Excellent climbing and safari trip
When we arrived at the airport Edward picked us up and brought us to the wonderful Ilboru Safari Lodge. The next day we met our guide for the climbing of Mount Meru. Everything was perfectly arranged by Magda and Edward. After this trip we visited a number of national parks with a guide who took us everywhere and gave us a lot of information. Both guides were well informed, kind, reliable, taking good care of everything. After these trips we planned to do some other things (Zanzibar). Flash safari's helped us organising this, you can ask them anything, they have a lot of contacts!
Before we arrived in Tanzania the contact with Magda by email was perfect, all our questions were answered very quickly . She is very pro-active!
The trips really met our expectations. The climbing of Mount Meru was difficult but the views are spectacular. The safari's were impressive, far beyond our expectations. Everything was very well organised.
We can really recommend Flash Safari's! Magda, Edward, thanks for the wonderful experience.

Great Safari
We were so lucky to find out Baboon safari here. Mr. Dennis did great job to arrange our trip. Great communication before we arrive Nairobi. Our guide and driver, Mr. Dugan, was really nice and experienced. We saw big 5 and many other animals. Our trip is budgeted, but the camp was not too bad. Wee met lots of friends there. One thing I have to say was that my friend forgot her wallet at the hotel, and they help to find it without any valued missing, and even bring it to our next camp for us. We were really satisfied with their service and enjoyed the trip, will definitely choose them if we come to Africa.

Best trip we have taken. The guide made it unforgettable
I am extremely pleased we booked with Red Africa Safaris. We had a great time and will book with them again in an instant. Our trip included the scenic panoramic route, a trip to Kruger National Park, and a visit to multiple animal rescues. Red Africa Safaris makes sure the companies they work with are ethical and have a focus on wildlife conservation. It was a good feeling to know all of the businesses through this trip were treating their animals well and releasing back into the wild when possible.
What really made our trip special was our guide who joined us from the moment we got off the plane until we departed. He drove us from location to location, told us about the creatures we were seeing, helped us track wildlife we wanted to see, cooked several meals for us, helped us spot animals, taught us a ton about the bush and it's creatures and answered all of our questions. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding any topic we wanted to know more about. We would often to stop so he could explain plant life, local birds, any animal we saw, the history of what we were seeing, geographical features, conservation efforts and even current day Africa. It is fun to look for the big 5, but it was often just as interesting to learn more about the birds or plants. In the end it was like we were traveling with a good friend not just a guide.
The animal rescues were an awesome addition to our trips into the bush. You are given the opportunity to get up close and personal with the animals you saw in the wild. Some of our highlights were walking with lions, getting a kiss from elephants, petting an eagle, and having a monkey ride on our shoulder. It also was great to see some animals that are harder to see in the bush like painted dogs.
Book your holiday with these Red Africa Safaris. They make sure you have a great time and work with a focus on ethical conservation.

Wonderfull experience
From day one Mike was helpfull and set up a 2 days visit to Amboselli and a 3 days visit to Masai Mara for us. I travelled with my wife on a private tour with Ancient. First transportation was quire old. We asked a different car for the second safari and Mike acceded kindly. Our driver found the best spot for watching the animals and gave useful explanations. Mike was allways in touch via whatsapp and responded promptly to our requests. Advisable company to hire.
Surreal amazing experience
My partner and I went on a 3 day Masai Mara Safari for the first time and I must say it was an absolutely out of this world experience, it was surreal.

Unforgettable Safari
We had the opportunity to meet Armand on our recent trip to Kruger. He was an excellent guide. After three days of no lion sightings with other guides, he found us not one lion sighting but three, and the elusive leopard all in one day.
Not only did he provide an excellent tour full of education about the animals, plants, and region he also is a man of great integrity. There was another safari tour that had gotten a flat on the side of the road. He took the time to help them change the tire. I think this is a great example of his character and professionalism as a guide.
I would highly recommend going on tour with Armand. He was great at engaging us throughout the entire and experience and finding some amazing animal sightings! Thank you for everything Armand!
Oh by the way he is also an amazing photographer.

Very Professional
From the first email until good-byes at the airport, everything about Trevaron Tours was highly professional. Hannah at the office planned an itinerary around our personal interests and then met us upon arrival at the airport (11 PM on a Saturday night). She went with us in the transport to the hotel and made sure all our questions were answered. Next morning, our guide, Simon arrived in a well equipped Land Cruiser. Simon was friendly, capable and knowledgable. If we asked a question that he didn't know the answer to, he wasn't shy to say so - but then he would find out the answer. He drove carefully, was knowledgeable about the animals, birds, plants, geography, climate, history, and current affairs of Kenya. He also speaks 4 languages and was delightful company. The one minor problem that arose during the safari was quickly handled and sorted out. At the end of our 12 days, Hannah met us for a review. I wouldn't hesitate to use Trevaron again, and to recommend them to others.

A trip of a lifetime
This was our first time going on safari and we depended greatly on Natasha at Sun Safari for all of our accommodations, road transfers, tours and small aircraft reservations. The trip exceeded our highest expectations, with every lodge and hotel, tour guide and tracker, being outstanding, professional and of the highest quality. We had not a moment of stress despite having numerous arrangements in a country unknown to us. Natasha handled every detail with professional skill and we can recommend her highly.

Yes you can!
My girlfriend, 22, and I, 26, had a great experience with Back of Africa Adventure, from the very first day of our pick-up at the airport by the greatest guide you may find - Obama :) - until being dropped off again. All our questions in advance and in the Back of Africa office in Nairobi were handled with joy and professionalism by Allan.
We decided to go for a four-day safari, one to be spent in Nakuru NP and three in Masai Mara NP. On Day One, Obama picked us up at our place in the outskirts of Nairobi early in the morning to start the trip to Nakuru through the beautiful Rift Valley. Upon arrival in Nakuru, we had the opportunity to check into a very comfortable, spacious hotel where we had a great lunch and rest before embarking on our first game drive in Nakuru NP. Although it was raining, Obama made sure we had the most mesmerising time; we spotted many birds, gazelles, antilopes, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, baboons, and, the absolute highlight, four rhinos, both black and white rhinos. Obama taught us about the animals' lives with great expertise throughout all encounters.
In the morning of Day Two, we continued our journey in joyful mood to Masai Mara NP, only to find out that our Nakuru experience could be topped. We spent two nights in a lovely eco camp run by local Maasai right next to a river bordering the park. During three days of safari (afternoon drive - full-day game drive - morning drive), we saw the Big Five and many other species. It was clear that this was mostly thanks to Obama's great expertise and knowledge of the park - he knew every corner and road and, most importantly, where to find wildlife in its finest form. Apart from that, he also was the go-to-guy for the other safari operators. In Masai Mara NP, Obama was also very open to spontaneous rescheduling and gave his best for us to have an incredible time. During long hours in the car outside the nationalparks, he further discussed not only the animals and plants, but also football and Kenyan politics - he knows it all! On top of all, Obama and Allan together dropped us off at the airport in Nairobi, incl. a farewell drive alongside the Nairobi NP. Cristina and I couldn't have been in better hands and highly recommend this operator with their amazing staff to everyone interested in visiting Kenya. Special thanks to Allan and Obama!
