional. With his help, we managed to see all animals that we would like to look at. Moreover, we got a lot of information about animals and Kenya at all from him. Also, he helped us with many things such as documents for crossing the borders, hotel in Nairobi choosing.
We recommend Karibu Sarafis and Raymond!

Brilliant tour operator for an unforgettable trip to Kenya.
In 2015 bezocht ik Kenia voor het eerst. Toen, vrij spontaan, bedacht ik een safari te willen doen. Robert en Ester, van Fika safari, organizerde een te gekke week voor mij. Nu 6 jaar later, en vol zin om na de lockdown weer op reis te kunnen, bedachten wij wederom vrij spontaan een safari te willen doen. We hoefde niet lang na te denken waar deze reis naar toe zou gaan. Kenia! in ja, dan natuurlijk ook puts Fika. Het contact puts Esther en Robert was als vanouds. Gezellig, informatief, actueel en sprekend uit eigen ervaring.
We bespraken de opties en snel hadden ze door wat wij graag wilden en wat bij ons zou passen. Er lag een fantastisch plan klaar. De uitvoering daarvan was zowaar nog gaver! We hebben genoten van de prachtige parken met zijn adembenemende natuur en wilde dieren, de fantastische overnachtingsplekken en natuurlijke het heerlijke eten. Eleven driver Kevin was te leuk en leerde ons weer veel over het land en de dieren.
Alles was tot in de puntjes geregeld. Van opvang op de luchthaven, tot de prints van de vliegtickets.
We voelden ons daardoor heel veilig en konden zo dus optimaal ontspannen tijdens eleven reis.
We konden altijd terecht met vragen en kregen tips waar nodig, want reizen in corona-tijd blijft toch net een beetje anders. Het voelde heel erg fijn om iemand te hebben die zowel de Nederlandse als de Keniaanse manier van werken dan kent.
Wij zijn super blij met deze reis. Hebben van elke minuut genoten. Er is zo veel moois te zien en te beleven in Kenia. Lieve Robert, Ester en Kevin, Asante sana!

Dancing Zebra Safari Company: Simply The Best!
Words cannot describe the amazing 12 day Tanzanian Safari Jessica planned for us starting on 9/26/21. Our planning involved numerous phone calls, emails and zoom meetings. She guided us through the ever-changing COVID restrictions. Jessica took the time to get to know us, our interests and designed a unique Safari experience incorporating input from each of the four people in our group. Her recommendations were perfect!
Our adventure began with a flight into Kilimanjaro and a night’s stay at the lovely Hamerkop House where we were treated like royalty. Dinner and breakfast were amazing!
Early the next morning, we started our journey with Ian our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, engaging, fun loving and most importantly, loves his job! Within minutes of meeting Ian, we were at ease knowing we had the ideal guide.
After leaving Arusha we spent two days at Tarangire National Park at Nykani Camp. The accommodations at this camp and all those that followed had incredibly comfortable beds. The warm bucket showers felt relaxing after a long day of game drives. It was quite an experience leaving up the canvas of our tents to listen to the animals throughout the night.
We saw impalas, zebras, lion and at one point counted more than 50 elephants. An hour was spent watching elephants frolicking in the river. Our group was surprised at how close we could observe. We learned about termite mounds as we watched 4 cheetahs sitting on one. Most mornings we headed out at 6 AM when the animals were most active and had a bush breakfast.
Our next stop was Lemala Ngorongoro Camp. We took a short hike (accompanied by a ranger) and was surprised to find a sundowner with drinks and snacks set up by staff at the rim of the crater. Accommodation, food and hospitality continued to be first rate!
Our journey continued to Central Serengeti for three night and then on to Northern Serengeti These were also Lemala Properties with great food, friendly staff and great campfires at night.
The four of us took our first balloon ride in Central Serengeti and we were glad we did.
Travelers, we don’t know how Ian planned it, but each day eclipsed the previous day’s experience! We experienced big cat sightings each day, along with herds of elephants, wildebeests, baboons, hippos and crocodiles. Additionally, we were fortunate enough to witness three crossings of the Wildebeest Migration. This was clearly one of the highlights of our trip. Also, so much was learned about the people and beautiful country of Tanzania.
This trip was well worth the money that was spent! Our advise to you is to follow the guides lead, while you relax and observe.
In closing, we cannot say enough about this company. We experienced a perfectly designed Safari and are deeply grateful to Jessica and Ian for all their planning and hard work.

Fantastic Safari Experience!
I booked a solo trip to Masai mara for a 3 day safari with Safari update Travels. Silas was very very professional in the way he communicated and giving detailed information. He answered all the questions i asked being my first time on a safari I wanted to get every detail.
He booked for me Sopa lodge in Masai Mara. Very nice rooms and good i say. The staff their we so accommodating. We went for game drives for all the 3days and words can not express what an exciting experience it was.. from the Landscape, wildlife masai mara, our driver guide James. It such a magical experience. I enjoyed every moment of it. I can highly recommend safari update Travels going to a safari in Kenya. Keep up the good work!
