Mwenga was engaging, fun, and full of great conversation and knowledge about all that we were seeing
5/5

Our group was big and we spent 2 or so weeks with Mwenga on a tour of several great spots in Kenya. He was able to answer all of our questions and kept engaged and on point the entire trip - even with set backs out of his control (flat tires, etc...)! He handled all of that calming and professionals and it ended up being great times for our family. He got us in front of the big 5 and provided so much extra knowledge during our trip.

BEST VACATION OF MY LIFE!!!
5/5

This is my second safari with Bateleur Eagle Safaris, my best friend and I just returned from a 2 1/2 week vintage safari with them from 8/26/21 to 9/13/21. Everything about this vacation was PERFECT!!!! Our guide Mathew planned out our itinerary and guided us all over Kenya stopping at several game reserves. Our driver Steve was THE BEST!!!!! He drove a thousand miles all over Kenya without any issues at all. During our safari, a dream of mine was to see the Tano Bora (the famous cheetah brothers of the Maasai Mara) and they found them!!!! That was a moment I will never forget and will cherish a lifetime.

It is difficult to put into words the remarkable, amazing adventure my friend and I experienced. The camps were beautiful and comfortable, the food outstanding but the best part was the friendships we made with the Kenyan people. The hardest part was saying goodbye to Mathew and Steve at the airport there were many tears.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing me the best vacation of my life, I am forever grateful. ♥

Sunset Adventure Safari arranged a perfect 5 day safari tour.
5/5

We started from Arusha for the 5 Day Safari with our driver Omary to Tarangire National Park through the Maasai region. In the park we saw a lot of Maasai boys who were busy with cattle herding. In the park the landscape was fantastic, with lots of big baobabtrees and the typical umbrella acacia. Thanks to the sharp eye and the knowledge of Omary we saw lots of animals like lions, a group of elephants in front of the car, lots of giraffes, zebras, gnoes…
The Lake Manyara National Park was very special, driving along the border of the lake, through the forest to the hot springs. Again we saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and baboons. Some were playing on the hood of our car. Omary was never in a hurry. He took time to observe the animals and gave us a lot of opportunities to take pictures and video’s. He was an excellent driver with lots of humor: could’nt be better.
The Serengeti and Lake Ngorongoro were very different because of the yellow dry landscape with also lots of animals like zebras, gazelles, gnoes, buffalos,baboons… We were very lucky because we encountered 3 leopards eating there prey in a tree, 3 male lions passing our car to rest under a tree nearby, a cheeta preparing to hunt and a big group of hippos. The views were fantastic even with clouded weather that day.
On our way back to Arusha we wanted to make a visit to a Maasai village. We were welcomed by a group of dansers; we visited the school were children from 3 to 8 were singing to us andwe were invited to see a Maasai house. Very interesting to see how they live.
The lunches we got every day were very tastefull on a nice spot. The lodges were perfect, nice people and very tasty food. Even in the tented camp where it was not allowed to go outside by night, because of the wild animals in the surrounding. Therefore without hesitation we highly recommend this trip and driver.
Sunset Adventure Safari made a perfect arrangement for a very good price. Thanks a lot.

Took care of EVERYTHING so we could just enjoy the experience!
5/5

I joined a friend on a research trip followed by some fun/vacation time. Esther handled ALL of the logistics, including managing all of the changes to local appointments for the research side of things, making sure we could get Kenyan SIM cards and M-PESA on our phones upon arrival, so that from our perspective the entire trip was seamlessly easy to navigate. Our drives (James and Simon) were excellent, the accommodations were top notch, and I plan to book with Uniglobe again when I come back to Kenya!

Magnificent, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
5/5

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our 5-day Kruger safari and panorama route. Wildlife Safaris and our guide Hoppy organized a stellar itinerary, taking us to various parts of Kruger and allowing us the opportunity to view abundant wildlife—including numerous lion, leopards, and wild dogs. Hoppy was incredibly knowledgeable about the park’s wildlife and many intricacies and always happy to tailor the safari to our interests. He’s a savvy guide and also full of good humor, which greatly enriched the experience.

Strongly recommended!

5/5

My wife and I had the pleasure to be guided by Richard. The experience was by far the most incredible experience we both have had. We were extremely lucky to see so man animals, including the 'Big 5'. In addition, Richard our guide was very kind and he took us to the most amazing places in Tanzania. We are very pleased with the tour and we would love to come back soon.

All the best of safari!
5/5

Although it was a difficult time due to the pandemic, Emmelyn of Savanna Safari & Tours managed to organize our trip, preparing a very interesting itinerary that allowed us to visit Botswana and Zimbabwe. We had a very knowledgeable guide, Anthony, who we highly recommend. All went well.

One of the best day of our lives
5/5

We booked a one day safari from Zanzibar and the experience was exceptional. All the staff in Zanzibar and the guide/driver in the Selous reserve were very friendly, nice and helpful. We were able to see so many animals in their natural habitat (inside an open jeep). We can only highly recommended them. This will offer you a one-time life experience.
They even offer to take care of our luggage during our trip because we were changing from one hotel to another that day. The safari is worth every dollar.

Excellent
5/5

James is one of a kind! He truly enriched our Safari experience as our planner, driver & guide. This was my second Safari but first experience with James’s company!

He’s personable, patient & most of all knowledgeable on all things Safari.
He went above & beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. He took lesser known routes to bring us closer to the big5.

If you’re considering working with James, do not hesitate. You won’t regret it!
