Safari was great. Food was very bad at Masai Mara and on road.
James was an excellent guide and driver and took us to the deep interiors of Masai Mara to ensure that we could see all the Big 5. Lake nakaru was a bit disappointing as the hoards of Flamingos expected were not there and we should have been informed earlier. Gorge walk and water safari in Lake Naivasha were interesting.
However the food at Masaia Mara especially the dinner was really of very poor quality. At Nakaru and Naivasha it was better.
All in al a memorable experience but do something about Board arrangements.

Met my holiday expectations
We had a long communication before I settled on the offers and after my 6 days trip in Kenya Maasai mara , Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with onward Kilimanjaro trek my expectations were all met.
The service was well organised.

Amazing experience with fantastic driver/guide, never to be forgotten
When I talked to Benson he told me he was the kid on the side of the road who wanted to grow up and drive that Safari truck. Well he did and more, he has created a company in his country with fellow Tanzanians and shows it to anyone who wants to view it with gusto. Our driver Peter was fantastic, we at all times were safe, treated with the highest regard, given a wealth of information about everything people, places, landmarks, animals. This trip was never on my bucket list, however because of my sister in law and the Benson Safaris team, it has become a trip of a lifetime.

Wonderful experience made possible by great people.
The experience not only lived up to my expectations but exceeded it. The price range was at par with the services provided and the few hiccups were quickly ironed out rather efficiently. I since recommended it to a few friends who had nothing but praise for the communication and accomodations that they were given. I will for sure utilize their services again.

Fantastic safari experience
We booked a 6 day Tanzania safari with Masai Wanderings and would highly recommend them. When researching the trip we investigated many different companies, but Masai Wanderings stood out for their very friendly, honest and knowledgable service. Our guide Kwaru was great and with him we toured Tarangire (staying one night at the lovely Sangaiwe tented lodge) and then Ngorogoro crater (staying at Endoro lodge, a lovely lodge set in beautiful grounds). We then caught a small plane to the Northern Serengeti to stay at Kaskaz Mara, the highlight of our trip. This is a perfect "Out of Africa" setting, with luxury tents (with super comfortable beds and hot showers) overlooking the plains. At night the wildebeest and animal noises ensure you don't forget you are in Africa, and the staff (Charles and his team) are friendly and very attentive. We were not expecting much from the food given the camp's remote location, but the Chef consistently prepared delicious and inventive meals. Our guide John took us on game drives in a fantastic open top vehicle, stocked with cold drinks and beer ! He was flexible enough to work around our requirements, and we were lucky enough to see the wildebeest migration across the Mara river. We wished we could have stayed longer but left promising to return, and won't be forgetting this trip for a long time to come. If you are unsure about whether to book with Masai Wanderings - don't be. Donna and the team will ensure you have the trip of a lifetime.

Wonderful Safari Experience
We did a 7 days / 6 nights trip to Aberdare, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara national parks. The lodges were all very nice, had great food and friendly staff. The national parks were stunningly beautiful. Each park is different and has it´s own, unique character. Our guide Charles was just excellent. Always super-friendly and laid back. Of course he also is an excellent driver, extremely good at spotting wildlife and happy to share his knowledge about all the species as well.
Itstartedinafrica provided a very friendly, flexible, and professional service and organized the whole trip perfectly at a reasonable price.

Wonderful Kenya
It was my first safari experience but I think that I made a good choice by choosing Ancient Wild Safaris. Mike was on-line since my first minutes in airport in Kenya and it was as a friendly support for a lonely stranger in an unfamiliar country )) Except safari he organized for me a lovely tour to a tea farm for less money. Cyrus - my safari-guide was polite and well mannered man with sincere love for animals (sometimes it looks like he admires of wildlife more than I do)). Safari was well organized, with a good choice of hotels, in one of which I saw a leopard coming to the hotel for feeding, and in another hotel - a sweet couple of lions coming to the watering place or just for a romantic walk )) For 3 days we visited Amboseli and Tsavo East and West. I did not see only a rhino, but for this I had to go to Masai Mara.
Maybe other time ))! And I sure with Mike and his excellent team!

Best Experience !!!
We booked our honeymoon through Australken we did a safari and a beach holiday in Mombasa. We have nothing but praise for Zippy and her team for the effort she put in as we kept on changing our safari dates.
Our guide Symon was the best, so educative about the wildlife and the entire country. Our highlight was in Masai Mara at Osero Camp as we got a good honeymoon suite and a complimentary bush diner . We definitely recommend this company and if we return we will use them again.

Perfect experience
We visited Masai Mara in June 2017 and returned home with fantastic memories.
First of all our driver John was one of the main reasons for our successful trip. Our trip started with a timely pick-up from the hotel. During the trip to Masai Mara and the safari game drives John have been very informative and told us of the fun experiences he had on other game drives, about the animals and Africa in general. He was great at spotting the animals, as well as using walkies to get notified of where the animals were, and racing through Masai Mara to spot them. We were lucky to see all of the big 5 animals and take plenty of pictures. Thank you John! :)
Apart from that we stayed at the great camp, Ashnil Mara. The camp was situated at the heart of Masai Mara, so the game drives started as soon as we drove out of the camp. The camp is located by the Mara river, where we could watch the animals come by. We lived in luxurious tents, which were both beautiful and comfy. The food was great and plenty. In the evenings we could relax outside by the fire and listen to the hippo noises in the Mara river.

All We Could Hope For in Livingstone!
Joseph Moyo was all we could hope for and more in planning and executing our leisure travel. We brought a group of 23 volunteers with us to Zambia to do humanitarian work in Lusaka. Following our work, we planned 4 days in Livingstone for leisure travel. Never having been to Livingstone we looked for someone to guide us as we planned activities. After reading reviews, we settled on African Coast Travel and Tours. Joseph was prompt at responding and always a step ahead of us. We did a jaw dropping tour of Victoria Falls! We saw the falls from both the Zambia and Zimbabwe side, they were spectacular!!!! That evening we were whisked of on a Sunset Cruise along the Zambezi River, it was perfect. The second day we headed to Chobe National Park. We spent the day in Botswana and Zambia. Lunch was amazing at the Chobe Safari Lodge. It was a perfect day, we saw many animals and had excellent guides. Day 3 included a trip to Mukuni Village, Livingstone Museum, and taking in the Maramba Market. That afternoon and Day 4 prior to our departure, Joseph arranged everyone in the groups individual activities including a Lion Walk, Bungee Jumping, Micro Flights, Elephant Safari and much more. We loved every minute of our time with Joseph and his team. They were amazing!
