Henry is very intuitive about clients needs!
I had no idea what to ask for since I had never been to Kenya. Henry went out of his way to pick us up in a different city. I kept changing our travel dates and Henry was very patient and accommodating to find us places to stay. Once we arrived and Henry got to know us, he had great recommendations for improving our adventure. His response and communication was excellent to all my e-mails. Once we were at our safari destination he went well above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. As well at all the hotels. His knowledge of the animals and area is incredible. We were able to see animal encounters that I never thought I would see. So happy we chose Henry at Dume Africa Trails. We will definitely contact him for our next Kenya adventure!!

Tour was perfectly planned and tailored to individual needs! Thumbs Up!!
The tour was excellently planned by Augustine of Camptrek Safaris, who also joined during part of the trip with great insights and guidance! The itinerary included Amboseli, Samburu and Masai Mara in that order, which was a perfect setup to experience the fantastic landscapes and wildlife of Kenya!! Game drives were orchestrated nicely and transfer between parks worked seamlessly!

Professional
We had an excellent safari in the Mara with Alex as our driver. He is very professional and enabled us to see the Big Five, among other things. He gave us plenty of time to take magnificent photos. I highly recommend him!

ETA safari: A Decent Kenya Experience Worth Booking, but Shop Around Independently for Tanzania
ETA Adventure Safari – 10-Day Kenya & Tanzania Safari with budget accommodations
(Masai Mara · Amboseli · Serengeti · Ngorongoro | June 2026)
________________________________________
Why We Chose ETA
Sales contact Derrick responded quickly, was patient with customization, and flexible with pricing. This is what made us choose ETA over Super Eagles' rep, Chanson Kimani.
Note: ETA Adventure Safari and Super Eagles Safari are the same company, so the overall travel quality is trustworthy.

🇰🇪 Kenya — Highly Recommended
Masai Mara is smaller than Serengeti, which means animals are more concentrated and you can get surprisingly close to them. We strongly recommend booking at least 3 full days here.
▸ Our guide Symoh was a standout — experienced, well-connected with local rangers and other safari operators, and knew where to find animals. His network meant we could quickly reach spots where wildlife had just been spotted.
→ One downside: his Land Cruiser was in noticeably worse shape than other operators' vehicles — less comfortable seats, slower speed, and a bumpier ride. We hope the company invests in upgrading his car.
▸ Amboseli — handled by a partner agency, also great. Request Osutua Rafiki Camp specifically, it's better than Nyati Safari Camp.
▸ Food throughout Kenya was good. Budget accommodations offer better value than Tanzania's equivalent
▸ One hiccup: Derrick initially booked us into Manyatta Camp by mistake instead of Flair Camp. After we flagged it, he corrected it quickly. Just a heads up — Flair Camp is the better budget option, with nicer dining and rooms.
________________________________________
🇹🇿 Tanzania — Worth Managing Expectations
▸ Derrick told us ETA operates Tanzania directly, but it's actually handled by a third party: Seven Wonders Safaris. This matters for pricing — upgrading from basic camping to Shuhudia Camp & Hhand Lodge cost us an extra $100 USD per person per night through ETA. When we checked directly, Hhand Lodge was around $180 USD per room — could expect cheaper price via agency.
▸ Our honest suggestion: get independent quotes for Tanzania before committing through ETA.
▸ Our guide Tony was warm and very knowledgeable — genuinely enjoyable to be around. However, his vehicle's walkie-talkie seemed broken, which meant he couldn't pick up real-time wildlife updates in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This gap made a noticeable difference compared to our Kenya experience, where Symoh's connections helped us find animals much more efficiently.
⚠️ Stomach warning: Me & my friend — on separate days — had stomach issues after drinking hot tea/coffee on different day made by the in-vehicle chef. If you have a sensitive stomach, stick to food and drinks provided by the lodge or camp.

📋 A Few Things ETA Should Improve
▸Communication needs work. Throughout the trip, we were constantly handed off between different drivers and guides (it’s fine) — but ETA rarely told us in advance who was coming next. This caused unnecessary confusion.
Before arriving, we asked Derrick for our Nairobi pickup time and he said "the driver will let you know." We ended up eating breakfast in a rush, only to arrive at the meeting point and wait a long time for other travelers from different operators. A simple message before would have helped us a lot not to book the room with breakfast.
▸Transfer driver in chief Jacob was friendly and drove well — but was sometimes inflexible about timing. As mentioned, day one hotel pick-up was like that. And the last day he said schedules couldn't be adjusted, yet ended up changing it himself. Not a dealbreaker, but a bit frustrating.
