Thank you Kenya Walking, you are the best!
We, a family of 4, with youngest member being 10 years old, visited Kenya for ~2 weeks, in late July/early August' 2017 with Kenya Walking. Boy oh boy, it was a dream trip and Mr. Otieno and team made it to be a wonderful experience of life, for all of us. It can not get better than this.
We had done some research and decided to book our tour with Kenya Walking. Kenya Walking has it's own fleet of good vehicles and great knowledgeable employee base. There are no other middlemen involved and we found them to be very reasonably priced.
We had requested for luxury accommodations and that's what we got. Great hotels with very comfortable living, strategically located and great food with cuisine options of Kenyan, Western and Indian cuisines, all included in the package.
They guided us and customized the itinerary per our request. Mr. Otieno is very responsive and usually reverts back within a few hours on any emails/queries. Very good in communication and easy to work with. Once we got there, they took good care of us and it did feel that they were trying their best all the time to make it the best possible experience for all of us.
We had Mr. Anthony as our tour guide and driver. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, flexible and caring professional. He is very safe driver too. It really felt like a family of 5. With Anthony we had great sightings, lot of fun and tons of learning,.
There was an over-payment situation at one of the hotel for some reason, hotel did not refund it right away, Mr. Otieno followed up with the hotel directly after we left and secured us the payment back. What else can you ask for, really?
Thank you the team at Kenya Walking. We are already considering for our next trip, the Gorilla Trek with Kenya Walking in about a year or two. :-)

The most beautiful roadtrip with the kindest service; seeing the most beautiful animals in the world
The Safari was fantastic! The communication was 100% on point. We knew what we were doing, when we were supposed to do it. The living accommodations were beautiful! The first resort we stayed at was right off the Nile, you could hear the hippos and other animals; very peaceful. The last hotel in Kampala before going home was extraordinary, better than anything I could have ever expected. The local food is fantastic, we picked some up along the way and we couldn't have been happier. The safari was fantastic. We saw elephants, giraffes, lions and even a leopard. I would suggest bringing some binoculars for the far away animals such as the leopard because you have to stay on the road with the vehicle, but a game warden joins the tour and they are extremely knowledgeable. We saw way more animals but without going to in depth, it was like I was in a national geographic episode. This has been the best experience of my life and I highly recommend you book through Uzuri.

Fantastic 4 days with the Axis Africa Safaris
We didn't have any problems at all from the beginning: when we book the Safari, until we say bye to them. Ease to communicate by email or by phone . Lenox always was there for us. Very long drive from Nairobi airport to get to Safari, but with our amazing driver Johny time gone quick. Many thanks for Johny for good driving, lost of information ... Driver with amazing personality!

I was part of a larger group that booked Migration Venture Africa for our safari adventures.
The people who are part of Migration Venture Africa were all great, as I found all Tanzanians to be. The company was very attentive to any issues or concerns, however my only request would be that they invest in newer safari vehicles. The vehicle I was in ended-up breaking down along side the road, after a day and half fidgeting with the radiator.

Excellent organisation of a 3-day Safari and 1-day Kilimanjaro walk.
With Seven Wonders, I booked a 3-day safari in Tanzania and I confirm that the whole safari was incredible and very well organized. Our guide Erick was very professional and very helpful. I booked also a 1-day Kilimanjaro walk, and this was also very well organized. My guide Joseph was very knowledgeable and very helpful during the whole day of our walk up to Mandara Hut. Congratulations to Seven Wonders and its Manager for the Excellent organization of my tours in Tanzania.

Great fun 7 day safari
We dealth with Lennox at Axis safari. Booking process was easy and straighforward. Lennox was prompt and detailed with his responses. Our driver for the trip was James. He was great fun, informative and proactive. We went for the 7 day option, 3 days in the Maasi Mara, 2 at the lakes and 2 at Amboseli. Maasi Mara was the highlight of the trip as expected. Amboseli comes in second with a lot of close encounters with elephants. We stayed at the Kibo lodge at Amboseli, we highly recommend Kibo. Axis also helped us with booking the hotel in nairobi, we stayed at After 40 which was a good little hotel.
We highly recommend Axis Safari.

Adventure is out there. Ben makes it happen.
We chose Karibu Safaris in Kenya to go on a 6 day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was the best decision.
What should I say? No words could possibly describe the feeling you get when you're on safari. It's an adventure full of moments that take your breath away. I constantly felt in love with the world. The amount and range of animals we've seen, the ever changing landscapes and the colours (especially at sunrise and sunset) will just burn into your soul.
But all that wouldn't have been possible in that way if it wasn't for our amazing guide Ben. He was the best!!! He knew where to find the animals and he brought us so close to them. When we wanted him to stop for a photo he did. When we wanted to stop for coffee/beer at a lodge he did. Ben was very knowledgable and taught us a lot. He has also given us some tips like for example: when we arrived at the campsite at Amboseli National Park our first game drive was going to be at 8am. But he told us that if we get up for sunrise it's the best time to see Kilimanjaro - and honestly that was one of my best Kenya moments! Watching the sunrise, seeing Kilimanjaro changing its colours and there was a giraffe with a baby passing by, too. One hour later the clouds covered the mountain. So thank you Ben!!! :) Now that I'm in the gratitude part of the review: Thank you Ben for saving our lunch from the cheeky baboons, too!
Another thing: Traffic in Kenya is a bit crazy and I'm a very bad passenger, but I fully trusted Ben's driving skills. I didn't worry about it once and that means something! Hakuna Matata :) Plus he's got a great playlist!
I don't know what else to say as words really can't describe it. Maybe this says a lot: I'll go back to Kenya next year and book the same tour with Ben again!
Guys, don't worry, just book the thing! You won't regret it! It's an adventure you'll never forget.
There's just one danger... you're probably aware of the travel bug - once you start travelling you want to travel more and more. I think there must be a safari bug, too because I thought it's enough to do a safari once in a lifetime but even though we've seen every animal I will go back again!
Again: Thank you Ben and see you next year!
