Valley Rocks Tours provides one of the best tour experiences in Kenya.
I went on the "Day Tour in Mount Kenya from Nairobi with lunch", and Kelvin was very knowledgeable and articulate about the tour and the communities living in the area. Kelvin was also reliable (he picked me up from my Airbnb and drove me back to it on time). He was also personable, and flexible as far as the speed of the hike was concerned to accommodate the less experienced hikers. Finally, what to expect from the tour was communicated in a timely manner shortly after I booked it and throughout the day.
Overall, this tour is a great value for money and I highly recommend it.

A company that CARESSSS!
Wow, I feel so blessed to find a company that is genuine, honest and cares about your experience! I’m a female solo traveller, so as you can imagine the fear of being scammed/ taken advantage of pops up straight away, this company has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND for me I’ve booked two excursions/ activities with them and both times have been blown away by the organisation, communication and drive for customer satisfaction.
The safari trip was honestly unforgettable, I planned it last minute for my birthday and everything was so effortless and seamless! From arranging the booking, to picking me up, arranging for my suitcase to be taken care of whilst I was camping and the after care had been carefully considered.
I have had such a comfortable, insaneee life experience thanks to Captain Barnaba Travel & Safari! A massive shout out to Ludo for ensuring this booking was stress free and amazing! Such a great team of people. You don’t need to think twice with this company - they will always give more than 100% to you and your experience 👌🏼

Mtina
Brilliant tour with Mtina as we saw all relevant animals. Mtina is really one with the animals, spots them even in hidden places and can anticipate their movements well, giving us the opportunity to be in the pole position for viewing (in busy viewing moments when other cars are around)

We had a blast in our 2 day Safari
Our two day safari with mountain warriors and John was amazing, we had so much fun and John was a great guide. The food was also amazing same as the hotel. Also the price was great and we saved a lot of money compared to the other safari offers we got. Would definitely book with them again!:)

Amazing safari experience at TOP level.
We went on a safari with Simian Safaris in March 2025, and everything was perfect! The trip was very well organized, and we had an unforgettable experience.
We chose the budget safari, but the accommodation was very nice, and the food was great. Communication via WhatsApp was excellent—every question we asked was answered very quickly. We paid 1/4 of the final amount of $ in advance and everything went smoothly, without any problems.
Our guide was amazing—he was very experienced, funny, and knew everything about the animals and nature. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five in the first two days! We also learned a lot about the wildlife. So try to ask for Martin, if he is available, he has to be your choice number 1!
We can only recommend Simian Safaris to everyone. If you are thinking about a safari, choose them!

Very impressed by the organisation and communication by Ozon.
The whole tour was amazing, virtually everything was perfect. The organisation of the tour from start to finish was first class. The hotels, lodges and transport were excellent. The views from our lodges were incredible. Food was amazing where ever we stayed. The staff at all the accommodations were so friendly. Our tour guide Innocent worked incredibly hard driving for hours every day, very knowledgeable and went all out to find the big 5 which he managed to do after several days of searching. We felt really safe with Innocent driving in some very precarious situations. So to sum up, our dream holiday was an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone thinking about booking with Ozon.

Useless
Left us at the airport arrivals late at night and refused to refund the taxi fee. They said the agency had not provided them with my contact details which is absurd. The agency confirmed and proved they were given my number but they"were in the wrong terminal" and had" no contact numbers" I would never recommend this company

Our safari exceeded expectations!
My friend and I from Alaska recently went on safari in Tanzania. Our private trip was organized by T-One Tours and Safaris. This company was recommended to me by a fellow Rotarian who lives in Arusha. She has known the tour director, Moses Leonard Limbu, since grade school. Moses was easy to work with from start to finish. Even with the 12-hour time difference, he was responsive and answered my email questions promptly and in detail. He tailored the itinerary to our preferences. (For instance, we chose to camp in tents rather than stay in lodges as a money saver.) Our trip exceeded our expectations.
We visited three national parks, a lake region and a conservation area with a personal driver/guide and a cook in a safari jeep. As retired educators, we were interested in seeing and learning as much as we could. Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, including the crafter floor, and Manyara National Park as well as Lake Natron were on our itinerary extending over 9 days, 8 nights with a departure and return to the town of Arusha, an hour drive from the Kilimanjaro International Airport.
Charles is an older gentleman with 25 years of guiding experience and excellent English. Some groups might prefer a younger, chattier guide, but we appreciated his quiet demeanor peppered with humor. His knowledge of flora and fauna was astounding. Charles amazed us with his driving skill over the rough and rutted park roads in our 4 x 4 jeep. He could keep us on the road while simultaneously spotting camouflaged animals from a great distance. Charles knew places to take us with which other guides are not as familiar. He also shared and received sightings info on his CB radio for harder to find animals.
Our chef, Gideon, was a younger, energetic and always positive person. He is a great cook and spoiled us with great meals three times a day allowing us to enjoy many tasty Tanzanian dishes. Gideon was also our informal Swahili instructor and taught us useful words.
We recommend this company without reservation.

A Thrilling one of a Safari time trip4-Day Gorilla and Chimp Safari
I recently set off on a 4-day gorilla and chimp safari that left me absolutely amazed! The adventure started bright and early, and I couldn't wait to dive into Western Uganda's wild heart.
On day one, I found myself trekking through lush jungle trails, guided by friendly experts. Watching chimpanzees swing and play in the canopy was simply magical. Their energy was infectious, and I felt a deep connection to our beautiful wildlife in kibale national park..wow plenty of them.
The next day, I headed deeper into the wilderness and came face-to-face with majestic gorillas in bwindi. Observing these gentle giants up close was awe-inspiring. Each moment was a new discovery, and I felt incredibly proud of our country's rich biodiversity which are actually in different families.
Every step of the trek was filled with breathtaking views and fascinating stories from our guides. I returned to Ggaba with cherished memories and a renewed passion for preserving our natural treasures.
If you're looking for an unforgettable wildlife adventure, I highly recommend this safari. It's an experience that will make you fall in love with Uganda all over again!
