Unforgettable memories
We visited last week of May to Masai mara. The grass is tall but we could spot animals in person but not great to capture photos.
Our guide Chefben was amazing in explaining animal behaviour, patterns, and he had answers to all of our curious questions. We had taken private safari vehicle and it was worth for us with a 2year old.
The accommodation was amazing location, food was great- both Indian and continental cuisine was available. The hospitality was fantastic, no complaints at all.
And regarding the tour operator, he met us in Nairobi both to receive and sending in person and arranged vehicle to/from from next stops. When i requested the quote, Ben had already curated for a private safari vehicle for us- it just shows how dedicated they are.

Amboseli Wildlife Park
We were very pleased with the support we received from Esther of Cherish Safaris Kenya when making our booking for the three day, two night safari to Amboseli National Park. Francis met us as arranged at the Namunga Border crossing (between Kenya and Tanzania) and then drove us through the Park for a couple of hours wildlife viewing.
There were eight of us and the one Toyota safari vehicle was cramped, and we should have booked two vehicles and drivers.
The Sopa lodge in Amboseli was great, the rooms were comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful and the choice and quality of food at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner were excellent, as were the facilities such as the pool, the massage spa, the Hemingway bar and indoor and outdoor bar areas, and gardens.
We had been travelling by road in Southern and Eastern African countries for four weeks and had already been to a number of large wildlife parks, and I’d suggest the wildlife viewing in Amboseli was much sparser than in Tanzania, and the Serengeti and I think we would have been happier had we travelled further North in Kenya to the Masai Mara National Park. Maybe next time.
The Amboseli NP suited our travel arrangements as we had four days to fill in between leaving the Rift valley in Tanzania and flying from Nairobi to Mauritius. We had already been spoilt for Wildlife and so for our needs the Cherish Safari was perfect.
After leaving Amboseli, Esther had booked us a night’s accommodation in the Panafric Hotel in Nairobi which was perfect for our last night before leaving Kenya Thank you Esther and Francis.

A Dream Safari in Kenya with Wecam Safaris
Wecam Safaris has made our African dream of a safari a reality. Since landing in Nairobi, their team has handled everything with extraordinary warmth and professionalism. Maasai Mara's game drives were magical - we saw lions, elephants and leopards on the first day! Our driver-guide was very knowledgeable and always tried to give the best experience. Accommodations were very comfortable and the food was excellent. If you are planning a safari in Kenya, you must consider Wecam Safaris. It's highly recommended!

Incredibly personable and hospitable!
Joseph and his team at White Plains Safaris were excellent guides during our time in Kenya. They were personal, professional, and incredibly hospitable, always making sure the needs of our team were met. Their care and attention made our entire trip and safari experience smooth, memorable, and truly enjoyable. I highly recommend White Plains Safaris!

Bad bad experience with Greg Adventures
We were scheduled for a 3 day safari with Greg Adventures but at the end of the first day, the vehicle we were in filed on its side and two of the 6 passengers were injured and needed stitches. The driver never helps in any way. He was too interested to erase the name of Greg Adventures from the side of the vehicle. In addition Greg adventures denies any responsibility. This outfit is unreliable and should not be trusted if anything should happen during your safari.

Top Selected Tours - your partner to the best safari experience in Tanzania
If you are in a rush without time to read the full review, just know that our experience with Top Selected Tours was seamless and we strongly recommend it!
If you have a bit more time, then read below:
During all the quotation and booking process we were in contact with Catherine who was available to reply to our questions, presented different options for our first safari itinerary, always with a very smooth and careful communication that made us trust the process immediately.
The organization of the safari was seamless, with very comfortable and beautiful accommodations that ensured a good rest for the following safari days. They also provided attention to dietary restrictions and ensured all accommodations could align with such requirements which was extremely appreciated on our side.
Now, regarding the safari itself, we did a 5-day safari and it was marvelous. No words are enough to describe it! And the main reason for that was to have our guide, Jackson, showing us all the way through Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Park. Jackson is extremely nice and polite, someone easy to get along with and whose company was very cherished by us. Jackson knows all these places as well as his own hands and we felt full trust in him short after we first met him. Jackson is a very experienced guide who shared with us a lot of details of what we were seeing, about animals, plants, the history of each place - all the questions we had and the ones we didn't know we had, Jackson had the answer! He safely drove us through the most amazing places and bacause of his experience and knowledge of the field, we had the opportunity to see all the big 5 and many more animals during our safari. On top of that, we had also shared with Jackson that we would like to see the great migration and he quickly adapted our route to also take us to the right places and show us the migration.
Our only regret? Not having stayed longer!
For us, it is a no brainer - we can't wait to return sometime soon together with Top Selected Tours!

The planned activities were absolutely amazing.
Adventures on wheels tour guide company was wonderful, as we truly enjoyed ourselves. From the game drive, to the sunset cruise, the musical we watched, and the delicious food we had. Our tour guide Janet was very thorough, punctual, and informative, making sure we got great value deals while also having a fun time.
I would definitely recommend Adventures on Wheels and look forward to booking with them again when I return.

Excellent
We took part in an 8-day gorilla (Kaara mountain lodge, Bwindi), chimpanzee (Kibale forest tourist lodge) and golden monkey trekking, spiced up with 2 days of rest at the lake Mutanda resort. The experiences, the accommodation, the food were all fantastic, exceeding our expectations. The road and the tours were very safe. It was simply fantastic organization, and we had an experience of a lifetime.
