Awful tour for affordable price level.
We can truly say, we had a great tour with many highlights, especially in Maasai Mara, where we got in close contact to the big five. Before starting the tour we had no big expectations, but after the tour all our expectations have been fulfilled. The accommodations were okay as well as the food, which was served. We had a perfect guide (Arony). He was a very good and safe driver and took care about us all the time. We can recommend Karibu Safaris in Kenya to all, who would like a budget and no luxory safari.

A fantastic adventure through South Africa
Going on safari with Benjamin as our guide was perfect.
Benjamin is very enthusiastic, he knows a lot about the nature and culture of South Africa and he is a real gentlemen.
Thanks to him it was a great journey that we will never forget.

Really great and exceptional experience
My wife and I were recommended by the Sarova Mara hotel to book our 3 day safari at the Masai Mara with the Bigfoot Adventures. Since, it was our honeymoon trip, we wanted everything perfect, including the car, the guide, trips, minute details etc. We were absolutely delighted with every single thing we received.
The Car: We got the best 4x4. I can vouch for it as other guides and tourists used to stare at our huge and new car. It was very comfortable and made the safari experience very enriching. At many points in the safari, our guide drove across fully utilizing the car's power across rough trails and ponds.
Guide: Dexter was our guide for the 3 day sojourn. Dexter was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and really great at spotting animals. At several occasions, we were the first to spot the animals and other cars would simply follow us via radio chatter. At one time, Dexter spotted first the rhino (such a rarity and luck!) and he drove across the terrain while not losing sight so that we won't miss it. I am sure we kept Dexter busy by asking him so many questions not only about the animals but also about everything under the sun in Kenya! He responded very well to all our questions with great interests.
Overall experience: We really enjoyed the entire experience. BigFoot really made it very good for us. Big thumbs up! I am pretty sure, if we come to Kenya again, we are going to call them up again. Mercy/Maureen were the people whom we contacted for booking our tour. They were very humble and courteous and they really helped us make our journey memorable.

Well Planned Kenya Safari
This was our first trip to Africa let alone Kenya, so before planning the tour I was very apprehensive about booking directly with a Safari company in Kenya. However because I wanted a customized itinerary and also has a budget I contacted Shoor Safaris through a referral from a friend who had travelled to Kenya with this operator.
From the time I emailed the Shoor team till when we arrived for our 7 day Safari the communication was very clear, informative and to the point.
The actual safari was amazing..words cannot describe the beauty of Kenya and its wildlife not to mention its people.
Our Driver was also the perfect guide and a very nice jovial person who took care of every part of our tour. We had such a good time that we have decided as a family that will be back to East Africa in the near future.
So thank you to Shoor Safaris in Kenya for the memorable Safari !

Fantastic trip with Rachel team
My friends and I enjoyed our trip across East Africa, it was memorable, trips to destinations in Kenya and Tanzania we're worth the experience. In a group of five we toured Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro crater facilitated by tour guides from African Habitat Safaris everything went as planned . It was good to interact with the natives and experience cultural diversity on this part of the world. We must say the game drives besides site seeing made this vacation a unique experience. It was worth the time, and you get value for your money African Habitat is the best...

