Always goes the extra mile
Lamara Tourism provided an exceptionally personalised service towards making our dream honeymoon. In the run up to our holiday, Willy and the team were super knowledgable and gave good range of options throughout the process. We built a 3 week itinerary including Mt.Kenya, Mara & Tsavo with a drop off in Mombasa before we went onto Lamu.
On draft completion you would get a full PDF write up of each stage of the trip, photos, hotel and what was included.
Whilst on the trip we need a last minute change in itinerary, shifting everyday a day and adding another day in Mara. This was dealt with with minimal effort from our part and completely taken out of our hands, great!
Two areas I think they could have improved on is the consistency of their invoicing which came across slightly unprofessional and raised alarm bells (we got that resolved and all was good - don’t worry!).
Additionally we ended up choosing a couple of the hotels ourself (which is fine), however given that lodge was part of a wider group with multi-nights offers across their locations, we could have benefited from switching other hotels on the route.

Very good experience with Lambs
We made a full day Kruger with Lambs this Monday. It was a really pleasant experience. We loved the sightings, with especially 7 lions and 2 cubs among them. We saw many animals: Lambs was a perfect guide.
However, I need to highlight some things that need improvement. I made some others full days in the Kruger Park and I prefered some parts of those. With MoAfrika, no blankets are provided if it is cold when you are on the highway.
No coffee is provided either, you need to buy it by yourself.
There are some sharp visible screws on the door next to the passengers. It is a little dangerous with the dips and bumps on the road.
So, I really love the guide and his skills but Mo Afrika has some work to do to offer a total comfy and safe game drive.

Amazing experience
We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Our safari company was Unscripted Safaris who were very helpful and professional throughout. A special mention for our guide/driver Daniel who was exceptional - very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had a fabulous experience.
During our safari we managed to spot every animal we were hoping to see apart from rhino. We enjoyed Amboseli in particular as it is smaller than Masai Mara and less driving involved. Particularly impressive with Mt Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. Saw dozens of elephants. Less to see at Lake Naivasha although our hotel Sopa Lodge was superb. Masai Mara is vast so it took a lot of driving to be able to see animals such as lions, cheetahs and leopards. For this reason I would not recommend safari for families with young children We were there in April which is the rainy season but we were lucky that the rain only came once at night and once when we were travelling between Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. After our safari we flew down to Diani Beach to meet up with family. Beautiful beach and nice restaurants. We then travelled by hire car to Mombasa before flying home. The beaches north of Mombasa were nice but very windy at this time of year (not sure if it’s always like this). We were with a family member who is from Mombasa although now lives in the UK and he speaks Swahili. He was quite happy to drive the hire car - I would not recommend this for anyone unfamiliar with the area. We enjoyed Kenya, it’s a beautiful country and the people are friendly. However there is no doubt that there is a lot of poverty and it’s clear that most people are just scraping a living. This is hard for privileged Europeans to come to terms with.

An authentic experience
I booked the tour last minute. They were available at all times from the very beginning and really flexible in accommodating all my requests and confirming the tour last minute. They asked me what kind of experience I wanted to have and the budget I was willing to spend and built the tour according to my requests. The accommodation was very nice, with an amazing view and the place where we had all the meals was where one of those where local people go, which allowed for interaction with the local community as well as the stunning view of an elephant eating very close to where we were having dinner

Efficient, comfortable and perfectly prepared for the trip.
The experience of the safari tour with Branded Africa Safaris has been amazing so far. The safari guide has been available and flexible from the early beginning, showing a wide knowledge of the subject and giving always good insights.
The logistics organisation has been perfect since we had the driver picking us up directly from our house in Dar Es Salaam the first day. The vehicle was very well equipped and comfortable for the safari experience.
We recommend Branded Africa Safaris and his fantastic guide Devis!

79th IUGS Executive Committee meeting and African Event
WE could spend quite secured trips from Nairobi Airport to Conference hotel, all venues during conferences and go back to the Airport safely. The office arranged some optional tours according to the requests from each guests. We spent a quite nice time at Nairobi during conferences. Most participants enjoyed the life at Nairobi.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Levi Jacob Morris
The park has some diversity of settings but the main area's we explored were the savanna habitat and the area along the river leading to Murchison Falls. There is a good diversity of antelope species and therefore predators. We saw lions but unfortunately no leopards. The river cruise was good for seeing many bird species as well as hippos, buffalo, and elephants enjoying and escape from the heat of the day.
