Once in a lifetime adventure
Our experience with Lion King was perfect. Anna was great and helped us to organize a trip specified to our wants. We enjoyed every aspect of the safari and felt taken care of every step of the way. The lodges and tented camps (more like glamping than actually camping!) that Anna picked for us were everything she promised.
Our guide and driver, James, went above and beyond for us, truly making the trip.
Our only regret is that we did not stay longer!

Perfect Kenya Safari
We had a lovely time in Kenya! We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli during a 6 day safari.
A ballon flight was also part of the program, and this we can highly recommend.
But, our driver/guide Alex made this experience unforgettable and one of our loveliest memories! A big, big thank to Alex!

Holiday of a lifetime
I spent a considerable amount of time researching our Africa holiday only to find that I felt confused by all the information on the internet. Then I spoke with Encompass Africa! From the moment I emailed and then chatted with Jono on the phone I knew we were going to be well looked after. We are a well travelled family however planning a trip to Africa was a different experience for us and Jono made it all seem so easy. He was wonderful with our kids and he gave them great information to manage their knowledge and expectations about being on safari. We had the most amazing holiday because Encompass Africa listened to us and they understood what we wanted from our holiday. When we were in Africa everything went smoothly and the contacts Encompass Africa have on the ground are so professional and most importantly so warm and friendly. Our holiday was the most wonderful experience for our family. We had the most amazing guide (we miss him!), the accommodation was fantastic and as we expected, the food amazing and plentiful, and the wildlife was incredible because Encompass Africa knew where we needed to be at the time of year we were travelling to see the wildlife. I would definitely book another holiday with Encompass Africa and recommend them highly.

Amazing!. Reception,timing attention to detail was more than we could expect. A wonderful experience
The communication waz great with so much attention to detail. The service is compared to none. I've been to other destinations with different agents but this was by far the best. You deserve 5 stars. Frankly my expectations were average but the guys at Tropical were amazing and exceeded my expectations. The safari was great,you guys have an amazingly beautiful country . Such a shame it's not very well marketed. Please get somebody to fix a few roads and traffic

very reliable with good travel info and quick reponses to our queries
Tammy Harding was our travel consultant from Pembury Tours. She provided great advice about the travel options we could explore and was responsive to both the timing and cost of these proposed options.
She got back to us without fail within 1-2 days of receiving every one of our e-mails.
The accommodation booked at Victoria Falls, Hazyview, and Sabi Sands suited our needs and our budget and made our trip all that more memorable.

Awesome experience!
I booked a 4 day safari with Sunny Safaris for a group of 6 people and we absolutly loved it. They were extremely communicative in our emails, cleared up all our questions and explained how everything worked with very fast replies. We were picked up at the airport and left right away for the agency to pay the rest of the safari. There we were welcomed by the employees, briefed on how the whole plan was set and how things would go. Everyday we got a lunch box with plenty of food for the whole day, the lodges we stayed at were amazing and our guide (named Hassan) was super awesome and nice. So I highly reccomend this agency for an amazing safari experience!!

Incredible Masai Mara Experience
We had an incredible 3-day safari in Masai Mara National Reserve. We booked the tour through Africa Flash McTours & Travel. Peter (the trip organizer) was excellent – he responded promptly to numerous email and phone inquiries we made prior to taking the trip and accommodated our every request including drop off/ pick-up, lodge reservation etc. Peter and the tour guide Cyrus (the absolute best!) picked us from our hotel in Nairobi and took care of us completely until we were dropped off at the airport. Cyrus is very courteous, very knowledgeable, efficient and thoughtful. He knows the vast national reserve like the back of his hand (there are no street signs or even roads) and he knew where (and when) to find the lions, cheetahs and other animals. Because of Cyrus’ expertise, we saw every kind of animal there is to see up close and we were surprised how those animals completely ignore people and vehicles. Thanks to Cyrus, we even saw a lioness hunting a water buffalo, but the herd charged her back. We saw the elusive black rhino and much more-ever seen a jackal? He even went out of his way to find us a hyena. We saw wildebeest migrate across the Mara river which also had alligator and hippos in the area. Cyrus always made sure we had the absolute best view. He arranged a picnic lunch for us-which was pretty awesome too!
Our accommodation in AA Lodge was very comfortable – no mosquitos, hot water (you just have to leave it on for 10 mins before you get it, but that is ok), comfortable bed, etc. The safe deposit box did not have any batteries so we could not use it. We lost a pair of diamond earrings. We were asked to give our room keys every morning before leaving for game drives so they can clean which was unnecessary (we would have preferred to pick up new towels etc. but no cleaning). We tried to contact AA lodge to check on lost & found but no luck. Peter and Cyrus also tried to reach out to AA Lodge folks. Other than this very unfortunate experience, we had an amazing tour and enjoyed every minute of it. Peter and Cyrus are awesome–we highly recommend them.