WONDERFUL and VERY GREAT adventure
We visit the Safari last week tru the help of Mr Eric Lennox.
Booking your safari trip is not easy specially if you do not know anybody in Africa. So I browse the internet and found a good review about Axis Africa Safari and it is recommended by previous customer so I tried contacting this office. Turns out that everything is easy and Mr Lennox is easy to talk to and always ready to response to your queries.
We booked 6 day Safari and we had a very wonderful experienced. Great to see wild animals and plus we think we came to perfect weather. But According to the guide- the migration of the wildebeest and other animals is between July to October. So if you want to see more animal it is better come to these month so you will be able to see more animals on the field.
We saw many zebras and gazelle's and smallest antelope, elephant and we even see bat eared fox and other foxes, lions, cheetah's and leopard around and it was so so good to see them in person living in the wild.
Clothes- you can wear any clothes of your preference.
Camp- We stayed in Lenchada camp in Masai Mara for 2 nights where we experience the hospitality of the locals. The other lady looks like she is angry all the time but inside she is really kindhearted woman. The other camp are also great and they met our expectations. In Amboseli park we stayed in Kimana camp for one night and I had to upgrade from Kimana camp to Kibo camp for the second night.
Kibo camp is great experience and they even have restaurant and swimming pool and bar where you can have a drink and relax after a long day drive from safari. They also have wifi which is very important (to update your facebook and blogs) and for the cost I think it is reasonable.
Our driver name is John. He is the one who drives us for 6 days in the safaris and I would say that he is well trained and well mannered tour guide and driver. He speaks English fluently and he is easy to talk to. Because we visit safari with our big camera's, often time I had to ask John to stop the car and stop the Engine (when in safari) to avoid shake and blur for my photo and he always answer to my bidding :)
The result of course we are happy because we get the photo that we wanted.
For this great experienced, I would like to say big Thanks to Axis Africa Safaris team for giving us great experienced. I would recommend that they should put "Wi-fi" on the vehicle so the tourist will have access on the internet during the travel like other safaris van do.

Amazing experience
My husband and I were on a 6-days' safari in Kenya with Karibu safari. they did great job from the start, were quick to reply and follow up. I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of accomodation, seeing that we were on a budget safari. Our driver, Arun, was very professional at all times and it was clear that he's had vast experience with safaris. We got to see much more than I could have ever imagined thanks to him. All in all, a fantastic trip and value for money!
Quick tip: even though it says that water is included, it only includes full-day safaris in Amboseli and Masai Mara. You have to pay for water at lunch and dinner.

Excellent!
The whole trip was perfectly organized. Communication, planning, service, accommodation, sights - everything was just perfect. We really had the greatest experience possible. The tour was even more exciting than we had imagined. I would really like to recommend Rhulani Safaris for photo safaris or just for getting an impression of this beautiful country and all of the animals living there. People at Rhulani Safaris really do their best to make this experience unforgettable. We will go there again as soon as we have vacation that is long enough ;-)

Some Fantastic Days in Safari and City Tour Mombasa
My girlfriend an me had a very good time with WildLife Sun Safaris during our Holiday in Kenia.
First we booked a 3-Days Safari to Tsavo-East National Park and Amboseli National Park for a fair and good Price. Our Driver Thoja gave us a pleasant Ride to the National Parks and also inside the Parks. During the whole Trip we felt save and comfortable in the car and also in the Accomodations. By the way the Accomodations were much more luxury what we expected. If we had questions or a request to Thoja, he always took the time to answer us and to fullfill our request.
Because of the very good Safari Tour we booked another 1-Day Safari to Shimba Hills and a full day City Tour which were also absolutly satisfactory Trips. You will definetely not do something wrong, if you book a Trip with WildLife Sun Safaris. Definetly 5 Stars.
Also many thanks to James who has answered always and very fast to our Mails and Questions. Thanks for the great days in Kenia!

Well Done!
I just came back home for our 3-months trip that’s why have late review.
Below are special thanks to their crews:
David; the contact person. He booked additional Nairobi lodging to me at my budget, keep frequencies contacting, and solved my enquiries.
Oukozakaro; the driver-guide. He was able to spot and let us as virgin spectators into various animal adventures (quoted Prat’s wordings). The highlights are:
One lion family (13 lions including lion, lioness and cubs),
One sleeping lioness lying on a treetop,
One sleep cheetah at woods,
One wijd/white rhinoceros family (3 wijds),
More than 10-times of lions (single, twin)
Of course, wildebeest great migration, lion hunting process, leopard and her prey on a tree, cheetahs and their prey and so on, and so on….
Additional review will post in TripAdvisor
