Amazing wildlife experience
The park was extremely amazing, I saw a lot of wildlife, all of the Big 5 including two prides of lions. Our guide James was very knowledgeable about the animals, Amboseli park and Kenya at large which made the game drives interesting. He has a sharp eye that is why he was able to spot and point out so many different animals which made the safari even better. Linsel who works at Safari Update Travels was very resourceful in making my booking a success. The Amboseli Sopa Lodge was brilliant and ecofriendly - the staff were friendly and service was top notch, location was perfect, we ate our breakfast with breathtaking scenes of Kilimanjaro in the background! I highly recommend Safari Update Travels.

Game drive to remember!
My friends and I embarked on an adventure trip to Masai Mara with Simon as our tour guide under Safari Update Travels.
We started our journey to Masai Mara, camping at Enkorok Mara Camp we were welcomed with Maasai warriors "Morans". After checking in our rooms and refreshing ourselves we went for an evening game drive.
The site of the great tembo "elephant" welcomed us while driving. Immediately after we were able to see the tano bora "best five cheetahs" as they were pursuing their prey.
The drive ended later in the evening and we went back to our camp. The following day early in the morning we went back in search of the great simba "lion" luckily through the skilled efforts of our tour guide we were able to find a pride of lions. Simon is more than a common tour guide because we were able to get authentic safari experience and the best shots of the animals.
Masai Mara adventure is thrilling, wonderful views of the Mkapa hills and Sopa hills. In order to get a full experience of Masai Mara I advice to book with Safari Update Travels and if possible request for Simon as your tour guide.

Unexpected Success
One of the most beautiful sights I've laid eyes on. Thanks, Great Image Expedition Ltd, for the sunrise summit.

Fantastic tour, amazing staff
We booked a tour of Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro with 7wonders through another company in Kenya. The Kenyan company were pretty useless with communication & details, but Evelyn at 7wonders was amazing. She picked up the pieces and organised the left-out details. She deserves heaps of praise. Prompt communication, with kindness, understanding & humour. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Our driver/guide Nestory was also superb. He was a great game-spotter and had good knowledge of birds too. We would not have seen such amazing wildlife without his knowledge & telescopic vision!
Chef Steve was excellent.....how do you put together so many great meals with such basic tools???
Thank you for a fabulous trip.

Perfect safari experiences in Tanzania!
From the first contact Vincent advised us perfectly and responded to all our wishes. Vincent was flexible and answered us by email within a few hours.
Our guide Alex knew everything about the animals and always anticipated correctly where they were. Due to the unlimited kilometers at Vimat Safari we were able to go everywhere and enjoy special moments just for us. Alex also took care of our well-being during the safari and took excellent care of the car. Alex drove us safely through the wilderness at all times.
The accommodations left nothing to be desired even in the middle of the Serengeti and we could enjoy the trip.
We can highly recommend Vimat Safari and our guide Alex.

Amazing experience
My wife and I did an 8 day safari, starting in Nairobi, visiting Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo West and ending at Diani Beach. It was incredible and somewhat surreal experience. Having loved nature shows since I was a kid it almost didn't feel real that I was seeing all the wildlife, in the wild, in person. Our guide Khalifa was great, he was very knowledgeable and skilled at finding and spotting animals. The food and accommodations (in tented camps for the whole trip) were excellent.
We stayed at Enkorok camp for Maasai Mara, Flamingo tented camp for Lake Nakuru, Kibo Camp at Amboseli, and Voyager Ziwani Camp for Tsavo, all of which were great. Ziwani Camp in particular was memorable as it was on a river with crocodiles and hippos and you could watch the hippos as you eat and find crocodiles sunning themselves around the camp.
I had been debating with myself whether we should being trying to visit so many places in the short time we had or to stay longer at fewer parks but I'm really glad we did the trip we did. Not only was it great to see all the parks but I also really enjoyed the drive though the towns and countryside between the parks.

Efficient, personal service with the most amazing recommendations!
Firstly, I fell in love with Sister Safaris via their social media accounts - watching their Instagram stories and content made me feel as though I was in the bush experiencing the wildlife through their camera lens! So when my partner and I decided to book a local holiday I had to book with them and Sarah-Jane. From the get go, Sarah-Jane was super efficient with gathering quotes for us, we were looking for a 4/5 star "bush" experience up north. Her excitement and eagerness to send through information and imagery for the various options made choosing which which package really difficult - she just seemed to understand what we were looking for :-) Sarah-Jane also continuously kept us updated with any changes to Covid restrictions as and when she received them and just made the booking process a breeze. The entire holiday was exactly what we anticipated and more and I cannot recommend Sister Safari's enough!
