Safari with Trip Advisor Africa Safaris!
We started a process of choosing safari company about 40 days prior to arrival to Kenya. I sent about 15 emails to different safari companies with price request. Trip Advisor Africa Safaris replied very quickly and after the process of communication with the director Seth Vincent he offered us the best price among all safari operators! Need to note that safari by itself is not a cheap entertainment.
Communication with Seth was via Whatsap and email, he replied very quickly and detailed.
We transfered a deposit of 500 USD to Trip Advisor Africa Safaris to confirm our booking, residual amount we paid on arrival by cash.
Our itinerary included:
Day 1 - Pick up in the Airport Nairobi, where director Seth Vincent and our driver guide Jacob met us, then we proceeded to baby elephant center (David Sheldrick's Elephant Orphanage), then to the Giraffe Center, then after lunch we had a guided tour in Kibera slums, after which we had a wonderful dinner in Carnivore restaurant. The program in Nairobi was well-thought and intense, we probably wouldn't have made it by ourselves, so, services of Trip Advisor Africa Safaris was really valuable!
Day 2 - at 7:30 in the morning we started driving to Masai Mara through the Great African Rift Valley escarpment and through Lake Naivasha where we had a great boat trip. We saw a lot of birds, big group of hippocampus in the lake and even on the land! They are really impressive animals! And we even had a chance to walk on the land nearby to giraffes, very close! However, they are rather cowardly animals:) Overnight was in Mara Sidai tented camp which is quite nice.
Day 3 - Full day Masai Mara game reserve with our driver Jacob, who managed to show us a lot of animals just in one day! We saw a lot of wildebeests, antilopas, elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions - we even saw a hunting of female lion (which btw finished not in her favor:)) Jacob is really experienced and knowledgeable guide, he always tried to show us animals up close and to ensure that we have the best view!
Overnight was also in Mara Sidai camp.
Day 4 - After morning game drive in Masai Mara we headed to Serengeti national park via Isebania Serare boarder (Tabaka gate). At the border we changed our vehicle and met our Tanzanian driver guide Zigi. The scenery in this part of Tanzania is fantastic - very sumptuous greenery, authentic local villages (however, we were advised not to take photos of people there), gold mining pit! It was really beautiful road. Then we had a game drive in Serengeti and we saw also a lot of animals, here our driver Zigi showed us leopard and cheetah family! In Tanzania we had our private chief who cooked fantastic meals for us, the food was absolutely mind blowing, believe me! Especially in this natural conditions of camping, it was so romantic:))
Overnight in Serenera campsite.
Day 5 - Morning game drive in Serengeti national park, then we proceeded through Olduvai Gorge to Ngorongoro national park and stayed overnight in a picturesque Ngorongoro Simba campsite, it was rather wet and cold in the night and morning, however, we were aware of this.
Day 6 - in the early morning we headed to Ngorongoro Crater, there was morning fog covering crater's rim it was a mysterious view! In the Crater we saw many animals and the lake with pink flamingo! However, we were not able to drive close to them as far as park's rules prohibit off-road driving. It is wonderful how animals can form their own world inside the Crater.
After game drive we headed to the small town Karatu where our accomondation was beautiful lodge. I would recommend you to chose not camping but lodge option for the last day on safari to have a rest and relax :)
Day 7 - it was just a drive from Karatu to Arusha Airport from where we had a flight to Zanzibar :)
Overall, I would recommend to use Trip Advisor Africa Safaris services, their price policy is really fair, the director Seth Vincent tries to do all his best to organize your tailor-made trip. I wish you further development and a lot of happy clients! :)

A safari of a lifetime :-)
My fiancee and I booked a customized Safari with Kenya walking Survivors safaris and we were not disappointed! Mr Otieno, the man behind all the planning adhered to all our wishes and beat our expectations. We did a 7 days Safari: We visited Nakuru National Park where we had a game drive, we had 2 days Maasai Mara where we had the experience of a lifetime doing exciting multiple game drives and sleeping out in a cool tented camp with beautiful people and took an adventurous walk through the Green Crater Lake in Naivasha. My heart still skips a beat when I think of this walk :-P
The transfer from the airport to our hotel and later to our family in Kenya ran smoothly. All was catered for and we had the best company one would wish for.
Our driver and guide David was always commited, reliable and a good source of information. He had an answer to all our questions and knew exactly where and when we could see which animals.
Our chef Omondi saw to it that our appetites were satisfied. He never disappointed and always had our favourite dishes in mind.
Being a kenyan, I thought I knew alot about my beautiful land but I was proved wrong! Kenya was presented to me in way I had never seen it before.
My German boyfriend never ceases to tell everyone of the amazing experience he had.
We both agree that that was not our last safari. We are planning to go on many more and we already know who to consult: Kenya walking survivors safaris Ltd.

Unforgettable Safaritrip with our kids!
Makasa arranged a beautiful holiday for us. It was our first time to Tanzania and they did a great job arranging everything for us. The accommodations were very nice, the guide who accompanied us was more than great, the programme day by day were just perfect. We enjoyed the travelling so much because we knew there was nothing we had to think about, everything was arranged in detail. The safaritrips were so nice with our lovely guide and all the animals we were able to see. Makasa knows what people want when they come to Tanzania!

A fantastic safari
We got picked up by Peter who drove us to Maasai Mara for a three day safari. After lunch at our accomodation at AA Mara Lodge he sat down with us to hear about our expectations. We had a fantastic evening gamedrive. We spent the whole next day in the park, having lunch under a tree in the middle of nowhere. Best day ever! We felt that Peter did his absolute best to show us as much as possible.
On the last day Peter had arranged for us to visit a Maasaivillage. We were met by great hospitality.
Overall we had a fantastic, well-arranged safari with a wonderful guide and superb accomodation, lots of animals and friendly people.
If, or rather when, we return to Kenya we will most definatelly go on safari with Peter and Kibera Holiday Safaris again.

Always reliable and always on time.
I have been using Pro Shuttle, Tours and Adventures as a shuttle service to and from the airport for a couple years. They have been fantastic, and I know I can depend on thwir service.

Best experience
Tim Brown tours has the best customer service. We had their support at all times, with the reservation, payment, and then the tour was magnificent. They even made a special tour according to our preferences. I would totally recommend them if you want to experience the real coulture and have the best experience. Our guide (sorry that we don't know how to write his name) was awesome! He was very open with us and talked us through the history and the present of the Zulus.
