Magic Serengeti
We spend 5 days around Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Mack was funny, polite and very generous with us.
Thomas, our driver, was simply the best: great knowledge of area and animals, funny, always quit and very polite. He delivered every requests from us. He let us see a Leopard as close as possible!
When we turn back to Serengeti we'll ask for Thomas again!

Marvellous days in Kruger!
Some fantastic days in South Africa this summer!Spent one week in Kruger, visiting camps I did not find time to visit last time I was in this wonderful park, and also a re-visit to some camps from which I have very good memories. All the time under the fantastic guidance of Ryan, and enjoying the company of his whole family and Wild Planet Safari customers from the USA. I loved the delicious food, and appreciated all the personal service. And I also was very happy with the closed vehicle on the cold winter mornings. Already looking forward to my next visit. It wo'nt be long!

awesome safari experience
my safari trip with my three daughters was the trip of a life time! We went on the recommendation of a co worker because choosing a company from the many available was overwhelming and frankly scary. She did not steer us wrong. Good Earth was helpful from day one, accomodating our scheduling requests and answering all my questions. Our driver- Moses- was amazing. His English was outstanding and he was knowlegeable about all the wild life, plants and birds in the various areas. He accomodated our requests and catered to our needs. The accomodations were nothing short of amazing and staff everywhere were wonderful. we were able to see animals that we never expected- and experienced the great migration first hand, many lions and their cubs and a high point of my trip- a lion taking down an animal. I have already recommended Good Earth to several of my friends and i fully plan to return to Africa during a different season, using Good Earth.

They truly care about you!
This is the 3rd trip our family has taken with this company and could not be more pleased! They go out of their way to accommodate your needs, meet your requests, exceed your expectations, tailor the trip to your desires. Both times we made special requests to alter the itinerary and change the accommodations and both times they were more than happy to grant our requests. They hire such amazing staff that we bonded with our driver the first time and always request him for future trips. They truly feel like family and keep everything at such a personal level that we consider them friends. But yet they run their business at the highest professional standards! You always feel like you are in such good hands, being taken care of every step of the way. We have young children, and we were so impressed with how they constantly had our children in mind and paid attention to so many little details (toilet paper in the van for roadside emergency bathroom stops, cold water in the cooler at all times, etc.) Angel would call multiple times throughout our trip to check on how things were going; such attentiveness and genuine care that we were having a positive experience and if there was anything we needed along the way. They have such good hearts and exemplify Christian values! SUCH a phenomenal company to work with!

An Once In A Lifetime Experience
The accommodations were great and the location was beautiful. The
staff was very friendly and helpful. The gorilla trek was an amazing
experience and one I would recommend to anyone traveling to Uganda. I am so glad I made the decision to do this tour, because
this is definitely an once in a lifetime experience that I will always remember.

Make-A-Wish Trip with Kruger
I cannot say enough positive things about Kruger Park Travel! I am a Wish Coordinator for Make-A-Wish Colorado and came across Kruger Park Travel when we had a wish for a young girl whose wish was to visit Victoria Falls. I reached out to Kruger about some potential options and immediately got a supportive and excited response. They sponsored our wish child's wish and planned an amazing trip for her family. Kylie was so easy to work with and helped me with every question that I had. I wish I could use Kruger for every wish!

Good experience - recommend.
I was a little concerned to make a 15% deposit to someone I'd never met but it all worked out fine. This is the best value safari I could find and the fact that it included the nights before and after the safari in Arusha is a massive plus. I was with two couples who booked through other providers and paid different (larger) amounts of money. It's like the provider you book with doesn't matter too much as you often seem to end up in mixed groups of different tour operators.
Anyway the trip: august is a little cloudy so hear that in mind, and it's quite cold at higher altitudes. But it's still an incredible experience. I went to Ngorogoro, Serengeti and Manyara. Lake Manyara is pretty over crowded so I would say prioritise spending more time in the other parks. Cook really good (how he made such good food on one gas stove i'll never know) and guide very knowledgeable, with the right answer to every animal question. Organisation was slightly disorganised in the sense that noone knew if we had sleeping bags etc but it all worked out in the end. Very grateful to Geofrey and the others for an excellent trip.
Advice: the roads are atrocious in the Serengeti (just fyi, expect a spinal massage). Pack really warm stuff for Ngorogoro. 5 nights is about right given the amount of time to drive to Serengeti from Arusha. Any less and you would risk not seeing everything, and more and you might be safari'd out. It's difficult to see rhino at the moment (heard different explanations e.g. illness, dry season).

Very experienced drivers who knew the game drive from the back of their hands.
Noah Kuti did a great job by organizing the safari for a huge group.
Payments could have been smoother but managed very well in the end.
Kudos to drivers Leonardo,Jeffrey and the others..they are very friendly,knowledgeable
and were always willing to help.landcruisers were in super condition and made our bumpy ride comfortable.
Managed to catch up with the big 5 and a whole lot of wildlife in abundance,which only Kenya can promise.
Sopa lodges at amboseli,Nakuru,Mara and Naivasha were fantastic and exceeded expectations .

Amazing safari with KETS
As a safari in Africa was a once in a lifetime opportunity for myself and my husband , choosing a company to go with was a big deal. KETS was wonderful from the beginning. You won't receive better customer service than from Paul, who always responded to any questions we had prior to our safari within hours (despite the 7 hour time difference on our end!) Our guide, Sammy was very experienced, helpful, courteous, kind and a skilled driver. Specifically, our package included Tsavo East and West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. All locations had their highlights, but if you have the chance to go to Tsavo, I highly recommend it. It was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Huge thanks to KETS for giving us such wonderful memories. We hope to be back to Kenya again someday, and won't hesitate to choose KETS again.
