Perfect Safari with Sino Africa Safari
I discovered Sino Africa Safari by chance by looking at ratings on Tripadvisor plaftorm. I did not regret our choice !
First of all, before departure, the responsiveness and precision of the answers provided by Jong was essential for our preparation. The possibility of easily choosing our itinerary and accommodation was very significant.
Once in Kenya everything went smoothly and wonderfully. Our driver guide Solomon was absolutely incredible, very friendly, driving carefully on road and knew every corner of the park very well.
We were having a private Land Cruiser and visited Samburu, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara.
We absolutely recommend Sino Africa Safari for your safari to Kenya.

Great tour of Kenya
We took a safari for 9 nights with this safari company and it was a journey to remember. Seeing the animals in wild is just breath taking. It was a dream coming true. From day one all the communications were quick and transparent . The tour was well organized. We visited Masai Mara , Amboseli, Aberdere and Naivasha. Our driver guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We thank Sino Africa Safari for this fantastic trip.

An AMAZING adventure with Kanyezi!
The word AMAZING does not do justice to our KANYEZI AFRICA SAFARI that we just had in South Africa. This trip had been on our bucket list for some time and it was EVERYTHING that we wanted it to be!
We had paid for the “lie down” seats on the planes and we enjoyed EVERY minute of our flight. We were totally rested when we got there and got home. That part was wonderful!
Our few days as the “extension” at Spier Winery Lodge were great. Great facilities and great food. The tour of Cape Town allowed us to see the beauty and history of this beautiful city and surrounding sea and greenery. Beautiful!
THEN we flew again and arrived at Dulini Lodge! Talk about beautiful—this was IT! Our suite was large, African styled, and wonderfully clean . Our individual pool was great, large deck and we felt like royalty when the netting was drawn each night. Just like the movies!
The food was outstanding and served with much flair. Every meal was delicious and we even had a special night dinner out in the bush. The employees took care of our every need. It was top of the line!
THEN what we had come for — the SAFAR! Mere words do not describe our reactions and feelings as we would sit in our Range Rover and quietly watch the animals. Our Ranger, Nic, and Tracker, Dyke, knew the animals and told us so many interesting facts as we watched. We got to see elephants mating, hyenas breaking bones on an impala, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, crocodiles, water buffalos — to name a few. Nic and Dyke had such respect for the animals and their habitat — the animals were right up close to us — always. We had never expected this closeness and we had felt we would see animals further away. Not so — right up close. The personalities of Nic and Dyke were soothing and great. When we go again, we will request both of them. Dyke even made a special drink for our breaks out in the bush. We felt VERY safe with Nic, but were glad that he carried a gun that would have protected us if need be. The SAFARI was EVERYTHING that we could have dreamed about. Thank you, Kanyezi, for all of that.
Then there was Chris and Michael, father and son. I helped coordinate our group of 9 women and had dealt with Chris throughout the time of postponing the trip because of COVID. While at the Dulini Lodge, Chris turned the company over to his son, Michael. It is a GREAT COMPANY, founded in love of South Africa and Dulini Lodge. Happy Retirement, Chris. Thanks for all the set up you did.
Michael is a gem! He is so excited about his company and has had lots of experience in South Africa — ever since he was 12 years old. He stayed right with us all the way through our trip. He did so many things for my friend and me. We were the oldest women in our group and we ALWAYS knew that Michael had our back! He will do well with the future! Chip is going to do well as the Quality Man. They both love what they are doing.
I know this review is very long but I just HAD to write about so many wonderful things. I have only tipped the iceberg on our memories. Since returning home, I have been showing my pictures to several friends. I have told each of them about KANYEZI and how it is such a great company to go on SAFARI with.
I cannot say enough positive remarks about KANYEZI and ALL the employees that we dealt with. It is LUXURY at its finest. If you are hesitating, DO NOT! You will not be disappointed!
If I can answer any specific questions for you, just email me and I will be glad to answer. [email protected]
Happy Safari!!!!!

