Incredible small group tours with amazing people!
I did the 4 days Kruger tour and the 8 days Botswana and Victoria falls tour. On both my tours, we were only 4 people which meant that we got to make really meaningfull connections with the other travellers, our guide was able to adapt the itinerary to our specific wants and needs and we had plenty of space in the bus and the tents! Before, during and after the tours, the communication with Sealous Safari was great. They made sure to remind me by email of the upcoming tour and always confirmed the pick up point and time, the itinerary and the material needed the day before starting the tour. More over, they make you fill out an evaluation form at the end of each tour so you can give them your comments and they actually take them into consideration to improve their tours. All the members of staff that I have met (drivers, guides, cooks and booking agents) were helpfull, friendly and knowledgeable. They were always there to answer questions and help you make the most out of your experience. Accomodations, activities and food were great. Of course, its camping so we had to pitch our tent, sleep on mats and help cooking but that made the experience that much more enjoyable. The only things that were deceiving are that the informations on their website are not updated and the breaks they take while driving are too long. Other than that, my expectations were met on all fronts and even exceded. Great value for money. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is up for a good camping trip in the African bush!

A wonderful trip and an amazing company
I will try and keep this review as short and concise as possible but its quite difficult because all I want to do is rave about Natural World Kenya Safaris.
We arrived home two days ago and it was by far the best trip I've ever been on... and I travel quite a lot.
My flatmate and I booked to go on a 9 day trip and upgraded to the 4x4 vehicle which I would definitely recommend. The more "van" like vehicles got stuck in the mud at Masai Mara where it is quite muddy so I would 100% recommend the 4x4.
Faith came to meet us from our hotel in the morning and introduced us to our driver Sisto. We were meant to have Philip but he was ill and we are so glad that Sisto was our driver (even though I'm sure Philip would have been wonderful too).
We drove from Nairobi to Amboseli and Sisto pointed out animals on the way and gave us facts. We pulled up on the side of the motorway...wondered why and Sisto showed us a giraffe which came up to about 3m from the car!
We arrived in Amboseli at the beautiful Sopa lodge and were treated so wonderfully. The lodges are beautiful, but make sure you take mosquito spray! There are mosquito nets at every lodge and the staff prepare them before bed for you and make sure theres no mosquitos inside which was a nice touch.
Amboseli is a beautiful park and we stayed there fore two nights. We saw lions and cheetahs on our first day and were so excited. Sisto really took the time to listen to which animals we were most interested in and find them for us.
From Amboseli we moved to Lake Naivasha which was even nicer (in terms of rooms). We were right by the lake and the hippos feed on the grass outside your room at night (they're dangerous so you have to be accompanied to and from dinner by security).
The food at both of these lodges was wonderful. Four courses with so much variety (and incredible Indian vegetarian food - which I recommend).
We went on the boat ride on the lake when we arrived and decided to do the Hells Gate walk the following day. I would suggest doing this as it is best to do the Hells Gate walk in the morning when more animals are out. It is too hot for them in the afternoon.
We saw so many hippos and birds on the boat ride and then the next day we went to Hells Gate National Park. We decided to walk (rather than cycle) and did a 10 mile walk with the park nearly completely to ourselves. We were so close to zebras and giraffes and I had a wonderful birthday there. This was my favourite thing we did on the whole trip and our guide Charles was really great.
We then drove to Lake Nakuru which was the most beautiful lodge yet. It was absolutely gorgeous and Sisto had told them it was my birthday so they put wine and flowers in my room and made me a huge cake! I was so touched and it was so sweet of Sisto to do.
We also had a safari here where we got to see Rhinos.
Our next stop was Masai Mara. The lodge was probably the most basic of the four, but had the most atmosphere as it was busier. The other lodges had all been very quiet (which was lovely) but there were more people at Masia Mara and the rooms weren't as nice. The Game Drives made up for it though. Safari is so exhausting that at the end of the day you don't really mind if your room has an amazing view or not. The Masai Mara Reserve is SO green and is teaming with wildlife. Sisto knew we really wanted to see a leopard and he spent about three hours trying to find us one which was so kind. Overall on the trip we saw 1 leopard, 10 cheetahs and 31 lions (including two sets of cubs) It was magical.
The staff at Masai Mara also put wine and flowers in our room for my flatmates birthday (two days after mine) and it was a very nice touch.
In terms of actual safari, I don't know how you could beat the trip we went on. We visited lots of different parks and therefore got to see lots of different wildlife. Amboseli had hundreds of elephants and then Masai Mara had lots of lions. It was nice to have a mix.
On our final day we had quite a long time before we had to head to the airport so Sisto took us to a giraffe sanctuary which was 10dollars and very resonable. It was lovely to have an all inclusive trip and not have to worry about money the whole time (apart from this one occasion). I would take money to tip your driver though. We gave our driver 50pounds each (so 100pounds total) and he was worth much more. We based that amount off other recommendations, so I would recommend taking Kenyan Shillings for that and maybe a thank you card. We ended up making him one on the last day as we hadn't thought ahead.
I could rave about this trip for hours, but I will leave it here. It was wonderful and I can't recommend them enough.

Clyde and the team where very helpful, very proffesional and organised everything perfectly.
Everything that Clyde said he would do, he did. The organisation was second to none, we were looked after at every juncture. The guides we had (3 in total) were good company, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. The accommodation was as good if not better that expectation. We had 4 internal flights and every one was organised well, we were handed over from one person to another with no room for getting lost or being unsure of what to do. We had an itinerary with us at all time and were given contact details for every eventuality, including Clyde had we needed him.
I would have no hesitation with recommending Clyde and the company, and we will use them again for our next adventure.
Many thanks

Excellent Safari (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengetti, Ngoronogoro)
My family of four really enjoyed our safari organized by Safari Multiways. It was a pleasure dealing with Romeo for his expertise in making the arrangements and designing a custom itinerary for our adventure. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and our driver (Omary) and cook (Dogo) did a great job taking care of us during our camping safari. I highly recommend Safari Multiways.

All bucket list items ticked off - great trip
From the time we were picked up at the airport to the time we said good bye to our Tour guide Godwin, we experienced a holiday of a lifetime
A soft introduction at a hotel in Arusha for one day saw us set off for 4 days of fantastic wildlife park viewing of animals
The second stage was set up on the edge of the Serengeti Park. We stayed 3 nights in good quality tent accommodation and experienced close up viewing of Chetahs, Leopards, Elephants, Giraffes and many other wildlife. We also viewed 4 natural kills by lions and cheats that while sad, demonstrated the natural survival behaviours in the wild.
All this was topped off with a ballon flight over the Serengeti followed by a champaign breakfast...what a wonderful day
We also made a late request to change part of our itinerary for Christmas Day accommodation. Encompass surpassed our expectation by securing 2 nights at the busy Sheraton 4 points in Arusha; a Christmas Day that will be etched in our memories for a long time.
Thanks you Encompass

We couldn't have made this trip happen without Matoke! Excellent itinerary for Uganda!!
Matoke was incredibly helpful for us during the safari planning phases. They responded quickly and answered all of our questions. They were also responsive while we were in the country :-)
The Uganda portion of the tour was incredible. Chimp trekking in Kibale and gorilla trekking in Bwindi were absolutely amazing. Definitely a bucket list experience for us!
The accommodations were also quite nice! We were very comfortable the entire time :-)
