An epic travel adventure to Kenya's National Parks with a knowledgable and experienced travel guide
We spent two adventurous weeks with James Muchina of Wild Portraits Safaris traveling to Kenya's National Treasures - Amboseli, Masai Mara Triangle, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Nairobi National Park. This is an epic adventure for photographers, as James is knowledgable of the local wildlife and can also identify and locate birds. He is respectful of the park rules and wildlife distancing. I would not want any other driver to assist with getting the best photographic positioning and anticipating wildlife locations. Our days started early at 6 am and did not end until 6 pm with a break for lunch, so that we could take advantage of seeing the height of animal activity. He is an excellent safe driver and will give you great confidence when traveling across Kenya. All accommodations that we had were in the parks. They were all excellent, clean and provided great food. A definite bucket list must do trip. Do not miss out, you will be ever thankful for this life changing experience in Kenya, it was worth every dollar spent! I would definitely travel with Wild Portraits Safaris again.

Incredible Cape Town & Wine Country Vacation Created by Charles Howie/ Safari 365
In a world where many prospective travelers are using Instagram and relying on the dubious advice of social media influencers for travel ideas; an environment where superficiality frequently overrides substance, my experience with Charles is the antithesis of that trend. First of all, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made some valuable suggestions, many of these were places that despite being an knowledgeable world traveler, I couldn't have come up with myself scouring the web. A long time resident of the Cape area, his deep knowledge of the area, much based on personal experience, was very helpful in creating an unique vacation. He steered me away from the "mass market tourism" places and created a truly bespoke trip. The Winchester Boutique Hotel in Cape Town he chose was exactly what I was looking for and the Tintswalo Atlantic Hotel in Hout Bay was absolutely breathtaking. He was also a great resource for local restaurants & experiences in Cape Town and wine country. He found me an unique, beautiful cottage on a vineyard in Franschhoek. I absolutely loved the area and enjoyed visiting the wineries. Two thumbs up for steering me to Franschhoek over Stellenbosch .. where most people would typically go. The final destination he directed me to was the Cederberg wilderness area, a place which I never knew about. The Cederberg Simbavati Lodge he picked was a really unique facility, from the breathtaking scenery, to the tours/hikes offered to the custom meals and high touch service. All travel arrangements he made, such as domestic air travel, transfers etc. were flawless. It really helped my peace of mind and allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. This is the second time I have worked with Charles Howie, the previous trip one was to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Charles is responsive, proactive and I really enjoy working with him.

Great experience with Joseph
I recently had a private transfer from the Radisson to the airport with Joseph as our driver and I couldn’t recommend him more. He was incredibly accommodating, helping us out at the last minute and made the whole experience stress-free. The drive was comfortable, smooth and punctual. Joseph’s professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail truly stood out. Excellent service - thank you Joseph!

Memorable
We had a fantastic time, Patricia who booked the trip for us was amazing! I choose her over the other operator's because I felt she was responsive, authentic, patient and helpful. I highly recommend this tour as you will have an immersive and fun experience. The food was delicious and plentiful and the guided tours provided interesting information and fun times. We saw many animals, which was so exciting. The value for the trip was well worth the money and economical. The staff and other people who were on the safari were all friendly and nice to be around. We would book another trip as we truly enjoyed this vacation! One of the best! and we really enjoyed staying at the lodge.

From the first contact to being dropped off at the hotel, everything was perfectly organized.
We had already done a safari in Kenya before, but this time we went to Tanzania. When comparing, it was clear how professional Mike really is. On SafariBookings I saw that many operators offered similar itineraries and the same accommodations, but with Mike we paid almost 25% less. From the start, Mike was incredibly kind, professional, and well-organized. Since our children are Spanish-speaking, we asked if it was possible to have a Spanish-speaking guide, and Mike arranged this without any problem. The guide Bakari Ally was wonderful warm, fluent in both Spanish and English, and very knowledgeable about the country and the animals. We booked a 2-day safari and it was truly unforgettable. The way Mike and the guide treated us and our kids made the whole experience extra special, our children still ask when they will see Bakari again! If I ever go on safari again, I will definitely book with Sereland africa tours.

We had a great time with this safari operator
It was our trip of a lifetime, especially thanks to our guide Ben. We experienced more animal encounters than I ever expected and he taught us a lot about the animals and the environment while making it fun. Wildlife in Moremi, Savuti and Chobe is just amazing! Thanks Wild Ridge Bush Trails Safaris