Incredibly friendly, helpful and professional.
When considering a safari, we were not sure what we wanted, and only had a rough idea about region and budget. Within a day of contacting Discover Africa, we were equipped with multiple options in multiple countries at a variety of budgets. The itineraries offered were all exciting and having spoken further with our agent they could be further tailored to our needs. We ended up going above our budget, because the package deal was exactly what we wanted in the dates we wanted. Safaris are not cheap because of the nature of the environment, vehicle maintenance, specialist guides, and the logistic support associated with it. We saw and spoke with many other people during our time there and came away genuinely believing we had been with the best and had enjoyed the most rewarding time.
Our trip consisted of connecting flights (on progressively smaller planes), from Johannesburg, to Kasane and then West to Xanaka airport on the edge of the Okavango. We then had 9 nights in three different tented camps that moved with us through three different safari areas. The tents were well maintained, insect free (with good door discipline) and equipped with en suite toilet and shower. They were camping style but warm water was available, they were hygenic and service from the camp staff was exceptional. The partnered Letaka safari group were outstanding throughout. Every meal provided was excellent, the majority of the food of restaurant quality cooked on an open fire or in a camp oven. I have no idea how the chef made such amazing bread every day!
Truly a great experience with fantastic organisation. 11/10
The guide Robson, was outstanding, to the point where other guides deferred to his experience and knowledge. We were on safari at the end of the wet season when grass is high and animals sometimes difficult to spot, but through a combination of tracking, observation and local knowledge we missed nothing. Indeed we saw things things that far surpassed out expectations. His knowledge of flora, fauna and birdlife was extensive.
On the end of our trip we tagged on a short trip to Victoria Falls and some single night stays in lodges. Both lodges were excellent, the transfers and help at the border was seemless and our connecting flight to return worked perfectly. Having spent more than we intended initailly we had absolutely no regrets after the trip, it was the best holiday we have ever had (and I have traveled round a bit).
I should note that at the start of our trip from the UK, our main flight was cancelled with just 30 mins before departure. This effectively threw into jeopardy the entire trip. One call to Discover Africa and everything was sorted, with new flights and links arranged before we even touched down in Johannesburg. This is a credit to the company and we could not be more grateful.

Best tour operator to experience Kenya to the fullest!
Me and 4 friends booked a 9 day safari with Mufasa Tours (Masai Mara - Lake Navaisha - Hell's gate national park - Nairobi - Amboseli) and it was one of the best experiences I've had in my life.
We absolutely loved our guide Kephar! He was always laughing, super friendly, answering our questions about Kenya, accommodating to all our requests (from finding an ATM, to getting up early to watch the sunrise, to dancing in front of the Kilimanjaro). His driver skills are incredible and he always managed to show us the best angles of the most unique wildlife! We managed to see the big 5 in one day, a hunting cheeta with 4 little babies, a sleeping leopard in a tree, and everything we could wish for. Having him as a guide and driver made our trip so relaxed while travelling the long distances from park to park.
They have a selection of amazing camps, especially Entim Mara Camp was incredible! Amazing setting and very good food! They arranged a sunset trip with apero for us, provided us with drinks for our afternoon drivers etcetera.
Highly recommend spending some extra money on choosing the jeep. Much better during safaris to spot the animals and to be comfortable during the long transport. We were 5 and that was perfect, but would not recommend sharing it with more people.
In terms of services I don't think we could have asked for more! Joseph helped us with answering all our practical questions upfront, always replied very quickly, was flexible with the accommodation and arranging everything last minute. Even after our 9 days ended, he still helped us with transportation to our next destination which we really appreciated!
Thank you so much for the incredible experience!

Excellent budget safari
Excellent communication. Such a wonderful experience, I was apprehensive going on this budget safari, but I had nothing to worry about. I was looked after so well. Yes you sleep in a tent for a couple of nights but that is actually fantastic and such a privilege I think to stay in these amazing places with animals all around. The guide the cook all the camp staff are so amazing and take care of your so well. This whole experience is amazing value for the money you pay.

Albert made our first safari very special
We went on a 5 day safari as a group of 3 friends and overall we had an amazing time. We were grouped with a family that had a shorter trip than us but we didn’t have any issues with timing due to the different itineraries. Albert, our driver and guide was a rockstar at navigating the parks and getting us to all of the different locations. He was super respectful to the animals but still made sure we saw all of the different animals in the park. I’d highly recommend Albert to any friend going on a safari. Axis seemed to be great. I wasn’t the main person communicating with them in my group but everything was pretty clear. I wish they’d given us a bit more of a packing list (knowing to have a flashlight at the first camp would’ve been awesome) but otherwise we had an amazing time and a great first safari experience
