Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Chotirot Chalaruk
Overall rating
5/5

Lake Naguru National Park is surrounded by dense communities but keeping wildlife free without disturbing them. It is easily to see buffalo seem to be it’s territory. We saw 4 of big five here except elephants. If flamingo was there, it would be a must visit.

5/5

Our 10-day tour of Kenya was perfect for my son and me. The trip covered 4 major preserves - Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli, as well as, time in the rift area at Lake Naivasha / Crescent Island. We saw the Big 5 - Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Rhino and Water Buffalo - plus hundreds of other animals and birds. Elephants, Giraffe, Impala, Gazelle, Toppi, Wildebeest, Water Buffalo, Water Bok and others were in large herds including babies. White Pelicans and Flamingos were in massive flocks. Several days were in floored tent accommodations within the preserves so you could hear the animals at night (resort was fenced). In the Lake Naivasha area where there were no predators, Giraffe and Zebra crossed the resort yard at dusk. This tour covered much of middle and southern Kenya, so you saw varied landscape (Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro) vegetation and life styles besides the variety in wildlife.

Kenyans were lovely, and food was excellent with many fresh fruits and vegetables. Accommodations were excellent though smaller and more personal than the 5-star International hotels. Our guide had over 20 years in the business, so he knew where and when to go on game outings and was willing to make changes to suit us. We traveled in "shoulder" season about 3 weeks before high season so there were fewer crowds everywhere and the weather was great. Not too hot and not rainy.

This trip was a great balance of value and comfort for an African Safari. We have incredible pictures and memories! However, in our experience it is not a Luxury tour to American standards. There is a lot of time in the van over pretty rough roads, long days, much standing to view game and moderate walking. Since we arranged for 2 of us in a van which could hold 6 persons, I suggest that each party carefully review the size and type of transportation, road travel times and distances and confirm schedule details with your agent. Some days are longer than the materials indicate, and lunch is on the road not at the hotel. Best to travel with one suit case and light weight sun protective clothing. A camera with optical zoom is a must.

ENJOY A TRIP OF A LIFE TIME! FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN A NEW VERSION OF OUT OF AFTICA!

With my wife, we have chosen to go to Kenya for our 30 years wedding anniversary. We started to climb the Kenya mountain followed by safaris in Amboseli, Nakuru and Masaï Mara for 12 days trip. The experience was great and we would like to highlight the following:
We chose Beaconsafaris as our agent for the stay due to their excellent service when designing the trip. A big thank you to Robert and his team for always following up on our queries and responding quickly on all matters with flexibility and keeping a good balance in the schedule. The service during our trip was also excellent with very good support and smooth transition.
The team for the trek were right sized, supporting us with kindness allowing us to succeed to reach the top of the mountain at 4985 meters.

The safari driver and guide, was very friendly and kind and drove us comfortably and safely to interesting watching spots for the animals. He also had very good knowledge of the area and the animals we saw. He also facilitated contact with a Masai community that we will keep in our memory.
We were able to watch the "Big five" and so many other animals. The natural beauty and the "authenticity" of the experience were very different from visiting a zoo. Among others, we will remember the elephants bath in front of the Kilimanjaro at Amboseli, the sunset in Nakuru with the buffalos and rhinoceros, a leopard hunting scene in Masai mara,…
We chose a Toyota Land Cruiser, very much appreciated for his capacity to get through « everywhere » and it is sometimes necessary ;-).

The lodges were very confortable contributing to the very good experience with a special mark for the Flamingo Hill camp in Nakuru.

Overall, we can highly recommend Beaconsafaris as your partner in designing and arranging your Kenya/Safari vacation. If you chose the Kenya mountain trek, do not compromise with the recommended equipments.

They gave us personalized service, and went above and beyond the scope of the tour itinerary.
5/5

Apart from all the other excellent services provided, the staff of Touch the Moon tours exposed us to the Spirit of the common people of Zimbabwe. The love and courtesy shown to us on every leg of our trip was unparalleled.
From the Hotel employees to the Victoria Falls Airport staff and all the Tour guides. From the very Historically knowledgeable captain of the Zambezi river, dinner cruise boat to the Master of ceremonies at Isabella's Wedding and all the street vendors selling us souvenirs. And not forgetting our guide par excellence Mr Classo. Thank you all very much.
The true heart of any country we visit is in its people, and Zimbabwe takes first place.
I WILL BE BACK SOON.

Tour operator was extremely professional, organized and responsive. Made us feel safe and welcome.
5/5

My 10 year old daughter and I went on this trip together. It was a life changing experience for both of us, and one that we will forever be grateful for. Although traveling to Africa can seem overwhelming and scary, this was entirely opposite of our experience. The staff at Aramati Safaris Ltd was amazing. They were waiting for us when we landed and remained with us for every step of our journey. They were professional, organized and extremely responsive to us. They made us feel safe and secure throughout our time in Africa and "went the extra mile." It was clear that it was important to them that we enjoy our stay but also that we fall in love with Africa and everything it has to offer. They are passionate about what they do and their excitement was infectious. I also appreciated how gentle they were with my daughter. They took their time to be sure to interact with her and to ask her questions. Moreover, when we encountered poverty they were sure to talk with her to be sure that she was emotionally processing things ok. Because of this although Aramati Safaris Ltd were initially our tour guides by the time we left we felt as if they were our family. It was the best vacation I have ever been on and an experience that my daughter and law will never forget. We plan on returning soon and when we do we will use Aramati Safaris Ltd. Not only with Aramati Safaris Ltd be the only tour guides I will ever use I would unequivocally recommend them to anyone.

Extremely responsive management team and an outstanding driver.
5/5

We were very pleased with Kiboko Safaris from start to finish. Clare was extremely responsive throughout the planning process and worked hard to tailor the safari to our needs and desires. The driver she selected for us, Lenny, was amazing. Friendly, knowledgable and understanding of our desires from the trip, he did any excellent job teaching us and showing us around the country. We felt that their dedication to customer service was unmatched. Their company comes highly recommended by us for any family interested in taking a safari in Kenya.
